Lives Reported Lost
From Many Small
Towns.
From reports received from Mobile, Ala., and Pensacola, Fla.,
which seem to have suffered to an enormous extent as a result of the
hurricane which lashed tho gulf coast Wednesday, 100 persons lost
life.
Tho aggregate property loss is estimated at from $8,000,000 to
$10,000,000.
Scores of great steamers nnd hundreds of smnller craft in the
hnrhors of Pensacola and Mobile were driven ashore and destroyed.
Wharves were wrecked. Fivo thousand houses at Mobile wore dam
aged.
For trn miles along the coast in the vicinity of Pensacola all
houses have been damaged or entirely destroyed. Iieports indicate
that the Kr e «tcst loss of life was nmong negroes.
Fear is felt tha^ the navy yard near l’ensncola Jins suffered preat
damage. Several warships are at the yard and they may .have been
wrecked.
Eight big ships ami a revenue cutter at Mobile were sunk at
their wharves and smaller vessels were thrown on shore. The
Mobile business quarter was devastated and tho food supply is faid
to be running dangerously low. The same is true of the situation at
Pensacola.
Some of the smnller towns on the gulf between Mobile nnd
Pensacola are snid to have been wiped off the map. To add to the
horror of the situation, thieves are looting houses and the authorities
are having difficulty in stopping the work of the robbers.
At Mobile orders have been given to shoot all persons found
robbing homes or business houses.
The streets of Mobile and Pensacola arc a mass of wreckage.
The railroad tracks have, in many cases, been washed up. Electric
light, street railway and telephone and telegraph systems have
been put out of commission.
Fears are felt for persons and property at Gulfport and Biloxi

coast.
It is stated that the Louisville and Nashville railroad suffered

matched. The Tennessean* had a
slight advantage In weight If there
was any.
Tech kicked off and Mnryvllle re
turned the sphere five yard* before the
runner was downed. Affer one attempt
to gain, Maryville kicked 25 yards and
regained the ball. The Tennesseans
then ruched the ball 10 yards and mode
It first down.
Then a side kick was attempted by
the visitors but the ball flew out of
