SWEPT THE COAST
The Greatest Storm in a
Decade.
MANY LIVES WERE LOST
1t Is Yet Impossible to Estimate the
Damage, but 1t Has Been
Very Great.

NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-The storm which
swept over the city and surrounding cOun-
try last night, from midnight till o'clock
this morning, like the one few days ago
originated in the West Indies, but instead
of following the coast. swept more inland.
and reached out in every direction for a
distance of more than 1900 miles. AS
almost all teiegraphic connections are
broken, the Signal Service is unable to
give complete report of its course or Its
exact direction. but local observations in
dicate that 1t probably made its way to the
sea through the ST. Lawrence Valley.
The tides in the bay here were unusu-
ally high, owing to the southerly wind,
and the waves were angry looking. Yes
sells found difficulty in making headway
against them. Many houses in this city
were unrOOfed or demolished, and wires of
all descriptions were broken. Long Island
and the JERSEY shore resorts suffered m ore
than from the storm of last week. Sew
eral wrecks on the water are reported. and
when the storm abates others are expected
TO be heard from. Railroad communica-
tiOn bet yeen the jersey shore resorts and
Philadelphia has been cut off.
At Philadelphia two electrocntions oc-
curred this morning as result of the
storm. The Delaware River is higher
than for years. and wharves and structures
along the river front of Philadelphia was
flooded, and considerable damage has re-
suited The drydOek OF the Cramps ship
yards was damaged to the extent OF
$4,000 by high tide.
Heavy damage TO property was done at
New Haven, Conn. by the storm. Shade
trees went down and chmneys and roofs
were blown off everywhere. The oyster
beds are thought to be almost entirel >
ruined. Telegraphic and telephone com.
nunicaii0n has been wanting all day.
/ The fruit orchards Of Connecticut suffered
much. and some are ruined. 1t is impoS.
! sible to accurately estimate the damage al
present, though il must amount to Over
! $1,000, 600 in New Haven County.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-The storm die
great damage to shade trees here. The
electric light and telephone services ir
/ Alexandria and GEORGETOWN were crippled
! Telegraphic communication with The
! West was broken at 80 last night and
! with the East about midnight. This morn
! ing partial communication was resto ed
east to Baltimore. Commu icAtion was
also cut eff south of LyuehSurg. Va.
There is intense anxiety for further
news from Savannah and other points
| further south.
! BosToN, Aug. 29.-The storm of to-day
was the worst for twenty years. There
was considerable damage to the shipping

SIX HARD ROUNDS.
Smith and Ryan Just Fought Until
They Were All Bloody.

CoNEY ISLAND, Aug. o. - A large
crowd gathered at the athletic club tonight
to witness the sx-round bout between
Billy Smith of Boston and Tommy Ryan
OF Chicago. There we're preliminary bouts
between William Hill, the "Pickaninny,"
and Harry Fenwick, the Arkansas Kid"
and between Fred Morris of New York
and Billy Hennessv Of Clinton, Iowa. The
"Pickaninny" won the first in a scientific
manner, and the second was declared a
draw. Then, after an ovation to Jack
Dempsey. who was discovered IN the audi
ence. the main event of the evening was
started. Six hard rounds were fought and
the referee decided it a draw. Both men
showed considerable signs of punishment,
and each was covered with blood. SIN th
was the stronger of the two and did most
of the rushing, but Ryan was the most
scientific. Smith did much unfair fighting
and false wrestling, and this caused the
sympathy of the crowd to go to Ryan.

THE MARCH OF DEATH
Cholera Believed Now to Threaten

VIENNA. Aug. 29-ChOlera has ap-
peared in Vienna. This is confirmed by
physicians who examined the body of a
workman who died yesterday. they certi-
flying that there is no doubt his death was

gary during the last twenty-feur hours.

Private advices from Galicia indicate
that the cholera raging there ls of far
more virulent type than that which
scourg ed Hamburg last year, and the dan
ger to Europe from that quarter is most
serious. Nearly all cases are fatal. Re-
ports from Hungary are scarcely NOR re-

to cause heavy ravages. 1t has already

full Discovery.

CHICAGO, Aug. 29-At the AnthrOpo-
logical Congress at the Worlds Fair to-day
Mrs. Zelia Nuttall read paper. giving for
the first time an Interpretation of the an
cient Aztec calendar. Scho ars declare
it the most Important discovery of the kind
of this century. as it furnishes the key to
much Of the lite and the arts Of at least six
nations. early inhabitants of Mexico, and
promises to lead to the translation Of
hieroglyphics on the ruins Of early Mexico
and Central America. The accuracy and
perfection of this calendar which is pro-
nounced in advance OF any system now in
use, give evidence OF the high civilization
and mathematical attachments of the
ancient Inhabitants of America. 1t is en-
tireIy different from any system known to
ancient Europe, Asia or Africa. 1t is esli-
mated that at least 4000years of astronom-
ical observation were necessary to perfect
this calendar. 1t furnishes key also to
the religion, architecture and domestic life
of that people.

RICHMOND, Aug. pa passenger train
On the Atlantic Coast line arrived this
evening from Charleston, having been de-
layed twenty-four hours by the destructive
storm of Sunday and Monday. The express
messenger, who was in Charleston during
the storm, says that 1t commenced at l
o'clock Sunday afternoon and continued
without abatement until Monday morning
There was not fifty yards of space IN the.
streets not Uttered with debris, such as the
roofs of houses, signs, etc. The roof of
the ST. Charles Hotel was blown off. and
the streets were flooded with water almost
to the doors. The phosphate works were
badly damaged, railroad property was de-
molshed, and one schooner was lying high
and dry in the street, having been driven
from her anchorage. All telegraph and
te ephone wires are down and there Is no
communication with the outside world.
1t was reported that eight people had been
killed in the city, but this lacked confirma-
tiou. 1t was also rumored that there had
been great loss of life On Sullivan Island,
but as communication is cut off there was
no means Of verifying the report.
A dispatch from Raleigh, N. c., says
that much minor damage was done 10
property in that city and Wilmington, and
great damage to crops all through the
State.
ATLANTA, Aug. 29.-During the storm

cotton terribly damaged and tobacco de-
yastated.
COLUMBIA. Aug. 29.-The fury of The

ten hours the wind blew furiously and tie
rain fell in torrents, and men and beasts
were unable to contend against such ele-
ments. Crops are wiped away and a loss
of 40 per cent on the entire production in
the stricken section s certain.
The rainfall here during the storm for
twelve hours was 4.30 inches. The great
est anxiety is felt for Charleston and
Savannah. Neither place can bs heard
from and people are nearly wild with ap-
prenension. All railroad trains are at a
standstill and business is suspended.

Hopes That the Disease Has Been
Eradicated.
But THERE ARE GRAVE FEARS.
And the Physicians Admit That a
Part of the Jaw was
Taken Out.

PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 29.-The Press
publishes a fOur-column article reiterating
the statement that President Cleveland
submitted to a operation on the yacht
Oneida for he removal of a cancer, requir-
ing the cutting away of a considerable part
of the upper jawbone, so far with no seri-
Gus effect.
The Press says Cleveland is still very
sick and the physicians fear a mortal dis
ease is still lurking in his system.
A few DAYS ago Colonel Lamont said in
New York: The President is sick man;
how sick we cannot tell"
The Press says this operation took place
at the time of the Presidents previous
visit to Buzzards Bay. The wound
seemed to heal easily and naturally. His
physicians hope all the virus has been re-
moved and full recovery will result. He
is said to be improving daily.
