SIMPLY HORRIBLE.

Result of the Late Hurricane the
Southeastern Coast = The List of the
Dead Growing to an Appalling Magni-
tude.
BEAUFORT, S. c., Sept. A CORE
spondent at Port Royal island sends
the first detailed account of the great
cyclone which visited that island last
week and killed over 1 800 persons.
The storm reached its height about
3 o'clock Monday morning. At that
hour the water was feet deep in the
majority of the houses, the wind was
blowing at the rate of more than a
hundred miles an hour, giant trees
were being uprooted and the lagoons
were filed with tossing debris. Be
tween the hours of 5 and on Mon
day occurred the greatest loss of life.
Whole families were wiped out of ex-
istence. One aged couple, with their
16 children, occupied a small farm
on St Helena island. Some of the
children were full grown. The father
of the family was in Beaufort to-day
narrating the sad fate that he was left
alone. The waters had swa1l owed up
his wife and children.
There was a pastoral population of
about IS. 900 scattered over wide area,
with numerous deep channels separat-
ing them from the main land. The
hurricane deposited handreds of it's
dead miles from the spot where their
lives were lost Only yesterday four
bodies were washed up by the tide back
of Beaufort. None of the many negroes
who viewed them could recognize them.
They were buried and their identity
will never be known.

FIGHT WITH OUTLAWS.
Sanguinary Outcome OF Attempt e
Arrest Bill Dalton and His Gang.

sanguinary Outcome of an Attempt to
- Arrest Bill Dalton and His Gang.
ARKANSAS CITY, Kan, Sept. 3.-A
posse of United States marshalS and
the Dalton gang of bank and train rob
bers met at Ingalls,, in Payne county,
Ok, and two of the deputy marshals-
Speed and Shadley-were killed, and
third-Huston-f wounded. n.
A. Walker, n. D. Murray, G. w. Ran
som and a boy named Briggs were
wounded, and young man named
Simmons instantly killed. The last
two were bystanders.
The officers had been informed that
the gang was in town and drove out to
arrest them and were fred on by the
outlaws when they diSmOunted. The
fire was returned and the outlaws
started for their horses, and, except one
who was shot through the chest, es-
capped.
Bill Dalton's horse was killed in
stantly by Shadley, and as the horse
fell Dalton got on his feet and pumped
four shots in rapid succession into the
body of Shadley with his Winchester.
Arkansas Tom," one of the outlaws,
was held at bay in frame hotel where
he took refuge. Messengers were sent
TO SC1l1WdCer 1Or assistance ana the
sheriff left at once with posse to the
scene. The outlaw finally surrendered.
It is thought that he is the man who
killed Deputy Marshal Speed and the
Simmons boy and wounded Marshal
Houston. He is now in the Saltwater
jail guarded by posse.
LATER.
GUTHRIE, Ok, Sept. 5.-News from
ingalls, is to the effect that Deputy
Marshal Huston has died, making three
officers killed by the outlaws in Fri
days battle. Slaughter Kid, another
of the outlaws, was found dead in the
woods, but no news has been received
from the three different posses out
after the gang. Four more citizens of
Ingalls, have been arrested on the
charge of aiding the outlaws and taken
to the Saltwater Jail.
One of the dead officers and one of
| the wounded ones lived in Saltwater,
and the people there are wild with ex-
citement and threaten to storm the Jail
and hang the prisoners. A large force
of guards have been put around the
jail and more trouble is looked for.

Thanksgiving in the South.

Speaking of Thanksgiving it is a pity
that it is not more generally observed at
the south than it is. We excuse our
selves by saying that Christmas takes its
place, but it does not; the associations of
that day are-or should be-of a more
spiritual nature than gratitude for the
supply of our temporal wants during
the year. Of course there are church
services-very SHINY attended-and it
is legal holiday, SO that business is
generally suspended.
We might take hint from the Puri-
tan custom of making it a day of fam
lily reunions without doing much vio-
lence to the memory of our cavalier
ancestors. A few congregations have
of late years converted it into a kind of
harvest home festival, decorating their
churches with grain and fruit, the lat
ter being afterward distributed to those
to whom it is a luxury. Charleston
