GALE CAUSES DAMAGE.
Vessels Filled With Water and De-
layed En- Route

When the Southerly winds of yeSterda V
morning whipped around to the northwest
in the afternoon he advance guard of the
northwester came with a rush, and for
about two hours a heavy gale was on.
In the vicinity of this city it was partcu-
larly heavy, and a heavy sea was caused by
the force of the gale. Several minor ma
rne accidents are reported in consequence.
The steam lighter Daniel X. Jackson,
which was coming up the river heavily
| laden with cordwood met the gale be-
tween this city and Alexandria. The heavy
seas made clean sweep over her deck,
and so great was the volume of water that
found its way into her hold that Captain
Owens ran the vessel ashore on the mud
flats to keep her from sinking. After the
gale moderated the Jackson was pumped
out and foated and resumed her trip to
this city
When the gale began to blow the little
schooner j. c. Cunningham, which was
coming to this city with cargo of lumber,
went to anchor between this city and Shep-
herds. During the blow she dragged her
anchor and carried ashore on the flats
! on the District side of the river where she
remained until high water last night. when
she was fioated and resumed her trip to this
city.
The power launch Southerner lying at
the pier of the new siee plant. was filled
with water from the sea washing over her
as she swung at her mOoring lines. No
harm was done the little craft and she was
pumped out by her owners yesterday after
noon and returned, it is stated, to this
city.
While the blow was at it's height the little
tug James jackson, jr. of Alexandria was
| on her way to the Eastern branch towing
Deans mud dredging machine and two
scOWs. The force OF the gale was heavy
that, it Is stated the tug had all she could
do to hold her tow against the wind and
keep it from going ashore. Another tug
came to her aid. and the two steamers
succeeded in carrying the dredging machine
to its destination in the branch.

his position as assistant secretary OF tho
treasury at Washington.
Before the close OF the Higgins adminis-
tration 1t reported that George w.
Dunn, state railroad commissioner, would
resign soon after Governor Hughes took
office. The governor said today that he
had not yet received the resignation. He
refused to say whether or not he would APP
point successor to Col. Dunn at the end
of the latters term.
1t was made clear today that any talk
of modification of the recommendations
made by Governor Hughes in his message
to the legislature comes from a source
outside the executive chamber. The gov
ernor says he has not discussed that point

not fancy that he loves his country, while
he dislikes and despses his countrymen and
everything they have done and are doing.
The history he loves and has helped to

At South Congregational Church.
From the time when called to the South
Congregational Unitaran) Church in Bos-
ton in 1856 to 1900, when he became pastor
emeritus. DIR. Hale has been engaged al
ways in carrying out one purpose. His
aim has never been to impress himself on
his country as a speculative thinker or
upon his congregation as metaphysical
theologian. His has been the theology OF
the heart. With a constant consideration
of contemporaneous themes, without emu
latng the oratory of Charming, Hedge or
even Phillips Brooks, but irradiated with
practical spirit of brothery love, absolutely
democratic, with sincerity, common sense
and wit, with wealth of "reminiscences and
felicity of phrase, he has set himself to eX-
pound the nature, not of the Jehovah OF
Israel. but the God of America. He has
function to overcome inertia and get the
masses under way in the right direction,
and in his reiteration of his belief in God
as an ally, in his motto, Live, learn, teach
with God for men, Boston is said to have
come to regard him as its st. Christopher,
whose Christianity exists to leaVen the
civic lump and to be a preservative salt
for society.

Planters Can Get No Money.

AS a result of the terrible Tightening of

an extension. as the revolution. the hurri-
cane, the dry weather and the shortage of
labor had made the harvest late. He never
had had any trouble with the bank in
twenty years. He was told he would have
to pay all, on account of the uncertainty of
the American occupation. as the bank had
decided to collect all the money possible and
make no new loans. Other bankers and
brokers told him the same story. He men
