and reported that two companions
ot his had been drowned while cling

communicate with bavannab at all
yesterday except by train, and the
exodus was all one way. The peo

Few went to the Island and the re

In Savannah yesterday and last

It was not until law last night that

Bull street, where eoine of the flnebt
residences and parks are, were In a
sad stste yesterday and they are
not much better today, because the
rain continued throughout yeeter-

ntght and prevented anything being
done to repair the damage of tho
storm. Great numbers ot atom
windows are broken, eigne
down, trees are uprooted and roofs
are off houses on Broughton street
und those In the Immediate vicinity.
In Forsyth park fine trees are down
and In the public squares there Is
almost as great destruction of shade
trees and shrubbery. The city forces
are busy today clearing soma ot
this away.
-the steamship Cretan, about
which there wae some anxiety, got
Into port thin morning, having
weathered the gale. There te still
much uneasiness over the fate of
arhoonera and other railing vessels
that mry be on the roast.
Small craft at the marts adja
cent to Savannah suffered severely
during the blow. Many naptha
launches and other amall craft were
loat.
A great many Savannahlane were
storm-hound at the different retorts.
At Isle of Hope, where Mayor Tled-

tho fight between Senator Arthur P

ot Montgomery county for the Dorn-

Tha opposition, variously termed
as the Insurgents or progressives, Is

Lee, and former Governor Edwin

Congressman Talbott la the real
leader In the fight against Gorman.
Members of the National Committee
