WHNJHMLWE 1 Nearly Two Hundred Houses Destroyed In the City of La Paz. MANY KILLED AND WOUNDED Nineteen Craft, Were Beached and a Mexican Cutter Sunk—lron Safe Filled With Silver Money Carried Over a Half Mlle by the Wave—Many Other Mexican Cities Badly Damaged. Guaymas, Mex.,Oct. 11.—In the hur- I rioane which swept over La Paz 184 houses were destroyed, four lives lost and 21 persons were wounded. Nine'teen crafts, including the American schooner Czar partly loaded with dynamite, were beached and a government cutter was sunk. Gardens and orchards were washed away. An iron safe containing 5,500 Mexican dollars was washed over half a ntilo away, but was rescued. At San Jose Del Cablo several houses were damaged and gardens and orchards were destroyed. At Mazatlan many residents were damaged. . The customshouse at Topolobampo waA partly destroyed and the adjoining buildings were beached. Many residences of the American colony were destroyed and the remainder more or less ! damaged. Agiabampo was almost entirely destroyed. The whole country around the rivers Yaqua, Mayo and Fuerte were overflowed and immense j damage done. The sugar refineries at and ' Florida were totally destroyed. The cane fields were all washed'away. TIDAL WAVE AT LA PAZ. Hurricane Causes the Sea to Rise to an Unprecedented Hight. San Francisco, Oct. 11.—Private dispatches received here say that La Paz, Mex., has been completely destroyed by a hurricane. The storm was followed by a tidal wave, the waters in the bay rising to an unprecedented hight, invading that portion of the city fronting {pn the bay and carrying out to sea men, animals and debris of wrecked buildings as the tide subsided. Captain Olsen, owner of the schooner Czar, has received a private dispatch ‘ from Guaymas confirming the story of , a hurricane and tidal wave at La Paz, Lower California. The Czar is at La Paz and is high and dry on the beach. It is feared that she is a total loss. Loiza & Co. of this city, who have extensive interests in Mexico and lower Ualifdfnia, have had no advices from their Guaymas and La Paz agents, and it is understood that the news of the disaster was received at Guaymas from passengers for some steamer plying between Guaymas and La Paz. There is no direct telegraphic communication I with the lower California capital, so news from the scene of the disaster is necessarily slow. The Pacific Coast Steamship company, owners of the -steamer Willamette Valley, have received no advices bearing on the matter of the storm. Their; steamer, the Willamette Valley, was delayed at Guaymas two days By severe weather, but is now On her way north. i Mexicans here have a dispatch about a severe storm which prevailed all along the coast early this week. The loss of life is reported to be heavy, but details of the disaster are meager. WILLIAM HOSEA RELENTS. Besulntinn ContL-iiinlug Governor Meintyre of Colorado Expunged. New York, Oct. 11. — William Hosea Ballou, vice president of the American Human# association, yesterday wrote to John G. Shortall of Chicago, president of the society, asking him to withdraw from its minutes the resolution recently passed at a meeting in Minneapolis censuring Governor Mclntyre of Colorado for “timidity and indifference” in not stopping the bullfights in his state. Governor Mclntyre sept to the society a statement to prove that he exerted his official power so far as he could legally do so to prevent the fights. Another brief, supporting the governor, was also •filed by Lieutenant George L. Byrain, United States army, and which confirms the executive in every point. Governor Mclntyre declares that he had the state militia in readiness to raid the arena, but that the sheriff of the county refused to call upon him for assistance. He stated that he could only use the military arm of the state under the circumstances by a gross usurpation of power, which would render him liable to impeachment.. CROTONOIL IN COFFEE. Twelve Guests of a Birthday Party In a Serious Condition. Toledo, Oct. 11. —Wednesday evening Henry. Moyer, a boy I*7 years old, objected to his sister giving a birthday party at their home, and,in order to discourage any future in the same lino mixed two ounces of crotonoil with the coffee that was" served - to the guests.

The lad Was arrested .and charged with mixing poisonous drinks with food and is held awaiting the v analysis of the city chemist. Young Meyer became imbued with the idea from reading the newspaper accounts of the use of the crotonoil during the Homestead strike. Call For a Convention of Colored Men.

It was colonial day at the Professional Woman’s league and Miss Emma Tuttle Lewis, who is a descendant of the Puritans, in an interesting talk on the sub- ' ject said: “An ancestress of mine, one Judith Hull, was responsible for the name of Point Judith. She was a scold, iu fact a regular shrew, and kept the whole town in which she lived iu a br< il one-third of the time. So it came I to pass that the little peninsula that puts out from Rhode Island and creates such disturbance iu the waters of the sound and proves so trying and often disastrous to the seamen and landsmen alike ■ Was called Point Judith in honor of the human prototype.

Again, on the underground railway a little while ago a man and woman got into the carriage. He was snarling at every one—the guard, the porters, the newspaper boy and a passenger whose foot he kicked getting into the carriage. The woman was a little thin and pale, and I fancy all the passengers were sorry for her and thought she must have a very bad time of it. Presently she spoke to the man. She said, “When shall we reach Richmond?”' He said, “We shall be home inside 40 minutes. ” That was all, but voice, look, manner were absolutely kind and tender. The whole man cfiangedwhen he spoke to his wife. A brute to every one else, he was a lover to her. Lucky woman! Every one would hate her husband but herself and he hated every one but her. What more could she want? As for the other passenI gers I think they went home singing, because they had seen love.—New Budget. Mr. J. K.

CHOLERA SHIP.ARRIVES New 1 York Qnarantine Officers Will Not Take Any Chances, f ... ■ TH* ROUGHLY DISINFECTED. «■ Tw<t Ililnese Sailor. Die From the Dread Di >a«e While la A.latlo Water.—No r Cane* of SlckneM—All the Seamen Gl tn a Bath and Their Effect. SubJe 1 ' ed to Steam Heat. N_ w York, Oct. 11.—The British tea ster. nr Benmohr, which arrived yes■l' ten y from Yokohama, Shanghai, Foo Che r and other Oriental ports, has bee-e detained in quarantine because tw< e Chinese sailors had died of cholera wh_ > the vessel was still in Asiatic wat* rs. The Benmohr, which is a regulate rader.to this port, left Yokohama on • ine 23 and after touching at lliogo onily 3, proceeded to Shanghai. Here she“ remained until Aug. 3, when she left 1 br Foo Chow. On the day of leaving rie of the sailors was reported ill, and m investigation clear symptoms of chc* ira were developed. Captain Clark had, no physician onboard, but treated the ase to the best of ''is audity. The dise >se had too firm a v. Id upon the unfortunate coolie, Im w< ver, W yield to the laptain’s primitive remedies and he diedY that evening. Before he sue-cumtH-d another seaman was stricken dow> .ind. the next, day, Aug. 4, he too died! Both bodies were at once conamitwd to the sea, together with all the effeißs and bedding of the victims. The*- was no more sickness on board the sAeamer. When the steamer arrived at quarantine Captain Clarke reported the facts to the health officer, Dr. Doty, who at once ordered the most vigorous sort of a disinfection to be instituted and the entire crew and their effects were transferred to Swinburne Island, with all the interior fittings of the ship. The crew were treated to a warm bath and all their effects were subjected to a steam heat of 220 degrees, which effectually disposed of all germs. In the meantime the cabin, the floors and fixtures were washed with bichloride of mercury. Late last night the crew were returned abroad the Benmohr. Dr. Doty said it was by no means certain that there were no cholera germs on the ship. Experience had proved that cholera germs retained their vitality for over two years, and consequently he intended that every precaution should be taken to insure absolute immtmitv from possible contagion. The ship, he said, would be held until he was perfectly satisfied that the infectious germs were absolutely stamped out.

He. said he would inform the sheriff at what stage it was his duty to interfere. The j.udge further stated to Mr. Houpt that he had a-right to call the posse commitatus, and that it would be a violation of the law for a citizen sft called upon to refuse to respond. ‘ 2 Must Leave -Texas.

Short Cotton Crop Increasing the Price of Cotton Fabrics—Volume of Bn«4iiie*s For the Year Will Be Unprecedentc r Large—Cooler Weather Stimulate ‘ tl v Demand For Seasonable Goods. New York, Oct. 12.—R. G. Dnn C: Co., in their weekly review of trade today, say: The price barometer gives indications that are not entirely favorable. Cotton goods go up v irli increasing evidence that the crop oi cotton is short. Prices of other manufactured products, of wool, hides and leather, all show some dechii •. a general abatement in new orders be.ng the principal cause. With an immense.volume of business, - not-much-exceeded“n the largest mouth of the exceptional jear of 1892, and with evidence that in several important branches the volume has surpassed that of any previous year, there is a growing uncertainty about the near future of in dustries. Money markets are neither strained nor threatening, foreign exchanges no longer raise apprehension, all fears about the great; northern crops are passed. There have been few advances iu wages of labor within the past month and only a few works have been closed by strikes for mi advance. The production of pigiron Oct. 1 was the largest in the history of the country, 201.414 tons weekly, against 194,029 Sept. 1, 196,000 bins having been tlie highest in 1592. Stocks unsold are not stated,'but substantially the whole production is In execution of past ojiieis. On the other hand, new orders are exceedingly small. . In woolen nkinufactures a demand for dress goods and some specialties keeps ninny fully employed, but most of the works making.woolens for which" new orders are shinty do not find enough to keep them running. '•Failures for the xveek have two banks and several concerns of some size and have been 298 ill the United States, against .231 last year, aud 52 iu Canada, against 43 last year. 1 Good Demand For Drygoods. New York. Oct. 12. —Bradstreet’s says today: Cooler weather has stimulated a seasonable demand for drygoods, millinery and clothing, and jobbers in these lines in all parts of the country feel the improvement. Relatively -,most gain has been made at the south, where an improvement is reported in almost all lines. The unflivorable features are found in the jnodi'rajion with which w’heat is exported from week to week, the reported -weakuess in pigiron and st?®! billets ami. in the competition suffered by domestic woolen manufacturers from abroad. But an examination ,of the conditions indicates that i's reports of,: the size of.the-wheat crop and of wheat stocks carried over-be accepted, the aV- ‘ erage weekly exports from this country, if kept up to the end of the crop year, will exhaust the amount dti wheat available for export. Exports of wheat (flour included as wheat l fr-'m both coasts of the I’ni.ted States t/is wk amount to 2,'-4 I.tW bushels, flfcmpan d with 2.6l3,(H)obushels last wi ek. ;;:rd' -..’117.mid busheis m■ t be. week a year ago.

It is the waste which results from the manufacture of ivory into various articles, and a workshop will accumulate, according to amount of output, from live to six pounds of dust in a week. Tha proper- - tious are one pound of dust to a quart of Water, boiled for eight or ten hours. The product is a clear jelly, which is strained and flavored to taste or diluted for the purpose of soup. But the stock of/elephant ivory is dying out; substitutes me.usejl largely in place of it. There is vegetable ivory, the seed of a ’'■low growing palm .in - ■ South America, each seed about the size of a heirs egg- and various artificial ivories, a coni' 'und of caoutchouc, sulphur and some white, substance, pipe cla.V, gypsum or oxide of zine, or, moru simple still, a mixture of skimmilk and bora:;, which, compressed, forms into a cream colored block, aud may be used iu place of native African ivory, which it closely resembles. ■ Thus even whey the elephant becomes as extinct as the dodo, ivory jelly may ■ ktill kqep up, if not add to, its repot*I tion.—London Letter.
