A MONTH OF GREAT STORMS.
August, 1893, Will go Into the World’s
History ol Disasters.
The Record of the Cyclone Here—The
Highest Velocity of the Wind From
the Weather Bureau’s Statistics 80
Hiles an Hour—The Barometer Read
ing the Lowest Known—The Rainfall
Nearly Half a Foot—The Preceding
Cyclones Which Swept up the Coast.
August, 1893, will go into history as the
month of the greatest storm ever known,
involving a loss of life and property, the
extent of which, evou jet, it is iaqiossible
to estimate.
The weather bureau's report, just
issued, puts the maximum velocity of the
■wind at the Savannah observatory on the
pight of the 27th during five minutes at
72 miles an hour from the northeast.
The extreme velocity, from a record of
one minute, was 80 miles an hour. The
rainfall of Sunday and Sunday night was
nearly 5J{ inches, swelling the rainfall
for the entire month to a fraction
over V 2% inches, the greatest August rain
fall known here with two exceptions. In
August, 1871, the rainfall was eighteen
inches and in 1885 it was fourteen inches.
The nearest to that of this year was 1234'i
inches in 1872. The average for August
is a fraction over 7 ]4 inches. The tre
mendous fall during the lust week make*
the excess for August over 5 inches and
adds to the year's rain up to this time an
excess over 4 inches.
The temperature last montli was a de
gree below the average for August, being
711’. The highest temperature reached
was 92° and the lowest was 07°. -
THE LOWEST BAROMETER KNOWN.
The barometer was the lowest ever
known here, Deing 28.29 at 1 o'clock Mon
day morning, the 28th. during the lull be
tween the first sweep of the hurricane
and that which followed with such ter
rific force.
The hydrographic bureau's reports of
the series of cyclones which swept the
coast during August, ending with
that which resulted in such
tremendous loss, is of interest.
The weather over the North Atlantic
during the first half of the month was
fine. A few areas of low pressure existed
in the higher latitudes, but were not ac
companied by gales.
The latter half of the month was
marked by very heavy weather in that
part of the ocean east of the United
States coast and between Newfoundland
and the Windward Islands, West In
dies.
FOUR CTCLONES.
Four distinct tropical cyclones, follow
ing each ®ther in quick succession, trav
ersed this part of the ocean, and were se
verely felt till they had disappeared to
the north.
The first passed to the westward
of Bermuda about 8 o'clock a. m.,
-Vug. 18, curved to the N. N. E., and was
central at noon of that day about lat. 35°
N., lon. (55° W. At noon of the 17th it
was central about lat. 44° N., lon. 56° 80'
W. Thence it continued on its N. N. E.
course, crossed close to Cape Race, and
disappeared to the N.
The second cyclone originated to the
northeast of Martinique on the 15th,
passed south of St. Croix on the 16th, and
at nbon of the 17th was central near the
east end of Hayti. During .the night Af
the 16th and 17th, the wind blew with
hurricane force at Puerto Rico. At noon,
Aug. 18, the center was near Turks Is
land, and at noon of the 19th about 00
miles northeast of Cat Island, Bahamas.
On the 20th. near lat. 29° N., lon. 76'
W.. it curved to the N'd and E'd and was
central at noon, Aug. 21 about lat. 37*30'
N., lon. 71° W. On that day several ves
sels felt the full force of the storm, most
of them recording the wind 10-12; lowest
barometer 28.60 inches. On the night of
the 21st it crossed Nova Scotia and on the
22nd passed over the northern part of
Newfoundland, whence it moved about
northeasterly.
THE ONE NEXT TO THE LAST.
The third cyclone originated northeast
of St. Thomas, Aug. 20, moved north
westerly and then north-northwest
erly. The British steamship Alps,
Capt. Byers, encountered it on the night
of the 20th, lat. 21° N., lon. (54° HO' W.,
force of wind 10. It appeared off Hatteras
at midnight of the 23d and moved directly
toward New York, where it was central
at noon of the 24th. During the night of
the 23d and on the 24th vessels near the
coast reported very heavy seas, and tor
rents of rain. Much damage to shipping
was done in the vicinity of New York and
many lives were lost. Lowest barometer,
20.18 ins.
The fourth cyclone, and which is the
most disastrous ever known, was reported
on the 25th N. E. of Crooked Island.
Thence it moved northwesterly along the
Bahamas on the 215th and 27th ans struck
the coast near Savannah on the night of
tlie 27th. and continued until tliefollowing
morning.
The hydrographic bureau's forecast for
tlie remainder of September is as follows:
Moderate or fair weather generally over
the North Atlantic. Occasional gales
north of the 35th parallel; also near the
American coast. Tropical cyclones, or
hurricanes, very probable. Fog west of
the 43d meridian, across the Grand
Banks: also east of New England. Ice
bergs in the vicinity of Belle Isle.

* )r - Vass Preaches on the Work of the
Hurricane.
L. C. Vass took the recent storm
for tl,u subject of his discourse at the
Doming service at the First Presbyterian
church yesterday. He read the 107th
Psalm, which describes God’s control of
the elements, and based his sermou upon
tt; ideas set forth in the psalm.
■he first idea advanced by Dr. Vass
"as '.h<- powerlessness of man before God.
r?'' Quoted the scriptures which declare
, l: ' vanity of man and the briefness of
' days, and contrasted the strength of
man with that of'the Almighty.

BROUGHT IN THB SOUTHER.
The Birmingham Picked Up the Crew
And the Dessoug; the Vessel.
The steamship Dessoug, Capt. Edwards,
arrived - from Philadelphia yesterday
morning having in tow the waterlogged
schooner Joseph Souther, which was
abandoned after her dockload, masts,
cabin and aliflott everything else had
washed away.
Strange to say the Birming
ham, one of the shifis of the
Ocean Steamship Company, came
along Monday and picked up the captain,
Hudson, and six of the crew from the
Souther and then the Dessoug came along
and seeing her an abandoned wreck took
her in tow to this port. The captain of
the Jo, soph Soutlier made his protest be
fore the pQ.rt warden of the city.
The schooner was loaded with lumber
from Doboy and was bound for Boston.
What remains of her cargo is quite valua
ble. and vessel and all is probably worth
$15,000 to $20,000. The Dessoug having
found her abandoned and brought her into
port, the schooner and cargo becomes the
property of the Ocean Steamship Com
pany. There may be seme trouble with
the companies which have insured the
vessel, however, if the Claim is held too
strongly. The wreck was towed inside
of Tybee bar yesterday and anchored, and
last night was brought up to the city by
the tugs Jacob Paulsen and H. M. C.
Smith.
AT THE THEATER.
Milton Nobles in the Phoenix To mor
row Night.
The sale of seats cfor Milton Nobles
“The Phoenix” to-morrow night is in pro
gress. M
Plays may come and plays may go,
but "The Phcenix’’ goes on forever—or
promises to do so. It is now in its twelfth
consecutive year, and its drawing powers
seem to increase with age. The play
possesses a peeuiiar charm, whose influ
ence is not confined to any particular
class of theater-goers. It reaches all.
The realistic fire scene, which termi
nates the Prologue, and the skillfully con
ceived gambling scene, with its startling
denouement, which ends the second
act. are thrilling enough to satisfy the
most intense craving for sensationalism,
while the story of the immortal "villain.”
who “still pursued’’ the virtuous maiden,
is a stroke of genius.
Mr. Nobles is too well known to Savan
nah theater goers to need any introduc
tion. He closed last season here with
“For Revenue Only” and his company is
one of the first to play here this season.
Mr. Nobles is an example of first, last
and always.

New York Sun’s Review of Saturday’s
Market.
New York, Sept. 3.—The Sun, in its re
view of Saturday's market, says: “Al
though crop advices were not quite so bad
as had been expected, yet in some re
spects they were unfavorable. Receipts
were small aDd prices advanced at one
time rather sharply, though Liverpool
news was disappointing, the advance
there being very slight in response to the
rise here Friday. Toward the close there
was some realizing, and considerable of
the early improvement was accordingly
lost. The closing tone was barely
steady. Prices advanced 8 to 9
points, and closed 1 to 3 points higher
than Friday; Sains of 89.300 bates. Liver
pool advanced 2t£ to 3 points, closing
firm. New Orleans advanced 8 to 10
points, considerable of which was lost
later. The receipts at the ports were
2,880 bales, against 1,837 this day last
week and 5,183 last year. Southern mar
kets, in many cases, were higher. There
was an advance of 1-16@3 1-16 cents at
one of them. Spot prices here were 7 1-16
cents for middling uplands, with
sales of 3-14 bales for spinning.

THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY. SEPTEMBER 4. 1893.
STREET RAILWAY WRECK.
The Most Appalling of Its Kind Ever
Recorded,
The Brake Failing, a Crowded Car
Rushes Down a Grade, Snaps in
Twain a Telegraph Pole and Plunges
Into a Bar-room, Wrecking the Same
and Itself—Two Killed Outright, Six
Fatally Injured, and Forty More or
Less Hurt—List of the Killed and
Badly Wounded.
Cincinnati, 0., Sent. 3.—What will
prove perhaps the most disastrous street
car aocident ever recorded took place this
evening at 7 o’clock. An electric car
dashed dojvn a hill at a frightful speed,
left the track, broke a telegraph pole and
shot into a saloon, wrecking both itself
and the structure it struck. Asa result
of the collision, two people are dead, six
are injured beyond recovery and nearly
forty more are hurt, many dangerously.
STORY OF TilE CATASTROPHE.
It was soon after the Eden park Sun
day afternoon concert had closed, and
the nightly open-air audience, as usual,
made a rush for the cars “down town.’’
The Avondale car, No. 444, was soon
packed with people, nnd Motorman Geo.
Devine ran without incident until he
reached the grade, a mile long, that
descends into the business part of theeity.
Suddenly, the brake became unmanage
able. and the heavy car began to descend
with perilous speed. Conductor Charles
H. Smith ran to his comrade’s assistance,
but tho break was obstinate and the two
men turned their attention to the fright
ened passengers.
PASSENGERS KEPT THEIR SEATS.
By persuasion and force the half-hun
dred or more inmates were kept in their
seats, while, the car, now swaying to and
fro, shot down the hill with awful veloc
ity, until, reaching the intersection of
Hunt street and Broadway, it left
the track, and, smashing a telegraph pole,
which stood in its path into two pieces,
plugged into the saloon of George
Schmidt, at No. 351 Broadway.
THE FRIGHTFUL RESULTS.
There were fortv-tive people in the car
and not one of them escaped injur /. The
motorman and conductor jumped iust be
fore the car 6truek the i>ole, and thus
escaped a horrible death. The car was
smashed into splinters, as was the front of
the saloon and bar. From the debris
arose agonizing cries and moans that at
once told those within hearing that a ter
rible accident had occurred. Six patrol
wagons were upon the scene within a few
minutes and the dead and dying were
quickly transferred to tho city hospital.
The entire medical force was soon busily
engaged in rendering such assistance as
was in their power. The killed are.
LIST OF THE UNFORTUNATES.
Marce Malona, aged 12, instantly
killed.
Mrs. Sarah Dublin, aged 85, fractured
skull, died at city hospital ten minutes
after arrival there.
Six fatally wounded arc:
Lizzie Johnson, aged 21, Ridgeway
avenue, city, skull fractured, will die.
Clara Breckley, aged 56, Clinton street,
skull fructured ana concussion of face,
pronounced fatal,
Mrs. Mary Breckly, 56 Clinton street,
skull fractured and injury to spine, will
die.
Edna Ford, 448 Ninth street, both
thighs fractured, lacerated body wounds
and internal injuries, possibly fatal.
Louise Best, 250 Wade street, fractured
skull and internal injuries, will die.
Allen Best. 250 Wade street, both legs
broken, skull fractured at base of brain
and internal injuries, will die.
NONE OF THE SIX CAN SURVIVE.
The motorman claims that the ear had
attained uo unusual momentum when the
brake refused to do is office. Of the six
given above as fatally injured, it is be
lieved that no one can survive for forty
eight hours, while others of the injured
may develop more dangerous wounds than
those apparent at the first hasty examina
tion.
“THE CHURCH AND LABOR.”
Archbishop Ireland at the Labor Con
gress Meeting- Last Night.
Chicago, Sept. 3.—Columbus Hall in tho
memorial palace was crowded to-night at
the final meeting of the labor congress.
“Tlie Church and the, Labor Movement’’
was the subject under discussion. Arch
bishop O. P. Ireland of St. Paul, who
made the chief address, was the first
speaker. He was followed by the Kev.
J. P. Covle of Massachusetts. Dr. Emil
G. Hirsch of Chicago and the Kev. W. D.
P. Liss of Boston. Archbishop Ireland
in part S3id:
THE ARCHBISHOP S ADDRESS.
My theme—the Catholics and the labor
question—is not out of place in this congress,
which, by virtue of its rules and the exigen
cies of its membership, excludes formal al
liances with distinctive political or religious
organizations.. You are concerned in all the
interests of labor and in all the influences
which bear upon those interests. It is. then,
a matter of great moment for you to know
the posi; ion which a potent and world-wide
church takes upon the labor question.
In this view for the nonce the Cathollo
church is simply as an existing fact, with
which men. thinking and working for
humanity, must count.because of her impress
upon the actual ideas of the world. This im
press is necessary, deep and far reaching,
for her children number 250,000.000. Her com
mands find attentive ears over all continents:
hur chieftain rises in moral power and public
majesty above all other rulers of men.
THE RELIGIOUS INSTINCT.
Religion remains the strongest instinct and
the most vitalizing force of humanity. Ad
verse criticisms and threats of destruction
hover around. They remind me of the storms
which alarm and confuse the surface waters
of the ocean, leaving its depths unmoved.
Religion will last in spite of
all opposition. It works ns no other
energy can work. The church is re
ligion organized—religion put into work
ing forma and bqnt upon giving to
its own principles concrete life among men.
The cause of labor the Catholic church has
solemnly espoused. Her supreme pontiff.
Leo XiiL, has spoken in the encyclical “on
the condition of labor.' We have the clear
statement of her convictions of ages, and of
her intelligence of the present evolutions of
society and of the duties of Christians of the
present times.
THINKER, STATESMAN, PONTIFF.
Leo XIII.'s name-shall ever be memorable
in the annals of labor. A thinker, a states
man as well as a pontiff, he has treated one
after another the questions which vex men's
minds, and no qoestion has he treated with so
much elevation of mind und so much warmth
of affection as that of labor. His high intelli
gence, bis commanding position as prince of
the church, lie has put in the service of labor;
better yet. he has given to labor his heart.
BRYAN COUNTY.
No Decrease in Her Returns of Taxa

What Capt. Hopkins Did.
Editor Morning News: In justice to
Capt. George Hopkins of the tug Bristol,
and Pilots John O’Brien and William
Von Harten, and Capt. John Mack and
the crew of the tug, I wish to contradict
the statement of Mr. Connell.
The true statement is: Capt. Hopkins,
who, by the way, is as competent a sailor
as ever stood at a wheel, hearing the City
of Savannah was in distress, went to sea
with Volunteers Capt. John Mack and
Pilots O’Brien ami Von Harten, and
found the steamship in the south breakers
of St. Helena entrance. He ran Ins boat
into fourteen feet of water, between a
quarter and half mile from tho ship,
which, as the tug draws ten feet, was as
near as he dared go.
Then Captains O'Brien and Von Harten
launched the life boat and attempted to
roach the ship, but after battling with
tho sea about an hour, returned to the
tug. Captain Savage told Captain O’Brien
he saw this from the ship, but as he did
not see the return he concluded the tug
had lost two men. The tug laid off ami
on to tho east and south of the steamship,
sounding and hoping to find some channel
through which to reach the vessel, but
finally after consultation with his crew,
they concluded to go inside, and if possi
ble procure life boats and return in the
morning.
Meantime they saw tho City of Birm
ingham. and as she anchored and would
probably lio by all night, the tug lefL
This surmise proved correct. Next dtqP
the tug went to sea, and, mooting the tug'
Cecelia, heard the Birmingham was still
there, and went to sen if he could render
any assistance, but arrived just, as the
steamer left. IJe went close enough to
exchange salutes with the Birmingham.
It was to such men as Capt. Hopkins
and the others that the survivors of the
Savannah owe their lives.
