The United States quarantine station was destroyed. Considerable damage was done to railroads and crops. Nearly all the wires are down, trains are delayed and there has been no mail from Grand Isle since Thursday. Several ferries stopped running today on account of the roughness of the river.

The storm which struck New Orleans early yes terday evening continued its fury with heavy downpours of rain until daylight, doing no seTious damage in the city, but prostrating telegraph and tele phone wires in all directions. A large section of Louisiana felt the effects jt the blow and there are reports of con siderable cane being 'blown down. Nu merous rumors were spread of less to shipping on Lake Ponchartradn, but at West End and Milneburg nothing con firmatory of these rumors has been received. The big. excursion steamer, New Camelia, came through the storm in fine shape and reached the city on time today. Lake Ponchartrain was a miniature sea all night and pounded the revetments all along the West End and Milneburg, but no structures were lost. Through the new canal, however, the sea water was backed and traffic over the road suspended. The L. & N. road is the only trunk line that reports trouble. Its trains were tied up this morning, the eastern and coast In bound trains being f ar behind and the outgoing train being held to await the arrival of the others. Damage is reported to the bridge at St. Catherine, and the sea water was backed up against the track at many places along the Mississippi sound. Seeral hundred feet of the track were undermined and train crews were sent out to anchor it. STORM ON GULF COAST. Three storm-bound trains on the L. & 'N. reached here at 10:30, bearing Superintendent Marshall and other offi cials of the road. They said that there was an eight-foot washout at Lockout, seventeen miles from New Orleans. The break has been repaired and trains are expected to run as usual. The schooner J. J. 'Clarke ran against the Rigolets bridge at 10:30 last night and turned turtle and went under the (bridge. iShe was loaded wdth merchan- Valuable Mineral I Property.

The Anthracite Miners Will Not Cease Work on Monday. Board Listens to Appeal of of Merchants and Ofhers. Issues a Statement Regarding the Miners' Grievances. More Than 100,000 Ready to Oo Out at the Call- AN ORDER TO STRIKE ON MON DAY WAS EXPECTED YESTER DAY IN THE HAZLETON AND WILKESBARRE REGIONS FOR EIGN MINERS HA DARMED THEMSBLVS AND RIOTOUS TIMES WERE EXPECTED. Indianapolis, Sept. 8. The executive board of the United Mine Workers late tonight issued a statement postponing the strike for a few days. This decision was taken as a result of appeals by letter and telegraph from merchants and others in the anthracite regions, all of which urged a postpone ment of action and attempt to compro mise. The executive board's statement re views the situation, pointing out the gradual reduction in wages by the sys tem of dockage, until it is no longer bearable, but in order that the operat ors may have a further opportunity to avert the strike, and more time may be had for negotiations, the miners' exec utive board does not deem a strike on September 10 advisable, but the miners are advised to hold themselves in readi ness to cease work at once If the pres ent negotiations fail. RIOTOUS TIMES 'EXPECTED . Hazelton, Pa., Sept. 8. Committees of the union miners of three districts held a secret conference today and a message of some kind was sent to headquarters alt Indianapolis: Alt hands absolutely refused to give out any statement. It is generally believed there will be a strike. Those who re fuse to go out will be driven out, and. a riotous time is looked for. Every for eigner has provided himself wilth fire arms. The gunsmiths have teen busy four weeks repairing arms owned by miners, mostly Hungarians and Ital ians, who have been buying largely of cartridges. VAST HOST READY FOR THE CALL. Wilkesbarre, Pa., Sept. 8. The de velopments of the last few days bear out 'the assertions of the leaders that ninety per cerit. of the miners in flje anthracite coal region will obey the or der to strike on Monday, or as soon af ter as the call is made. In every part of the coal region the ranks of the union has been swelled by large bod ies of. recruits. Over 2.000 have joined in the last few days. There is no evi dence (to prove the assertions of the op erators that only 20 per cent, of the men will strike. Experts say the men will be able to exist for two months without assistance from the union. They will get their pay for Auguslt next week, and this will help greatly. Anticipating violence, the sheriffs in the various towns are taking the names and addresses of those who have vol unteered to serve as deputy sheriffs. The estimates of the number that are ready to strike range from 12,000 to 15,000. THE PLAGUE IN GLASGOW. Glasgow, Sept. 8.
