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.
When a silverite urges you to vote for
free coinage on the ground that "the
crime of '73" reduced the money in the
country, just show him these figures :
The money in this country in circu
lation, not counting the money in the
treasury, at two dates 20 years apart
