JUSTICE BRADLEY INJURED DURING THE BLOW IN WASHINGTON. Baltimore Partially Under Water as a Re- sult of the Great Wind and Many Bulla - ings Unroofea—Annapolis a Sufferer— Reports of Damage From Points in the Southeast—Dam Bursts in Mexico. The West Indian storm moved rapidly up the Atlantic Coast yesterday, and is central in the up- per St. Lawrence Valley this morning. At Buf- sfalo, V. F., the barometer reading is 28.90 inches, and the center of the storm to the novtheast of that city undoubtedly shows considerably lower pressure. Strong southwesterly gales prevail in the lower lake regions. Rains of over a quarter of an inch are reported from the Western boundary of the lake region to the Atlantic coast and extending southward into South Carolina and Tennessee. Parkersburg, W. Va., reports 3.88 and Cleve- land, O., 2.38 inches during the past twenty-four hours. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 16.—A storm of tue hurricane variety passed over this city last night doing great damage. Telegraphic communication to points outside of Washing- ton was rendered impossible for a long time on account of the violent wind and ruin, and a few small buildings were blown down. Associate Justice Henry R. Brown of the United States Supreme Court was severely cut on his right temple last evening while attempting to close one of the heavy plate- glass windows in his new home on the north- west corner of Sixteenth streetand Riggs place. A heavy piece of glass cut an ugly gashaninch and a half long, severing the artery. But for timely medical attention the wound would have proved fatal. It rained steadily all day yesterday and to- wards night the wind began to blow hard. It increased in velocity and the rain increased in volume until it was next to impossible for pedestrians to face it. Lights were torn down,signs were blown down and in some in- stances bouses unroofed. About 2 o’cilock the rain ceased, but the wind continued to blow witn increasing force and it was hot and sultry. Telegraph wires were wrecked in every direction until it seemed that tho country at large would have to do without intorwation regarding the doings of the ex- traordinary session of Congress. After per sistent effort the Western Union got a wire by way of Memphis, over which it was en- abled to send press reports. At daylight this the storm. abated and before 6 e'ciock the sky was clear. The Western Union has a large force of linemen at work, and hope to restore communication rapidly. Sr. LOUIS’ CONDITION. At o o’clock this morning it was absolutely impossible to obtain any telegraphic com- munication between St. Louis and cities east of Pittsburg and Buffalo. New York was completely cut off, and the destruction of the trunk lines there made it impossible to reach any points on the coast route. At the Western Union offices the following table was made up: Short two wires to Chicago, twelve wires to New York, four wires to Nash ville and two wires to Memphis. A few minutes after 9o’clock a message was received stating that communication with Washington had been restored via At- janta and Augusta, but only one line was in operation. Later Washington reached New York. Atthe Postal Telegraph office almost the same experience was met with. Wires west of Pittsburg were much crippled, but that city is completely cut off. The company's wires to New Orleans and through Tennessee and Mississippi were fairly in condi- tion, but west of Birmingham and through North Carolina all wires were down. PITTSBURG AND THE EAST. PITTSBURG, Pa., Oct. 14.—To-day, as a re- sult of the fearful wind and rain-storms, telegraphic or telephonic communication with New York, Washington and Boston was riext to imposstble. Wires from the West were working after a fashion as far Kast as the Alleghenies, but the country on the other ‘ side of the mountains was cut off almost 27 ＋* ce A ee . r . * 2 8 6. * N 3 * ; entirely. The trouble with the wires began yesterday and gradually grew worse through the night, reaching a climax this morning in a condition of prostration, said to be about the most complete on record. The only case appr: aching a parallel, so far a: least as wire communication is concerned, was the extraordinary New York bliszard, in which Roscoe Conkling lost his life. The blizzard. however, only affected a comparatively mall stretch of territory. To-day almost the entire Atlantic Coast was cut off and the effects of the storm were felt over 1,000 miles ialand. DAMAGE IN FLORIDA. JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Oct. 14.—Latest ro- ports concerning the damage done by the storm of Thursday and Thursday night, show thatit was greater than was at first supposed. Mayport, at the mouf™ of St. John's River, was almost washeu away, Eight houses were washed off. It is thought that two young boys were in one of those that were wrecked. St. Augustine was flooded to a depth of about three feet and part of the sea wall washed a No train . yet arrived here from St. and the Indian River country. 1 any houses were blown down or wrecked at New Smyrna.

Disasters in Mexico Caused By Very ) Heavy Raius. ‘ CITY OF MEXICO, Oct. 14.—Bursting water dams in the territory of Tepuca caused great loss of Ute on several haciendas. Twenty- four persons are known to be drowned. At Santa Inez in the State of Oxaca the town was inundatedand the town hall and many other buildings were swept away. There were similar 4 isasters in other towns. — > ͤ —̈œꝑUů PARTIALLY SUBMERGED. Baltimore’s Low Places Ind ded by the Waves. BALTIMORE, Md., Oct. 14.—In various sec- tions of the city houses were unroofed and trees blown down yesterday. The wind and rain swelled the water in the harbors so that the New York trains on the B. & O. were un- able to cross at Locust Point, at which place they were ferried across. e southern part of the city is flooded and — water at the docks is even with the street. From Annapolis and other sections in South- —— Maryland came reports of damage by the s rm. a un NOT BAD AT WAYCROSS. Waycross, Ga., Oct. -4.—The storm com- menced blowing Thursday morning at sun- rise and continued, accompanied by heavy rains until last midnight. It was a regular Western cyclone. St. Augustine was partly submerged and trains to South Florida were stopped. No information can be obtained from points south of St, Augustine, but it is feared that the great orange growing section in Indian River has suffered seriously. The storm was a baby as compared with other Jate storms on the Atlantic and gulf coasts, but it was bad enough. It has entirely passed. WON'T TAKE ALLOTSENTS, Kickapoes Repudiate the Treaty Made by Their Commissioners. GUTHRIE, O. T., Oct. 14.—Maj. Moses Neal, the Kickapoo Allotting Agent, will have con- siderable difficulty in getting the Indians to take their allotments, asa large number of them state that they were never in favor of the treaty and did not sign it. The treaty was agreed upon by the Government Com- missioners and a committee from the Kicka- poos, but there is nothing to show that it was ever ratified by a majority of the tribe, and if this is a fact it will not be binding upon the Indians. and the action of Congress in providing forthe opening of the land will amount to naught. RAILROAD NEWS. Traffic Manager Miller Will Attend the Southwestern Association Meeting. Vice-President and General Manager Thomas C. Purdy, General Traffic Manager Miller, General Supt. Allen and Chief Engineer Wilson ofthe M. K. &T. returned to headquarters this morning from Texas. As Mr. Miller was not.in the city on the date of the meeting of the Southwestern Association, it was rumored that he absented himself on purpose, as he had lost all faith in the association before which the notice ot the Katy's withdrawal is still pentling. Mr. Miller denies that such is the case in very emphatic terms. Said he this morning: I was just as anxious to attend the meeting as any other interested party, but found out that it would be impossible to do so, and ten days before the meeting was to have been held I served notice on Secretary Jewett informing him that I could not de present. I also informed him that if the meeting could be postponed until after the 15th I would be able to present, but not on the 10th, as I had some business in Texas which demanded my immediate attention. It is all absurd about my leaving the city to keep from attending the meeting. If I had not wanted to go and had no business out of town, I would have simply remained in my office and refusedtogo. I understand arrangements have been made for the holding ofa meetin in New Orleans, Oct. 23. If this is a fact, an if nothing unforeseen happens, I will most as- suredly be there, providing, as a matter of course, that we are guaranteed a full attend- ance.’’ Railroad Notes.

John H. Taylor, a negro, who resides at 2005 Pine street, called at the Four Courts this morning and informed Chief Desmond that F. Rankins, a negro, whom he had met several Gays ago, was a ve fraud. He said Rankins 3 that he had influence enough to secure him a position as porter on the private car of W. R. McKeen, President of the Vandalia road. and Taylor thought he had. Rankins then said that if — wanted the position he would have toadvance $15, which was to go toward a uniform suit. Taylor handed him the money, and Rankins remained here until Nes - terday, when laxlor received a note from East St. Louis to the effect that Rantings was called to Cleveland, O., where he claimed his daughter was Very sick in the seminary she was 121 The situation and uniform have both faſled to materialize and Taylor wants Kankins arrested. Chicago Trains Late. The trains on all the roads leading from Chicago were late in arriving at the Union Depot to-day because of the heavy travel. Three sections on the Wabash road arrived two hours late, as also did two the Vandalia road. Trains e roads were from two to three hours late.

The majority of the killed and injured were in the rear coaches of the train which was standing at the depot when the second train crashedintoit. All the passengers inthe last two cars were either ed or The third from the last car was throw the track and four rsons init killed. The baggage car jumped the track and was re- duced to kindiing wood. But two men init escaped. The engine was badly wrecked. Steam escaped from the bollers and added to the sufferings ofthe wounded. Many physi- Clans were soon on the ground directing the removal of the woundedtothe hospitals. Women on the depot platform fainted, and men were unnerved. The shrieks of the injured could be heard for blocks. President Ledyard and other officials of the road arrived at 11:30. After examining the wreck the President left for Detroit. Engineer Wm. Whalen remained on the train until the last moment trying to apply the brakes, which would not work. He jumped for his life and received a fracture of the ankle. Fireman Kemberling Jumped and escaped injury. No one is able to say if any blame attaches tothe engineer. It is Known that the air brakes were applied, but did not respond, but why they failed has not been revealed. Whalen said: ** We left Detroit at 6:55 with one ofthe best engineson the roadand a train of twelve coaches. The engine worked remarkably smooth, though a new one, and I was congratulating myself upon the fine matter in which it was working. We stopped at Livonis avenue, slowed at Wayne Junction and stopped at Ypsilanti. The air worked allright at these points. At Ypsi- lanti there was a large crowd around the engine. This is the hardest point on the line to stop at, as it is down grade, but we had no difficulty. We madeno other stop until we reached Jackson. Just east of Jackson Junction I turned on the air brakes, and finding it worked all * — shu it off. As we crossed Elmer avenue lap ned the brakes again, when I found they did not work on the train, although they did on the engine. Ithen whistled for brakes two or three times and reversed my engine. I spoke to the fireman and told him the brakes did not work and to look out for himself, and at the same time pulled the lever. I held the throttle until we were within three car lengths of the rear ofthe other train, when I went out the window ofthe cab, asI could not get to the gangway in time. My fireman jumped first. I fella hundred yards east of the depot.’’ All but two of those injured will recover. Some will have disfigured faces and others will have afflictions through life that will bear against their physical vigor. Thetwo most seriously injured are. Miss Blanche Beardslee of East Canton, Fa., and Miss Johanna Healey of Morris Run, Pa. Miss Beardsiee has a fracture of the skull, internal injuries and is _ frignt- fnlly cut and bruised about the body. There is only the faintest hope of her recovery. She spoke this morning for the first time since the accident. She is conscious and unconscious by turns. Ste does not know the fate of her mother, who was picked up dead on the platform of the same car on which Miss Beardslee was found injured. Miss Johanna Healey had a bad cture of both legs. Some of the local physicians thought the amputation of one leg would be nec essary to save her life, but Surgeon- General McLean of the 1 Central, who has been looking after the injured, said this morning, after a consultation with the several physicians, that it was thought am- putation might be averted and Miss Healey would recover. Mrs. Jas. Sloan of North Brookfield,N.Y., is an addition to the list of injured reported yesterday. She’ is hurt in the hip and abdomen. She was the only person injured in the train that was pulled by Engineer Whalen. she was in the second car behind the engine and was caught some way and crushed in e timbers.

Union Pacific Great Blocks Be EMPLOYES ANXIOUS. OMAHA, Oct. 14.—All the assurances of Re- ceiver Clark that they will not know the dif- ference arerequired to keepthe Union Pa- eine employes in anything approaching a cheerful frame of mind. General Man- ager Dickinson das told the Engineers’ Committee when it had come to ask him about modifications of the schedule that it had no schedule existing with the receivers and he has told others that it was true to all schedules, contracts or agreements with organized labor, which were those he had made. The employes say that they will assume that hours and pay will remain as they are or not less until the get an intimation otherwise. Then they wi call upon the receivers and learn where they stand. Mr. Clark and Mr. Thurston say that contracts with other roads for contracts, trafic and the like stand until the court directs otherwise, and the employes note the difference between themselves and the roads. THE RECEIVERS QUALIFY. OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 14.—8. H. H. Clark, Oliver P. Munk of Boston and E. Ellery An- derson of New York have qualified as re- ceivers of the Union Pacific Raliroad. Their bonds are $50,000 each, Mr. Clarke gave as his security Mr. George Gould and Mr. Thomas Swobe. The receivers were appointed on applica- tion of N. S. Harwood of Lincoln on behalf of Oliver Ames and Samuel! Carr, as executors of the will and testament of the late Frederick Ames, and Peter B. Wyckoff and Ed- win F. Atkins. The complaint in equity against the Union Pacific and twenty - eight other defendant companies was filed on Oct. 9, which terminated in the appointment of the above named receivers. Immediately after the qualification of the receivers Gen- eral Manager Dickinson turned over to them all of the possessions of thecompany. They a like manner Jr., general manager Island and Kansas City & Omaha roads, possession of all property of said companies; also from J. H. Lothrop, Vice-President and acting general manager of the Kearney & Black Hills Ratlway, and from George W. Megeath, General Superin- tendent of the Union Pacific Coal Co., all property in their possession, and from all other general superin‘endents of the Union Pacific system all property under thelr con- trol and management. The petition on which the receivers were appointed cites the claim Ames had in the Union Pacific stocks, then detailing the in- debtedness of the company, which on April 24 amounted to $245,431,041,92. On Oct company owed for material and labor $1,500, - 000. From January to June this year there has been a falling offof gross revenues as compared with the same year of Minot July and August the comparative derrease being $2,000,000, and in September $1,600,000. So far during this year there has been a total de- crease in proce revenue of , 184, 000, a net decrease o , 588,000. In conclusion the bili alleges that the company is insolvent and cannot pay its deDts.

Minutes Which Would Make a Good Sized Volume—The Latest Entry—Reo- ord Which Promises to Equal That of the Celebrated Jarndyce vs. Jarn- dyoe. Seven years, three months and three days ago Almon B. Thomson, the Cashier of the Provident Savings Bank, failed to turn up at his usual hour in the morning and then it was found that he was short in his accounts and the affairs of the bank in a very bad con- dition. One month later, or seven years, two months and three days ago, Carlos 8. Greely, one of the biggest stockholders in the bank, entered suit for the appointment of a re- celver and for the settlement of the bank’s affairs, Judge Lubke was Judge in Court- his room. Since that time the case has been through the Court of Appeals, the Supreme Court and back again and is still unsettled. Hundreds of motions and orders and inter- pleaders have been made, but still the case drags along with no prospect of a settle- ment. The particular case in question is now ina measure dependent upon litigation in Adair County, Mo., where acase was taken on achange of venue and which is dragging along there as are the cases here. There is a third case in court-room No, s which seems to have been almost entirely forgotten and when inguired for, necessitated a reference to the index and a digging around for oid documents which promised but little for the chances of a settlement ever being reached. The suit of Carlos 8. Greely against the Provident Saving Bank and others is the one now hung up in Judge Dilion’s Court. The clerk’s minutes alone will make a small vol- ume and relate the complications incident ‘tothe still unsettled case. A brief synopsis at te case as it stands to-day was made and it appears in substance as follows: SYNOPSIS OF THE CASE’S PROGRESS. Carlos 8. Greely vs. the Provident Sav- ings Bank etal. The petition goes on to say that James 8. Garland, Almon B. Thomson, Thomas H. Swain, Wm. P. Mulkey, George Scott, Carlos B. Greeley and Charles H. Smith are officers and directors of the bank, Garland being President, Thomson Cashier and the other four Directors. The plaintiff claimsto hold more stock in the bank than any other stockholder in the concern. Then the petition goes ontosay that Mr. Garland had been away for some months and Almon B. Thomson left practically in charge of the bank, and on the 12th day of July, 1886, Thomson failed to appear at the bank and was never seen after up tothe time of the ling of the suit on Aug. 12 of the same year. In conclusion the petition asks for a re- terms: + * toro , ‘reason of the facts aforesaid the piaintiif prays this nonorabie Court to appoint some suitable person as a receiver to take immediate charge of the banking-house of the said dank, and all ot the assets thereof wheresoever situated and to reduce the same to money under the su- pervision of this honorable court, and out of the proceeds thereof to pay as directed from time to time by this court. First the debts of said bank, share and share alike,and next the surplus, if any, to the stockholders of said bank in equal proportions, and for any and all other proper relief.’’ Then comes an interminable list of minutes made by the clerk. The regular space for minutes being exhausted additional sheets were pasted in. The first entry on the minutes is: 1886, July 14—Order in vacation before Judge Lubke, appointing Wm. H. Thompson re- ceiver. Then follows eight or nine pages of minutes. The most important of which are: 1886, July 6—Intervening petition of R. J.
