Wireless Message Received al
New Orleans Says Water

New Orleans, La, Aug. H.
That Galveston suffered severe
ly from the West Indian hurri-
cane which yesterday and last
night sent a huge volume OF
water from the Gulf into the
city and was today confronted
by the new peril of fire, was the
gist of a brief wireless message
received here today from the
stricken city. While the dis
patch was brief, enough was
given to indicate that several
fires had broken out in differ
ent parts of the city and that
they had not been brought un-
der control at the time the mes
sage was sent. 1t was learned
in a subsequent wireless that
one of the fires was in the
Grand Hotel, a new hostelry,
but the location and extent of
the other fires was not given
out. News, coming from various
sources, was as follows:
Five lives had been lost in
Galveston as far as known.
The property damage there
will be at least 81 100000.
The water was five feet deep
in the streets of the city.
A section of the causeway,
connecting the city with the
mainland, was carried away, pre-
sumably by the battering of big
ships against it.

CANNON MEVAToRS
INCREASE CAPACITY
Butler Plant Remodeled, New
Elevators ct Foster and
Passaic.

Passaic.
The Cannon Elevator plant in
this city is just completing i'm.
prepements which will increase
the storage capacity Of the Gle
vator to $1,000 bushels of grain,
and the handling capacity to be
tween 1000 and $500 bushels per
hour.
Three new grain bins with a
capacity of 1000 bushels have
been constructed over the main
driveway at the west side Of the
elevator building, providing
over head storage for seed and
grain for local consumption.
These bins are provided with
automatic dumps whereby it is
possible to load direct from
either into wagons or the drive
way.
New shelters and cleaners of
the most improved type have
been installed, the largest being
a Western Gyrating Cleaner in
the attic. New features which
greatly facilitate. the cleaning Of
grain are incorporated in its
construction. This machine has
a capacity of 1000 bushels per
hour.
A new car shed has been built
over the spur at the east en-
trance to the elevator and an
other leg for loading and unload
ing cars has been installed, en-
abling the hauling Of two differ
ent kinds of grain at the same
time. In test of this equip
ment 1000 bushels of corn was
unloaded from a car and shelled
cleaned and reloaded in less
than two hours.
"A load of grain delivered to
the Cannon Elevator is first
dumped into the large, concrete
dumps in the basement. From
there it is hoisted into the attic
one hundred feet above where
it is thoroughly cleaned and run
into the mammoth hopper below.
From there it is transferred to
any one of the fifteen large stor-
age bins according to kind and
grade. The grain contained in
the hopper may at any time be
weighed from the main floor by
clever arrangement of the great
scales
A new dust bin has been built
on the west side Of the building
into which all chaff and refuse
from the, grain is carried. AT
intervals this bin is cleaned and
the damaged grain, which has
been carried into it salvaged.
New coal bins have been erect
ed north of the elevator with a
capacity of IA ears of coal and
the management contemplates
the construction of several iron
houses for the storage of high |
grade coal.
New elevators, modern in ev-
cry respect and each having a
capacity of 10000 bushels, have
been built at Passaic and Foster.
"A warehouse is maintained at

Asks Receiver for the Missouri
Pacific and Iron Mountain.

Declaring that the financial
condition of the Missouri Pacif-
ic and st. Louis, Iron Mountain
& Southern Railroads is such
that the interests of the public
and that of creditors can only
be conserved by recourse to the
courts, the Commonwealth Steel
Company of St. Louis Monday
filed what is obviously friend
ly petition to the United States
Court to have receiver for the
system appointed.
Owing to the vastly compli-
Gated intermingling of the af-
fairs of the two roads, which
constitute one system, two sep
arate petitions were filed, which
are identical, save as to certain
items of Indebtedness, and az
the bill against the Iron Noun
tain relates to the Trans Missis-
sippi Terminal properties at
New Orleans.
The Commonwealth Steel
Company contends the defend
ants are indebted to it in the to-
tai sum Of $2O0,611.O4, Of which
the Missouri Pacific owes $145,-
276.4 and the Iron Mountain
Isl, 1886, representing the pur-
chase price of rolling stock, ma
tsriaj and supplies, which is
past due and which the roads
refused to pay.
Officials Of the carriers last
might seemed surprised at the
filing of the suit. They said
they were not acquainted with
the particulars Of the petition,
and until they had studied it
could not state what aaction
would Be taken by the company.
