GREAT GALE At SAVANNAH
A Storm That May Equal That Of Last
Year.
Wind Blowing Seventy-Five Miles an
Hour. Mt Tybee Island-In-
habitants Must Flee.

SAVANNAH. Ca. September 26.-Every-
thing now points to the storm equaling, IL
1t does not exceed In violence the fearfully
destructive cyclone Of August, 1893.
At Tybee the wind ranges as high as
seventy-five miles an hour. At low tide to-
day the water at Tybee was higher than at
the highest tide.
The ocean is steadily encroachfng on the
island and it is thought that by night ii
will be completely submerged. Those on
The island will have to take refuge in the
light house and Martello town. The hotels
cottages appear to be doomed.
The wind in Savannah now ranges as
high as forty-five miles an hour. and Is
steadily increasing in velocity. The out
look is very bad.

MUNICIPAL MOONLIGHT
The Commissioners Would Like to Do
Away With It
The Dimcu1ty in the Way IL the Lack
Of NOney-An Improved schea-
ule Probable.

For some time pest Capt. Powell, the En-
gineer Commissioner, has been considering
the matter OF street lighting, with the end
In view OF devfsfng, If possible. better
schedule OF hours for the LAMPS OF the Dis
trtct. Today the Commissioners had quite
a lengthy conference with Superintendent
Leech Of the Washington Gas Light Com
pany on the subject. and together they COM
pared notes and talked the matter over. al
though no definite conclusion was reached.
According to the act of Congress. the
price per lamp II the District is limited to
so 80 per annum, burning not less than
5000 hours. The gas companies claim that
there Is no money In 1t for them at that
figure, and the efforts of the Commissioners
to secure q larger number Of hours at the
same price are likely to prove futile. AS
ma tiers are now it is necessary to make a
schedule that viii give as much SAUSAGE
ton as possible with what Is available, and
this brings in what Is known as the moon"
schedule. In other words. when the moon
Is supposed to be shining the lamps are not
lighted. This Is what Capt. Powell desires
to do away with, as IL is generally admitted
that the moon can hardly be relied upon
for Illuminating purposes, especially in the
winter months.
During the conference today Capt. Powell
said that 1t was his idea to do away with
the moon schedule. and to have certain
definite times for lighting and extinguish-
ing the lamps about the city. In other
words he was in favor of an al-night light,
and was anxious to secure 1t II possible
The COmpany's Proposition.
In reply to this Mr.. Leech explained that
while ii was impossible to give more than
5000 hours of light for the money. he still
thought that better disposition could be
made of the hours, and he submitted a
schedule that he thought would be more
satisfactory. He suggested that during the
months of December, January and Febru-
airy the lamps be kept lighted all night, and
that this be made up at other times Of the
year when there is less need for light. On
moonlight nights, when 1t BECAME evident
at a late hour Of the afternoon that the
moon was not to be relied upon. they could
go ahead with the lamps, allowing a little
leeway for such emergencies.
The Commissioners seemed to think that
the proposed schedule was not much of an
improvement on the one already in use, but
1t Is not at all unlikely that Capt. Powell
and Capt. Derby, who are at work on the
matter, will have a schedule of their own
to put into effect next month. The Com
missioners have the whole question still
under aGvisement. One plan that is being
considered Is to go little slow in ordering
new lamps, and to expend the extra money
on more hours for the lamps already es-
tabliShed.

NEBRASKA DEMOCRATS.
Bryan Forces Defeated in the COnven-

iohS AcmpOrary Or&Ahlxut1Ons
OMAHA, Neb.. September 26.-The dem
ocratic hosts of Nebraska assembled in
Omaha today. but the ranks were divided.
and dissension has taken the place Of har-
mony. Before the stare convention was
called to order today the situation was
chaotic.
The free silver men were in the majority,
but the administration forces had control
Of the central COMMITTEES. and the indica-
tons were that a conflict would be precip-
itated on the temporary organization. The
Bryan forces had selected Ed. III. Smith of
Omaha for temporary chairman. but this
was not satisfactory to the central COM
mittee. and a meeting was held to name a
man who would represent the administra-
ton.
The free silver men also decided to have
W. d. Oldham of Kearney made perma-
nent presiding officer, and this was also
thorn in the side of the administration.
By vote of 30 to 3, the central commit
tee decided TO recommend j. G. Miller Of
David City for temporary chairman, and
allow the convention to choose the perma-
nent officer.

ST. LOUIS. No, September 26-The
great an-powerful Tong Society. whose
members are commonly known as high
binders, has decree1 that the law of the
state of Missouri shall not be enforced in
the cas- of the attempted murder of Lee

specifies that FUng Lou shall pay a stipu-

he put in Fung Lou.
The crime which Fung Lou committed is
felony by the code OF this state but the

buildings and the Stumph factory fires
have cllled the attentions of the Commits
sioners to the urgent reed of a change in

there are any bodies buried. AS a conse-
Quence of this. they issued this afternoon

ter: -..

or animals have been buried IN the ruins at
large fires, 1t shall be his duty to collect
from among the bystanders. or elsewhere
such a force of labOrefS as he may require,
with one intelligent person to act as fore
man, and employ them to remove the
bodies, under his general supervision. The
laborers so employed shall be paid at the
rate of $3.50 per diem, and the foreman at
the rate Of s. per diem, from the emer-
gency fund"

to DIR. l.. w. Richie of Georgetown, who
desired to make certain suggestions for
changes in the arrangements of the mar
ket house on NJ street. that are desired By
the people of that section of the city. The
principal change that he spoke of as desir-
able would involve the alteration of an ad-
dition now In course OF construction, leav-
ing the sides open, and making a place
where countrymen and buck sterS might
back up their wagons and be under shelter,
change that would be beneficial both to
buyers and sellers Nothing could be done
