Savannah, G.t., Sept. 1—
Wb''e there v a-no loss <.f lift
from the sior.n which swept
Savannah, the <l. qj‘'gP to proper
ty will foot up close 'to 'hftjf a
million dollars.
The storm began parlv Tues
day night and raged with in
creasing violence until 8 o’clock
yesterday morning. It was at
its highest between 4' and 5
o’clock, when the wind reached
a velocity of eighty miles ftw,

roof was tot n* from half of the
Savannah theatrd and the audi

The First, church is
among the most. heavily dam
aged buildings. The entire wes
tern half of the roof was lifted
from the walls and carried Into
the street below. The handsome
organ was filled with water and
the rich frescoing was ruined.
Si.; John’s Episcopal, the First
, and Independent Pres yteriau
and Lutheran t iiurch of the
Ascension were also damag d?
lu the business part of the
ity dczensj&f Stores were un
rtofed and wipdbxjfe were blpwm
m and the interiors 'flooded.
There was no telegraphic com
munication during the day until
late in the evening, when the
Western Union and Postal cable
lines were in partial working
order. Street car travel is block
ed and last night the city was in
dark ness. The streets are a'net
work of tangled wires.
In the hayhorand at quaran
tine the damage to shipping is
heavy. The British bark Bream
er, from Demarara, was blown
on a jetty during the night and
is heavily damaged. The Indian
i;.: k Maria Raffo broke loose
f-hm her anchorage and drifted
into a marsh where she is lying.
The Norwegian bark Noe broke
loose from her mooring at quar
antine and went ashore on Dau
fiiskie Island at the mouth of the
Savannah river. Iler crew o!
twelve men were rescued by a
tug. ’ 1 ♦ •

■ The steamers Alpha anti

went ashore and are heavily
damaged. The stekthOr Eulalie

Wilmington Island about ten
miles from Savannah and sank
Mrs. J. T. Lucas, wife
owner, was oil” board and was
rescued with diffidi» r i,y by the
captain and a deck hand. She
was taken to the top of the
wheel and thrown ashore and

valuable assistance in saving
ami property. The ctitter Bout
well was in Wilmington river
and is safely anchored.
At Tybee Island the hotels
aAd cottages were heavily dam
aged. The North Carolina troops
passed 1 a terridle night there but
all were brought pafely to the
city today.
All ofjjthe railrubds suffered
severely by washouts and trains
have run with difficulty all day.
The rice and cotton crops have
been heavily damaged. .’t will
be impossible, however, to esti
mate the damage for several
days. The storm covered a com
paratively small territory. It
extended interior not more than
thirty miles and hardly that
distance north and south. It is
believed to have been severe at
s'ea and fears are felt for vessels
off the co ass;
