SWEPT BY STORM.

Savannah, Ga., Au?. Thin city presents a .scene of desolation. Death and disaster have marked the path of the terrible cyclone which raffed alonff the coast Sunday night. The ruin at quarantine is immeasurable. Nothing is standing where one of the finest stations on the South Atlantic was twenty - four hours ago except the doctor's house, and how this weathered the fearful gale is miraculous. The wharves are gone, the new fumigating plant which has cost the city so much money is in the bottom of the sea, and nine vessels which were waiting there for release to come to the city are high and dry in the marsh and no doubt will be total wrecks. The Cosmnc was the only vessel which managed to keep

alloat.

IN NORTH CAROLINA. Raleigh. N. C., Aug. 30.—The town of Kernsville was struck by a terrific windstorm Monday. One hundred houses were blown down and four persons killed. IN SOUTH CAROLINA. Columbia, S. C„ Aug. air.—All the South Atlantic coast as far as can be ascertained from this wrecked point, with much of the interior, has been swept by the West India hurricane which has been playing such havoc for several days. The wires are down everywhere, buried beneath ruins, and information is meager. The fury of the hurricane is unexampled in Interior Carolina. WORST IN MANY YEARS. An old citizen remarked: “No storm ever visited the state to be compared with this since the storm in September, 1328, sixty-seven years ago. The only time, too, that we have ever had a rainfall to approach this in severity was in March, 1841, when it rained steadily for sixty-three hours. That was the time when Augusta was washed away and many people were drowned.” FLORIDA SUFFERS. Jacksonville, Fla., Aug 29.—This city has been out off from communication with the outside world since 3 o’clock Sunday morning. In this city the velocity of the wind was 88 miles per hour. Hundreds of trees were blown down and signs disapeared before the gale. Scores of dwellings and public buildings were entirely or partly unroofed, causing great damage from the rain, which fell in torrents. DOWN IN TEXAS. Fort Worth, Tex., Aug 29.—A local cyclonic storm Sunday b.ew down a email church on Stratton’s ranch, 4 miles from Cleburne, and wounded twenty-one persons, broken limbs being the most serious injuries. later news. Augusta, Ga., Aug. 30.—A special to the Chronicle from Port Royal, S. C,, brings the startling information that fully 100 lives have been lost at Port Royal, at Beaufort aud neighboring points by drowning during the storm. Over twenty-five were seen by the correspondent, and his information regarding the others was received from reliable sources. Of the 100 persons killed and drowned only six were white, theothers being negroes. 1,088 ENORMOUS. Savannah, Ga., Aug. 80.—The list of fatalities as the result of Sunday’s storm is rapidly increasirig. The City of Savannah, which sailed from Boston Thursday, is fifty hours overdue, and no tidings from it whatever have been received. The Savannah is one of the oldest boats on the line, and those who know of its condition said that if it did not come in on the coming tide it would not come at all. So far its signal whistle lias not been heard, and it is given up as disabled or lost. Fifteen people are known to have been drowned during the storm and more are missing. It is difficult to give an estimate of the damage done by the storm. To buildings, ? 100,000 would cover the injury done: vessels wrecked, fijO.OOO; damage to railroads leading out of the city, $100,000; damage to the rice crop, $200,000. Interior tributary to Savannah damage will probably amount to $1,000,000 or more, as the cotton crop over a wide territory has suffered severely, and in many turpentine districts at least one-fourth of the trees are destroyed. IN NEW YORK. New York, Aug. 30.—The violent storm which swept over the city and the surrounding conn try from midnight till 8 o’clock Tuesday morning had its origin in a cyclone that arose in the West Indies and then swept along the Atlantic coast in a northeasterly direction. It swept over Florida on Sunday, had its storm center well inland, and reached out in every direetioa for a distance of more than 1,500 miles. The tide was higher than any since 1878, and hundreds of acres of corn and tomatoes have been ruined. At Salem, N ' , all the fruit remaining on the trees from the last blow is off, and the outlook for the farmers is a dark one. The corn crop is ruined. IN CONNECTICUT. New Haven, Conn., Aug. 30.—Heavy damage to property was done here by the storm Tuesday morning. It is estimated that 100 or more shade trees wentdown in the gale,and chimneys and roofs were blown off in profusion. The side walls of Proctor’s opera house were toppled over and the roof of 8t. Paul's church was badly damaged. It is impossible to accurately estimate the damage at present, though it must amount to over $1,000,000 in New Haven county, including the devastation of the oyster beds and fruit crops. Dry (loorl* llnriH’cf* Mount Vernon, Ir.d., Aug. 27.—The Robcutuum dry goods and clothing •tore in this city was destroyed by lire yesterday, the loss being $150,000.

snirs go down. Asbury Park, N. J., Aug. 25.—The two-masted fishing schooner Mary P. Kelly of New York was wrecked here at 5 o’clock Thursday morning. Four men perished and seven were only rescued by summer guests after most thrilling experiences. The men lost were: Christopher Bratton, of Brooklyn, captain; Charles Brown, of Green Point, first mate. Walter , the steward; Harry Broden, a Norwegian fisherman. bodies washed ashore. Southampton, L I., Aug. 25.—About 9 o'clock Thursday morning two vessels—a coal barge and a towing vessel — were wrecked off the coast at this point. Up to the present writing six men from the wrecked vessels have been washed ashore out of a total crew of twenty-one on both vessels. Three of the six were beyond resuscitation. The fifteen other men of the crew are believed to have been drowned, thus making the total loss of life eighteen persons. The name of the barge is Lykens Valley of Philadelphia, Capt. Scott The steamer was the Panther. TWO VESSELS LOST. New York, Aug. 25.—The fishing schooners Empire State, with a crew of ten men, and Ella M. Johnson, with a crew of eight men, went down Wednesday night off Manasquun, on the Jersey coast, and all on board were lost These two vessels were in company with the Chocrua at midnight when the storm struck them, and after beating around all night in some of the worst weather ever known off the coast and with a loss of the captain and her first mate the Chocrua tied up Thursday at 4:30 o’clock, the only survivor of the

three.

HEAVY RAINFALL. The storm left its mark over the whole region around New York within a sweep of fully 1,000 miles. The rainfall, measuring 8.82 inches during the last twelve hours, is the heaviest that has ever been recorded by the local signal service. All along the sound shore, from Indian harbor at (ireenwitch to Port Morris, the devastation of the storm was apparent in the destroyed piers, the flooded meadow lands and the shore houses, whose first floors were in most instances on a level with the

water.

ON LONG ISLAND. The storm on Long Island was very severe and caused a great deal of damage from Brooklyn to the eastern end of the island. Thousands of trees fell before the fury of the gale; outhouses and small buildings were destroyed and fences were leveled in all directions. Crops in many sections of the island are ruined. New York, Aug. 28.—Stories of death and damage by the nurricane came rapidly in from the sea Friday, and still there is more to tell. The known dead at midnight reached a total of fortyone. The missing, some of whom may oe saved, are fifty-eight more. The remnants of the fleet of fishing smacks came up the river battered and torn, and those that had any rigging left flew their flags at half-mast for their dead comrades. TWENTY-FIVE DROWNED. Halifax, N. C., Aug. 25. — Fully twenty-five persons perished in the | wreck jff f’j ' si. an . r Dorcas auu f ':.- barge Etta Stewart. The remains of ' twenty have been recovered. Miss Sadie Musgrave, M. McCastill, Norman McCrury, John F. Sharp and a child of the steamer's engineer are yet unaccounted for. Heath of u Noted Inventor. Orange, N. J., Aug. 29.—Hayward A. Harvey, the great inventor, died at his home in this city yesterday morning in the 70th year of his age. Mr. Harvey invented the gimlet point screw and was continually making improvements and inventions in the construction of machinery for screws, bolts, washers, springs, nails, etc. He made his first . invention in the line of hardening armor plate steel in 1888. This Harveyized armor has since become known the world over and has revolutionized . the navies and coast defenses of the

thirty-nine for public buildings and twenty-four for the advancement of : commerce and American trade. Washington, Aug. 26.—In the senate i yesterday Senator Hill (dem., N. Y.) made the principal speech on the silver question. Among other things he accused the president of being a gold monometullist and said that in his recent message he overdrew the picture of financial distress in the interest of the creditor classes. Mr. Hill announced himself to be a bimetallist and urged the repeal of the Sherman law because it stands in the way of bimetallism. At the close of Senator Hill’s address Senator Stewart (rep., Nev.) spoke in favor of silver. Washington, Aug. 29.—In the senate yesterday the bill to increase the national bank circulation was discussed and a bill was reported for the repeal of the federal election law. It was decided by a vote of 32 to 29 that Mr. Mantle, of Montana, and Mr. Allen, of Washington, are not entitled to seats and that a governor of a state has not the right to appoint a senator to fill vacancies. Washington, Aug. 80.—Mr. Voorhees. chairman of the finance committee in the senate, reported back yesterday the house bill repealing part of the Sherman act with an amendment in the nature of a substitute. The difference between the house bill and the Voorhees bill is found in the attachment to the latter of a paragraph declaring that it is the policy of the United States to use both gold and silver as money metals and to preserve parity. No action was taken. Senator Dolph (Ore.) introduced a bill (which was referred to the committee on foreign relation.*) appropriating $500,000 to enable the secretary of the treasury to enforce the Chinese exclusion act. THE HOUSE. Washington, Aug. 25.—In the house yesterday the time was occupied by many members in five minute speeches for and against the silver bill. Washington, Aug. 26.—In the house yesterday Mr. Pendleton (dem., Tex.) and Mr. Bowers (rep.. Cal.) spoke in favor of free coinage, and Mr. Dockery (dem.. Mo.) spoke in favor of bimetallism. Mr. Moon (rqp., Mich.) spoke for bimetallism, and Mr. Cobb (dem., Ala.) opposed unconditional repeal. Mr. Burrows (Mich.) made the principal speech on the republican side in favor of repeal. Washington, Aug. 27.—The feature of the silver debate in the house yesterday was the speech of Thomas B. Reed (rep., Me.) ex-speaker of the house, and that of Bourke Cockran (dem., N. Y.) in favor of repeal of the Sherman silver law. The debate was closed by Mr. Wilson( W. Va.). Washington, Aug. 29. The house yesterday voted on the Wilson bill to repeal the purchasing clause of the Sherman law and the various amendments. The result of the voting shows a solid majority of 100 in the house against silver, the majorities ranging from 77 against the revival of the Bland-Allison act up to 129 in favor of unconditional repeal. Following is the vote on the various propositions:

Jesse Df.ni.ingeb, one of the victims burned by the natural gas explosion at Morristown, near Shelbyville, died. Dr. L. E. Russell, of Springfield, o., who was called to Muncie to diagnose several of the alleged cases of smallpox, went to the home of Mr. Murray, where five cases had existed, all of which had been pronounced smallpox. After a thorough examination he unhesitatingly said that neither of the persons had smallpox. After going through the entire infected district ho found but two cases of smallpox, the others being victims of chickenpox. Charles Warren and John Hampton, near Crawfoidsville, have sued the Monon for a quantity of hay and fences burned up. Warren wants $250 and Hampton $500. The state board of tax . unmissioners, the other day, completed the assessment of the railroad property of the state. Although some new property was added to the list, the valuation this year falls about three-quarters of a million dollars short of a year ago, when the valuation in round numbers was fixed at one hundred and sixty-one millions. The preliminar}’ hearing in the case of Emmanuel Rothchild, at Bedford, suspected of arson in burning his store for the insurance, came up before 'Squire Younger. He was bound over to await action of the grand jury, and bond fixed at $1,000, which was promptly furnished. Immense fires in the woods, a few miles north of Laporte, destroyed a barn belonging to F. E. Miller, aud other property. The Big Four has been sued for $10,000 for the killing of John Lennon at the depot wreck, Lafayette. Lightning struck and set fire to a large barn of Wm. Hicks, at Valparaiso, burning five horses, two cows, farm implements and his entire hay and wheat crop. Loss about $3,500. Insured in the Ohio Farmers’. Ex-Gov. Chase and others addressed 1,500 old settlers at their annual meeting at Liberty, Jefferson county. The board of state tax commissioners the other day fixed the assessment of the express, telegraph, telephone and sleeping-car companies, by which about $7,000,000 is added to the tax duplicate. Exclusive of real estate structures, machinery, fixtures and appliances sul>joct to local taxation within the state, a recapitulation of aggregates shows: Express companies, $1,225,890.75; telegraph aud telephone companies, $2,976,925.25; sleeping car companies, $4,* 761,215. This is the first assessment since the supplementary tax law passed by the last legislature. The bill passed the senate on the last day of the session, the governor waiving his right to two days for inspection. Herein lies a technical ground for a question of legality, which the companies will take advantage of in contesting payment. Wm. Foster, a brick mason, was run over and terribly mangled on the L., E. A- St. L. railway in i’rinceton early the other morning. Tiif.ke was a destructive fire at Birdseye, fifteen miles from Huntington, the other night. Thirty-eight buildings were burned, including all the business houses, and seventeen families made homeless. Total loss. $60,000; insurance, $25,000. Brnj.

San Francisco, Aug. so.—The People’s Home savings bank, which closed its doors June 13, opened for business at 9 a. m. The bank has deposits of $2,000,000, and in order to avoid a run will pay out only 2 per cent of amounts

THE GRAIN CROPS.

Estimate of the Yield. In Varlou* Countries Throughout the World. Buda Pesth, Aug. 28.—The annual report of the Hungarian minister of agriculture has appeared. Its estimate of the world’s production of wheat this year is 2,279,000,000 bushels, against the oftieial average of 2,280,000,000 annually for the last ten years. The report says the deficits to be filled by the importing countries will require 870.000,000 bushels. The surplus available in exporting countries to satisfy this demand is 878,664,000 bushels. The world’s product of rye is given as 485,000,000 hectoliters. The yield of wheat in North America is estimated as 382,000,000 bushels; the yield of rye as 24,388,000 bushels, and the yield of maize as 1,809,000 bushels. The reports say also as much rye, oats and barley will be needed to take the place of fodder destroyed by the drought, the consumption of wheat and rye is likely to be unusually large. High prices, therefore, are likely to rule when the American shipments to Europe cease.
