Severe Storms on the Atlantic Coas

Caloclln river was running through Mid
dleton valley, oVerlowed its banks, and
carried away everything that offered OBJ
strucdons. Barns, bridges and dwellings
were demolished, and fully SIS, GOO damage
was sustained. Several bridges have twice
been swept away within the past three
months, and much Of the loss falls on poor
Farmers, who can i'll afford it. Considerable
damage was done to the growing corn
throughout this section OF the State.
NEW York, August 25th.-The hurri-
cane last night and this morning was ter
rife and destructive. A number of houses
on Sullivan Island were blown away. The
Brighton Hotel had over / ,0Oe guests, and
great fears were entertained for their safety.
About O'Clock this morning the storm
reached its greatest velocity. At that hour.
while the hotel people were at breakfast,
the Casino fell with a great crash. Fortu-
nately ali the rooms in that building had
been vacated. There were grave apprehen-
SlonS that the dining-room and main build
ing would soon succumb 10 the violence of
the storm. At O'Clock the wind changed
rom the southwest, and when the Casino
fell 1t was thought that the maximum of
the storm was from IS to 20 miles an hour.
The main building of the hotel is intact
having stood the storm without very seri-
Gus damage. At 1 o'clock it was entirely
over. The loss TO New Brighton will be
$50,OOO- There has been very general
destruction OF property on the island. The
island was III the main submerged, but
when the wind changed the waters receded.
CHARLESTON Is. c., August 25th.-Char-
!estcn was struck by cyclone this morn
ing, and one-fuurth of the hohses in the
city were unrooted. Parts of the spires of
81. MIchaeIs and st. Matthew's Churches
are blown down, and the spire of the Cita-
del-Square Baptist Church is demolished.
The wharyes and warehouses are badly
damaged. At Sullivans Island two steam
ers are aground, and the new Ashley river
bridge, now constructing, is swept away.
Four vessels, which arrived yesterday. are
wrecked. The telegraph wires are down.
ana there are no cars running. The loss
Is estimated at 81 100000. The work of
restoration has already began.
SAvANNAH, August 25th- During the
storm this morning, the steamer Marion
ana two barges dragged their anchors,
and were driven ashore. They have
shipped much water but are lying COM
paratvely easy, and can, it is believed, be
released.
JACKSONVILLE (Fla.), August 25th-At
Mayport yesterday there was a violent
down and Mrs. Gilbert Hunter severely
injured. All the guests of the house, about
thirty women and children, were exposed
tor hours TO the furious driving wind and
rain. News from Fernandina shows great
damage done to buildings, boats and ship
ping, and the guests at the Strathmere

New York Republicans.
New YORK, August 25th.-The Republi-
can State Committee at Saratoga thus far
carefully avoids the discussion of names for
candidates on the State ticket. A Times
correspondent gathers from conversations
about the hotels that they are thinking Sc
riously upon the subject of political morals.
Plenty OF civil service reform and demand
for the election of better class of legisla-
tors are the features which, in the minds
OF these gentlemen, ought to be given a
conspicuous place in the platform. There
can be no doubt that the call for the Con-
vention will be broad enough to invite the
participation of all who may be disposed to
vote with the Republican party this year.
Another special quotes Senator Tim Nc
Carthy with saying that the Republican
candidate for Governor will be Levi p.
Morton or Joseph w. Drexel. Few men
have more Intimate knowledge of the I'M
der currents of Republican politics in this
State than Senator Mccarthy.
SARATOGA, August 25th.-The meeting of
the State Republican Committee was called
to order at noon to-day by Chairman War
rem. Fire Commissioner Vancott offered
the following preamble and resolutions:
WHEREAS, The best interest of the Renubli
can party could be subserved in the pending
contest by the free and full expression of the
wishes OF all classes of Republicans through
the PRIMARIES to be held for the election of
delegates to the next Convention; therefore.
Resotred, As the judgment of this. committee,
that all voters residing in the several districts
OF the Assembly OF the State who adhere to the
principles of the Republican party and whose
intention it is to act with the party and mo-
mote its success by their votes and influence at
the next general election, be invited, without
regard to any so-called fundamental test. to at
tend and take part in said primaries and the
committee recommends all Organizations of this
party throughout the State to act in Compliance
with the foregoing suggestion.
Jacob Hess asked if the plan would not
interfere with the plans already adopted
last year.
Vancott said there were thousands of
Republicans in New York city who did
not vote last year for the nominee for
Presidency. 1t would be wise for the COM
mittee to do all in its power to give them
an opportunity to vote for the Republican
nominee this year.
The resolution, after a short discussion
was unanimously adopted.
General Logan and the Zuni Lands.
WASHINGTON, August 25th.-The ones
ton of title to the disputed part of the
Zuni Indian reservation, which was To-
Gated upon by Paymaster Tucker, son-in-
law OF General Logan, has been under
consideration in the Land Office for some
time on an appeal of Major Tucker, made
through General Logan, on the ground
that at the time this location was made the
disputed tract lay outside of the reserya-
ton, and he was, therefore, not only JUST
fed in making the location, but is entitled
to the land. The decision is adverse to
Logan and Tucker, and the lands will be
confirmed to the Indians.
