ECHOES OF Till: STORM.
A Graphic Account o( the Situation
at St. Helena.
The Number of the Dead on One Plan
tation The Suffering of the Survi
vors Where the Wrecked Steamer
City of Savannah Lies Sne is Likely
to Prove a Total Wreck-People Not
Looking Out For the Wreckage.
St. Helena Island. S. C.. Sept 3.—1 ven
ture to send a brief description of the
wrecked steamer City of Savannah, and
the sea islands near here.
The first news of the disaster was
brought to Beaufort by three of the
steamer's erew. The almost total de
struction of all boats made it impossible
to respond immediately to their request
for assistance The only available tug.
the Bristol, started, with a number of
pilots and others, for the stranded
steamer, the parting .remark of a pilot
to his brother being: "Follow me at
once, if you can, to the beach." Almost
immediately, the writer with others, be
gan to prepare to follow.
A steam launch belonging to a member
ef the party was high and dry on one of
the wharves. Jack screws being neces
sary. a trip of five miles to Port Royal
was made for them. After working
almost wjthout cessation until a late hour
Tuesday night, the launch was put into
the water only to find that necessary re
pairs to her would require several days'
delay. The writer was the only member
of the party to continue his efforts to get
to the steamer. A team was secured and
a ride to the first bridge washout con
sumed much time. Detours into fields
around obstructions in the roads were
necessary. Ditches and debris of all
kinds were met.
LOOKING FOR TIIF.IR DEAP.
Everywnere were marks of the storm.
The whole community were looking for
their dead. The first serious loss was on
the Eustis place where the lands are low
and the tide and water being much above
their usual level, flowed over them with
great swiftness and progress over them
was made still more dangerous by the
flying limbs of trees and the heavy waves,
•with water from four to ten feet in depth.
Here were met the few remaining people
seeking for t heir dead and others burying
those found : nor was either of these things
easy, the sense of smell aiding most in
the former, while in theduttcr the quanti
ty of water in the soil made, the digging
ojfa grave difficult. Asa result a largo
rrernber are barely covered with a few
inches of earth. The boards of wrecked
houses were used for coffins.
FIFTY-rnKEE r**,U) ON ONE PLANTATION.
On the Eustis place fifty-three people
were drowned (a single plantation). At
Wassaw eighteen, at Pripps thirty-eight,
and this only on the line of my trip. In
dividuals replying to my questions as to
their losses would do so as follows: “I
have lost seven head of children and my
wife;” again, the wife would be the sur
vivor and all others drowned. Again, the
Etory of oue woman. She had managed
to hold on to a baby, and after floating
more than a mile, clinging to a patch of
roof, ran into a tree and forsak
ing the 'raft for the tree lost
her baby, the last of her family.
In the immediate vincinty of Frogmore
post ofßce one hundred and twenty-six
actual deaths were reported, and many
still missing. This is reliable informa
tion.
REMARKABLE EXPERIENCES.
Individual instances of tragic experi
ences are numerous in the heart of this
island, of St. Helena. A man with his
wife and six children sought safety in a
tree. Taking his children through the
deep water, one at a time, he placed them
in the tree. They were barely old
enough to cling these alone. He made four
trips. Qn his fifth. the house and
remainder of his family were swept away
he barely escuping from the wreck in
time to save his own life, and go back to
the protection of those in the tree.
After reaching the last chain of inhab
ited islands a boat was procured after a
day's delay. This boat Was hauled from
the fields a mile from the water. During
this time the rains were frequent and
heavy—a perfect deluge. In sight of my
shelter were many seeking protection
under patches of roofs, while the houses
remaining were packed with scores of
people.
As to provisions, there are none. Half
growa sweet iHitatoos are all that many
can depend upon. The shallow wells of
the country, poor at first, have been
either filled up or filled with salt water.
♦ TUE CITY OF SAVANNAH.
From the beach the wrecked City of
Savannah could be seen plainly. She is
about three miles from shore, directly in
front of the mouth of Pripps inlet, sur
rounded on all sides by dangerous and un
known shoals. The shoals are all changed
by the recent storm.
The port side of the steamer is to the
beach, and the bow is pointing to the St.
Helena entrance. She appears high out
of the water, and from the shore side
seems little damaged, but u|ion near ap
proach she show ed a very heavy cant to
starboard, with her stern much higher
than her bow. All her starboard side
above the lower deck is gone.
‘ HOW THE SAVANNAH APPEARS.
Her starboard anchor is out and her
port anchor on deck. Her masts aro all
right. Some of her sails are entirely
gone. Exposed as she must have been to
the high water and heavy seas, it is re
markable that any of her passengers and
crew escaped. More than half the cargo
has been discharged through the broken
sides and open parts at water line, and as
the tides rise and the heavy seas beat in
it is a bold man who will venture near
and remain.
To reach the steamer, as I did alone in
a half seaworthy boat, such as was
picked up, as above described, and having
left my assistant ashore, aud going by
what had been the old channel, was most
hazardous. Way was made through a
chain of breakers in safety, and upon near
approach, found a party aboard with one
of the wrecked steamer's life boats.
They were after clothing for the unfortu
nates, who had escaped front the vessel.
WHERE THE VESSEL LIES.
Ac the water about the vessel is only about
seven feet in depth, and subject to a
strong tide and heavy sea. with most dif
ficult and dangerous approaches, little can
be done to wreck the vessel except by
small boats in a very crude way.
From the vessel's deck a schooner can
be; seen in the sands off Trunchard's inlet.
Were it not that all the population are
busy with sorrows, all their own. and the
almost total destruction of all small boats,
there would no doubt be a grand rush to
the beach to get that which has been
"cast up by the sea " As it is, only a few
boats have been brought into this service.
Possibly, before the community can make
the effort to collect anything from the
steamer all will have disappeared except
the hulk aud machinery.
A. E. Highway.
Reduction of Force.
Houston. Tex., Sept. 5.—A reduction in
force has just gone into effect along the
Southern Pacific iailroad froml-ll Paso to
New Orleans. The reason is that there
is very little being done and a smaller
force is competent to handle it. The re
duction affects a large number of men.
It. however, is applicable for the most
part to telegraph operators and men doing
clerical work in the general office. It is
that not more than 2Uomen altogether
have been affected by this order.
REPEATED BTROLAHIHS
Result of Industrial Suspension in
the Turpentine Country.
Douglass, tie.. Sept. 5 -For a month
or two there has been a systematic
method of burglarizing the store of M.
King. The thief would make an entrance
by means of a ladder through one of the
second story windows and was prudent
enough at first to only take a few light
article*. But Mr. J. H. Webster, a (>opu
lar jeweler, who occupies one window of
Mr. King's store, left in the showcase
several watches and other jewelry, and
on the last raid the thief carried off a
watch and a number of fingerr mgs. He
began peridiing out his stock and came
to grief On Saturday morning about 'J
o'clock Sheriff Smith arrested Joe Lewis,
colored, and recovered the watch and
several rings.
EFFECT OF SHI'TTINO DOWN.
The shutting down of the various saw
mills and partial suspension of turpentine
operators, throwing out of employment a
large number of naturally vicious negroes,
with absolutely no means of support. Is
going to bring about at a much earlier
date than a majority of the citizens think,
serious trouble to the citizens of South
Georgia and Florida. Already, as pre
dicted by the Morning News correspond
ent, bands of these idle hungry negroes
are roaming over Coffee county begging
and stealing. Reliable news reached
here last night tha* one of these fiends
had two white girls tied out in n bay not
far from Morgan & Co's, still about eight
miles from here on the east side of Seven
teen Mile creek, and on Saturday he
made theip go with him to Mrs. Du
rand's, and made one of them go in the
house and beg for something to eat, un
der a threat of death if she did not re
turn. While in the house the giri told
Mrs. Durand that she prayed for some
man to be there and kill that negro, so
that she and her companion could get
away. Blood hounds have been sent for
and later news is anxiously awaited. The
whole county will rise up as one man to
capture and punish this and like crimi
nals.
AN ACCIDENT AT WAYCROSS.
The Saw Mil’s Getting Ready Again
For Business.
Waycross, Ga., Sept. 5. Oscar Green,
yard conductor in the Savannah, Florida
and Western railroad yard at this place,
fell from the top of a freight car on the
Brunswick aud Western "Y” last night
and was seriously injured. He was
dragged some distance b.v the trueks and
the car,\vheels ran over his feet, crushing
them. His stomach was terribly bruised
by the Nall. He will probably recover.
The saw mills on the railroads leading
out from this place, which closed down
for a few weeks, are now being started
uji again. Orders for lumber have been
coming in all the time slowly, but busi
ness In that line is now improving.
It is rumored that several large con
tracts for buildings will be let during this
month and that fall will cause other
buildings to be erected. There seems to
be a freer circulation of money here since
Sept. 1. -Business is improving and the
prospect for the future is bright.
Now that the yellow fever excitement
and hard times are things of the past, it
has been suggested that a board of trade
be organized at once and every effort
made to advance the business interests of
this place. If the merchants will pull to
gether, a board of trade will be the next
importantlprogrcssive stop taken bv the
city.
The Young Peoples' Christian En
deavor Aid society will give a social at
the residence of Hubert Murphy on Gulf
street Wednesday night. There will he
refreshments. The proceeds will he for
the benefit of the new Methodist church.

CUT BY A NEGRO TRAMP.
A. Holzendorff, a well-known citizen of
Glynn county, was seriously cut yester
day by a negro tramp near his' home,
Pyles Marsh, on the Brunswick
A Western railroad. Mr. Holzendorf
had been notified that a negro bearing a
sack containing valuable merchandise,
supposed to bo stolen, was making his
escape that way. lie tried to intercept
the negro, but his gun snapped. The ne
gro knocked him down and carved him
severely with a razor.
“unknown to the jury.”
A posse of armed citizens scoured the
swamps all night, trying to find the ne
gro, hut without success. They are still
looking, and it is believed, when finally
found, the negro will be dead, from
"hunger” or "other causes ”
CAMP HAINES.

GEORGIA CROPS.
Aggregate Loss in Cotton From Vari
ous Causes 5 to 6 Per Cent.
Atlanta. Ga . Sept. 5 —The crop bulle
tin issued by the weather bureau to-day
gives the following review of the damage
done to crops b.v the storm of last week :
"The effects of the hurricane of last
week, which passed up the coast on the
27th. were felt by the farmers throughout
the entire eastern section of the state, the
greatest amount of damage being done to
eotton and corn, which was blown to the
ground, and from a quarter to a third of
both crops will be destroyed by rot.
What cotton was open was blown out, and
in mau.v places the seed is sprouting in
the bolls.
POTATOES THE EXCEPTION.
Peas and sugar cane were also injured
on many plantations Potatoes are in
good condition. YouDg corn was in
promising conditio# up to the time of the
storm, but now much is destroyed. The
counties on the coast suffered the most.
In these counties, Bryan and Chatham
particularly, the hurricane fur.y of the
winds almost completely ruined crops,
besides blowing down fruit trees, etc.
Gotton and tide water rice in many
places are almost a toial loss. The re
ports on corn have been rather
conflicting for the past few
weeks, and as the major part of the
crop has now matured special reports
were tills week requested as to the proba
ble yield of the crop, as compared with
that of last year. From these it appears
that the early and late crops have suf
fered about equally from adverse weather
conditions, the drought of July damaging
the early crop, while the dry spell in Au
gust injured the late.
EASTERN COUNTIES THE GREATER LOSERS.
Tiia lowest, yield will bo in the eastern
counties, which was swept by the recent
hurricane. Here the damage was largely
on late corn, from which the fodder had
not been cut. In this section
the crop wiil be 15 per cent,
below that of last year. Taking the en
tire state into consideration the corn
crop will fall short .of last year by 5 to
*> per cent. From the central counties
arc received many complaints of the poor
condition of cotton caused by high winds,
drought and rust during July and Au
gust. Picking is being pushed forward
as rapidly as the weather will permit.
Some of the staple on the ground is not <
worth picking up, while a portion on the
stalk has turned blue.
LLOYD G. BOWERS DEAD.
Well Known as a Cotton Buyer
Throughout the Country.
Columbus, Ga., Sept. 5. —This after
noon while returning home at Wynton, a
suburb, in a buggy, accompanied by his
oldest son, Mr. Lloyd G. Bowers was sud
denly stricken with appoplexy and died
in a few minutes. Mr. Bowers was one
of the oldest cotton buyers in this section
and was known in commercial circles
throughout the south.
WAS A MAN OF FORTUNE.
He had made several fortunes, but,
being a bold operator, had frequent re
verses, but was in comparatively affluent
circumstances at the time of his death.
He was a native of Somerset, Mass., but
a resident of the south previous to the
war. He was Oil years old aud was highly
connected. He leaves a family of grown
children.
PEARY’S PARTY.
Dog's and Native Esquimaux Secured
and All Well and Happy.
St. John’s, N. F., Sept. s.—The steamer
Falcon returned h re this afternoon from
Bedouin bay, West Greenland, having
successfully accomplished the landing of
the Peary expedition at that place.
The Falcon left here July 15 hound for
Labrador to purchase dogs necessary for
the success of the expedition. She ar
rived at Battle Harbor on the 17th, cruised
along the Labrador coast, meeting with
little success-, in tho purchase of dogs.
After getting only twenty, the vessel
left Labrador on the 22d, arriving at the
Greenland coast on the 27th. Four donkeys
belonging to the expedition perished of
exposure. The Falcon sailed along the
coast of Greenland, getting the balance of
the dogs needed, a greater number being
necessary because of the loss of the
donkeys. Altogether, the party got
eighty-seven dogs.
At Gape York Peary got five native
Esquimaux to assist in caring for the
dogs and doing general work.
TUE PARTY SAFE AND COMFORTABLE.
The Falcon arrived at her destination
on Aug. 3. She started on her return
trip Aug. 20. leaving Peary’s party com
fortably inclosed in the house they took
with them. It was found that the house
used by the last expedition had been torn
down and used for various purposes by
the natives. A whole colony of natives
living on lngleiield Gulf moved near
Peary, to remain with him during his
stay. The Falcon made a good passage
and arrived here without injury. The
northward trip was unaccompanied by
any special incident.
All were well and in goods spirits when
the Falcon loft the harbor. Exhaustive
inquiries concerning Gloeff, who was sup
posed to have been killed last year by
falling into a crevasse, wore made by the
party, but nothing was learned of him.
BUSINESS HUMMING.

Over the Country.
Washington, Sept. s.—lnnumerable dis
patches to-night indicate that a general
resumption of business in the manufac
turing plants in the north and west has

NOW FOR A RACKET.
Gov. Tillman Says Rice Beer is Only
Lager in Disguise.
I Columbia. S. C„ Sept. s.—The long ex
pected bomb has fallen upon the rice
beer dealers at last, and the constables
i acting under Gov Tillman's orders will
I soon be taking posvsion of every place
I where this beverage is sold or offered for
sale. This is going to reopen all the
liquor trouble in dead earnest, and there
is fun ahead. For quite a long time, in
fact ever since the law went into effect,
njany of the liquor dealers of the state
have been selling rice beer right along,
aud reaping a good harvest.
UNDER THE MICROSCOPE. SO TO SPEAK.
Gov. Tillman said that he would try to
get the best analysis as soon as he could
secure samples, and all along those liquor
men who have preferred Jo lie on the safe
side have been on the anxious bench and
have not dared to sell the stuff, even
though their next-door neighbors did so.
While this state of anxiety was existing
Gov. Tillman put Ins constables to get
ting sample bottles of beer in various sec
tions of the state, and secured numerous
samples. The samples came from a num
ber of different breweries. In the last
few weeks Gov Tillman has been
saying nothing, and every one sup
fiosed that rice beer was a beverage
that would be continued to be sold in the
soft-drink saloons without molestation
from the state authorities. But during
this seeming quiet Dr. Burney, the state
chemist, had these bottles down in his
laboratory and has been working industri
ously with them. About 1 o’clock Friday
he called upon Governor Tillman and sub
mitted his report of these analyses of the
various brands of' rice beer. This report
I have, of course, been unable to secure.
MASKED LACIER BEER.
When I walked into the governor's
office to-day and asked him What about
rice beer?” he said: Well, it is just like
they said it was: it is lager in disguise.”
I asked the governor for a statement in
naprd to his future actiens in this mat
ter aud he said: "I shall begin at once
to send out instructions to my consta
bles to arrest all parties selling rice beer
in the state and arrest the beer along
with them. I'm going to indict them at
once, and the analyses of beer seized will
furnish sufficient proof. I am tired of
these doings, and ain not going to have
this monkey business any longer. We
simply picked up samples all about the
country, and the various analyses show
that the stuff is as much beer as lager,
is at least, all the analyses approximate
four per cent of alcohol. That is all I
have to say now; you can see the rest for
yourself.”
IT HAS BEEN SOLD OPENLY.
There are only a few dealers in Colum
bia who have refused to sell rice beer till
the governor had rendered liis division as
to the legality of spell sale. There are a
great many dealers, however, who have
been selling the beer openly, and they
will doubtless fall under the governor’s
ban.
PRETTY HEAVY.
Judge Simonton Put it to One of the
Dispensary Spies.
Charleston, S. C.. Sept, s.—On Aug.
1, G. B. Swann, one of Gov. Tillman's
dispensary constables, seized a barrel of
whisky in the custody of the South Car
olina railway, this city. When the seiz
ure was made Swann showed no author
ity from cither coasignee or consignor of
the goods, nor did he produce any war
rant by virtue of which the search and
seizure were made. When questioned as
to his authority, lie produced his commis
sion of constable of the state. Swann
was taken before Judge Simonton in the
United States circuit court on a,, petition
to show cause why lie should not be at
tached for contempt. He admitted at
the hearing that his case was of his own
motion and that he seized goods without
the formality of a warrant. *
WIIAT THAT SORT OF RACKET COMES TO.
In his dw ision, jus: filed, Judge Simon
ton holds that Swann was guilty of an
outrageous violation of the law and de
clares that no search and seizure of prop
erty can tie made without due process of
law. He adjudges Swann guilty of con
tempt of court and orders that he be im
prisoned in Charleston county jail, and
that he return the seized goods to the cus
tody of the receiver of the railroad, and
that when the goods have been so re
turned that he suffer a further imprison
ment in the county jail for three months
and until he pays the cost for these pro
ceedings.
CROPS IN CAROLINA.
Sweet Potatoes and Peas the Only Un
injured Crops in the State.
Columbia, S. C.. Sept. s.—The weather
crop bulletin for the week ending to-day
says that many hundred acres of cotton
were shorn of the work of months by the
storm, Uie immature fruit scattered and
rotting. The islands along the coast, the
pride and glory of that section,are almost
destitute of fruitage. Young corn lies
Hat, aud brokfn fruit trees are stripped
of the fall crops, not a section escaping.
Peas and sweet jxitatoes are the only
crons not damaged. Some sections will
recover partially, but the yield will be
small.
Free Bridge Defeated for the Present.
Little Hack, Ark., Sept. s.—The free
bridge commissioners to-day rejected all
hidrs for the building of a free bridge
across the Arkansas river at this point,
the tiids being considered excessive. The
lowest bid was <545,000. This practically
defeats the free bridge question in this
city for some time to come.
