Sfhaedle. Tho seating capacity of tin Alhambra is rather extensive, but it was taxed to its utmost a few minutes nftor the doors were thrown opon. Tho principal topic discussed previous to the calling of tho convention was the turndown of E. B. Bartlett for judge of tho court of appeals by the New York delogation.

Jloro than four fifths of tho dolegates opposed his nomination. Tho entrance of Chauncoy .11. Depow with the New York delegation awoke a cheor from many parts of the hall. Frank Hiscock was also applauded as he strode up tho aislo of the convention hall. Tho convention was called to order by Chairman Brookflold of the stato committeo at 12:28 o'clock.

Mr. T. H. Cullman was made temporary chairman and made a speech scoring the Democratic party and Judge Maynard. Aftor tho preliminary organization was completed tne convention took a roccss.

It is Impossible to name the slate since great 12 ow Ho and the Trustees oi IVortb Hempstead Oisatrrec. Tho application of Mathew H. Gregory for permission to erect a dock 400 foet long with bulkhond of 50 feet in Manbasset bay was denied by the town trusteas of tho town of North Hempstead yesterday. Gregory is a buyer of old vessels, which lor several years he bad towed into Manhassat bay and there broken up aad burned for tho iron and other metal. The smoke from the burning vessels was complained of ns a nuisance by tho people living In tho vicinity, and tho baymen also protested against the continuance of the business on the ground that the entrance of tho deep draught vessols into the shallow wators of the bay tore up the bottom and thereby seriously damaged tho oyster and clam industry.

Investigation showed that Grogory had no leaso or other right to the lands under water which ho occupied for his business. He refused to vacate, claiming ownership of adjoining upland property and therefore hnd sole rights to the shore both above and below high water mark. Through their counsel. Charles K. Street, of Huntington, tho trustees brought suit against Grogory in tho supremo court, nnd secured an injuction restraining him from bringing any more vessols in Manbasset bay for the purposed continuing his business.

When making his application for a grant bafore the trustees, Gregory admitted that ho proposed using the dock in his business by running the vessels into it and thoro breaking thorn up and burning them on the bulkhead. The privileges for which the application asked wero largely in exoess in area to that which Gregory enjoyed before the injunction issued, and the trustees, therefore, denied the application. Now Gregory intends carrying the matter to tho courts in the effort to force the trustees into granting his application. COURT OF APPEALS CALENDAR, Albany. N.

October 6 Day calendar, court of appeals for Monday: Nos. 23, 26, 27, 30, 31 32, 33. A PO'KEEPSIE LAWYER Will Be Nominated by the Republicans for Judge. Colonel Robert F. Wilkinson to Be Placed in the Field lor the Succession to Barnard.

Tired of Indorsing Democratic Nominees for Bench Honors. A conference was held in the office of General Stewart L. Woodford, at 18 Wall street yesterday afternoon, at which the question of Judge Barnard's successor was tho only one discussed. Beside Goreral Woodford there wero present Benjamin Estes, Stillman E. Kneeland, Edward H.

Hobbs, Benjamin F. Blair, Bobort D. Benedict, Lorenzo D. Blanchard, David Thornton and Horace Graves, all lawyers residing in Brooklyn. The questions discussed wero: "Shall the He publican convontion indorse the Democratic nominee, and if not whero a representative should be takon from and who he should bo 1 The conclusion arrived at, in the words of one of the conferees, was that "It is a shame to rob all the upper tier of counties in the district of representation on the supreme oourt bench." Ho added: "It is about time that the dictators of the Democratic ring of Kings county bo given to understand that the Kopublioan judiciary conventions will not indorse every man they may name.

As tho court stands now a lawyer from the river counties must come to Brooklyn to have an order signed. The sontiment outside of Kings county is aguinst a Brooklyn man and it is felt that a good Bepublican from the neighborhood of Poughkoepsia can win. It was with singular unanimity that Colonel Robert F. Wilkinson, a lawyer of Poughkeepsie, was selected as tho man who would best represent the district. We have not consulted Colonel Wilkinson and do not know whether ho would accept.

But he is a lawyer well known throughout tho state, a man with a judicial mind and thoroughly capable of holding the court up to the standing of Judge Brown and Judge Cullen. Furthermore, his record as a soldier would stand him in good stead in an eleotion contest. It wns the deslro at first to seleot a Brooklyn man, but recognizing the claim of the district generally, Colonel Wilkinson was selected. If it had been decided to select a Brooklyn lawyer, Colonel A. E.

Lamb would have been the man." FUNERAL OF MRS. DIARY ANN KAYS. ITlaiiy Brooklynites Aitesided the Sorvices in lon, To day. Special to tho Eagle. Newtox, N.

William Engle, 27 years old, of 320 Twenty first street, was kioked by his horse this morning wnile in Eighteenth, near Sth; avenue, and was taken to the iSeneyxhospital, suffering with a compound fracture of the left'Jeav Thonianda Are for an Expedition AsrAinsl the floors. Madrid, October 6 The financial questions attending the dispatch of troops to Meiilla to punish the Moors who a' few days ago attacked tho small Spanish garrison at that placo, have caused the finance ministers "to make a close examination oi the resources available for punitive expedition. Senor Gamazo, the minister of finance to day informed Queen Bsgent Christina that owing to an increase of 40,000,000 pesetas in tho revenue, duo to the new taxation schemes lately put into effect by Benor Garaaso, the treasury has a reservo ot pesetas available lor an expedition into Morocco if the government decides it necessary to send one.

The deepest indignation everywhere prevails at the attempted massacre ot the Meiilla garrison. Patriotic manifestos have been issued in all the principal cities and towns and every day their number is added to. These manifestos call upon all men capable of bearing arms to offer thoir services to tho government. Tho desire for vengeance upon the Moors for the moment overshadows tho excitement caused by tho attempt of Pallas to kill General Martinez de Campos and the discovery of anarchist plots. At Malga, one of the Important military stations, hundreds of men crowd into the barracks and the prefecture, begging that they be enrolled as volunteers to tight the Moors.

Tho soldiers of tho regular army are equally as anxious to be orderod to active service in Morocco. The heroism displayed by the 400 troops forming the Spanish garrison at Meiilla Is universally applauded. Those who know tbb warlike character of the tribes inhabiting the Riff mountains and the fury of thoir easily aroused fanaticism express surprise that the nativ.es did not succeed in taking the citadel by assault by the power of overwhelming numbers. If they had had any artillery, there is hardly a question that the garrison and the male Europeans in the town would have been put to the sword, while the young women would have been taken as slaves by their captors. PALLAS PUT TO DEATH.

The Spanish Anarchist "Was Ex ecuted This Morning. Shot by Six Infantrymen at Pnrcalona He Died With Kis Back to the Firing Party and Displayed No Sign of Fear Crowds of People Saw Him Die. BsntcELOXA, October 6 Pallas, the anarchist who attempted to assassinate General Martinez de Campos and who was condemned by a court martial to be shot with his back to the firing party, was executed at 9 o'clook this morning. The execution ground back of tho fortress or Montjuieh was surrounded by troops. Imme diately crowds of people gathered in tho vlpin ity, but they were not allowed to pass the military lines.

There was no disturbance whatever. The condemned man was taken by a military escort from the chaoel in which his last hours had been spent, and marched to the place of execution. Pauas was porleotly cool and sell possessed nnd did not display a sign of fear. There was no delay, every detail of the execution being earned out with military Eromptness. Arrived at the plaee where was to meet his death.

Pallas was placed with his face to the blank wall of the fortress and his baclc to the stx lniantrymen composing the firing party. Tho sergeant in command of the firing party at once gave the word to fire and Pallas fell dead. At no time since his arrest had Pallas showed any signs of Inching, and he met his death as bravely as it is possible for any man to do. GATES SHOT BABX And Blflhcbourue Is Quite Indignant Abont It. Baby Nell was a handsome, well bred Irish setter, with an excellent pedigree.

She was as well known in Blythebourne as any one of the residents and a general favorite with everybody on account of her. remarkably gentle dis position. Her owner, Mr. B. B.

Fithian, said to an Eaglb reporter this afternoon: "Baby Nell is dead. Her destruction was the most heartless and outrageous affair that could be imagined. She was shot by Frank A. Gates. Although sho was the most gentle animal in tne world I always chained her up at night Last night she pulled' the staple out of tne kennel and broke away with the chain.

Gates shot her early this morning out in the street, about ono hundred and flity feet distant from his placo. no then dragged hor away and buried her with her oollar on. I did not hear of it until after he had left for New York or he would have had to deal with me personally. I dug up the animal and removed the collar. I shall prosecuto Gates to the fullest extedt of the law." The general sympathy of the people is with Mr.

Fithian. Gates is superintedent of the Edgewood Reformed churoh, an active Christian endeavor man, a leader of churoh prayer meetings and Sunday school teacher. When questioned by the Eagle reporter he claimed that he did not know the dog belonged to Mr. Fithian, but he would not say why he did the shooting. EMMA GOLDMAN OS THE STAND.

The Blew York Anarchist Explains Her Peculiar Views. Emma Goldman was the first witness called to day at her trialhvPart II of the court of general sessions, New York. She was cool and collected and explained her peculiar views in answer to questions put by counsel. Questioned by Mr. Hall, wiiness said she had heard none of the exclamations from the crowd which tho detectives had testified to.

She had Bpokon in English at the Union Bquaro meeting, sho said, from notes. These notes she had elaborated afterward for the purpose of having thorn published. Cross examined by the assistant district attorney Miss Goldman said she did not beliove in a Supreme Being; that she was 25 years old and was born in Russia. She said that she was a married woman, but refused to tell tho name of her husband. She did not think it was neo essary to make the name public.

She separated from her husband five years ago. She had never.lived with Bergman. "Bergman is the man who shot Frick," said Mr. Mclntyre. 'I know that," was the answer.

She was on anarchist, she said, and believed only in moral laws. Witness satd. she knew John Most and thought him a great agitator and writer. She said she did not believe in the moral views of Most. THE WEATHER.

When Her Husband Ban Away He Was Chased by a Crowd He Was Stopped by a Taker and the Whipping Wns Resumed The Names or None of the Parties Ascertained. Seigel street, between Graham avenue and Humboldt street, is in the center of the district known as Little Germany. A man and a woman were talking on that thoroughlore lost night The woman was a blonde and quite pretty. They talked for a moment and then another woman appeared. After satisfying herself of the identity of the man she drew forth a whip and proceeded to lay it across the shoulders ot the man.

At first she made a cut at the other woman, but her companion shielded her and receivod the blow himself. The blonde then started to run away and tho man was going to follow her, when an older woman, who Bad accompanied the one with tho whip, grabbed him and held him while the young one plied the cowhide. The man Anally broke awav and ran down Soigel street with tho two women after him, both shouting "Stop thief" at the top of their voices. A crowd joined in tho chase and when the fugitive reached Zise's bakery, only half a block away, and directly opposite the quarters of Truck No. 8 of the flro department, one of the baker's grabbed him and in a second or so the women had caught 'up and the younger one proceeded to renew the thrashing.

Tho man howled for mercy and again broke away. Ho started down Seigel street again with the two women after him. The crowd did not interfere again, and the women soon returned from their unsuccessful chase. They explained to the bystanders that the man was the husband of the younger of the two, and that the older one was her mother. The man had been flirting with the pretty blonde for some timo.

and they determined to stop it. They refused to give their names to a policeman who happened along. Nothing has since been seen of any of them. SPECIAL AlVvE'SXlSEMEHTTS.

They are accommodated lor the most part at the Yatee Houso, Globo hotel and the Vandor bllt house, although Jacob Worth, who leads the delegation, has taken quarters that aro commodious and comfortable at the Hotel Mowry, a good walk from the bubbling caldron of hotel corridor excitement.

Iteinhanlt, Charies Small, William H. Quinn and Joseph B. Ciark. Many of the delogates saw Syraeuso for tho time to day. Jacob Worth hai not been here since tho memorable convention of 1872.

Shortly before tho moetin of the state committee last night tho Kings county men opened a headquarters in Hoora 3G oi the Yates nouse. To the right and left wore candidates' quarters, notably thoss of Addison B. Colvin oi Warren county, who wants to bo state treasurer, and directly opposite, doing a brisk business all Sight, was the headquarters of the state committee. The presence ot Arnold H. Wagner, Nathan's henchman in the Twenty third ward, in the corridors of the Yates house created considerable comment, but when it became known that he held the proxy of Jomos W.

Birkett in the state committee the comment stretched to the proportions of a howl. Dr. Coombs of the Twenty third ward would not explain it. although Birkett is a member of the reorganized party. His political friendship with Nathan is by no means a back number and the ex eenator's act in tho present instance will go far to locate him politically in tho future.

Wagner, when asked about his proxy, said it had been referred back to Mr. Nathan, who in turn referred it to Supervisor Lockwood, who referred it to him. This is the routine by which Wagner was permitted to sit in tho state committee. "Why Birkett referred the proxy to Nathan is Interesting. The delogates hero do not hesitate to solvo it.

Wagner confessed that, although a state committeeman pro tern. he was not enrolled under the new pnrty system. Birkett for a couple years has been a candidate for senator in the third district. His chances of getting the nomination this fall were believed to be good. Nathan promised it to him When he thought he held tho delogates in the convention.

Birkett sought It also at the hands of Jacob Worth. He has been turned down and the reference of the proxy to Nathan is explained on this score and no other. Owing to a meeting of the general committoo last night Chairman Buttling could not get here. His plaee on tho state committee was filled by Dr. Coombs.

Tho other committeemen were present, including Charles M. Newlns and Bobert M. Johnson. Jacob Worth sat for the remaining member, William J. Taylor.

The committee met at 8:30 last night and decided to call the convention at noon In tho Alhambra. Patrick AY. Cullinan, an ex assemblyman of Oswego and an able lawyer, was decided on for temporary chairman, after William Brookfleld, chairman of tho state committee, calls the convention to order. A recess will then be taken, during which time the details for permanent organization will be completed. Brookfleld will in all probability be re elected chairman of the committee, Bach state committeeman has the suggesting of an appointment on tho committees, such as credentials and resolutions.

It was thought that Wagner would put his Band in on Worth In this respeci. and it is very likely. Worth is waiting and Wagner is not "talking. There is something remarkable in his silenoe. Brooklyn will have some changes her representation on state committee.

At present Buttling represents the second district and is holding office only temporarily. Denis M. Hurley, leader of the Sixth ward, is a candidate and may get it. He is not a Worth man, but personally the Worth people like him. Henry Smith of the Twenty second ward, will be put in Birkett's place.

This is the programme this morning. Charles I. Newlns will succeed himself and William Booth will go in place of Taylor. Booth is a Twenty eighth ward man and very popular with his associates. Robert M.

Johnson of the Fifteenth ward, the other committeeman, wants to go back. He says he has tho votes, but he probably did not guess right. Ho opposed reorganization and is not popular, hence the belief is Worth will retire him. Wallace wa3 not in the race for attorney general this morning. John Woodward's boom grew so big that it swallowed the ex congressman.

Worth said last night that Kings county would not present a name for the state ticket unless invited. It looks as if Wallace will have to aspire elsewhere. To day the following nominations are assured: Secretary of state, Captain John l'almer of Albany county; state treasurer, Addison B. Colvin of Warren, and attorney general, John Woodward of Chautauqua. Bartlett may be tnrned down for judge of the court of appeals.

HiB'Stock was quoted at a low figure this morning. Judge Irvine G. Vann of Syracuse is on many tongues. Campbell W. Adams of Oneida may be the nominee for state engineer and John B.

Weber of Erie for controller. Jesse Johnson will be a delegate at large to the constitutional convention. His name was canvassed last night among the delegates and found to be satisfactory. Late last night Mr. Worth decided to present him.

In the resolutions to be presented to tho convention sorrow will bo expressed by the state committee at the demise of William H. Beard, the state committeeman of the Second district, who died during the past year. he Brooklyn representatives on the next state committee were oboson this morning as follows: Second district, Denis W. Hurley; Third district, W. Goodrich; Fourth district, Charles M.

Newlns; Fifth district, William Booth, and Sixth district, Charlos Small. Connected with the election of Goodrich is an interesting storv. Before the delegates of the Third district met, Thomas C. Piatt, who has been secluded like a monk in his room 4 in the Yates bouse, sent for Jacob Worth and requested that Mr. Goodrich be made a member of the state committee.

Worth was by no means pleased with tho reqnest, but decided to payreipect to the wishes of the Tioga statesman. Mr. Goodrich was shortly attor summoned to Mr. Piatt's room and later made his appearance at the headquarters of the Kings county delegation, where he met Worth, with a very expansive smile. He tapped the eleotion commissioner's shoulder gently, asking at the same timo a few minutes' interview.

Worth wore a sullen countonance. He aooompanied Goodrich to the hall and listened to what the latter had to say. Then ho grew angry amd for a little while the atmosphere was considerably agitated. Ho told Goodrich that he had no use for a man who was always backsliding. Mr.

Goodrich protested that he had always been fair and open in his treatment of Worth and tho latter's friends. The conversation that followed was conducted In a Bubduod tone, but it concerned altogether the prospective nomination of Franois H. Wilson for mayor. Goodrich is said to have rather depreciated the candidacy of Wilson, and thereby to have encountered Worth's disploasure. Before the interview endod the oleetions commissioner made it very plain to Goodrich that his going on the state committee was in oom pliance with the request of Piatt rather than any political merit or popularity ho possessed.

Goodrich later fell into conversation with Gen oral Woodford and smiled almost without cessation until the time for the procession to tho convention halL The officers selcctod for the convention, sb.vfar as Kings county is concerned, were chosen by the delegations to day us follows: Seoond district Vice president, S. Y. White; secretary, Oaoree H. Boberts; committee on resolutions, Morrison; perma organization, Umoilii C. Cronln; creden gf 1, John H.

Burtia, Third district Vice presi As the Republican Candidate for the Mayoralty. MS NAME IS BEING SERIOUSLY DISCDSSED. There Seems to lie Little Doubt That He Wonld Accept the lienor If Tendered It by the Convention, Though lie Does Kot Specifically Eny So Wallace Declares That He Uoon't Want the Attorney Generalship, Ipt Woodford Uns Gone to Syracuse in His Interests. General Woodford left for Syracuse last night, presumably to look after the interest of his partner, ex Congressman Wallace, In the race for the nomination, for attorney general. Mr.

Wallace, in reply to tho query as to whether ho wns a candidato for the nomination as attorney general, said: "I am not a candidato for any office and I only ask to bo let alone in the pursuit of my profession." "What do you think pf tho mayoralty situation?" "I think everything will work itself out to the satisfaction of the Iiepublicans of Brooklyn. I don't see how under tho present method of conducting tho Kepublicaa primaries any one can predict what tho convontion will do. I will be lor the Bepublican candidate, whoever he may bo." The Eagle roportor gathered from tho conversation of several Ucpuljlieaus that tho name of Charles A. Schieren would be the strongest beforo the city convention, and that Francis H. Wilson would, if given a reasonable chance to do so, withdraw his name from tho consideration of his friends.

Coming from tho parties it did this was a iittie more than mere talk, and a visit was paid to Mr. Schieron's ofllco. where, in response to the question if he would accept a nomination from the city convention, ho said: 'Tho mayoralty question is a very important one and particularly important to Brooklyn at this time. At first I regarded the question as to myself as a pleasant kindness on the part of my friends. It has, however, become a more serious matter.

I am not a politician and am not a candidate. The ofllce must at this peculiar time bb llllod by a man who is not in tho hands of his friends, but by a man who is in his own hands, and who can stay thoro. It is a serious matter, and I consider tho duties ot tho office a severe task. I woxild not liko to be placed in such a position whero I would bo compelled to accpt the nomination."

Arguments Before the New York Supreme Court ON TOE REPORT OP THE COMMISSIONERS. Mr. Lnnterbach, Counsel for the Bridge Company Controlled by the Brooklyn Elevated Road, Asks That the Document Cc Confirmed. Lawyers Representing Various New York Property Owners Object Because So Many Yaluablc Buildings Will Be Condemned. Counsel for the East River Bridge company argued this morning before tho general torm of tho supreme court, New York, for a confirmation of the findings ot the commission appointed to hear the protest of property owners whose property would havo to bo condemned.

Tho commission reported in favor of the East river bridge people, but when their decision' came up for confirmation last Monday the dissenting proporty owners socured an adjournment until to day. Mr. Lautorbach, counsel for the Bridge company, at 10:30 began his argument. He pointed out tho imperative necessity for the bridge. He said both municipalities wero in favor of it, although certain politicians, interested In othor means of transit between tho sister cities, had endeavored to retard the progress of the bill.

Ho dwelt on the inability of the steam ferries and tho present bridge to handle the rapidly growing volume of traffic. He said the mayor of Brooklyn was heartily In favor of the proposed bridge. He referred to the approaches, the details of which have bean published from time to time. He said tho great difficulty of the Brooklyn bridge was that it had only one terminus and a congestion of traffic followed. There will be eight depots in Now YorK.

situated at different centers of travol, whloh will be connected with the New York end by elevated railways. If the bridge was proper tho approaches wero proper, despite tho protests of individual property owners. The right of the public took precedence. The bridge was destined to carry railway tracks which would place the center of one municipality within a few moments of the other. He said the laws enacted to prevont the gridironing of the streets with railways did not apply to the approaches.

Then he made a bitter attack on the rapid trantit commissioners of New York. He spoke of their fruitless labors nnd said they would put a quietus on the approaches if the matter was referred to them. He said the legislature specially provided that the rapid transit commission should have no jurisdiction ovor the termini of bridges. The contention of tho opposition that it was unlawful to lay tracks on the approaches was false, as the law gave the brldgo that privilege. Perhaps tho greatest benefit which would accrue from the bridge would be the single fare for tho approaches and the bridge proper.

Now it cost 18 cents to travel over the elevated railways and bridge. Without tho approaches the bridge would end abruptly in the air. Mayor Boody, he said, had testified before the commission that the bridge was essential because, if tho present structure was rendered useless by some unforseen accident, the ferries could not handle the extra burden thrown on them. "The objections pointed out by tho engineers Of the Manhattan Elevated railway had been proven to be a chimera," Mr. Lautorbach continued.

"The financial status was excellent. Men like President Uhlinan of the Union Elevated road, Mr. Shafer and Mr. Rupert were interested in the project. It had been capitalized at 83.000,000, which was subseauently reduced to $2,000,000.

Ten per cent, had aotually been paid in and 855,000 was now in the treasury outside of what had beon expended In expenses already incurred. Capital would oome forward when all objections were removed and tho work would be rapidly pushed to completion." Judge Tan Brunt reminded Mr. Lauterbaoh that his time had expired. Counsel Fordham Morris, for the property owners, arose, and in addressing the oourt, aald: "Because you appointed the commission it does not necessarily follow yon should dictate their findings. You should not aot as appellate judge.

You should act as local judiciary. It rests with you whether the Bridge company shall bo granted the franchise. Why should New York be gridironed for the beneflt of Brooklyn? Why should our strength be sapped for another oity? Here our population belongs not in Brooklyn. I say New York for New Yorkers and Brooklyn for Brooklynites. He pointed out the almost unlimited power aiven the bridge company.

It could sell itself to a grasping monopoly. The Manhattan Elevated railway might buy it out. He said it violated sections 16, 17. 18 of article III of the stat constitution. John A.

Deering, counsel for several property owners on Spring stroet, then made a motion to deny tho right to build tho approaches, as it had not been shown that they would be only used for that purpose. Tho engineer of the bridge had Informed him that the bridge might not be built for six years and the approaches might be used 03 olevated roads. He said it was premature to build the' approaches. Clarence C. Ferris, counsel for property owners on South stroet.

said the bridge would drain New York city, and quoted statistics in defense of his argument. Since the opening of the Brooklyn bridge 200,000 persons who would have settled in New York have gone to Brooklyn. George G. DeWitt, "counsel for property owners, said 87,000,000 worth of property would have to be condemned. Woodbury G.

Lang don, counsel for property owners, said 20.000 persons would want to move, causing great inconvenience. The court took the papers and reserved decision. THE Y. M. C.

This marsh extends from Lake Borgogne to tho gulf. It is a dead lovel with the ocean, more water than land, covering 1,200 square miles.

Its only inhabitants were some two hundred flshermon who lived in cabins built on plies. Not a word has been hoard from there since the storm nor has one of the Inhabitants como to town or to any neighboring settlement. As it is near the Chandeleur islands, where the tornado was so violent that none are siid to have escaped, the ohances of the fishermen surviving tho hurricane are considered very doubtful, and a boat was sent there to day to see if any survivors remained. Loud complaints como from the Bayou Cook seotion of the odor from tho dead bodies there. The land is too low for buryiag.

Already some one hundred and twenty six bodies have boon conveyed by boat to the highlands on the Mississippi at Frismal Bend for burial, but many are unburied in the swamps and are rapidly decomposing. Many of the bodies were found to have been lootod and robbed. Most of the fishermen were well to do and all carried their fortunes in cash in their pookets. No money has been found on their remains and from S5.000 to $10,000 has disappeared. Nearly all the bodies were badly mutilated by the storm.

It will be months before the gulf fisheries will revive. Half the population and nine tenths of the vessels engagod in thorn are lost, and oysters and Ilsh nre an unknown quantity in New Orleans to day. The crop damage is great. The orange crop will lose only 50 per cent, but the destruction of orohards will be very great. A dozen luggers reached the city to day from Grand Islo anil othor portions of tho storm section and there are now some 800 refugees being cared for here.

They are naked and in a bruised condition. One man, named George OvlehH, had actually been flayed alive. He did not havo a piece of skin on him the sizo ef a dime, tho blows from the debris having flayed him. He was sent to the hospital and is not" expected to live.
