About 3 o'clock the wind increased mightily in violence, and at :J:.1) Jersey City began to have tlie worst storm experienced In Its history. Blasts of wind carried widespread destruction. Two wind storms seemingly met In the neigh horhood of Newark avenue and Harrod street and a cyclonic condi tion resulted. 1 lorseH standing in Newark avenue and the wagons to which they were attached were blown , over. Tele Krapli poles of St. Mary's Roman Catholic church, the largest In the city fell backward upon the church, striking the roof. Piles of brick from tho spire crashed from tho roof down on tho pew's. Two blocks south of St. Mar; s church and nearly on a line with it on Newark avenue is tho Bijou Theatre. "The Man Who Dared" company was rehearsing for an opening for the theatre for the sea Non. The lions that are used in the play were In their cages on the tage w hen a terrific rush of wind made the building tremble. Warn ing cries caused the performers to leave the stage not a second too soon. Bricks came down Irom the high walls, ruining the stage and bending iu the lions' cage. The lions roared in terror. As the performers rushed out a shout was raised in the street that the lions were loose and the crowd w hich had sought shelter in the corridor fled panic stricken. The lions did not escape, but their cages were hit and the beasts were cut by the bricks but the bars held them. On the south side of Newark avenue, opposite the theatre the roofs of twelve three-story buildings were ripped off. Great pieces of tin fell in the streets. The roofs were so completely ruined that the rain soon deluged the buildings. Van Vorst Park, the ornament of the most pretentious part of the down-town community, was the wene of the storm's fiercest work. Trees that were the growth of many decades were uprooted or broken off as though they were made of pipe flay. A piece of the roof of the Union League building which stands iu York street, opposite the middle of the ark, was lifted high . and carried over to the park and dropped on the broken remnant of a tree. No one was reported as killed or injured. The storm in New York city was confined to a heavy downpour of rain with a violent wind. It was the heaviest in the Bronx where the streets were flooded. The cut through which the Harlem division of the New York Central and Hud son River Railroad runs from Mel rose to Williams bridge, was flooded to a depth of. from two to four feet. At the Fordham station there was considerable sand on the railroad tracks and trains were unable to get through. Bi'aatrous Floods in Pennaylyania Four Men Killed. Philadelphia, Pa., Aue. .24.

The People of Zapat Comaty Bad Condition. la Very San Antonio, Tex., Aug. 25. Reports ioday from Zapata county there are news that the poor classes there are facing starvation. They must have immediate help In the way of food or the results will be terrible. Branch water has failed nd cattle are too weak to travel and are dying rapidly. The country is literally burned up by drought. There Is not a green thing to be seen except cactus plants. Zapata county Is 60 miles irom the nearest railroad and whatever way food is sent to the farmers in the famine stricken place must be hauled from Laredo, a two-days' trip at best. ' Mayor Hicks, of this city, has started a relief fund and has already sent a small sum of money to Laredo ta be used In 'buying food for the sufferers, but what he has i sent is barely a drop In the bucket. Relief work will be continued here. Noth ing has been heard here from the War Department in answer to a re quest for rations sent by Congress man Kleberg. The New Plow. Winston-Republican, One of the latest things in the way of farming utensils is the elec tric plow. The first plows used in this country were projielled' bv men and women. Then the ox and tho mule and the horse came in use, and finallp man learned how to make his plow so he could ride and let the horse or other beast of burden do all the "sweating." Now the farmer comes out with his electric plow, and instead of making one or two or three furrows. he attaches enough - plows to clean up a whole field at one or two swiies. Conrad Meissner of Fred- ricksburg, Germany is accredited with the invention of this plow. It is operated somewhat on the plan of the electric car. exceot that well, we will just quote from th piece from which we get our infor mation: "It consists of two electric moters operating winding drums and separate carriages, which may be placed at any required distance apart, only one moter being connected witli the main feed wire. To sup ply iower to the second motor a feed cable lying parallel with the raction cable is readjusted at every trip of the plow to follow the fatter down the field. The mechanism is so adjusted that when once set in motion the apparatus practically operates itself, moving tho carriages brward at the beginning of each trip to bring the plow shares in position for the next row of furrows The plows are attached to a two wheeled truck which is pulled back and forth across the field, movinsr forward at the end of each set of urrows as long as the power is turn ed on."

" , EXPELLED FROM PIERCE CITY- NECROS DRIVEN OUT FOR CRIMES COM MITTED BY THEIR RACE. Several Honaea Were Burned and One red Negro was Cremated in hi home. Others Chased From the City. Washington Post. Pierce City, Mo., Aug. 20. For nearly fifteen hours ending about noon to-day this town of 3,000 peo ple has been in the hands of a mob of armed white?, dptermined to drive every negro from its precincts. In addition to the- lynching last night of William Godley, accused of the wanton murder of Miss Gazelle Wild, and the shooting to death of his grandfather, French Godley, the mob today cremated Peter Hampton, an aged negro; in his home, set the torch to the houses of five blacks, and with the aid of State militia rifles, stolen from the local com pany's arsenal, drove dozens of negroes irom town. Alter noon the excitement died down, the mob gradually dispersing, more from lack of negroes upon whom to wreak their hatred than for any other cause. Many of the negroes who fled from the city are hiding in the surrounding woods, while others have gone greater distances in seek ing safety. Every negro has left the town ex cept a few railway porters known to be respectable, but these must al so leave. The citizens of Pierce City say that as negroes have com mitted several crimes in the last ten years, none shall live there in the future, the same feeling already existing at Monett, four miles east of Pierce City, the end of the 'Frico passenger division.

AN IMMIGRATION SCHEME TO SWINDLE THE GOVERNMENT. OFFICIALS INVOLVED IN THE FRAUD. Chinese With the Letter A Marked Their CerUScates Passed Wit host Ques tionThe Lttr Indicated That Thsy Had Paid the Price. Washington, August 24 Proba bly the most important arrests ever made in connection with the smug gling of Chinese across the Mexican border Into the United States were - a a aiaue yesieraay in Arizona, when Wm. M. Hoey, collector of customs at Nogales; B. F. Jossey, an immi grant inspector, Frank How, a China man living in Nogales, and another Chinaman living at Clifton, Mexico, just across the border from Nogales, were taken into custody by special agents of the Treasury and Secret Service operatives. Other arrests are expected to iollow within a day or two. It Is stated that with two or three exceptions, the whole cus toms and immigration administra tion at Nogales is involved. Some time ago an official of the Treasury Department, having Nogales as his headquarters, wrote the Department that he had reason to believe the official force at that point was cor rupt and that Chinese in large num bers were being smuggled across the border for a consideration. A Secret Service operative was sent there at once and plans laid to eecure evidence against the persons under suspicion. Several Chinamen were furnished with money and sent to buy their way through the official cordon. This was accom plished without difficulty, the price demanded being from $50 to $200. The Secret Service men also arrang ed with one or two employes whose nonesty has been tested, to go into the collector's office at a certain time and demand a share of the monev being received from the Chinamen and to be admitted into the combi nation, so that they might get their share of the proceeds of future deals. This was reluctantly agreed to and considerable sums of money were handed over in the presence of a Secret Service man who had ore- viously secreted himself in a nearby office closet. The officials eoon found that Chinamen who presented a certificate marked with the letter A were allowed to proceed without question, while thoee having certifi cates that did not bear this cabalistic mark were turned back without cere mony. Later on it developed that the letter A on a certificate indicated that the amount demanded had been paid. Several Chinamen were sent through with the requisite A mark on their certificate made by one of the Secret Service men. The ut most care and secrecy was maintain ed from the first to secure positive proof against each man under suspi cion. A special United States attor ney will be detailed to prosecute the persons Arrested. Hoey was ap pointed collector about a year and a half ago. His home is in Muncie. Ind. Jossey came from the State of Washington. The number of Chinamen who nave oougnt tneir way into the United States through the conniv ance of the Nogales officials, is not known, but it is believed to be arge. A special agent has been sent to Nogales to take charge, if he finds it necessary. Two Men Shot In an Attempt to Driye Negroes From Work. Knoxville, Tenn., Aug 24.
