Her initial trip was the occasion for q con-

crew Of 120 bluejackets was selected from the
cruisers New York and San Francisco.
The Maine ran nearly forty miles to sea,
when she turned and came back to the navy
yard in the face OF a stiff breeze from the
northwest During part OF the time while
under forced draught her machinery re-
corded 131 revolutions minute, which is es-
timated to be a speed Of 1719 knots an hour
The contractors feel confident that the
horsepower will exceed 5000, which the
specifications call for.
The Maine is $40 feet long, 81 feet beam, 21
feet draught. and her displacement is 1925
tons. When finished her cost will be $780,

Communication with South Florida is be-

ing in relative to the damage done by the
West Indian cyclone, which ragged in the
State. The dispatches all tell the same story
Of houses wrecked and crops destroyed, but
no loss OF life is reported.
At Tampa several large cigar factories
were wrecked. The large three-story brick
factory OF Seidenberg & Co., was destroyed.
The factory Of c. A. Joyce was demolished,
as were also the factories Of Ybor Manur-
ara, Teodoro, Perez & Co., and O'Hallaran.
The First Presbyterian Church and the ele-
CANT Tampa Bay Hotel were badly damaged.
Several small structures were also demol-
ished. The total loss on buildings at Tampa
Is estimated at $4,000.
Communications with Fernandina Is also
restored. A dispatch from that place says
that the schooner Edward Stewart, which
was loaded and lying at anchor. was blown
across the river, pulling her anchors with her

boats were blown away, and numbers are
now lying high and dry up in the marsh, to-
gether with the floating dock, which was at
the foot OF Center street. During the storm
at Fernandina the British steamships Boston
City and Elemyille collided and were badly
damaged.
A dispatch from Palatka announces great
damage at that place to river craft. The
steamer Princess was sunk between Falalka
and Picoluta. The steamer Edith was driven
ashore The steamer De Barry was driven
against the drawbridge and wrecked. The
steam Yacht Maude was sunk near Crescent
city.
The Times Union received advlces from
st. Augustine. These advices were brought
by Mrs Anna NJ. Narcotic, the Times Union s
st. Augustine reporter, who made the trip on
hand-car. Mrs. Narcotic gives graphic
account OF the condition OF things at st.
Augustine. No lives were lost, but several
houses were wrecked, and the losses will ruu
into the thousands. Nearly all the windows
in the city were blown in and the houses

Clara Denton regarded her companion
snxiouslv for moment, and then said:
L swear to you that shall be very
happy # you only tell me you will con-
sent to what have proposed.
His snswer when it came, was an i'm
patient exclamation of irony and anger.
Then he said:
You will pardon me, madam, if so
sudden a change in my sentiments cam
not be as prompt as you wish.
She blushed slightly.
Yes" she said, with & faint smile, Il
can underst how you feel about it at
this moment; but try to familiarize your
self with the idea, try to look upon me
as her elder sister-her mo'her, if you
will, and all may yet come right, and
and we m " be very happy soon"
The soul of Leland was a perverted,
not base one, and was suddenly touched
at this woman's heroism. He rendered
it the greatest homage he could pay, for
his eyes suddenly filled with tears.
She observed it, for she wa ched with
an anxious eye the slightest impression
she produced upon h m. So she con-
tinued more cheerfully:
And see, Mr. Leland, how this will set
tie everything. In thls way We Can Gull
tinue to see ch other without danger,
because your affianced wife will Re al
ways between us. Our sentiments Will
soon be in harmony with our new
thoughts. Even your future prospects,
which, in way, will also be mine, Will
encounter fewer obstacles, because
shall push them more openly, without re-
vealing to myf ther what ought to remain
a secret between us two.
He thinks the world of Mildred, and I
can let him suspect my hopes, and that
will enlist him in your service. Above

A salt water geyser in Pleasant county, W.
Va. is doing great damage. Sometime ago
the Archer Fork Oil Company began to drill
an oil well on the stream Of that name, and
a few days ago they struck great vein OF
salt water, which gushed Up in tall column
over the top Of the derlicks. The flow is
immense and continuous. with the exception
of brief lapses in the height OF the column.
The water is strongly impregnated with
salt and Archers Ford and French Creek
heretofore noted for the great number OF
game fish found in their waters, are now so
thoroughly impregnaed that the fish have
all been killed or driven off The water is so
salty that neither man or cattle can drink it.
The salty stream has spread over a great
amount OF cultivated territory, rendering it
utterly useless.
Springs, wells and streams are rendered
unfit for use, and the farmers believe that
the geyser will cause much damage. They
threatened to bring suits for damages against
ihe oil company for not plugging the well
