SiVANNAH, Oct. 1.—The West Indian cyclone which swept over this city late Tuesday was hardly if ever equalled in iutensity within the memory of those bow living. The exact velocity of the waul will never be known, the instrument at the weather bureau registering <S8 miles a* hour and then went to yieces. Tin roofs were the special playthings of the wind, and they were rolled up everywhere as if of tissue paper, aud with the nicety observed by the tinner in economizing space. There must have been 1,000 tons of tin rolled off roofs in Savannah Tuesday. Bricks aud wires (ell everywhere aud hundreds of roofs were totally demolished. Shuttered trees covered every street and these, with hundreds of fallen wires, made the (treets impassable for hours. The results are the loss of nearly a dozen people aud a financial loss of nearly $1,000,000. Each report that is received is worse than the first. It was thought only one death would lie the reiult of the hurricane, but the number has increased until there are 11 persons reported dead. The following is a list of them: J, Wallace Johnson. W. J.

Lancaster, Pa., Oct. 1.—Late yesterday telegraphic aud telephonic commuuication was established with sur- I rounding counties and later reports j show that ruin rode in the wake of yesterday morning's gale. While estimates are pi rely speculative there is no doubt the damage will reach $1,000,000. Individual loss is small, bnt the aggregate is great. During the two hours of i terror which kept people awake the wind roared through the streets like thunder, houses rocked on their foundations, bricks, stones, slate, tin and sheetiron roofs aud trees were tossed about like toys. The destruction 'Of the Pennsylvania railroad bridge across the Susquehanna at Columbia overshadows all else. The bridge, which comprised 27 spans, was I completely demolished, except the stone piers and a single iron span on the shore. The bridge proper was crushed to splinted. It was lifted bodily from the piars and deposited in the water. All through trains south are being run over Frederick division to Baltimore. No loss of life reported.
The jiarty organized at Bcllefoute and represented the first Pennsylvania county to instruct delegates for McKinley. Major McKinley, after greetings, said iu substance: It gives me very great pleasure to meet and greet at my home my fellow citizens of Centre county. Pa. I like that old state. My ancestors came from it, and t have for you a feeling of kinship. I know your great resources. I know the wealth of your state and its splendid citizenship; aud I am glad to be assured by Pennsylvanians that in this great national contest for public honor, public and private honesty, for the supremacy of law and order, for good government and good politics and good morals, your great state will lead iu the triumphant march
for Republican principles.
Owing to the continued rains the pilgrimage of bicyclists from Ohio and Kentucky to Canton did not start from Cincinnati yesterday.

He Aririrpsftp* Audience* at Several Point*
on HU Koute From New York.
Grafton, W. Va., Oct. 1.—Whvn the Bryan party passed through Washington on its way from New York the candidate was asleep and was not disturbed. The first stop was made at Washington Junction and a few people shook the hand of the candidate. The train was an hour behind the scheduled time when it pulled out of the taranel and Harper's Ferry burst into view. The town made historic by John Brown was gaudily decorated with flags aud bunting. A great banner, beamig the pictures of the Democratic nominees, was suspended over a platform built from the side of a hill, and from which Mr. Bryan spoke to the people gathered
in the natural amphitheater below.
The next stop was at Murtinsburg and from there to Cumberland the rid e was along the Patomac with the Alleghenies towering overhead. Cumberland itself nestles in the valley aud the surrounding scenery is marked by rugged grandeur. A local committee headed by a hand met Mr. Bryan at the station and drove him to a public square a few blocks away where a decorated stand had been erected. An excursion train from > ighboriug towns brought down a large crowd, who, with the natives, gave the candidate a big aud enthusiastic audience. Mr. Bryan made a short address and the party continued its journey arriving here shortly before midnight. Notwithstanding the lateness of the hour a large crowd was waiting at the depot aud Mr. Bryan ad-
dressed them briefly.
