A HURRICANE SWEEPS THE BAY.
Great Havoc Caused Along tho Chrsa-
peake Water Fronr---Many Vessels
Roughly Handled.

unusual violence swept up Chesapeake
bay at noon to-day and played havoc
with the buildings along the water front
of the harbor and with the vessels
moorcd therein. The wind reached
velocity of almost 60 miles an hour.
The harbor was well filled with vessels
Of every class, and great deal of
damage was done to them,
Tho immense grain elevator, No. 3,
belonging to the Northern Central rail-
road, located in Canton, was consider
ably damaged, the wind shaking the
great building until wide cracks APP
peared in the walls. The workmen
rushed from the building terror-stricken
with the belief that the structure was
about to collapse. Several other build.
ings were damaged.
The Weems Line steamer Lancaster
was blown from her course and collided
with the Norwegian steamer lIolguin.
The schooner Nanlear Black broke from
her moorings and was driven against q
dock with such force as to wreck the
schuoners headgear and damage the
dock. The tug Volunteer was bringing
the barges jackson No. 3 and Fred
Durkce from Norfolk up the bay when
the hurricane overlook and very roughly
handled the crafts.
The Durkcc went to pieces within
few minutes and her cargo OF lumber
tloated about the river, On board the
barge was the owner, Captain Joseph
Elliott of Buffalo, N. ", and his Ii.
years-old son. The destruction of the
vessel was so rapid that they were res
cued from the water with difficulty.
An unknown two-masted schooner
was driven ashore off Sparrow's Point.
An upturned soop Of 30 tons is also re-
ported oil Fort Carroll No estimate of
the losses caused by the hurricane can
be made tonight, but they will neccs-
sarily be very large.
