Philadelphia, Pa., Sept. 10.—Tho damaging storm which has prevailed along the Atlantic coast since Sunday still continues, and reports received horo indicate that the damage to rail road lines entering Atlantic City, Cape May. Sea Isle City, Ocean City, and other coast resorts, is very great. The Camden, on! A t or:tie aid West Jersey railroad was unable to-day to get a train in or out of Atlantic City. The Reading Railroad Company arranged to get one of its early trains out, hut no more. The meadows near Atlantic City are covered with water, and the tracks are washed away in places. ALL COMMUNICATION CUT OFF. The storm carried nway telegraph poles nr t wins, ir is supposed, as all communica i.ou is cut off. The water in old Camden ana the Atlantic excursion house at Atlau tic City, is four or five feet high, and in the meadows it is as high sj that it is difficult to calculate the dam age t.iat has been done to railroad properties.

All telegraphic communication between here and Sandy Hook has deen destroyed by the storm, so that what disabled vessels, if any, hive run into port since 8 o’elocK this morning cannot be learned. The Sandy Hook boats have been obliged to tie UD for the day. The Sandy Hook earns up this murnrng but dare not venture to return. USABLE TO MAKE A LANDING. The Monmouth, which left here for that point at 5 o’clock this morning, was unable to make a landing in consequence of the high seas, and was obliged to bring her passengers back. On the return trip the craft fared badly, the waves washing clean over her, and the greater portion of her guard rails being carried away. At Sandy Hook the weather is thick and foggv and the gale blowing. Along the Jersey coast the serf is reported the heaviest ever kno an. A simxl ir condi tion prevails all along the coast vi Now England and New Jersey. LEAPED OVER THE BATTERY WALL. The storm, which has boon raging all day, continued during the night. The waves at the battery swept over the sea wall into the street. Never in the memoy of t. e oldest inhabitant had the tide risen so high. It crept to-night up to the level of the streets. The East and North rivers were almost deserted, and none of the smaller craft seemed inclined to venture out. Ferry boats had to make their slips in the most careful manner for fear of accidents, the wa er in many places being up over the landing places. As much as 9 feat of water was reported in some cellars before the tide fell. A MONITOR IN THIS BLOW. One of Her Launches Sunk and a Whale Boat Adrift. Annapolis, Md., Sept. 10.— The monitor Passaic, Lieutenant Coinnnnder W. W. Kilpatrick commanding, loft here this morning at 8 o’clock to take part in the sham attack on Fort McHenry. Off Sandy Point heavy weather was encountered. The Passaic was towing the steam launch Swan, which had banked her (Ires. The launch was filling with wator from tl’.e heavy seas, and an attempt was made to take the launch aboard the ship, but the davits would not hold it. Ti e launch filled with water and went down. Seaman John H. Bush was aboard and a floating whale boat was dispatched after him aud picked him up, but the boat was unable to regain the ship, which was then at anchor. The last seen of the wi ale boat it was drifting down the bay. It, is supposed it is safe. It contained Ensign H. (>. Dresse!, David Moore, Frederick Carr, and Parker and Scott, seamen. It is expected that the whale boat will be picked up at Thomas Point or the mouth of South river to-mor rosv. Boatswain Sinclair will go after the boat at daylight to-morrow. The launch was buoyed and will undoubtedly be re covered. The accident occurred at noon. Tho Passaic returned to Annapolis at 6 o’clock this evening. EUGENE KELLY’S 30N KILLED. The Gale Blows Him from the Platform of a Car. Newark, N. ,J., Sept. 10.—Joseph T. Kelly', son of Eugene Kelly, tho well-known New York barker, was blown from the platform of a car of the 4:50 p. m. train from New York over the Delaware, Lacka wanna and Western railroad, while the train was crossing Newark meadows.

The People of Wilkesbarre and Sur rounding Towns Alarmed. Wilkesbarre, Pa., Sept. 10. —The peo ple iu in this city* to-uiglit were considerably agitated by a sharp shock of earthquake, which occurred at 8:15 o’clock Buildings here, in Ashley, Kingston, Pittst m and surrounding country trembled for several seconds vigorously enough to rattle glass ware and crockery, and in some cases to throw it to tlie floor. A woman residing on Franklin street, in this city, was thrown from her chair. So far as can be heard from no property has been damaged or per sons injured.” EASY ON HARRINGTON, The Secretary of the Navy Makes His Sentence Lighter. Washington, S pt. 10.—Tho Secretary of the Navy to-day acted upon the findings of the court martial in the case of Com mander Purnell P. Harrington, who was charged with stranding the practice ship Constellation near Cape Hatteras June 18 last. The court found him guilty and sen tenced him to suspension from duty for two years on waiting orders pay, but united in an unanimous recommendation to clemency in v ew of the high character and dis tinguished professional servi es of the accused. Because of this recommendation Secretary Tracy, aftei approving the find ings, added commutation of the sentence to one year’s suspension to date from July £23, the day the record was received at the navy department. BAV ANN AH IN HIS TERRITORY. Col. W. P. CraighUl the Now Member of the Lighthouse Board. Washington, Sept. 10.—The President to-day designated Col. William P.

At 3:45 o’clock this afternoon the special venire being exhausted, the court adjourned until to-morrow morning. No jurymen had been secured. SAVANNAH. GA.. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1889. TIGHT IN DEATHS JAWS. HAIRBREADTH ESCAPES FROM TERRIBLE TRAIN WRECKS. Persistent Attempts to Bring About Disaster at Watson town on the Bal timore and Ohio Railroad Three Trains Brought to a Stop With Great Difaculty Just in Time to Save Them. Pittsburg, Pa., Sept. 10.— Several at tempts have recently been made to wreck passenger trains on the Baltimore and Ohio road, and at a most dangerous place, too. Last Saturday evening the fast ex press from Wheeling, due in this city at 9 o clock, had a very narrow escape near Vi atsontown. This is only a shtirt distance from the Mouongahela river. 1 here is a heavy down grade to the river, and the train was spinning around a curve at the rate of fifty miles an hour. The engineer, who is one of the most careful oa ;ho roa 1, ivas keeping as sharp a lookout as possible, when ho observed u lot of ties piled upon the track. FACE TO FACE WITH DEATH. My God,” he exclaimed to his fireman, as he quickly rever-ed his ongino, “l’uj afraid we’re gone. See that obstruction on the track.” The train for the 11r-1 second or two appeared.not to yield to the terrible brake pressure. Ic was an awful moment, lbe engineer and fireman remained bravely at their pests. Tne train slowed up, hut oould not be brought to a standstill ore it struck the ties across the track. There was a slight shock, but no damage was (lone. The obstruction was removed, ad the train proceeded to this city. The passengers wore not aware of the great danger they had escaped, or how close they had come to being plunged over auembauk meat into the creek below. A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE. Last night the eastern exprass had an almost similar experience near the same piace. Ties were placed upon the track just beyond the curve, in JKier that tho engineer might not see them in #mo to stop his train. Itjast impelled that U3 was run.ling very slowly and when ho observed the death trap a short distance ahead, in fact a few yards, he reversed his engine, applied the air brakes and suc ceeded in stopping the train. About a month ago the Chicago express, which runs at a very lively rate bet weeu YVheeling and Pittsburg, was almost wrecked near Clays ville, V\ ashmgton county. Luck was ou the side of the truiumon aud passengers agaiu. PUT THERE IX DAYLIGHT. The obstructions on the track near YY Tat soutown had in each case been placed there apparently in daylighl. The raiiroud men in the vicinity of (Jdenwood are keeping a sharp lookout. There are some pretty roufcdi characters residing in the vicinity of V\ atsontown. They are being closely watched, and it is pretty safo to say that if they are of served putting any more ob structions upon the tract, tnov will not iivo long enough to realize what fiends they are. FIRoI ON A STEAMER. The Theodore Weems Badly Burned at Baltimore. Baltimore, Sept. 10.— Fire broke out shortly after 2 o’clock this morning on the steamer Theodore Weems, of the Weems Line Transportation Company, lying at pier No. 9, Light street wharf. Two alarms were sent iu, ami when the engines re sponded to tho call thick black smoke over hung the harbor, which made it extremely difficult to locate the firo. Five minutes after the arrival of the engines, and despite the numerous streams poured on the vessel, a bright blaze shot up amidships. Gradually the big steamer listed to the port side, until it seemed that she would topple over. The firemen’s only course to save her from entire destruction was to swamo her, wide a thov did. BADLY BURNED AMIDSHIPS. The boat Is badly burned amidships. The hull appears to bo hut slightly damaged. The Weems arrived last evening at the reg ular time from her trip down the bay. Her cargo consisted of sixty hogsheads of tobacco, grain and cattle. All this will probably be a doad loss. The cattle proba bly perished by suffocation. All the cargo was shipped from points along the Patux ent, tnos.lv from Benedict. The loss on the steamer and cargo is estimated at from £26,000 to $35,000. Chief Engineer Edward Weems and crew were aboard whoa the lire broke out. hut all escaped, leaving their clothes behind. The Weems was commanded by Capt. Cooper. The fire is supposed to have origi nated in the furnace room. IVES ON TRIAL. Tho Toombs will ba His Horn 3 Pend ing the Outcome. New York. Sept. 10.— The trial of Henry S. Ives was begun this morning in part 3 of the court of general sessions before Recor der Sinvthe. When Ives entered the court this forenoon he looked, if possible, more unconcerned than any of the crowd of on-lookers. It took just three hours and twenty minutes to All the jury box. The court adjourned at 3:30 o’clock." To-morrow morning at 11 o’clock, the case will be opened by tiie prosecution. Before dismissing the jury, Recorder Smythe admonished them after the usual fashion. An effort on tue part of tbo coun sel for Ives to keep him m Ludlow street jail during tho trial was unsuccessful. To morrow night Ives will sleep in the Tombs. ELL&NSBURG’S CONVENTION. The Democrats Put a Pull Ticket in the Field. Ellensburg, W.

Dawson's New Bank. Washington, Sept 10.—The Dawson National Bank of Dawson, Ga., has tieeu authorized to begin busbies,* with a capital of $50,0001 THE ADIRONDACK. The Agents Write the Secretary of State About the Vessel. Washington, Sept. 10.—Messrs, rim, Forwood & Cos., agents of the Atlas Steam ship Company, of New York, have written a letter to the Secretary of State calling his attention to the newspaper reports to the effect that the ship Adirondack had left the port of Colon for New York with yel low fever on board, the statement being based upon a reDort said to have been sent to tho department of state by the United States consul at Colon. CAUSES anxiety. “You will readily perceive,” they write, 1 ‘that this report, which has fortunately proved to have been entirely without foun dation, was the cause of considerable anx iety on our part, not only on account of the passengers and crew, but also on account of the large and valuable cargo of bananas, which the term of quarantine would have inevitably destroyed.” They say the appearance of such a report is likely to do some injury in the future, and request the department that if the United States con ul did so report, such stens be taken as wi 1 insure his getting in the future more reliable information before sending ou his official dispatches. * a letter from barranqltlla. The department of state is als iin receipt of a communication from tho United States consul at Colon, who transmits a letter fr m tho United States consul at Barrau quilla, in rogard to tho ship Adirondack. The letter from Barranquilla is dated Aug. JO, and is in part af follows: “Ayoung lady, Miss Addle C. Ramsay, came from New York, via Port au Princo on the Adirondack. The second day aflor her arrival she was taken ill. On the fourth day it developed as yellow fever of the most malignant type. She died last night, and was buried at 4 o'clock this morning. The Adirondack had sailed before this was nunounced. As usual, the line to Car timgona is not in ordor, sc 1 have no recourse except to ask you to transmit notice by telegram to tho department to forestall tho arr.val of the ship at New York. If tho ship had tne germs of the disease on %oanl previous to her arrival here, tho ltidas aud bananas aril her devious route by Colon and Port Liman, makes tne extremely anxious in rogard to the passengers that went from here, especially Dougherty and Gibson.” CHICKAMAOUA STATION. It 1b as Near the Center of tho Battle field aa It Could Be Locatad. Chattanooga, Tenn., Sept. 10.—The Cbiekamagua battlefield station ou the line of the Chattanooga, Rome and Columbus railroad has been located about nine miles south of the central station in this city, on a beautiful plot of ground, west of the Dyer house, and about 200 yards in front of what was the uuion line of battle on Sunday morning, Sept. 20, 1863, which was occupied by Gens. Sheridan and V.yt Clave’s di vi-ions aud Col. Wilder's mouitked infantry. she widow Glenn’s place, which was Gen’. Rosecran’s headquartors, is one-eighth of a mile southeast from the station and the point where Gen. Lyttle fell, is about tbc same distance south. BLOODY POND. “Blondy Pond” is between the station and the Glenn place. Lougworth’s corpi made their first charge la this portion of tho field on Sunday morning, and pierced the union loft. Snodgrass Hill, where Thomas, with live divisions, fought all day Sunday, is about oue mile from the station in a northeasterly direction, and Vineyard farm, wh.ch was tho scone of dreadful carnage on Saturday, is about the same distance to the south east. From this it will he seen that the battle station is as nearly centrally located to the wnole field of battle as it is passible to make it. Excursion trains will bo run from Chattanooga daily to this battlefield station during tho reunion of the army of the Cumberland, S pt. 18, in and 20. FURIOUS FLAMES IN A FOREST. Men Only a Fow Yards from tho River Barely Escape Death. Chicago, Sopt. 10.—A dispatch from Helena, Mont., says: “Information has just bt:o i received here of one of the fierce t and most destiuctivo forest fires yet re ported in Montana. Too fire occurred Biturday night in the Btiegis district, U’issoula county, and Cokely ranch was mado a barren waste in ie.s than thirty minutes. Mr. Cosely and the hostlers of the ranch mounted horses and barely escaped with their lives to tho river, lea than a quarter of a mile nway, and reached tho water after having their cloth :s nearly ail burned from their > idies. They remained in the water over tw > hours, and even here the heat and omoko were aim nt suffocating. A Swedish prospector named Anders n tied his horse in a gulch about half a mile from the Cokely ranch, and went up the hillside to his" claim. Both horse and man perished in the flames. J. C. Veeder, who has returned from Ktrogis county, says ho foels certain that several men perished in the llamas higher up tho mountains. The destruction of proport'" will aggregate fully $1,090,030. J A MISERLY LIFE ENDED. Death of a WoL-to-Do Charlastonian Who Lived in a Hovel. Charleston, S. C., Sep*. 10.—Dav id Bonnethoau, aged about 75 years, died at tho city hospital to-day. He was severely burned oa Friday night at his house, and died from his injuries. Mr. B mnetieau was the last of an old Huguenot family of that name, aid for many years he kept n junk shop. He was a jeweler by trade. He lived ail alone and in a 1 hovel, but is said to ha ve left a snug sum of money, the stinted Sw ings of years. Whoa liii house was burn ing he was found in the fire and ref us and to be moved. Ho was taken out by force, but fought to stay with his property. His brotuer, who die I some years ago, was a painter of decidod merit and some reputa tion. A Bank President Convicted. Manhattan, Kan,, Sept 10.—William P. Higginbotham, presides of tbe Blue Valley Bank, of this city, has been con victed iu the district court of grand larceny. The case is the outgrowth of tho suspension of Higginbotham’s bank last January, when his ledger showed a defleic of $109,000. A motion was mado for anew trial. Danville and tbe Railroad.

I JACK THE RIPPER AGAIN .j THE HEADLEBS AND LEGLESS ' BODY OF A WOMAN FOUND. A Cordon of Police Immediately Bur- | round the Scene, But Fall to Catch the Murderer An Hour’s Work Rep resented By the Killiug and Dissec tion. London, Sept. 10.—At .*>:3() o’clock this morning a policeman found the body of a fallen woman lying at tho corner of tho railway arch, on Cablestraet, Whitechapel. An examination of tho remains showed that the bead and logs had l>een cut. olf and carried away and the stomach ripped open. The intestines were lyiug on the ground. A cordon of police instantly sur rounded the spot, but no arrests had boeti mado up to 8 o’clock this morning. Police men always pass this spot every fifteen rniuulos. Those ou duty last night say they aatv nothing suspicious. TOOK A LONG TIME. The physicians who examined the body slate tuat. in the opinion the murder and mutilation occupied nearly on hour. It is surmised that the murderer carried off the head aud legs in a bag. Tho murder is the worst of the whole sorios of Wniteehapel murders. Tito manner in which the limbi had been severed from the body snows that the murderer was possessed of some surgical skill. The woman was about 30 years old. Her clothing was shabby and she was ovi dently a spirit drinker. Tho romaius have not been identified. INTENSE EXCITEMENT. Most, intense excitement again prevails in White Caap-1. Crowds surround the morgue in which tho body lies now. There was no blood on the ground whore the body was found, neither was there any blood < n t o b dy. From this it is evident that the murder was committed in some other place and the body subsequently deposited under the railway arch. Tho trunk was nude. A rent and bloody chemise was found lying near tho body. The arms were intact. It is believed that the woman hits been dead for two days. Three sailors who were sleeping under tho arch next to the one u dor wiiich the body was found were taken into custody by the police. They convinced the authorities, however, that they had seen or heal'd nothing of a sus picious nature and were discharged. AMERICAN WORKMEN BERATED. John Burns Mad Because They Haven’t Kent More Money. London, Hept 10.—A meeting of the striking workmen was held ut To ver Hill to-day. Mr. Tillett, one of the leaders of the strike, who founded the dock laborers’ union, addressed the strikers. Ho said he believed that the mediation of Cardinal Manning between tho men aud tho em ployers would result in au early settlement of the question in dispute between them. John Burns announced the receipt of a uurnlior of subscript! ins from Australia for the benefit of the strikers. He said that the workmen of America had forwarded sentiment and sympathy enough to encircle tho globe if committed to paper but not a single cent to relieve the wants of their follow w. rkmen. He was ashamed of the organized workmen of America. manning’s proposal a compromise. Cardinal Manning’s proposal, which is being considered by the council of the strike committee, is a c mprotuise, to tho effect that tho terms wliieu the dock companies have already conceded are to go into opera tion on Nov. 1, provided tho men imice diaiely resume work. The prop, sal made by Cardinal Man ing, which is an inde pendent effort on his part to effect a settle ment. has not been referred to the dock directors, nor has it been approved by the council of consolidation, several members of which are out of town. THE MEN STILL HOLD OFF. Mr. Burns at a mass meeting of the strikers to-day asked the men whether they would accept rne proposal fur, an increase in their wages, to begin in November. The strikers unanimously opposed the resolu tion. The directors of tbe dock compa nies resolutely adhere to the terms recently agreed to t>y them by which the wages of tbe men are to be advanced on Jan. 1. Haherto tie directors have held a meeting twice daily. To-day o.dy one short and formal sitting was held, and sev eral of the directors wAv absont. A lead ing director, .Sir Henry Lee Marchant, will resign owing to the decision of the board in favor of the lord mayor’s proposal. THE NOVEMBER SCHEME NOT WANTED. Mr. Burns at to-night’s conference with Cardinal Manning, affirmed that the tem per of the strikers was such, that it would tie futile to urge the November compromise. Referring to tne Lord Mayor’s recent re mark, “You are the strike,” Mr. Burns denied that ho could influence the vast body of men against their uuitr'd will. Tno persistence of the strikers increases with tho swelling of the tide of subscrip tions. The home contributions are slightly failing, but Australia continues to pour in funds. To-day £1 400 was received, making a total from Australia of £15.509. C urea relief activities arei icreasiog. Many dock men fare better in idlenoastfaan wheu work ing. feeding the hungry. Foremost among the agencies of rci;*< is tho Salvation Army, which provides food for 8,000 persons daily at a nominal price. Throughout the strike d.striets rents are largely in arrears. Feeling no pinch of distress, tlie temper of tho doekmen is not toward a compromise. In ttie meantime, in spite of the strikers’ pickets, tho companies are gradually replenishing their worki g forces. The home office, in response to the appeal of the members of the corn exchange, for the protection of the workmen against the strikers’ pickets, to-d iy largely augmented the force of police around the docks and provided an additional steam launch to patrol the river. RELIEVING THE RIVER TRADE, The coneestion of the rive- trade is be coming relieved by the wharfingers gener ally accepting tho men’s terms. A number of vessels aro leaving the docks and going to tho wharves to unload. Tho wharves present almost their wonted busy aspect priorto the strike. Several dock directors were interviewed to-day regarding the situation. They all commented on the assertion made by the newspapers that tho companies were dis turbinz trade, while only a small amount of money waa involved in their dispute with tbe strikers.’ It Las been alleged that the concession of tho men’s ter is would cost the companies only £50,000. The directors said that this is a gross mistake, that the increaso demanded would amou it to £15,000 yearly, meaning £5,000,909 capi talized. burns’ bluster. Addroasing a second meeting of the strik ers Mr. iijpnn again as-ailed tbe Avne lean workmen for failure to contribute m >ney in aid of the strikers. "With all their bca t ing and blufTi g,” he said, "they have given nothing. If ■ever tbe dock coeu were in a position to congratulate tde-usalm it is now, for no ioss than £7,OX) was received yesterday alone, but narv a re i cent came from America. As for their sympauthy, 1 would say: • your pity, give us your bob.’ ” The people of Melbourne have sent i!0,- | 000 as a contribution to tho relief fund of the London strikers. A 810 DAY for receipts. Tho total amount of the relief subscrip tions received yesterday was £4,51)0. Tho wharfingers have posted placards through out the city entreating the meu not to allow a diversion of trade to o her ports.
