COUPLE OF TRAINS
LOST IN STORM
ENGINES AND ALL WASHED INTO
PENSACOLA BAY.

PENSACOLA, Fla, Oct 1.-The
Louisville & Nashville today learned
that two solid trainloads Of freight
with the engines had been lost about
ten miles from the city on the P. & A.
Division. The trains were left on the
tracks by the crews when the water
put out the engine fires and were
washed into the bay and lost, the en-
gines being buried in the sand.
A feeling of cheerfulnees, after two
days of gloom, prevailed in stricken
Pensacola today and the citizens fac
ed the situation-that of clearing
away the wreckage and rebuilding
with a vim that speaks volumes. It
is known that the destroyed portions
of the city, wharves and mills, will not
only be rebuilt, but in the place of the
old one will be erected larger and
more commodious ones. Immense
sawmill plants will take the places Of
those destroyed, new and handsome
buildings are to be erected at once
on the sites Of those 50 badly damag-
ed as to be condemned, and new
Pensacola will emerge, in the course
OF a few months, from the wreck of
old Pensacola. 4r-s -fasfee -

LOUISVILLE, KY, Sept. 27.-The

twenty-four hours has been churning
the waters Of the Gulf of Mexico and

PENSACOLA, Fla, Sept. 27.-The
worst storm and hurricane that the
Gulf coast has experienced since the
village of Pensacola, on Santa Rosa
Island, was swept away 40 years ago,
began last night and is still raging.
Every house in the city has suffered
severe damage, and many roofs are
blown on, telegraph, telephone and
electric light wires are tangled, the
water front is strewn with wreckage
for miles on either side of the city,
and vessels are piled on the wharves,
or where the wharves we're, In utter
ruin.
Big iron steamer and many large
sailing ships are now lying high up
In the city where the tide has never
been known to reach before, and ev-
cry wharf for miles around has been
swept away or is damaged beyond re-
pair.
II is reported that many lives be-
tween the city and the navy yard have
been lost, but no definite, details can
be secured. 1t is known, however,
that many Of the houses in that Sec
ton are now under from to 10 feet
of water, and many women have been
taken from the second story windows
and carried to safety in boats.
The electric power was shut of at
/ o'clock this morning. There is no
street car traffic and communication
with the outside world is entirely shut
off.
The scenes in parts of the city al
most beggar description and he
streets are strewn with timbers, tin
roofing and broken glass.
The Western Union has men hard
at work trying to clear wires, and this
dispatch, with other telegraphic mat
ter, is being carried to Flomaton, Ala,
by the Western Union manager, who
makes the trip by train to ascertain
the exact extent of damage done
1t is feared great havoc and loss of
life will be shown when reports from
the entire section along the coast can
be gathered.
The estimated damage here is three
million dollars.

It is certainly gratifying to note the
general tendency to clean up public
and private property throughout the
city this spring. Bismarck never pre-
scented a more clearly appearance
than she does now and this fact is
being noted by visitors who do not
fail to speak of it. The fact that Bis
marck people are interested in this
matter has been favorably commented
On by nearly every paper in the state
and everyone, rich and poor, should
maintain the good opinion of the city
that has become general. In this
matter the Tribune claims no credit
or particular virtue. 1t has honestly
tried to arouse a public interest in the
general betterment of conditions, and
is gratifed that it, needed but the
calling of attention to evils existing in
some places to secure a remedy, as
the citizens as a rule are heartily in
favor of civic improvement. The en-
dorsement of right thinking people
has been sufficient reward for the
Tribune in the not very pleasant work
of calling attention to conditions thai
progressive persons agree should moi
exist. ..<......

The report of the state historical
society shows some substantial pro
gress. during the past year. Excellent
relics of early Indian civilization have
been unearthed and placed in the
museum of the society at the capitol.
Newspapers and publications in large
numbers, dealing with historical mat
tiers have been received by the society.
Steps have been taken toward obtain
ing private collections of Indian relics
and other historical articles as soon
as funds are available with which to
pay for them. The next legislature
should make a little more generous
provision for the prosecution of his
torical research. The excellent work
that has been done by e. R. Stein
brueck of Mandan toward gathering
Indian relics has been done with only
a meagre allowance, that merely
covered expenses and in some CO ses
did not do even that much. The long
er the work of historical research is
delayed the more diffcultsit becomes.

ARRoR DAY PROCLAMATION,

Agreeably to long established GUS
tom and because it is especially wise
and necessary that the people of these
prairie states should get apart a day
for the planting of trees and shrubs
and the identifying of homes and
public places, do designate
Friday, April ~, 1906.
as Arbor Day for the State of North
Dakota.
On that day 1 recommend that all
citizens join in the work of setting
out trees and shrubs. Let our schools
and public institutions be further
adorned with the forest growths that
shall bring comfort and delight to this
and future generations. Let appro-
PIRATE exercises be held in the public
schools that our children may be
taught the wisdom of common labor
for the civic good and join with in
telligence and affection in the work of
beautifying OUT state. Let the love of
nature enter into and brighten the
hearts of the whole people and lot
them signify their gratitude for leaf
and shade by bringing forth these
groves that were the first temples of
God.

A Winnipeg man proposes to bring
a suit in federal court at Fargo to
discover whether he can recover en-
an accident policy held by his brother,
when death occurred from typhoid
fever. The contention of the plaintiff
viii be, of course. that the catching of
the fever was within the province Of
accidents. While, as strict lasal
question, we must leave the final de-
termination of this interesting con-
tention to the courts, it has not been
generally recognized that diseases
contracted in the usual manner, come
within the scope of the general under
standing of accidents" If 1t were so
in this case, then appendicitis, due to
the accidental aodgment of a foreign
substance in the appendix, would sure
" be an accident, as much as the de-
posit of a flying particle in the eye.
If the courts should hold with the
plaintiff in this case, and the decision
be generally approved, 1t would result

Governor Folk should have some
work to his liking in the discovery
and punishment of the ringleaders of
the mob at Springfield, Missouri, that
hanged and burned three negroes, two
of whom, it seems probable, were
suspected only and innocent of any
crime. Notwithstanding the many
cases of 1ynehing reported, in few if
any of them is there any determined
pursuit and punishment Of the leaders
of the mob. Public feeling subsidies,
the prominence of persons involved
leads to a concerted effort to hush
matters up and in the end no legal
prosecution follows. 1t is more than
likely that few rigorous prosecu-
tons, followed with Imprisonment,
would have a strong tendency to dis
courage many future inclinations to-
mob violence.

Kansas City, April 1S.-The first
session of the lower house of the city
council under the administration OF
Mayor Henry M. -Birdsley (Rep), who
was inaugurated Monday, developed a
stubborn deadlock over the election OF
speaker. At 1890 a. m, after 104
fruitless ballots had been taken, the
tired councilmen, following a siege of
nearly fourteen hours, seemed no
closer to solution than when the
session opened. At that hour a motion
to adjourn was voted down
Coffee and sandwiches were brought
into the chamber at different times for
the councilmen.
The deadlock was broken shortly
before noon when D. R. Spaulding, a
Republican, was elected speaker on
the 118th ballot.
