Chicago. Aug Id. — "This govern-

have made, and then turn the island

‘ This civilizing war is all a sham
Any people can maintain as good a
government as they have a rigtit to
have, and you cannot give them a
better one."

Many Held Ke«poa*ltele.
Omaha, Neb, Aug. !6.—After four
days' deliberation and the taking of
testimony of thirty witnesses, the
coroner's jury reported, fixing the
blame for the electrocution of four
firemen at the Mercer Chemical com-
pany's tire on August 9. The Thom-
son-Houston Electric Light company
and the city electrician are charged
with criminal negligence for . not cut-
ting tlie wires and thus rendering the

cials are censured for not passing
proper ordinances governing overhead

Juimter Point, Fla . Aug. .( —The
beginning of the hurricane appeared
at 8:20 o'clock this morning. A heavy
sea is now prevailing. The tides re-
main normal. The hurricane signals
have been sent as far north as
Charleston, S. C. All shipping in the
South Atlantic has beeu notified
Washington, Aug. 14 —The weather
bureau is unable from the reports re-
ceived up to 9:30 o’clock this morning
; to tell whether the storm will con-
1 tinue on it* course westward through-
out the Gy‘* of Mexico, or recurve
up tho At’-ntie coast and out to
sea. The .atter is the usual track
of West Indian hurricanes at this
season of the year, but since 1878 two
; have contlnued on their way across
i the gulf. Cable communication with
Nassau has been interrupted .since 10
j o'clock last night and nothing has
been heard from the island since.
! The storm of course would not affect
'the cable, but the land terminus
might have been destroyed as it was
in several cases upon tlie islands of
j Porto Rico.
The hurricano has traveled about
11,200 miles etnee Monday, which is at
the rate of about 430 miles per day.
It is now central over the Gulf stream
j with the edge just touching the F-or-
l ida coast. As a rule, while crossing
the Gulf stream, a hurricane increases
| in intensity. It has about reached the
critical point in its journey, tlie place
where it usually recurves to the north.
This is Che point where its intensify
j is usually most severe. Tho very high
' barometer at Bermuda has had the ef-
; feet of keeping the hurricane off to
I the south and west, as hurricanes al-
ways follow the path of least resist-
ance, and this Is one of the reasons
why the weather bureau officials are
inclined to belieie that the storm may
continued on to the westward through
; the gulf.
The diameter of this hurricane, so
far as can be judged from reports, is
unusually narrow, not more than 400
miles. The fact that the present
storm is of small diameter indicates
that it is of greater severity than
usual.
The following shipping has tied up
in Savannah Harbor awaiting definite
advices regarding the south coast hur-
1 ricane: Barkentine McGregor, lum-
i her laden, for Philadelphia; the Tex-
j as, for Baltimore; Bettor and Pern-
brief, twe British steamships; Ocean
j Steamship company's Birmingham,
scheduled to sail to-night, will be
guided by later reports; Tailahasse,
from New York and Essex, from Bal-
timore, arrived after a S'afe voyage.

London, Aug. 14. —President Kru-

German papers are hinting pretty
plainly that the Transvaal c-n expect

with the British government s steady

shortest honey rnoou on record oo-
curred here yesterday morning when
P. V. Jobe of Pawnee and Miss Mabel
Payton of Winfield were married. It
was noticed that the bridegroom was
somewhat under the influence of li-
quor during the ceremony and when
he retired to the room of his bride he
sat down in a chair and at once went
to sleep. When he awakened two
hours later, his bride had been trans-
formed from an affectionate girl into
an angry and disgusted woman. She
turned a deaf ear to all his apologies
and entreaties and went to a lawyer's
office where she commenced action for
divorce.
