Place—The Blow the Most Destructive
in Twenty-five Years—Three and a
Half Miles of the F. C. and P. Tracks
Washed Away Near Cedar Key Over
100 Washouts in Another Stretch of
Pour and a Half Miles.
Jacksonville. Fla., Oct. 11.—Communi
cation has been received from all points
on the west coast visited by the storm
which raged Monday night and Tuesday
morning, and the dispatches tell woeful
talcs of the distraction caused by the
w ind and water. Apalachicola and Cedar
Key were directly in the storm’s path,
the damage at these places is almost in
calculable. Communication with these
points has been cut off until to-day. The
storm first struck Cedar Key and the fol
lowing dispatch describes its work: ‘'Ce
dar Key, Fla., Oct. 11.—Cedar Key has
just experienced the most disastrous
storm which has visited here for twenty
live years. The main businss street is
piled with debris, consisting of wreckage
fnom boats, wharves, tish houses and logs
of every description..
“The storm began at 8 o'clock Monday
morning, with a heavy wind,from the east
gradually shifting to the south, and then
to southwest, increasing in violence, and
continuing until daylight Tuesday morn
ing.
“The damage and loss of property is
very great. The Florida Central and Pe
ninsular railroad is a heavy sufferer. Al
most the entire track to the mainland,
a distance of three and one-half miles,
is easily destroyed or badly damaged.
From the mainland to Sumner, a distance
of four and one-half miles, there are
nearly one hundred washouts. The mail
train got In Monday night, but is caught
between two washouts and cannot move
either way.
“The Town Improvement Company is a
heavy loser, as a number of business
and dw'elling houses were swept away.
The fish and oyster houses, adjoining the
railroad, and ocupied by Dopson, Clarke
and Daniel and \V. H. Anderson are de
molished, and all their contents are a
total loss, amounting to several thousand
dollars.
“The F. Faber Cedar Company loses the
steamer Media, valued at $3,500, and had
swept away 30,000 logs of cedar, which
they will be weeks in collecting. The ce
dar mill just started up by W. H. Ander
son was badly damaged, and about 15,000
logs of cedar were scattered for miles.
“The city hall, a two-story concrete
building, with offices below, has the tin
roof blown off and one entire side knocked
out by logs, etc.
“The city jail cannot be found.
"The five bridges to the shell rood lead
ing to the mainland are washed away.
“A great many small boats were
wrecked and fish camps were washed
away. One sloop came in Tuesday morn
ing with five men, who had clung to a
single palmetto tree since Monday night.
Another came In this afternoon with
three men who were wrecked Monday
night, and had been on a shell bank ever
since without food or water. It Is reported
that five sponge vessels went ashore dur
ing the storm, and were driven seven miles
into the woods.”
APALACHICOLA IN THE BLOW.
Great Damage Done by the High Wind
and Water.
Apalachicola, Fla.. Oct. 11.—Never be
fore In the history of this quiet and beau
tiful town was such havoc and destruc
tion played by storm and tide as Monday
night between the hours of 7 and 10
o'clock. Water, Commerce and Market
streets are a mass of logs, boats, lumber
and dead ilsh. So far two lives are re
ported lost. Two nice residences were
carried half to three-quarters of a mile
and placed in the marsh near the cypress
mill uninjured, one of which had just
been completed for a newly married
couple. All the docks were totally de
stroyed, houses were unroofed and fences
scattered everywhere. Murat's whole
sale fish house was laid flat and thous
ands of dead fish line our streets. Fam
ilies sought safety on the hills, only to be
routed by ttie terrific gale. Water was
six feet deep on Water street and some
of the best dry goods and grocery stores
• were battered into by floating timber and
shattered to destruction; soft mud and
brush line the floors and shelves. Five
barges loaded with lumber were blown
from East Pass and lodged In the marsh
two miles north of this place. The Kim
ball Lumber Company are the principal
losers, their loss being about SIO,OOO. Mu
rat's loss is about $4,000. At present it
Is impossible to get at an estimate of the
loss of goods or buildings. Fish houses,
oyster factories and shanties were liter
ally demolished.
The storm, with a little rain, had been
raging for thirty-six hours until its final
climax, which wrought the awful de
struction, between 7 and 10 o'clock Mon
day.
Tuesday morning the town was a scene
of devastation and ruin, and the streets
were crowded with men. women and chil
dren viewing the havoc of the fearful tor
nado.
Great suffering will be the consequence,
and an appeal for aid will probably bo
Bent out. Wires are all down.

CORBETT TO FIGHT FITZ.
The Mill Slated to Occnr at Jackson
ville Alter July 1.
The Sluggers Meet in New York and
Conn to an Agreement-Corbett Un
willing to Fight Earlier on Account of
His Theatrical Engagements The
Articles to Be the Same as Those in
the Corbett-Suilivan Fight.
New York. Oct. 11.—Corbett and Fitz
simmons met In the Herald office this
morning for the purpose of arranging a
match. Capt. Glori. who appeared for Fitz
simmons, when asked by Corbett tc- show*
Urn color of his money, displayed SI,OOO to
bind the match. Corbett then showed
SI,OOO, and told Glori to cover it, when he
pleased, but there would be no fight until
after July 1. as he would not cancel hi*
profitable theatrical engagements. This
was a disappointment but Fitzsimmons
an-i Glori agreed to it, and the work of
drawing up the articles was begun. To a
question if he was willing to fight after
July 1, Fitzsimmons replied: “I will fight
him any time.” It was finally agreed to
battle some time after July 1, next, at the
Florida Athletk* Club at Jacksonville, the
club to fix the date of the fight.
Having yielded on the question of date,
the club was the next problem. The first
offer was $2-5.000. by Schall of the Olympic
Club of New Orleans, wihch was in
creased to $30,000 by Williams of the Audi
torium Club of the same city. This war.
raised to $41,000 by “Circular Joe” Vendig
for the Florida Athletic Club of Jackson
ville. Williams said $35,000 was his limit.
Schall mentioned $50,000, which called
forth smiles. Corbett said the bid wav
wild and the money must be shown. Schall
produced $5,000, which Corbett said was
not enough to post for $50,000.
Fitzsimmons evidently wanted to fight
before the Olympic, while Corbett pre
ferred Florida. Fitzsimmons finally said:
"Weil, I will yield every point in order
to make a match. I will sign with the
Florida Athletic Club.”
Corbett sneered at Fitzsimmons’ al
leged complaisance. “I am the champion,”
he said, "and I will say when and where
1 will fight. I have been roasted right and
left on a charge of being afraid of you.
Now', I am here to make a match. I have
my money to put up. and I will not leave
the room till the agreement is signed.”
The sporting editor of the Herald said
the articles could not be signed in the
building, and the men agreed to meet to
night at 6 o’clock to complete the terms
of the match.
Capt. Glori produced no money what
ever in addition to the SI,OOO he has alrea
dy on deposit with the sporting editor of
the Herald, although he agreed to put up
$2,000 to-morrow morning, but afterward
got Corbett’s consent to wait until Mon
day, when he would be showing in Brook
lyn, before putting it up. Still later on
his burden was made lighter by William
A. Brady arranging the deposit as fol
lows: Monday. Oct. 15, $1,500, making the
first deposit of $2,500; Dec. 1, $2,500; Feb. 1,
$2,500, and May 1 the final $2,500. It met
with the approbation of the captain
and Fitzsimmons, and whs ordered to be
embodied in the articles of agreement.
Capt. Glori suggested that the fight be
held at an earlier date, but Corbett was
very firm in his refusal not to fight until
after July 1, but said he would be ready
to battle at any day after that time that
the club saw fit to select.
Tho next question of Importance that
arose was the selection of a stake holder,
as the sporting editor of the Herald an
nounced that the New York Herald would
not hold the money. Dave Blanchard and
Phil Dwyer were both mentioned and
Capt. Glori selected Mr. Dwyer, as he did
have any acquaintance with Blanchard.
The SI,OOO deposited by Corbett was
then handed to 1 Smith to be turned over
to Dwyer.
The articles will be precisely the same
as those signed by Corbett and Sullivan,
with the exception of the dates upon
which the deposits are to be made. The
articles were not signed by either Corbett
or Fitzsimmons, but they were each fur
nished with a copy, as was the Florida
Athletic Club. The articles will he signed
outside of tills state, and will be mallei
to the sporting editor of the Herald.
It is a misdemeanor to sign articles of
agreement for prize fight in this state.
WAYCROSS NEWS WAIFS.
The Most Prosperous Farmers no
Longer Dependent on Cotton.
Waycross, Ga., Oct. 11.—There are num
bers of prosperous farmers In Ware
county to-day, and as a rule, the most
prosperous have long since abandoned the
growing of cotton. They raise nearly all
the necessaries of life, and have made lots
of corn, cane and poatoes for sale. These
products are in demand and the prices are
very good.
Money Is more plentiful In the agricul
tural districts this fall than has been
known for several years. The low price
of cotton does not affect the farmers
who plant diversified crops largely for
the markets and also for home consump
tion.
Waycross has never been considered a
good place to sell cotton, but this year
the cotton market has been liberally
patronized. Several of the merchants
have been buying cotton this fall and
they pay good prices for It.
The high school building has been
moved hack of the old site about one
hundred yards, to make room for the new
building.
The convicts at Waltertown have gone
peacefully to work, and no further trouble
is apprehended by those who have them
employed.
J. A. Jones, an enterprising business
man hero, is of the opinion that business
Is better than It was last fall. Others are
of the same opinion.
FARMERS IN A CORNER.
The Prevailing Low Prices Ruinous to
Cotton Planters.
Thomasvllle, Ga.. Oet. 11.-Four and five
cent cotton has greatly demoralized the
farming interests of this section. Opera
tions in that line will be considerably cut
down another year. The farmer will be
forced into other crops, or off his farm
He has produced cotton to his sheer ex
haustion. He just simply can t continue
It. It Is another rase where It was neces
sary to cut the dog s tail off just behind
the ears, to cure him of sucking eggs.
Many mules and horses will be for sale
and many acres will grow up in broom
sage and briars, or the cotton farmer will
have to turn his time and talents to stock
and food crops. It Is a severe schooling
but permanent good may yet come of It
If the people are taught to diversify their
products and lo rely more on live stock
and less on commercial fertilizers and cod
ton. A severe lessen In economy is also
being learned In the hard school of neces
sity.

HEAVY DAMAGE TO ORANGES.
The Storm Plays Havoc With the Crop
Around Candler.
Candler, Fla., Oct. 11.—The gulf storm,
predicted Monday, struck here in full
force Tuesday and raged for twenty-four
hours. The greatest damage is to fruit.
Oranges are torn from the trees badly
and the ground is covered with fallen
oranges. This storm following right after
the other has injured the orange crop
here to a considerable extent.
Lemon groves suffered badly, being
heavily laden with fruit. The trees are
broken up badly. Lemon trees are not
near so strong as orange, and are easily
broken by the wind.
The public school has opened with 25
pupils.
Rev. W. W. Jones, who has been absent
all summer visiting friends in Ohio and
Indiana, has returned home.
