DISASTROUS CUBAN FLOODS.
Very Little News Can Be Had of the Strand
ed Warships.
Havana, Oct. 7.—Further details have
been received of the loss of life and dam
age caused by the heavy rains of Septem
ber 30. Several localities in the Vuelto
Aba jo, the great tobacco growing dis
trict, were inundated. It is known that
fifty-six persons were drowned and it is
feared that the number may be increased
when the remote hamlets are heard from.
The railroads in the district are heavy
losers. Many houses were destroyed and
large fields of tobacco were completely
ruined by the torrents of water that
poured over them. There is much suffer
ing in the district.
The government has decided to extend
aid to the victims of the.flood and mili
tary pay will be allowed to each of the
sufferers. Today several prominent men
subscribed $10,310 for relief purposes.
Reports from the scene of the wreck of
the cruiser Cristobal Colon are still very
meager. Acting Admiral Mas has gone
to the scene of the gunboat Contramaes
tro to ascertain whether the stranded
warship can be got afloat. The crew of
the Dutch steamer, who went ashore close
to the place where the Cristobal Colon
stranded, have arrived at Esperanza.
the doctors
approve of Scott’s
Emulsion. For whom ? For
men and women who are weak,
when they should be strong;
for babies and children who
are thin, when they should be
fat; for all who get no nourish
ment from their food. Poor
blood is starved blood. Con
sumption and Scrofula never
come without this starvation.
And nothing is better for
starved blood than cod-liver
oil. Scott’s Emulsion is
cod-liver oil with the fish-fat
taste taken out.

FIRE CHIEFS MEET.
The Twenty-Third Annual Convention in Ses
sion at Augusta, Ga.
Augusta, Ga., Oct. 7.—Owing to the pre
liminary work necer-sary to enrolling the
delegates and the securing of badges,
paying of fees, etc., the twenty-third an
nual convention of the Fire Engineers
was not called to order until 12 o'clock
at the Grand Opera.
The delegates marched In behind the
Augusta Young Men's Christian associa
tion band. This is beyond doubt the
largest convention which has ever been
held by the association.
President Benoit of Montreal called the
convention to order, and Hon. J. C. C.
Black, congressman from the Tenth dis
trict. welcomed the delegates to the state
In the place of Governor Atkinson, who
was unavoidably detained. His speech
was enthusiastically received, and rang
with true southern cordiality and patriot
ism.
Mayor W. B. Young welcomed the dele
gates on behalf of the city. City Attor
ney M. P. Carroll gave a formal address
of welcome.
Chief M. S. Humphreys of Pittsburg
replied to the addresses of welcome.
Chief Devine of Salt Lake City, Utah,
and Ex-Chief Hendricks, now mayor of
New Haven, also made responses to the
addresses of welcome.
The convention then proceeded with the
roll call, and the committee on creden
tials was appointed, the convention ad
journing until 10 o’clock tomorrow.
In the afternoon the delegates were
taken in charge by the citizens’ entertain
ment committee and shown the cotton
mills, in which industry Augusta has
over $6,000,000 Invested; the Augusta
Brewing company’s establishment, where
a lunch was served, and the United
States arsenal.
Every prominent manufacturer of fire
appliances and apparatus has a display
on exhibit, which is attracting a good
deal attention of the chiefs, who pro
nounce the display the most complete
ever given at any of the annual conven
tions.
Already the delegates are beginning to
work for the location of the next conven
tion, and the light will be a pretty warnil
one. It now looks as If Salt Lake City
or St. Paul will be the favored city of
the western delegates, while Portsmouth,
Me., Is leading the bidders of the east
ern states. The weather is perfect and
the air bracing, and the sun is shining
as brightly as a day In June.

DURANT’S triad.
The Prisoner Is Delighted That. He Will Be
Allowed to Talk.
San Francisco, Oct. 7.—Durant was told
today that Deuprey had said this morn
ing that he would put him (Durant) on
the stand this week. Durant said he was
glad to hear It, though he had not yet
been told so by his counsel. He said he
was ready and willing to tell all he knew
and had really been ready to tell from
the first, but his lips had been sealed by
his attorneys. He said he was sorry he
would be restricted In what he would
say, as he would like to explain every
thing. Durant spoke with confidence.
The approach of the time when he Is to go
on the stand has apparently no effect on
his nerves.
As matters now stand the schedule of
time in the now rapidly approaching
time is as follows:
On Thursday Deuprey will close the
case for the defense, Friday and Monday
wlll b«* occupied by District Attorney
Barnes in rebut tal.Tuesday will be passed
In rebuttal or anything that may come
up, Wednesday will be taken up by As
sistant District Attorney Pelxoto In his
opening argument. Thursday will b“ set
apart for Deuprey. with Friday and part
of Monday for General Dickinson, who
will make the cloalng effort for the de
fense. Barnes will oacupy the balance of
Monday and all of Tueday In closing for
the prosecution, so that II Is confidently
expected that Judge Murphy wt'l charge
the Jury not later than the morning of the

EPISCOPALIANS AT WORK.
A Proposition to Select a Life Time Presiding
Bishop Brought About More Talk.
No Vote Reached.
Minneapolis, Minn., Oct. 7.—Invitations
from Atlanta and Boston to hold the next
triennial convention at those cities, re
spectively, were presented to the house
this afternoon, and were referred to the
committee on location. The question of
printing the bishop’s pastoral letter of
1894 In the Journal provoked considera
ble discussion and parliamentary spar
ring. Finally, on motion of Dr. Park
of Pennsylvania, the whole matter was
laid on the table by a vote of 200 to 117.
The resolution presented by Rev. Dr.
Fairbanks Saturday, providing that any
dioceBe may set apart a portion of Its
territory as a mission, was taken up
again and discussed. Mr. Alsop of Long
Island objected to the amendment on
the ground that it would Invite dioceses
to throw off their outlying and more
troublesome districts and would greatly
Increase the work of the mission board.
Dean Gardner of Omaha took Issue
with him, stating he did not believe such
action would be taken except where it
was necessary. A motion to lay on the
table was lost, and a motion to refer to
the mission committee was presented by
Dr. McVIcker of New York, but before a
vote was taken Dean Hoffman moved the
order of the day, the report of the com
mittee on revision.
The house then went into committee
of the whole.
By a viva voce vote, which was suffi
ciently large in the volume to restrain
the minority from challenging a divis
ion, the house of deputies of the Epis
copal convention placed itself on record
as being willing to surrender one of Its
most valuable prerogatives and especially
the only one which enabled it to hold the
whip hand and in preventing the house
of bishops from making of Itself, If It
were so disposed, a literary oligarchy.
But for the fact that it is now recognized
that the present debate is but an Inter
change of opinions between the repre
sentatives of the various dioceses and
that the old constitution Is likely to re
main the foundation of the church, the
refusal of the convention to reenact the
clause putting into effect within three
days all legislation concerning which
the bishop had made no sign, might be
fraught with grave consequences to the
denomination. The clause from the new
revision, after a debate in the commit
tee, which it is said lasted a week, would:
enable the house of bishops to approve
Just as much of the legislation of the
Junior body and to indefinitely kill by
failure to act on all resolutions, reports
and other matters, with which it may
not he in accord. The result would be
to make the lower or representative
house little more than a spoke In the
wheel of the church.
A number of deputies, both lay and
clerical, declare tonight that if the con
sideration of the revision was completed
at this meeting and the document went
to the diocese the old clause would be re
instated hy an overwhelming majority.
This was the first victory for the revis
ion committee after several days of de
bate, but their jubilation was short
lived. By an overwhelming majority the
house refused to exclude domestic mis
sionary bishops In the counting of a quo
rum, the legal effect of which exclusion
would be to make It possible for seven
teen or eighteen bishops to form a ma
jority even on questions of the gravest
importance to the church which are un
der consideration. Then came the cele
brated section 3, providing for the elec
tion of a primus, or head of the house
of bishops, to hold office for life save in
the event of voluntary resignation.
Quickly the amendments piled up. One
delegate favored a designation of "pres
ident bishop," another "archbishop,” an
other "presiding bishop,” and one more
“primate.”
The house was not in favor of any of
the first three, nor did It kindly regard
as a substitute that the bishops elect
their own presiding officer and give him
whatever designation they might see fit.
A vote had not been reached on the
"primate" proposition when the house
adjourned.
The bishops also devoted themselves
this afternoon to the revision.

A. FUSION TICKET.
Everything in New York Is Combining
Against Tammany Hall.
New York, Oet. 7.—The county conven
tions of republicans and the state de
mocracy tonight nominated the following
ticket, which was agreed upon early in
the night by the conference committee of
the chamber of commerce, good govern
ment clubs, republicans and state dem
ocrats:
County clerk—Thomas L. Hamilton, re
publican.
Register—Thomas F. Keating, state
democrat.
Justices of the supreme court—Ernest
Hall, republican; Charles C. Beaman, in
dependent. and Meyer S. Isaacs, good
government. «,
Judges of the city court—Henry C. Bot
ty and James W. Hawes, republicans;
Daniel O'Connell, state democrat.
The excise plank of the platform of
both conventions are the same. It ree tes
that Tammany is responsible for the
present law, which was freely used by It
for oppressing political opponents; Insists
that every citizen is entitled to enjoy po
litical freedom not In conflict with the
moral and religious convictions of his
fellow citizens; favors such modiflcat ons
of existing laws as will prevent black
mail, partiality and oppression and will
enable the city to determine for itself
whether the sale of food beverages and
other necessaries shall be permitted on
Sunday during church hours, and de
clares that the legislature shall deter
mine and enact such conditions In the
excise law.
The republican platform Indorses the
nominations and the p’atform of the re
publican state convention recently held
at Saratoga and heartily affirms and
echoes the demand for the nomination of
Levi P. Morton as president of the United
States.
Later the state democracy accepted the
fusion ticket nominated at the republi
can county convention. There was much
enthusiasm manifested. The platform
adopted denounces Tammany Hall and
promises to keep the fight against the
organization.

A Common Praetioe.
It's quite common far ioqu trades peo
ple to pertuade a customer to take eome
other article instead of that called for. It
ia sometimes called substitution, but it’s
fl'h’ttng the customer out of that which bo
wanted. It is always done for a mem uo
tjve. The dealer who does this has uocou
sldtratiou for his customer. It’s like get
ting ride of something in which the dealer
himself was swindled and yet he must get
mooey out of it by deceiving the customer.
We B>y to 1 be readers of this journal that
when yon ask for Simmons Liver Reg
ulator don’t take anything else instead—
it’s the best liver medicine. The advertis
ing is increasing the demand for it and the
people who call for it should get it, espe
cially ao because there is no liver medietas
like Simmons Liver Regulator. Insist upon
having it and note that the Red Z is on the
front of the package. 3
A TRIBUTE OF RESPECT
Resolutions Adopted by the Birmingham Bar
to the Memory of the Hon
M. A. Mason,
A meeting of the Birmingham bay w-.s
held in the city court room yesterday
morning to take action on the death of
Hon. M. A. Mason. Mr. John P. Tillman
presided and W. R. Terry acted as sec
retary.
Speeches in eulogy of the deceased were
made by the following: Hon. O. W. Un
derwood. Col. Sumter Lea, Capt W. C.
Ward, John W. Tomlinson, J. C. Car
michael. A poem upon his life and char
acter, composed by Tax Assessor S. L.
Robertson, was read by Capt. John M.
Martin.
The committee to draft resolutions
suitable to the memory of the deceased
then presented the following, which were
adopted:
Again we are called together to mourn
the loss .of a member of the bar of Jef
ferson county. On Saturday, the 2d day
of September. 1895, In the prime of hu
manhood death took from us our friend
and brother lawyer, Michael A. Mason.
Born in the state of Kentucky, he came
to Alabama about ten years ago and en
tered upon the practice of law in the
courts of Jefferson county. Those qual
ities of manly courage and sterling In
tegrity, which he possessed to a marked
degree, soon attracted a host of friends
about him. They recognized his ability
as a leader, and insisted upon his rep
resenting the town of Avondale on the
democratic county executive commit
tee. In the fall of 1892 he was elected
as chairman of the county campaign
committee, and in that capacity his la
bors were rewarded by this county giving
the democratic presidential ticket the
largest majority that has ever been given
in an election. At the meeting of the
county convention In the spring of 1891
he was unanimously chosen chairman of
the democratic county executive com
mittee. which position he held at the
time of his death. The fact that he al
ways possessed the confidence an respect
of both political friends and foes bears
testimony that he never stooped to ques
tionable methods to obtain success.
Your committee beg leave to recom
mend the adoption of the following reso
lutions:
Resolved. That the bar of Birmingham
have learned with deep sorrow of the
death of Michael A. Mason, a member of
this bar.
Resolved,That as a lawyer he was pos
sessed of an honest and accurate legal
mind; that his character as a man, his
fairness and courtesy to the courts be
fore which he practiced, and his faith
fulness to his clients, a<£ left ua as a
monument that will ever tend to reflect
dignity and respect upon oUr professiorf.
Resolved, That as a political leader he
was wise In council and fertile in re
sources, and in all things a high-toned
and chlvalrlc gentleman.
Resolved, That the members of this
bar, with whom he was so intimately as
sociated, Extend to his bereaved family
their condolence and sympathy.
Resolved, That a copy of these resolu
tions be sent to his family, and that cop
ies be presented to the courts of this
county with the request that they be
spread upon the minutes thereof.

Trouble at Hova’s Capital.
London, Oct. 7.—A dispatch to the Pall
Mall Gazette from Antananarivo says
that on September 25 a natinve mob made
a raid upon the British cemetery at the
Hova capital and broke open a number
of coffins and mutilated the bodies con
tained therein. The mob also made an
attack upon the French observatory,
which they destroyed, and for a time
menaced the destruction of the house of
the French residents. The two armies
are now in sight of the capital and the
fight Incident to their skirmishes can be
plainly heard. Native soldiers are flock
ing into town and reinforcements are be
ing sent to the front. A number of prom
inent Hovas have left the city upon what
is supposed to be a diplomatic mission,
and the general supposition is that their
object is to treat with the representa
tives with a view of arranging a cessa
tion of hostilities.
