Tarawa, Oct. t—The incasaant rain to day has rendersd the search for the mur derer of William Jeffrey extremely diffi cult. and nothing definite was aceom piiahed. Sheriff Matthews and bis posae have walked more than twenty miles since daylight. Mr. Mcgrath and his blood hounds, with six deputies, have tramped equally as far. The guards at every possi ble point ol escape have been strength ened. If the murderer gets away he wili have to elude 10»i vigilant officers and undergo great hardships.

John Condon and others saw a strange-acting man near ilkeson early this morning. Several guards there also •aw him, but none got a chance to halt him. or. more likely, were atraid to Inter cept him because of his shooting proclivi ties.

The stores were closed, the Presbyterian church was decorated with Ivy and white flowers. The scene was sad in the extreme, the widow and mother of the dead man breaking dowu with grief. Frank McMnrray, the murderer's youth ful companion, is still in the county jail, but the officers rsfuse to allow him to be ■een.

MMKIK'KB H CAIHiUABTIKfI, I*- VXAST ATE Faia, TACOIIA, Oct. 2.— [Special.] —Military day, today, was not the aucceas It was to have been had the weather been clear. It rained nearly all day. All the military men in town hoped tor a line day and expected a big time, but thev were doomed to disappointment. At 2 3>J p. m. the members of the First regiment assembled at tha armory of Company C and made m short parade in a drizsiing rain. The battalion v was In command of Capt. J. J.

The visiting members of Companies V and Aparaded with Companies C and G. Tha battalion was in heavy marching order, and in spite of the tact that there was no music to march to and the muddy condition of the streets, they made a very fine appear ance. The sham battle that was to have taken place tonight has been postponed on account of the rain. If the weather per mits. it will taka place tomorrow evening, with the help of the local companies of the K. G. W. and the G. A. K., with a fine display of fireworks. A new feature was today Introduced in the fair grounds. In the Indian depart tuerH a band of Indians is to be seen play ing sing gamble, the Indian game which waa eitensively written up In the POST- IsriuxiuESrsa last spring. It has been for years one of the great features of the hop-picking times in the Puyaliup valiey. The game ie played with two pieces of bone, one perfectly plain, the other with a black stripe around it. The whole game consists of one man guessing in which band the other man holds the plain white bone. Yesterday there were at different times twenty or thirty Indiana in the Indian department playing this game. They squat down on the floor. arranged a dozen or soon each side, and with short t>iece* of wood pound the door or the loose boards in the floor, sing their dirge-like aongs, and occasionally break forth in wild hurrahs over the good lack of their side. Each aide has a leader, and there are some men who era more noted for their skill or their luck in the game than othera. mNlir.lt MORHMOM A DKFACI.TKH.

Much speculation ha* been tndu-ged in aa to why this cereal ia be;ng shipped to New York, where it can only be sold at a loae. The reason can be attributed to the b:g tre of September 22. wnen the Pacific Cout elevatcr end 1U contents were burned. The Reaper waa charterei by the elevator company to take barley to New York, and the grain with which ahe waa to be loaded waa in etore at the elevator. This was destroyed, and as theship's char ter wooid not allow her to wait until another cargo of barley is accumulated she took a carro of wheat. It is probable that there ia not another cargo of barley in this country, as the ship Iroquois, which has a similar charter to the Reaper, will a.so load wheat for the Atlantic sea board. OLESXAS KfAMUAL ACAIS. Tb* Doctor rkircs His Wlfo With la fidellty and ttteals Two Children. Wa«H;jr«To2i Cirr, Oct. 2.—The domestic discord in the family of I>r. A. H. Glennan had a vioient sequel early this morning, when Arthur and Kennetb, the two oldest children, were forcibly taken from their sleeping apartments in the home ol their mother by a party of un known men, instirated, Mrs. Glennan asserts, by her husband. Dr. and Mrs. Glennan have not lived together lor about three years. The doctor attempted to secure possession of the children through the courts, but failed. He is a surgeon in the marine hospital service, and his wife waa Mies Susie Rayuer, daughter of Joseph Kenneth liayner, congressman from North Carolina. Mrs. Glennan and her two sons have been occupying room on the third door of a boarding-house, and early this morning the mother was wakened by the breaking in of the door leading to her sons' rooms. She screamed, but before the occupants of the house were aroused the children were seied and carried away. Four men composed the party, and Mrs. Olennan judged that one of them was her husband. Further developments put a new light on the case, and make the affair assume an entirely di fferent aspect from that given by Mrs. Giennan. It is alleged in a bill of divorce fiied today that Dr. G.ennan last night found his wife in a compromis ing position with a commercial traveler named Silling, of Alexandria, Va., and that it eas upon this discovery that he took the children from her. Dr. Glennan, it is said by his friends, has had his wife under his •ye for some time past. Some time ago he sued for divorce and named Surgeon Ma grader. of the ra trine hospital service, as co-respondent, the offense at the time not being proved. Today, however, on the evidence alleged to have been secured last night. Dr. Glennan filed suit for divorce against Mrs. Glennan. and named Silling as co-respondent, alleging offenses at Harper's Ferry and other places to the plaintiffs knowledge, and also at the place where h« says ho discovered his wife in Billing's comnany last night. POET TOWXSKND, Oct. 2 Dr. Glennan had charge of the marine hospital her* from 18fW to 1891, whan he was transferred to the Southern quarantine station, off the South Carolina coast. His wife instituted proceedings for divorca a couple of years ago, in Washington City, employing ex- Attorney General Garland, and charged the doctor with extreme cruelty. 11* filed counter charges, alleging that ahe was insane and incompetent to raise their four children. Glennan has large property iu terests in Jeflerson county. On several occasions here, whil* suffer ing with fits of jealousy, Mrs. Glennan at tempted her husband's life, and on one occasion she bred several shots at him in the presence of a priest.

FINANCIAL LOSS A MILLION. lasaas Asylam aad Peaiteatlary Espe cial Objects of the W lad's Race- Hotels Mack Damaged. Lirri.* ROCE. Oct 2.—A terrible cyclone •truck this city at 7:30 this evening and al most devastated the business portion of the city. people are known to have been killed, and many were injured. The mam portion of the business center, bounded on the south by Railroad street, on the north by the river front, on west by Center street, and on east by Commercial street, is practic ally in rums, and the amount of damage is incalculable. Property loss will proba bly approximate $1,000,000. The cyclone was accompanied by a terrific storm, and the stocks in the business houses which were unroofed, destroyed by water. The storm struck the state psmtenti *ry, which stands on a hill ia the western part ol the city, with fearful force, destroying the dining room, tearing down the stable and shops, unroofing the main cell build ing and demolishing the warden's offices. Tha loss will be SOO,OOO. Several convicts were seriously iujured, one of whom died an hour afterward. A stampede took place among the convicts, but Superin tendent McConnelland his assistants soon succeeded in quieting them. Fortunately 450 of the convicts had been taken to the Sunn jside plantation some days ago. At the insane asylum, a mile from the city, SIOO,OOO damage was done. The roofs of the main buildings were completely demolished, and several wards caved in, destroying everything inside. Several insane patients made their escape, but were captured. It is not known how many inmates were killed or injured, as many were supposed to be buried in the ruins. The contusion is too great there to learn anything tonight. Dr. Jacob In grate, who came here several months ago from Mobile, Ala, to accept a position in the asylum, was killed. The Capital and Richelieu hotels were badly damaged. The streets are covered with poles, wires and debris from the wrecked buildings. Six electric motors are pinioned on the track on Main street with heavy rafters and poles, and wiil be a total loss. Down town lightning struck the Martin block, corner of Spring and Second streets, totally wrecking the third floor. A man named Eaton was fatally injured there. The Lighter building, corner of Cen ter and Oak streets, was unrooted, and a part of the fourth floor of the Gleason hotel was blown away. At Main and Second streets the tops of several adjacent buildings lie piled up in an in discriminate heap. The most damage, however, was done to Markham and Com merce streets. Nearly every building in that district is unroofed, and many are totally wrecked. The large three-story building at Markham nnd Culbert streets, occupied by the B. H. McCarthy Com pany, is a total WtecX, as is also the two story building on the opposite cor ner, occupied by Max Elkins' saloon. The third story of the old Dodge house was blown down, and the several doors under it were flooded with water and filled with debris. The streets are filled with tin roofs, electric wires and other wreckage, and it will be several days before the extent of the damage can be accurately known.* The large cotton warehouse at Second and Crook streets was wrecked. All telegraphic communication with outside points is cut off. Rescuing parties are busy searching for the wounded, hut a list of casualties is un obtainable. Among those known to have been seriously, and probably fatally in jured are: C. H. Monroe, member of the Arkansas legislature; —. Eaton and Sam Smith, a prominent cotton buyer. Others are known to be more or less in jured. Through the heroic services of Mayor Hail and Chief of Police Frank Mahon, the injured and helpless received the'best of attention. CONDENSED DISPATCHES.

A cyclone struck the house of John Nel son, seven miles south of Pawnee, Neb., at 9o'clock Monday night. The family, con sisting of seven persons, was blown into an adjoining held. A girl, to years old, had a stck driven through her skull, and cannot live. Five others were severely in jured. Patrick Morris, a rancher of Henicia. Cal., was found dead near his dwelling Tuesday. It appears that he fired his barn and the sheds on the ranch, Monday night, and meant to fire the house, and that he then committed suicide. A mort gage on ail his properly had just been loreclosed, and Morris had nothing left. The power and niiningdepartnient of the General Electric C»mpanv, New York, has just closed a contract with the Sacra mento Electric Light and Power Company that calls for the transmission bv electric ity from a water power at Foiaom, Cal., twenty miles distant, of several thousand electrical horse power to the city ot Sacra mento to supp v light, beat, power, etc., to an extent that will practically super sede all the present steaui plants now in 05 eration.

THE CKJCKET ALMOST SI'NK She Collides With the Sehom* at Ever ett and l'aanenger* Fire. The steamer Cricket was nearly cap sized at Everett last .Saturday morning by the Sehome, carrying the I'OKT-I N r*i,n oesckr excursion to Tacoma, and filled half full of water. The story as told by Capt. Harrington is as follows: The two boats left Everett about the same time, and Capt. Harrington, of the Sehome, gained the right-of-wr.y. When the two boats were nearly opposite each other Capt. Uilmor<\ of the Crirket, called to Capt. Bar ring ton to come on.TheSehonie responded, and was rapidly overhauling the Cricket, when the latter vessel attempte I to cross the Sahome's bow, Capt. Harrington saw that a collision was imminent, and gave the signal to stop. The boat slowed up, but the guard rails bumped the Cricket, nearly turning her over. The Cricket's passengers and crew jumped out and were taken in through the windows of the Sehome.

Able Address at the Methodiat Woman's .Ml«sionarv M««tia(. The Columbia River branch of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of the Methodiat Episcopal church opened its second annual session at the First Methodist Fadocopal church last evening with devotional services and a brilliant address by Rev. Charles E. Locke. D. P., of the Taylor street church in Portland. The pulpit and railings had been beautified bv the members of the local aociety with evergreens, ferns, tlowers and autumn leavfs. The handsome church was comfortably tilled with delegates and members of the church. Mrs. Kits M. Walthew, president of the local society, occupied a seat in the pulpit and presided, assisted by Mrs. A. J. Hanson, of l'uyal lup, the conterence secretary. Right aod eft of these ladies on the pulpit were Rev. W. T. F'ord, pastor of i»race church of ihia city; Rev. W. A. Shanklin, pastor of the First church, and Rev. Dr. C. E. Locke. A well-rendered solo by Mrs. L. lludgin to the organ accompaniment of Prof. Sharpe, added much to the interest of the services. Mr. Ford gave the prayer and several hyiuni were sung by the eongrega gation. Dr. C. E. Lrirkc then made the address of the evening, his text be.ng, "The Modern Deborah." Woman, he said, was at once the source and the cause of the present Christianity. Si>e had ever been appreci ative of the blessing* won through Christ —a Deborah leadiug when men were afraid of the battle. Much was heard to day of woman's sphere. Her aptiere was wherever her tastes and Capabilities led her. He called woman a modern Deborah because she had always been aggressive in enterprises. Three hundred and fifty avocations were now occupied by her, against eight or ten fifty years ago. Oen. Spinner employed 1,000 women in the treasury department, and testified that they were more accurate than men and had never bsen proven dis honest. He instanced their journalistic abilities, citing Frank J.tulu-Tfw y Ladiet' Home Journal and about a dugen other papers m which women in part or entirely occupied the editorial chair. Tnis modern Deborah had made great progress in all intellectual lines. We were told that her brains were less in weight than that of man. "Is the smaller siring of the violin less important than tl:e larger?" asked he. How much did man owe to the Ueorge Eiiots Margaret Fuller*, Helen Hunt Jacksons, and the Tahiheimers. Dr. Wheeler, ex-president of Allegheny college, had recently stated from his broad exi>erienc« of years as pres ident of a co-educational institution that "the mind power of the age was passing over to women." This modern Dfborah was a factor also in society. Emerson said: ".Society is the influence oi women." As mother and wile she was the mightiest force in the universe. The sphere of motherhood did not interfere Willi her other spheres of usefulness, and woman was yet to have a place iu the state, for it was "an infamous anachronism that she is not a citizen." f<ne was emit.ei to eitxsnship because legislators would not recognize her until she was given the ballot. H* mstauced in proof of this the statement of John iSright the more legislation in favor of the work inginan had i-een enacted m England in the ten years Immediately succeeding l«w, wtien he was given the franchise, than in the 'ZM years immediately prior thereto. Mie needed citizenship to supplement the training in the Luiue. lie thei dwelt at morn® length on wo man'* rork in the church, the fa< t that women made neroic ( hristians and that in thfitnanxisl heathenism there was work that could on>y be done by women for women.

Dr. Locke then c.os«d by saying: "We pray that the noble women of this society may ail render such efficient serr.ee that at last the Master wili say of each, e bath done what she could.'' Mr*. A. J.
