I'onca, Oklahoma, Oct. 13. A few
Uvh before the memorable Kith of bep-
einber, announcement was made
'unuigh the press that Miss Annette
biixy was leading a colony of spinsters
Md widows into the Cherokee strip for
(he purpose of establishing a woman s
wttlement. Miss Daisy is a Kentucky
iumi w ho bus taken part in all the
runs by which land have been settled
in the territory. This time it wus stated
timt she intended to found a community
'rum which men will be excluded. Of
l' tame mind and intentions were
nearly 40 women, who had accepted
Mist lMjHy as a leader. During the rush
"'id the exeitemunt following the open-
'g. tlieso women, who had been wait
ing near Arkansas City, were lost sight
"f- It has since been learned that they
were partially successful. They secured
possession of three quarter-sections of
good lund or 480 acres, a few miles west
of this place, on which they hud begun
permanent improvements. Alfred Van
(lerpool, who is doing missionary work
in the strip, and who has just completed
n overland trip from Enid to Ponca, re
Ports that he found 22 of the Daisy
colony settled on the throe quarter-sections,
where they already have two small
houses and four tents. Tlmy have en
deavored to buy out the man who se
cured the off quarter of the section on
which they are located, but so far have
been unsuccessful. He evidently is too
well pleased with his neighbors.
A Juke That Was No Jake.
Nkwport Nkwh, Va., Oct. 13. Miss
Elizabeth Clark, who was selected to
represent Virginia at the Confederate
reunion at Birmingham, Ala., and Dr.
Taylor, Vho resides on Hampton Honda,
this city, were unwittingly married by
Justice of the Peace Hnskins at a social
Kathhring nt the Taylor cottage. The
affair was looked upon as a mere inci
dent, when the couple were going to in
itiate the new justice into the perform
ance of fake marriage, but toduy it
was learned that it was in all resjiects a
perfectly valid one under the law. The
situation is further complicated by the
fact, aal!eged, that Miss Clark is en
gaged to be married to another, and
that afluir will have to be postponed un
til after she can be divorced from Dr.
Taylor.

The Quorum in the Senate Ha, Baaa
Broken.
Washington, Oct. 13. In the senate
this morning at 1 :40 o'clock the quorum
was broken by the refusal of certain
silver democrats to vote. Voorhees rose
and said he felt he felt he had done his
duty in the matter, and moved an ad
journment. The motion was unani
mously agreed to, and in an instant the
senate chain tier was deserted, after a
continuous session of 38 hours and 40
minutes.

Washington, D. C, Oct. 14. Special
to Thh Ciibonk-i.e There Is great diffi
culty with the telegraphic wires, which
were prostrated by the storm, but an
hour ago one wire was got in working
order. The scene in the senate today is
a rejietitiun of that of yesterday. Fili
bustering Is the order of the day, and
delays are frequently occasioned by the
calling of the roll, when the senators re
fuse to answer as their names are called.

here all lust night and up to a late hour
this morning, at which time it had

Washington, Oct. 13. Voorhees said
to the Associated Press that he would at

reached. He did not know whether he
could hold a quorum, but it would not
be bis fault if one failed.
A movement is on foot in opposition
to Voorhees' proposition to ask for a night
session, to procure an adjournment at
6 :30 till Monday.

STORM-SWEPT EAST
Tne Wind Beyond tbe Memory of tie
Oldest Inhabitant.
EVERYTHING RAZED TO THE GROUND
Tree Falls on the bouse of a Farmer
and Two of His Children Are
Crushed to Death.
Wilmington, X. C, Oct. 14.--The old
est inhabitant was forced to admit that
the terrific outburst of wind and wave
that swept through the city yesterday
surpassed any storm in his day or gen
eration. The tide was the highest ever
known, here. On tbe river the waves
dashed with tremendous force against
the warehouses and vessels, the tide
quickly covering the lowlands opposite
the city and stretching in an unbroken
sea across the rice fields as far as the eye
could reach. The troubled stream bore
an immense quantity of wreckage. High
water did considerable damage on Water
street. All the wharves were under
water, and the flood swept through the
lower floors of the warehouses. The
city wharves were washed up and landed
bodily on Water street. Tbe fire wharves
were also badly damaged. The flood is
deep enough from Chestnut and Mul
streets for a row boat.
Th only loss of life as yet known is
reported from Sampson, where a tree
fell on the house of a farmer named Lane
and crashed two of his children to death.
The total loss in this immediate vicinity
will probably reach 150,000.
Million-Dollar Lou In Baltimore.
Baltimore, Oct. 14. The damage done
by last night's storm is greater than has
been experienced in many years. Along
the water front the tide rose to the level
of the wharves, overflowed into the
stores and cellars of commission mer
chants and places occupied by oyster
packers, and completely destroyed
stocks to the amount of almost 1 1,000, -000.
Tbe oyster boats are badly dam
aged ; the destruction of property all
through the city is large.
levatatlon and ieath.
Gkokgktown, S. C, Oct. 14. The dev
astation and death wrought by the hurri
cane in and around this city and adja
cent sea islands is terrible. The entire
water-front of Georgetown is flooded,
and there is much damage to merchan
dise stored in warehouses. At Magnolia
Beach almost every house was washed
away and thirteen white and six colored
jieople drowned. A number escaped a
watery grave by taking refuge iu the
trees.
Train Robbery Frustrated.
Cnu'AGO.Oct. 14. An afternoon paper
says that the night operator on the
Milwaukee & St. Paul road at Oak Glen,
eighteen miles out, discovered a gang of
men acting suspiciously last night. He
notified headquarters and a special
train was sent out in advance of the fast
mail. The robbers with red lanterns
had prepared to flag the train a short
distance above Oak Cilen, but, discover
ing a special with armed officers on
board, they fled in the darkness and
escaped. The fast mail would have
proved a rich haul for them.
Compromise to be Made.
Washington, Oct. 14. Today was
pregnant with rumors of compromises
and agreements on the silver question.
Enough is known to lead to the conclu
sion that mutual concessions have been
made, and statements of senators justify
the hope that before next week has
passed there will be a movement toward
the settlement of the question. Just
what the compromise will be cannot be
said, but that which meets with most
favor contemplates about the same pro
visions as Harris' amendment combined
with a bond provision.
TUB KXIXISION LAW,
It Is Acaln the Principal Tople of UU
eujMlon In the Houne.
Washington, Oct. 14. At no time
during the day were more than 100
members present in the house, and the
discussion on the bill for the suspension
tor six months of the provisions of the
Geary Chinese exclusion bill was rather
dreary and uninteresting. Maguire was
the first speaker. In continuation of his
speech begun yesterday he said that
those who understood the destructive in
fluence of the Chinese were in perfect
accord with the people of the Pacific
coast. Speakingof the religious protests
he said that for every pagan which had
been converted by missionaries, numer
ous children of our own had been won
from Christianity by contact with the
Chinese and dragged down to degrada
tion. Outhwaite of Ohio, in his report
on the Geary bill, said that unlc.s the
Geary act was extended congress must
provide $7,000,000 for deporting the
Chinese. Dr. Everett of Massachusetts
defended the course of the attorney
general in not enforcing the Geary act.
Geary here interrupted to call attention
to the fact that in 1S92 Secretary Blaine
dismissed a remonstrance on the ground
that the Chinese themselves were res
ponsible for it. Hermann of Oregon
criticised the administration for not en
forcing the Geary law, and Williams of
Mississippi supported the Geary amend
ment. He said the Chinese had taken
over 1300,000,000 from this country, and
no other state but California could stand
the drain. Without disposing of the
bill the house at 5 o'clock adjourned.
CLAYTON TRAGEDY AGAIN.

NO DOUBT WRECKED
A Laie Steamer Eensrlci to Hare Gone
Ashore and All Hands Lost.
CREW COMPRISED EIGHTEEN MEN.
Three Bodies Were Washed Ashore,
One of Them Being Identified
as the First Engineer.
Buffalo, X. Y., Oct. 15. The saddest
feature of the lake storm which raged
yesterday and last night is the reported
loss of the steamer Dean Richmond, on
the shore near Dunkirk. The first
heard of the disaster was at 9 o'clock
this morning, when the captain of the
Helen T. reported having sighted the
Dean Richmond off Long point, where
she was laboring under difficulties.
Later Captain Tierney, of the W. H.
Stevens, reported that he flighted the
Richmond in the middle of the lake,
four miles this Bide of Erie. One of her
stacks was missing, and while he was
looking the other stack and a spar went
by the board. She was laboring
heavily in the trough of the seas, as
her steering gear had become disabled.
Since then nothing has been seen or
beard of the vessel. It is thought she
must have gone down with all on board
and a cargo of merchandise from Toledo
to Buffalo. She belonged to the Toledo,
St. Louis and Kansas line. The crew
consisted of about 18 souls.
A dispatch from Dunkirk this evening
states that three bodies wero washed
ashore a few miles from there. One was
definitely identified as thut of John
Hogan, the first engineer, of Port Huron,
Mich. A boat bearing tbe steamer's
name was found later, and some barrels
of flour which formed part of her cargo
also drifted to land. She must have
gone down off Lighthouse point.
I'NION PACIFIC KECEIVER9UIP.
Ifflct of the Home Keeolutlnn on Its
Relation With the Goverument.
Washington, Oct. 15. The resolution
passed by the house, relating to the re
ceivership of the Union Pacific railway,
and calling upon the attorney-general to
inform the house what legislation, if
any, is neceseary to secure the indebted
ness of that company to thegovernment,
may result in important developments
in the relations of that company and the
government. The relations between the
government were materially altered
when the road went into the hands of a
receiver. Not so much from a legal
standpoint, as by the Thurman act the
government obtained a lien of all the
properties of the company, but the in
solvency of the company renders it im
possible for it to discharge its obligations
to the government when they mature.
It gives the receiver, under common law,
power to convert assets into cash, and
empowers him to issue receivers' certi
ficates to operate the road. Some of the
bonds mature in 1695, and if matters
with the road go badly under the re
ceivership, the result might be to throw
the government's claim and all other
liens into court, with the inevitable
effect of great loss to the government's
interest.
A Tramp Held ftienponaitle.
Jackson, Mich., Oct. 15. At the
coroner's inquest into the Michigan
Central wreck, which will be held to
morrow, Fred T. Slater will tebtify that
he saw a tramp standing on the plat
form of the car next to the engine in the
second section of the train. The cock
behind the engine that connects the air
brake was found turned immediately
after the wreck, which prevented the
air-brake from working. It is believed
the tramp wanted to get off the train
before it pulled into the station and
turned the cock, thinking it would make
the train slack up.
