WHAT THE ANARCHISTS AND OTHERS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT IT. Tho Condemned Men Not Without Hope—*Tho Police Say They Intend to Clean Out |he Whole ■ Nest of Anarchists—Foreign Notes. The Condemned Anarchists’ Female Relatives at Work. Associated Press. Chicago, August 21.—There was a meeting last night of all the female relatives of the sentenced anarchists, reinforced by men from all parts of the city. Miss Spies subsequently said over four thousand dollars was subscribed to the fund to carry the case to the supreme court. Miss Spies also said : “We have been w ached and hounded by detectives and newspaper men until we are • nearly harassed to death, but we got away with them all this time and have had our meeting. The law may beat us by Judge Garey’s rulings and by the special pleas made by Mr. Grinnell, but the supreme court never will endorse or rule the same. Think of my brother being hanged, when only trying to do the best he could to help the working men.” It is reported that Mrs. Holmes made an energetic plea to the meeting in favor of awaiting the decision of the supreme court. The women said they were not in any fears of starvation or being distrained for rent, as the oppressed of all nations would come to their succor. When the meeting dispersed it was an early morning hour and the women all embraced and declared they would stand together. Gen. W. H. Parsons, brother of the convicted anarchist, says every effort will be made to reverse the verdict, and the case will be carried to the supreme court of the United States if necessary. The leading exception will probably be on the point of the refusal by Judge Garey to give for the defense an instruction that all men have a right to peaceably assemble and to repel by force any attempt either by the authorities or private individuals to break up such meeting. On this point an attempt will be made to carry the case to the United States supreme court, in case the supreme court of the state refuses a new trial. Gustave Belz, managing editor of the Arbeiter Zietung, says they have $5,000 already to contesf the case and he expects much more. Attorney Grinnell says rigid measures will be instituted against the Arbeiter. Any reference to alleged bribery of jurors will cause its suppression. He said he had a list of fifty men who would be arrested at the first outbreak. He will require the best of good behavior from the anarchists. Joe Gruenhut, city tenement house inspector and socialist, says the verdict will be the signal for a labor revolt. It is a class verdict—the verdict of capitalists in the interest of capital and violates the principles of liberty and justice. He said they were convicted to crush the labor movement, but they would never hang, for everything money could do would be done. Geo. Rogers, member of the state executive board of the Knights of Labor, says the verdict is just and the knights will not aid in attempts to secure a reversal. The anarchists do not hold a legitimate place among the laboring man’s friends. The verdict will call attention to the fact that the law is a pretty safe thing to lean on, and will have a wholesome effect on the socialists. The remedy for labor abuses is in the ballot. Capt. Shaack, who secured most of the evidenc# against the convicted anarchists, says the anarchist business in Chicago has just begun. When he is through they will all either be hung, in prison or driven from the city. He declines to say whether he has made additional airests or whether he has warrants, out for any, but says he can get them whenever he wants them, and intimates that some of the women will eventually be brought to trial. He says had Schnaubelt been brought to trial, testimony could have been produced corroborative of that given by Gilmer and Thompson, but which, owing to Schnaubel not being on trial, was excluded. Scliaack regrets that Balthazar Rue was not indicted for murder as he could have been convicted. He and Most may yet be indicted. Capt. Schaack says, had Schroder told the same story on the stand as he did to him, Neebe would have shared the same fate as the others, but he was worked upon by socialists under the lead of Capt. Walthers, who was at the head of the armed sections and modified his testimony. Ten policemen from Capt. Schaacks’ force spent the night at die jail as a special guard for the anarchist convicts. These were relieved by another squad this morning. The prisoners held an extended conference with Capt. Black this morning regarding the programme to be carried out to test the verdict and prevent, if possible, the judgment being carried out Storms in Newloundland. Associated Press. Ottawa, Ont., Augus: 21.—A telegram from the governor of Saint Pierre Miguelon says a most violent storm swept over the Island on Wednesday night. Buildings were blown down and considerable damage done to the shipping. Two vessels were driven ashore and wrecked and many men drowned. Long Island was strewn with wrecks of fishing vessels. Fears are entertained for the safety of the Grand Banks fleet. Damage to shipping and property in different parts of Newfoundland is very great and eighty lives are reported lost. In the House ol Commons. Associated Press. LONDON, August 21.—In the house of commons last night Lord Randolph Churchill announced that the government would oppose all notices of motions and private members’ bills in order not to prolong the session. Mr. Labouchere occasioned laughter by asking if the government would agree to refer such bills to a royal commission. A Russian Steamer Burned. Associated Press. London, August 21.—A despatch from St. Petersburg says a passenger steamer plying on the river Volga at Saratov, capital of the province of Saratov, Russia, was burned and 200 lives lost.

Mills, to represent the ninth congressional district in the lower house of congress, does not take anybody by surprise. Mr. Mills’ work in congress seems to suit the people of the district, and as long as that is the case we fail to see why anybody should grumble at the victory the lucky congressman achieves every two years. —Mr. M.

Galveston Flooded and WaveWashed—Heavy Loss of Life and Property at Indianola— How the People Fared at Victoria Special Telegram to The Day. Galveston, August 21, 3 p. m.—The terrible effects of the storm, which began with a stiff gale from the east Thursday morning and swept with such frightful velocity and destructive force over the city until Thursday night and until Friday noon, is now fully apparent today. Beginning at the foot of Ninth street on the bay’ shore extending around the eastern portion of the city to the gulf; thence west along thebeach until beyond the farthest line of the city, is one scene of destruction. Everything habitable on the gulf shore, except the Beach hotel, is gone— fallen before the mighty wind and tumultuous billows that swept across the sand hills far into the city until the waters of the gulf and bay met, in some places, overturning houses, carrying fences, outhouses and cisterns upon its waves as if they were egg shells. While this wild scourge was at its utmost fury, affrighted families were fleeing from the rolling, tottering houses, and struggling in the water waist deep to places of safety narrowly escaping death from the flying and floating timbers which were driven with great force through the wind and water. Dalas News, of this Morning. Galveston, August 20.—At midnight last night the wind howled and shrieked with fearful velocity, hurling tumultuous waves over and across and far into the city, and all that portion of the city east of Fifteenth street and south of avenue H was a mass of seething water, while contiguous to the beach a'frightful scene of desolation and destruction was in p rogross. Houses careened and went down before the fury of the gale like shells, and affrighted men,.women and children were frantically struggling through the boiling, surging water for places of safety. Many narrow escapes from injury from floating timbers and from drowning occurred, and tonight hundreds who occupied cosy houses in apparent security yesterday lodged at hotels, churches and convents with friends more fortunate, or in other public buildings with scarcely sufficient clothing to keep them comfortable, while all else was swallowed up and destroyed by the mad waves. It is estimated that FULLY 150 HOUSES have been wrecked and ruined, while a great many more were either knocked from foundations or flooded with water and badly damaged. At 10 o’clock today the wind, which had reached a velocity of 50 miles an hour, began to abate and the waters to recede, which was followed by heavy dashes of rain. As the evening approached, however, the wind shifted slightly to the south and began to freshen and at 9 o’clock tonight had increased to a gale and it is feared that before morning we shall witness another , wild hegira from the flood tide which sets in at 2 a. m. The principal buildings which were totally destroyed on the beach side were: The Beach Rink, where the state democratic convention was held, the Breeze saloon and a large twostory building directly opposite across the street railway; the Surf and Pagoda bath houses; the destruction of the fence and all the buildings of the interstate drill grounds. The lower floor and office of the Beach Hotel were flooded, but the building remains good, although furniture, carpets and bedding on the first and second stories are considerably damaged by the salt water. Many famlies have lost their all and are destitute, while others lost but a portion, but it is estimated by conservative men that the loss will reach $200,000, and possibly more. Victoria, August 21,12:30 a. m.—A special train has just arrived from Indianola bringing sad news as to that place. The relief party that went down on it report the following: The special train arrived within four miles of Indianola at 2:30 p. m. The track about two and onehalf miles between there and Indianola was washed very badly and part gone. We walked to within onehalf mile of’town in water waist deep, but could go no further. We saw Mr. Clements, the railroad agent, across the bayou. The bridge was washed away. He said we should have a train there early in the morning, as everybody wants to get away. They have nothing to eat and no clothes. It is reported that the lower end of the town is gone. There are supposed to be many lives lost, as many persons are missing. The only body found was the sisterinlaw of Mr. Hodges of Cuero, Texas. —Among the missing are : Dr. Lewis, Capt. Reed, Dr. Rosencranz, Mrs. Sheppard and family, Mrs. Hodges and two children. Henry "Sheppard was found across the lake badly bruised but still alive. Mrs. Max Luther lost her two children: one of them died in her arms. A special will leave here this morning and full particulars will be obtained on its return. Victoria, August 20.—A disastrous wind storm visited our city this morning, leaving destruction and desolation in its path. The freight depot and the Masonic hall, both large buildings, are total wrecks. The whole colored population was almost literally swept from the face of the earth. Two church steeples were blown down and two churches unroofed. The highschool building and jail were considerably damaged. Altogether, there were about seventyfive houses completely demolished and 118 more or less damaged. Very few buildings escaped unhurt. All the trees and most of the shrubbery in the city were blown down. The loss is roughly estimated at $100,000. Fortunately no lives were lost, and no persons were seriously injured. A LIVELY AND BUSY SCENE. What a Waco Firm is Doing in tho Manufacture , of Vehicles. It was a busy scene that met a Day reporter’s eyes as he stepped into the establishment of Reese & Son at the corner of Washington and Third streets yesterday. A force of twelve or fifteen men, ineluding blacksmiths, woodworkers, painters and trimmers was at work and parts of buggies, wagons and vehicles were scattered on every side. Reese & Son have won an enviable reputation for their work and the jobs turned out from their establishment are equal in appearance, pattern and finish to the finest foreign work and far superior in durability. Special attention is paid to repairs and several renovated vehicles exhibited to the reporter could not be distinguished, by the best judges, from perfectly new work. Among the new jobs shown is a heavy float built especially for the use of Sanger Brothers in their wholesale dry goods business, which is a model in its way. Besides rush of business in the way of vehicles for repair this live firm has orders ahead for several new jobs which will be turned out soon. One of the Most Promising Young Men in Alabama. The following is taken from the Moulton, Alabama, Advertiser. The young judge alluded to is a son of our townsman, Dr. G. E. Kumpe: “Hon. James C. Kumpe, our new probate judge, is one of the most promising young men in the state. By dint of unconquerable pluck and energy he has worked himself to the front rank in the legal profession, and by virtue of his gentlemanly conduct and polished manners he has made friends wherever he has traveled. The interests of our people and county have been committed to able, safe, honest hands. Mr. Kumpe is well qualified for the high office to which he has been elected. He is learned in law, possesses a kind heart and a generous, accommodating disposition, and we here make the prediction that by the close of his term he will be as popular with the people as any of his predecessors in office. He wears his honors like a wellbred gentleman, as he is, and moves among his fellows with the modesty and grace of a philosopher.” A Business Notice. Having (as I think) overcome and survived the venom and wrath of the Irrcpressiblcs 1 now beg to make known that I am prepared with renewed vigor and energy to offer my services te the public as a teacher of music and modern languages, such as German, French and Spanish (the three last branches in classes of three to five pupils I deem very commendable.) I can also furnish orchestra music for various occasions. The studying under distinguished masters as well as my experience of having played in large orchestras, warrants ne in sayingofbeing enabled, with the aid of other competent musicians cf the town, to render orchestral music in such a style and manner as a public of culture and taste may demand. Respectfully, L, Leopold. Orders may be left at L. V. Moore’s music or A. Herz’s cigar store. A Card. To Whom it May Concern: Having had the services of Mr. L. Wiseberg, of this city, who performed the rite ofcircumcism upon my son, Israel I. Alexander, I herewith pronounce him an expert in his profession and cheertully recommend him to all within his reach, who may need him, as fully competent and very attentive. B. Alexander.

All the trees and most of the shrubbery in the city were blown down. The loss is roughly estimated at $100,000. Fortunately no lives were lost, and no persons were seriously injured. A LIVELY AND BUSY SCENE. What a Waco Firm is Doing in tho Manufacture , of Vehicles. It was a busy scene that met a Day reporter’s eyes as he stepped into the establishment of Reese & Son at the corner of Washington and Third streets yesterday. A force of twelve or fifteen men, ineluding blacksmiths, woodworkers, painters and trimmers was at work and parts of buggies, wagons and vehicles were scattered on every side. Reese & Son have won an enviable reputation for their work and the jobs turned out from their establishment are equal in appearance, pattern and finish to the finest foreign work and far superior in durability. Special attention is paid to repairs and several renovated vehicles exhibited to the reporter could not be distinguished, by the best judges, from perfectly new work. Among the new jobs shown is a heavy float built especially for the use of Sanger Brothers in their wholesale dry goods business, which is a model in its way. Besides rush of business in the way of vehicles for repair this live firm has orders ahead for several new jobs which will be turned out soon. One of the Most Promising Young Men in Alabama. The following is taken from the Moulton, Alabama, Advertiser. The young judge alluded to is a son of our townsman, Dr. G. E. Kumpe: “Hon. James C. Kumpe, our new probate judge, is one of the most promising young men in the state. By dint of unconquerable pluck and energy he has worked himself to the front rank in the legal profession, and by virtue of his gentlemanly conduct and polished manners he has made friends wherever he has traveled. The interests of our people and county have been committed to able, safe, honest hands. Mr. Kumpe is well qualified for the high office to which he has been elected. He is learned in law, possesses a kind heart and a generous, accommodating disposition, and we here make the prediction that by the close of his term he will be as popular with the people as any of his predecessors in office. He wears his honors like a wellbred gentleman, as he is, and moves among his fellows with the modesty and grace of a philosopher.” A Business Notice. Having (as I think) overcome and survived the venom and wrath of the Irrcpressiblcs 1 now beg to make known that I am prepared with renewed vigor and energy to offer my services te the public as a teacher of music and modern languages, such as German, French and Spanish (the three last branches in classes of three to five pupils I deem very commendable.) I can also furnish orchestra music for various occasions. The studying under distinguished masters as well as my experience of having played in large orchestras, warrants ne in sayingofbeing enabled, with the aid of other competent musicians cf the town, to render orchestral music in such a style and manner as a public of culture and taste may demand. Respectfully, L, Leopold. Orders may be left at L. V. Moore’s music or A. Herz’s cigar store. A Card. To Whom it May Concern: Having had the services of Mr. L. Wiseberg, of this city, who performed the rite ofcircumcism upon my son, Israel I. Alexander, I herewith pronounce him an expert in his profession and cheertully recommend him to all within his reach, who may need him, as fully competent and very attentive. B. Alexander.
