Death Of Prince. tho Canine-Firemen'i

Death Of Prince. tho Csnine-Firemen's
Chowdor-Lively Runaway.
Prince, the fire canine, is dead. He
died yesterday at the home of his master,
Chief Engineer Patt, on High street after
an illness of several weeks duration
coupled with old age and rheumatism.
He was a native of Now Bedford, Mass,
where he was brought up In the fire de-
partment and was a prominent figure ut
fires. At the age of four years he was
given to Chief Patt and here also he be-
came a noted animal.
He was truly fire department dog, as
was frequently shown by his sagacity
when an alarm was sounded. Upon the
first round he would sit at the barn door
and when the second round began he was
of, In every instance just ahead Of the
chiefs team. A peculiar habit he had was
to grab in his mouth the first article he
could find, and carry IL along In his
hurried journey. All kinds of articles he
has carried to fires. Upon the arrival at
the blaze he could always be found In the
wagon taking rest and most always he
would contrive some way to ride home.
The time OF, or distance to nre had no
effect upon his determination and grit
which he was wonderfully blessed with. It
is said that he readily distinguished the
Pawtucket from the local alarm by the
sound and would seldom make q mistake.
Up to within few months ago he an
swered all alarms ss accurately as ever,
but old age and disease kept him at homo.
Since his confinement when an alarm was
rung In he would make every effort to 60,
but failed gradually until yesterday, when
he peacefully passed away. He had
q wonderful memory and . clever
disposition that made him fsvorite with
all. At the time OF his death he was 10
years old and had run with the Chief
during the past twelve years.

DOZENS OF DEAD.
TERRIBLE HURRICANE VISITS
THE SOUTH ATLANTIC COAST.

. + NJ
The Storm One Of the severest Ever
Known at htlanta-A Dozen Dead
and Forty or Fifty Missing Neagre
Details.
SAVANNAH. Ga, Aug. ~. Almost on
the anniversary Of the great hurricane
OF 1881 Savannah was again swept by
one of the severest storms it has ever
known. The storm. which had been
predicted by the weather bureau for
several days, began early in the after
noon and increased from then on until
It reached the climax between II and .
at night, having blown for eight hours
in terrific hurricane. A view OF the
city at daylight revealed scene of
wreck and ruin that surpassed that of
the great hurricane of 1891. It is i'm
possible at ais hour to estimate the
damage AS te result of the storm. but it
was very general and it is safe to say
that it will go Up in the hundreds Of
thousands and perhaps more.
The List of Fatalities
is gradually growing and it is impossi-
BILE to tell to what extent it will go.
Several bodies Of drowned people We're
picked up during the morning and
searches are now being made for others
who are missing. Every hour seems to
bring some new story of death as a
result of the storm. The drowning of
MIR. A. c. Ulmer, assistant cashier of
the Central Railroad bank. on Hutchin-
sons Island, was one of the most un-
fortunate fatalities of the storm. Mr..
Ulmer owns farm on the island and
had gone over to pay off his hands and
attend to other duties. Miller, his
dairyman. has not been found and
it is presumed he was drowned. The
other fatalities 50 far as reported are as
follows: Tony Halmes, rolored; four
unknown negroes, drowned on the
Brampton plantation four miles from
the city: Lewis Gaggnett, colored; The
Squire. 6-year-old colored boy,
drowned on Hutchinson's Island; John
Williams, Mary Butler and Sarah
Green, drowned on a rice plan tation
south of the city; two unknown sailors,
drowned at Tybee island.
Fifty Persons Missing.
There are 40 or so other persons who
are reported missing and, as nothing
has been heard from them, it is sup
that their bodies will be found later.
The ruin at quarantine is immeasur-
able. The wharves are gone, the new
fumigation plant, which has cost the
city so much, is at the bottom of the
sea, and nine vessels which were wait
ing for release to come to the city are
high and dry on the marsh, and no
doubt will be totally wrecked. The
tug Paulsen arrived in the city at 5 p.
m. She brought up about 10 passen-
gers from Tybee. Mr.. Revers, one of
them, stated that four negroes engaged
in clearing the railroad track were
drowned. A sailor and cabin boy on
the schooner Harsl, which is on her
side on North beach, are drowned It
is reported that eight of the crew of q
terrapin sloop which went ashore on
the South beach were drowned.

He Had to Go.

We were about 20 miles to the northeast
of Santa Fe when we met man driving a
span of mules attached to a light wagon.
He was trough looking chap, and his mules
had been hard pushed, but he halted as he
reached the head of the train, and if we
had entertained any suspicious they were
soon dispelled by his statement. He got
down and pulled tombstone out of the
back end of the wagon and said:
"You passed my cabin back thar at Blue
Jay creek, about seven miles from here.
Bin Twin thar with the old woman fur the
last 10 years. She died about two weeks
ago."
''And what about this tombstone?"
'Waal, l wanted one fur her grave, and /
went up to Santa Fe to look around. Got
this one of a chap for S."
But, man, this won't answer for your
wife's grave. The inscription reads, Sacred
shot Dec. IA, 1869, by Jack Henry"
''Does it read that way?"
"Of course. Can't you read?"
''Not line"
'Whoever sold you this stone took adj
vantage of you and ought to be punished"
'Waal, now to be honest about it." said
the man as he returned the stone to the
wagon, nobody didn't sell it to me. Istole
it out of the graveyard myself. It was a
likely lookin stun, and so loaded her up
and put the mules on the run. felt as if
the old woman orter have sunthin to mark
her grave, and I wasn't able to come down
with the cash"
''And what will you do with it?"
''Take her home and set her up. She's
got to go. / can't afford to lose three days
time over this job. don't keer so much
about names and dates and perticklers,
but I'm after sunthin to sorter top dress
and ornament the old gals last restin place.
It'll do first rate, and if any of 'em up thar
