A STORM’S FURY.
Fearlo] flame WroaiM Aloug lie Sill
Atlantic Coast.
Savannah Torn ami Sorrow-Stricken.
Havoc at Other Points.
A Savannah special says: Almost on
the anniversary of 1881,'Savannah was
swept Sunday night by one of the se
verest storms it has ever known. The
storm, which had been predicted by
the weather bureau for several days,
began early in the afternoon and in
creased from then on until it reached
the cljmax between 11 and 12 o’clock
Sunday night, having blown for eight
hours in a terrific hurricane. It be
gan raining early in the morning, but
only in gusts. After the first fall it
ceased entirely for several hours, and
did not begin again until afternoon.
Then the work of destruction began
and lasted until the storm had spent
its force. At midnight all the wharves
along the river front and Ocean Steam
ship company and Savannah, Florida
and Western railway wharves were
under water and the tide was still ris
ing rapidly.
A view of the city at daylight Mon
day morning revealed a scene of wreck
and ruin that surpassed that after the
great hurricane of 1881. The streets
were impassable from the debris.
Fallen trees, twisted roofs, masses of
brick, fences and broken limbs and
branches of trees, were idled across
the sidewalks and in the squares, and
broken wires hung in every direction.
It is impossible at present to estimate
the damage, as the result of the storm,
but it was very general, and it is safe
to say that it will go up in the hun
dreds of thousands, and perhaps high : '
er. Nearly everyone, if not quite all
the property owners in the city, have
been damaged to some extent, and
some to the extent of thousands.
FIFTY MISSING.
The list of fatalities is gradually
growing, and it is impossible to tell to
what extent it will go. Several bod
ies of drowned persons were picked up
during the morning, and searches are
now being macle for others who are
missing. Every hour seems to bring
some new story of a death as a result
of the storm.
Fourteen people are known to be
dead, and forty or fifty others are re
ported missing, and it is supposed, as
nothing has been heard from them,
that their bodies will be found later.
A DOZEN VESSELS WRECKED.
Twelve barks and barken tines which
were anchored at quarantine station
were blown high and dry upon the
marsh, and some of them were carried
by the storm across the marshes on to
an island two miles distant from the
station. One of the vessels at Tybee
was completely capsized and three of
the clubhouses on the island were
blown entirely down. Others were
flooded and the people sought shelter
wherever they could. The wires are
all down and Savannah is almost shut
off from telegraphic communication.
QUARANTINE DEMOLISHED.
The ruin at quarantine is immeas
urable. Nothing is standing where
one of the finest stations on the south
Atlantic was located except the doc
tors’ house, and how this weathered
the fearful gale is miraculous; tho
wharves are gone, the new fumi
gating plant w'hich has cost the city
so much money is in the bottom of
the sea, and nine vessels which were
waiting there for release to come to
the city are high and dry in
the marsh, and no doubt will be total
wrecks. The Cosnine was the only
vessel which managed to keep afloat.
FOURTEEN DROWNED.
The tug Paulsen arrived in the city
at 5 o’clock Monday afternoon. She
brought up about sixty passengers
from Tybee. Mr. Revers, one of them,
stated that four negroes engaged in
clearing the railroad tracks were
drowned. It is reported that eight of
the crew of a terrapin sloop which
went ashore on the south end were
drowned.'
HAVOC ON TYBEE.
The Hotel Tybee was considerably
damaged. Her verandas are gone and
so are the bathhouses. The Knights
of Pythias clubhouse was washed
away. Two of the cottages of the
Cottage Club are gone. The Butler
house is gone. Mr. Starr’s house
was washed into the woods. The
Ranche and Rambler clubhouses were
wrecked. The railroad track is clean
ed out. Henry Green’s house was
burned. George Bossell’s cottage was
swept out to sea. The north end was
practically cleaned out. The water
swept with tremendous force over this
part of the island, railroad tracks be
ing carried from 200 to 500 feet.
ILL FATED CHARLESTON.
A Charleston special says: While
the record of terror and ruin wrought
by the great disaster of 1885 remains
unbroken, Charleston has again stood
in the track of a cyclone which has
shaken the old city to her foundation
stones. The damage to property can
not be told and the loss of life is un
known.
The citizens awoke Monday morn
ing and gazed upon innumerable evi
State of iatie
dences of the hurricane which swept
over the city Sunday afternoon and
night. Uprooted trees, fallen roofs,
broken fences and in the less substan
tial parts of the town, wrecked sheds
and shanties were found everywhere.
A veritable cyclone with all the ter
rors which the word has for the people
of that section, swept up the coast and
across Charleston. Early Saturday
morning the dreaded signal was run
up, and the city held its breath hoping
that the storm might pass her by.
But the weather looked exceedingly
threatening Sunday morning, and
witjiin a short time it became no long
er a doubt that the dreaded cyclone
was to decend upon the city in all its
fury. The craft lying at anchor in
the bay were first to take alarm, and
from all quarters of the harbor they
hurried to safety. The largest vessels,
no lest than the smallest craft, sought
protection from the angry tempest.
By 1 o’clock the storm burst in
all its fury. Several easualities
to persons and much serious
damage is reported, but a complete
inventory can only be made after a
careful inspection of the territory ex
tending from the Ten Mile house to
the Battery. Every wire in the city
was prostrated; thousands of trCfcs
were denuded of their foliage and
limbs blown entirely down. A hun
dred houses were unroofed and a num
ber of frame buildings wrecked. The
Charleston lead works were seriously
damaged, and the property in the
neighborhood of Charleston neck was
injured to the extent of $1,000,000. Es
timates in the city are impossible.
Half of the streets are impassable on
account of fallen trees, telegraph poles
and timbers. Serious fears are enter
tained for the inhabitants of Sullivan’s
island and the coast. The former
place was last heard from at 3 p. m.,
Sunday. Communication is now sus
pended.
THE BLOW AT AUGUSTA.
An Augusta, Ga., special says:
Sunday night’s storm was the worst
that ever visited vVigusta within the
recollection of the oldest citizens. It
was a violent wind storm, accompanied
by over three inches of rain which
fell down with great force. Men and
women were badly frightened and
filled with dread and fear of the re
sults. The roaring, blustering wind
traveled at a high velocity and swept
everything before it. It was a fright
ful night and made strong men timid.
People were not surprised upon look
ing out Monday morning to see trees
uprooted. Sidewalks were torn up by
the falling trees. Electric light, fire
alarm and telephone wires were broken
down, and hanging signs were blown
away. All telegraphic communication
was shut off except to Atlanta. Crops
were badly damaged in th surround
ing country. Corn was blown down
and cotton whipped out. There was
no los3 of life.
AT BRUNSWICK.
Following in the wake of the fever
and the famine, the elements heaped
destruction on the ill-fated city of
Brunswick. Streets were flooded and
made impassable to pedestrians. The
storm did not stop until daybreak
Monday morning. Thousands of dol
lars damage was done along the coast.
The damage to the buildings in the
city is heavy.
FEARFUL IN FLORIDA.
Jacksonville, Fla., was struck by
the cyclone about daybreak Sunday
morning, which rapidly increased in
force and fury up to 4 o’clock p. m.
It traveled in a northwesterly direc
tion from the West Indies.
It first struck the Florida coast at a
point south of Jupiter inlet. Its
course was still northwesterly, and it
traversed the whole eastern portion of
the peninsula, damaging property
more or less in a path forty to fifty
miles wide from the coast line west
ward.
In Jacksonville hundreds of trees
were blown down and scores of dwell
ings and public buildings were either
unroofed entirely or had the tin blown
from them. The most serious damage
was to the Park opera house and the
Ocean Street Presbyterian church.
At Mayport (mouth of St. John’s
river) all the buildings suffered more
or less, and the old Atlantic house was
demolished completely. At Pablo
beach the sea encroached upon the
railroad tracks and the premesis of the
cottagers and the wind played sad
havoc among them. All the telegraph
and telephone wires were blown down.
St. Augustine reports the water
coming in over the sea wall and dama
ging residences and business blocks.
About thirty or forty yachts and small
crafts were badly damaged, or com
pletely destroyed. The fate of other
localities in Florida as well as of the
outside territory invaded by the storm,
is still a sealed "book. The wires are
down in every direction from Jack
sonville and communication with the
outside world was ausolutely cut off.
A Columbia special says: All South
Carolina was in the very teeth of the
storm. The state weather observer
savs that nearly the entire early rice
crop has been destroyed and that cot
ton has been injured from 25 to 30 per
cent. The crops in this section are in
a distressing condition. Corn and
peas are ruined. Pasture fences have
been blown away and the cattle are
scattered everywhere. Barns and
cribs have been blown down, leaving
the forage exposed.
TRENTON, GA. FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 1,1893.
LATER PARTICULARS.
Specials of Tuesday from Savannah
state that the list of fatalities a3 the
result of'Sunday’s is rapidly in
creasing. The City of Savannah,
which sailed from Boston Thursday,
is fifty hours overdue and no tidings
from her, whatever, have been receiv
ed. The Savannah is one of the old
est boats on the line. The William
Crane steamer from Baltimore reach
ed the city Thursday, but in a rather
bad condition. Her captain re
ports wreckage all along the coast
near Charleston. There were
cabin doors, spars, mats and parts of
vessels of all kinds. Whether any of
them were the remains of the City of
Savannah is not known, but the sup
position is that such was the case. The
passenger list has not yet arrived from
Boston and it is not known who were
on board.
Hutchinson’s island presents a scene
of devastation. The entire island is Btill
covered with water and several houses,
which were on the little farms across
the river, have disappeared from view.
The bank opposite the city is strewn
with the w T recks of dwelling, sheds and
old boats.
At the lumber wharves near Yale
Royal considerable lumber wastfloated
off, but most of this can Ije recovered.
Had Tybee island been washed away
the demolition and destruction could
not have been much worse than it is.
Houses were blown down, burned,
washed away and otherwise demolish
ed. Six lives were lost on the island.
Numbers of colored people on
Hutchinson’s island are missing, and
it is believed that many more perished.
A party, consisting of C. A. Gradot,
George Schwarz, Harry Fender, Wal
ter Robider and two others left Savan
nah Sunday morning on a “maroon”
and have not been heard from since.
The steamer Boellevue, sighted an
abandoned boat, bottom up,
which the friends of those in the ma
rooning party fear was their boat.
River men and others say that the full
list of those who were lost in the
storm will never be known except by
the missing of those who fail to re
turn.
FIFTEEN WRECKS.
Fifteen vessels on the harbor and off
Tybee were wrecked or badly dam
aged. More than that number of
smaller crafts are missing and are be
lieved to have been lost.
The loss of life at Charleston has
been remarkably slight, considering
the fearful ravage which was done to
property in every quarter of the city.
The total death roll numbers six per
sons, three of whom met death in the
city and three on Sullivan’s island.
THE DAMAGE DONE.
It is difficult to give an estimate of
the damage done by the storm. The
following is a rough estimate: To
buildings, SIOO,OOO ; vessels wrecked,
$150,000; damage to the railroads
leading out of the city, SIOO,OOO ; dam
age to the rice crop, $200,000. The
interior tributary to Savannah is dam
aged probably to the amount of SI,OOO, -
000 or more, as the cotton crop over a
wide territory has suffered severely
and in many turpentine
least one-fourth of the trees
troyed.
ONE HUNDRED KILLED.
According to the latest dispatches,
the cyclone on the Atlantic coast Sun
day morning was more severe at Port
Royal, S. C. ,than at either Charleston or
Savannah, while the neighboring town
of Beaufort was almost wiped away.
The tidal wave struck Port Royal and
the damage to property is nothing in
comparison to the loss of life. Over
one hundred are known to have been
drowned and killed in Port Royal,
Beaufort, Seabrook and on Helena is
land.
DECIDING BY VOTE.
Employes of the Louisville and Nash-
Resist a Cut in Wages.
According to e previous arrange
ment the representatives of the differ
ent labor organizations employed on
the Louisville and Nashville railroad
system, met in Nashville, Tenn., Fri
day to count the vote recently taken
by the different divisions as to wheth
er they would submit to the ten per
cent cut in wages ordered by the road
and which, if not otherwise ordered,
was to go into effect on September the
first. The representatives were com
posed of the chairman of each organi
zation in their respective divisions
and the general chairman of the di
vision. The different bodies repre
sented were the engineers, telegraph
operators, conductors, brakemen,
switchmen, firemen and machinists.
By an overwhelming vote the employes
decided to resist the unconditional
reduction in wages. The main point
of difference, it is leatned, between the
railroad and its employes is the nam
ing of date for the between for the re
turn to the present schedule of wages.
It was ot this point that the men were
so overwhelmingly agaist a reduction.
It is not known when they will present
to the management the result of the
It is expected that the negotiations
will extend over several weeks.
Trade journals are noting the fact
that the price of wool is the lowest in
its history.
AT THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.
Affairs ot Government and Mine ot
He House ani Senate Discussed.
Notes of Interest Concerning the Peo
ple and Their General Welfare.
The committee on ways and means
will proceed at once with tho prepara
ration of a general tariff bill, and will
give hearings in the course thereof to
persons and parties interested.
Secretary Carlisle sent to the house
Friday a letter recommending an ap
propriation of $300,000 for continuiug
the recoinage of fractional silver coins.
The secretary asks that the approdria
tion be made available immediately.
The receent advices received by Sec
retary Morton from one of bis agents
in Europe, Mr. Mattes, fully affirm
previous reports regarding the short
age of certain crops, in sections of
Europe, which he represents is likely
to create a very large demand
for American forage crops, including
corn, although he does not think it
likely that much of the latter will be
used as a human food.
Saturday was a great day in the
house. It was a field day. There lias
not been such a day of oratory in this
branch for many years. All the great
orators of the body appeared before
the footlights, so to speak. The gal
leries were crowded to their fullest
capacity. Every seat on the floor was
filled and the interest manifested in
the closing day of the great silver de
bate was intense. The speakers were
the best that each side had to present.
The repeal men, however, presented
the strongest men of the debate.
Eleven .Vlnjorlty in theSennle.
That the bill for unconditional re
peal will pass the senate is quite as
certain as that it will pass the house.
The supporters of the Yoorliees bill
confidently claim eleven majority
without the three new senatoas from
the western states, who may or may
not be in their seats at this time. There
are eleven senators who have not as yet
annouced their final determina
tion as to how they will vote. Of these
seven are said to be wavering toward
unconditional repeal and four towards
the .mbstbute. A great deal would
seem to depend on the vote in the
house, the size and character of the
majority lftie Wilson bill receives. It
is decisive and unmistakable, the sen
ate will probably be careful not to
have the wrath of the
ed at that body, as it if they
long delay mr|*Jprs.
How tm; South Voted.
The vote in the house Monday for
the restoration of the Bland-Allison
act showed how the delegations from
the southern states really stand on

showed their greatest strength. Tho

Silver in tiie Senate.
The senate committee on finance
Tuesday morning decided to report
back to the senate the Wilson repeal
bill with the recommendation that the
Voorhees bill, already on the senate
calendar, be substituted for it. The
committee also resolved to set aside
the national bank circulation bill,
which is now unfinished business in
the senate in favor of the Voorhees
bill, and press the latter measure as
rapidly as the temper of the
senate will permit. The dif
ference between the house bill
and the Voorhees bill is found in the
attachment to the latter of a para
graph declaring that it is the policy of
the United States to use both gold
and silver as money metals, and to
preserve the parity. The program of
the committee, as far as it contem
plates the setting aside of the national
bank bill, can only be carried out
through the aid of the majority in the
senate, for the national bank bill can
not be withdrawn or stft aside save
through a majority vote in favor of
the consideration of the repeal bill.
To Coin Gold Bullion.
A special of Monday states that Sec
retary Carlisle has ordered that the
United States mints at Philadelphia
and San Francisco be fully manned
and the full capacity of both mints be
utilized in the coinage of gold bullion.
The treasury department possesses
from forty-five to ninety millions of
gold bullion, which is a part of the
gold reserve of $100,000,000. Gold
bars cannot be used as currency, so
it has been decided in the present
need to coin the bullion on hand.
This bullion will be coined int j $lO,
$5 and $2.50 gold pieces, preference
being given to the first two denomi
nations. The coining capacity of the
Philadelphia mint, it is stated, will be
between $5,000,000 and $6,000,000 a
month. The San Francisco mint will
also be utilized, but unfortunately
nearly all the bullion possessed by
the government is in the east. There
is $20,000,000 of gold bullion in the
Philadelphia mint $15,000,000
of it being in one vault, where it has
remained untouched for fifteen years.
Acting Director Preston visited Phila
delphia Saturday aid completed ar
rangements with Superintendent Bos
bysbell to begin work at once. The
treasury is now paying out gold coin
all over the country, and as a conse
quence stands more in need of gold
coin than heretofore.
BUSINESS IMPROVES.
Run & Co.’s Report of Trade for the
Past Week.
R. G. Dun & Co.’s weakly review of
trade says: The improvement ob
served last week has become much
more distinct and general. While ac
tual transactions have increased but
little, the chang6 of public feeling is
noteworthy. There are fewer failures
either of bankers or of important com
mercial or manufacturing concerns,
than for some weeks past. Many dis
asters have been avoided by a more
general pooling of resources and a
greater spirit of mutual helpfulness
and forbearance than were some weeks
ago. One large stock failure for sev
eral million dollars was thus prevent
ed in Wall street on Thursday, and
tho market for securities, though at
times depressed, by the closing of
heavy loans, has been extremely dull
without material decline.
Money on call t is more abundant
and lower, as many interior loans
have been paid since the banks ceased
to send currency away, and advanced
the rates for renewing or extending
such loans,but there is little relief as
respects mercantile accommodations,
as the use of the check in the place of
currency increases, and the secretary
of the treasury in answer to an inquiry,
has stated that no legal objection
exists to the use of sight drafts on
New York for small sums.
The difficulty of collections and the
interruption of exchanges are nearly as
serious as ever. The number of in
dustrial establishments resuming busi
ness begins to compare fairly with the
number stopping work. A little bet
ter demand appeal s lor some piodacts,
such as wire nails and barbed wire, of
which important producers have been
idle for nearly two months. But in
general the consumption has so far de
creased that tho southern furnaces are
offering pig ircyi at very low figures
here, and standard makers in Penn
sylvania are contemplating a re
duction in prices. Though currency
is at a premium of 1 to 2 per cent,
the demand is less than a week
ago. Receipts of gold from Europe
during the past week have been
$6,700,000, but the Bank of England
has raised its rate to 5 per cent.,
which is expected to stop further
shipments of gold to this country and
the Rank of France has lost during the
past week about $1,600,000. The ab
sorption of money has not yet ceased,
and credit substitutes are in use as yet
poorly supply its place.
The failures for the past week num
ber 410 in the United States and
twenty in Canada. Of the commer
cial failures in the United States 149
were in eastern states, sixty-five in
southern and 180 in western.
A CUT IN WAGES.
Employes of the Mobile and Ohio Rail
road Will Get Less Money.
A Mobile, Ala., dispatch of Friday
says: J. C. Clark, president of the
Mobile and Ohio Railroad company,
and General Superintendent McLaren
and committees representing the or
ders of conductors, engineers, fire
men, trainmen and switchmen, held a
conference regarding a reduction in
\?%ges. The men refused to accept a
reductiou of 7$ petf cent without the
stipulated sixty days’ notice.
The company made a counter prop
osition to accept a reduction of 10 per
cent for several months, and at the ex
piration of that time, if the financial
condition of the road was unchanged,
tho reduction should continue. This
was refused. President Clark then
told the men that the scale of reduc
tion submitted to them was impera
tive.
RESUMED BUSINESS.
The Josiah Morris Ranking Company
Once More on Deck.
Two weeks ago the famous banking
house of Josiah Morris & Cos., of
Montgomery, Ala., made an assign
ment. Two immense meetings of cred
itors were at once held, expressing
unlimited confidence in the bank man
agers. Asa result, a committee was
appointed to secure consent of deposit
ors that assignees surrender the trust
and that the bank be reopened. The
liabilities were $1,600,000; assets,
about $3,600,000. Every depositor
interested in the large line of liabili
ties has signed the agreement by which
time is given to the bank to pay up its
indebtedness and the assignees have
turned the bank, assets, etc., over to
the firm, and the bank door was re
opened Monday morning and business
resumed.
THE SITUATION IN BRUNSWICK
Latest Advices State that There is Now
no Fever in the City.
It was officially bulletined by the
Brunswick, Ga., health board. FruJ*y
that there is now not a case of yellow
fever in Brunswick and not a suspic
ious case. The Cox infant is six miles
in the country and the doctors are idle
for want of patients. Very little sick
ness of any kind exists, and the phy
sicians are unanimous in the assertion
that the majority of the people left in
the city are in a remarkably healthy
condition. The outlook is hopeful
and cheering.
UNCLE SAM TO THE RESCUE.
A Washington special of Friday
says: The government is going to
take care of the Brunswick sufferers.
There is a quarantine fund of several
hundred thousand dollars provided for
just such emergencies. Through the
influence of Judge Turner that has
been placed at the disposal of Surgeon
General Wyman to be used for tho re
lief of the people of Brunswick.
Judge Turner had a dispatch from
Brnnswick that SI,OOO a day would be
necessary. That much will be pro
vided by the government if found ne
cessary, and there will be no one in
Brunswick who will want for food
while there or for transportation to
leave.
GROWTH OF THE SOUTH.
The Industrial Situation for the Past
Week.
The review of the industrial situation in the
South for tbe past week shows that there is no
material change in industrial and financial con
ditions. The failures reported for the week are
less in number and importance than for the
week preceding; several of the banks which had
suspended busiuess have resumed payments,
and others give notice of an early intention go
to do, and in merchantile business a slight im
provement is noted, especially in the hardware
trade.
Crop reports, from all parts of the South,
are generally favorable. Cotton is coming in
to market, but not to a large extent. The
price is too low to tempt farmers who are not
obliged to sell, and this class is larger at pres
ent than in any former season.
Thero are no reports of the establishment of
new industries of special importance. Twenty
three new industries were established or incor
porated during the week, together with four
enlargements of manufactories, and nine im
portantnew buildings.
Business generally throughout the South is
being conducted on a conservative basis, and is
considerably restricted. Credits are carefully
scrutinized, aud while the volume of business
is small there is a prevai ing belief that the
worst is over, and that improvement may bo
expected henceforward.-’tradesman (Chatta
nooga,Term. )
cnariesion's First Dispensary.
The first dispensary for the disposal
of the Palmetto jag was opened in
Charleston, S. C., Tuesday. From io
o’clock in the morning till 7p. m.,
the legal hours of closing, fifty-five
citizens were supplied with toddy
bearing the state’s official trade mark.
There was quite a crowd of people at
the opening of the state’B barroom.
Banks Resume Business.
The Farmer’s Exchange National
bank at San Bernardino,Cal., re-open
ed its doors for business Friday.
Tho Bank of River Falls, Wis.,
