An j Works Great Damage to Prop erty. 85 MILES AN HOUR Savannah and Mob'le each Set a taste of the same and each suffer. Great Wreckage amoflg the Shipping. 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. RED BLOOD NLBYFLOW Each sides ready to vote or fight or both.

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 neers, firemen and train handi who will take ttie p'aces of the men who have been forced inti service by the contending factious S.
