When the ship reached the movth of the River Culiaca, in the State of Sina- loa, the mining town of Altata, which had stood there on the Orizaba’s last trip, was gone. Not a building was left standing. This was one of the results of the terrible storm which played havoc on the mainland coast of the gulf Sept. 17 and 18. The storm was of a sort of a composite af- fair, taking the nature of a tidal wave and cloudburst. ‘Torrents rushed down from the hills back of Altata and met the tidal wave carried in from the sea and the town was obliterated. Fortu- nately the loss of life was slight and the Altatans are now camping in tents or rudely constructed huts a little back of where the town stcod. So r as Altata is concerned it is no new thing for it to find itself off | the map. ‘This is the third time that town has been swallowed by the sea Twice the place has been rebuilt, cl time at a point further up the riv This time the residents will build well in from the coast, it is said.

FATED DIRM, Mysterious Destruction of Property | of Secklerville, Wis., Men. Black River Falls, Wis., Oct. 20.— There seems to be something a little mysteriou: yout the way property be- longing to J. R. Seckler & Son at Seck- lerville, in this county, destroyed. Early in the spring their creamery, the best in the county, was burned after midnight of Sunday, when there had been no fire in the building since Saturday night. The fire was not dis- covered time to st hing from the building or warehouse. Tuesday night, or, rather, about o'clock Wednesday morning, their large gen- eral store was feund to be in flames. There had been an explosion of the kerosene oil tank, scattering the oil all | over the store, so that it was impossi- | ble to save a thing. This was mys- terious again, as the weather had been so warm that no fire had been It was at first thought that it v due to burg- ‘s, but when cooled off the safe was found to be all right, but the incen- di appearance has not yet been cleared up in any way. This firm is one of the largest and probably does the most busin of any in the coun- in the flouring, cream- farming and stock raising ss on a large scale and employ a large number of men, and there is much indignation felt by the friends of the firm, and should any one be found guilty of the act they would probably get a lesson that would last them the rest of their lives. Riot at a Ball Game, Portsmouth, Ohio, Oct. 20. — A riot | was caused here by the Sunday Ob- servance league attempting to break up a bail game between the Ports- mouth and Chillicothe teams. Con- stables who tried to serve the war- rants were chased off the grounds by a howling meb of spectators, and nar- rowly escaped alivs fhe crowd then surrounded the office of Squire Cole, where the ticket seller, Richard Thorn- ton, was held. They threatened to re- | lease him and the riot alarm was turned in. The police finally dispersed the crowd. Over 150 a sts were nade on the charge of rioting. Catholic Church Consumed. Stevens Point, Wis., Oct. 20. — The church and parsonage belonging to St. Peter’s Polish congregation were | purned to-day. The building was of prick veneer. The buildings were val- ued at $25,000 and were insured for $12,000. Judge Richardson Dying. Washington, Oct. 20.—Chief Justice William A. Richardson, of the court of | claims. is lying at the point of death at his home in this city. He is suffer- ing from & complication of diseases. GEN. LEP SAYS NAY. Spaniards at Havana Called Down by the Consul. Havana, Oct. 18—Another interna- tional incident occurred in the harbor to-day. The police attempted to arrest on board the Ward line steamship Vigilancia a passenger who was on his way from New York to Mexico. The man’s name was Angel Fernandez. He was born in Asturias, Spain, but claimed to be a Mexican citizen. Capt. McIntosh, of the Vigilancia refused ,to deliver up the man, and the police ordered the Vigilancia to be detained. Thereupon Capt. McIntosh consulted with Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, the United States general, and soon alterward the vessel was allowed to sail with Fer- nandez on board to Mexico. Gen. Malonias’ gunboat Contram- aestro while reconnoitering in the Riv- er San Juan, near Trinidad, had a brush with some insurgents and suc- ceeded in capturing over 500 rifics, a quantity of ammunition, a cannon, some medical supplies and some im- portant correspondence. The arms, ammunition, ete., were found in boats marked “The Three Friends,” but it is supposed the supplies belonged to the Dauntless expedition. The firing between the gunboat and the insurg- ents lasted for about five hours. The commander of the gunboat Contram- aestro met the gunboat Ardilla, on which Gen. Molinial was a passenger, near Trinidad, and hearing that there were indications that an expedition had landed in the River San Juan he sent Lieut. Pasquin and thirty men detailed from the two gunboats. The naval force on landing were fired upon by about 300 insurgents, but, protected by the fire of the Ardilla, the sailors captured two large boats believed to have belonged to the Dauntless, con- taining 620 carbines, ammunition and medical stores. At Palma, Province of Sania Clara, the insurgents’ leader, Ricardo Lugo and two of his followers have been killed in a skirmish with the Soria battalion. FIREMEN KILLED. Fatal Fire in a Chemical Ware- house in Montreal. Montreal, Oct. 18. — Three firemen were killed and six badly injured at a stubborn fire to-day at the chemical warehouse of Gilmour & Co. The dead are Edmund LaPorte, Harry King and Silvan Charpentier. The latter’s body is still buried under the tons of debris. Of the injured the only one likely to die is Castian Ben- neit. The fire raged with great fury owing to the combustible nature of the contents. The firemen fought the fire courageously, and after an hour’s work seemed to have had it under con- trol. At this stage the firemen were distributed in all parts of the building and were drowning out the flames when with a terrible crash the second floor gave way and fell to the floor beneath. The men who were on top escaped half-suffocated and bleeding from many wounds, but the men below were crushed under tons of timbers and goods. The loss to property is in the vicinity of $100,000; insurance about half. THE “PASSING BELL” Tolls in England for the Late Arch- Dishop of Canterbury. Canterbury, Eng., Oct. 18. — There was general mourning throughout Great Britain to-day. Passing bells were tolling almost everywhere and memorial services in honor of the late archbishop of Canterbury and primate of all England, the Most Rev. Edward White Benson, D. D., who died sudden- ly in Hawarden church on Sunday last, have been held in hundreds of churches. The lying in state of the remains of the deceased prelate in Canterbury cathedral was watched throughout by the clergy of Canter- bury, the Sisters of St. Peter and the boys of the St. Augustine school. The old cathedra’ looked esis dismal and forbidding. Rain was outside, the atmosphere within the huge edi- fice was heavy and charged with moisture, and even the “amous mar- tyrdom chapel looked dari and frown- ing in spite of the mauy tall, grace- ful lighted tapers within it. Many prominent people attended the burial services. CALL ON M’KINLEY, Lehigh Valley People, Where the Coal Comes From. Canton, Oct. 18.—Congressman Jas. H. Codding, of the Fifteenth district of Pennsylvania, led a ¢ ‘gation of several hundred people from the Le- high Valley to the McKinley home this morning and introduced them as miners, mechanics, business men and other citizens representing that terri- tory. The party was organized in the towns of Bradford, Luzerne, Wyoming and Carbon and adjactnt territory. Their greetings to Maj. McKinley were most cordial and their demonstration was enthusiastic. Tyler and Wetsel counties of West Virginia sent greet- ings to Maj. McKinley with a delega- tion of representative citizens in a special train of twelve coaches. Sis- terville furnished the greater part of the crowd, organized as the Elkins Invincibles, named in honor of Sena- tor Elkins. The party greeted Maj. McKinley with cheers and hurrahs. They were introduced by R. L. Moore and P. A. Shannon. Died for Love. Toronto, Oct. 18.—A. W. Clemens, 25 years of age, of Preston, Ont., sprang over the railing of the Second road- side ravine bridge to-day, dashing down 100 feet and was instantly killed. Clemens left a note on one side of which was a statement that his *come out. name was Austin W. Clemens and on | the other side were these words: “I die for love and entertain no ill will to any one.” Clemens has been under treatment for some time for nervous prostration. Tug Sunk, New York, Oct. 18.—The tug Niagara was run down in the North river off the American line pier by the steam- boat Magenta to-day. The tug went to the bottom three minutes after being struck. The crew jumped into the riv- er and two were drowned. Three were rescued. It could not be learned positively whether there were five or six men on the tug. If there were six then three were lost. Capt. Mortarity, the cook and the engineer were res- cued. John Simms, colored, a cook’s helper, and the fireman were drowned. SAY IT WAS A PLOT KEARNEY AND HAINES, THE AL LEGED DYNAMITERS, RETURN. They Declare That the Bombs Found in Their Room in the Hotel in Amsterdam Were Placed There by Scotland Yard Detectives Aft. er They Had Been Arrested by Amsterdam Police. New York, Oct. 18.—Among the ec- ond cabin passengers who arrived on the steamship Werkendam to-day from Rotterdam were two men whose names were not on the published lists of passengers. Their tickets bore the names of John Williams and Henry Smith, but the men themselves were John F. Kearney and Thomas Haines, respectively, who were arrested on Sept. 13 in Rotterdam for having dynamite bombs in their possession and as being concerned in a conspir- acy against the lives of the ezar and the queen of England. When a rep- resentative of the Associated Press boarded the Werkendam his attention was drawn to two men with a strong Irish accent. These two men denied that they were K-nrney and Haines, but after the steamer had tied up in her dock in Hoboken they tacitly ad- mitted their identity. The representa- tive succeeded in getting statements from the two recently released sus- pects. John F. Kearney said that he had gone some weeks ago to Antwerp and later to Rotterdam to see his wife’s friends on family and business mat- ters. While there he said he met Haines and both recognized each oth- er through their speaking English. They stopped at the same hotel in Rot- terdam, where they arrived on Sept. 11. Haines was then ill and confined to his room on the following day. On Sunday morning, the 13th, about 9 o'clock, while occupying the same room at the Queen’s hotel they were awakened by a rapping at the door. Kearney jumped from his bed and opened the door. As he did so he was confronted by six Dutch police officers and an inspector. The latter told the two men to Consider Themselves Under Arrest. They were surprised and asked what charge there was against them. The inspector informed them that he had orders to arrest them and asked that they would come peaceably to police barracks. They dressed themselves and consented to be handcuffed. They were taken to the barracks and held there without being given any further information until 4 o’clock in the af- ternoon. ‘Then they were served with some sandwiches and coffee at their own expense. On the following Wednesday, after being separated in the meantime, Kearney was br ‘ght before the com- missioner of potice. “From Sunday afternoon until Wednesday,” couiinved Mr. Kearney, “and in fact for the remainder of the time I was confined, I was kept aloof from all the other prisoners and con- tinually under watch of two armed guards. When brought before the commissioner of police and inspector I was infcrmed that I was charged with manufacturing and having in my pos- session dynamite bombs. This I knew to be false, as I had never had possession of these things, and when told that several of them were found underneath the bed in which Haines and I had slept, I almost had a fit when I thought of the danger I had been in. It seemed clear to me that it was simply another of those deep laid plots of the Scotland Yard men who stop at nothing in order to make a case against Irishmen whenever they find it necessary. Those ex- plosives were put there after we were taken out of the room. “A week age las. Sat- day two of- ficers came to my cell and told me to 1 met Haines at the en- trance of the prison and we were both hustled into a carriage. Accom- panied by the officers we were driven to the Netherland pier and put aboard the vessel.” Newspaper Man Dead, West Superior, Wis., Oct. 18.—S. G. Sherburne, an old newspaper man well known in Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapo- lis, Kansas City and other places, died of heart failure here to-day. He was attacked on the street and expired in a few minutes. Sherburne came to La Crosse county, Wis., from New York in 1855 and entered politics, leay- ing it for newspaper work. He was with the Chicago Times under Storey, and afterward with the Kansas City Star, Pioneer Press, St. Paul Globe and Minneapolis papers. He came here in 1893 as managing editor of the Daily Leader, and was engaged in newspaper work up to two weeks ago. He had wealthy relatives and a broth- er at Spirit Lake, Iowa. French Botanist Dead. Paris, Oct. 18—Auguste Trecul, the French botanist, died to-day in a hos- pital in this city-in a condition of poy- erty. Auguste Adolphe Lucien Trecul, meinber of the institute, was born in France in 1818, studied pharmacy at Paris but turned toward the study of botany and published in 1843 several menioirs. These caused to be confided to him a scientific mission to the Unit- ed States by the museum of natural history and by the winister of agricul- ture for research, »specially of certain rocts used by the savage tribes of North America. He wandered with the Osage Indians in 1848 and was in Texas and Mexico the next year. Snow in Wisconsin. Marshfield, Wis., Oct. 18.—The first snow of the scason came down to-day, | It_continued nearly all forenoon. Hayward, Wis., Oct. 17—Two inches of wet snow fell here this morning, Cuban Independence, Chicago, Oct. 18.—A special to the imes-Herald from Washington says: “ff Spain does not end the war in Cuba within three months the insurg- ents will receive from the ited States virtual recognition of their inde- pendence. It can be further stated on authority that the president does not expect that Spain will end the war with the tactics now employed during the present year, and'that he is fully convinced that the grave duty will devolye upon him of taking a vigcrous stand in this matter. TWELVE ARE LOST. The Steamer, Arago is Wrecked on the Pacific Coast. + Marshfield, Or., Oct. ‘fhe steam- er Arago, owned by the Oregon Coal and Navigation company, from Coos bay for Sau Francisco, was carried by the current and driven on the rocks of the jetty at Coos Head to-day. She will be a total loss. In attempting to land a boat load of passengers and crew the boat was capsized. Twelve were drowned, four passengers and eight of the crew, of which the follow- ing is a partial list: E. M. McGraw, Coquill City, passen- ger; John Norman, Marshfield, pas- senger; Richard Walters, Oakland, passenger; M. P. Whittle, San Fran- cisco, fireman; Eric Walla, San Fran- .cisco, fireman; Richard Patterson, San Francisco, steward; A. Ferndndez, chief cook; W. E. Brown, chief engi- neer; J. Kurger and Harry Sanders, sailors. The accident occurred during a heavy fog. What is left of the steamer to be seen is two spars projecting upon the beach. The survivors were brought to Empire City on the tug Columbia. None of the bodies were recovered. JUSTLY INDIGNANT. False Story Sent Out About Miss Caldwell’s Marriage. Paris, Oct. Indignation prevails athong the relatives and friends of the Marquise de Monstriers-Merenville (formerly Miss Mary Gwendolin Cald- well, founder of the divinity college of the Catholic university at Wash- ington) at the false and injurious re- ports circulated in certain newspapers of America yesterday by the United Press that Miss Caldwell was “quiet- ly married a fortnight ago at the Hotel Angleterre in Baden,” and that “the present whereabouts of the pair is unknown.” While the newspapers which have to depend upon this agency were print- ing this false statement, newspapers of the Associated Press had printed English church on the Avenue Hoche, Paris, of Miss Caldwell to the Marquis de Monstiers-Merenville. FAR OFF AS EVER. No Settlement After All in the Mant- toba Schcol War. Winnipeg, Man., Oct. 22. learned that a hitch has occurred in the conference for the settlement of the parochial school question. Premier Laurier and the delegates from Mani- toba had agreed to allow a half hour a day in each school for the teaching of religion by the Roman Catholics, the belief being that this concession would settle the difficulty. It might have settled it as far as the Roman Catho- lies were concerned, but when the Protestant leaders here heard of it they raised a row. Such a concession they declared to be a violation of the mational school principles. So the Manitoba premier, Mr. Greenway, had to withdraw from this agreement, and now, as far as can be learned, no oth- er scheme can be devised and the set- tlement is as far off as ever. MEANT WHAT HE SAID, Clarke Reaffirms His Utterances on the Venezuelan Question. London, Oct. 22.—Sir Edward Clarke, Q.

He says: ‘The speech was deliberately made, | in the belief, which I still entertain, that it will be of public service, and was, of course, made after a full study of all the documents published on the subject.” WILL RevORM, What the Sultan Has Promised M, Nelidoff.

Mr. Morrill is eighty-six years of.age. No Change as to Cuba. Washington, Oct. 22. — It can be stated on good authority that there has been no change in the declared policy } of the governinent with respect to Cuba nor is any contemplated. As is well known, the sympathies of the administration, as individuals, in a large measure are with the insurgents. but if they gain their independence it will be without any intervention, other than amicable, on the part of Mr. | Cleveland.

Gladness Comes \ K Jith a better understanding of the transient nature of the many phys- ical ills, which vanish before proper ef- forts—gentle efforts—pleasant efforts— rightly directed. There is comfort in the knowledge, that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual dis- ease, but simply to a constipated condi- tion of the system, which the pleasant faraily laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt- ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millions of families, andis everywhore esteemed so highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that itis the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness without debilitating the organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get its bene- ficial effects, to note when you pur- chase, that you have the genuine arti- cle, which is manufactured by the Cali- fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by all reputable drugg'sts. If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, laxatives or other remedies are then not needed.
