JACKSONVILLE. Fla, Sept. pa cy-
clone passed over Pueblo Beach. sixteen
miles from here, at six O'Clock last even
ing, and did great damage to Murray Hall,
an immense beach hotel. The tin roof
was torn off; the windows and doors
burst in, and the building left in gen.
orally shattered condition. The serv-
ants quarters and carpenter shop near
the hotel were completely demolished.
Prince O'Neil, a boy thirteen years old,
was standing by the horse and buggy of
Lawrence Haynes, near the dancing pa
vilion, awaiting the arrival Of the even
ing train. The horse, vehicle and boy
were lifted into the air and carried near
ly two hundred feet to the beach. The
boy was killed outright.
A freight car on side track was lifted
in the air, turned over twice and landed
on the north side of the main track sixty
feet distant.
A passenger train, due at six O'Clock,
was half an hour late, owing to obstruc-

or seriously injured
The force of the wind was such that
pieces of timber were driven through the
two Inch plank flooring Of the railroad
station and were with great difficulty ex
tricated for the passage of the train.
The cottages escaped with little or no
damage, and no serious injury to persons
is reported beyond the death of the
O'Neil boy.
The damage to Murray Hall and sur
roundings is estimated at $4,000. 1t
closed for the season last Wednesday.
1t is owned and managed by John G.
Christophe er, of this city, who is at pres
ent in Cincinnati.
Great excitement prevails among the
cottagers, but the weather is again per-
fectly calm. The cyclone covered an
area of not over seventy-fv feet in its
revolutions and buildings and persons
outside OF this circle were uninjured.
The storm was less than three minutes
in duration and passed off toward the
northwest
