PEARY FAMILY REUNION
 HELD ON THE ROOSEVELT

sydney, N. B., Sept 20.--Commander Robert E. Peary will not make his entry into Sydney until tomorrow. The Arctic ship Roosevelt anchored off St. Pauis island today when the explor- CT found he could not reach port be- fore nightfali. This Is about sixty five miles north of sydney.
 Mrs. Peary. her daughter, Marie. ana little Robert F. Peary. undoubt- ediy met the commander tonight, the Peary family having sailed north on the steam yacht Sheelah. owned by James Ross. president of the Domin- ion Coal Company. Mrs. Peary's trip toward St. Paurs Island was entirely unexpected, for 1t had been announced from the deck of the Sheeiah down the bay. The Sheelah, however. kept on her way and when last seen was passing in and heading directly to- ward St. Paufs. The sea was calm tonight and no difficulty would be ex- perienced in putting the explorers wife and children aboard his ship. They may remain all night on the Roosevelt.
 Little Robert had dressed himself in sailor suit and carried an American flag. This is the first time that Mrs. Peary has put to sea to greet her hus- band on all the occasions that she nas been in sydney to welcome him on his return from the Arctic.
 The tug c. M. Winch, gaily decorar- ed with flags. win convey the officiaf welcoming party down the bay at aIi early hour. This party includes the mayor of Sydney Wallace Richard son. the heads of the city departments and other prominent officials. The proposed banquet for the explorer has been held in abeyance until Com mander Peary has communicated his wishes to the mayor.

 Memphis. Tenn. Sept 2o--Fragment- ary reports from points in South ern Louisiana and Mississippi evidence that severe tropical hurricane is sweeping along the Mfssissippi-Louis- lana Gulf Coast tonight. damaging shipping, wrecking the more frail structures. and seriously impeding railrad traffic. New Orleans, apparent Iy the storm center. has been cut of from communication since 4:30 o'clock this afternoon.
 At the office of the Illinois Central Railroad here. announcement was made that Train No. of that road, known as the Chicago fast mail. and due to leave New Orleans at 4:30 o'clock this afternoon, had been detoured over the tracks of the Yazoo, and Mississippi Valley route via Baton Rouge the tracks of the Illinois Central route be- tween New Orleans and Kenner, being under water and many miles of track are washedsaway. The Chicago limited leaving at 7gS0 o'clock tonight. was da- toured over the, same route.
 From Biloxi and Scranton. on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi. meagre re- ports tell of the damage to shipping and buildings along the beach. and. Eo ' far as can be ascertained at this hour there has been one life lost.
 Natchez, Miss, is cut off from com munication by wire. Before communi. cation was lost. the wind had attained a velocity of fifty miles an hour. The power plant was out of commission, putting the city In darkness. A mum. Der of trees were uprooted and several buildings unroofed.
 Along the Texas coast no damage has, so far. been reported. and this section apparently has escaped the fnrNn n( storm fin WaRtaTn Tnlifa- lana, at Crowley and Jennings, consid- erable property damage has resulted The greatest damage is to the rice crop. Two-thirds of the unharvested crop ia believed to have been ruined.
 Although 1t had been raining heav- fly at New Orleans through last night. there were no indications of 8 from a falling barometer, 'till about 9:a0 o'clock this morning. when the Gulf wind, great in its intensity, swept over the city.
 So strong was the force of the wind that the waters of the Mississippi. backed up from the Gulf 100 miles be- low. rose three feet at the New Orleans levee. The neighboiing lakes were agitated till they all overho owed, COW erIng the adjacent lowlands With q large expanse of torrent The Gulf wa ters from Lake Borgne were added t" the volume of the flood, and when the latest dispatches came out of New Or leans there were outlying parts of that city covered with water. while the winds had damaged several buildings

New York, Sept. 20,--"It's good to be an American; 1t seems that l have been gone ten years.'
 Casing towards the lights of New York. after an absence since July 4. 1907. these were the first sentiments expressed tonight by Dr. Frederick A Cook,/ of Brooklyn. as he paced the deck of the steamship Oscar II wait ing for daylight and his actual re- turn to his native land. Dr. Cook is practically at home tonight. for the Oscar II. is anchored on Fire Island. The ship Is marking time. as 1t were. so there may be no hitch in the home coming reception for the explorer. who reported via the Shetland Islands On September l that he had unfuried the American flag at the North Pole on April 2l. 1908.
 Though sixty miles from the city proper. the Oscar II was in easy wire less communication with New York during the day and night. Dr. Cook was on deck almost constantly and as sunset approached. he watched the beautiful panorama and conversed with newspaper men with a brief hail in reply to their greetings through q megaphone.
 T feel anxious to get ashore" he said. but I dread the ordeal of land ing tomorrow. would much prfer landing quickly and quietly without repetition Of the scenes at Copen- hagen. hope that shall be left in peace with my family by tomorrow night at least"
 Some New York papers were brought on board this evening. con- taining long reports concerning Com mander Peary's achievement. Dr. Cook read them carefully. then said:
 There is nothing new here and l shall walt until something moro defi- nite Is published before saying any thing further"
 Aside from this short reference to Peary. pr. Cooks expressions today and tonight chiefly concerned the joy Of his arrival at home. It was a day of varied emotion for the explor- CT and although he is not an emotion

 When about 20 years old. Seth Ward united with the Texas conference, with which he remained connected until he was elected to the Episcopacy in 1906 at Birmingham. He began his itine- rant career as pastor on a country cir cult, but rose gradually in his confer ence until he at length was appointed to a number of the leading charges in 1t.
 After the great flood disaster In Gall weston in 1901. he was selected to take charge of the disorganized and ruined church in that city. It was perhaps. his fidelity and Success in discharging that difficult mission that became the occasion of his election to the position of assistant missionary secretary or the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. in 1902.

and was not recognized during the re-
mainder of the evening and the dis
cussion of the stone matter was has
tily hushed up. The president hasti-
'ly went to other matters and refused
to allow Anthony to give his state
ment during the evening
When seen later in regard to the
matter Mr.. Anatomy declared that
there was something very wrong and
his efforts at attempting to save
money for the people on stone walks
were futile. He said he had gotten but
one load of Fulton stone here since
being on the board and that much
money was saved the property owners
who were willing now to testify as to
his good judgment. That the stone is
better, accor1ing to Mr.. Anthony, is
shown by the results. Mr.. Anthony
declared at least he should have been
given an opportunity to speak con-
cerning the matter.
City Solicitor Boyd was not present
at the meeting and Mr.. Anthony was
helpless in his efforts to make a sta
tement before the board. He says that
he will council an attorney and will
probably enter charges against the re-
mainder of the members of the board
as he is convinced that there is some
thing other than square deal being
given in service board circles.

they were received as securities of q

Last night is was stated semi-offi-
cially that the company had been
holding its own during recent month";
and that the earnings compared fa-
vorably with those OF corresponding
months last season. Several years ago
the company sustained a severe blow
by reason of the failure of the gov
eminent to establish a large military
reservation near Delaware, as congress
proposed to do. At that time the c.,

At Columbus hearing will be held
tomorrow on the petition filed there
by Catrow's attorneys. The outcome
of that hearing does not seem to
worry the company officials any, as
they believe that Judge Young has
jurisdiction in the case and that the
receiver appointed by him cannot be
ousted by a receiver appointed in
Franklin county. At least any re-
ceiver appointed in Franklin county
will not be recognized by the company
and will find the doors of the COM
pany offices barred against him.
