On the Lakes.
CniCAGO, Oct. 15. The storm on the
lake yesterday was the severest known for
a number of years. At 2 o'clock a man al
the crib reported the wind blowing seventy
one miles an hour, which was the greatest
velocity attaiued by the storm. Fortunate
ly there were but few vessels outside the
harbor, and comparatively little damage
was done. A heavy ile-jt left here for the
east shore Wednesday and grave fears are
entertained f.r its safety. The general
opinion among vc&selmen is that the full
fury of the gale "will be felt oli the east
shore and that reports of accidents will be
received from Michigan todav.
Buffalo, N. Y., Oct. 15. The gale
which visited Buffalo last night did a at
amount of damage. For a Time the wind
reached a velocity of seventy miles an
hour. On the lake front forty small houses
wore totally destroyed by w iad and water
and their occupants had to lly for their
lives. Seven persons are known to have
ncrishe 1. anions them a sailor named
t:h:irli Mitchell and an old roan named
.John Edmunds. The bodies of two chil
dre.ii were recovered this mornin.!. also two
bodies which are unknown at present. On
the Hamburg turnpike neartiie city twent)
or thiity families have been rendered desti
tute and an appeal for aid has been issued.
Throughout the city many buildings are
damaged. The most senoui damage was
sustained by the splendid new miwo hail
in course of erection. A long section of
the rear wall was blown down. Damage to
buildings 612,000.
Mro. leoberts" .saloon and boardiu ; house
on the turnpike road was carried about 3U0

building by the police. Odicers also found
a family named Quinn up in a tree. Their
house had been demolished, and their hired
man named J. Edmunds, who could not
climb the tree, was drowned. Another
110110 on the turnpike wa-5 carried away
and the family are missing.
Rociikstkr, In. Y., Oct. 15. A severe
storm of wind and rain struck thi; city
yesterday, and though no particularly dis
Iistrous c'feets have oeen felt in the city,
the storm at Charlottethe part of Roches

have been towed into the harbor -with great
diillculty and at present lie in a dia'iblcd
condition oif the shore. The life-saving
crew are at work on a two-masted schooner
c:ut of Charlotte. The wind tonight is
steadily increasing and heavy damage to
shipping is feared.

Detisoit, Oct. 15. Reports are coming
in slowly of theellects of yesterday's storm.
From all parts of the state come the same
stories of damaged buildings, ruined fences,
broken tekgrapli and telephone poles, up
rooted trees and a general state of demoral
ization; but as yet" no lives have been re
ported lost. Several yachts and vessels
along the river were "badly damaged by
beatintr mrainst docks. At the lower end
of Detroit river, the schooner Mary is on
Fighting Island, and a number of other
vessels have been severely, handled by the
gale. It is impossible to give any idea oi
the aggregate damage bat it lias been
heavy.

The steamboat L. Q C. Lamar, left
Orange Wednesday night at 10 o'clock
with a relief oemmittee on board. Winn
she would return no one knew, but con
stant watch is kept at Orange and here.
At exactly midnight last night the whistle
of the Lawar was heard. The people hur
ried belter skelter to hear the news and re
ceive the sick and destitute.
The relief committee aboard the Lama
consisted of twenty citizens from Beauinont
and about forty from Orange. They trav
eled up the Naehez river between 4 o'clock
and midnight, which was an cxtraordinary
trip. frauirht with fearful danger. Twenty-five
of the committee were .left at Sabine
rass. to reco er some of the bodies, many
of which are reported to have been washed
a dozen miles over into Louisiana. The
members of the relief committee who re
turned were &o tired and worn out and so
overcome by the horrible devastation they
had witnessed that it was next to impossi
ble to gel a correct story from them, and
;ts each of the rescued "refugees was sur-
I rounded by about a hundred people, it was
equally impossible to get detailed accounts
fromary oi them.
The exact extent of the storm swept dis
trict is "et unknown. From reports
brought by the committee it is certain that
the liboded district embraces m expanse of
country much larger than at first supposed.
The.gulf seems to have moved over the
land for miles in one unbroken wall of
water.
The committee report that 121 persons
are mising, DO of whom are known to have
been drowned.
Thirty-five of the victims were white and
fifty-live colored.
Joseph, known as "Alligator Smith."
was supposed to be among the lost as peo
ple on the relief train saw him driving be
fore the gale on lake Sabine at the rate of
25 miles an hour, cliugiug to his skiff, and
calling loudly for help. Great was their
surprise therefore when "Ailigator" over
hauled the steamer en its return bringing
with him in his small teat three persons
whom he had rescued in the swamps.
Many other miraculous escapes' arc re
corded. Ninety-one half clad, shivering,
wretched victims of the storm were
brought up on the Lamar. Blankets and
bedding were immediately gathered from
houses to use for the comfort of the heart
broken sufferers, ever- one of whom has
some dear friend or relative among the!
dead. Nearly ail the refugees arc sick and
prostrated from exhaustion and hunger, i
f hey are being tenderly cared for by the
citizens of Beaumont.
New Okllaxs, Oct 15. Dr. B. F.
Calhoun, one of tiie relief committee, says
there are many persons in the vicinity of
Sabine Pass who are utterly destitute, being
without clothing to cover "their nakedness.
Dr. Calhoun requests aid for the destitute.
Unsays it makes no difference what is sent,
whether feo 1, ilothing. medicine or money,
they need them all. Dr. Calhoun is Mayor
of Beaumont and he will distribute through
committees what is sent to him. From all
accounts gathered, language could not ex-agernte-
the state of affairs at Sabine Pass.
Out of more than 150 houses in the vil
lage, less than six remained standing, and
they are ruined. Wives and children were
swept away and drowned in the presence
of their husbands and fathers who were
powerless to save them.

Thc'track of the storm center has been

is though! that terride winds are prevalent
along the St. Lawrence valley and in the
S,t. Lawrence gulf.
The people on the coast of Mexican were

Milwaukee, Oct. 14. Captain Grccn-
leji, of the Selah Chamberlain, which was
sunk by a collision yesterday, in an inter
view states that after he discovered the
light of the approaching vessel, he had
only time to give one whistle before the
collision occurred. His boat struck on the
Iort bow and a large hole was stove iu.
From the rush of" water in the hold he
knew it was impossible to keep her free,
and headed her for .he shore. But it was
only a few minutes before she began to
sink, and he ordered the crew to take the
small boats. This is all the information
that could be obtained from the captain.
Captain Sherwood, of the schooner John
Pridgeon, Jr., "which collided with the
Chamberlain, said to a reporter last night:
The night was as bad as I have ever ex
perienced for foir. Standing forward it
was impossible. to see over the smoke stack
through the fog.
We had a few minutes before nine,
changed ot:r course to pass vessel, and
had just got back on our Milwaukee course
when I eliscovered a vessel's bright light
ahead of u. "When I saw the bright light
I immediately ga"e two blasts of the
whistle indicatimc that I would take the
port side. The approaching boat sounded
one short whistle, but whether U was a
signal to us or a regular fog signal, I can
not say. It was less than a minute after I
first siirhted the bright lieht before the
collision occurred. 1" found that we were
taking no water and beyond haviug our
stern twisted sustained no damage. "Wc
lost sight of the other boat in the "fog im
mediately after tlie collision, but heard her
sound four short whistles, a signal for as
sistance. For three hours I searched for her;
going back and' fourth, and one time run
liiiuoack ten miles, but I saw nothing of
her. I finally concluded she had sustained
littre damage and continued on.

the committee on legislation, of which Mr.
Beaumont is also chairman, and recom
mends that the supplementary report of the
same committee, iu which the plan for a
congress of representatives of Knights of
L:ilor. be established at "Washington, be
sent out to all local assemblies for their
approval.
L. C. T. Schliebcr, of Massachusetts,
ami J. 31. Broughton, of Raleigh, N. U.,
wuro elected members of the "eneral co
nnj.mfivu board. David R. Gilon. of
Hamilton. Ont.. w:i3 elected Canadian sup
ply agent. This completed a full corps of
irencral officers, and their installation im
mediately followed.
3lr. Powderly, addressing the general as
semblv, expressed full confidence in the
men elected and pie-dyed himself to the
faithful performance "of the duties en
trusted to him. He lined upon the astern
blv the iinnortaneo of temperance and
asked them to endeavor to impress the iui
portnnce of this subject on the various
local assemblies. He called attention to
the fact that not one of the general oiueera
elected at this general assembly used intox
icatmg liquors.
EacJi of the general officers then formally
nledced himself to total abstinence from in
toxicutiug liquors during his two yeors
terra of office. The general workman in
stalled all the officer elected; none made
speeches, Tlie following resolution was
presented by Delegate Barret, of Pennsyl
vania: Vhcrca3, rejiorts have been currently
circulated and the impression has been cre
ated bv the press of the country regarding
the position of the Knights of Jvibor iqxjn
the question of social equality, and
Wherea-v we believe the welifarc of the
order in the south requires that this gen
eral assembly take such action aa will dw
pil these wrong impressions, therefore,
Resolved, that the organization of
Knights of Labor promises the civil and
political equality of all men, and in the
broad fieiu. of labor it recognizes no dis
tinction on account of color; but it has no
purpose tointeifere v.'ilh or cliwgnnUhe
oci:d relations which may exist retwwu
the differt-at rates in various iriions of
the country.
Thi, reflation was adopted without dt
bite. Mr. Powderly, when asked whether
thj assembly would be .-.blc to adjourn
this week, said it was impossible to nay.
A committee has been appointed to makf
arrangements for another hall in ex? the
allv. that the road fully expected that tho
engineers would join the knights and had
ouietly arranwl to bring engineers from a
distance to talce their place?.
Fortunately, he said, we were able to
make an arrangement by which the en
gineers remained loyal, and the men from
.-i distanc" were not needed. Perhaps an
opportune visit of P. M. Arthur, chief of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
to the southwest just at that time may
have been referred to. It is easy, t famish,
now to say the strike was ill-timed, ill
advised and badly managed. It i easy
enough now to "make Martin Irons a
scapegoat, and say lie ordered thc strike
without authority; but tl:e truth U that
every local assembly voted to give tbc dis
trict" board power "to demand an adjust
ment of the grievances complained of and
the reinstatement of Brother Hall. If tho
board erred iu acting prematurely and
withont proper consultation with
the general executive board, or tho
knowledge of the resources they could com
mand to ean-y on the strike, the disastrous
failure of the strike is sutllcicnt pan
Uimeat without any hard criticisms fioai
me.
Among the interesting facts developed in
the course of the investigation was tho ex
istence of a black list, "upon which v?ru

There is reasou to belive that the bLu-fc
