tho hold-up there wero four customers lu tho

to a vault. When ho came buck bo was cou
frouted with a shotguu In tho hands of a
robber and told to throw up his baud. Tho
customers bad already compiled with the
request and McCully did likewise.
Ouu of tho robbers leaped over the railing
nnd opened the- private door through which
tho men were made to pass, nud were then
lined up against the wall. Oue robber took
bis position at the door uud compelled all
passersby to halt aud throw up their hands.
The third robber went Into the vault, taking
all tbu coin nud currency, even to the
nickels, uud placed them In a sack. He then
demanded from McCully tho keys to the pri
vate boxes and ransacked them.
By this time the report that tbe bank was
being robbed reached the citizen, several of
whom armed themselves uud awaited the
appearance of tho robber. When they np
iieurod, Alexander Lionnelly, a young man
25 years of age, opened lire, and killed one
robber Instantly and wounded uuother, bit

sack containing the coin, uud succeeded In

WAVE OP DEATH. !
x , '.
Wind, Water and Fir Desolate' Cedar
Keys.
Cedar Keys, Florida, Is a place ot denota
tion and death. It wan thriving town of
1,500 inhabitant. Today many of tbe poo
pie are corpses, scores of others are Injured,
and there am but a few house loft standing'
Twenty corpse have been recovered, but
few have tmen Identified, o mutilated were
they by falling timber. Many of the corpse
were dug out of the mud, in which they were
buried by the tidal wave that swept over the
town Tuesdur morning.
The town I situated nt the mouth of
the Huwanee river, ou a number of small
key, connected by a number of bridge. It
had no protection, and went to piece when
tho West India hurricane with a velocity of
80 mile nn hour came roaring from the
gulf. The storm struck the place about .1:30
Tuesday morning nud continued for severul
hours. Though warning had been given,
nothing Indicated a blow ot unusual severity.
I'p to 11 o'clock the night wn cnltn nnd
quiet. At that hour a moderate breeze
sprung up from the eastward, Incn nslng
gradually until a ,40-mile wind wus blowing.
About 4 a. in. It blew n tornado and sudden
ly changed to the southwest, bringing In a
deluge of water, the tide rising two feet high
er than In the memorable gale of Is'.H, which
wa ut that time said to be the worst storm
on record.
At 7 o'clock an immense tidal wave came'
In from the south, carrying destruction with
It. Boats, wharvc nnd small houses wero
hurled upon the shore nnd breaking Into
fragments, covered the street with wreckage
nnd rendered them almost Impassable. Whlio
tbo torrent of water was rushing through
every open space, It would take the strongest
man oft his feet. It wa this tidal wave that
caused tbe principal loss of life. Many
home were swept from their foundation
aud tho Inmate drowned.
Of the iil) bodies recovered 1J are white
and 8 colored, Of the white six N'longed
to the Whitson family, a mother, four child
ren and a young lady visitor. Thu other
four white victim were men. Of the eight
negroe ouly one, Peter Woodson, has been
identltlcd.
The loss of life nt Cedar Key proper I a
Dothiug lu coinpuriscu with the number of
spongers and fishermen who were drowned,
Tbe Mary LTi7.a came lu this morning dl
masted. She report that at dnrk Monday
night nearly UK) vessel were nnhored on the
sponge bar bslow Cedar Keys, nud nil of
them but about 20 were lost. These bouts
carried frytn four to ten men each, and tho
loss of life was great. Eight corpse have
already been washed ashore. Tbu schooner
Bosalla wa sunk and eight of her crew wero
drowned.
The handsome Methodist Eplscrpal
Church South, thu Cedar Key high school
building, the Christian church and three
colored churches, the Suwiiueo Ice factory,
Wolf's cedar mill and tho Fugle Pencil Com
pany' mill, also the large lumber mill of V.
J. llerlong and the planing mill of George
W. Myer A Hon aud score of private resi
dences were wrecked by tho wlud nnd
waves. Koine of the handsomest and ap
parently most substautiul buildings uru dam
aged beyond repair.
Unliable riexvs of the storm from the west
ern part of Levy nnd Alachua counties have
just reached Jacksonville. Net less than U00
families are left destitute, nil their bouses,
fence nnd crops nre totally destroyed, and
what they bad gathered was blown away
With tho bulldiug.
The difficulty in recovering the dead at
Cedar Key arises from the fact thut tho
town Is built upon several small keys. Tho
bridge connecting these keys wore swept
away and the ouly communication 4 by
means of bouts, ot which there are but a
few lt. Then, too, most of the victims
were burled deep In mud and many of the
bodies will probably never bo recovered.
