In the Hay wood-Skinner habeas corpus cue the examination of witnesses was con cluded to-tlaj and there was argument by counsel. Diagrams of the scene of the killing v were introduced by the prosecution, and the defence used these with the purpose of controverting the evidence of druggist Gwaltnej. as to his having aeen the' shooting from his window. The prosecution put on witnesses who testified that Hocntt, a clerk, a wlt- nesi for, the defence, whose testi mony was that he saw Skinner strike Haywood, had told them he saw no altercation.. Witnesses were Introduced who testified that Hocutt's character was bad, . while the defence introduced others who said it was good. The defence Intro duced witnesses who testified that Representative Simpson had told a different story to them than that which he made on the stand and also witnesses who swore that druggist Gwaitney had done the same. There was no new evidence. It had been siren out that no argument would be had, but the prosecution in sisted on argument. James H. Pou and W. EL Day spoke for Haywood, urging that there was simply an al tercation and that Haywood got out his pistol after he was struck quicker than Skinner and shot They asked flw Hall at fiamwi tint .TfturivA "R C. 8trong and Donnell Gilliam spoke for the prosecution and urged that the case was not one that was bailable and that the law waa against this. Argu ment is limited to two hours a side and this will be finished in the morn-ldg. THE POSTOFFICE FRAUDS.

Abont Four Hundred Hen at Norfolk, Va , OntofWork. By Telesrapn to the Horning star. Norfolk, Va , June 1. About 400 men, consisting of engineers and boats' crews, are thrown out of work. The New York, Philadelphia and Norfolk rail way, the Norfolk and Southern rail way, the Old Dominion Steamship Company and the Chesapeake and Al bemarle Towing Company, are putting up the strongest fight against the engi neers, each one of the above compa nies havina withdrawn half a dozen vessels. The Old Dominion haa tied up five steamer that ply between Nor folk and tidewater points in Virginia and North Carolina. Traffic here has been pretty badly lnteref ered with. Thirty-seven steam vessels are tied up to-day as a result of the refusal of vessel owners to grant the new scale of wages adopted by the Marine En gineers' Association. Most of these vessels are tug boats in the .river, har- oor ana Day service, many owners hate complied with the demands of the engineers. ' BASEBALL.

Within the space of two minutes to-day a tor nado dealt death and destruction to the City of Gainesville and environs. killing at least one hundred people, wounding one hundred and fifty more, levelling one hundred cottages to the ground and tearing two stories off the tmitnmv nf iVttk riilnMvl 11a mttnn mill Of the killed, probably two-thirds were women and children who were operatives in the cotton mills. The death list Includes, but . about six negroes. The storm came from the aouth out of almost a clear sky, swooping down on the Gainesville cotton mills, near the Southern Railway station, at fifteen minutes before one o'clock. With a terrible crash the two upper stories of the building were swept away, leaving thirty-two operatives dead in the room. The cy- 1 i.1 A i 11 A 1 I A cione tnen swept arouna ine ouisairis ofithe city to the suburb of New Hol land, two milM ivit whnrA ar In. cated the Pacolet cotton mills, one of the largest Institutions of this charac ter in the South. The plant of the Pacolet Company waa not seriously damaged, but probably one hundred cottages standing near by, occupied by operatives who were employed in the mills,' were completely demolished, killing thirty people. These were mostly women and children, as the heads of the families were all in the factory at work. The store of Joseph Logan, near the Gainesville cotton mills, was crushed to ruin by the wind, and eight men, who had taken refuge in it, were in stantly killed. The Jonea general store met a similar fate, and in the ruins two people, one man and one woman, were crushed to death. The woman was Mrs. Jones, wife of the proprietor. Ke porta from White Sulphur, seven miles from Gainesville, are to the ef fect that the storm struck there with terrific force, killing a dozen people. This, however, is not absolutely con firmed. Dr. Smith, city physician of Gainesville, says he has visited one hundred wounded and has personal knowledge of one hundred dead. Tha nrnnnvtv 1ns at tha Tal&t mills occasioned by the destruction of the cottages and outbuildings is esti mated at $75,000 and the Gainesville cotton mills are damaged to the extent of $40,000. The local physicians were unable to cope with the situation and surgeons and medical supplies were ordered sent from Atlanta. A special train carrying a corps of surgeons and sup plies arrived to-lnght, making the to tal number of physicians now in the city about forty. A meeting was held to-night to organize a relief committee, at which it was decided to is sue an appeal to the public for funda to assist the mill operatives who are thrown out of work. Gainesville, it is stated, can take care of those now mfFpiHncr hut th. will be considerable occasioned by the closing of the mills. The physicians who have assisted in the relief state that the scenes at the mills were appalling, the victims being crushed and mangled in every con ceivable manner. The bodies of most of the dead In the two cotton mills were fearfully torn and mangled; the skulls of many of them were crushed and the limbs broken; some were torn and crushed about the abdomen, with the viscera visibly protudlng. The local physicians who gave first aid to me in j urea say the sights were horrible beyond description. The death list is expected to be of much greater magnitude by morning, as nearly thirty are believed to be hurt beyond hope of recovery. Gainesville has only twelve local physicians and their services were found to be entirely Inadequate to the situation. Surgeons came in to-night, however, from Atlanta and several other points south. The number in the citv la now about fm-tv nri .11 possible attention is being given the injured people. Supplies will be rushed into the stricken city as rapidly aa possible. Gainesville feels able to take care of the immediate needs of the suffering, but unless supplies are received much distress is likely to result, as the fam ilies visited by death and mutilation were almost entirely dependent upon their daily labor for support. Eighteen persona were killed in the city between the center of town and the railroad station, where four large stores were blown down. The storm had driven many persons into these stores for refuge and they were prob ably all killed. There were 500 per sons at work in the cotton mill when the cyclone struck. The mill was a lareewsiory ouuaing. Xao first story was left standing but badly wrecked. The second and third floors were completely, demolished and the em ployes cansrht under tha wWm and mangled. ' It la now estimated there are at least seventy-five people under the wreck age of the third floor. It is not known how many persona on the second floor of the building were killed. Thereof of the electric car barn was lifted and the .building badly damaged. The railroad depot suffered also. The uainesvuie cotton mills were blown aown-ana nearly every employe in the building killed, including a large number of children. The Southern depot was blown down. The Gaines ville Iron works were demolished and several persons perished in the wreck. The Gainesville cotton oil mills were blown down. The old Piedmont hotel, now used aa a school and apartment nouse, was razed and half a dozen or more people were killed in it. The Richmond hotel was wrecked and several perished along with it. One hundred and twenty-five cottages, a school house and a church were blown away in the negro section of the town. Five brick stores on the Main street of Gainesville were swept away. In all, two hundred buildings are demol ished here. The cyclone went on to New Hol land, and It is believed at least seventy five people are killed there. Neither the Arlington hotel nor Brenau Col lege waa in the track of the tornado, and they were therefore safe with their occupants. The tornado first hit the town be low the Southern Railway depot It dropped almost unnoticed and with out any realization of what had bap- Eened, it had ripped down brick dwel ngs, frame houses, - churches and School ttntlrifn f thaw wava structures of paper. . One of the first buildings to fall waa the Gainesville cotton; mill, a three-story structure. The third and second stories" were shaved off smoothly. About 600 were working in tbem at the time, but a great portion of tbem were in tbe low er story and escaped. In the five brick buildings on the main street about eighteen people Were killed,' most of them employes in the store. A fire started in this pile of wreck age and tLe fire' department was un able to get to it because of the obstruc tions in the street As soon as the storm had raz;d the buildings those who were not disabled at once went to work at rescuing the victims. All the stores in the business sections that were not bit dosed their doors and every male citizen who could lend a hand promptly joined in the work of rescue This work is. now going, on and the piles of dead in the path of the storm are being identified and given to relatives as rapidly as pos sible.

A Qreat Conflict Between Employers nod Employes 75,000 Workers RefoBe to Go to Work. , Bv Xslecrapb to tne Mornins Btar. Philadelphia, June 1. It did not need the assertion of the executive board of the textile workers to-day to carry conviction that the greatest conflict betweenIemployers4tnd employes ever seen in Philadelphia, is now on. The crowd of idle men, women and children that congregate on the streets of the city's textile mill districts formed a story without words. It waa estimated this evening by leaders in the strike that more than 75e000 textile workers refused to go to work to-day as a pro test against the employers refusing to reduce the working time of those workers from sixty to fifty-five hours a week. There are about 600 firms in Phila delphia, and with the exception of those which have agreed to the de mands of their employes they will not make any concession. The situation at the close of Cne day was summarized by the executive board in a statement which says: "We have proved what we said all- alanfir that wnnlH iiIah plant where our demands were re fused. The textile manufactory at Philadelphia Is practically at a stand still, except In those mills that have aiflrned our new achednla. 11Wtv. eight firms, employing 15,000 out of 120,900, have conceded the demands." The ingrain carpet weavers held a big meeting to-day and reaffirmed their demand for a ten per cent.. increase In wages in addition' to the demand for the 55-hour week. In reply to the con tention of the manufacturers, that be cause of competition elsewhere in the trade they could grant neither the advance In pay nor the shorter week, the meeting issued a statement by President Jos. Settle in which he says thatiflthe Ingrain manufacturers of Kensington would form a combination and adhere to a uniform selling price much of the complaint of injurious competition' of outside mill districts would be done away with."

With gas and electric lights extinguished, the' water works shut down and the city .practically at the mercy of the first fire that ahall break out, with rail road transportation feeble and uncer tain, Kansas City may, if the waters do not recede within the next two or three days, be compelled to fight for her very life. And to-night the skies are dark and lowering the rain is ..in i ii . laiuuK ucavuy more stormy weatner is sweeping up from tbe . west, and the insatiable riyer la stoutly holding Its ovn. It is practically sta tionary to-night, but what the flood has it keeps, and there is no certain promise of when it will recede. The stace to-nicht In 34 9 Hhlnf rvtnnn of the! Weather Bureau, says that wbile the outlook is for continued rains, it would: necessitate a very heavy fall If the present high water ia to continue. The first authentic information from Kansas City, Kansas, waa re ceived to-night. In that district 20, 000, people are homeless. Many have been drowned, but the number cannot be estimated. The property loss haa been heavy. , The situation there is a parallel to the situation here apparently no better, and no wore. There is no great probability that that there will be further loss of life, if the river does not rise very suddenly. All through the wholesale district and in the eaat and west bottoms, there are people still In houses many of them anxious to be taken away a goodly number of them content to remain where they are, with all the chances or the flood. The police have done wonders to-day rescuing people, and have probably brought 250 of them Safe to triM htoh rrrmmA - sunrise. One hundred; and fifty of these were brought to the viaduct at Twelfth street and the others were saved in the east and the west bottoms by boats. Twenty people were taken from the Martin school and thirty from O'Brien lodging house in the easi Doiiom. xne rest of them were brought in singly. To-night, in the east and west bottoms, a number of obstinate people are atill clinging to their homes. Although the police have run boats beneath their win dows and offered to save them, there are few to leave and they will take their chances for another night at least. There Is no possible way of getting at the names of the dead and no chance of forming any estimate that can confidently be termed accu rate. It ia likely, however, that the number of fatalities in Kansas City, Mo., will approximate fifty. Down in the wholesale district peo ple at dusk to-night were waving white cloths to attract attention. The condition of some of these people ia pitiable. They have been held pris oners for two daya, threatened with death by drowning, and at one time by fire. For the most part they were whboui ioou, ana ior Z4 nours with out drinking water. Every effort is bein? made, and thav will n h to-morrow unless the .water rises. At Topekf, Kansas. Topkka, Kansas, June L To-night, at 8 o'clock, the water in the Kansas river had gone down fourteen Inches and la falling at the rate of half an Inch an hour. From Manhattan, up the river, comes the report that the water la slowly falling. At Wamego the same condition prevails and it is now reasonably certain that the waters here will steadily recede. At this time there are thirty-four known dead. The distress of the sufferers is being relieved. Those who are atill in North Tonekaare being supplied with food and they are in practically no danger unless it be from sickness. One of tha mmt Hlatinrfm f..fn... fc 1V.IUIH of the situation now is the possibility that there will be a spread of conta gious diseases. People of all classes are huddled together in houses not large enough for them, and on all aides they are surrounded by water. Doctors and medical relief cannot reach the sufferers to any great extent. This afternoon . a case of diphtheria was reported from the woollen mill in North Topeka, where there is a large number of children in addition to the adults. There is also a case or two of scarlet fever among the refugees on the north side. Hundreds of cases of measles are prevalent among the chil dren. The possibility of an epidemic Is now the most serious thing the city must contend with. The physicians of the city, under the direction of the city health board, are making heroic efforts to check the threatened calamity. Provisions nf all ftvt aa Ko..i m -w. v VSWUUJIIF scarce in Topeka. No freight trains uvo entered ine city ior several days, and as large quantities of groceries were destroyed in North Topeka there will not be enough for the people to eat if the present situation lasts much longer. It ia charged that certain of the merchants have formed a combi nation for the purpose of controlling the prices of provisions. . f At Knnsns City, Mo -- Kansas City, Mo., June'l.
