A SEVERE GALE. , The Coast of Alabama Severely Swept. Mobile (Ala.) special: A southeast pile broke here Thursday'morning and • is blowing at least'fifty miles per hour. The wind has blown the water in from' the gulf until the river has reached Royal street, which is four blocks from the river and at an elevation of about fifteen feet" from mean river height. There is po possible chance of estimating tne money damage. All the wholesale and a great portion of the retail district of the city is some four feet under water and thousands of dollars worth of goods have been damaged. ' The pilot boat, Ida Low, has been driven on the wharf at the foot of St. Francis street. The bay boat, Heroine, was driven on the Mobile & Ohio wharf, and. almost totally wrecked. The Crescent City, another bay boat, left Point Clear at the same time the Heroine did and has not since been heard from. Nothing has been heard from the giardners in the marshes east of the city, and the worst is feared. Telegraphic communication is cut off in almost every direction. In this city houses have been nnroofed, trees blown down and one cotton warehouse succumbed to the fury of the gale. All of the smoke stacks of the manufacturing industries have been blown down. The busiest thoroughfares of the city are being navigated in boats and people are wading up to their armpits in an effort to save goods. It is regarded by all as the worst storm that has ever visited Mobile The southern part of the city presents such a scene ot wreckage, that it looks as if it had been bombarded. The towers on the Court House and Christ Church are tottering. FIREMEN INJURED. Omaha Loses Its Handsome 8250,000 Opera House. The Farnam Street Theater, on the northwest cornerof Fifteenth and Farnam streets, Omaha, was completely * destroyed by fire. The total loss is es i timated at $252,000.

Snow, Lund & Co., druggists on the ground floor, were damaged to the extent of $9,000, the insurance just about covering this amount. The other losses were by the tenants of the building. J. J, Mullen, confectioner, lost a $5,000 stock, insured for $3,600. i Good Work. The Board of Directors of tho World’s Fair has agreed to reduce the price of admission for children from 25 cents to one dime. The new order goes into effect October 10. The board referred to the council of administration a resolution allowing the inmates of charitable institutions free entrance to the fair and giving a free ticket to holders of a single share of stock. It is believed that the council will approve the resolution. Indian Oatbreak at an End. The uprising among the Yuma Indians in Southwestern California has been put down and Miguel, the renegade chief, and several of his followers are under arrest. This puts an end to all trouble on the Yuma reservation. This information was telegraphed to the Interior Department by Indian Agent Estradillo. Flooded by a Hurricane. Dispatches from Paris say that the delta of the Tonkin was entirely flooded by a hie ricane recently which swept away many dwellings. A number of their occupants escaped on rafts but many were drowned. The vicar apostolic has issued an appeal for funds to avert a famine as the crops were ruined by the hurricane. Killed Ilin Man.

Just before the adjournment of the a Chicago Board of Trade the other day, the members wero invited to meet in the call-board room, and soon assem- ‘ bled in large numbers. The occasion was of a gold medal, guitablyjnscriboil to Thomas Barrett, whoso gallantly rushed into the gallery last week and’ disarmed the maniac whose shooting had created such a panic among the members. President Ebunill made he presentation speech, which Mr. Barrett briefly and modtegtly responded. At the same time a burse of S6O was presented to Henry HuAlum, the colored boy who assisted In the capture. The medal is of beau- , ■

titul workmanship, solid gold and ’ adorned with diamonds and suitably ’ inscribed. A PANIC Prevented by F.x.Prc*ldcnt H.rrlvon *t the ) World** Fair. Chicago special: Ex-President Har- , rison playod a heroic part at Indiana’s ) State oolobrat.on at Jackson park. While the exercises at tho State Building were in progress the crowd which had gathered to hear the speakers became unmanageab'e. Those in the rear surged forward, pushing those in front against the speaker's platform and the walls of tho building. Many women screamed, and three who were standing close to tho speakers fainted. A panic was threatened. Then it was that Mr. Harrison showed his courage and coolness. Ho was speaking at the time, but raising his voice so that all in the assemblage could hoar him ho called on the crowd to move back. Then hurrying to tho edge of tho platform he reached over and caught a fainting woman. Governor Matthews came to his aid and the woman was carried inside the building, where she soon revived. At the same time other persons on tho platform were doing their best to relieve the women and to quiet the crowd. Those in the rear were beyond the hearing ’of tho speaker’s voice. Something had to be done, and that quickly.. Mounting a chair the ox-President shouted to tho restless throng that it must be still if -it would prevent serious accident. Executive Commissioner Havens had gone among the people and two other members of' the commission with General Harrison besought tho people to be quiet. To add to the confusion the ambulances, which had been called, came clanging toward the building, but were unable to get near tho prostrate women. During tho latter part of the trouble Gov. Matthews was at the rear of the little platform fanning a woman who had fainted. The crowd was so dense that the sick women could not be removed, and the distinguished persons on the platform assisted them to recover as best they could. READS LIKE A ROMANCE. Senator Turpie'* Brother Retn n« to Delphi* Indiana* as from the Tomb. Delphi (Ind.) special: After being mourned as dead for over thirty-five years, John Turpie, brother of Senator David Turpie, has returned to this city, to find the whole family dead except three brothers, one in Washington, one in Kansas City, and the other, Robert, occupying the old homestead. The story of John Turpie's life reads like a romance. In 1852 he feft homo in company with Robert Dickey. Dickey was taken ill at Hannibal, Mo., and had to return back, but Turpie joined an ox train across the plains, bound fee Salem, Oregon, and drove an ox team all that distance. For forty years he never saw a face from his home, nor heard from any one there. He spent three years hunting and trapping with the Indians and was for awhile a sailor on the Pacific coast. He is now residing at Astoria. He says his brother, the Senator, visited that place four or five years ago, with a number of other Senators, but as he was busy at the time he did ‘mot take the trouble to look Dave up.” Unlike his brother, he is a stalwart Republican. The rise of values in Pacific slope lands has made him a rich man. GROWING SERIOUS. American Interests at Rio Janeiro Most Be Protected. London special: A private dispatch received here from Rio Janeiro by a prominent firm engaged heavily in the Brazilian trade gives the following im- ) portant information. The American , Minister has instructed the Comman- , ner of the United States cruiser , Charleston, to protect American goods , on barges in the bay from , seizure by the revolting squadron. He also telegraphed the Government at Washington Jadvising that the United States i vigorously protest against the further , bombardment of’ Rio Janeiro; that < many non-combatants had been killed ' and much property destroyed by re- ■ peated firing on the city. . The United States Government has ; instructed Minister Thomson to make every possible effort to protect American persons and property, and that all moral force of the Government should j be exerted to prevent further destruc- 1 Hon and bloodshed. DEAD TO RIGHTS. i The Officers Claim to Have Conners and 1 Eva Flint. Toledo special: While the officials of the Lake Shore road are very guarded in their statements concerning the arrest of the man and woman at , Kendallville, Ind., for complicity in the train robbery, at Kessler, says one of them, that there is no question as to the parties being implicated, and that they are in possession.of information which will , lead to the speedy arrest of the other , members of the gang, who are mainly railroad men. The Prosecuting Attorney of Noble County, Ind., states that he is absolutely certain that the woman, Eva Flint, has made frequent trips to Chicago, where she has taken large amounts of currency and specie. Connors remains silent, but the evidence which is being pnt into shape will convict him, whether he weakens or not. Wild Panic In a Synagogue. A false alarm of fire was given recently in the synagogue at Culwayra Rean Sunwalki. The building was crowded with Jews at worship. All started at once for the two exits and despite the shouts of the rabbi that there was no fire, fought to get out. After a struggle of fifteen minutes, two-thirds of the congregation were still in the synagogue. As no fire had appeared they became calmer, and with 1 the aid of the care takers the rabbi 1 eventually restored quiet. Nine dead bodies were found near tho exits and twenty persons lay unconscious and bleeding where they hau been trampled. Fully 100 persons were in- • jured in the rush. Fifteen are suffer- ’ ing from wounds likely to cause death. ! , Ordered to Shoot. 11. B. Ledyard of Detroit, President of the Michigan Central Railroad, gives j further confirmation of tho report that some of their employes had been armed with Winchester rilles. Said he: “The men on tho express cars that run over our road arc armed and wo have just furnishi d guns to our own employes on the train. ] think it is time ’ for our railroad o ricials to adopt some > means of preventing robberies of ex--1 press trains. All of our trains with ' express cars are under the protection 1 Os at least ten armed men. The en- > gineors. firemen, brakemen, baggage- > men, and condu tors each have a Winr Chester loaded with buckshot and thev ’ are instructed to shoot to kill if the 1 trains are attacked.” t Is Communicable. Lansing (Mich. 1 special: Dr. Baker, I Secretary of the State Board of Health, ’ has been making a thorough examinaI tion and study of consumption, and has

d come to the conclusion that it Is a comy municable disease. He accordingly recommended at a meeting of the board that it be placed upon tho list of communicable diseases and treated as n such. Thus the board decreed, and hereafter consumption will be known as a communicable disease. The board ' also determined to rigidly enforce al) its quarantine regulations. ■ They Want Cleveland to Vlult the Fair. 1 Director General Geo. R. Davis ot ’ the World’s Columbian Exposition, is ’ in Washington. While there ho will i call on tho President to pay his ,respects and will incidentally suggest to ' him the propriety of his visiting the ’ World’s Fair at the end of October, ’ and be present at its close as he was at its opening. Colonel Davis thinks that 1 the President and his family should ' see the Exposition in its entirety, and says the Chicago people would be grat- ’ liied to have them come and see its wonders. A formal letter requesting ' th'e President's presence at the close of tho Fair will be sent to him by the Exposition officials at avory early date. Strange Fatalities. West Chester (Penn.) special: A strange fatality has overtaken three brothers, all “well-known men in this county. John Irey. ex-County Commissioner, who lived in Nantmeal, fell into a well sixty feet deep tho other night. He was almost instantly killed. Irey was 78 years old. His brother, Benjamin Irey. Sheriff of 'Chester County was killed by the oars at Frazer a few years since while serving his first summons. His brother Samuel fell in a woods at Nantmeal and broke his neck. Tho latter’s dead body was found after several hours’ search. Stallion* Fight a Duel. Two valuable stallions, owned by Dr. C. L. Thudicum of Haddonfield, N. J., fought a duel recently. They were known to be vicious and had been kept in separate fields. The other day they got into the same field by accident, and at once went at each other. Their hoofs struck terrible blows, and the horses were as effectively as zebras. Finally the more valuable stallion, worth’ $1,900 fell. The other soon trampled over him. Then, to make sure of a finish, the victor seized his rival by the throat and dragged him about the field. Child's Horrible Death. The 3-year-old boy of Mr. William Farris of Georgetown, Ky., met with a horrible death. The child, with his little sister, was playing in an empty ice house. He lighted a match, which ignited the straw and was soon enveloped in flames. His sister escaped and informed the mother, who hurried to the scene, but too late to rescue the unfortunate child, who soon died in great agony. Another Wreck. Mobile (Ala.)special: News just reached here that the north-bound passenger train on the Louisville and Nashville has been ditched between Scranton, Miss., and Bellefontaine. Two or three are reported killed and many injured. A wrecking train and surgeons have been telegraphed for. This is the second attempt made to derail this train at the same place. A Hotel Burned* A disastrous fire occurred at Sullivan, a small place north of Ashland, Ohio. The only hotel in the place was burned to the ground. It was occupied by two families, both of whom lost all their household goods. No cause can be found for the fire, unless set on fire by enemies of Mr. Meyers, the owner. The Floor Gave Way. While the funeral services over the remains of Mrs. Bow were in progress at Kingston, Wis., the floor of the residence gave way, letting 100 persons down into the cellar. Mrs. Van Burg was fatally hurt. Fully one-third of those who were carried down by the collapse were injured. Prof. Brigg - * Daughter.

At least such is the report in religious circles, and Prof Briggs makes no denial. This institution belongs to the Protestant Episcopal faith. A I *swt Monarch. Ex-King Milan of Sprvia, while riding from Monza on a horse belonging to King Humbert, fell, and was supposed to have been seriously injured. It appears, however, that, though the ex-King was shaken, he has not suffered any serious injuries. Priest* Do Army Service. The priests throughout France have been for the first time called to do a month’s service with the army reserves. Their temporary absences from their parishes is being -officially noticed in the church papers.

■ INDIANA AT THE FAIR f s THE HOOSIER STATE’S DAY IN JACKSON PARK. 1 „ 1 Gov. Matthews, Ex-President Harrison, R. W. Thompson and Gen. Wallaoa Toll of ! the Greatness of tho State—Reception, ( Banquet and Fireworks. I * Honor to Hooslerdom. > Indiana Day at the World’s Fair was i marked by a large attendance, ao large, a in fact, that it is feared that some one will have to mark a new State lino between Indiana and Illinois, as so many people ‘crossed the border 1 to bo present at the State’s celebration that the old line is rubbed out entirely OOV. MATTBKW& j n 'flje (, w0 Stated became scrambled, and it will bs some time before all of the Hoosiers ' will got back on our side of the fence. It was a great day for Indiana and a great day for the Fair, Excursion trains from nearly every [ city, town and'hamlet in the State ptiured into Chicago. Indian- ,4apolis, Richmond,. Muncie, Fort Wayne, Logansport, I gif ay- Wk'-UML-,' \ ette, Terre Haute, ' New Albany, Vlncen- ” EfA-X-' A nes, and all other cit- f* C ies sent big delegations. The Eastern haiuwbos. Illinois, the Monon, tho Big Four and Pan Handle Roads, were crowded with special trains. AU Came at Once. Indiana's celebration was all packed into one day. It began early and lasted all through the evening.’ The State building, which occupies a conspicuous site between Illinois and California, had been decorated in attractive style for the occasion. Not to be outdone by anybody else a space was reserved on the porch for the foreign Commissioners, all of whom were invited to participate as special guests. Tho speakers. State Commissioners, and Gov. Matthews with his staff rode to the State building preceded bv the Fort Wayne band. Gov. Claude Matthews presided. The speech-making begun at 11 o’clock in front of the State building, and the people were there addressed by ex-President Harj, '_g s STATE BUILDING. rison, Gen. Lew Wallace, and ex-Secre-tary of the Navy R. W. Thompson. James Whitcomb Riley recited a poem, ' “The Hoosier Nightingales” sang, and the Fort Wayne Band played. Immediately after this program was finished a reception was given the Governor, the speakers and the Governor's staff in the State building. Before the reception was over the Fort Wayne Band began its concert, which lasted from 3 to sp. m. After the reception the Indiana visitors were at liberty to scatter and have a good time. But the festivities did not end with the speechmaking and the reception, nor with the going down of the sun. There was an Indiana illumination of the grounds at night, as well as fireworks in honor of the occasion. These were the most brilliant in features and specialties that have been given. While the basin was a sea of fire acres of burning gems were seen in the heavens. The special set piece was a Chinese pagoda made of 10,000 separate burning bits. Di*tlngul»he<l Hoosier* Present. Whether it beats any record or not, Indiana’s celebration will be memorable because of the distinguishad character of the men who were there to represent the State. No other State can hope to furnish another such company. On the evening previous three travelers arrived in Chicago at the Hotel Ingram on 60th street and waited their turn at the register. They came in modestly, with small valises and overcoats, the same as other World's Fair visitors. B. F. Havens and Clem. Studebaker, World’s Fair Commissioners, met them at the train and gave them an every-day welcome. One of the travelers was a short man with a silvery beard and a du-ty silk hat. This was ex-President Benjamin Harrison. _ A younger man with a smooth, boyish lace, a rather solemn nose and a pair of large, restless eyes peering through nose-glasses, was James Whitcomb Riley. The third was the venerable “Unffie Dick” Thcmpson, ex-Secretary of the Navy. Ho wus n>t as nimble on his feet as the others, but he was fully as good-natured, and just as enthusiastic over the prospects of Indiana day. These three great ions of Indiana took part in the public exercises of the celebration presided over by Gov. Matthews. This made a pregram worth going all the way from Evansville to hear. Scnat >r Daniel W. Voorhees was to have been there, but he could not leave Washington, and his place on the pr' gram was taken by the lowa State Band. Note* of Current Event*. The fishing schooner Fernwood, o» Gloucester, lost two men off Brak Bradley, N. S. .Secretary Gresham, It is said, is to make a trip to California for the benefit of his health.

; SHOOTING ON'CHANGE I CASSIUS BELDEN FIRES AMONG THE BROKERS. Deed of a Lunatic, Who I* Arreeted—Wild f Scone Eu*ue* — Trader* Trample Over Each Other — Grand Trunk Wreck la Bellevue, Mich. Three People Wounded. A man, presumably crazy, created a panic on the Chicago Board of Trade i the other morning, completely clear- , ing the trading floor ana stopping all , business by indulging in a wild fusil- , lade of pistol-shots, aimed first at the ceiling and later at the excited, struggling throng of traders on the floor below him. It happened at about 11:45. Business at that time was progressing as usual. Suddenly the babel of cries from the pits was punctuated by the sharp crack of a pistol. Instantly every one turned toward the south gallery, from which the sound proceeded. A stranger was standing in the gallery with a pistol in his hand. After the first sheMzhe turned his weapon toward the crowd and, in rapid succession, fired four times. One bullet struck Amml T. Bennett in the neck, inflicting a painful and perhaps dangerous wound. Charles Roswell, a telegraph operator, was struck •by another millet. Mr. Bennett, who was wounded bv a shot, was formerly President of the Board .pf Trade Insurance Exchange. Though there were from fifteen to twenty other visitors in the south gallery, no attempt was made by them to overpower the shooter or stop the deadly fusillade, and he was not interfered with until Tom Barrett, , a broker, recovering from the panic which had overtaken the traders, rushed up stairs and grappled with the supposed maniac. A negro named Joe ran up and helped Mr. Barrett overpower tho fellow. When the shooter was subjugated he was hustled into a side room, and for a few moments the wildest excitement prevailed about tho building. It was said that two or three men had been killed and among the rumors tossed about was one that the angry brokers were preparing to storm the room, where the shooter was confined and lynch him. The police soon arrived on the scene, however, and took the man to the Harrison street station. The man who did the shooting gave the name of Cassius Belden, of 390 La Salle avenue, Chicago. DEATH IN A RAILWAY WRECK. Mr. and Mn, H. A. Newland, of Detroit, Killed at Bellevue, Mich. A terrible accident occurred on the Grand Trunk Railroad at Bellevue, Mich. The Erie express ran into the rear of a regular train, demolishing a special car containing Howard G. Meredith and wife, Henry A. Newland and wife (father and mother of Mrs. Meredith), William Costles, porter, and William Abernathy, cook. Mr. and Mrs. Newland were killed outright. Mr. and Mrs. Meredith were badly but not fatally Injured. Costles was fatally hurt. Abernathy escaped unhurt Jennison, fireman of the last train, was badly scalded. The side of the depot was smashed in. As nearly as can be ascertained the accident happened in this way: Toe rugular west-bound train, due at Belleuue at 1:30 a. m., was two hours late. As it lay at the depot the fast Lake Erie train, which does njt stop at the station, came along at tremendous speed. This private car was at the rear of the regular train, and directly in front of it was a sleeper. The Lake Erie engine plowed clear through the rear car, leaving it in two sections on either side of the tra k, and bunted against the Bleeper. The private ca - was almost entirely demolished, while the Lake Erie engine was badly damaged. The occupants of the car were all residents of Detroit and they had left home for Chicago to visit the Woild’s Fair. Blj Counterfeiting Plant Raided. An extensive counterfeiting plant was raided at Livingston, L. 1., and Angelo Delnoco and his alleged wife were arrested. The police secured over H, 000.000 in counterfeit bills.

and many rumors are afl .at as to what will be the final outcome. One of there is that the unconditional repeal of the Sherman law is beaten, ana this, ao* cording to the opinion of many, beyond a doubt. It is likely that a veto will be taken soon, within a week or so at least, but it will be on the passage of a compromise measure. Strong denials are suivanoed in some quarters that a compromise h*B boon agreed on, but in the race of these it is generally understood that the moot powerful influence* are now arrayed in favor of compromise legislaticn. The program, as your correspondent sees it, contemplates the pa sage of a bill through the Senate. The concurrence of the House in that bill is to be had, and then a recess taken for the period of three weeks in order that tariff legislation may ba formulated. The Ways and Means Committee has its bill much further under way than is publicly admitted. If a three weeks’ recess be given it is believed the House itself can be at work on the tariff bill early In December. On reassembling in November some other legislation, probably the bankruptcy bill, is to be taken up until the tariff is ready. If the compromise financial measure be passed oy common consent Federal elections will be permitted to lie over till the regular session. Boutin* Proceeding*.
