THE VIGILANTS VICTORY.
THE AMERICAN YACHT BEATS
THE VALKYRIE BY 5 MINUTES.
The First Day’s Rece Resulted in No
Contest. 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:

The American cup defender had surpassed
the expectations of her warmest friends.
Kvery puff of wind that struck her seemed
to itr her whi'e hull clean out of the water
aud sh? heeled so to lezward ti at the shin-
ug bronze be ow the water line could be
seen flashing in the sunshine. The sea was

southwest only caused a ripple. The Val-
kyne stuck pluckily io the race. although
theie ws only a hare chance for her to win.

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

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. Wheat seeding has
yrogressed favorably, and wheat that has
come up is looking well.

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,

THE DEATH LIST GROWS.
Over 2.500 People Are Now Reported
to Have Perished in 1\he New Orleans
District During the Terrible
Storm.
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

Libby Prison in 1863.
“1 have been a sufferer from chronic
{iarrhoea eve since I came out of Libby
Prison in 1865 and at times it was very se-
vereand my last attack of it lasted me over
six weeks during whica time I tried all the
remedies 1 had previously used and had
several doctors treat me for the same but
nothing would stop it. 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

rightly oR The many, who live bet-
ter than others and enjoy lifc more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the world’s best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the valuc to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
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,
