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.

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. WILL NOT REMOVE WEYLER. Keport Spain Intended to Replace Hi in by Blanco Denied. Madrid, Sept. 30.

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.

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.
