will at once be put in a sanitary condi
tion. The mooting indorsed the appeal of
Robert Smalls, to the public, published in
the Morning News yesterday.
AT PORT ROYAL.
At Port Royal the wharves and ware
houses arc badly damaged. It is impos
sible to make an estimate of the loss.
Mr. Campbell, merchant,at Port Royal,
says his loss will be SB,OOO. He states
that at one time the entire town of Port
Royal was five feet under water.
The bark Uluru MeGtlverv, which was
loaded at the Pacific Phosphate Com
pany’s work, for Carteret, N. J., and
ready to sail, is now high and dry in the
marsh. She will no doubt be wrecked.
Captain Gilkey and all hands are well.
The schooner George Senll rode tho
tempest and is safe. The tug Stono is in
a rice field, about 400 yards from the wa
ter. The dredge Wimpy was found bot
tom up. No lives were lost on her.
Thirty-two bodies, all colored, were
found between St. Helena Island bridge
and Beaufort ferry. It is estimated that
between 700 to HOO lives were lost. At
Spann's plantation, Kean’s Neck, thirty
seven were killed. It is estimated that
between 8,(X)0 and 10,000 inhabitants of
the sea islands are entirely destitute.
The cotton crop is ruined, and the
phosphate industry so badly crippled
that work will be sus|>ended. There Is
talk of appealing to the governor of the
state, asking the suspension of tho roy
alty on phosphate rock.
PILOT BOATS ASHORE.
All the pilot boats, five in number, are
ashore. One. the Loo, will have to be
abandoned, being one-half mile from wa
ter. It is estimated that it will cost
*5,000 to float the other four boats. The
Palmetto sank at the dock at Port Royal.
The pilots had narrow escapes of their
lives in leaving her.
AT THE NAVAL STATION.
The damage and loss of life at tho na
val station was much greater than at
first thought. Up to yesterday twenty
fit e bodies hud been recovered. Twenty
four of them were colored and oue white
—that of Dr. Hazel, the new quarantine
officer.
The new dry duck is filled with water
and mud. It will require some time to
clear it, - nd until that is done nothing
tan bo told of any other damage that it
may have sustained. A ll the boats about
the naval docks were badly damaged.

NO FATALITIES YET KNOWN,
The report that a number of dead
todies of negroes had been found at
Screven’s ferry was investigated yester
day and found to be untrue. Several
gentlemen who own plantations on the
Carolina side have gone over the ferry
and they- heard of no loss of life The
plantations on the Carolina side of tho
river are very low and it is likely that a
number of drownings occurred there.
What loss of life if. any there was, will
hardly lie known until the waters recede.
It is known that some of the houses on
the plantations were damaged, and it is
probable that some of their occupants
were drowned.
There was large loss of life on the plan
tations on the Carolina side in the storm
of lS*il, the number of deaths by drown
ing being estimated at 80. Bodies were
found on the plantations on both sides of
the river for mouths afterwards, and
many were missing after the storm who
were never heard of again.
WRECKS ALL ALONG.
The barkentine Clara E. McGilvery,
Oapt. Gilkey, was wrecked at Coosa w,
where she had loaded with phosphate for

RELIEF FOR THE SUFFERERS.
S. Ouokenhelmer & Sons to Send. SSOO
Worth of Provisions to Beaufort for
the Island Sufferers.
Messrs. S. Guekenheimer & Sons re
ceived a telegram yesterday from Mr. J.
J. Dale of Beaufort, who Is in New York.
Mr. Dale is a large merchant who owns
several stores at St. Helena Island. He
wired Mr. Ouckenheimer to send as soon
as possible, S4OO worth of good grits by
the tug Bessie, or any other good boat to
St. Helena, or wherever it was needed.
He stated in his telegram that several
members of tho produce exchange and
Chas. F. Mattlago, a prominent mer
chant of Beaufort, authorized tho buying
of that amount.
Mr. Guekenheimer wired back at once
that he would ship the grits this after
noon, as it was impossible to do so before.
He subscribed slooadditional in behaif of
his firm, and asked If it were not possible
to get the New York World to get up a
subscription list for the sufferers in that
locality. He also wired Mr.
W. H. Lockwood, chairman of
the relief committee at Beaufort,
stating that he bad reccivod a telegram
from Mr. Dale asking for the shipment of
S4OO worth of grits to St. Holena, and
asked if he should send the SIOO which
his firm subscribed In currency or pro
visions, and if in provisions, what kind
was wanted.
He asked also, if the people of Beaufort
desired that a subscription list be started
In Savannah for the sufferers on the sea
islands. On account of tho bad condition
of the wires, he did not hear from Beau
fort last night. He may get an answer
to-day, however, and it is probable that a
subscription list will be startod here at
once.
CONDUCT OF THE TUGS.
Oapt. Phillips Says They Did All That
It Was Possible to Have Done.
Capt. T. D. Phillips of the stoamer Pilot
Boy, of Charleston, arrived in the city
yesterday on the tug Forest City. His
boat is lying high and dry under the bluff
at Beaufort.
Capt. Pbil’i.is brings the first
accurate news of tho tugs which
were sent out from Port Royal and Beau
fort to help the City of Savannah, about
which so much has already neen suid.
The masters of the tugs have beeu greatly
censured for their failure to -render aid to
the people on tho wreck.
Capt. Phillips dofends tho tugs
and says mat they did their
best to reoeh tho wreck but were
unable to do so on account of the shallow
water in u nidi she was lying. They also
saw the Birmingham approaching and
concluded that it would not be necessary
to risk tho tmrs in the dangerous shoal
water in which the Savannah was lying.
Capt. Phillips makes tho following state
ment concerning the conduct of the tugs:
"In justice to Capt. Goo. 11. Hopkins,
of the tug Bristol (and not Capt. Trash),
who went to the assistance of the ill-fated
City of Savanuah on the afternoon of
Aug. 20th, I wish to state of my
own knowledge that the Bristol pro
ceeded to sea immediately upon the first
information, not even touching at the
wharf at Beaufort, where the collector
was in waiting to order her out. Capt.
Hopkins has been going to sea for over
twenty-three years, and there is not a
more skillful aud bravo master.
His reputation is irreproachable.
When the Bristol reached tho steamer
it was nearly dark, and she found the
City of Birmingham, a sister ship laying
by and woll able to care for the passen
gers. The Bristol's draught is 10 feet.
1 believe Ray seafaring man would say
that Capt. Hopkins did his duty, which
he has done many times before in relieving
in/ distressed vessels.
"I have not yet s >en a reixirt of the
first tug applied to, to rescue these pas
sengers. At 1 o'clock Tuesday after
noon Mr. M. E. lopez was notified that
one hundred and fifty passengers o“ the
City of Savannah were in the breakers
off Hunting Island. He sent the tug
Cecilia immediately down. She went as
near the wreck as the Bristol did and re
turned about the same time. The Cecilia
is also in command of an experienced
master. Both tugs had bar pilots, who
nr - supposed to know the coast. These
were the only two tugs afloat
around Beaufort, all the other steam
ers being high up upon tho beach.”
Capt. Phillips was not so positive about
the- Cecilia as the Bristol, not having
seen any one from the former boat, lie
heard that the Cecilia reached the wreck
between 6 and 7 o’clock
Tuesday afternoon, which is the time
Capt. Savage reports that the tug was
seen reproaching, and which so raised
the i >r.cs of those on the wreck, but
whie afterwards went away without
mat r any attempt to reuder aid.
THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY. SEPTEMBERS. 18113.
SAVED BY THE SIGNALS.
Observer Smyth’s Prodiction of the
Storm.
More stormy weather is in prospect
: Tho following telegram was received
| from the chief of tho weather bureau at
Washington by observer Smyth last
night:
Continue information signal. Disturbance
! in the middle gulf Increasing In energy.
1 Will probably move to the eastern gulf to
night. Dangerous for shipping in the east
gulf.
The local forecast for Savannah and
vicinity for to-day and to-night is as fol
lows:
Continued threatening weather and rain,
probably heavy, winds becoming southeast
and increasing in force probably by to-night.
Great credit is due Observer Smyth of
the Savannah weather office for his timo
ly warning of the approach of Sunday's
storm. Observer Smyth was the first to
foresee the dangerous nature of the
storm and telegraphed Washington, ad
vising the hoisting of danger signals on
Friday Aug. 25. The signals were or
dered up on the information furnished by
him.
Mr. Smyth's predictions of the starir,
were very accurate. In his synopsis of
of the weather rejgirt published in the
Morning News of Aug. 25. he said- "A
cyclonic disturbance centres apparently
off the East Florida coast. S}iip-n.asters
will do well to keep themselves advissed
during the next twenty-four hours, rela
tive to the cyclone’s progress.”
The first paragraph of the observer's
synopsis in Saturday's Morning News
read as follows: "The hurricane reported
yesterday (Friday) as central over the
Gulf Stream east of Florida has ad
vanced nearer to tho coast and now cen
ters east of Southern Florida, moving
northwest. The winds will continue
northeast to east during the next twenty
four hoars, attended by occasional rains,
increasing to gales this (Saturday) even
ing and night. Mariners will do well to
be on the lookout.”
If Observer Smyth's advice could have
t>eon extended by the vessels along the
coast hundreds of lives and thousands of
dollars of property could have been saved.
As it was. thousands of dollars of prop
erty was saved nearer home by those who
received and followed the observer's ad
vice.
The Baltimore steamship D. H. Miller
was preparing to go down the river Sat
urday morning. amt so was the harken tine
E. S. Powell, but being advised that a
hurricane was imminent the captains de
cided to keep their vessels in jort.
Both vessels would probably have been
wrecked had they gone to sea. A mem
ber of a large lighterage firm said that
liis firm had saved at least 615,000 by the
information of the coming storm re
ceived from the weather office.
Mr. \V. It. Pritchard, a planter on the
Ogeecliee river, said yesterday afternoon
that the warning had saved him SB,OOO.
A number of persons have called at the
weather office this week to thank the ob
server for his timely warning and stating
that they had profited greatly by heeding
it. A number of imrsons who
intended going on excursions
along the coast took the precaution
to call at the weather office for informa
tion. When they heard of the approach
ing storm they changed their plans, and
probably saved their lives by doing so.
Then-alue of the weather bureau is
pretty well understood by the business
men, especially those interest ;d in ship
ping ana also by the truck farmers and
rice planters around.the city, who make
frequent requests for information and
keep a close watch upon the reports.
There is not a mors efficient observer in
the service than Mr. Bmytli. The records
of the office have been carefully kept
since ho took charge of it All requests
for information are promptly attended to.
and his predictions are almost invariably
verified by results.
LIFTED TONS OF IRON.
Tremendous Force of tho Storm in
Savannah.
An illustration of the force of the storm
driven waters in the eastern part of the
city was discovered this week at the
wrecked acid chamber of the Savannah
Guano Company.
The two large acid '‘eggs,” weighing
several tons each, which were partially
imbedded in the ground floor of the build
ing, were found about 100 feet in the rear
of the building, where they had been car
ried by the force of the waters.
These “eggs'’ arc immense,
hollow, iron vessels egg shaped,
They are as heavy as a good sized cannon,
and that any amount of water could move
one of them would appear incredible.
Such is the case, however, as evidenced
by the position of the “eggs.”
DAMAGE TO THE PHOSPHATE.
About 25,000 tons of phosphate on the
Savannah, Florida and Western railway
wharf was greatly damaged by being
wet through and through. The ships
will not receive the phosphate in its pres
ent condition, requiring It to be thoroughly
steam dried before taking it on ship
board. As there is no steam drying ap
paratus lor phosphato at this port the
owners are in a dilemma as to what dis
position to malic of it. The damage is
calculated at about three dcdlars per ton
or over $7,000 in all. The phosphate was
for a cargo for a vessel that is expected
to arrive this month. J. M. Lang & Cos.
are the agents and tho phosphate was be
ing shipped on account of Penrose &
West of Ijoudon.
THE YEMASSEE IN PORT.
She Steams Into Charleston After an
Uneventful Voyage.
Charleston, Sept. I.—The steamship
Yemassoe, of the Clyde line, which left
New York Sunday, arrived here to-day
after a rather uneventful voyage. The
first hard weather, not exceedingly- hard,
however, was encountered at about 0 p.
in. Monday. It Increased, and head
winds and a lumpy sea were encountered.
It was plain to be 3een to
bo the part of prudence
to get away from the coast, and Capt.
McKee, whose forethought and prudence
were never more manifest, determined to
get out of roach of the coast and disas
ter.
A RUN TO TIIE OUI.P.
Consequently he hove to and ran some
fifteen miles toward tln*jrulf aud kept
that course for hours and Tiours until he
saw bis way clear for a resumption of the
journey. This was done at, an opportune
moment. Then the line to Charleston
was steadily kept. It will bes. en that
the run toward the gulf and into head
winds ami a billowy sea was the cause of
tho break in his schedule time. This
caused no kicking, because it was
seen to be unavoidable and for the
safety of tlv- ship and contents of
freight and life. Everybody was sick ex
cept one lauy. who stood out against
maldemer heroically. The passengers
looked a little the worse for the long voy
age and seasickness on arrival, but other
wise were in good spirits and were full
of commendatory comments of Capt. Mc-
Kee and the way in which he and his
crew managed things.
WRECKAGE VISIBLE EVERYWHERE.
All along thy route wreckage of every
kind was seen. There were evidences all
around that tho storm had played havoc
with the m r hant marine. About 180
miles off Clia leston a burning vessel was
seen. She vas afire aft, and was being
consumed as fast as the flames could de
stroy her. This vessel was the Dreeda
A. Willey of i'hompstoo, Me. No one was
on board. She was battling with wind
and wave and her destruction was only a
; question of time This was about tho
! only t ventful observation of the whole
I voyage.
THE LIGHT-HOUSE SERVICE.
Some of Its Heavy Losses In the Late
Hurricane.
Washington, Sept. I—T9w* Hebt-honas
service, as a result of the recent storm
near Charleston, sustained serious losses,
among them the total loss of the lightship
stationed off Rattlesnake Shoals. Morris
Island's range light, keeper's dwelling at
Fort Sumter, light -house depot at Castle
Pinckney, light-house tenders Wistaria
and Taros badly damaged and all the
buoys in Charleston harbor destroyed or
out of place.
ASIATIC CHOLERA.
Death From the Disease at Jersey
City Officially Announced.
New York, Sept. I.—The health inspec
tor of Jersey Citv announces officially
that the death of Martin Crowe, at the
Jersey City hospital, was caused by Asi
atic cholera. Another case, that of Mrs.
Khoda Black, suspected to be suffering
from the same disease, is still under in
vestigation.
CHOLERA RAGING IN ITALY.
Rome, Sept. I.—Two fresh cases of
cholera, and two deaths are reported in
Genoa on Tuesday. Seven fresh cases
were found in tho city of Alessandria
yesterday. In Palmero the number of
fresh eases averages thirty daily. Sev
eral eases of cholera have been found in
this city, Messina and Catania.
THE CHOLERA AT GRIMSBY.
London, Sept. I.—The port of Grimsby,
in Lincolnshire, has been declared in
fected witn cholera, and traffic between
it 3nd other British ports is prohibited
during September. There were eighty
deaths in Grimsby from what was called
at first diarrhoea and later choleraic dis
ease. The general belief now is that many
of these deaths were due to choleru.
PICKED UP ADRIFT.
The Steamer Sarnia for three Weeks
Derelict in Midocean.
Queenstown, Sept. I.—The steamer
Montevidean. Capt. Calvert, from Mon
treal, towed to anchorage in this harbot
early this morning tho steamer Sarnia
which she picked up adrift in midocean.
All tho passengers on board the Sarnia
are well and the cattle are uninjured.
The Sarnia sailed from Montreal on July
29. On August 4 she broke her thrust
shaft. Ail efforts to repair the damage
were fruitless, and for days the vessel
drifted helplessly. As the weather re
mained calm the passengers experienced
little physical inconvenience, although
they suffered keen anxiety after two
weeks had passed without the sight of
land. On August 25 the Montevidean was
sighted, and took tho Sarnia in tow about
1,000 miles from Cork. The rest of the voy
age was uneventful. The Sarnia now
awaits the arrival of tug bouts which will
take her to Liverpool.
CAUGHT, EUT ESCAPED.
A Negro on the Point of Being Pun
ished for Indecency Gets Away.
Columbia, S. C., Aug. I.—Last night a
uegro named Jim Thompson made
himself so conspicuous about the
12-year old daughter of Sectionmas
tcr J. W . McDaniel, who had left
her, with her little brother, in tho
woods about tan miles from here, that
McDaniel and others chased him; but he
escaped until to-day. when he was caught.
He was surrounded by the men, with
open knives, and a buggy trace was held
ready; but Thompson managed to pull
away and run into the woods. Hounds
were sent after him, but ho soon tamed
them, and is still at largo.
SHOCKING CRIME.
A Thousand Negroes Scouring the
Country for tha Fiend.
Memphis, Tenn., Sept. I.—Etta Ivy, a
respectable colored girl, was outraged
and murdered on Wednesday by Andrew
Wilkorson, a notorious negro desperado
and ex-convict. After killing tho girl
Wilkorson mutilated her body- in a mau
nor similar to the atrocities practiced by
“Jack the Ripper.” Wilkorson then fled,
but he is being pursued by- more than a
thousand negroes, who declare they will
burn the brute at the stake. Blood
hounds have been procured from Jackson,
and the chase will be kept up until the
murderer is captured.

fs set apart as a legal ho'iday to be known as

in said act concerning tho duty of banks as
regards the presenting for payment or ac
ceptance and of the protesting and giving no
tice of the dishonor of bills of exchange, hank

grave doubts exist as to the legality of said
act; but, whereas, it Is the manifest policy cof
this state that the first Monday In September
should be observed as a legal holiday; and,
whereas. It Is meet and proper that all per
sons in every calling and business should
have an opportunity of celebrating said day

much for which to be thankful.
