of preparing to overthrow society. And the
idea of some of our opponents have about

A Pensacola Account.

PENSACOLA, Fla, Oct. All efforts to
reach Cedar Keys tonight by wire have
been unavailing as the telegraph lines and
railroads are wrecked for many miles out
side the town. Further reports received to-
day from interior points in the path of the
tornado show that it was the most de-
structive storm ever known in the State.
The death list is growing and the destruc-
ton to buildings. crops, timber. railroads,
live stock. etc. is now at millions
of dollars. The State Agricultural College
at Lake City was badly damaged and many
of the finest depots along the lines of rail-
roads are wrecks. The large phosphate
works in Alachua county were damaged
and all the turpentine works in that section
were destroyed. In many districts not "a
vestige was left of the growing crops. The
storm was not expected in the interior and
many persons were killed who might have
sought shelter had they been warned. The
people We're panic stricken and many
rushed from their homes to meet death
from flying timber, limbs. etc. A panic
prevailed among the students of the State
College at Lake City. but while the build
ings were partially wrecked. the professors
and students escaped injury.

R STORM HAVOC
SIXTN-SEVEN PEOPLE KILLED
SIXTY-TWO WOUNDED.
Cedar Keys Almost Wiped Out and
Thirty-Nine Lives Lost There
to Property Heavy.

JACKSONVILLE. Fla, Oct. Com
munication with the interior is restored,
and the news of the destruction of life and
propert by Tuesdays hurricane becomes
appalling. Hundreds of persons are home
less and must suffer from hunger unless re-
lief shall be quickly furnished. Reports to
the Citizen from s~eventy-six different
towns, including all of the important points
in Levy, Lafayette, Suwanee. Columbia.
Bradford and Baker counties show that
sixty-seven persons were killed and sixty
two injured. These are the known cas-
~ualities. To this total probably a consid-
cradle number must be added to cover
those not yet heard from. The loss of life
was greatest at Cedar Keys. on the Gulf of
Mexico, where the hurricane entered the
State. Over half of the known deaths oc-
Cured at that place. The destruction of
valuable timber, turpentine trees. farm
crops, phosphate works and buildings of
every description in the counties men,
toned. forming a belt across the State from
southwest to northeast, will aggregate
hundreds of thousands if not millions of
dollars.
Full and authentic advices from Cedar
Keys late tonight show the almost total
destruction of the town and the loss of
thirty-nine lives. This is believed to in
clude the complete roll of the dead. AT
Shell Mound, a great pleasure resort near
the place, a party of five men, three
women and three children were camping
out. Some surveyors. making their way
home after the storm, found the eleven
dead bodies Strewn on the shore under logs
and brush. They We're close together,
which would indicate that they were SIM
ultaneouSly killed by the tidal wave. Eight
other bodies have been found on the beach.
Twenty more fishermen are still to be
heard from, all OF whom are probably
dead.
During the hurricane at Cedar Keys the
water came up with the wind, and down
the principal streets rushed a mad torrent,
upon which fioated houses, boats and
debris of every description. While the
tempest was at its height the Schlemmer
House and John Sherrili's residence took
fire and were burned. The destruction OF
property was as follows: -Four miles of the
Florida Central az Peninsular railway, most
of its trestle work washed away; four cedar
mills and ice factory badly damaged; the
custom house and w. T. McCleary's fish
house washed to sea, and the high-school
building, the Methodist and Christian
churches, the Beatty building and negro
churches crushed like egg shells. The
loss is estimated at $3.50, goo.

AN OBJECT LESSON.
Henry's Big Meeting in 81 Mill Shut
Down for 81 Year.

Down for 81 Year.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
MUNCIE, Ind. Oct. What proved TO
be the greatest Republican meeting in Mum
Gle during the present campaign was held
last night at the old Darnell iron mill in
the Sixth ward, or factory district. The
meeting was under the auspices of the
Sixth Ward Mckinley Club and was adj
dressed by Hon. Charles l.. Henry, who
was given a great ovation. Two brass
bands and three drum corps led a process
sion of about 500 marching men, who. with
t~orchlights, acted as escort for the speaker
from Republican headquarters, a distance
of nearly two miles, to the place of meet
ing. The Mckinley and Hobart Bicycle
Club, with fifty decorated wheels, was in
line also. A stage had been erected in the
mill and seats made for 1000 people, but
the crowd present numbered nearly 5000.
The mill, which has stood idle for over d
year. with rusty and dust-covered ma
chinery, made an object lesson for Democ-
racy. Mr.. Henry spoke to the crowd of
factory people for an hour, and in part
said:
Don't it seem rather strange this year
that you see no Democratic meetings adj
vertised? Well, that is a fact; they are all
masked with the words 'free-silver meet
ing What is the reason for this? Did
you ever stop to think? 1t is simply this:
Four years ago they promised you that If
that party was given power you would all
clover has a stencil to it that is unbear-
able. They know it and never refer to
their past record. Now, shall we put them
back again? ono, no. from the audience.)
They said the remedy was Il tariff for reve-
nue. only. as we pay too much for carpets
and other commodities. They also said the
mills would run double time. How about
it? Now, in the face, of the result of all
these past promises they ask you to shut
your eyes and blindly support the same
party again. We don't intend to let them
forget these things that have caused four
years of suffering.
There have been rumOrS started that [

same story was started when l ran for

his ninety-fourth of the campaign. This
is the home of Hon. B. F. Shively, the

had no effect on Mr.. Mounts visit, except
to swell the crowd. Mr.. Mount spoke to
about $500 people this afternoon. At about
2 O'Clock it was learned that he could re-
main for an evening meeting and the report
spread like wildfire. The result was re-
markable. 1t brought out tonight the
greatest parade of the campaign. one much
larger than when William j. Bryan, the
free-silver presidential candidate, spoke
here a few weeks ago. Further than this
Mr.. Mount had a larger audience attracted
on five hours notice than Mr.. Bryan had
after several weeks advertising. Mr..
Mount was introduced by Aaron Jones, of
this city. and delivered a pointed. forcible
and vote-getting address. Hon. Charles F.

claims Governor w. J. Stone, of Missouri,
