Details of the Devastation nj Jamaica
PHILADELPHIA, August 80. = Captain
Bassett ]. Smith steamed up the Delaware
from Port Antonio, Jamaica, to-day, and
when he came ashore, gave graphic &C
count OF the hurricane which swept oyei
the island on the 18th.
1.-THE weather." said Captain Bassett,
chad been threatening for two or three
days, and knew that something was up,
but did not look for any such storm a.
the one that struck us and devastated the
island in such a short space Of time. The
barometer, which had been falling for two
or three days, began to go down very
rapidly, and at o'clock that afternoon Il
began to blow. At first we thought It only
a squall, but the force Of the wind gradn-
ally increased to a hurricane, and from 10
o'clock that night until 2 O'Clock the next
morning, 1t blew with force that swept
everything before it" ~. Vfti
The Captain says that many small
schooners were dashed on the beach and
wrecked at Port Antonio, and eleven
houses were demolished. ,.ls8s a.
At Spring Grove, out Of thirty.seven
houses only eleven are left standing.
AT Nauchioneal there is not house left
whole.
At Kingston, the capital and principal
seaport, the destruction Of property was
very great. Only one wharf Is left, and
nearly all the small shipping in the har-
Dor was destroyed. Although the greatest
damage was done along the haibor front,
the upper part Of the Town suffered very
much. Among the wrecked buildings
were the Ebenezer school house and the
Roman Catholic school, on Sutton street.
Great damage was done to the parade gar
deDs. -rt
The loss is very great. Many banana
are destroyed, and the growing
ruined. Men who had hundreds
OF acres Of bananas ready for market have
not bunch left. 1t is calculated that the
island has been put back at least two years
by. the storm. -.

Lou1svilLE, KY, August Sl.-A Shelby
City special to the coIrir,Journal says
Samuel johnson was shot and instantly
killed by James Wheeler this evening at
Danville Junction. This Is the culmina-
tion OF an old feud which began in 1859, at
Liberty, between Samuel johnson g father,
Bill owsly, James Wheeler and several
other parties, in which johnson was killed
by 0Wsly. Young Sam, then boy only
four years old, as he grew older swore he
would kill 0wsly and Wheeler at the first
opportunity.
0wsly died nine years ago. johnson
met Wheeler for the first time last fall, and
at once assaulted him, but the bystauders
interfered and prevented johnson from
accomplishing bis purpose. Wheeler
made his escape from the infuriated man
and nothing more was thought OF the mat
ter till two months ago, when johnson
appeared at Danville Junction, where
Wheeler was at work, and fred three
shots at him, but none taking effect, and
Wheeler made bis escape.
Since then Wheeler armed
himself, and has been on the look out for
his enemy. To-day Johnson, accompanied
by three other men, came TO Junction
looking for Wheeler under pretence
Of wanting to compromise the matter.
Wheeler, not believing their sincerity.
kept out OF sight and finally went
to his room and from the window watched
their movements. johnson and party,
after searching the town over and falling
to find their man, walked to this place
where they remained a few minutes and
then returned to the junction. Wheeler
was still watching their movements from
the window, and Just as johnson
stepped from the railroad on the
platform leading to the hotel he fred
one barrel Of the gun, loaded with buck.
ahot, into Johnson's right side. johnson
sank on the platform and died In few
minutes. Wheeler was arrested and taken |
10 Jail at Danville. The general opinion |
Is That Wheeler acted in self defense and
will be acquitted on examination.
