Thousands of Miles Has Been Com

SAVANNAH, Ga. Aug. 30.-The first
estimate of the losses here about, will
not be an exaggeration. It is safe to
say they will reach 81 100000, divided
as follows; Damage to buildings, $780,
600; to wrecked vessels, $780, 900; to
railroads, 100000; to the rice crop,
10000 These with the destructio
of large number of trees in the tupen

total to the sum named.
A good deal of anxiety is felt for Dr.
William Duncan and c. A. L. Gun
