C ' ) : :;-;": ::Sr:v:;;: mk VOL. IX THE DALLES, OREGON. THURSDAY,- OCTOBER 1, 1896 V" NO 230 STORM-SWEPT STATES Hurricane Raged From the Gulf to the Lakes. GREAT LOSS OF LIFE REPORTED Fifty Peruana Killed In Florida Mill ion Dollar Loss In Saranaah A Gale in Pennsylvania. Memphis. Sept. 30. A Commercial- Appeal special from Jacksonville, Fla., says : . It is a conservative estimate to say that fifty people have lost their lives from yesterday's hurricane, and the number may ran roach higher. News from that portion of the state where the storm first struck is very slow in coming in, for the wires are down and railroads impassable. Wrecking parties which' went oat this morning have not re turned , and it will be tomorrow before the full extent of the damage is known. . The hurricane struck Florida at Cedar Keys, and passed in its path of destruc tion over twenty towns and villages, and reports show that between thirty and forty people have certainly been killed. Cedar Keys is about 100 miles sputh west of Jacksonville. The hurricane, which bad been churning the waters of the Gulf, first struck' that place, a vil lage of 1500 inhabitants. The only re port which has come concerning Cedar Keys' is that the town has been swept 'sway, and many lives have been lost. This report cornea from Gainesville, which is fifty miles away. Nobody has been able to get any reliable news from Keys. v , Northeasterly, the storm struck Wil listown, a small town, where eleven bouses were blown down. One person was killed nd' several so badly injured that it is expected they will die. Near here is a large turpentine farm, were ' , state convicts are employed. Twenty of these were huddled together in a cabin. A heavy tree was blown across the cabin, and six of the conyicts were crushed to death. . '" ' ' ' '' In Virginia. Richmond, Va., Sept. 30. The city of Staunton, in the Shenandoah valley, was visited by a terrible flood today. Many lives were lost, and great damage was done to property. The great storm yes-, ' terday caused the lake to rise and -flood . ' the city. ' All the water courses in the 'r 'valley became raging torrents, and swept over their banks, . carrying destruction . , in their paths. -The water in the lower - . portion of the city rose so rapidly that 'many were engulfed. Others barely es caped with their lives, leaving their ' property to the mercy of the water. .- In Maryland. ' ' s- - , Baltimore, Sept. 30. A severe hurri . cane struck, " thin city at midnight. ' ' Houses were unroofed, wires prostrated . . and windows smashed. The high wind forced the water in the harbor into the streets. Almost the entire northern water ' front is submerged. Several schooners tied up at .Pratt-street wharf, broke from their moorings and are rest ing in the .middle of Pratt street. The lower floors of warehouses are flooded. The Storm In Georgia. ' Savannah, Ga., Sept. 30. The hurri cane which swept over .Savannah yes terday afternoon , cost nearly a dozen lives and entailed a loss of nearly $1,000 000. Each report that is received is worse than those that came before. .It was thought only one death was . caused by - the storm,' but the number has reached 11 reported dead. ' Fatalities at Alexandria. - Alexandria, ' Va., Sept. 30. The storm relatively was more severe at Alexandria than at Washington. There were four fatalities. HISTORY OF THE STORM. Watched for Several Days by the Weather Bureau. . Washington, Sept. 30. The .weather bureau gives this official history of the storm : "The storm which passed over Wash ington last night was reported Septem ber 26th as a tropical cyclone, moving northwest from the Carribean sea, it be ing then southeast of Cuba. , Daring the Absolutely Pure. A cream of tartar baking powder. Highest of all In leavening strength. Latest United States Government Food Report. Royal Baking Fowdeb Co., New York 25th, it passed northwestward into the southeastern part of the Gulf of Mexico, and on the 27th moved northward, west 6f Florida. On the morning of the 29th it was central over Southern Georgia, and by 8 a. m. of the 29th had advanced to Southwestern Virginia. The center passed over Washington at 11 :30 Tues day, the lowest barometer reading 29:30. During the first three days the storm appeared to have little energy, but on the 29th developed force rapidly as it moved northward. A velocity of 54 miles occurred at Charleston, and 42 at Wilmington." WAS A. COLD-BLOODED CHI3IE. Part lc alar of the. Murder of Tumuile Klcld. . D alton, O., Sept. 30, Though he is a mere baby.it was a felonious motive that enraged little 7-year-old Carroll Mc- Ilbaney to plan "and deliberately shoot and kill his playmate, Tommie Kidd. Tommie Kidd was Bitting in his cripple chair, fn which, by 'means of handle- wheels, he had managed to move his little paralytic body about from room to room. He was just 14 yearn old, having for ten years of that saort existence been an invalid and confined to the bouse. He' was bright, intelligent and 'had an aptitude for study '. '', . The parents of - Tommie, when they left two weeks ago,' decided to leave the 1 " . , 1-1 . 1 ' . - r uiuo invaitu in ine country in care oi Mrs, ' Mctlhaney,- who is :. a widow. Carroll, the e hi Id v murderer, has been the active terror of this whole commu nity ever since he donned his knee breeches. Two years ago he set fire to his mother's barn,- Tommie Kidd, in defending himself from one of Carroll's practical jokes, slapped Carroll. This, was the provocation for the .murder. Last Saturday John Homan returned a borrowed double-barrelled shotgun to the Mcllhaney house. The,gu'n was put in the front parlor. The barrels were empty. - Carroll hunted and found the gun, loaded both barrels, came down, considerately drew his baby sister from the range of his aim, aimed at Tommie's bead and deliberately shot and killed him instantly. Then he put the gun back into . its accustomed place.. The body of the dead boy had fallen over in the chair. He set him erect, and, tak ing.'his little sister, went to spend the rest of the morning with the neighbors. The boy murderer is not .legally re sponsible, although he has confessed. He will never occupy a criminal cell for the murder he has committed. - He is a year too young for that. However, ef forts are being made to send him to a re form school. . A PRESENT FOR M'KINLEI' Senator Senniaon . Sends the Nominee a ' Bnge Eagle. Oakland, Cal., Sept. 30. A big eagle, caught in the hills near Berkeley a few days ago, has been eent to William Mc Kinley at Canton by Senator Eli Denni son. Accompanying the bird, was a letter, part of which reads: ... "He bears you our greetings from Cal ifornia and fairly illustrates the watch ful eye, strength of purpose, determined will and unconquerable spirit that ani mates the Republican party in this state.,. The letter is inspired not alone by your .past admirable record, but the dignified and consistent position you oc cupy today. - . ' . . - Female Help Wanted. .-''' Wanted Bed-beaded girl and white horse to deliver premiums given away with Hoe Cake Soap Apply, fo any where. ' ' ' . A large number of persons who com plained that they were poor decided to enact laws which would make them all rich. As their poverty consisted in the lack of food, clothes, furniture, houses and other forma of wealth, they agreed chat instead of producing the '.things they needed they would set men to work digging silver, which they did not need, out of the Rocky mountains. By bo do ing they expected that - the supply of other labor products would in some mys terious way be increased. How ranch is twice nothing, and how will the chang ing of silver bullion into coins make more houses, machinery or beef? If the sound money vote in Vermont Increases the Republican majority from 81,000 in 1893 to 38,000 this year, how long will it take the 16 to 1 issue to wipe out the entire Democratic vote in that state? Whidden Graham. The Tempting; "More Money" Scheme. There would be a scramble to pick up the promise did they not see the string to it There Baa Been So Reduction.
