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. ► The Only One Ever Printed—Can Y'on Find the Word 1 There is a 3-inch display advertisement in this paper, this week, which has no two words alike except one word.

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. There is another case of yellow fever at Port Tampa, Fla., and Savannah has quarantined against the port and the citv.

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. Attest: H. Burfof.d, M. D., L. C. Bodet, Acting Sec. Pres. ALBANY’S CERTIFICATES. 815,000 Issued aud Accepted Gladly on All Hands. 2 00 2 00 o 00 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. Christian Endeavor Sociable. There will be an Endeavor sociable at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. H.

Each day the prospect for better times grows brighter. The eyes of an expectant nation are now upon the senate. The cry of the anarchists is “bread, blood or beer,” specilly beer. There has been more fuss and fright than fever in Brunswick. Storm policies are said to be grow ing in popularity throughout the land. It is true just at this time that America is the home of the home less. It is to be hoped that the Senate will wind up its part of the silver cir cus this week. There was a new case in Bruns r wick day before yesterday. Mother and child doing well. It’s a boy. If sympathy could fill the bill, Brunswick would be herself twice over in less than twenty-four hours.'

The Brunswick Times-Advertiser comes to us lake an epidemic, epidemic. The only thing that fills the breast of the Brunswick darkey with an impen etrable gloom, says Judge Symmes, is the stubborn fact that he is not nor can not be a widow or an orphan, for the iron-clad rule has been established to give nothing out except to widows and orphans. And when we come to think of it, the itampede from Brunswick must have had its ludicrous side. SHUT OUT AGAIN. Another Case of Yellow Fever at Port Tampa. The-Savannah News publishes the followiugthii mornsng: There i* another case of yellow fever Port’ TampiL^Tliir fdirowingielegram from Dr. Porter, Florida’s State health officer, conveying the information, was received by Dr. Brunner late Tuesday night. “Case yellow’ fever on dock at Port Tampa. Ten days from possible ex posure. Have a cordon around Port Tampa. Will let out well people, non- exposed, going north <>» Philadelphia.” Dr. Brunner at once ordered the sani tary inspectors to enforce quarantine against Port Tampa, Tampa and Ybor City. The sanitary board met yesterday morning and confirmed Dr. Brunner’s action, and quarantine was officially re established against Tampa and vicinity.

There are over 4,000' neighbor, and they are not going to the camp either. A crazy country may quarantine against Atlanta; but she wears her heart in the right place, all the same. Brun s- wick people are saying nice things about the great and only Atlanta. Brunswick’s neighboring towns were all quick to respond to the first appeal for help. And Brunswick feels the full gratitude of their sympathy. The Waycross Herald notifies the „ i editor of the T.-A. that lie only has to programme j coininanf j any f. lvor t<> p e granted. The T.-A. feels' that the message is all wool and a y/ird wide. But for the present the T.-A. only prays for the removal of this crazy barricade against us.

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.

What we lose in the east we will make up in the west. One of the disquieting symptoms is that Congressman Jerry Simpson has shaved off his moustache.—Ex. Without socks or moustache Jerry is in danger of catching cold. And now Ohio claims the proud distinction of sending a mau to the penitentiary for life, for stealing three chickens. If they were frying size aud fat we don’t blame Ohio. Wilson, McMillan and Turner will be the leaders in framing the Demo cratic tariff bill. This is sufficient assurance that the bill will be accept able to the southern Democracy. Reports from Washington in re gard to the President’s health are causing considerable uneasiness throughout the country. It is quite , evident that the President’s health is •*anything but good. Mocon will issue 100,000 of cleaning house certificats this week. It looks ..as if a majority of Geor gia cities were about to work out their own salvation without the assistance of Congress. Many of the Democratic Congress men who stood flat-footed on the Democratic platform when they were clamoring for votes, now stand or the fringe, truthfully remarks the Albany HeralS. Such Democrats should be remembered in the days to come, and they will be. One of the cremation companies of New York reports that thus far it has cremated 1,010 parsons; 650 men, 270 women, 53 boys aud 35 girls. Only 855 of these persons were jiatii’e Americans. Germany had 510. England 34 and other coun tries had one or two representatives. The fact that there i9 not money enough in interior towns to move the cotton crop has not been set forth by the press as clearly as it should have been. The truth is that every paper is pulling for its own town and has been afraid to state that neither the merchants or the banks had money to pay for the crop. Chicago will celebrate the anniver sary of her great fire. Chicago is original in everything. And now that Congress has made a move we shall expect in the course of time to hear from the Senate. With the fever checked in Bruns wick aud the Sherman act repealed we surely have much to be thankful for. As soon as possible the legislature of Georgia should provide for the establishing of a state board of health. It is now supposed that the end of the world prophets and the weather prophets have all joined the calamity howler, prophets.
