A VICTORY FOR AMERICAN AU
THORS.


The appellate division, supreme
court of New York, handed down, all
judges concurring, on July 81, de-
cision of immense Importance to ev-
cry American author, owing to the
copyright of the work produced.
In case No. $40, Richard Henry Saw
age, VS.. Frank Tennyson Nicely, the
decision grants to the author the
right to examine the publisher, on
oath, before trial, with full access to
all papers and original vouchers in
cases where fraud is alleged in the
Withholding of proper information.
Justice Barrett signed an order for
the examination, with a subpoena du-
ces tecum of the defendant in this
case. This ruling is final expression

portant than the Paul Bourged de-
cision In France. That only gave
access to the accounts FOR ten years.

ton of every disputed item, as well
as full access to all books, papers and
original vouchers. There will be some
interesting analogous cases to follow
shortly where publishers have simply
rendered their own transcripts at
pleasure.

did not rage a sufficient length of time,
and the wind and tide were not in proper
conjunction to raise the water in the river
to the height which it reached in the
two former storms. For the same rea-
son the rice planters, although their losses
are serious, are generally believed not
to have suffered as greatly as in 1893. 1t
is not believed that the banks are broken
to any great extent, or that the rice
uncut and in stacks has been washed
away, although great damage has un-
doubtedly been done to the crop in the
field. For one thing, a much larger part
of the crop had been harvested than IN
1898, the storm occurring over a month
later.
The storm made no well defined sweep.
It was neither a tornado nor a cyclone,
in either the ordinary or scientific accept
ance of those terms. 1t was simply
general storm, with it's effect we'll dis
tributed over a limited area. Every
portion of the city and county felt
its effects almost equally. Wherever
there were trees to be uprooted or build
ings to be damaged, the work was done.
In Savannah there are, this morning
several thousand roo1ess houses, 1t
would be impossible to say how many,
while thousands of trees and huge limbs
obstruct the parks and squares.
The work of the storm was felt in
every direction, Churches, school houses,
public buildings, railway depots and
warehouses, business buildings and priv
ate residences suffered alike. Among the
principal buildings wrecked or seriously
damaged are the Duffy Street
Baptist church, St. Philips Afri-
can Methodist Episcopal church
(colored), on New street, the
Plant system passenger depot and ware
houses, the Central railroad warehouses,
st. Patricks school, the Georgia Hussars
club, Hendy hall at Bryan and West
Broad Streets the city market, the Elec-
trio railway power house and sheds, the
Vale Royal mills, Conner, Hull & Co.'S

building is more severely hurt by this
blow than it was by the storm of three
years ago. Five chimneys were blown
from the top OF the building to the
ground, one of them falling through a
roof on a rear piazza. Some of the fall-
ing bricks fell through the glass roof of
the sun parlor. A colored glass transom
was blown from above one of the DOORS
and a large plate glass in another door
was smashed to pieces. The ceiling of
some thirty or more rooms on the top
floor were so badly wet that the plaster
ing fell off in many places, and here and
there there was considerable other small
damage. The company, however, is COW
cred by storm insurance, and will, there
fore, sustain no serious loss,
The Georgia Hussars building was Sc
riously damaged. The roof on the east
ern side was torn off, and a portion of
the wall was broken down One of Nhe big
brick chimneys was cracked in tyAo, but
fortunately did not fall. A portion of the
wall of the addition which is now going
up was thrown down. This, however,
is the contractors loss Architect A. S.
Eichberg estimates the damage to the
building at S1,500.
The northeastern gable of the odd Fell

The Savannah Female Orphan Asylum
building. at South Broad and West

These are some of the most serious re-
suits In the southern section, but. innum-
erable minor losses were sustained bY
others. In many cases where the reaf
loss was slight, the loss to the owners
was great, for Il represented their all. In
the poorer and negro sections many houses
were unroofed, and a great quantity or
household effects injured by the storm
accompanying rain.
In the section west Of West Broad
street and south Of the Hall street exten-
sion, the destructive power Of the wini
was as great, as evinced by the unroofed

scene of general wreck and devastation,
In addition to the trees which blockadad
the streets in every direction, tin roofs
were scattered around promiscuously and
piles of brick and mortar Uttered the side
walks. Almost every business building
suffered to some extent. the majority los
ing some portion of the tin roofing Few
plate glass windows escaped.
The city exchange lost a portion of Its
tin roof the Kelly building, close by, was
damaged while across the streets the roof
over the telephone exchange, in the Sor-
rel building, was damaged and a mass
of brick and mortar tumbled into the
street. The rear wall of the burned build
ing of the A. b. Hull & Co. fell In on River
street, smashing freight car beneath.
The roofs of all the building in that
section suffered TO a slight extent. The
greatest damage on Bay street, west of
the exchange, was probably to the Faw-
cett and Solomon buildings, at he corner
of Jefferson street. The roof was torn
off the Fawcett building and hurled
across the street, against the building of
Henry Solomon & Sons, breaking in a
portion of the wall The false front of
the Solomon building was also blown out
by the wind. Misfortune seems to pur-
sue Mr.. Hull He had just secured the
Fawcett building after his recent fire,
and begun putting in new stock. He
had about 5000 worth of new goods
there which are considerably damaged
by water. In addition, the roof of Mr..
Hun's handsome residence, on CASTOR
street, was torn of.
Hendy hail. at Bryan and West Broad
streets, was demolished, the whole of the
third story being taken Off clean. Mohr
Bros. conducted their pantaoon factory
on the second story of the building hay
ing fifteen to twenty girls employed. All
the employees were gotten out before the
building caved in. Firemen Tom Mckay,

work in getting the girls out of the build

up to the second floor for the purpose OF
rescuing her. They could find no one,
but while searching, a mass of bricks and
mortar came down on them. Mckay was
the worst hurt being badly cut about the
head and his hip injured. II was thought
at first that he was killed, but this was
not the case DIR. Norton was called, and
dressed his wounds, after which he was

cleared off slowly, but surely and about

tors had a clear sky and sailed forth.

crowds, just walking around to see what

enough to secure carriages drove outside

Foundations.
In the southern and southwestern por-
tions of the city the effects OF the storm
were not so disastrous as affecting prop
erty, principally on account of the lower
buildings. but the greatest loss Of life was
sustained there. Many dwellings, out
houses and fences were blown down, and
but few houses escaped with no damage at
all. Some had chimneys blown down, and
these Were almost invariably those on the
south sides. and were often left lying upon
the roofs as they fell. The gable roofs OF
the frame house OF the extreme southern
portion of the city especially emphasized
this chimney phase of the damage, for
the gables furnished protection for the
chimneys on the north sides.
Great piles of tin roofing were scattered
about the streets, as in the other sections,
and, where the wind could get full play,
as on the commons it would take up the
tin and carry it for several hundred
yards until its course was stopped by the
obstruction offered by some other house
or still-standing fence.
The streets were impossible in many
places, and teams, in attempting to travel
them would often have to turn and seek
some other route to their destinations,
The electric light wires were down and
also the trolley wires, they in many
places supporting great swinging boughs
that had caught upon them
The shed OF the city and Suburban
Street Railway Company was blown down
with nearly a dozen cars under IT. Some
of these were demolished while others
sustained little damage. The sheds at
the repair shop, about a quarter Of a mile
beyond the car shed on Whitaker street,
were also blown down and several cars
that were under them, were crushed.
Among these were three new cars that
have just been built, though they were
not as badly injured as some of the older
and less costly ones.
The house of NJ Einsinger, al Second and
Whitaker streets, was blown into a heap.
The owner, fortunately, knowing It's un-
safe condition, had just left It, when the
crash came and sought safety in store
across the way.

Several of the ventiiators were blown

was done there.
There was no serious damage done along
