That is the Report From Many


That is the Report From Many
Sections.
Brunson, SC, Aug, ga severe
wind and rain storm passed over this
place Sunday night. Considerable dam
age was done to property. Two trees
were blown on the residence of Mrs.
Julia f. Youmans, wrecking both ends Of
the building Mrs. Youmans occupied one
of the end rooms, and her escape from
death is miraculous. Several barns were
blown down, also the colored Methodist
church. two or three houses thrown from
their foundations, and lots of fencing
was blown down. The rain beat in
some of the stores injuring stock slightly.
The streets are filed with upturned
trees and broken branches.
The crops, so far as we are able to learn
this morning, are absolutely ruined.

NO MORE BULLETINS.
The Fever Considered at an End 40
Brunswick.


Brunswick, Ca, August 29.--No
now or suspicious cases, six days
have passed, and If any germs are in
Brunswick none can find them. So
thoroughly satisfying were the reports
from all the physicians to-day that IL was
decided unnecessary to issue a bulletin.
The health boards silence is significant
and no more yellow fever cases will he
reported
Judge Alfred j. Cravatt, prominent
citizen, hasreturned and says he looks for
the speedy resumption of Brunswick's
growth. Dr. G. Foget, a New Orleans
expert arrived to day and will take
charge of the hospital at Camp Hutton II
one is needed. He has been
in consultation with the surgeons in
charge here and will remain until
quarantine is raised. Surgeon Hutton
said to-day he would push Camp Hutton
to completion so that IL viii be in readi-
ness in the event that any new cases re-
quire use but, as we have had six days.
immunity from any further outbreak Of
the disease, things look favorable TO
speedy relaxation in quarantine regulR-
tions.
NO SICKNESS AMONG REFUGEES.
DR. Guiteras has made a canvass Of
Waynesville and surroundings, which
developed that there IS no sickness there
about OF suspicious nature among the
Brunswick refugees and others. DR..
Hutton speaks encouragingly Of the pros
to presume that the fever
has been stopped by the
system of thorough depopulation, and he
indorses Mayor Lambs action in Issuing
the proclamation TO the people to leave.
Drs Hutton and Carter indorse Mayor
Lambs proclamation and think his
method for riddlng Brunswick Of fever
people has saved her from an epidemic.
DIR. Guiteros in an5interview 9dvises
Brunswicl1ians not to rush back home
yet as fever germs may exist in some of
the closed houses, and those who are COM
fortably situated had better remain away
until frost, or if circumstances compel
their return, they must arrange TO sun
their houses several days before
not think this necessary, and
many express the intention
of moving their families before frost, un-
less new developments arise.
THOROUGH AIRING BENEFICIAL.
The risk is reduced to a minimum
where homes have been aired and summed
regularly for several days before occu-
pancy. DR. Hutton says from present in
dications the government quarantine will
soon be relaxed, and he will soon be able
to turn Camp Hutton over to religious So
cieties for camp meetings. All the guards
win be removed from around Branham'S
house Thursday morning. Doctors here
are all in a merry mood to-day, and con-
slider their work almost ended. The re-
lief committee is still doing good work,
and Mayor Lamb is having large force
at work on sanitation.
THE TOTAL OF Contributions.
Total cash subscriptions from Geor-
gians amount to 81 ,493, besides several
car loads goods The price for negro
labor has been voluntarily raised from 25
cents to so cents per day, and IS cents in

Inc NEWS anu OOuIlBE contains lDlS
morning nearly two pages of descriptive
story of the storm, from which the follow
ing is condensed:
THE BATTERY RUINED.
Charleston's beautiful battery pre-
sented scene of desolation yesterday
morning. The terrible food of waters
which had dashed their angry waves over
the ramparts throughout the preceding
night had done their work effectually
and the receding torrent, when it swept
back to sea, carried with it the glory of
the handsomest water front that ever
graced a city.
The solid masonry of the sea wall alone
withstood the shock of the tempest.
The oaken posts and the iron railing
which surmouDt ted it was almost entirely
swept away. The brick wall which had
supported the place had fallen in and the
conglomerate mass which had filled in
the space between the two walls was COM
pletely undermined. For short dis
lance in the center of the east wall the
tagging remained intact, bat even here
the iron railing was gone. Every where
else the beautiful smoothffootway of the
high battery presented the most uneven
and dilapidated appearance.
White Point Garden proper presented a
sorry spectacle. The south side was still
submerged to the depth of foot and half.
One of the handsomest of the live oaks in
this garden had been uprOoted. The
shell walks were strewn with debris,
including timbers, broken branches,
portions of benches and drift wood.
The driveway is in places heavily drifted
with mud and sand, and where it extends
down South Battery is badly clOgged
with fallen trees, limbs and pieces of tim
ber The iron drain pipes piled up beside
the pathway were rolled and tossed about
as if they were straws. Added to the
ruin of fencing and private gardens and
to the defacing of the handsome houses
the scene presented is one Of widespread
ruin.
HOW THE CHURCHES JARED.
There are seventy-odd churches in
Charleston. Almost every one sustained
damage Lacking space to particularize,
the money losses may be stated thus:
Mount Zion tcolored), almost ruined, loss

patches of last night.

MURDER AND SUICIDE.
Nathan Friedlander Shoots His Wife
and Then Himself.

and Then Himself.
New Orleans, Aug. 29.--Tonight Nathan
FriedIander killed his wife, and then
committed suicide at his home on Con-
stance street. Friedlander was formerly
a man of substantial standing, was the
son Of a prominent commission merchant
and sugar planter, and at the death Of
his father went in business with his
brother. They ran through with their
funds recklessly, speculated heavily, and
failed for a large sum. Five years ago he
married Miss Friedman, daughter of
Judge Friendlander, a leading country
lawyer.
ORIGIN OF THE TRAGEDY.
He had lately been prosecuting his wife,
and her declaration that he had prepared
to secure a divorce appears TO have been
the cause of the tragedy. While his wife
was lying on bed in a rear room Of her
cottage home, tending their 3-year-
old baby and talking to her
sisters, F'riedland entered from the
back, drew his pistol and shot down the
helpless woman on the bed. One bullet
went through her heart and another
painfully wounded the baby in the arm.
He assured himself of the completeness Of
his work, and then placed the pistol to
his mouth and fired, bullet passing
through his brain.

THE CASUALTIES.

THE CASUALTIES.
The casualties are six persons, three of
whom were killed in the city and three
on Sullivans Island, the beautiful seaside
resort Of the city, which was covered
completely with water. The loss to ship
ping in port was very heavy. The
bridge over the Ashley river, connecting
the city with the sea island was de-
stroyed. There is no feeling of despon-
dency here. The fire department is to-
day pumping out the cisterns and cellars
and everybody is repairing damages.
There was some dangerof a water famine
Most of the drinking water used here is
from cisterns which hold rain water.
All of them were filed with salt water,
rendering their contents useless. There
is, however, a limited supply of artesian
water which will probably last till the
cisterns can be cleaned out. The light
ship at Rattlesnake Shoals off the harbor
is lost; the crew, however, were saved.

Revision OF the Tariff.

WASHINGTON, u. G., August 1.-THE
appointment OF the committees haS eN-
cited a good deal Of interest In the ques-
ton of the course to be followed by the
committee on WAYS and means with re-
lation TO the tariff. The committee has
not yet been organized, and the mem
bers Of the majority have not discussed
their plans. or. In fact made any plans.
II Is understood, however, to be the de-
sire OF those most interested in the mat
ter that the committe should get to work
ut once on the revision Of the tariff.
What will be done will depend Of course
very largely upon the length Of the ses-
sion. There Is some talk Of an earlier adj
iournment OF Congress than has been re-
gardcd as probab but there is no in
dication that the expectation OF an
carly adjournment is warrcnted. The IN
dications are that this special session
will be prolonged, and Il is probable that
there will be no more than brief recess
between this and the first regular ses-
zion.
The statement Of Mr.. Cleveland II. his
message calling Congress together TO con-
slider the silver question that he had con-
templated calling them here IN September
to consider thCtarin Is generally accepted
as an announcement Of his desire that,
after the financial question is settled, the
consideration OF the tariff VIII be proceed
