About 7 o’clock yesterday morn-

Island about seven miles southwest of
this city.
It was the most disastrous storm that
has visited this section for years, and al-
though it was not wide, carried away
almost everything in the line of its
course.
The storm first appeared at the resi-

New Orleans, La., Nov. 7—A gen-
eral strike is on here today. Every
street car line in the city is still tied up
and nearly every branch of trade is ma-
terially crippled.
The city is to be partially thrown into
darkness tonight by the strike of the
employes of the gas company and the
refusal, practically speaking, of the mu-
nicipal authorities to furnish the protec-
tion that is necessary in order to per-
mitoperation of the gas works.
The Gas Company has issued a card
to the public notifying the people that
very serious danger is likely to result
from the closure.
Two weeks ago the gas men were not
members of any organization and since
that time they have been organized, and
attached to the. Federation Labor union
and induced without any grievances of
their own to go on a sympathetic strike
in conjunction with electric light line-
men and employes, thug throwing city
into absolute darkness.
Telephone linemen also quit work at
ten o clock this morning without warn-
ing. They also have no grievance.
Underwriters’ and insurance men are
very much interested in the situation
today. There is a strong probability
that the waterworks employes will also
strike, forcing the suspension of the
tforks and cutting off the water supply.
In case of a con flagar ation, whether due
to natural or incendiary' causes the
insurance companies would not assume
liability for losses and the city would
have to foot the bills.
Marine firemen and steamboat mates’
unions.struck this morning and this ac-
tion laid up steamboats for want of em-
ployes. The only exception was the
steamer Whisper, which left at 11 o’clock
with a union crew, including the secre-
tary of the mates’ union, who took the
strikers’ place.
The strike of the printers went into
effect this morning. The proprietors of
the Timee-Democrat say if their men re-
turn by 3 o’clock this evening they will
take them back, otherwise they will not.
They will get out their paper as usual
tomorrow, as they use type setting ma-
chines almost exclusively.
The proprietors of the Bee, a French
daily, also say they will issue tomorrow,
union or no union. The Picayune is de-
pendent upon typesetters, and virtually
admit that they can not publish tomor-
row if the printers remain out. The
office of an evening paper, the City Item,
organ of the laborers, is closed tight ana
will not appear today.
The Truth, which also panders to the
labor element, is issuing one-sheet ex-
tras F.et up by the proprietors, who are
practical printers, and will continue un-
less forced to desist.
The Daily States is less affected than
any other journal by the strike, as they
have for the past six years employed a
fraternity force of printers who are not
allied with any other labor body here.
Governor Fester will have an inter-
view with Mayor Fitzpatrick today and
will endeavor to ^prevent the enforced
shutting down of the gas and water
works.
The governor is fully alive to the
gravity.of the situation, and it is inti-
mated in some quarters that if affairs do
not improve shortly the governor is
likely to step in and take charge without
waiting .for the mayor to call upon him.
Prominent lawyers claim that he has
fuil authority under the constitution to
take such step. This would mean if
necessary, calling on the federal authori-
ties for assistance if rioting ensued.
Up to 1 o’clock however, no violence
had been, reported and in that respect
the situation was encouraging.
Notwithstanding the repeated claims
of the central union leaders that the
cotton laborers would join the general
strike, the latest reports to the Cotton
Exchange are that the teamsters, cotton
yardmen, longshoremen and screwmen
are still at work.

Driven to the Publication of Contempt-
ible Dies Against Gresham, Which
Are Answered and Nailed by Repu-
table Citizens.
Au anonymous gutter-snipe hand-bill,
emanating, it is believed, from the cen-
tral republican club of this city, has been
circulated here, and possibly throughout
this congressional district, within the
past forty-eight hours.
It was sent out at the last moment, so
that neither Colonel Gresham nor his
friends could refute the despicable false-
hoods contained in it. But in this these
political ghouls were mistaken. The
refutation came promptly, forcefully and
without solicitation.
The following from the deep water
committee should satisfy any reasonable
person that the charges, or rather in-
sinuations, in this contemptible smut
sheet, authorized and issued by anony-
mous creatures no less contemptible, is
a lie out of whole cloth.
If such publications influence a man
to vote against Gresham that man should
apply immediately to the central re-
publican club lor admission as a full-
fledged member, without probation, and
entitled to a seat at the right hand of its
distinguished president. Following are
the -refutations. The names attached
are sufficient without further comment:
The Deep Water Work.
To the People of the Tenth Congres-
sional District: Oar attention has been
called to certain charges or insinuations
against.the Hon. Walter Gresham, based
upon his connection with the disburse-
ment of funds confided to him in the
promotion of the passage of the Galves-
ton deep water bill. The undersigned
members of the deep water committee,
uting to the fund with the superintend-
ence of its disbursement, deem it their
duty to say to the public that the money
so entrusted to Air. Gresham was used
by him under the direction of the com-
mittee with its approbation.
Mr. Gresham’s services in the matter
of deep water at Galveston were rendered
at the solicitation of the committee. He
was untiring in his industry, indefati-
gable in his zeal, and his efforts were
crowned with the highest success.

The School Tax.
To the Public: Slanderous imputa-
tions have been made against the Hon.
Walter Gresham, growing out of his col-
lection of the seven-eighth school tax in
1873, while civil district attorney for
Galveston and Brazoria counties. These
insuations imply that Mr. Gresham
bought up the vouchers of teach ere--at a
discount and afterward accounted for
his collections by turning in such vouch-
ers at face value as cash. I was pro-
fessionally employed by the county
treasurer of Galveston county in'the lat-
ter part of 1873 to apply to the district
court of Galveston county for a man-
damus to prevent Mr. Gresham from
paying over such collections to the state
board of education at Austin, claiming
that the county treasurer was the proper
custodian of tbe fund. My recollection
is that it was a friendly suit and had for
its object the payment from the fund of
the teachers in the free schools of this
county, and that the suit was occasioned
by the demand of the state board on
Mr. Gresham and the apprehension that
in the event this demand was complied
with the teachers in our local schools
would not be paid.
It is my recollection that Mr. Gresham,
previous to the institution of this suit,
had been accustomed to pay the teachers
at the instance of our local board of
school trustees. To accomplish the pur-
pose in view it was agreed between Mr.
Gresham and the county treasurer that
he should continue to pay the teachers
as before and that the treasurer would
receive the vouchers so paid as cash.
Judgment was afterward' rendered in
favor of the treasurer against Mr.
Gresham and was satisfied on that basis.
Those collections were made by Mr.
Gresham after repeated decisions of the
supreme court affirmed the constitu-
tionality of the tax and long before the
decision in the case of Willis vs. Owens
in 1875, overruling tbe four previous
cases. The collection was devolved on
Mr. Gresham in his official capacity and
its disbursement in the manner stated is
believed to have been legal, and was
certainly in the interest of the main-
tenance of free schools in Galveston and
the payment of the teachers so em-
ployed. Robert G. Street.

TWISTED around
and badly wrecked. The outhouses and
trees were blown down and severe dam-
age done to the most of his property.
The Claiborne place was next
visited and a number of outbuildings
were demolished, trees uprooted, and
things scattered in all directions. The
Claiborne two-story residence was not
injured.
The storm next struck Mr. C. M. Beal’s
and his residence was completely
demolished, as were also his barn and
other outbuildings.
In the neighborhood of Mr. Beal’s
cattle and calves were found dead, and
debris of all kinds scattered over the
prairie. Mr. William Beal, a son of Air.
O. M. Beal, was struck by the falling
timbers and his head badly bruised, but
he sustained no serious injuries.
Mr. Beal’s loss on buildings and stock
will exceed $1500.
The storm then moved east and struck
Mr. Patchentag’s place, 300 yards dis-
tant, and his new two-story residence
was completely destroyed and his entire
family buried in the ruins. His little
3-year-old daughter Sophia
WAS INSTANTLY KILLED.
His son William was caught beneath
the roof, but was soon removed by
neighbors and sustained but slight in-
juries. The other members of the
family, the mother and eight children,
were more or less bruised, but were not
seriously hurt. Two workmen also re-
ceived several painful but not dangerous
wounds.
Air. Patchentag is a milkman and his
wagons were completely demolished, one
of them being carried 100 yards from
where it was standing. ________w^iuiLLee
The storm then moved to the north- charged by their fellow citizens contrib-
east and struck the house of Mr. Lewis ...........
Rattisseau, moving it from its founda-
tion and completely wrecking it. Mrs.
Rattisseau and her baby were
BURIED BENEATH A WARDROBE,
but were rescued with but slight inju-
ries. All tbe outbuildings were blown
down and demolished. Mr. Rattis-
seau’s loss will reach fully $2000.
Mr. A. Briscoe’s residence was the
next place visited by the storm and was
twisted from its foundation and left
facing the north instead of the east as it
formerly stood. His barns and all other
outhouses were entirely destroyed and
the timbers scattered for hundreds of
yards. His loss will reach $1000.
Wire fences all along the course of
the storm were blown down and the
POSTS TORN FROM THE GROUND
and scattered over the prairie.
Those who were left homeless by the
storm were soon taken to the homes of
neighbors and cared for.
R. J. James, J. Rough, Julius Bryon
and Frank Ford were out hunting in a
wagon, and all four were lifted from
their seats and landed on the ground,
sustaining slight injuries.
The storm was not to exceed fifty
yards in width, and the distance traveled
was not more than half a mile.
None of those visited by the storm
carried any tornado insurance, and their
houses and buildings are a complete
loss.
Eirst Autlicutic Account, Witli Correct
Names, of a Saturday Niglit Fracas.
Martin Torocksoa was shot in the leg,
at the corner of Tremont and Market
streets, Saturday evening, by a man
named Charles Keely.
Keely is a member of Cotton Screw-
men’s union No. 2, and at the place
mentioned met several members of
union No. 1, 'when a difficulty arose and
Keely was pretty roughly handled. He
is said to have drawn his revolver and
made an attempt to shoot, but the
would not go off’. A general scuffle
sued, and in the attempt to take the
pistol from Keely the weapon was dis-
charged, the ball taking effect inTorock-
son’s leg, inflicting a painful but not
serious wound. Keely wag arrested and
is now in jail. He will have a hearing
Thursday morning. Torockson was a
by-stander and had taken no part in the
trouble.
WANT THE WHARF
But Would Ba Satisfied With
Werth of It.
A damage suit for $15,000 was filed
in the district court late Saturday even-
ing against the Galveston Wharf com-
pany.
The plaintiffs in the case are Frances
M. Jones, Frances Jones, a minor, and
Sam Jones, a minor. Amelia Clark, an
aunt, is made plaintiff for the children.
The petition seis forth that William
Jones, who was husband and father
of the plaintifis, was employed
by the Wharf company as a laborer in

NEW INVENTION.
Mr. Arthur Wadhams, the genial and
popular caterer of this city, has invented
a remarkably successful automatic ma-
chine for frappaeing or artificially cool-
ing wine and other liquids of like nature.
Mr. Wadhams’ invention consists of a
cylinder packed in ice, arranged in a
case, the cylinder holding the bottle of
wine by means of a stud and clamps. A
convolute spring, set in motion by a key,
furnishes the motive power and sets the
bottle in rapid rotary motion, reducing
the temperature of the wine with mar-
velous celerity and furnishing wine per-
fectly frappaed in from five to eight
minutes. The old process requires sev-
eral hours to reach the same result. Mr.
Wadhams has applied for a patent
through his attorneys, Messrs. Harris &
Harris, and expects that rapid introduc-
tion of his invention into wine-using
circles which its merit certainly warrants.
Some people pose as philanthrophists
with nothing at heart except the inter-
ests of the public, especially on the eve
of election, but can point to no generous
act of theirs done in private life. Those
who are acquainted with Fred McC.
Nichols, and there are thousands of
them here, know he has never turned
his back to friend or foe. and will show
their appreciation of his manliness by
re-electing him to the office of-state and
county tax assessor by an overwhelming
majority.
