special to the Morning News from
Burroughs, Ga, says: The storm started
here Tuesday at 10 o'clock and lasted
until LOS. The trees were blown down
in the woods and roads. About Is
houses in different places are blown
down. All the stacks in the rice fields
are blown down. The new Ogeechee
Baptist church at Shiloh and the new
Episcopalian church are blown to the
ground. Three lives are lost and sew
eral persons crippled. The loss is es-
timated at $4,000. Every person had
to leave his house and go out in the
open field to save his life. There has
never been such storm here since 1894.
Nearly every telegraph wire out OF
Savannah is still Frustrated. Storm
news is coming to the Morning News
from many points in Georgia and Flor
ida by mail. The storm appears to
have struck land at Tampa and swept
northward to Savannah, thence jump
ing on to the north. All the CORE
spondents agree that the velocity of
the wind was unusually high, even
for tornado, but it's duration at
each place was short-about an hour.
Had the storm been long continued
everything in its path would have
been leveled to the ground and the
loss of life must of necessity have been
heavy.
Brunswick was wrecked by the hur-
ricane. The property loss is estimated
at between $3.50, 900 and $500,0OO, Loss
of life is four so far as known.
AT Sterling station several houses
are down and one lady, Mrs. Clark,
badly injured by falling timber.
At Saint Simons Hills the Hilton &:
Dodge Lumber company suffered Sc
we're loss. The Episcopal church was
wrecked and much damage done to
stores and residences.
In the railroad yards in Brunswick
almost every tin covered freight car is
unroofed.
All the telephone and telegraph and
electric light wires are down and the
damage can not be well estimated.
At the quarantine station, several of
the buildings, including the officers
quarters, are down, but Surgeon Bur-
ford is safe
At the new docks of the Southern
railroad the eastern warehouse is down
and much other damage done. Han
over park, the pride of Brunswick, is
wrecked. Every street is strewn with
debris.
AT Folliston, Ga, Tom Wright, Ne
gro barber, was killed in the ruins of
his house as it collapsed beneath the
awful fury OF the wind Many other
houses there were demolished or partly
wrecked and the small loss of life is
looked upon as surprising. The Meth
odist church in the northeastern part
of the town is blown to atoms The
graded school building, constructed
of heavy timber and thought TO
be the strongest in town, is in ruins.
The teacher and SO students were in
the building when it collapsed, but all
escaped unhurt except Miss Kathleen
Roddenberry who received a slight
wound on the head. Reports from
Boulogne, across the river from Folk
ston, say that several people were
killed and others injured, but no yeri-
fication reports have reached here yet.
