Jacksonville, Fla., October 9.—The ■
cyclone reported raging- in the GuL ,
near Galveston, Tex., last night, has ;
reached Florida. It struck Pensacola !
yesterday. At noon the wind at j
Pensacola was reported to be blowing '
at a velocity of sixty-four miles anj
hour. Shortly after that the wires i
went down between this place and
Pensacola and. it is impossible to learn
whether any damage has been done.
The storm seems to be traveling* in a
northeasterly direction from Pensacola.
Tallahassee, Fla., reported early last
night that there were indications of a
heavy gale and that much apprehen
sion was felt.
At Jacksonville last night the barom
eter fell to 29.50, and the wind reached
a velocity of thirty-six miles an hour.
It is thought, however, that the storm
will pass north of Jacksonville.
Nothing can be learned as to the
damage done by the cyclone until com
munication is re-established with Pen
sacola, as that place seems to have
been in the storm center.

Bevebly, Mass., October S.—The
death of Oliver Wendell Holmes has
cast a glaom over the city. It came
unexpected yesterday and was a blow
to his friends in all parts of’ the coun
try.
Oliver Wendell Holmes was born at
Cambridge, Mass., August 29, 1890.
He was graduated at Harvard college
in 1829, and began the study of law,
which he subsequently abandoned for
that of medicine. Having attended
the hospitals of Paris, and other Eu
ropean cities he. commenced practice
in Boston in 1830. In 1886 he was elect
ed professor of anatomy and physiolo
gy in- Dartmouth college, and in 1847
was appointed to a similar drofessor
ship in the Massachusetts medical
school, from which he retired in 1832.
Story of Ilia |lselul Career.
As early as 1836 his contributions in
verse appeared in various periodicals,
and his reputation as a poet was estab
lished by the delivery of a metrical es
say, entitled “Poetry,” which was fol
lowed by others in rapid succession.
As a writer of songs, lyrics, and poems
for festive occasions,' he occupied first
place. He was for many years a pop
ular lecturer. In 1857, he commenced
in the Atlantic Monthly a series of ar
ticles under the title “The Autocrat of
the Breakfast Table,” which were fol
lowed in 1860 by “Tflo professor at the
breakfast table,” in 1872 by “The poet
ut the breakfast table,” and in 1885 by
“The New Portfolio.” In addition he
has published “Astraen” in 1850, “Cur
rents and. Counter-currents in medi
cal science,” in 1861; “Elise Vennor, a
romance of destiny” in 1861; “Border
lands in some provinces of medical
science,” in 1862; “Songs in many
keys,” in 1864; “Soundlings from the
Atlantic,” in 1804; “Humorous poems,”
in 1865; ‘‘The Guardian angel,” in
1866; “Meehanicism in thought, and
morals,” in 1670 ; “Songs of Many sea
sons,” in 1874; “John L. Motley, a ma
moir‘” in 1870; “The Iron Gate, and
other poems,” in 1830; “Medical Es
says,” in 1882; “Pures from an old
volume of life,” in 1888 ; “Ralph Wal
do Emerson,” in 1884, “A mortal an
tipathy,” in ISBS ; “Our hundred days
in Europe," in 1887 ; “Before the cur
few,” in 1888; and numerous poems re
cited at various reunions and dinners.
His Last Days And Hours.
In 1886 he visited England, where he.
was received with great cordiality.
Additions of his poems have appeared
from time to time, the first in 1886, the
last in 1889.
' He has contributed largely to cur
rent medical literature, as well.to tho
literary journals and reviews. A se
ries of genial papers from his pen, en
titled’ “Over the teacups” appeared in
the Atlantic Monthly during 1890.
The end came-at 12:10, o’clock yester
day afternoon at the venerable poet’s
town house, 296 Beacon street. Ho was
surrounded by his children, and visibly
conscious of their presence up to with
in a few minutes of the last, thou gh
unable to speak. Then he closed his
eyes wearily and seemed to fall asleep,
as, indeed, he did—the sleep of death,
at which the whole world will mousn.
His death was flue to exhaustion fol
lowing a severe attack of asthma.

Question Will Finally Land in

Columbia, IS.' cvcctoOTr *—xu*. gc-i
cision of the supreme court in the dis
pensary cases was filed last night.
Justices Pope and Gary declare the
law constitutional, while Chief Justice
Mclver dissents. This was not unex
pected.
J ustice Gary argues.generally that the
regulation of the manufacture and sale
of intoxicating liquor comes within the
police power of the state, and that the
dispensary is such a regulation of the
traffic; that there is no inlierent right
in any one to sell liquor and that being
the case, the state had a right to pro
hibit the sale altogether or to so con
trol it as it deems best for the general
welfare. Justice Hope assents to this,
finding, whmh is a long legal disserta
tion on the constitutionality of the act.
The Ulleot of the Decision.
Chief Justice Mclver dissents and re
iterates generally the position taken
by him when the law was declared un
constitutional Iqst spring.
The effect of the decision will be that
Governor Tillman will now begin an ac
tive warfare against “blind tigers,”
which have been flourishing without
mucji molestation since the act was
declared unconstitutional. What the
saloon men will do is problematical.
They have never had any concert of ac
tion iu fighting the law ip the courts,
but it is more than likely that some
kind of a case will be gotten up which
will finally land the question iu the
supreme court of the United States.

Ssamoain, Fa , October 10. —While
carpenters were at work repairing l th»
timber in the Luke Fidler shaft last,
night, a miner’s lamp on the head of
Irvin ButL/.gton ignited th? wood and'
a fierce fire ei sued. The carpenters
g-ave an alarm and * . verity miners com
menced a race for life cs the mine was
tilling with smoke. Through a shaft
not in course of construction they were
hoisted to the surface in an iron bucket,
a great crowd cheering as the men
reached tho mouth of the pit. During'
tho re L'.ie the funnes came-up the air
course and burned the fan house and
the fire d.-partineiit was called into ser
vice. urn, erintesident Morris Williams
and ’dire Inspector Edward Brennan
heroically entered the burning mine to
seek for lost or exiiauated men. At 5
o'clock irvin Buffington was found
dead. It ;s known i’er a certainty that
George Brown, a well known local pob
it.iciun; John Gierze, a laborer ; Antho
ny Roberts, a driver boy, and Michael
Bv.zofskie, a laborer are still in the
mine Heroic efforts are being made to
reach them, without, however, much'
hope of success. It is the fiercest mine i
tire known in the region, '.t’hc colliery i
is operated by the Mineral Mining and ,
railroad company and gave employ- ;
meet to over 800 mou and boysj. ’
Buffington’s death, was caused by his {
efforts to notify workmen in the j
mine of their danger. Everybody was ;
warned, and all started for safety, but!
the four named as missing, became con
fused and. lost their way ia the smokey
The latest plan adopted by the officials*
to quench the fire is by pumping alls
available water into the mine arid thusi
drowning it out. This, however, will •
take months to accomplish, and it is j
safe to say that this valuable coal oper- ’
ation is practically ruined, entailing a 1
loss of several hundred thousand dol

Textile mills are doing well; some of

none that they cannot work at a profit.
The iron output continues large aud is

ate against Blackburn has reached this
city. A correspondent investigated ths
rumor yesterday and is authorized to
say that there is absolutely no truth in.
the report whatever, and that the sec
retary is not a candidate. While it is
true that a letter was written in thia
city to a gentleman in Frankfort, no
such inference as contained in the pub
