Ruales of the Kace. ‘‘No race’ was the result of the first day's competition between the Vigilant and the Valkyrie at New York. The greatest fleet of boats that ever passed the Narrows went through on its way to the Hook Thursdav morning to accompany the great racers in their international race from the Sandy Hook Lightship for the American cup. Al- most every place within 500 miles of New York were represented by one or mare boats and every one had aboard all it could hold comfortably. Thousands of enthusi- astic persons had a delightful day’s outing, but the first effort to pull off the interna- tional race was a failure. This was mainly due to lack of wind, but Americans saw Lord Dunraven’s Valkyrie, the pride of Great Britain, sail past the Vigilant, the pride of America, and were compelled to acknowledge that the English boat had outgeneraled the American at every point. When the wind held steadily the Vigilant held her own; but when it be- came a drifting match. the Val yrie gained the advantage. Throuzhont the contest, it was more of a drifting match than a race. The wind at no time reached the dignity of asailing breeze. The race was postponed. THE SECOND DAY. On Saturday the second attempt was made and resulted ina race to a finish be tween the Vigilant and Valkyrie, of the series for the American cup and was won by the Vigilant. The day was a beautiful one and although the wind at times was a trifle light, the sport was fine and every- one, especially Americans, felt satisfied. Thursday's scene =o far as the fleet is con- cerned, was repeated. But on Saturday there was a pretty finish and all attending demon- strations of enthusiasm cousequent upon a native boat scoring a victory. When the Vigilant, riding the waves like a victor unapproached. drew near the finish line with all sails spread, leading the Eng lish crack by two miles,all the cratt in the vicinity of Sandy Hook drew up in line and screamed her welcome that could be heard miles away to the mainland. Her gallant race is detailed below. Following is the official summary of the race: Course—15 miles to windward. Boat. Start. Finish. Eiup's'd.C'rret d time.

Both were stanaing directly for the lightship, with the wind on the port quarter. At 3:25 the Vigilant was a mile from the lightship; at 5:29 she had begun to pass the excursion steamers, which were drawn up i « line and saluted her as she sped by to the line, & w nuer in 7 minutes 47 seconds, CONDITIONS OF THE RACE, The racing rules, time aliowance and sys- tem of me: u-ement ofthe New York Yach- Club shall govern, with the proviso that any excess o load water line over 85 feet shall be counted double in calculating the sailing length, and also that the load water line length shall not exceed 86.7 feet.

WEATHER CROP BULLETIN, Maturing Vegetatio: Greatly Aided in the Middle Atlantic States. The weekly crop report issued by the Weather Bureau states that the week has been cooler than usual in all sections with the exception of the cotton region and the lower Mississippi and lower Missouri val- leys. Freezing temperature occurred during the week in the northern and central Rocky mountain regions, the upper Missouri val ley and in Minnesota, while frosts were general in the districts east of the Missis- sippi northward to the Ohio valley and Northern Virginia. There was decidedly lees than the usual amount of rain from the upper Ohio valley and lake region eastward to the Atlantic coast from Eastern Texas tothe south At. lantic coast, except in the Southern portions of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, where the rainfall was excessive. Over the western portions of the Carolinas, Southern Virginia, the iower Ohio Valley and gener- ally to Lhe westward of the Mississippi the rainfall has been excessive. In the middie Atlantic states the past week has been very favorable for maturing crops and for the work of securing the same and the absence of heavy rains, with generally fair weather over the greater por- tion of the cotton region has been very fav* orable for cotton picking, which is now be- ing rapidly pushed.

FUL LOSS OF LIF Over Two Thous ind Lives Lost In a Southern Storm. 4 TALE OF DESTRUCTION From Louisiana That Rivals the Stories of Wholesale Losses of Life by Flood and Earthquake in the Orient. The great storm between New Orleans and Mobile last week has passed and the loss of life, to say nothing of the destruc- tion of property, is tremendous. From Bayou Cook. the great oyster field which leads to the gulf, it is reported that the settlements of the fishermen have been completely demolished and that the loss of life Las reacheli the appalling figure of 250. Grand Isle, a summer resort, lying in the gulf, is «aid to have been utterly destroyed, and it is known that the loss of life is large. Many people were there spending the sea- son. The hotel and the two long rows of cottages which constituted the resort are no more. In the parish of Plaque Mine the villages of Bohemia, on the Mississippi, and Shell Beach, on Lake Borgue. were wiped ¢utand at least four lives lost in each place. On both sides of theriver the sugar, rice and orange crops suffered a great deal of dam- aze, and on the west side the loss of life is reported to have been great. It is feared that the grand total will pale into insiguifi- cance the number of deaths reported from the storm which recently devastated the Atlantic Coast. At Grand Bay, Ala., four churches were destroyed and the churches at Scranton suffered a like fate. Houses have been scattered, crops ruined, and desolation ap- pears on every hand. Train crews arriving at New Orleans on the Grand Istand road, report the track covered with debris in which dead bodies are profusely intermingled, and one of the passengers asserts that he counted no less han 87 bodies on his journey to the city from that part of the destroyed district. The country throughout is a scene of wreck and devastation. Tony Negovitch, one of the survivors, re- ports that 87 bodies had been found there up to the time of leaving, and from infor- mation volunteered by other arrivals, it is estimated that 300 people perished on Ba- vou Couk and in that section ofthe coun- try, he deaths at other points all the way fro n Bayou Cook to Grand Isie and Chen- iere, will swell the total to more than 1,200, according to the best information now ob- tainable. : At Grand Bayou notlessthan 26 perished. It is learned that the loss of life on Bosario and Linion Islands has been greater. No definite information has yet been received from Grand Island. The tracks are com- pletely washed away, and as there is no communication by telegraph, it is impos- sible to verify the report that there has been great loss of life at that point. The houses on Grand Isle are built on a ridge that runs through the middle of the island and as many of them are sheltered by the trees, it is difficult to calculate what the re- sult of the storm has been. There are only about 200 residents on the island, and no one has arrived from there. OVER 600 LOST ON ONE ISLAND. From the meager details at hand it is highly probable that the greatest destruc- tion to life occurred at Cheniere; a settle- ment of 1,400 people, mostly fishermen, on the mainland, west of Grand Island. Here the wind and waves dealt out death in an appalling manner. Bodies and wreckage are strewn everywhere and the pictures from descriptions by one or two rafugees are heartrending. The loss of life there is variously estimated at from 500 to 800. A HARROWING TALE OF WOE. Matthew Schurb, of Goldsboro, just op- posite New Orleans, was one of the surviv- ors of the Cheniere calamity, and arrived Wednesday morning, bringing with him a harrowing story of his experiences and the loss of life. Mr. Schurb went to the Island about four weeks ago with George Thomp- son and a negro bricklayer named Louis Roberts for the purpose of constructing a school house. Schurb on Sunday night had an experi- ence severe enough to turn a man’s hair gray, and when he reached New Orleans on Wednesday 1norning he showed the result of the peril he had been through. He was almost naked ; what clothes he had were torn into shreds, his face was bruised and he had not yet recovered from the excite- ment he had undergone and the frightful scenes of death he had witnessed. He esti- mates that the loss ot life on Grand Isle and Cheniere,Caminaca and in he Grand Lake, Adams, Cook Chalcn and [fristet Bayou settlements will reach 800, When he left Cheniere Island he counted but five houses standing out of a total of abont 300, while the land was covered with cornses The wind beg n to blow hard on Sunday evening and at 7 o'clock it had reached the proportions of a hurricane. From that time on it continued to increase in velocity and as it increased the waves covered the land and got into the houses of hundreds of resi- dents of the island. By 9 o'clock there was an average depth of five feet of water, and at midnight a depth of 8 feet of water, while the current was ae swift as the Mississippi rire: when that mighty torrent is bank full. No person could stand up against it. As the wind increased the houses began to go to pieces. The wind picked the roofs off as though they had been shaved {rom rafters with a great carving knife, One by one the houses were torn down, crushing the occupants as they fell. Schurb,Thomp- son and the negro bricklayer were in a house in which there were fully 25 people, all huddled together and terror stricken at the mighty agony of the elements.Suddenly there was a fearful cracking of timbers and the roof caved in burving nearly every one of the party, only Schurb and the bricklay- er escaping. Schurb clung to some floating debris un- til he saw a light twinkling in a house. He broke away from the timber and swam to the house and was admitted. He had hardly entered when the structure went to pieces, and out of the 10 who were in it only Schurb a woman and a child got out. Schurb suc- ceeded in getting them to a tree, and there the party stayed until4 o’clock in the morn- ing, when the wind began to abate. The negro bricklayer managed to reach a pole to which fishing smacks are usually tied, and clung to it during the whole terri- ble night. finally being saved. Thompson was lost sight of and was probably drowned. Schurb says that while he remained in the tree waves washed over him that were mountain high, but he and the woman and her babe clung tenaciously to the limbs for support. and saved themselves from being washed away into the awful, howling gulf around them. The wind was highest about midnight and continued for a couple of hours. Then it began to abate in severity until 4 o'clock when it was blowing with only moderate velocity, finally dying out to a light breeze. HORRORS REVEALED BY DAYBREAK. When daylight broke the picture of deso- lation was awful to behold. Only here and there stood a house. Everywhere there were only brick foundations to mark where the homes stood. Trees ay rostrate upon the ground. Timber was lodged in piles.in indiscriminate confusion, where they haa been thrust by the mighty rush of waters. Ruined chimneys suggested stricken hearths; furniture, bedding, clothes. stoves, kitchen utensils and oiher household goods were scattered in promiscuous confusion wherever the vision was able to reach, and bere, there and everywhere were the ghastly faces of corpses turned upward to the peace- ful skies now bright, and bearing no traces of the terrible night. Many of the men, women and children had lived through the night, but, mortaliv wounded and without anything to quench their thirst and no medical assistance at hand, had given up the struggle. There were broken arms and legs; bruised and battered bodies, faces slashed out of all human resemblance. Many a pile of debris was the temporarv vrave of a famille Cheniere lies across from Grand Isle and is separated from the island by Cheniere bay. Its head is stuck out in the gulf and when the storm came up the mighty w.ves of the ocean washed over the face of the siric en land and swept everything before them. Cheniere was even more thickly settled than Grand Isle. It was the home of fishermen and storekeepers, and ic comprised a colony of 1,400 souls. with churches and schools and evidences of modern civilization. Nearly all its residents were white people, the Spanish race largely predominating. Scores of bodies had already begun to show signs of decomposition. Under the circumstances, for the safety of the rest of the colony, it became necessary to take prompt steps to bury those who had lost their lives. ‘lhe living were immediately organized for a worz of duty and charity, I'here was no time to build coffins. If there had been there were no tools with which to construct them, no boards that could te nailed together as receptacles for the bodies lying everywhere; so the living merely hunted up spades and commenced the work of digging ditches in which to deposit the remains. Mr, Schurb assisted in the work and interred not less than 5) persons in a tew bourssome of them having not a mark upon their persons to show what had caused death; others were badiy lacerated. PEOPLE PERISHING IN THY MARSES. Bebe Rando proved himself a hero. He was the head of a family that, besides him- self consisted of his wife and two children. Their house had been torn to pieces by the hurricane,and they were in immediate peril of losing their lives. Justabout this time the Weber had parted from her moorings and was sweeping down past the Cheniere with the tide. Many planks had been blown trom her and weredrifing ashore. Randc swam about in the water until he gathered sutficrtent to make an improvised raft with this raft he succeeded in saving himself and family from a watery grave or worse eath. It will never te known how many were lost in the storm. The mighty wavesswept with such irresistible force over the land and at such a depth that it is possible that many bouiies and perhaps many who were still living, were carried into thie marshes. Unless steps are taken immediately to or- gan ze relief parties it is not unlikely that many will perish from starvation and thirst. The waves destroyed all the provis- ions on the Cheniere Island. The result is that fresh water is so scarce that it is not sufficient to relieve the thirst of the hun- dreds that are without anything to eat, and scarcely anything to wear. §1,000,000 LOSS NEAR MOBILE. A dispatch from Mobile says: Reports of damage by the storm are coming in slowly. Ruilroad,~hipping and mills are the heaviest losers, the amount aggregating nearly $1,000, - 00D. The loss of human life cannot be esti- mated. On Farmers Island only two farm ‘honses are standing out of a total of 23. These towns and settlements extend along the Mis~issippi from Pointe a la Hache, 47 miles below New Orleans, to the Gulf of Bayou Baratara and the oyster reefs be- tween there and the mouth of the Missis- sippi and on the island stretching from the Mississippi to the mainland at Cheniere Caminada, Bay St. Lodis and Pearl River are in Mississippi. The pecuniary damage, while heavy, is not so large as might be expected, as the sugar plantations and the richer positions of Plaquemine parish were not worsted by the storm, and it was the stuailer farms and fishing settlements which suffered most. The damage is estimated as follows: New Orleans $360.000; Plaquemine, par- ish, houses, etc., 600.000; orange crop, #2%0,000; other crops §250,000; cattle, etc. $200,000; shipping, schooners, luggers, etc., §250,000; fishing settlements $40,000; r. il- roads $900,000; miscellaneous = $350,000: Total $3,590,000. Between here and Mobi.e the amount of daiaage done is placed at £5,000 and in and around Mobile £300,000. Grand total damage, $4,390,000. ON MISSISSIPPI'S SHORE. Biloxi, Miss,, isscarcely less than a wreck. On every side are scattered vessels, piers and bath houses Those houses fronting on the beach wereblown down or so badly jamaged as to be uninhabitable. Up in the town great trees were torn up, the streets were filled with debris of wrecked barns, carriages fences, etc. Many of the streets are so blocked with wreckage as to be impassable. The canning industry, the leading industry of the place, has been wiped out. all the factories having been ?ither swept away or rendered useless, LATER DETAILS, : The latest advices from New Orleans are as follows:—As the news from the outlying and exposed points on the gulf comesin the great storm of Saturday night is shown to have been the most destructive of human life that ever occurred in this country Only Johnstown’s terrible flood exceeds "it in horror. As the figures now stand it is be- lieved nearly 2,000 persons have been drowned or crushed by falling houses, and [he property loss wiil reach about $5,000,— 0 \ 0. Half the population of the region over which the hurricane swept is dead. Ever - thing is wrecked. Oue house in 10 is stand- ing. and the surviving population is left in the most destitute situation, without food or even clothing, for the most of them were sleeping in bed when their houses were crushed by the wind or the waves.

The return to New Orleans of relief par- ties, sent out in all directions, confirms the awful stories of death and destruction previously sent out. A corrected list of those who have lost their lives in what may be called the New Orleans district, swells the total to 2,541. This will be increased some two or three hundred when news from the Louisiana coast is all in. The only station from which returns have not been receive i as yet is St Bernard on Lake Borgogne marsh. This marsh 1s 2 dead level with the ocean, more water than land, covering 1,200 square miles. Its oly inhabitants were some 200 fishermen who lived in cabins built on piles.

I was induced to try a1 bottle of Thurston’s Blackberry Cordial and after using less than half a bottle was relieved and am once more regular. Thanks to your Cordial, I cheerfully recommend it to all the ‘‘old boys’ who are troubled with that dreaded disease or anyone else for sum- mer complaints. This testimony is unsolic- ited.— Yours truly, J. L. Styron, Traveling Salesman.”’ Eo Thurston's Blackberry Cordial is prepared by Thurston Chemical Co., Grand Rapids, Ohio.

Its excellence is due to its presenting in the form most acceptable and pleas- art to the taste, the refreshing and truly beneficial properties of a perfect lax- ative; effectually cleansing the system, dispelling colds, headaches and fevers i permanently curing constipation. It has given satisfaction to millions and met with the approval of the medical profession, because it acts on the Kid- neys, Liver and Bowels without weak- ening them and it is perfectly free from every objectionable substance. Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug- gists in 50¢ and $1 bottles, but it is man- ufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only, whose name is printed on every package, also the name, Syrup of Figs, and being well informed, you will not accept any substitute if offered.
