emit will allow men to enter the mine with
any chance of success.
The Whipple mine Is located within two
miles of the Stuart mine. which exploded
on January 20, killing eighty men, Both

HURRICANES.

A storm OF slmost hurricane force,
which swept over New York Monday
night snd YESTERDAY, did mu b damage
and caused grsst Inconvenience both on
land and water. Sheets of binding
rain wa.hsd out streets, undermined en-
bsnkmen,s aud fences, broke plateglass
windows and make navigation on the
waterways around the city most haz-
srdous. The Sound steamers got the
foil force of the storm, and several of
them were hours late in reaching their
piers.

panic yesterday. Trees we're uprooted,
roofs of houses blown of and in many
instances carried several hundred yards.
Telegraph, telephone and electric light
poles we're blown down, and traffic on
the Delaware Division OF the Pennsyl-
ysnia Railroad was stopped for time.
Much damage was done in Nanticoke
CITY, a suburb of 5eaford, and Reliance,
Md, where it is said that many were
hurt and their homes swept away. When
the cyclone struck the town many people
were on the streets, having just arrived
on the northbound express. Everyone
was terrorstricken and rushed for place
OF safety, number being struck by fall
ing trees and receiving slight injuries.
In tne negro settlement panic also en-
sued, many seeking refuge in their frsil
shanties, many of which were blown
down.
The storm was severe at most cities on
the Atlantic seaboard.
Dispatches from Norfolk say that a
high wind and rain storm yesterday
caused considerable excitement in that
city and vicinity especially at the James
town Exposition. The damage, how
ever, was not great.
The death of one boy, the destruction
of au engine house on the Gloucester
ferry pier a: Gloucester, N. j., the blow
ing of horse and cart loaded with coal
into the river from the came pier, the
uprooting of scores of trees and other
minor damage resulted from the storm
which struck Philadelphia and vicinity
Yesterday. While the storm was severe
in the city proper, it was considerably
heavier along the Delaware river and in
New Jersey. Several schooners and
sailing vessels we're blown from their
moorings and hsd to be towed back by
tugs.

CHURCH ROBBERS.

Considerable sensation has been caused
by the remarkable confession of Antoine
Thomas, of fOlermont- -Ferrand, who was
arrested in Paris with his mother and
brother, charged with completely in the
theft of the famous Cope of Orth, which
belonged to the State and is valued at
$l20 900, from the church of Ambazac,
near Limoges, France. A man named
Antoine Faure has also been arrested as
an accomplice of Thomas in the loOiiug
of churches. Proof has been obtained
that Thomas and Fsure are the authors
of the recent burglary at the museum at
Gueret.
For months precious relics have been
disappearing from churches, creating the
impression that gang of thieves was
systematically at work. Thomas, who
gave himself up TO clear his mother and
sister, now asserts that this theory is
correct. He declares that after the pas
sage of the church and State separation
law and the taking of the church inven-
tories began, sntiquaries Of Paris, some
OF whom are millionaires, hired him and
Others to go through the country and
bribe the parish priests to surrender the
relics and substitute counterfeits, which
could be turned over to the State.
He says this plan of operation con-
tipued for months, but as many OF the
most valuable church treasures could not
be counterfeited, he finally went boldly
into the business of wholesale burglary.
| Thomas estimated the amount OF his
robberies at $500, 900.
Thomas declares that on his travels he
found other men engaged in similar
work and this indicates that the syste-
matte pluudering Of churches had been
organized on an extensive scale. Even
stained glass windows have been taEen
out and replaced with sn inferior article,
while the substitution Of imitation for
priceless bronzes, ivories, paintings and
tapestries have been innumerable.
1t is believed that almost all the treas
ures were sold in England or America
A thorough investigation is being con,
Quoted in Paris, and it is believed thai
some antiqusries Of international repu'
tatiou are implicated.
