ONE HUNDRED LIVES LOST.
Startling Report From Port Royal.
Augusta, CJa., Aug. 29.—A special to
the Chronicle from Port Royal, S. C.,
brings the startling information that
fully 100 lives have been lost at Port
Royal, Deaufort and neighboring points,
by drowning during the storm. Over
twenty-five of those were seen by the
correspondent, and his information was
received about the others from reliable
sources. Of the 100 persons killed and
drowned only six were white, the others
being negroes. The negroes were so
frightened and terror stricken that many
were killed and drowned by not leaving
their cabins to seek places of safety.
TWENTY DROWSED ON PARIS ISLAND.
Twenty persons were drowned on
Paris Island. No news has been re
ceived from St. Helena, four miles from
Beaufort. It is believed that fully
twenty-five lives were lost between Port
Royal and Seabrook, all negroes. Every
house in Beaufort and Port Royal was
damaged to some extent, and a number
of barges and crafts were wrecked and
blown ashore. . The. Coosaw Mining
Company loses 350,000. The total
losses are estmated in the neighborhood
of half a million dollars.
| STORM NOTES.
What the Wild Winds and Waves Have
Been Doing.
The Tvbee railroad is a perfect wreck.
Travel has been resumed between Sa
vannah and Charleston.
No news has been received of Dr.
Duncan and C. M. Cuningham, who
were on Wolf Island hunting. It is
feared they are lost.
The mortal remains of A. C. Ulmer
were laid to rest in Laurel Grove ceme
tery yesterday.
The steamship, City of Savannah, is a
total wreck on Hunting Island, but the
passengers and crew were all saved.
The women and children were sent ashore
in life boats and the remainder were
rescued by the steamship Birmingham.
The Savannah News contains a detailed
account this morning.
Vessels that survived the gale report
that they saw wrecks on every side.
It is now estimated that the death
t will reach five hundred when the
sad tidings are all in.
The damage to property along the
South Carolina and Georgia coast will
reach $3,000,000.
Savannah's shade trees were her glory
and her pride. Most of them are now
laid low.
The great storm of Sunday night will
go down to history as the most destruc
tive of the century.
There is no bright side to the storm
news. It is all disaster and death.

News Notes and Comments.
The Brunswick police force have
stuck to their posts like brave men that
they are.
It is not at all lilely now that Camp
Haines will be occupied. Nevertheless,
the work of preparation goes on.
Brunswick has had seven days now
without a suspicious case. It is almost
certain that the end of the scare has
come.
The Times-Advertiser thinks that
Brunswick- needs a board of trade now
more than she needs a board of health.
Dr. Guiteras, in answer to the ques
tion as to whether there would be an
epidemic in Brunswick, said: ‘'Not if
the population of the city remains as it
is until after a frost. On the other
hand if there is an inrush of people
and an -opening up of stores and resi
dences I think we would be justified in
fearing an epidemic.

at Port Tampa, Fla., and Savannah has
quarantined against the port and the

CHEERING NEWS FROM BRUNSWICK
Five Days of Freedom—People Cheerful
And Hopeful.
The Board of Health issued the fol
lowing proclamation yesterday:
To the Public.—This Board is pleas
ed to announce that since August 10,
1893, the first date of yellow fever
brought to this city from quarantine sta
tion that but three cases have occurred,
and this announcement is made after
careful and thorough examination of the
entire city, by visiting medical experts
and local physicians. -
There are to-day no new cases of any
kind, and the city is free from usual
summer sickness.
All rumors and reports of any other
cases sent abroad are absolutely tales
and misleading, and the public must not
give credence to same.
Only reports emanating from this
Board should be considered true and
official.

Albany, Ga., Aug. 29.—Albany’s
clearing house certificates made their ap
pearance to-day, and circulated freely
from the beginning. The first issue is
$15,000, which will be increased as de
mands make necessary. To begin with,
the city, which is a little short of money,
borrowed $3,000 of the certificate
pay off its emgloyes. The certificates
will run until January 1, 1S94, at which
time they will be called in.

A crazy country may quarantine

for help. And Brunswick feels the full
gratitude of their sympathy.

The Travels of an Old Hat.
An old hat passed through the ex
press office at this place this morning,
enroute for Jacksonville. It was covered
with tags and pasted over with slips.
The hat has been going the rounds of
the express for weeks. It is estimated
tbat it has already traveled ten thousand
miles and its wanderings are not yet at
an end. On the inside was pasted a
slip on which were written these words:
“When I conclude my weary trip aronnd
| the world, return me to my home at
Covington, Ky.”
Beware of Ointments for Catarrh that
contain Jltremy,
as mercury will surely destroy the sense
of smeH and completely derange the
whole system when entering it through
the mucous surfaces. Such articles
should never be used except on pre
scriptions from reputable physicians, as
the damage they will do is ten fold to
the good you can possibly derive from
them. Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manufac
tured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O.,
contains no mercury, and is taken in
ternally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system. In
buying Hall’s Catarrh Cure be sure you
get the genuine. It is taken internally
