ATLANTA. Oct. ia big storm Is raging on
tho Florida and Carolina coasts. The wind is
blowing a gallo. The Weather Bureau says 1t
will lie the most severe storm the South At
lantic coast has seen this year. and will be at
its height at midnight.
SAVANNAH. Oct 1.-THE full force OF the
storm will not be on Savannah until about
midnight The meaRrcness OF reports from
places south Of here makes 1t difficult for the
Weather Bureau to Judge when the height OF
the cyclone will strike this city. or whether it's
violence will be less than reports up to night
fall indicate. All the afternoon the velocity OF
the wind has been from thirty-hve to forty
miles an hour. After 8 o'clock II began to in
crease rapidly, and was followed by a heavy
rain. which still continues. The barometer
has been slowly falling. and at 8 o'clock was
20 44-10O. 1t was then falling quite rapidly.
This was regarded as indicating the approach
OF the cyclone In Its full violence.
The wind has already done some damage.
Coming on top OF the August storm 1t has
caught several buildings that were greatly
jury. The iron steeple Of the Independent
Presbyterian Church. one OF the finest and
highest in the South was blown out Of plumb
and threatens at any moment to topple over.
The streets have been roped of and guards
stationed. One or two other steeples are
weak and are being closely watched. The
present velocity OF the wind can do little dam
age in the city outside Of these buildings.
When the height of the storm is reached. II the
Weather Bureau observers predictions prove
correct the damage must be heavy. He expects
the wind to reach velocity here OF from eighty
to ninety miles an hour. unless it is diverted by
some unforeseen cause. which is not probable.
A telegram from Brunswick at 10 o'clock to-
night says that in severity the present gale
equals that Of August
