The Island of Cuba Was Swept

Washington, Sept. 84.—The tropical
hurricane that is suppotwd by the
weather bureau experts to have devas¬
tated the island of Cuba is now attack¬
ing the southern coast of Florida and
lashing the waters ot the gulf, uncer¬
tain whether to pursue its northwest¬
ern course or carom otff the land up the
Atlantic in the track of coastwise trad¬
ing vessels.
The bureau has given timely warn¬
ing, and any mariner who during the
next two or three days, heads his vessel
towards the south; will do so at the risk
of both ship and ear tjtose go. This storm is
a perfect type of bred in the
tropics during the September and early
October season. Ita velocity is unus¬
ual, but this is expected to diminish be¬
fore the wind reaches the northern lati¬
tudes. .
Sunday night the riorm was 200 miles
southeast of Key Wait, from wind having a
velocity of 86 miles the northeast
at Key West. It moped 300 miles west
during the night at the forward rate of 16 miles
an houy; its average movement
previously being three 14 miles days an hour. It
will be two or before any ef¬
fect of the atmosj disturbance will
be felt along ti hern coast of
the Atlantic, and ,ther predictors
will be unable to a; mate accurate
forecast of its diree u until after they
have heard from some of the gulf oh
servers.
During the morning approximately the storm had
reached a point 75 miles
southeast of Havana, with the unusual
wind velocity of 72 miles an hour from
the north.
The storm signal has been put up as
far north as Jacksonville and west to
Port Eads. Information signals were
flying during the morning sad up to Savan¬
nah and Charleston west to Galves¬
ton; and at noon these were changed to
storm flags. the
It is believed that the velocity of
wind will decrease as the storm moves
on, but at present its rate is decidedly
destructive.
STORM IN CUBA.

Havana, Sept 84.—A terrible storm
prevails throughout the length and
breadth of the island of Cuba. It began
Sunday evening, and continued with
undiminished fury through the night,
and there are now some signs of its
abatement.
Great damage has been done to prop¬
erty, many houses having been blown
down, treei uprooted ana fences and
outbuildings carried away. So far,
however, no loss of life has this been h&bor report¬ has
ed. The shipping in
escaped injury.

ATLANTA TRAGEDY.
Ben Allen Surrendered In 8lrml*(ktn,
The Coroner’s InvoBtlgatio*.
Atlanta, Sept. 24.—Will Meyers did
not reach the city until 6 o'clock Sun¬
day morning, owing to a misconneotion
of trains in Indiana.
Little developed during the day that
would add, materially, to the story al¬
ready told, except that Meyers was car¬
ried to the scene of the tragedy and al¬
lowed to view the surroundings; and,
while there, close comparison was made
of the footprints, yet distinct about the
plaoe. and the the shoes detective he wore. They fit
exactly, holds and the theory that department Meyers
now to
was alone in the commission of the
crime.
While detectives and their prisoner
were exciting on the episode ground, and there hasty was quite au of
a retreat
the men and their charge, by the ap¬
pearance of a body of of the men hill, approaching and in the
over the brow
crowd were a brother and an unde of
the murdered man.
The detectives, believing f& that they
were hurried bent Meyers on lynching into carriage _ te prisoner, aud
a oa re-
turned to the city. There is no evi-
denoe, however, that the men meant
any harm to the prisoner.
Hen Allan'* Story.
A special from Birmingham, Als.,
tells of the return of Ben Allen from
Mobile Sunday morning, and his sur¬
render to the officials, expressing a de¬
sire to go to Atlanta, if wanted.
Allen denies having been in Atlanta
within the past four weeks, and says
he does not know Meyers.
Here is his story, given out soon after
his return to the city:
“If I ever met Meyers I do not re¬
member lanta it, and I have not been in At¬
have daring the past four weeks. I
been in Birmingham all that time
with the exception of going to Chatta¬
left nooga Tuesday on an excursion, which
nere at 7:80 o’clock a m., and re¬
turned Wednesday at 8:80 p. m. This
I can prove by a number of people who
were on the train. I registered at the
St. James in Chattanooga on Tuesday.
I stayed in Chattanooga Tuesday and
came back here on Wednesday morn¬
ing, bile. and then I went I down to Mo¬
As soon as read the reports
in the newspapers that I was wanted in
Atlanta, I telegraphed here to know if
such was the case. When I found it to
be so, I went to the depot to catch a
train, but it had just pulled out. The
ticket agent told me I could get a train
in a few hours by Selma, but that I
would save time by waiting for the next
Louisville and Nashville train. I caught
the first train and came here. I talked
to a hotel man hi Mobile, explained the
clrcmnstanoes and told him that 1 was
liable to be arrested at any minute, I
am willing to go to When Atlanta without
requisition papers. Atlanta' offi¬
cers call for me, I am ready to go."
M my Not Identify Him.
In all probability, when Ben Allen
fy arrived him here, the Meyers will fail to identi¬
as man he charges with the
crime; as Meyers now says it was Brown
Allen, and not Ben Allen, who was his
accomplice. Tne of heard
of jury inquest a number
witnesses at its morning session, but
little new was discovered from the tes¬
timony given.
Charlie Ligon, the barber who blacked
Meyers’ shoes, testified that Meyer*
came into the shop about 10:80 a m.
had Tuesday to get his shoes blacked. Ho
some mud cm his pants near the
bottom and said he had been kicked by
a mule. He had so much red mud, still
wet on his shoes, that it was very hard
to shine them. He seemed to be in a
great burry to get out.
In his testimony before the coroner’s
jury, how Chief and of Detectives Wright told of
he an officer during the after¬
noon returned to the soeue from whioh
they had been scared away Sunday
morning by Crowley’s friends’ ap¬
proach. They took Meyers’ shoes out
to the place and tried them in the
tracks leading from the buggy to where
Crowley’s body Dtetincf was found and back to
the buggy. tracks of two men
led from the buggy to where the body
was found and only one returned. Mey¬
ers’ shoes fit perfectly in the tracks that
came back to the boggy.
The theory of Jones’ connection with
the tragedy, now advanced, is that, while
he crime, did not and actif had ely no participate dire# Connection In the
with it, he was in the Confidence of
Meyers therefore, all the way through, and was,
accessory before the fact, to
the killing.

with a "Triumphant Tour" Through th*
Slot* of Indiana,
Indianapolis, Sept, 84. — Benjamin
Harrison will be a candidate for the
Republican nomination in 1896.
Notwithstanding the fact that it has
been claimed, both by the friends of the
ex-president and Mr. Harrison himself,
that he will make bat two speeches
during the present campaign, and these
will be delivered in this city, it may be
stated, upon the best of authority, that
Benjamin Harrison will make nearly,
if not quite 50, speeches before the No¬
vember election. What te more, he
will make them in Indiana. McKinley
will oome and go, aud then Harrison’s
campaign for president will begin.
Burly in October, according to the
plan, a splendid special board train will will be leave
President Indianapolis. Harrison On and all the noted ex-
Republican leaden of the state. The
train will go in a roundabout way to
Evansville. It wtll stop at every sta¬
tion of importance, aud the route all .will
be selected so as to pass through the
important towns of southwestern In¬
diana. At each town Republicans will
gather as the train cornea in. Harrison
will be called upon to make a speech.
He will respond every time. It will be
a great triumphant tour. There will be
ablaze of enthusiasm all along the
route. It will take two days for him to
reach Evansville, where he is hilled to
make a set speech.
His home-manager* refer to hte mag¬
nificent short speeches made in one of
hte Harrison presidential Is the equal toot**. at They Blaine claim in mak¬ that
ing short speeches from the roar nothing plat¬
form of a Pullman car, and
will be left undone to make hte andi-
ences large and enthusiastic. It will be
in fact a repetition of Blaine's groat
trip through the from west in Evansville, 1884. Gen¬
On the return
eral Harrison will rest up a bit aud then
take another swing round the circle
in northern Indiana. Hte seoond set
speeoh will be delivered at Fort Wayne,
bat he will make a score of speeches in
getting there, of presenting finch are Benjamin the prelimina¬ Har¬
ry plans the Indiana’s candi¬
rison to oonntry as
date for President. Indiana does not
vote again until 1896. If Harrison aids
hte party to sneoess in the state this
year Morton and McKinley may as well
hang up their aspiration* forever.
Western Republicans have little hope
that Morton will carry New York. In
fact they do not expoot to cany Indi¬
ana, and if they do, no other man will
be talked about for president but Ben
Harrison.
The proposed triumphal tour has been
a campaign secret until the present mo¬
ment. The plan* are being perfected,
and the route will be decided upon in a
consultation to be held with Harrison
in a day or two after McKinley makes
hte appearance in General Harrison’s
home. McKinley cannot boom himself
for pres* president in HU Indiana. Hoosier Re¬
publican* bacons ., ha have already decided to stand
by Harrison.
