THE SAD TALE OF DEATH
THE DETAILS OF LAST TUESDAYS
TIDAL WAVE.
Districts and Counties Laid Waste,
with Damages Running Up
Into the Millions.

Jacksonville, Fla, oct. 2-Communica-
ticn with the interior is restored, and
the news of the destruction of life ana
property by Tuesdays hurricane be-
comes appalling. Hundreds of persons
arc homeless and must suffer from hun
ger unless relief shall be quickly furn-
ished.
Reports to the Citizen from rs different
towns. including all of the important
points in Levy, Lafayette, Sewanee, Co
lumbus, Bradford and Baker counties,
show that 81 persons were killed and b2
injured.
These are the known casualties. TO
this total, probably a considerable num-
Der 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
occurred at that place. The destruction
of valuable timber, turpentine trees. farm
crops, phosphate worksrand buildings OF
every description in the counties men
tened, forming a belt across the state
from southwest to northeast, Will ag-
gregate hundreds of thousands, If not
millions of dollars.
Full authentic advices from Cedar Keys
late tonight show the almost total de-
struction of the town and the loss OF
$50 lives. This is believed to include the
complete roll or the dead.
AL Shellmount 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
IL dead bodies strewn on the shore, under
logs and brush. They were close to-
gether, which would indicate that they
were simultaneously killed by the tidal
wave.
Eight other bodies have been found
on the beach. Twenty more fishermen
are still missing, all of whom are prob
ably dead.
During the hurricane at Cedar Keys
the water came up with the wind, ana
down the principal streets rushed a mad
torrent upon houses boats and debris of
every description carried with 1t. While
the tempest was at its height the Bet
Ielini house, the Schlemmer house and
John Sherrills residence took fire and
were burned. The destruction of prop
erty was very great, the less being es-
timated at $250,OOO.

TOM WATSON WILL STEP Dowl
Preparing the Way in His Owr
journal.

Atlanta, Ca, Oct 2.-The publication
IN this weeks issue of Thomas Watson's
peoples party paper of an editorial at
tack on Chairman Marion Butler of the
peoples party national committee, is
considered significant in view of the ru-
mors that Watson may retire from the
ticket. The editorial is as follows:
Attempts have been made to show
that Watson favored fusion in the state
of Indiana This is not correct. Wat
son took the position at the beginning
OK the campaign that no populist could
consistently vote for a single Sewan cleo
tor any more than he could vote for
Hobart elector. He filed with Chairman
Butler a written protest against But
ler's fusion policy. Butler has ignored
Watson's protest and gone steadily for
ward on his own line.
Watson's position is now what II
was when the Georgia state convention
met He is for a straight 'mlddle-of-the-
road ticket. On no other ticket can the
democratic managers be forced to abide
by the st. Louis contract Mr.. Watson's
position has been humiliating and en-
barrassing, and he has been compelled
to submit to policies that he did not ap
