Washington, Sept. 29.—A special dig,
patch from Cape Charles, Vo., ears:
The storm has abated In this section to
some extent! the wind blow from the
northeast a regular hurricane for three
days and nights unceasingly. The wa
ter has receded, and tho stoamors will
now resume their regular trips between
hero and Norfolk.
The first tidings were recoived here
from Cobb's island abont 0 o’clock p.
in., when tho Rev. Thomas Dixon, who
is summering on tho island with his
family from New York, managed to get
over to tho main land. Ho said: “We
have been lying right in the Atlnntio
ocean for the past three days.
"The storm broke on us lost Tuesday
night late and for three days and three
flights the wind bluo a regular hnrricano
from the northeast. On Wednesday
and Thursday the wind seemed to in-
crease and the entire island was sub
merged by three feet of water, carrying
away fences and outhouses and threat
ening destruction to nil who wore living
on the island.”
Mr. Dixon says that, by nctual meas
urement, 200 feet of Cobb's Island beach
was washed away by the enormous
waves that lashed the shoro, and that
the inhabitants state it to be the most
violent storm they have had for 20
years. All the vegetation and somo
pigs were destroyed. Tho water went

WAsniNOTON, Sept. 29.—The candl
dacy of Senator Hill continues to fur
nish the leading topio in political cir
cles here, as it seems to be agreed that
the result in New York will havo an
important bearing on the presidential
contest two years hence. Since the
New York convention, Hill's name has
been connected with tho presidency by
Democratic lenders who have heretofore
regarded him n3 an impossibility.
No man in Washington is more en
thusiastic over Mr. Hill's nomination
than Senator Fanlkner, who is now do-
voting all his energies to the emigres,
sinuul campaign. Senator Fanlkner is
close to Senator Gorman, and in view
of tho Maryland leader's hatred of Hill,
wliiuli dates from the time tho New
York senator succeeded in defeating tho
Gorman silver compromise, his opin
ions are quite significant.
“There is only one David 13," said
Mr. Faulkner. “Think of tho uuparal-
lelled boldness of the man I Ho has
staked bis whole political future on suc
cess in tliis fight. And,"lieadded, with
emphasis, “I beliovo lie will win. A
friend of mine from Now York, a prom
inent man, and one who docs not like
Hill, told me recently that, next to
Whitney, Hill was tho strongest man
the Democrats conld nominate. Ho is
n marvelous politician. Here ho was
lighting us on the tariff question os
hard as he eonld, denouncing tho income
tax and doing all that he conld to cir
cumvent tlie Democrats, and now ho
goes back to New York and has every
thing his own way.”
Tlie narrowness of the Democratic
margin in tho senate, with tho prospect
of a hard light to retain even the pres-
cut advantage, naturally has nroused
considerable speculation as to the effect
of Mr. Hill’s candidacy on the New
York senatorship. No one imagines
that lie will resign, and it is donbted in
some quarters that ho will qnulify ua
governor, if elected, even if the Demo
crats got a sufficient majority in file as
sembly to iusnre his successor being a
Democrat. If ho wins and tho victory
extends to the legislature, it is tlie gen
eral beliof that Bonrke Cockniu will
succeed him in the event of his retire
meat from the scuato.
It is tho opinion on all sides that de
feat would mean the termination of
Hill’s political career, and that even his
usefulness in tho senate would bs gone.
Strange ns it may appear at this time,
there is a strong beliof that Mr. Hill
will not retire from the sonato if ho is
elected. The triumph in New York
wonld give him now prestige as a Dem
ocratic leader, bnt tho senator has much
to acoomplish, which coaid only be ac
complished in the senate, to make him
on acceptable presidential candidate to
tho Democrats of tho soath and wost
Before the repeal of the Sherman bill
became a prominent issuo Senator Hill
had Btrong silver leanings. Senator
Stewart talked openly abont Mr. Hill’s
views in favor of silvor, and he was
sorely disappointed when the New York
senator jumped into the leadership of
the repeal fight at the most critical hour
and, by foreing unconditional repoal,
blasted the hope of the silver men that
they would secure some Oonoossion, car
rying with it the purchase of silver on
the part of the government. Mr. H\ll
has yet to make terms with the sooth on
the silver question. His stand in favor
of Me Eaw materials m$de him many
reiends in that section, but the silver is
sue is hot overshadowed by the tariff.
For these reasons it is thought possible
that Mr. H1U, if elected, will Moon tent
with the prestige M the trinknph and
will return to the senate for the purpose
of btfHding fences fot 1896.
In certain Democratic circles here, it
is feared that the sugar trust will use
it’s inflnenoe to cause Hill’s defeat. He
almost secured the psssage of the free
sugar amendment when tho bill was
being taken np by paragraphs, and it
was he who proposed and carried the
amendment which cut off from the
trcAthe privilege of importing sugar
free up until Jam 1, next. President
Haremeyer, ot tho trust, admitted be
fore the sugar investigating committee
that it was the policy of his company to
contribute to stats oampaignt, and it
will be interesting to discover what part
the tro.it will play m this oampaign.

Captain Howgato was arrested in
Washington in 1881 for embezzlement
of fnnds that passed through his hands
os disbursing officer of the signal coi
also for forgery. The total amount
volved was (101,257. He was indicted
on sovon connts before a Unltod States
commissioner. His bail was fixod at
$40,000. He jumped his bail and disap
peared. Snbseqnently, in 1882, he reap
peared and gave himself up to stand
trial, bnt he escapod April 13, 1883.
The district attorney was informed last
week that Howgatc had been discovered
and wonld be arrested. His informa
tion came from ex-Chicf Drummond, of
the secret sorvioe. People in Washing

on the streets of New York several

Tho r.tory of Howgste’g exposure and
of his relations with a woman named
Nettle BurrUl, canted a great sensation
nt the time. For several years he had
led a doable domestic life in Washing
ton. Bnt a few squares away from the
home (hat contained his devoted wife,
mid the daughter who was to cling to
liim so detenniuodly in tho dark honrs
to come, he supported a woman in lux-
urions style. When the crash came and
friends tarnod from liSn. At the jail
he was treated with more consideration
than ordinary malefactors. He was so
utterly opposed to using the oommon
bath tubs in the jail that his kind heart
ed gnordlans relaxod their rule* to the
citeut of allowing the captain to visit
his residence on Thirteenth street, on
April 19, 1882, in order to indulge in
lavatory luxuriance. The offioers re
mained in the sitting room while How-
gate went n|> stairs for his bath. It is
from Spala, where the czar is sojourn
ing. Inflammation of the kidneys, from
which tho czar is suffering, has in-
Cf&lsed afid his majesty’s breathing is
extremely difficult and painful.

A RUMORED SALE.
Th« Central ef Georgia May Go to tho

Atlanta, Sept. 29.—A rnmor is ont
to tho effect that there will bo paper*
filed in the United States court at Ma-
oou within a very few days asking for
the immediate solo of the Central Bail-
rood of Georgia. It is said that the
same gained publication in an afternoon
paper in Muoon, nud that it was backed
up by the word of mon in position to
know what they were talking. . *
Although Receiver Comer wlllnot di
vulge any of tho dotails of the work, it
is said that the reorganizers are now
clamoring for a speedy straightening of
the Central's affairs. It is said that the
schemes are all laid and that_the work
will be rushed through the courts like a
flash of lightning.
It is further stated that the Southern
Railway company will control the sale
lie Central aUvilately, although it is
wed, and is in fact given out, that
tho giant system will not attempt to
buy tho rood outright or manage it in
the matter of operation.
According to the rumors that are out
it would appear that the papers asking
for tho snlo of the road will be ready to
be filed when Judge Speer in the Macon
ciurt convenes the oourt the first Mon
