A Savannah special says i Almost on the anniversary of 1881, Savannah wan 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 climax between IX and 12 o’clock honrsina Sunday night, having blown for eight 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, Floriila 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. ihe strums Were impassable from the defan*. Fallen trees, twisted roofs, masses of brick, fences and broken limbs and branches of trees, were piled across the sidewalks and in the squares, and broken wires hung in every direction. It is impossible at present to estimate the damage, ns 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. the Nearly everyone, if not quite all property owners in the city, have been damaged to some extent, and some to tho 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 ics of drowned persons were picked up during the morning, and searches are now being made for others who arc d If y 0 ,f° a “ a! ‘“ e H mS *'*" ‘a rcsuH ‘ " 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 haa b,-^- heard from them, that tlicir 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 earned 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 tho people sought shelter wherever they could. The wires arc 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 tho doc tors’house, and how this weathered the fearful gale is miraculous; the wharves mme, the new fund gating plant which has cost the city much money is in the bottom of the sea, and nine vessel, which were waiting there for release to come to the city are high and drv in the marsh, and no doubt will be total wrecks. The Cosniue was the only vessel which managed to keep afloat. FOURTEEN DROWNED. TO. tngP.nI.ei.mind i»th. .it, She •to o’clock Monday afternoon. mght up about sixty passengers cm I vW. Mr. Rever.-, 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. i 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 aouse is gone. Mr. Starr’s house was washed into the woods. The Rancho and Rambler clubhouses were 1 wrecked. The railroad track iB clean ed out. Henry Green’s house was burned. George Bossell’s cottage end was swept out to sea. The north was practically cleaned out. The water swept with tremendous force over this part of the island, railroad tracks he 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 notbctold and the lo* of Hie is uu ’The'citizens awoke Monday morn ing and of gazed upon innumerable evi deuces the hurricane which swept over the city Sunday afternoon and night.

The largest vessels, no lest than the smallest craft* sought protection from tho the angry tempest. in By 1 o’clock storm burst all its fury. Several oasualities " serious to persons and much i» reported, but a complete ^2l'Lpecthm ; nTan torv can onls- oftheTrritory be made after a e* ; tending from the Ten Mile house to tho Battery. Every wire in the city was prostrated; thousands of trees wote denuded of their foliage and limbs blown entirely down. A hnn dred houses were unroofed and a num her of frame buildings wrecked. The Charleston lead works were seriously damaged, and the Charleston'neck property in the neighborhood of was ; injured to the extent of 81,000,000. Ks timates in the city are impossible. Half of the streets are impassable on account of fallen trees, telegraph pole* . an d timbers. Serious fours are enter tained for the inhabitants of Sullivan's island and the coast.

Men and women were badly frightened and filled with dread and fear of the re suits. 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 alami and telephone wires were broken down, and hanging signs were blown away. All telegraphiccomninnication wag shut off except to Atlanta. Crops were badly damaged in the surround- down ing country. Corn was blown and cotton whipped out. There was no loss of life.

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 (month of Ht.

Seventeenth Day.-F riday was tin, second day of the debate under the five mimites-rule in the house. Noth ing sensational transpired. Aside from the speeches delivered by Mr. Burrows a „d Mr. Springers there was none that commanded the attentiun of the members; and, indeed, these two speeches were not listened to with the interest they deserved. They day was a day of calm—a precursor of the storm to be precipitated Saturday. A large number of members addressed the house, but for the greater part they wasted their eloquence on empty benches. The silver debate was bo gun promptly by Mr. Pendleton, dem oerat, of Texas, who expressed his in tention to vote for the free coinage of 8 ilver at any ratio that had been sug gested, but at the same time he held the purchasing clause of the act responsible for the pros e nt hard times. Others who spoke were Mr. Bowers, repuh K( „ dt(! in W of repeal; M, Dockery, democrat,of Missouri,for free comagi , Mr. Cobb, democrat, ol Alabama, for free coinage; Mr Marsh republican of Illinois, Mi.

The Mr. first Wilson thirty minutes Mr. Clarke, was democrat, by to of Alabama. He believed it tho duty of congress to fix the ratio between silver anil gold at 16 to 1, Ho was followed by Tom lteed, of Maine, the giant of the republican party. Mr. Reed wns never in better trim, and lifts never ; delivered a speech to equal this one. He demonstrated a broadness of views I and it generosity of interest which has seldom been heard from hftn. After Mr. Reed came Mr. Deurmond, of Missouri, in favor of unoondition a l repeal, and then Mr. Williams, of Illinois, who opposed repeal. Then canie Private John Allen, of Missis sippi, who delivered one of the most humorous speeches of bis life, He argued for fres coinage, Mr, Cockfan, the Tammany orator, tb en took tbo fi oor an( j made the gl . patpst speech of his life and by lias odds tbe strongest argument which yet been made iu mthcr house of congress j a favor of the Unconditional repeal of tho 8hcrmau iaw Ml , Bland fol lowed Mr. Cockrau. Several otli pr W j ef speeches were delivered, ft ft er Mr. Bland's, aiid thou the debate was closed in a strong twenty minutes’ speech by Mr. Wil son, of West Virginia, the author of tbl . rel „ !ttl biU .
