THE CHEAT 01 LF STORM.
SWEEP* ACROSS KI.OKIDA AND
Af.o.VO THK ATI.ANTIC COAST,
I.KAVIM- A TRACK OF PESO-
I.ATIOX AND IUT\, HRVPX
HfNDRKD LfVK* DWT.
The m<i-t destructive storm
ever know n in this country start
ed in the (iulf of Mexico last
Tuesday and swept across Flor
ida and lower Georgia, striking
the Atlantia near Brunswick
and followed the coast as far
North as Washington, J>. O.
There have been severe local
storms from time to time, but
none that covered such a vast
territory and destroyed as many
lives and ns much property.
The detailed story of this de
structive cyclone reads more
like the Simoons of the torrid
zone than tin storms which
have occasionally visited this
continent.
It originated in the Gulf,
and came so suddenly and with
such terrific force that people
were not prepared to escu|>e its
fury. It first struck«at Cedar
Key*. at the mouth of the Su
wnnee river on the coast of
Florida, about 1 o’clock on the
morning of the 29th ult. Tin
wind seemed to be from the
South-East and struck with all
tin- force of a tornado, driving
in n great tidal wave. Boats,
warves and houses were crushed
and broken into fragments, and
the wreckage filled the air with
death-dealing missels.
Twenty or thirty jieopfe were
instantly killed or were drowned
and whole families were swept
under the roaring waters. Hun
dreds clung to tree tops and
timbers until the fury of the
storm had passed, and were
rescued bleeding and torn to
their families.
The loss of property was fear
ful. and no correct estimate
has been made. To add to tin
horror, tin- broke out and burn
ed fiercely, destroying large
hotels, private residences and
business houses.
The storm passed on North,
towards Lake City, leveling
timber and houses in its path
way. Along tin-Georgia. South
ern A Florida road the destruc
tion was fearful; a number of
towns were completely demol
ished, and the ungathered crops
are nearly ruined. It is be
lieved that not less than 100
people were killed in Florida.
In Charlton and Camden
counties, in this State, the loss
was heavy. At Darien, houses
were blown down, trees uproot
ed and live stock killed. It
lasted lien-one and a half hours.
Tin- loss of property in that
city is estimated at $40,000.
At Brunswick, tin- loss is es
timated at half a million, and
a number of persons were kill
ed.
The track '4 the tornado was
along the coast, and there was
great injury to shipping, aud
especially the smaller crafts
which were capsized and tln-ir
crews drowned.
At Savannah, the loss is es
timated at one million dollars.
It struck the city about tl
o’clock and the tearful work of
dost ruction continued for one
hour. Many of the Beautiful
parks of the city are utterly
ruined, hundreds of houses
were unroofed and the min
poured in, ruining furniture
and merchandise.
Houses were blown down and
the si reels Blockaded bv the
debris. Churches and other
public Buildings if not cut indy
destroyed were Badly wrecked.
Damage to the shipping was
immense; Boat* at anchor on
the river were driven on tin*
shore, und some of them arc
lying <’>ut on high ground where
they were driven by the wind.
Many large warehouses along
lb** river front were unroofed.
The jssiplo worked all evening
and night to clear tile sheets
so that travel could proofed.
The number of |x*rxonxdrott ned
has not yet been fully rejsu ted.
The rice plantations are hugely
peopled by negroea, many of
whom were killed. The de
struction to the nee crop, it is
said, will ba fully 50 per cent.
The ravages of the storm
along the coast to Charleston
and Wilmington, X. C,, are
fearful, hut not many d'uth*
reported. At Richmond, Vu.,
and in Washington the fury of
the winds had somewhat abated,
but still it was heavy enough
to collapse two buildings in
Washington, where several were
lulled. •
Jt ip estjiuati'd that along the

and many of them in a desti

assistance to save the people
from starving.
CHARTERS GooD~
THK SPPIJEMK cot'RT REVERSES
ITS I»K< ISION. Al HI KN AM>
WINDER A 1,1, RIOHT,
Some time last spring the
Supreme court rendered a de
cision that affected the charters
of 00 towns in the State. It
created consternation from ojie
end of the State to the other.
It set aside the acts incorporat
ing many towns, and the people
were left without police protec
tion. The acts of the Mayor
and Council were illegal, and
made them liable for damage
suits for false improsoniiient
and illegal collection of taxes.
The confusion came aboui in
this way. t’nder the old law
all ‘owns had to Is- incorporat
ed by the General Assembly.
In 181)1 the Legislature pass
ed a law that all towns with
less tHan 2,000 population must
be chartered by the Superior
court and not by the Legisla
tu re.
In 1808 the Legislature un
dertook to repeal that ad so. as
to leave the old law in force,
and allow the Legislature to
■till grant charters.
Supposing tin- law to be all
right, Ofi towns applied to the
legislature and were duly in
corporated.
The Supreme court held that
this repealing act was void, as
it did not comply with the con
stitutional requirements, which
requires tliat in order to riqx-nl
a section of the rode the old
law must be more fully de
scribed than by mere reference
to Its date or section. This
left the old law in force which
prohibited the Legislature from
chartering towns.
Last week the Supreme court
concluded to le-open the case
and have it re-argued. They
found that the decision they
made was in conflict with one
in the Htj Georgia.
Tie* first decision was made
by two Judges, and on re-argu
ing it before h lull Benoit they
reversed their decision and held
that the law was not unconsti
tutional.
The ellfct y*f Jliis
makes valid, tic acts of the
Legislature incorporating these
small towns.
The towns of Auburn and
Winder were on the list,-and
supposing that the former de
cision set their charters aside
they have ceased to use iheir
corporate powers and were ar
ranging to get new charters.
This last decision sets them
all right again. Their charters
arc legal and the authorities
elected last w inter can at once
proceed to enforce their ordi
nances. The powers granted By
tic charter have Been suspend
ed for several months, But this
does not affect their right to go
on now . The MUvor und Coun
cil have been legal nftiaers all
tin* time, and they can procied
to act under their charter as
they (till before the decision just
referred to was nutde,
A CriUOl'S MISTAKE.
Judge Butt will have to r*-
sentence Dr. Ryder. H« sen
tenced him to la* hung nu the
l.'itli of January. The law n*.
quires that the judge shall xen
teiittf a man convicted of mur
der todeudi not less than twen
ty nor more than sixty days
from the dull* of the sentence.
This sentence is therefore
dearly illegal, and the Hherilf
ci >oBJ not execute it. How a
Judge u op|() make such a Blun
der is so important ;,* matter is
strange. It is undi'rstiusf that
tln* Judge, seeing his mistake,
will call an extra session of
court and re-si'ulence the pri—
oiler, otherwise ft would fie the
duty of tin* Supreme court tn
set it aside.
It will proßgldy not make
much difference, as the counsel
for the prisoner will carry hi»
case to the Supreme court, and
that wi 1 sus|Mind the sentence
until that court reverses the
errors complained of.

a well to do farmer, was convic
ted last week of murdciing hi

HASTHE SOUTHERN SCOOI’
EHTHE SEABOARD?
Reports which ••seem to be
weli founded have been in cir
culation for the last week that
*h>- Southern system has pur
chard a controlling interest in
tin- Seaboard Air Line. This
is denied, but it conietr in such
■linpe as to erenle general be
lief that the great syndicate
either has or will control a ma
jority of the -took in Hie.near
future.
It is a well known fact that
the Seaboard Im- not been a
paying investment. It - has
about covered running expens
es tint Jins failed to pay the in
terest nil its bonds. In itr (lentil
struggle to hold its position it
has reduced rates to such an
extent that it cannot pay, and
the result will tie that the bond
holders will soon get tired of
waiting for tloir money and
tin- securities will be thrown on
tin- make). The syndicate that
contents the. other lines will lie
in a p >-iI ion to take up enough
of these bonds, t i control the
innna» iio-nt, and then there
will be a general change of of
ficials.
\VI LL WATSOnTvITHDR A W ?
Tom Watson (has not seem
satisfied with the progress ot
lh<- campaign. He went, into
the tight with the hope that
Sewnll would consent to sur
render his claim and leave
Bryan and Watson ns the.win
ning I icket •
In this lie lias been disap
pointed. Sewnll is in tlve light
to the finish, and with the fu
sion tickefs adopted in Tin 11
dozen States will get the vote
that Watson expected to boom
his ambition.
Even in Alabama, Kolb, the
State leader cf the Populists,
has advised the Watson elec
tors to withdraw and let tln
state Vote be counted for tlie
regular i icket.
In Indiana, Kansas. Louisi
ana and other States the fusion
ticket has left Watson nut in
the cold, and it is rumored that
Watson and Senator Butler of
North Carolina, who is Chair-,
man of tin- Executive commit
tee, are not at a good .under
standing.
H is believed that in4he m-xt
ten days VV'atson will retire
fenm tin* race. He sFes that
there is no hope for his elec
tion in any event, neither bv
the people or b\- tile Senate, if
the elect imi should I on
"that body. He is engaged’in u
thankless job, and as soon'as
the State election is over may
retire, lie declines at present
to discuss 1 he matter.
The Democratic executive
committee of Bihb county lias
adopted a resolution that any
Democrat who fails to vote the
full ticket this fall shall not Be
allowed to participate iira D«*m
ocratic primary in tin* future.
The misfortui this com
mittee, like some others, is that
it makes the great' mistake of
supposing that they are the
party and have the right todie
tate to the people what they
shall and what they shall not
do. TJiey assume all power is
vested in their hands and the
voters will ijuiolly submit to
anything they do. ,
