GREAT DESTRUCTION
IN THE SOUTHLAND
Savannah and Brunswick Stricken by
(he West Indian Storm.
WASHINGTON IS ALSO AFFLICTED
Loss of Life Along the Coast Not Yet
Estimated, but Likely to lie Large.
Details of One of the Most Relent,
less Hurricanes of llcccut Years.
Snvannnh. Ga., Sept. 30. The West
Indian hurricane that swept over the
city and this section yesterday has
hardly been equaled for Intensity Rnd
destruction within the memory of those
now living. The wind reached Its
highest velocity shortly ufter 12 o'clock,
hut its exact velocity may never be
known. The Instrument at the Weather
Hnreuu registered sixty-six miles an
hour, and then went to pieces. The
blow was' practically over w ithin two
und a halt' hours, but for that time it
raged wit ti an Intensity heretofore un
known. Tin rout's were rolled up every
where us If made of tissue paper.
Bricks and wires fell everywhere. The
buildings unroofed or partially de
stroyed have not yet been enumerated.
Shattered trees cover every street, and
these, with hundreds of fallen wires,
make the streets Impassable. The total
damage is estimated at from Jioii.uiKi to
fi .Aou.QuU lii Savannah and Chatham
county. The li.-( of fatalities so far Is
about nine, all In or near the city.
There has been no way of reaching Ihe
Islands near the coast. It is likely the
fatalities may be In the hundreds, all
told. Telephonic communications Willi
Brunswick was established at un early
hour this morning. The loss of life at
that phc-e s reported lo be live In num

AT WASHINGTON'.
Washington, Sept. an. The West In
dian loruado, which struck Washington
between II p. m. and midnight last
night, respeclcd neither otllcial nor dip
liiiutic oi'oprielies. li ripped ofl' some
of the coning of the Wliile House ami
laid low most of the historic trees In the
While House grounds, including the
elm tree which Lincoln planted. it
curried away part of the roof of the
stale deoiirtmeut, where the otllcial
documents are stored, but forlunutely
left them uninjured. The costly roof
of the Patent otlice, constructed after
the lire there some yeurs ago, was
rolled up and distributed ull around the
neighborhood and skylights half an
inch thick were remorossly beaten in.
The naval observatory and In fact.
pretty well every other public building,
was more or less damuged. Diplomatic
residences were not spared. That of
the French mlnhUer wan left rootless
and even the substantially built em
bassy of Great Britain Buffered the loss
of portico under which the British am
bassador was accustomed to sit In the
summer evenings and receive his
friends.
CHURCH TOWEKS GO.
Churches and theatres suffered alike.
The slate roof of the Church of the
Covenant, where President Harrison
used to worship, was blown down and
each separate slate by a curious freak
planted itself upright in the grass
parking which surrounds the edltlce.
Still more disastrous was the fate of
the New York Presbyterian church,
which Mr. Bryan recently attended,
sitting in Lincoln's pew. The whole
tower of that edifice was reduced to
matchwood. Nearly every other church
In the city suffered more or less and
the theatres were equally visited. The
tower of the Grand opera house, form
erly Albaugh's, was blown to pieces,
fortunately without hurting anybody,
though the debris still obstructs the
whole width of one of the broadest
streets in Washington. Several other
theatres lost their roofs, in whole or in
part.
The new Albaugh's opera house, built
on the site of Blaine's old residence,
where the Seward assassination was
attempted, escaped Injury, but the
watchman's box at the corner, where,
through several wintry weeks, news
paper men awaited the progress of the
last Illness of the great secretary, was
caught up by the storm and crushed
into splinters.
The devastation wrought among the
beautiful trees was heartrending.
There was no loss of life as far as
known In Washington, though a list
of twenty-four persons seriously In
jured by falling branches and crumb
ling walls is given out by the hospitals.
In Alexandria, two persons were killed
and In other suburbs of Washington
J personal injuries were almost as nu-
destruction of property in Washington
city by the storm Is estimated at near
ly half a million dollars.
Washington, Sept. 30. President
Cleveland's suburban home at Wood
ley, near this city, thicii has been left
In charge of servants since the Presi
dent and his family went away to
Massachusetts, caught the full fury of
last night's gale. Hoof and rafters
were carried away and landed live
hundred yards distant.

BOSTON LINEMAN'S DEATH.
Campbell Touched a Live Wire and
Fell Dead.
Boston, Mum.. Sept. 30. Wallace U.
Campbell, 30, a lineman employed by
the Boston Electric Light company,
while at work on a high pole at the cor
ner of Hancock street and rushing ave
nue, Worcester district, caught a IKe
wire this morning and fell to the side
walk. When he was picked up he was
dead. He leaves a widow and two chil
dren. It is feared that the shock to Mrs.
Campbell will cause her death.
DELAWARE REPUBLICANS.
There Will Be No Split on the Elec

Dover, Del., Sept. 30. The Republican
state committee, of Delaware, repre
senting the nntl-Addicks Republicans,
met here today. As a result of the
meeting, William C. Spruance, of New
Castle county, and Manlove Hayes, of
Kent county, candidates for presiden
tial electors, announced late tonight
through the committee their with
drawal from the Held.
This leaves but one Republican elec
toral ticket, as the third man on the
Republican ticket is also on the union
Republican ticket. The union Repub
lican electoral ticket was accepted by
the regular Republicans without any
agreement or promises as to the state
ticket.
FOR BRYAN'S CAUSE.
Silver Mine Owners Organize a Fat
Frying Committee to Get Some
More Sinews ol War.
Now York. Sept. ::(. Thomas S. Mer
rill, secretary of the Bimetallic League
of the sliver stales, has lei Ihe cut out
of the bag as to the conspiracy of the
silver mine owners to unload their
bullion on the I'nited States govern
ment in a letter be sent to the Suit
Luke Herald. .Mr. Merrill says in his
letter:
"If Kryuu Is deft-ulnl we tilled expect lo
see sliver sold at u pi ice thut will be given
tl simply b Its demand for use in Ihe arts,
which will ceitulnly be not more Ulan 40
et-itts an ounce. In lew ot these facts, lite
owners of silver-producing properties can
altord lo contribute at least lite additional
prolils lliey leii-ive from Ihcirown silver
product tor one mouth lo the Bryunite
campaign."
He closes with a direct appeal to
well-known silver mine owners us fol
lows: "I appeal to Messrs. Miinlyrc and Ciin
nliDthaiii, of Hie .Mainiicilli: Kelili and
Keurns, of Hie Silver King; Chlsliolui mid
otherH, of ilu Centennial and Kureka;
Ryan and Knox, of the Ajax; Packard, of
Ihe lOureku Hill: Lialy, of Ihe I inly; West,
liei-k and associates,, of the Itullion-Hcck;
h'ariinworih and Sharp, ol ihe Hum Silver,
and Ihe owners of the Sioux, luiluiio and
other silver mines uf this slate, who can
well afford u asslt in this cause, to 11k
ii re ii tin- average monthly silver pro
duct from lli.lr minis und iiiitilii.lv the
product ol one month in ounces by 4 cents,
which Is Hie inliiilinnal price they will re
ceive lor their product. -all of which will
be prolit -un. I at once have Hint amount
coin rilniled and placed In tile hunds of the
treasurer of the bimetallic parlies lo assist
.Mr. Hi van In Ihe wonderful vuiiiiiaimi lie
Is miikliiK Hliiiost unaided. If we call se
cure ihe additional prolits of one mouth's
product uf the western silver producing
mines it will Insure success at the election
on Nov. J."
FRYING Tlll-3 KAT.
This powerful appeal to the selllslv
inslliicts of the mine owners naturally
proibict-d u profound and Immediate ef
fect. The mine owners organized that
very night and formed themselves Into
a strung alliance for mutual profit. A
call hud been Issued that afternoon,
and al night, a liberal representation of
the leading business men of Sail Lake
City responded, and several of the sil
ver mine owners to whom Mr. Merrill
had appeuled were present.
The meeiing created what will be
known as the Bryan Campaign Finan
cial committee, which will he a general
comniitlee to have charge of collecting
funds in I'tah to assist the silver cam
paign. The committee Is composed of
thirty-three members. Including those
mine owners whom Mr. Merrill directly
addressed Messrs. Daly, Packard,
Beck, Knox, Mdntyre, Kearns, Fams
worth, Cunningham, Chlsholm and
Merrill himself. This committee organ
ized at once, with It, W. Chambers,
president of the Siilt Lake Herald com
pany, a prominent free silver organ, as
chairman.
"After the meeting," says the Her
ald, "the subscription list was started
among the gentlemen present with re
sults which proved eminently satisfac
tory. The work of raising funds will
be pushed with a will to the end that
I'tah's financial assistance to the sil
ver cause will redound to the sincerity
of her people in their desire for free
silver."
Thus was set on font among the sil
ver mine owners of Utah a movement
to make for themselves a profit of 64
cents an ounce on the silver by electing
Bryan with the aid of a big campaign
fund.

Opinion of Bryan's Elfectivencss as
an Orator.
Martlnsburg, W. Va.. Sept. 30. The
streets of Murtinsburg began to accu
mulate crowds early this morning and
when William J. Bryan arrived at 11.35,
nearly an hour late, the town had ns
sumcd quite a metropolitan appear
ance In point of population. Martins
burg Is Senator Faulkner's home and
the senator was at the Italtltnore and
Ohio station to greet Mr. Bryan, who
was roundly cheered as he descended
from the train. Mr. Bryan was taken
in a carriage across town to the Cum
berland Valley freight station, where
he delivered a speech which he was
obliged to cut short on account of late
ness of the train. Fully 6,000 people
heard him. Mr. Bryan, on concluding
his address, returned immediately to
the Baltimore and Ohio stution, accom
pai.t'd by a cavalcade, and at 12.15 left
for Cumberland. At Cumberland Mr.
Bryan made un uddress, in which he
said:
My friends, some of the financiers down
east doubt the ability of the people to at
tend to their own business, but when I
11 li t J a. tinaneiei- who distrusts the Ameri
can people, 1 generally Und a financier who
visits Kiinipe ol'teiier than he visits the
country thai lies west of New York clly.
(Great cheering.) We have many of those
advocates or the gold standard who nro
tar better acquainted with foreigners than
they ure with their own people und if
they insist on putting their trust In those
who live abroad, I console myself Willi
the thought that a great many people,
uye, a asl majority, ure better acquaint
ed with resources of tills country than
these lew liuaiiciers, und that this great
majority, Instead of toadying to anything
thai is foreign, are willing to Irtist their
ull on this republic, and rise or fall with
it. (I'hctti's).
THE FIFTY-CENT HOLLAR.
My friends, I want you to remember thut
in lids campaign those who advocate the
tree colnaiie of silver, are the only ones
who have a system of tiuaii 'e that they
are willing to lay before Hut Ameiieun
people. V are deniHinling Hie free coin
tge of silver, as we have free coinage of
gold: we are demanding unlimited coinage
of silver, uu we have unlimited coinage
of gold: we ure demanding coinage at 111
to 1. H!e very ratio that we have today.
We are nut usklug that the silver dollar
be changed, nor that the gold dollar bo
chunked, but Ihal the American people
shall huve un opportunity to huve both
gold dollars und silver dollars to do their
business with. (Applause!. Some one
asks: "How about the tlfty-three-ec lit
dollar?" Well, now, my friends, I havu
known people who have been without
dollars so long thut u tifty-three-ceut dol
lar would be a (iod-send to them (luugh
ler and applause), bill, my fiietitls, they
did mil call the silver .lobar a llfty-three-cent
dollar when silver was treated like
gold. Prior to Is7:i, thu sliver dollar was a
dollar and three-cent dollar, measured by
gold. They told us that they wanted to
get rid of the silver because It wus too
good, and now they do not want to bring
It back because ll la not good enough.
(Cheers).

Hanna when asked this afternoon what
in his opinion would be the effect of
Mr. Bryun's speechmaklng tour in the
