A NIg1I OF Terror in The CITY.

Almost on the anniversary of the great
hurricane of 1881, Savannah was swept
last night by one of the severest storms
it has ever known. An estimate of the
damage is yet impossible
Many lives, it is believed, have been
lost on Hutchinson island and on the
lowlands along the river. The number,
however, will probably never be known.
Many Of those lost were negroes who
lived on the rice plantations and along the
river banks.
KILLED BY A LIVE WIRE.
The only fatality reported in the city
was a negro who was struck by a live
wire at Bryan and Abercorn streets and
instantly killed.
The storm was at its highest pitch be-
tween 10 and II O'Clock when the wind
reached velocity of 20 miles an hour,
the greatest ever recorded by the weather
bureau, that of the hurricane of 1881 being
estimated at 70 or 80 miles, but no record
was possible, the instruments having been
blown away.
The rain fell in torrents and was blown
like mist, beating against walls and build
lngs IN sheets, flooding the streets and
penetrating every crevice, beating its way
under roofs, smashing window panes and
pouring in streams into residences and
business houses, deluging everything.
STARTING OF THE STORM
The storm which had been predicted by
The weather bureau for several days, be-
gan early in the afternoon
and increased from then on
until it reached the climax between Il
and p o'clock last night having blown
Ior eight hours in terrific hurricane.
IL began raining early in the morning, but
oDIy IN gusts. After the first fall it
ceased entirely for several hours and did
no' begin again until afternoon. Then
'"e work of destruction began and lasted
'1'1 the storm had spent its force.
AT midnight all the wharves along the
river front and the Ocean Steamship
company and Savannah, Florida and Wes-
'0'H hallway wharves were under water
qu0 1ae tide was still rising rapidly
l'"'ehinson Island was inundated and
s'''e who did not leave were probably
S'O"ned. Cries for help were heard to-
Jay across the river and several
''anpts were made to send rescuing par
usS' but in the storm and heavy current
