TO SAY ABOUT IT.

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

to represent the ninth congressional district

fail to see why anybody should grumble at
the victory the lucky congressman achieves
every two years.

WIND AND WRECK.
YESTERDAY’S STORM THAT STRUCK THREE
TEXAS TOWNS.
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.
