SAWMILL MEN MEET.
Georgia and Florida Members Of Az
ISOLATION at jacksonville.

Georgia ana FLORIDA members OF A.
ISOLATION at Jacksonville.
One of the most important meetings
which the Georgia and Florida Saw
mill association has held in some
time convened at Jacksonville, with
about forty of the most prominent
sawmill men in Georgia and Florida
present. It was the regular monthly
meeting of the association, and many
important subjects were discussed,
among them the tariff, freight rates,
reciprocity, and labor The last topic
was one of the most important,
1t is said that labor conditions
which now confront the sawmill' men
is very serious proposition, and that
1t is almost impossible to secure
enough labor to operate their various
plants. One of the members of the
association, in discussing this topic,
said that this condition was worse
than it has ever been before, due
largely to the increased farming in
terests, and to the development of the
rural districts in general; that it was
a condition that was almost impossi-
BILE to overcome.
1t was decided to move the Office of
the association to Jacksonville, and
to have the secretary make his head
quarters there. The secretary has
formerly had his Office in Triton, Ga.

Wanted II Realistic.

A certain New York theatrical man
ager is noted for the exquisite beauty
of his stage settings. One day, re-
hearsing a moonlight scene, he found
fault with the moon. First the moon
was too bright, then it was TOO dull.
Now its beams were too yellow and
now they were too pale. Finally
after holding up the rehearsal for
twenty minutes, the manager tore out
in a great rage to arrange the moon
himself. On the stage a pause en-
sued. During the pause the leading
lady said YEARLY to the villain:
"Oh, dear! What are we waiting
for now?'
Nothing much" the villain answer
ed. 1.-THE boss wants a real moon.
and he's gone to fetch it, that's ALL"

VIRGINIA STORM HAS
CT AIMED MANY LIVES
Death and Ruin Left by Electric
Gale.
DEATH LIST TOTALS IS
With CycIonic Fury Storm Strikes Nor
folk and the Surrounding Section
and Causes Great Loss of Life and
Much Damage to Property.

A Norfolk, Va, dispatch says: Con-
servative estimates place the death
list of the victims of Mondays storm
at IL persons.
None of the bodies have been recov-
cred and nothing is known OF the iden-
tity of the missing people, as most OF
them were fishermen from distant
counties along the James.
Sweeping out of the southwest with
cyclonic velocity, the wind, rain, hail
and electrical storm struck the lower
end of the Virginia peninsula.
1t is impossible to even estimate the
number of dead, for many small crafts
with their human freight went down In
the storm at various points along the
James river and in Hampton Roads.
Great havoc was wrought in Norfolk,
houses being unroofed, trees, wires and
telegraph poles being blown down.
Half a dozen vessels moored at piers
broke away and nearly all were dam
aged. At the ship yard the submarine
Seal was struck by schooner and
badly disabled, and the same schooner
rammed a hole in the Old Dominion
liner jamestown. Roofs of shops at
the Newport News Shipbuilding yard
also were torn away, scaffolding
around ships in course of construction
on the stocks were blown down. Part
of the metal covering on the side OF
Chesapeake and Ohio elevator B also
were blown away.
Rough estimates place the property
loss and damage from the storm at up
wards of 100000.
So many live wires fell in the city
that it was necessary to cut off all cleo.
trio current and the entire peninsula,
including Newport News, Hampton and
Phoebus, was in total darkness.

to the Street.
A workman employed on the Bank
ers Trust Company building on the
northwest corner of Wall and Nassau
SITS, New York, fell 81 floors from the
top of the steel frame of the building
to Wall st.
It was Wall streets lunch hour and
the crowd packed the sidewalks, hun
dreds of young women employees of
the many brokerage, law and other Of
fees being out. The fall of the man
was witnessed by hundreds who paus-
ed to look upward at the fast complet-
ing skyscraper. AS the body shot
downward, there was a shout of hor-
ror. Men and women who had been
laughing on their way to lunch stood
palsied with fear. The body whirled
as if from the very clouds and one wit
ness declared that the momentum was
so great that as the workman shot to
his death his head was torn off.
A leg was thrown high in the air
and struck Robert ]. Morris, who was
walking on New street, back of the ex-
change. Another fragment struck a
woman almost half block away.
The unfortunate man is said to have
been a single man named Anderson,
about rs years old

Losses conservatively estimated at
more than 100000 were sustained in
a fire that ragged for hours in manu-

blocks, the terminal railroad yards in
the southwestern part of st. Louis, Mo.
The plants of the Huttig Sash and
Door Company, Fatham & Miller Plan

of the American Bridge Company, and
the Mound City Box Company, were

The fire is believed to have started
in the Huttig plant from spark from
a locomotive.
The tenants of more than fifty flats
and dwellings left their domiciles, car

sions when it was thought their homes
were doomed The exodus was found
later to have been unnecessary, as
veering winds carried the flames in an
other direction.

fill vacancy on the board, resulted in
the election of E. G. Sackett, the regu-
lar nominee, by vote of p to Is, the
latter number being cast for John D..
