The Late Hurricane in Harris County.
FII.I.EU PARTICULARS.
Below wo giro a very interesting ac
count of the hurricane in Harris
eounty on Saturday last by an eye
witness, which is fuller and more mi
nute in detail than our accounts of
yesterday: '
Mountain Hii.l, May 3, 1875.
Mr. Editor: Saturday, the Ist day
of May, was a threatening and angry
looking day. Viewing the heavens
in all directions (from my point of
vlexy) the elements seemed to bo in
I perfect confusion; clouds and winds
j waring with each other for the mas
tery. They were flying, crossing and
coming into collision, producing a
grand but fearful aspect. In the af
ternoon, between three nml four
o’clock, they seemed to have united
j their forces to battle with fences, for
rests, houses and man sweeping ev
erything in its course, and being as
I destructive as any cyeloae which lias
passed through tho country.
I visited the track of tho storm on
j Sunday, and noted down its destruc
tive effects, from observation and
i from reliable witnesses, from west to
! east, over the track of the storm for
twelve or fifteen miles.
From the best information, the first
point of destruction heard from was
six miles from Berlin, whore it struck
tho settlement of Dick Chamber's,
destroying all of his houses except
one small kitchen, together with tim
ber and fences. Crossing the river
one mile above Halo's ferry, it struck
William Smith’s place, tearing down
two outhouses and unroofing* two
others, with great, destruction to the
plantation generally. Front this
point it passed on to the plantation
of Judge James Patillo, destroying a
j settlement of houses occupied by ton
nants. From there to Penial Col
lins’, where it seemed to concentrate
its forces, to the destruction of every
thing in tho form of a house, tree or
fence, save two houses —one on either
side oT its track. This was the point
of my observation, and language fails
me in describing tho wreck here. It
is beyond description. Mr. Collins’
family were saved by getting into tho
cellar, which they occupied as a din
ing-room. There woro portions of
two rooms of the dwelling left stand
ing, but they were badly wrecked.
Nearly every article of furniture, bed
ding, clothing, pocket-book, notes,
deeds, &c., were torn to pieces, blown
away, or scattered among the debris.
Avery large barn, with stable under
neath, cabins, gin-house, screw; in
fact, every house was either blown
: away or piled up in a mass of ruins,
together with pieces of furniture,
clothing, limits of trees, &e., &c.
Standing a few steps back of his
house in the direction of tho coining
storm stood a house, occupied by the
Widow Dunn, her daughter and son.
Everything that she had was swept
away- provisions, bedding, clothing,
save a few articles picked up among
trees arid idles of wrecked lumber.
.She is a worthy Christian lady in fee
ble health from age. She greatly
needs assistance. Fortunately for her
.and her daughter, they were from
home, having attended church on
that day and stopping at ’Squire
Whitten’s.
Mr. John Cochran, son-in-law to
Mr. Collins, whose house was some
150 yards from his father-in-law’s,
had his store house biown to pieces,
and the goods blown away, witli his
books, bills, &c. Out of his stock ho
has saved in damaged goods from $25
to S4O worth. Many of these goods
he was owing for. On tills place—the
Collins place onions were blown up
by the roots, also Irish potatoes and
wheat; onions not blown up had their
tops wrung off. T saw not a single
one but what was in this condition.
Wheat was beheaded, leaving the
stems so whipped and trailed that it
had turned to a yellowish color; some
looked as if a flood of water had
swept over it. Twenty-five hundred
panels of outside fencing was put up
on Sabbath by forty-eight hands,
headed by Hon. Flynn Hargett, and
’Squires Whitten and Dennis, and
others. There were 100 or 200 persons
thereon Sabbath men, women and
children rendering all the assistance
possible.
At, Mr. Collins’ a negro woman was
killed. Seeing the storm coming she
fled from her cabin to reach the
dwelling of Mr. Collins ; getting
about half way, near the horse lot,
she was struck down by timber, or a
rock weighing about four pounds,
crushing the cranium so that the
brain ran out. A negro man had his
fore-arm broken; another received a
gash on the head. Two other per
sons were slightly injured. Trees
were completely stripped of leaves
as they fell; those not blown down
by the roots wore blown off at vari
ous heights. It would take a quire
of foolscap to give the particulars on
this place. One hundred men could
not in two weeks produce such de
struction ; it is beyond human power.
Divine Power is as clearly seen here
as the sun at noonday. The estima
ted damage on this place is $2,000.
From this point it struck the Widow
Billingslea’s plantation, destroying
fences and a great deal of flne t imber.
On to Ransom Little’s, destroying
negro houses, gin house, carriage
house, carriage, &c.
Next on to John Burton’s, blowing
his dining room from the dwelling,
but not tearing it to pieces; destroy
ing negro cabins and wounding three
negroes; one died at night, another
will (tie, another having two limbs
broken and head cut.
Thence to Thomas Spivey's, blow
ing his carriage house down, and un
roofing his son's (Reuben Spivey’s}
* house.
j Nest to Captain Moss’, two miles
i below Whitesville, on the Columbus
road. Here tho storm seemed to
double its force, not leaving a house
except two ordinary buildings on
tho outskirts, one on either side of its
track. Mr. Moss’ family was saved
by being in tho collar. This was a
fine settlement of houses, with every
thing arranged for convenience und
happiness, but all was swept away.
Mr. Moss saved about 3,000 pounds of
bacon and about 25 bushels of corn.
He lmd throe lino mules and one
horse killed. Mr. George Watson,
living on the opposite side of tho
road in a very nice and comfortable
dwelling, had everything swept from
him and his entire family wounded.
It is thought two of them will die.
To give you an idea of the destruc
tion on Mr. Moss’ place without ex
tending tliis article by noting partic
ulars, the estimated loss is from
SIO,OOO to $15,000. From there to Mr.
John Booker's it made a clean sweep
of all in its way. It left not a house
on Mr. Booker’s place. William Bi
num was seriously, if not fatally,
wounded. Fortunately Mr. Booker
and family were from home, and con
sequently their lives saved, but their
property was swept away. Then on
to Mr. Cal. Davis’ place, still dealing
out destruction, and so seriously in
juring him that it is not thought he
will live. From theuco to Beach
Spring Church, tearing it to pieces.
Next it struck Judge Speueo’s place,
unrooting his dwelling, killing three
negroes, wounding a number of otii
ors, and doing other damage. On it
speeds, wrecking all in its way, strik
ing Mr. Pinckney Hurrah’s mill on
Mountain Creek, and blowing it down.
There are numbers of incidents, ap
palling and otherwise, which could
!>■ noted if time would permit. I
l would state that I received it from
a reliable witness that Mr. Moss said
notwithstanding his great loss he was
the happiest man in Harris count y.
Ho said men could build houses,
money would buy mules and horses,
but could not buy families; lienee,as
bis family were all unharmed lie was
happy. This is talking not only like
a sensible man blit like a Christian.
