TnE OKI!AT STORM OF 1881.
In the proat storm of IsSl the barome
ter fell to only 29.08 and
the wind had reached a velocity
Of 00 miles an hour wbeu the anemometer
was blown away. The observer esti
mated the velocity at between 70 and 80
miles an hour.
NO REPORTS FROM OTITF.R STATIONS.
Observer Smyth received no reports
from any station outside of Savannah
last nielit. or durine yesterday, the wires
ail beinedown. The storm center passed
Savannah at midnight and shortly after
the barometer began to rise. Ihe ob
server expected another blow in two or
three hours. The observer’s office was
prett y well soaked by the storm.
Storm Notes.
Before the heaviest part of the storm
struck, Harmon wharf, near the Savan
nah. Florida and Western wharves, broke
loose from its moorings and was floating
about. It lodged up against the Lower
Cotton Press building and was beating
against it heavily. The water in that
locality, just below the end of Bay street,
was two feet deep, and the wharves were
entirely coverod to a much greater
depth.
The bark Ormus. lying at Kinsey’s old
mill, was blown across the river. The
steamer Flora, lying at the foot of Whit
aker street, was blown upon the wharf,
but was gotten off before the tide fell.
She was run into by a tug during the
first of the blow and startod leaking.
The pilotboat Neca, which was lying at
the foot of Lincoln street, was taken in
tow by two tugs and earriod up to the
Central railroad slip.
For the first time, last night, since the
quarantine was instituted against the
yellow fever districts, Health Officer
Brunuer had absolutely nothing to re
port. The telegraph wires being down
between Savannah and Brunswick and
in every other direction as well, no ad
vices were received as to*the state of the
fever at Brunswick. The city’s quaran
tine was maintained in spite of the
storm, however, and all trains were ex
amined as strictly as upon any other day
since the quarantine was instituted.
A live wire became crossed a fire alarm
wire early in the afternoon and the alarm
01 was rung in. Fireman Flynn started
out in Assistant Chief Fireman, Mouro’s
buggy to notify him. At Liberty and Ab
ercorn streets his horse slipped on the
asphalt pavement and feel in a heap. The
force of the sudden stop threw Flynn
from the buggy entirely over the ani
mal's bead, but fortunately he fell on a
soft spot and was not Injured. As soon as
he recovered himself ho continued on his
way, but discovering what had caused
the alarm he turned about and wept
back.
Hoofs and windows wero blown away
helter-skelter, into the streets and lanes.
The tin roof on Fitzpatrick’s gaiety thea
tre was rolled up as if the work had been
done by an expert tinner. As the tin
rolled across the sky-light it smashed
part of it as if it were
paper and rolled into the lane behind the
building. The rain poured in through
the roof until it was raining about as
badly inside the building as it was with
out.
The exchange bell kept ringing all
night. Its connection with the firo alarm
system became crossed with some live
wire, and the ringing came at intervals,
as if it wero a signal from someone in
distrese.
At 3 o’clock this morning it is reported
that two negro children were drowned
over oil Hutchinson's Island.
The wind mill on the Thunderbolt shell
road near Bonaventure cemetery was
blown, down early in the afternoon
and fell directly across the road.
Parties who were out on the shell road
in the early partof tlioafternoon reported
that this was the only obstruction of im
portance on the road at the time.
A drunken negro was found sitting in
side the door of A. 8. Thomas ,Nt Co’s fur
niture store at No. 91(1 Broughton street
at *) o'clock last nigth. He had evidently
stumbled in in search of a refuge from
the storm. The door was either unlocked
or was easily pressed in. Mr. C. C. Sia
ter. an employe of the store, found him
sitting inside the door, which
■was oi>en for about six
inches. He placed him under
arrest and took him to the market, where
he was turned over to the police on duty
there. At the barracks the negro gave
his name \s Henry Fields.
The police reported fifteen prisoners
for court last night. Nearly all the ar
rests were made before the storm began,
however.
THE HURRICANE OF 1881.
That of Last Night More Terrifflc
Than Its Predecessor.
It was on Saturday, August 27, identi
cal with yesterday’s date, 1881, that the
signal service at Washington dispatched
a telegram to this city forewarning of a
hurricane, centered then at St. Thomas,
but on the point of entering tlie coast of
South Carolina, on Saturday night at 7
o’clock, the gale in Savannah had already
assumed the proportions of a hurricane,
and its memerable violence and destruc
tiveness proceeded rapidly irotn that
ho ur.
Comparisons will naturally be made be
tween the results of the visitation of 1881
and those of the gale of yesterday; and,
as the damage and losses of 1881 were
then without precedent, wo have reason
to fear, with only meagre rei<orts thus
far received, that yesterday’s hurricane
will be found to have been the most terri
fic Savannah has ever experienced.
NO EI.BCTKIC WIRES THEN.
It may be noted as to tho local condi
tions now, and not then present, that the
salient objects fur injury’ or destruction,
such as are at present afforded far and
wide over tho city through tho compre
hensive use of electrical appliances, of ne
cessity escaped in 1881. Savannah had
then neither electric cars nor the dual
system of electric illumination, with both
of which the city is now supplied on
a prodigious scale. And these valuable
economics are invariable sufferers in such
crises, and their losses will no doubt
greatly swell the total for 189.3.
But there were abundant and costly
sacrifices everywhere in the path of the
storm of 1881, and the fury of the storm
availed itself of every object, either to
wound or to demolish. Now, as then, the
Morning News building paid the tribute
of part of its roof: and in
fact the fanciful penchant of the
storm of 188| for tearing away
the tin from hundreds of buildings had its
; counterpart in the antics of yesterday's
| gale
TUB DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THEM.
The direction of the wind yesterday
was identical with that of Ihhl, and. very
j naturally, the localities exposed to its,
! unobsrueted fury were the same. Avery
; notable fact, however, is that while the
: storm of 1881, having abated at 1 o’clock
a. m. on Sunday, remained from
j that hour quiescent, while the hurricane
I of yesterday, having suddenly exhausted
| itself at midnight, was succeeded an
i hour later by another, even more violent,
though attended by less rain.
In 1881 many thoroughfares were block
aded by fallen trees, and everywhere
piles of roofing, bricks, tiles, fragments of
awnings, signs, posts, and other debris,
attested the mischievous ferocity of the
wind. No part of the city escaped.
Fences everywhere went down, shutters
were unhinged or shattered, and the city
and surroundings presented an unparal
leled picture of misery, disaster and
wreckage, the exact losses in money be
ing then, as now, unattainable but im
mense.
A NIGHT FOR THIEVES.
They Had Everything in Their Favor
Last Night.
Last night was a good night for sneak
thieves and housebreakers. Under cover of
the-storm and the darkness they had every
advantage. The (ml ice exercised more
than ordinary vigilance, however, in pat
rolling the streets and keeping a lookout
for suspicious characters.
The southern part of the city has been
a regular field for robberies for the last
three or four months. No less than half
adozon burglaries have been committed in
the last few weeks. The people south of
the park are the principal
sufferers. Thieves seem to have
free license at that section of the city to
steal and rob as they please. Two
houses on Duffy street were robbed a few
nights ago without detection. The steal
ing has become so frequent and bold that
the necessity for employing private
watchmen by citizens to guard their
houses and yards has been considered.
The mounted police patrol the streets
and lanes, but while the officer is on
West Broad street thieves have ample
time to work elsewhere. The frequency
and boldness of the robberies that are be
ing committed have made timid people
nervous and unwilling to remain at their
homes without protection. At no time
within the past five or six years has there
been the robbing and stealing that has
been done recently.
A STORM STORY.
A Demented Boy Saved by His Faith
ful Little Dog.
From the New York Herald.
There is no more thrilling chapter of
the hurricane’s history than the search
for Torgeval Jacolncci, a 14-year-old Ital
ian boy, living at Woodbridge, N. J., who
was lost in Moonachte swamp.
The lad is not robust and ho has become
rather week minded through homosick
ness. Ho has been known to cry for days
to be taken back to his mothor, who lives
in Naples.
Little Torgeval Jacolncci left his broth
er's house, two miles from Hackensack.
He was gone some time befc -e his disap
pearance was noted. The boj was re
ported to have gone in the direction of
the swamp and to have told neighbors
that he was going home to soo his mother.
SCOURED THE SWAMP.
A searching party was organized and
scoured the swamp in the tempest until
midnight. Then the searchers with dif
ficulty found their way home in the fierce
storm that was raging. They had not
found any trace of the missing boy. The
search was resumed by several men
Thursday at daybreak.
The party pushcii on through several
swamp paths, but without encouragement
until toward evening, when a little fox
terrier, a pet of Torgeval’s manifested
great uneasiness, running about wildly
and barking fiercely.
The brother of Torgeval encouraged the
dog, and in a few minutes the animal
darted into a thicket and was hoard
whinning and barking. The men pressed
through the dense growth and found the
dog licking the face of its unconscious
young master. Tho little fellow, over
come in his wanderings, had found shelter
under a heavy growth of small birch on
comparatively high ground, while the
surrounding swamp was drowned under a
lake of water.
WILL GO TO ITAT.Y.
The boy was without any garment or
protection from tho elements, except a
pair of thin trousers, and the rescuing
party of sturdy men wept at his pitiful
plight.
They were prepared with restoratives
and soon brought the lad to consciousness.
Torgeval was then carried tenderly to his
brother’s house, where medical attend
ance was procured and he revived, but his
mind was more seriously affected than
before.
Arrangements will be made to send him
to his mother in Italy.

THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY. AUGUST 28. 1593.
TEARS OF REPENTANCE.
They Arc Jewels to Be Stored in
Heavenly Caskets.
Dr. Talmage Illustrates the Ancients’
Use of the Tear-Bottle and Urges the
Weak and Weary to Avail Them
selvee of God’s Lachrymatory.
Brooklyn, Aug. 27.—Rev. T. DeWitt
Talmage chose a unique theme as his sub
ject for to-day, viz.: “A Bottle of Tears.
the text selected being Psalms 56:8, “Put
thou my tears into thy bottle.”
Hardly a mail lias come to me for
twenty years that has not contained let
ters saying that my sermons have com
forted the writers of those letters. I have
not this summer nor for twenty years
spoken on the platform of any out-door
meeting but coming down I have been
told by hundreds of people the same
thing. So I think I will keep on trying to
be a “Son of Consolation.”
The prayer of my text was pressed out
of David’s soul by innumerable calami
ties; but it is just as appropriate for tho
distressed of all ages. Within the past
century, travelers and antiquarians have
explored the ruins of many of the ancient
cities, and from the very heart of those
buried splendors of other days have been
brought up evidences of customs that
long ago vanished from the world. From
among tombs of those ages have been
brought up lachrymatories, or lachry
mals, which are vials made of earthen
ware. It was the custom for the ancients
to catch what tears that they wept over
their dead in a bottle, and to place that
bottle in the graves of the departed ; and
we have many specimens of the ancient
lachrymatories, or tear-bottles, in our
museums.
When on the way from the Holy Land
our ship touched at Cyprus, we went
hack into the hills of that island and
bought tear-bottles which the natives had
dug out of the ruins of the old city. There
is nothing more suggestive to me than
the tear-bottles which I brought home
and put among my curiosities. That
was the kind of bottle that my text al
ludes to, when David cries, “Put thou my
tears into thy liottlo.”
The text intimates that God has an in
timate acquaintance and perpetual re
membrance of all our griefs, and a vial,
or lachrymatory, or bottle, in which lie
catches and saves our tears; and I bring
to you the condolence of this Christian
sentiment. Why talk about grief ? Alas!
the world has Us pangs, and now, while
1 speak, there are thick darknesses of
soul that need to bo lifted. There are
many who are about to break under the
assault of temptation, and perchance, if
no words appropriate to their case be
uttered, they perish. I come on no fool's
errand. Put upon your wounds no salve
compounded by human quackery, but,
pressing straight to the mark, 1 hail you
as a vessel mid-sea cries to a passing
craft, “Ship ahoy!” and invite you on
board a vessel which lias faith for a rud
der, and prayer for sails, and Christ for
captain, and heaven for the eternal har
bor. Catherine Rheinfeldt, a Prussian,
keeps a boat with which she rescues the
drowning. When a storm comes on the
coast, and other people go to ttieir beds
to rest, she puts out in her bort for the
relief of the distressed, and hundreds of
the drowning has she brought safely to
tho oeach. In this life-boat of the gos
pel I put out to-day, hoping, by God's
help, to bring ashore at least one soul
that may now be sinking in the billows
of temptation and trouble. Tho tears
that were once caught in tho lachryma
tories brought up from Herculaneum
and Pompeii arc all gone, and the bottle
is as dry as the scoria of the volcano that
submerged them! but not so with
the bottle in which God gathers all our
tears.
First. I remark that God keeps perpet
ually the tears of repentance. Many a
man has awakened in the morning so
wretched from the night’s debauch that
he has sobbed and wept. Pains in the
head, aching in tho eyes, sick at heart,
and unfit to step into the light. He
grieves, not about his misdoing, but only
about his consequences. God makes no
record of such weeping. Of all the mil
lion tears that have gushed as the result
of such misdemeanor, not one ever got
into God’s bottle. They dried on the
fevered cheek, or were dashed down by
the bloated hand, or fell into the red wine
cup as it came again to the lips, foaming
with still worse intoxication. But when
a man is sorry for his past and tries to do
better —when he mourns his wasted ad
vantages and bemoans his rejection of
God’s mercy, and erics amid the lacera
tions of an aroused conscience for help
out of his terrible predicament, then God
listens; then heaven bows down; then
sceptres of pardon are extended from the
throne; then his crying rends the heart
of heavenly compassion; then his tears
are caught in God’s bottle.
You know the story of Paradise and
the Peri, i think it might be put to
higher adaptation. An angel starts from
the throne of God to find what thing it
can find on the earth worthy of being car
ried back to heaven. It goes down through
the gold and silver mines of earth, but
finds nothing worthy of transportation to
the celestial city. It goes down througli
the depths of the sea, where the pearls
lie, and finds nothing worthy of taking
back to heaven. But coming to the foot
of a mountain it sees a wanderer weeping
over his evil ways. Tho tears of the
prodigal start, but do not fail to the
ground, for the angel's wing catches
them, and with that treasure speeds back
to heaven. God sees the angel coming,
and says. “Behold the brighest gem of
earth, and the brightest jewel of heaven
—the tear of a sinner’s repentance.”
Oh ! when I see the Heavenly Shepherd
bringing a lamb from the wilderness;
when 1 hear the quick tread of the prodi
gal hastening home to find his father;
when 1 see a sailor-boy coining to the wharf
and hurrying away to beg his mother’s
pardon for long neglect and unkindness;
when 1 see the houseless coming ro God
for shelter,and the wretched and the vile,
and the sin-burned, and the passion
blasted appealing for mercy to a com
passionate God, 1 exclaim in eestacy and
triumph: “More tears for God's hot tie!”
Again, God keeps a tender remem
brance of all your sicknesses. How many
of you are thoroughly sound in body?
Not one out of ten! Xdo not exaggerate.
The vast majority of tho race arc con
stant subjects of ailments. There is some
one form of disease that you arc particu
larly subject to. You have a weak side,
or back, or are subject to headaches, or
faintnesses, or lungs easily’distressed. It
would not take a very strong blow to
shiver the golben bowl of life, or break
the pitcher at the fountain. Many of you
have kept on in life through sheer force
of will. You think no one can under
stand your distresses. Perhaps you look
strong, and ibis supimsed that you are a
hypochondriac. They say you are ner
vous—as if that were nothing! God
have mercy upon any man or woman
that is nervous! At times you sit alone
| in your room. Friends do not come. You
j feel an indescribable loneliness in your
sufferings, but God knows; God feels;
God compassionates. Ho counts the
sleepless nights; he regards the acute
ness of the pain; he estimates the hard
ness of breathing. While you pour out
the medicine from the bottle, and count
the drops. God counts all your falling
tears. As you look at the vials, filled
with nauseous draughts, and at the bot
tles of distasteful tonic that stand on the
shelf, remember that there is a larger
bottle than these, which is tilled with no
mixture by earthly apothecaries, but it is
God's bottle, in which Hi' hath gathered
all our tears.
Again. God remembers all the sorrows
of poverty. There is much want that
never comes to inspection. The deacons
of the church never see it The eouip
trollers of almshouses never r<'i>ort it. it
cornea not to church, for it has uo appro
priate apparel. It makes no apical for
help, but chooses rather to suffer than ex
pose its bitterness. Fathers who fail to
gain a livelihood, so that they and their
children submit to constant privation:
sewing-women, who cannot ply the needle
quick enough to earn them shelter and
bread. But whether reported or uncom
plaining, whether in seemingly comfort
able parlor, or in damp cellar, or in hot
garret, God's angels of mercy are on the
watch. This moment those griefs arc be
ing collected. Down on the back streets,
in all she alleys, amid shanties and log
cabins, the work goes on. Tears of want
—seething in summer's heat, or freezing
in winter’s cold—they fall not unheeded.
They are jewels for heaven’s casket.
They are pledges of Divine sympathy.
They are tears for God’s bottle.
Again, the Lord preserves the remem
brance of all paternal anxieties. You
see a man from the most infamous sur
roundings step out into the kingdom of
God. Ha has heard the sermon. He has
received no startling providential warn
ing. What brought him to this new
mind? This is the secret: God looked
over the bottle in which he gathers the
tears of his people, and lie saw a parental
tear in the bottle which has been for
forty years unanswered. He said: Go,
too, now: and let me answer that tear!”
and forthwith the wanderer is brought
home to God. Oh, this work of training
children for God! It is a tremend
ous work. Some people think it easy.
They have never tried it. A child is
placed in tho arms of the young parent.
It is a beautiful thing. You look into the
laughing eyes. You examine the dimples
in its feet. You wonder at its exquisite
organism. Beautiful plaything! But on
some nightfall, as you sit rocking that
little one, a voice seems to fall straight
from the throne of God, saying, “That
child is immortal! The stars shall die,
but that is an immortal! Suns shall grow
old with age and perish, but this is an
immortal!”
Now 1 know with many of you this is
the chief anxiety. You earnestly wish
your children to grow up rightly, but
you find it hard work to make them do
us you wish. You check their temper.
You correct their waywardness; in the
midnight your pillow is wot with weep
ing. You l have wrestled with God in
agony for the salvation of your children.
You ask me if all that anxiety has been
ineffectual, I answer: No. God un
derstands your heart. He understands
how hai'd you have tried to make that
daughter do right, though she is so very
petulant and reckless; and what pains
you have bestowed in teaching that son
to walk in tho path of uprighuess,though
he has such strong proclivities for dissi
pation. I speak a cheering word. God
heard every counsel you ever offered him.
God has known all the sleepless nights
you have ever passed. God has seen
every sinking of your distressed spirit.
God remembers your prayers. He keeps
eternal record of your anxieties; and in
his lachrymatory, not such as stood in
ancient tomb, but in one that glows and
glitters beside the throne of God. he
holds all those exhausting tears. The
grass may be rank upon your graves, and
the letters upon your tombstone defaced
with the elements before the Divine re
sponse will come; but he who hath de
clared, “I will be a God to thee, and to
thy seed after thee,” will not forget; and
some day, in heaven, while you are
ranging the fields of light, the gates of
pearl will swing hack, and garlanded
with glory, that long wayward one will
rush into your outstretched arms of wel
come and triumph. The hills may depart
and the earth may burn and the stars
fall and time perish, but God will break
his oath and tram pie upon his promises—
never! never!
Again, God keeps a perpetual remem
brance of all bereavements. These are
the trials that cleave the soul, and throw
the red hearts of men to be crushed in the
wine press. Troubles at the store you
may leave at the store. Misrepresenta
tion and abuse of tho world you may leave
on the street where you found them. The
lawsuit that would swallow your honest
accumulations may be left in the court
room. But bereavements are home
troubles, and there is no escape from
them. You will see that vacant chair.
Your eye will catch at the suggestive
picture. You cannot fiy the presence of
such ills. You go to Switzerland t 6 get
clear of them, but more sure-footed than
the mule that takes you up the Alps, your
troubles climb to the tip-top and sit shiv
ering on tho glaciers. You may
cross the seas, but they can outsail
the swiftest steamer. You may take
caravan, and put out across the Arabian
desert, but they follow you like a simoon,
armed with suffocation. You plunge in
to tho Mammoth cave, but they hang like
stalactites from the roof of the great
cavern. They stand behind with skeleton
fingers to push you ahead. They stand
before you to throw you back. They run
upon you like reckless horsemen. They
charge upon you with gleaming spear.
They seem to come hap-hazard. scattering
shots from the gun of a careless sports
man. But not so. It is good aim that
sends them just right; for God is the
archer. This summer many of you will
especially feel your grief as you go to
places where once you were accompanied
by those who are gone now. Your
troubles will follow you to the seashore,
and will keep up with the lighting ex
press in which you speeed away. Or,
tarrying at home, they will sit beside you
by day, and whisper over your pillow
night after night. I want to assure you
that you are not left alone; and that your
weeping is heard in heaven. You will
wander among the hills and say: “Up
this hill, last year, our boy climbed with
great glee, and waved his cap from the
top;” or, “This is the place where our
little girl put flowers in her hair, and
looked up in her mother's face,” until
every drop of blood in your heart tingled
with gladness, and you thanked God with
a thrill of rapture; and you looked around
as much as to say: “Who dashed out
that light? Who filled this cup with
gall? What blast froze up these foun
tains of the heart ?” Some of you have
lost your parents within the last twelve
months. Their prayers for you are
ended. You take up their picture, and
try to call hack the kindness that once
looked out from those old. wrinckled
faces, and spoke in such a tremulous
voice; and you say it is a good picture,
but all the while you feel that, after all,
it docs not Uo justice; and you would give
almost anything—you would cross the sea,
you would walk the earth over—to hear
just one word from those lips that a few
months ago used to call you by your first
name, though so long you yourself have
becu a parent. Now,you have done your
best to hide your grief. You smile when
.von do not feel like it. But though you
may deceive the world, God knows. He
looks down upon tlie empty cradle, ujioii
the desolated nursery, upon the stricken
home, and upon the broken heart, and
says: "This is the way I thresh the
wheat; this is the way 1 scour my jewels!
Cast thy burden on my arm and I will
sustain you. Alt those tears I have
gathered into my bottle!”
But what is the use of having so many
tears in God’s lachrymatory? In that
great casket or vase, why does God pre
serve all your troubles? Through all tho
ages of eternity, what use of a great col
lection of tears? Ido not know that they
will be kept there, for ever. 1 do not
know but that in some distant age of
heaven an angel of God may look into tho
bottle and fin I it as empty of tears as tlie
lachrymals of earthenware dag up from
the ancient city. Where have the tears
gone to? What sprite of hell hath been iu
vudiug God's palace, and hath robbed the
lachrymatories * Nme. Those were sanc
tified sorrows, and those tears were

Let the ages of hoaven roll on—the

ended; the Koh-i-noor diamonds that
make kings proud, the precious stones
adorned Persian tiara and flamed in the
robes of Babylonian processions, forgot
ten ; the Golcouda mines charred in the
last conflagration; but firm as the ever
lasting hills, and pure as the light that
streams from the throne, and bright as
the river that flows from the eternal rock,
shall gleam, shall sparkle, shall flame for
ever these transmuted tears of God’s bot
tle.
Meanwhilo, let the empty lachrymatory
of heaven stand forever. Txst no hand
touch it. Let no wing strike it. Let no
collision crack it. Purer than beryl or
chrysoprasus. Let it stand on the step of
Jehova’s throne and under the arch of the
unfading rainbow. Passing down the
corridors of the palace, the redeemed of
earth shall glance at it, and think of all
the earthly troubles from which they
were delivered, and say, each to each,
“That is what we heard on earth.”
“That is what the Psalmist spoke of.”
“There once were put our tears.” “That
is God’s bottle.” And while standing
there inspecting this richest inlaid vase
of heaven, the towers of the palace dome
strike up this silvery chime: “God hath
wiped away all tears from all faces.
Wherefore comfort- one another with
these words.”
