HAVOC AT WASHINGTON.
Tremendous Property Damage and the
Loss of One Life

Washington, Oct. 1.-The work of
counting up the loss and repairing the
ravages of the storm continued to- day,
and as reports come in the widespread
character of the damage wrought becomes
apparent. None of the city or surround
ing country have escaped. The lieuten-
ants of the eight police stations each re-
ported to-day on the estimated total dam
age in his precinct, their reports aggre-
eating $433, 500 as the total of the storm
damage within the city. The unroofing
of SO many houses caused brisk demand
for roofing tin and sent the price up.
TIE stock Of tin in the city soon became
exhausted and men were sent to neigh
boring cities to procure additional sup
plies. The only loss of life in the city
was occasioned by the falling of the Al
bert building on Pennsylvania avenue,
from which the DO ly of James Fitzgerald,
an employe of the navy yard, was taken
during the day. Several other persons
were injured in the fall of this building
and to-day charges were made that it
would have withstood the storm had it

The commandant of the United States
naval station at Port Royal, S. c., re.
ports to the Navy Department by mail
(the wires having failed), under date of
yesterday, that the cyclone struck that
place at 11:30 on the Both ultimo, moving
with great velocity from southeast to
northwest and causing much damage to
property in that part OF the country. The
greatest velocity of the storm, fortu-
nately, was of short duration or there
would have Eeen very serious disasters.
The naval station suffered the loss of
roofs, fences and light structures A very
high tide was caused by the wind, caus-
ing the sea to break with great fury over
the wing dams of the dry dock, wharves
and lighthouses, and also driving the
water up to the station in the lowest
places. The early shift of the wind, how
ever, and the turn CT the tide averted
great disaster.
Reports of damage in that vicinity are
coming in. One seaman was drowned
from vessel in the harbor. Two large
schooners ere ashore below the station;
one tug was sunk at the wharf at Beau
fort. The commandant filled the dock
and thus it escaped damage, though the
waves broke heavily over the entrance.
