DEATH AND pEsoLATloN.

Town of Cedar Keys, Fla, Wiped ON the
Face of the Earth-Pwenty of Its Citizens
Killsd-Scores of Fishing Boats and Their
Crews Lost.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Oct S.-Cedar
Keys Is place ofdesolation and death.
Tuesday it was thriving town of 1.5OO
inhabitants To-day many of the peo-
pie are corpses, scores of others are
injured, ana there are but few houses
left standing. Twenty corpses have
been recovered, but few have been
identified, so mutiehted were they by
falling timbers Many of the corpses
were dug out of the mud in which they
were buried by the mighty tidal wave
that swept over the town Tuesday
morning.
The town is situated at the mouth Of
the Sewanee river on number OF
small keys connected by number OF
bridges. 1t had no protection and
went to pieces when the West India
hurricane, with velocity of 80 miles
an hour, came roaring from the gulf.
The storm struck the place about $3.50
o'clock Tuesday morning and contin-
ued for several hours. Up to IL o'clock
the night was calm and quiet. At that
hour q moderate breeze spranG up
from the eastward. increasing gradu-
ally until 30-mile wind was blowing.
About a. m. 1t blew tornado, and
suddenly changed to the southeast,
bringing in perfect deluge of water,
the tide rising two feet higher than in
the gale of 1904, which was at the time
said to be the worst storm on record.
At o'clock an immense tidal wave
came in from the south, carrying de-
struction with 1t. Boats, wharves and
small houses were hurled upon the
shore and, breaking into fragments,
covered the streets with wreckage and
rendered them almost impossible.
While the torrent of water was rush
ing into every open space It would take
the strongest man off his feet. 1t was
this tidal wave that caused the prin-
cipal loss of life. Many houses we're
swept from their foundations and the
inmates drowned.
OF the 20 bodies recovered 12 are
whites and eight colored. OF the whites
six belonged to the Whitson family--a
mother, four children and young lady
visitor. The other four white victims
are men and lave not been identified.
Of the eight negroes only one, Peter
Woodson, has been identified.
The loss of life at Cedar Keys proper
is as nothing in comparison with the
number of spongers and fishermen who
were drowned, The Mary Eliza came
in Friday dismasted. She reports that
at dark Monday night nearly 100 YES
sells were anchored on the sponge bar
below Cedar Keys and that all of them
but about 20 were lost. AS these boats
carried from four to ter rlen each, the
, loss Of life was great. Eight corpses
have already been washed ashore The
schooner Rosalia was sunk and eight
of her crew drowned.
In Cedar Keys those who escaped
death had terrible experience. When
the tidal wave came and overwhelmed
the houses many Of the inmates foated
in the water, clinging to pieces of tim
Der; others clung to tree tops for
| hours until the water receded

Sheldon, brother of Hon. Carlos Shell
don. republican nominee for congress
from the Twelfth district, was shot
last evening by discharged coachman
named Felix Dumontier. Two weeks

night Dumontier met Sheldon on the
bridge crossing Portage lake, between
this city and Hancock, and emptied
every bullet of a five-chamber revolver
