No Sickness at Pensacola.

PENSACOLA, Fla, Aug. 24-Up to noon to-
day there was no sickness of any kind re-
ported in this city, The post-mortem on the
case of the man who died yesterday devel-
oped the fact that his death was not caused
by yellow fever. Surgeon Murray and DR..

maarial fever.

THE CYCLONES TRACK.
The Scenes and Incidents In and About the
Wrecked City.

ROCHESTER, Mimi, Aug. 24.-The streets
of the city are full OF people from all over the
lState, some from curiosity and some to care for
friends, while large number are prominent
men from all portions of the State to see
the effect of the cyclone that they may know
the extent and needs of the victims. On
every side can be heard of some new freak or
horror OF the monster till the heart sckens
at their recital. Reports from the hospital
are to the effect that the children are much
improved, while some of the men are worse
and cannot live.
The reported list of killed has been exag-
gerated through confusion of names. Care
full inquiry shows that sixteen comprises all
the instantly killed. The reason assigned
by the city uudertakers for the error is that
four were said to have been taken into the
cemetery by friends, which is not true and
the names of four other victims were incor-
Irectly given, and this aided to swell the sup
posititious list.
One thousand men, women and children
of the class that possess hardly anything cut
Eside of their homes and what there is in
sthem, are to-day without anything. Of two
hundred houses which stood before the ap-
prOdCa Vi tH6 SlOTIn, Inere is not SQHlClenJ
material to build an ordinary frame shelter.
The same is true of household furniture and
clothing The people are poor, and must be
cared for. At present they are lodged in
private houses, warehouses, empty stores
and halls, and are being fed by the city.
Rochester is doing all it can. A large dining
hall 20x60 is being built on the devastated
tract food and clothing are being brought, and
$1,000 have been raised among the citizens.
st. Paul has subscribed $5, 900, Minneapolis
$4,000, Winona $1,000, Saltwater 81, 900,
Lake City, $2500; Red Wing, $780, Hastings,
$100 Owattona and Mankato have also re-
sponded .....
The great need of the people can only be
appreciated by those who have seen their
condition. A gentleman who visited the
hospital yesterday and saw Quigg and his six
motherless little ones, all seriously hurt,
wrote check for 5000 and gave it to Judge
Start chairman of the relief commission, for
the benefit of the afflicted family. Since then
the father has died, and the helplessness of
these young orphans is typical of the general
distress.
The report of the disaster to a passenger
train at Zanbrota Falls grew out of freight
train disaster here, in which the fireman
was killed, and the reported disaster did not
occur The loss of life by the cyclone in the
country adjacent to Rochester has not yet
been accurately computed.

FATAL ACCIDENTS
The Loss of Life from Collisions. ETC., Dur
ing the Last Fiscal Year.

The Loss of Life from Collisions. ETC., Dur
ing the Last Fiscal Year.
WASHINGTON, Aug. N.-The Supervising
Inspector-general of steam vessels, reports
that during the fiscal year ended June 80,
1888, the total number of accidents resulting
in loss of life was "a, of which II were from
explosions, 5 from fire, IL from collisions
and from snags, wrecks and sinking. The
total number of lives lost by accidents from
various causes during the year was 2S4, of
which SO were from explosions or accidental
escape of steam, 80 from collisions As
from fires, so from wrecks or
founders, 80 from accidental drowning, and
8 from other causes. AS compared with the
previous fiscal year the number of accidents
to steamers was less, while the loss of life
was greater, as the following will show:
Total number of accidents to steamers re-
sulting in loss of life in 1882 was Al; ditto in
1888, "a; decrease Z. Total number of lives
lost in 1882, 205; ditto in 1SS3 2S4; increase,
70. The main increase occurred in acci-
dents caused by collisions, AZ lives being
lost in excess of the number lost in 1882.
The next greatest was loss by shipwreck, be-
ing forty four more than the previous year.
The increase by explosion was eighteen.
The loss by fire, accidental drowning and
miscellaneous was less than the previous
year, The most serious single accident of
the year was caused by the collision of the
steamers Scotia and John Lomas, which oc-
Cured in the Muskingum river near place
| called Mingo Junction, on July 4, resulting
in the loss of ffty-eight lives. A sad rehec-
ton in connection with the loss of life on
the Scotia is the fact that Notwithstanding
the sinking of that vessel no lives need
necessarily have been lost, as the saloon
| deck of the steamer, where most of the pas
sengers were, was only submerged to depth
probably not exceeding two and half feet,
while the hurrican deck was from four to
five feet above the waters edge. The great
loss incurred must therefore be attributed
to the fright and panic natural to such acci-
dents causing the passengers to thrown them
selves overheard

Strong Comments of the English Press on
Language of the Berlin Papers.
LONDON, Aug 24.-The Times this morn
ing again comments on the article against
France recently published i'll the Berlin
North German Gazette, and which attracted
much attention throughout Europe, and
says the Gazettes article is a gross and de-
liberate insult. If it fails to shock the pub
lie opinion of Europe it is only because we
are accustomed to hear Germany address
France in terms wholly unknown to Europ-
can diplomacy. To prefer an untenable
charge in language calculated to wound and
humiliate France is an outrage upon decency
and courtesy Diplomacy has abundant re-
sources for conducting controversies without
resorting to the language of vulgar menace.
The Paris papers give various reasons for
the article, including the recent unveiling at
Courbevoie of a monument commemorative
of the defense OF Paris.

they expected them to be bound over to the
next session of court, when they would
probably be sent to the penitentiary.

DEATH OF DE CHAMBoRD.
Sketch of His Life and His Claims to the
Throne of France.
VIENNA, Aug 24.-The Comte de Chambord
Sc

is dead.
The Count de Chambord and Due de Bor-
deaux, the last of the elder branch of the
Bourbons, was born at Paris, Sept
90, 1920, and was known as 1.-THE
Child of Miracle" owing to the somewhat
unusual circumstances attending his birth.
His father, the Due de Berri, had been assas-
sinated in March previous, by Jacobins, it
was supposed in the hope of destroying the
last of the elder Bourbon race, and the birth of
post-humous heir was hailed by the Legiti-
mists almost as providential sign that the
Bourbons were to continue in power and the
Republicans and Bonapartists be crushed
The infant was baptized in water brought
from the Jordan by Chateaubriand, and amid
great pomp and splendor. All these hopes
were doomed to disappointment, however.
Charles X, soon after the outbreak of the
revolution of 1880, wished to abdicate in ia
yor of the young prince, and, in the presence
of his troops at Rambouillet made a
proclamation declaring him king under the
title of Henry ", but the announcement was
not we'll received, and the Count de Cham
bord was compelled to leave France.
In 1916 he married the Princess Maria
Theresa, the eldest daughter of the Duke of
Modena. In 1858 it was reported that COM
pact had been made between the Count de
Chambord and the Orleanist princes, by
which the claims of the two branches of the
house of Bourbon had been arranged. but no
attempt was made to put forward a candi-
date for the throne of France
During the reign of Louis Napoleon the
Count remained in quiet obscurity, but in
1870, after the capture of Sedan and the
downfall of the empire, he addressed a
proclamation to France from the Swiss
frontier, in which he promised that the
Germans should be expelled, and the in
tegrity OF French territory maintained if the
people would rally around him. This was
followed by another proclamation in Janu-
ary, 1871, addressed to the governments of
Europe, protesting against the lombard
ment of Paris.
