Wreckage amoflg

Pensacola, Fla., October 9.
the tropical hurricane that had
been central in the gulf for sever
al days struck this city Sunday
night. The wind blew from the
northeast and was accompanied by
rain. The hurricane increased in
fury as morning approached and
all day yesterday it raged with ter
rible furj’.
Falling signs and roofs made it
dangerous to appear in the streets
and business was practically sus
pended. The average velocity of
•the wind from 7 o’clock a in. to
7 o,clock p. m. was forty-eight
miles per hour.
Between 2 and 8 o’clock p. m.
it blew steadily at the rate of six
ty eight miles an hour and several
times between 11 o’clock a. m.
and 4 o’clock p. m. it reached a
velocity of eighty-five miles. At
-2 o’clock p. m. the barometer fell
to 29.28, the lowest ever recorded
at this station, being 19 lower than
duirng the great storm of last
October. *
The center of the hurricane was
not a great distance southeast of
this city, but every telegraph wire
leading from the city went down
before 11 o’clock a. m. and nothing
could be heard from other points.
Owing to the wind blowing off
shore and the warning given by
the weather bureau, the damage to
shipping was small.
The British bark Scammell
Brothers, newly loaded with tim
ber, dragged her anchors over four
miles across the bay and weht
ashore in seventeen feet of water
at a point opposite the life-saving
station. She will have to discharge
part of her cargo.
The Swedish bark Antoinette,
not loaded, dragged her anchors
half way down the bay. and was
saved from capsizing by cutting
away Fer foremast.
The little schooner, Two Sons,
of New Orleans, had her masts I
cut away to keep from capsizing. I
The fishing smack, Mary Potter,
dragged her anchors from Town
Point and went ashore on Santa
Rosa Island, East of the life sav
ing station, where she lies high a id
dry.
The tide rose over the quaran
tine station and damaged the crib.
The tide was so high that it broke
clear over Santa Rosa island* and
the life-saving crew were in water
up to their waists. One house was
blown down at the station, the
wharf was swept away and the
supply sloop swamped and sunk.
The track of the dummy line,
from Big Bayou to the navy yard,
is twisted all out of shape, and in
some places is buried two feet un
der sand.
The city is much damaged.
F'ences, trees and small outhouses
were blown in every part of the
city. A part of the roof was toin
off the opera house.
The entire roof was torn off the
large Blount & Watson building,
on Pacific street, and all the stores
and offices in it were flooded with
water.
So far as learned no one was
injured, Thestorin ceased at mid
night and the weather is bright
and much cooler today.
From Jacksonville comes the
report that the West Coast of
Florida has suffered severely from
the storms fury.
At Savannah the storm raged
furiously, its greatest velocity Ge
nie 72 mileh ah hour at Tybee. But
little damage is reported .
At Mobile several vessels were
driven ashore by the huricane and
much damage to property has be n
suffered . No lives reported lost.

New York, Oct. 10. Some inter
esting news ot the political situ
ation in Columbia was obtained
from a passenger of the steamer
Adirondack, which arrived thib
morning from Port Limon and
Kingston. It seems that immedi
ately after the death ot President
Raphael Nunez, on September 18lh
of last’ the leaders ot the two po
litical factious of Columbia began
preparations tor placing their par
ly at the head of the govermeut.
Each move towards this euu
made by one parly was followed
by immediate and more aggressive
action on tbepart of the other so
that at the present moment there
are eaid to be two well- quipped
a.id well-disciplined armies read}
at the slightest provocation,
pounce upon each other and de
cide by force ot arms the future
nead of goverment in the state ot
Columbia.
It is also paid that s he drafting
of men, both foreign and native,
to ihese different military compan
ies, has caused such x dearth ol
skilled laborers, as a matter ot
fact, of all laboring met , ‘.hat the
different rail-road companies are
offering fabulous salaries to engi
