MANY COAST TOWNS
ISOLATED BY STORM
FROM OUTSIDE WORLD
S 3,000,000. The entire water front Is
reported wrecked. •
Piers were destroyed and ships were
hurled Into the streets by the force of
the wind. Houses were blown down
and the streets flooded.
These reports are brought bv fugi
tives who have reached points of com
munication by wire with ths outside
world. Pensacola Is still cut ofT.
Anxiety for Mobile.
, Great anxiety Is felt for Mobile. The
wires are still dewn While the wires
In surrounding towns were working at
Intervals yesterday, enough waa learn
od to know that the storm In that vt
Clnlty was of great violence.
- Louisiana, along the Mississippi tlv
er Is known to have suffered heavily.
Reports received, however, give but a
slight Idea of the damage. Water drtv
en by the high wind from the gulf
rolled up the river and overflowed the-
whole country. Under the fllrcum-
stances nothing but a miracle can have
prevented loss of Ilfs.
Houses Ars Unroofed.
New Orleans escaped with a severe
drenching and a property loss of about
87B.OOO, caused by the unroofing of
buildings and destruction of a few
bouses and old structures.
., Pears are enteitalned for about forty
passengers who were on a boat, the
Lady Amelia, on Lake Pontchartraln.
. Numerous pleasure parties are known
to have been out In small yachts among
the Florida keys, beyond the reach of
storm signals, and it la feared there
. may have been loss of life among them.
PROPERTY DESTROYED
AT SELMA, ALABAMA.
Special to The Georgian*
, • Selma, Ala,, Sept. 38.—A heavy wind,
accompanied by rain, haa prevailed In
ifelma for nearly 24 houra. All wire
connection, both railway, and commer
cial telegraph companies, being cut off.
hm no reporta of washouts or dain-
*f0 are brought by the Incoming trains.
The xmokeat*c(t 'Of the 'International
Cdttoif Seed (ill Company, which whs
nearing completion and had reached
abuul SO feet, was blown down yester
day, The heavy Iron falling on the
. roof and crushing In the ginnery of
■ the company, Two of tlie gins were
< badly ihunased. The damage to the
alack and building Is estimated at
• ab lUt 15,000.
Many trees were blown down In Sel
ma, and several roofa were blown off.
Bo for no casualties have been report-
hpeelsl to The Georgina.
New Orleana, La., Sept. 23.—For the
past 24 houra all effort! to reach the
exposed towns on the coast, east and
south of here, have failed. From Lake
Catherine, eastward, these towns are:
Bay St. Louis, Pass Christian, Missis
sippi City, Biloxi, Oregn Springs, Pas
cagoula and Scranton. These places
fsce the Mlesleslppl sound, across
which the wind has a long sweep. Some
of them extend up to the brink of the
sound which Is In places not mors than
six to ten feet above the normal tea
level. Many of these banks are more
over of soft earth.
Several Towns Isolated.
Although the local papers have tried
to reach these towns by roundabout
telegrams northward Into the middle of
Mlsalsstppl and thence to the coast, not
an Intimation of the situation haa been
received. Not only wee all rail and
telegraphic and telephonic communica
tion cut off with the Mississippi sound
towns, but there was not any Imme
dlate prospects of news by boat, a re
sort which has frequently succeeded In
the pest when storms have Isolated the
sound towns. Apprehension was In
creased by the fact that these pieces,
beginning nt Lake Catherine, the scene
of the flooding of the Louisville and
Nashville tracks, and the farthest point
eagt reached thus far, are much more
sxpoaed to wind and water than the
larger gulf cities which have harbors,
he Mississippi river was anxiously
The ....
watched all day for the appearance of
any one of a fleet of eight iron steam
ers which are either due or overdue
here.
Wireless Station Abandoned.
The wireless elation at the mouth of
the river was abandoned early in the
storm, the last report being that there
wea about eight feet of water over the
floor of, the operator's room. By long
distance telephone New Orleans could
reach only Baton Rouge and Houston,
Texas, while the available telegraph
wires ran to'Galveston, Houston and to
Memphis. Railroad service north and
west was uninterrupted.
The damage reported |hu* far Is con
fined mostly to the havoc of the tide
driven by the wind upon the gulf coast
to an unusual bright. At the mouth of
the Mlesleslppl river pilots ere com
pelled to abandon their tows. Twenty,
live Austrian fishermen and their fam
ilies spent the night In hosts on Don!-
lots canal to escape the water, which Is
rising over the Mississippi delta and
threatening their ceblne. The rice fields
are considerably damaged In this sec
tion. No vessels have attempted to en-
ter at the mouth of the Mississippi
river since Tuesday night, but are rid
ing out the storm In the open gulf.
Railroads Receive No News.
Louisville and Nashville officials said
they were absolutely without advices
as to the situation on their roAd east
of Lake Catherine end do not know If
their tracks are washed out cast of
that point.
A pile driver drifted from the Queen
and Crescent tracks against the Louis
ville and Nashville embankment, car-
rylng down telegraph and telephone
poles.
Passengers arriving here over the
Illinois Central tonight said that while
the train waa atopplng nt Macon, Mias.,
a hotel collapsed there, killing two per
sons. They said that heavy wind waa
encountered at Macon. They had no
further details. '
Spent Night In Boats,
The worst damage In the city waa
nt West End, a summer pleasure re
tort, largely built on plera over Lake
Pontchartraln and about 5 miles from
the center of the city. Here the piers
leading to the Southern Yacht Club
were washed away, leaving the keeper,
hie wife and three children maroon^l
In the building. Boats from shore car
tied the wife and children from Uielr
dangerous position, but the keeper re
mained at hie post. Portions of an
amusement wharf were washed away,
the water eating a path up to the foot
on the lake bank, a shooting gallery
and bath houses going Ip to the lake.
Near West End Inhabitants of Buck-
town, n gambling resort, were driven
from tbelr houses, some ,jif which
floated from their supports.
Mllnsberg, another resort on the
lake, was partly mibjnerged last night
and today poles were sent them to prop
up houses which appeared about to
fall Into the waves. Much of the pop
ulation of Mllnsberg spent Wednesday
In boats.
Southport, on the Mississippi river
above the city, the force of the wind
and waves caused two. coal barges to
fill and sink while tugs had a hard
struggle to save other barges from go
ing down.
At Little Wood, near Lake Pontchar
traln, arid 8 miles from the city, T.
Kongo, hie wife nnd a boy saved their
lives last night by wading through wa
ter which nt times was waist deep.
Their house was blown down and they
saw another house collapse In the
wind.
Great damage to rice crops Is also
reported.

Dallas, Texes. Sept. 28.—The political
situation In Texas prsaents some queer
condition!, the like of which have not
been witnessed In this state in years.
One thing that makes It Interesting Is
ths split In the Republican party, there
being two state Republican tickets In
the flsld. But the moat Interesting part
of the situation Is that as to whether
Joseph Weldon Bailey, Junior United
States senator from Texas, should be
■ent back to the senate. Mr. Bailey,
before th, evidence given by Henry
Clay Pierce, wo* the Idol of the Dem
ocracy of Texas, and anything within
the gift of the people of this state
would have cheerfully been bestowed
upon him. Since the, charge has been
published to the world that Senator
Bailey, while representing the people of
Texas In the highest legislative body
of the-country, had also used his tal-
snts, Influence and energy toward fur
therlng the plan* of the Standard Oil
Company, la more than many voters of
Texas will stand for.
Bailey Had No Opposition.
Senator Bailey had nd opposition for
renomlnstion during the primaries held
on August 28, and as a result he was
renominated by the Democrats for this
high position. There were many voters
In the state, however, who had charged
that Senator Bailey was not true to his
party, and he ran from 15,000 to 20,000
votes behind the ticket. Since the
testimony given by Henry Clay Pierce
haa become commonly known, this op-
position has become more pronounced.
At a mass msetlng of Democrats held
In Wood county, a few days ago, reso
lutions addressed to the representatives
