to the Commercial Appeal from Jack

estimate to say that so people have lost
their lives from yesterdays hurricane

News from that portion of the state where
the storm first struck is very Glow

ties which went out this morning have
not returned and it will be tomorrow be-
fore the extent OF damage is known. The
hurricane struck Florida at Cedar Keys,
nd reports show that it passed in it's
path Of destruction over 20 towns and
villages, and that between 80 and 40
people have certainly been killed.

were crowded with people from many
miles around. Excursion trains from all

In Washington.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30,~-The equinoc,
tial I'm last night gave Washington
the t ahaking up it ever had. The
wild W = blew in a rotary, twisting,
wrenching velocity of Is miles an hour.
The rain was driven in foods--it did not
fall. The lightning pierced and lit up
the tossing black clouds and sharp claps
Of thunder contributed to make the
weird caldron. A new brick building,
five stories, on Pennsylvania avenue, No.
1918, was demolished, the ruins falling
upon and crushing the Beatty restaurant
and Kelly's dairy lunch adjoining. No
deaths.
Reports received this morning from the
suburban towns show that great damage
was done throughout the surrounding
country. Small towns suffered greatly.
Great damage is reported in the farming
districts, where all grain in stacks or
shocks had been etrewn over the land.
Many barns had been blown down. The
White house was slightly injured by the
storm, portion of the copper roofing
being stripped off and other damage
done. Trees in the yard were badly
damaged

most serious accident in the port of Chi

the storm,wreckod and sunk half dozen
smaller craft. A number of men had a
narrow escape for their lives, among
them being Capt. McCreary OF the Sea

FTERTHESTORM.

Which Has Never Before Been
Experienced,

Loss in Various Sections Much Greater
Than Was at First Sup
posed

PENSACOLA, Fla, Oct. 1.-Railroad
communication with the eastern and
middle parts of the state has Just been
rc-estabished and narrowing tales are
being received of the West India storm
which swept over the peninsula of Flor.
ida Monday night and Tuesday morn
ing. Itappears the storm left the gulf
and struck the coast about Cedar Keys,
which is said to be almost completely
wrecked. From there it swept in q
northeasterly course, its diameter being
about 40 miles across the state, doing
fearful damage at the towns of Gaines
vile, High Springs, Newberry. Lake
City, Bradford, Callahan and many
others. Brick and frame buildings were
blown down and near Callahan several
children were killed in a school house
which was wrecked. The wind is re-
ported to have reached velocity of 100
miles an hour and there was wide
spread destruction in the path Of the
storm. 1t is impossible yet to learn how
many persons were killed. but it is be-
lieved the dead will be fully 1OO and
many others were injured. Much dam
age is reported at Jacksonville, but no
loss OF life, as the center of the storm
seems to have passed to the north OF
that city. The storm was not felt here,
but after it left the gulf Monday night
high bank of air rushed in from the
north, blowing almost gale and lower
ing the temperature about 25 degrees.
Later reports received tonight show that
the storm was twisting tornado that
moved with great rapidity from the gulf
to the Atlantic coast. In many places
buildings we're wrecked in less than a
minute, and soon afterward the sun was
shining brightly. The loss of property
cannot now be estimated, but it is very
heavy, not only in town, but on the
farms, where crops we're destroyed.

tunity OF showing our appreciation of
the manner in which you have filled the
position Of manager of the Sand Coulee

tion which, under all circumstances, has
been exceedingly pleasant. In all our
traneactions with you relating to our
employment you have always met us in
spirit that indicated your regard for
the rights OF others, and when we parted
it was with increased feelings Of respect.
Believing, az we do, that by your ener-
getic and conservative management you
have not only contributed largely to the
SUCCESS OF the Sand Coulee Coal COM
pany, but materially added to the well
fare and happiness of their employees,
the employees of said company wish to
present to you this watch and chain and
pendant as mark of their esteem.
There are times and circumstances
when acts speak louder than words. The
proposition to present you with this
watch met with such hearty approval
and support as to place us in position
to ask you to adorn your table with this
silver tea service. In your hours of ab.
sence from home, Mrs. Burrell may look
with pardonable pride upon these tokens
OF our esteem, with the assurance that

Pennsylvania Bridge Gone.

LANCASTER, Pa, Sept. 30.--Late this
evening telegraphic and telepaonic COM
munication had beer established with
surrounding counties, and later reports
confirm earlier advices of the wide ex-
tent OF this mornings cyclonic storm.
Every eection Of tho country has been
heard from and the story is that ruin
rode in the wake of the gale. While the
estimate Of the total loss is necessarily
speculative, there does not seem any
doubt but that il will easily reach q
million dollars and may largely exceed
that amount. In this city individual
loesee are, as rule, comparatively
small, but there are hundreds OF
them which will make the aggregate
great The wind roarod through the
streets with noise like thunder, and
houses literally rocked upon their foun-
datione. During tho two hours of terror
which kept large part of the people
awake the air WAS filled with bricks,
stones, slate, timbers and roofs of heavy
sheet iron and tin, while gigantic trees
we're ripped up by the roots and tossed
about almost like toys. The storm out
side the city WAS scarcely less severe, and
of course the destruction OF the Pennsyl-
vania bridge across the Susguehanna at
Columbia overehadowed all else in rela-
tive Importance, The bridge, which com
prised q spans, was completely demol-
ished. 1t was insured for 100000, and
everything WIS carried away except
the stone piers, single iron span
and ono Of the shore spans. The
bridge proper was crushed to pieces. 1t
was lifted bodily off the piers and de-
posted just above in tho water, portion
resting on the piere. Not timber was
left standing, All through freight south
was run over the Columbia bridge and
Frederick division to Baltimore and
other pointe. II is now settled that
there was no loss of life, Hs a search of
the bridge failed to reveal the bodies Of
two men who it was feared, wero on the
bridge when it Was swept away.

shape in the statement that he is certain

Bad Fire in milwaukee,.

MILWAUKEE,, Oct. IA stubborn fire,
which had it's origin in the World Cloth
ing house on Chestnut street, kept the
tiremen fighting fire for three hours this
morning. 1t was one Of tho hardest
struggles the department has had of
late, and almost the entire fire lighting
furce of the city was called out before
tho flames Were Hubducl.
Three stores were burned out, two be-
ing occupied by the clothing house and
the other by William pagchen's crockery
house. The l0as will probably exceed
100000 The volume Of smoke arising
from the fire in the clothing store was
terrific, and the fIcmon
worked at the risk OF their hvoe. Four
of engine company No. , were
overcome and rendered insensibe, but
wore taken out by their comrades in
time to save their lives, though two Of
them were almost dead when carried
from the building.
