V<)l„ m. 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 silver. On this vote the silver men showed their greatest strength. Tho wte in the delegations of the southern on the adoption of the Bland ■Blison law amendment stood: States. Yeas. Nays. Alabama, 8 I Arkansas 5 1 Delaware 1 Florida 2 Georgia 8 2 Kentucky.... 6 5 Louisiana 4 2 Maryland 6 Mississippi 6 1 Missouri 12 1 North Carolina 8 1 South Carolina 5 1 Tennessee 6 .4 Texas 11 2 Virginia 9 1 West Virginia 2 2 Total 90 37 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., which suspended a week ago, resumed business Friday. ATLANTA MARKETS. CORRECTED WEEKLY. Groceries.
