SAVANNAH, Ga, Aug. 29.-The great
storm of Sunday and Monday did con-

proper. Fifteen people are known to
have been drowned as mentioned last
night. More are missing, but it is Inn.
possible yet to estimate the number.
In addition to the vessels in the harbor
wrecked, as reported last night. NUM-
Der of other wrecks were heard Of
today. More than 30 vessels are reported
wrecked so far, and many sail boats were
lost. Nothing has yet been heard Of
thaeteamship City Of Savannah, many
hours overdue. Had that portion of
the city known as Tybee island been
washed away, the destruction could not
have been much worse than it Is. At
least half the houses on the island were
blown down or badly damaged, and
even the railroad tracks were carried up
by the wind and water until parts of
them stood up like fence.
1t is feared nearly q hundred lives
were lost by the hurricane and flood.
The list of victims 30 far as known is:
ds
Central Railroad bank of HutchinsaA
island, drowned.
Tony Homes, colored, crushed In .
house on Hutchinson island.
Four unknown negroes drowned on
Brompton's plantation, four miles from
the city.
Lewis Gagnett, colored, ran into live
trolley wire.
Father Squire. a 6-year.old colored
boy, drowned on Hutchinson island.
John Williams, drowned.
Mary Baker, drowned.
Sarah Green, drowned on rice plan-
tation south of the city.
Two unknown sailors, drowned at
Tybee island.
Scarcely house in the city escaped
damage. The streets are almost impas-
sable from the tangle of fallen trees,
twisted wires, house roofs and wseckage.
The quarantine station is completely de-
stroyed. The damage is estimated at
81, 100000.
Considerable anxiety is felt for DR..

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 29.-The Republics
Chsrleston's special says: This city was
subjected to the full fury of the tornado
Sunday night, and not until today was
it possible for the outside world to gain
tidings of the terrible damage wrought.
The only loss OF life in the city was the
drowning of three negroes, but the prop
erty damage is enormous. The tornado
left the city almost in ruins. The streets
are strewn with debris from buildings
and uprooted trees, and the magnificent
water front is packed with wreckage.
The battery is badly wrecked.
The damage to churches will amount
to over $50, 900. The new bridge across
the Ashley river is swept away, loss $780,
600. All but two Of the 80 or more
wharves are badly damaged, dozen or
more of them completely demolished,
and scores of yachts and small boats in
the docks are wrecks.
The greatest wreck is at Pregnall's
dockyard, where the loss is $50, 900.
Hundreds of small craft in the harbor
were carried out to sea. During the
storm dozens of lives we're saved by hard
work. One boat saved about so persons
by carrying off inmates from houses fast
being overwhelmed by rushing waters.
All means of Communication with the
outside world was cut off. No definite
estimate has been made of the total
damage, but the opinion ia that il ID
near $5,O00.000.
RICHMOND, Va, Aug. ga passenger
train on the Atlantic coast line arrived
this evening from Charleston, having
been delayed "a hours by the destruc-

express messenger, who was in Chsrles-
ton during the storm, says it commenced
at l o'clock Sunday afternoon and con-
tinued without abatement until Mon.
day morning. There WAS not so yards
OF space in the streets not Uttered
with debris, such as roofs ,ofhouses,
signs, etc. The roof Of the 81. Charles
hotel was blown of and the atrestg

The phosphate works were badly dam
aged. Railroad property was. demol-
ished, and one schooner is lying high in
the street, having been driven from
its anchorage. All the telegraph
and telephone wires are down,
and no communication with the
outside world can be had. 1t was
reported that eight people were killed in
the city, but this lacks confirmation. It
was also rumored that there had been
great loss of life on Sullivan's island,
but as communication is cut off, there
is no means OF verifying the report.
A dispatch from Raleigh, N. O., says
much minor damage was done to prop
erty in that city and Wilmington, and
great damage to crops all throughout
the state.

A Word With You.

While we dislike selfishness of
whatever nature, and believe that the
man or woman who thinks of self
only in the desire to possess or to ac-
quire things that it is the privilege of
the people to enjoy, is out of place in
this world, and really has no right or
title to the space they occupy here,
still it is not only the right, but the
duty of all to exercise judgment and
do the best they can for themselves,
when in doing SO no one else Is de-
pr1ved of his natural due.
Therefore we say to the trade to
come to see us for clothing and gents
and boys furnishing goods of all
kinds. We have a superb stock of
notions and fancy goods. A beauti-
ful line of handkerchief, collars,
cuffs, ties and every thing for the gen
teel and stylish toilet of the society
man. We also keep the best stock OF
hats of any house nthe country, and
are prepared to supply the demand
in any style or quality in all classes
of ready-made clothing and furnish
ing goods.
Remember that this is but an invi
tation. and we will take great pleas
ure Ia convincing any one who vii
call to see Us.
