A score of carpenters and ironworkers were ut work ou tho Birders and trusses, thirty to forty feot abovo the pier. When they saw the storm coming they ran for places of safety. Homo started running along the narrow girders toward the supporting columns. In a moment tho storm struck the great iron framework. A bolt of lightning hit the structure noar the middle.

Trie whole frame shivered. Tho wind blew a gale. One of the transverao frames gave way and careened. It cracked and snapped and then plunged downward, carrying he adjoin lug frame with it.

The two derricks on the pier adjoining the innermost frame were snapped in pieces. The ironwork wns twisted and tangled and broken like a structure of wire and lay in a great, confused heap on tho pier. The storm continued, but its fury was spent. When the storm struck tho pier tho workmen were panic stricken. Then thoy were blinded by the terriflo lightning which followed, and the next momont they were carried pff their feet by the gale.

Borne of the men jumped from the roof ot the structure before It fell, and others who were on the pier jumped Into the water as they saw tho mass of iron crashing on them.

The Change Came with a Wild Westers Rnah Mercury Dropped Twenty Degrees In rive Minutes Very Much Dnmnge Done by the Accompanying Storm.

The cold wave-It waa really cold -arrived with wild Western Impetuosity and put a spectacular and somewhat violent end to the summer yesterday aftornoon. The multitude afoot had been In shirt waists without waistcoats elnco sunrise. Under neglige shirts the flimsiest fabrics were worn by men. Many carried tholrcoats on tholr arms, and fanned perspiring faces with straw hats. Tho semi-tropical air was surcharged with moisture noartho point of precipitation.

Everybody moved indolently and said things nhout tho weather prophets. As for the prophets, thoy were chuckling, for they had roporta from tho West and Northwest showing that the coolness was coming with rush and a roar, slambanging everything not anchored In Its path. In the early morning tho temperature at Chicago had fallen to 52. At Buffalo It waa down to 02. Tho climate of Montana and Wyoming waa moving like a cavalcade of cowboys on the sweltering East.

The moisture and the heat had united to wreak destruction on tho enervated workers of this neighborhood. Then a change came over tho southwestern sky. from which the wind had been blowing briskly but not coolly almost since dawn. A leaden mountain of vapor arose, obscuring the sun, which painted gold and allvor fantasies on cloud ridges and peaks. The horizon westward was almost opaque In places at about 3:30 o'clock, when the etorm broke over the city.

Tho wind that preceded nnd accompanied It swept up evaneaccnt ramparts of dust that gave the clouds a yellowish tinge. The prophecy ot thundorstorrn had boon made so often that long-suffering New Yorkers did not believe tho clouds wore the forerunners ot anything except a mild sort of shower. They did not seek shelter until the big. cooling drops fell about them. Then they sought It in a hurry.

The wind cniiie with tho force of a hurricane, driving the rain in slanting lines that woro at times almost horizontal. It was a tine, fierce. old-fashioned thundershower. Some of the gusts made the uir foglike. It wan impossible to see vessels In the East River from tho Brook I vn Bridge; at times the vista on the bridge promenade and roadways waa shut off altoget Iter at a few hundred yards.

In the nlno minutes between 3:32 and 3:41 P. M. the blast got up to 72 miles. The temperature went down like an elevator in a tall building. Tut' Sun's thermometer was nt 02 at 3:40.

Flvo minutes later it registered 72'. The other street thermometers took drops tjuite as chilling. Folks who hadn't waistcoats on buttoned up their other coats. All the boroughs shivered. Local Forecaster Emery closed his lofty windows to keep out the frost.

The wind played havoc with awning and bunting all over town. Tho canvas covering of tho Liberty Island plor was split in several places, and a dozen or more flags living from downtown windows were ripped and frayed as if they had been in service st Santiago. Motormen on bridgo trolleys bound for New York were forced to shut off the power and put on brakes whilo the wind waa making record speed. A skylight was blown from the roof of the tenement at 1(18 Bulge street and struck Lottie rue IT of 102 Pitt streot, who was passing, on the head. Her scalp was cut.

Neighbors helped her home. Nellie Kane of 555 West Eighty-seventh stroet was knocked down by a sign blown from il Columbus avenue. Sho was slightly hurt about tho head. Just beloro tho storm began lambasting things tho official thermometer recorded Ton minutes later the record was 07. This is ono of tho biggest summer tumbles on record.

The storm did not vanish entirely until it had ia lieu nearly all tho moisture out of the air. The sun set In glory that was autumnal, nud an atmosphere hinting ot Ootober. After the shower had passed the wind oame out ot the northwest with a chilliness that made the man who had only natal covering tho night before long for blankets. They may bo needed from now on. because tho prophets declare that the coolness has come to stay.

Agent King of the Gerry society, who brought her there, said that she had formerly lived with her parents at 18ICherry street. She knew him by sight, he said, aud had oome up to him on Tuesday with an envelope upon which the following was written "My stepfathor will break my head, and he slapped me this morning because ha Is a brute. My stepfather put me out of the house this morning about a o'clock. I did not eat nothing all day. "I feel to hungry, and my slater only gave me a piece of bread and butter aud meat.

I do not know where I will go tonight. Mem. it: Folet. The Magistrate conducted her examination by writing short uuestiotis. which the little deaf mute answorod as well as she could.

Her handwriting was fully up to that ot the average 14-year-old schoolgirl. Her spelling was also good, but she seemed unable to construct her sentences properly. She tuid thut her stepfather did not like her because she was deaf und dumb. "I wish him to be sent to the Island for six months. I hate him," wrote the girl.

She Minted further thut a few days ago her mother had to jump from window to escape tho blows of her father. Agent King said that Daniel I)oyle. the girl's stepfather, and Margaret Doyle, her mother, had made application about six mouths ago to have their two daughters, Hannah, years old. also a deaf mute, and Nellie placed In the Catholic Protectory, on the ground that they were wayward and uncontrollable. King anlil lie investigated the easn and found that the two girls were wellbehnveil.

Daniel Dovle was arrested ou Aug. 2. on complaint of his wife, but discharged because she refused to appear against him. Nellie was committed to the cure of the Children's Society until Friday. BEX FRAXKLIX'S BEQUEST.

when a woman In an oiion enrrtogo which was passlngealled out to Mr. Breen. with a smile: Oh, Mr Broon. how is Walter? I'm so anxious to get him home." For moment Mr. Breen looked actually sick, for the woman wns Walter Mannahau's mot her Ho walked over to tho carriage and told hor tho news, and she fainted (load away.

She had understood that her son waa on the road to recovery, and had soon htm only a short tlmo boforc. H. A. Phtnney of Arlington, who oame hero on a pleasure trip and discovering there wero hotter occupations than sightseeing. stayed to help Mr.llreon look after thevnlunteers ot tho Ninth, found a furloughod man of that regiment, Mealy of Company I.

lying on a sand bank neur the railway station at uoou to-day. The man, who wns furloughod front the hospital yesterday afternoon, had so muoh difficulty getting transportation that he gave up, and in despair and weakness lay down to sleep. He spou; the rest of the day and the night there. Friends of the Ninth Massachusetts, representing tho Massachusetts Volunteer Bollor Association, are resolved that thoy shall not undergo the miseries Incidental to getting away which other regiments have suffered. It had been arranged by tho Government that the furloughod men should be taken to New ork and thence to their homes, thus going about 200 miles of unnecessary travel.

The association ha provided a stoamor. the Alert, with room for slxty-tlve passengers, to take tho furloughed men twenty-five miles across tho Sound to Now London, whence they go by train to their home. It Is said that when tho regiment goes, unless the Government provides direct transportation, tho relief association will puy the men's way homo by tho shortest route. Wonl was received In camp to-day that President McKinley has given permission to tho rough riders to parade in New York in response to Mayor Van Wyck's rcriunst. When asked about tho mattor Col.

Boosovelt merely remarked that unless tho mustering out is postponed It will bo Impossible for the regiment to parade with any effect, as they will have neither horses nor arms. Oen. Wheeler in sneaking of it said "There will bo 8.000 hero who could joiu in a cavalry parade, I suppose. It they do parade, it will be on the day when they go through New York to their barracks. I believe in moving cavalry by murohes.

It does tho men and horses good, and tho maroh to New York could bo made comfortably in four days. If the order comes from Washington for parade of Col. Boosevelt's men. I suppose tho mustorlng out will bo postponed and they will keep their horses and equipments for a time." Gen. Wheeler established his new headquarters to-day on the bluff between the group of club cottages and tho life saving station.

Gon. Young will lonve for camp Meade on Friday. His arm is much better and he Is about the camp again. The bone waa not broken, but tho tendon was torn loose. A reporter called on Gen.

Shatter to-day in regard to the statement that Gon. Miles gave out. Has Gen. Miles been intorvlowed said he. Well.

I won't be, not on that subject anyway. I won't say a word about it." In reference to camp affairs Gon. Shatter said: Tho Fifth Army Corps will never return to Cubn. It was organized for a certain purpose. It has accomplished that purpose and now it will be disbanded.

Somo soldiers will bo sent to Cuba, but wo don't know whioh ones yet." Will they be regulars or volunteers?" I believe thoy will bo voluntoers. Six or seven thousnnd men will remain hero In camp.

Sept. 7. The Netherlands League of Song. 000 strong, assembled in tho Dam plats, the great square In front of the palace, at 10:30 o'clock this morning and offered a musical greeting to Queen Wilholralna, whoso coronation took place yosterday. Her Majesty, attired in a green dress, appeared on a balcony, accompanied by the Prince and Princess of Weld, to listen to the singing.

The league first sang the hymn "The Glory of Holland," written by Hoi. It also sang The Hong of the Flag." and concluded with "Wil-helmus van Nassauwon." All heads were bared as tho strains of the national authom were heard. The rendering of the air by the immense and well-trained choir was superb. Tho Queen thanked the singers and said that their greeting had given her groat pleasure. After tho singing the Queen attended a great popular f6to and inaguratod tho simultaneous liberation ot 0.000 pigeons.

The flight of the birds had a pretty effect, and the sound of their whirling wings drowned the acclamations of the people. Later thore was a grand historical procession, in which there woro hree tableaux representing the periods ot William tho Silent, theclosoof the sixteenth century, and the reign of Prince Maurice. Tho accuracy and elaborateness of the costumes wore In accordance with the thoroughness of the whole celebration.

7. Senator 0. K. Davla opened Ihe Bopublloan campaign iu Mltinoaota by a masterly two hours' address delivered to a large and enthusiastic atldlonco In the Lyceum Theatre thla evening, As tho Senator will in tho near future depart from this country to enter upon his dutloa as member of the Commission In Paris, thiols probably the only address ho will ho able to deliver this fall. Begardlng the momentous question now before the American people, the Senator spoke meat candidly, leaving no doubts In the minds of his hoaror as to his attitude on the l'arls Commission.

Tho platform waa occupied by liepublicnn loader from all ports of tho State, who. by their applause, clearly evinced tholr full sympathy with tho speaker' word. The meeting wa called to order soon after o'clock by Judge Boberi Jamleson, who Introduced Mr. W. H.

Grlroihnw, a prominent Be-publlcan. and warm friend of Senator Davis, as Chairman of the evening. The Senator had an ovation which he gracefully acknowledged. After discussing the the Bcpublican administrations of tho State, past and present, and tho work and character of tho ltepnblican candidates. State and Congressional, in a laudatory vela, he considered nt somo length tho advantages of tho Bcpublican policy of protection, and continued To-dny tlio American mnrkets are within the grasp ot American industries, and the American hand In feeding tho American month.

Nor Is this all. for to-day our manufactured products are seeking the markets of the world. The markets of the worn comprise the 1,400,000.000 human beings which tho world contains, and It I in this market that American manufacturers are competing, as the natural result of a wise protection." The Senator dwelt for some time upon tho future possibilities of A morion's trade with tho Orient, referring eapeoially to China and Japan, and declared that the trade of this country with Europe at the present timo was of the slightest consequence compared with what it would be with the Oriental stations within the very near future. Already American Hour and American cotton are being shipped lu large quantities to these countries, and this is but a beginning. Touching on tho money question, he said: "The issues qf two years ago have passed away.

Sixteen to ono Is a thing of the nnst. It was ably and exhaustively argued by Its advocates, but tho Amorican people have settled tho question forever. The American laborer of to-day demands tho host money In tho world because he has earned It. "Tho Klondike and the African minus have given forth their gold nnd the money question may be considered settled forever. On Sept.

1, 1H08. there was In tho United States in gold. This means that we have ceased to bo a debtor nation. The balance ot trado is now in our favor and the money sont to pay what we owed abroad is now being returned to us to equalize the balance of trade," Referring to the great questions now before the Amorican people, regarding Its relations to Spain nnd our newly acquired territory, ho said: This is a period of great development In all lines of economy, manufactures and science, and nations are progressing with equal rapidity. The Republican party sprang into existence striving for the betterment of human life, and this has been its object throughout its history.

"Beccet events have imposed upon tho United States duties which but a short time ago the most prophetic would not have ventured to predict. Who would havo thought a few months ago that we would to-day havo been dealing with Cuba and Porto Blco in tho way wo are now dealing with them, or who would havo supposed or oven dreamed that within twelve days after tho declaration of war was proclaimed the stars of our glorious flag would beset among the constellations of the tropics by tho hand of Dewey. "The war with Spain was long In coming, long striven against, but it was a just war. Just on tho grounds of humanity; just because It was waged to relieve oppression bo near us that the very sight of it oppressed us; just because It was to avenge the murder of 200 gallant seamen In the harbor of Havana. "The result of that war waa the most as-touddlng triumph that the historian of war has recorded.

But the struggle In the East has brought to us the now responsibilities. The groat wall of China, that country, which throughout all history has bought little and sold much, which, from the time of Herodotus, received tho precious metals In an unrotiring stream, has been thrown. To-day Russia. Germany, England and Franco are striving for the commerce und perhaps the imporlaltziitiou of that empire. It wa not distinctly apparent until very recently, how or In what way American commercial Interests and rights could bo subserved in that momentous struggle.

And this change is most momentous. The discovery of America was nothing compared with it lu Its potentiality. "If the eivfllration of Europe is going into the East it is going In there to modify Chinese methods of business und Chinese wants. The genius of tho American people will not permit this country to be Indifferent to the advantages and dangers resulting from the opening ot that groat empire. Wo have too much ut stake In the matter.

Consider our position, with only one ocean between us and the Orient whilo all Enropo lias two I Tho trade will naturally be with us. The figures concerning the exportation of railroad iron from this country to China during the last year are tho llrst utterances of a tale which if It could be told now would sound like the utterance of the veriest raphsodicnl romance. The reoent war has presented to tho American people problems of tho greatest importance, but 1 will say this, that this Government will secure from tho situation In the Orient and In those waters whatever American courage, honor and valer have gained. Wur la a fearful thing, but it has done much for this country lu tho striking benefits I have just referred to. It caused tho American people.

Populist. Democratic, and Bcpublican to array themselves In mighty majesty In support of this Government. It struck down in a day that line running along the Patomao and Ohio Rivers which recently mnde brothers look askance at one another as tho recollection of that bitter strife rose In tholr memory. Tho gray disappeared In the blue as a cloud aftor the departing storm disappears In the unclouded sky, and it never will return." Following the meeting at the Lyceum there was an informal reception at the West Hotel, largely attended by the general public, party lenders und Republican editors of the State, who held a meeting In tho city to-day.

Mr. Dlngley paid the highest tribute to President McKinley for his wise nnd energetic Administration during the past year, and especially during the crisis and war with Spain. Ho said "Though the war Is a great calamity, we have obtained immense benefits from It. The American nation has gained a name and position the world over that she could not have gained otherwise in fifty years.

The cause of humanity has been advanced. The war has brought new responsibilities and we will meet them. I have the greatest faith in tho Anglo-Saxcn race, and tho American nation as a part of it will successfully cope with all responsibilities. The war has drawn tho English-speaking people ot the world closer together. There was never any intention on our part to acquire territory, though results of tho war may chango tho issue." Mr.

In the evening Mr. Dlngley attended the peace jubilee ana reception which tho citizens of Farm-Ington held In Muslo Hall In honor of Lieut. Wlnthrop 8. Wood, Ninth United Btatoa Cavalry.

The Secretary of War this afternoon sent a cable message to the commissary officer In charge ot the relief supplies on board the transport Comal, now lying in Havana harbor, directing him to pay the customs charges on the supplies according to the proposition made by tho Spanish authorities at Havana. Havlngv paid the charges the Government will be permitted to distribute the supplies ro the suffering Cubans in Its own way through its own officers. The question of landing and distributing the supplies has been the subject of negotiations with Gen. Blanco for several days, objections were made by the Havana authorities to the free entry of the supplies nt the port and no concessions could be obtained from Oen. Blanco, not withstanding that the rations carried on the transport Comul were to bo used for humanitarian purposes.

Tho matter has been in charge of Assistant Secretary Meiklo-john of the ar Department and Acting Secretary Moore of tho State Department, but Secretary Alger resolved this afternoon, after consultation with tho President, that the interests of tho relief project required that all auestlons of unjust condition imposed by tha punish authorities should bo waived.

dent of the British Association, delivered tha inaugural address at the annual congress ot that body nt Bristol to-day. Ho re- jPtt! viewed the sources of the preaent and possible wheat supply, and argued that by tha lA most favorable calculation the supply could not keep plaoe with the world's needs beyond the year 1931, but starvation might be averted through the laboratory II the problem of tha fixation of the supply of nitrogen contained la the atmosphere waa solved. I He estimated that fixed nitrogen of the value of 16.000.000 was wasted annually by dump- I ing the sewage of towns Into the ocean, while Us- the store In the atmosphere was unlimited. Tha problem was how to utilise it. If these storea of fixed nitrogen were applied to the soil they VI would raise the average wheat crop per acre from 12.7 to 20 bushels, enabling the supply to meet the demand.

Bir William was of tha opinion that the solution of the problem would be the burning ot the nitrogen In the air by a powerful electric, current. Such a current might be obtained by utilizing Niagara Falls, and the fixed nitrogen thereby produced would cost 5 per ton. Sir William concluded his address by resa IB sorting with much conviction hi known views on psychic, especially telepathic phenomena. declaring that scientific investigation was developing more exact knowledge on these phenomena, and mentioning among others who were throwing light on the darkness WiU Ham James of the United States.
