Rains and High Winds From Mississippi
to Ocean.

Rains and High Winds From Mississippi
to Ocean.
A furious wind, accompanied by heavy
rain, swept over New York City. The same
storm prevailed throughout all the States east
Of the Mississippi River. Over all this Sec
ton the wind blew from forty to sixty miles
an hour, and In the storm center, which was
tn the nelghborhood Of Detroit, Mich, 1t
reached the rate OF one hundred miles an
hour. The storms greatest severity existed
In the lake regions, over the Ohio valley,
through the Eastern states, anil to con-
siderable distance out on the ocean.
For the frst time in the history OF the New
York Weather Bureau fash light was en-
ployed for storm signal purposes. In addt-
tion to thls, rockets were fred at frequent
intervals from the tower, to attract the at
tention OF mariners to the red light burning
in the tower, as signal OF danger. The fury
ofthe storm crippled all wires south OF Phila-
delphia, and alSo some Of the Western wires.
Seven lives lost and million dollars
worth Of property destroyed is the record or
the cyclone which swept Savannah, GA.
Hardly house in the city escaped without
more or less damage, though there are few
comparatively total wrecks, Shipping IN the
harbor suffered severely. Reports from
Brunswick, Ca, state that the storm was
very severe there and at adjacent points. A
number Of lives were lost, and the property
loss will exceed million.

curities the par value OF which Is $3O6,OOO
and estimated to be worth not less than fort.
cents on the dollar.
Rumors have been flying for several day
relative to the financial soundness OF the
County Treasurer
Then came the demand by the city Off.
cials upon Morrison for $4,000 due to the
city on payments for licenses under the
