injured by falling roof in Southville,
died to-day. Riley Williams (colored),
crushed under roof, died tonight.
The injured have all been removed to
the hospitals or their homes. Three are
fatally injured and will die. The fatali-
ties are likely to be much greater when
reports have been received from the sur
rounding country.
The damage TO shipping is heavy. The
steamer Governor Stafford, which left
Beaufort, S. c., yesterday morning, went
ashore on Daufuskie Island and is lying
one hundred yards. high and dry, inland.
The steamer Star went to her assistance
this morning, but has not yet returned.
Much anxiety is felt for the tug Cynthia,
which left here before the storm for Bruins
wick. The barks Cuba and Roenfius,
which drifted from their moorings and
went ashore, it is believed. may be saved.
The schooners, Island City and D. B.
Metcalf, which went ashore on their way
to sea, are not damaged. The bark Kyle
more broke away from her anchorage at
Quarantine and is lying against training
wall half mile away. The loss of small
sailing vessels Is heavy. Upward of
twenty are reported ashore in the marshes
and creeks and on the beach at the mouth
of the river. Most OF these were coasting
vessels plying between Savannah and
neighboring ports. The full extent of the
damage and loss of life will not be known
for several days.
The center of the storm passed east of
Savannah and struck inland north OF here.
The damage on the South Carolina coast
is believed to be heavy, but so far little
loss of life is reported. The rice planta-
tions on the Carolina side of the Savannah
River and along the river west of here
suffered heavily.
The rice in the fields was little in iured.
being covered with water. but the store
houses and mills are wrecked and the rice
stored is total loss. The plantations on
the Ogeechee and Altamahama rivers on
the Georgia side also were heavily
damaged.
The damage in the city will probably
exceed 81, 100000 Hardly building es-
capped, and thousands of houses are roof

HARRISBURG, Pa, Sept. 30.-The
fully realized in this city until daylight,
when the great force of the hurricane,
which swept over this section at 1 o'clock
this morning, was evidenced in the roof
less houses, uprooted trees and damaged
property generally. Hundreds of houses
were unroofed, but not a single human
being was injured amid the frightful crash
ing of houses and falling chImneys. The
opera-house was partially unroofed, and
many windows were broken in churches
and school-housessTrains on the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad were run via Lock haven
for several hours, owing to a landslide
at Mapleton, but regular traffic was estab-
lished this afternoon.
In the surrounding districts much dam
age is reported and many crops are ruined.
Churches were wrecked in several country
places, and at Stolton an overhead bridge
fell across the Pennsylvania railroad. An
express train dashed into the debris a mo-
ment later. The locomotive and several
cars were damaged, but nobody was hurt.
It had been a rsiny windy day, but it
was not until midniyht that the wind as
sumed the violence of gale. 1t lashed
itself into sections of whirlwinds thirty
minutes later, and BY o'clock and for
over an hour after iishowed the teeth of a
small cyclone. Thee were scores of peo-
ple in the city wlo spent the night
after IL o'clock in their cellars praying
that the fate of st. louis might not be in
store for Harrisburg
Conservative estimates of the loss from
the storm in the cit vary from $15O, 900 to
$500, 900.

cHAMBERLAIN'S PERIL.
The British Colonial Secretary Constantly
Guarded BY Detectives During His

SALEM, MASS, Sept. 30.-The publica-
ton of the fact that Right Hon. Joseph
Chamberlain, who has been visiting his
wife's parents at Danvers during the past
month, has been constantly guarded by
detectives during his stay here, caused
considerable excitement, as 1t was well
known that his visit was purely social
one and had no political significance.
Now that the story has leaked out there
is apparently no wish to corral the real
facts, and Mrs. Endicott, mother of Mrs.
Chamberlain, talked with newspaper re-
porter this afternoon regarding the matter.
She said that soon after Mr.. Chamberlain s
arrival in this country the Secret Service
Department at Washington was put in
possession of certain information which
ed them to send two of their agents to
he Endicott estate, and they remained
there, accompanying Mr.. Chamberlain
wherever he went, and they left with him
for New York What the Departments
information is is not known.

In picturesque Laurel Grove Cemetery,
monuments and gravestones are over
turned, and in some instances the vaults
are broken in. At the suburban villages
and resorts summer residences were olown
away and pleasure steamers and yacnts
were driven ashore, in some instances high
and dry on the low bluffs.
The historic Bethesda Orphan Home,
founded by George Whitefield a century
and half ago, seven miles IN the country
from Savannah, was heavily oamaseu'
but no loss of life occurred.
Three streetcar lines started operatlohs
at noon to-day. The others are stiil tleu
up, and the cars are standing on tracks al
over the city. The loss to the electric
lines is estimated at 100000. The electric
light, telephone and police and fire alarm
systems are all down. The Western Union
Telegraph Com pany has forces of men all
along its lines.
The damage TO the railroads Will loot
up over $250,0o0. The wreckage OF the
Plant system passenger depot and the
Georgia and Alabama Railroad freight
warehouses has been partially cleared
away, and the tracks are passabie ana
trains are running on time.
Lighthouse-keeper Evans reached the
city on boat late this afternoon with the
first news from Tybee Island at the mouth
of the Savannah River. The storm there
was severe. All OF the hotels are damaged,
and the pavilions of the Hotel Tybee and
South End Hotel, both large structures,
| were carried away.
| The Chattanoochse clubhouse, at the
| south end of the beach, was unroofed.
| The cottages fronting the beach for dis
tance of four miles are all damaged.
The sea was driven over the low islands
between Tybee and the city, and it is be-
| lieved the Tybee railroad is washed away
| for distance of several miles. The road
was constructed on the marsh and the loss
will be heavy. There is believed to have
| been no loss of life on Tybee.
A special to the Morning News from
Burroughs (Ga.) says: The storm here
| yesterday started at 10 o'clock and lasted
until ILLS o'clock. Trees were blown in
| the woods and the roads. About fifteen
| houses in different places were blowu
down. ALI the stacks in the rice fields are
blown down. The new Ogeechee Baptist
church at Shiloh and the new Episco-
palan church are blown to the ground
| Three lives were lost and several persons
crippled.
| The loss is estimated at $4,000. Every
| person had to leave his house and go out
into the open field to save his lie. Nearly
every telegraph wire out of Savannah il
still prostrated. Storm news was sem
this morning to the News from many
points in Georgia and Florida by mail.
! The storm appears to have struck land
at Tampa and swept northward to Savan
nah, thence jumping on the north. The
velocity of the wind was unusually high
even for tornado, but its duration al
each place was short-about an hour. Had
the storm been long continued everything
| in its path would have been leveled and
| the loss of life must OF necessity have beer
| heavy.
Brunswick was wrecked by the hurri'
cane. The property loss is estimated al
between $3.50, 600 and $5o0.OO0. The loss oi
life is four so far as known. The victims
| are all colored.

ranged over the lake last night and part of
to-day. 1t seems to have expended most
OF It's fury over the upper half of Lake
Michigan. The loss of life go far reported
IS small, four men having been drowned
oy the sinking of the steambarge Sumatra
at Milwaukee. Much minor damage was
Done to shipping in Milwaukee, Grand
maven, chicago and other ports, and the
masters OF such steamers as were out in
the lake during the night report one of
the toughest passages they have ever ex-
perienced.
OWlng to the lateness of the season and
threatening conditions which prevailed
Ior twenty-four hours before the storm
ofoke most OF the sailing fleet was tied up
IN oiiferent ports, Chicago harbor being
especially crowded. This fact doubtless
explains the small list OF casualties.
Along the lake shore in front of this city
all night and this forenoon the waves
uashed over the seawall many feet. In
the harDor yachts and schooners were
tossed about like corks, the waves dashing
over the breakwater many feet high. One
lumber schooner dragged her anchors dur
ing the forenoon, and before tugs man
aged to get her under control had crashed
into and sank number of small craft.
Those on board the different vessels were
rescued, however.
Inc steamer Atlanta of the Goodrich
line when making her dock this morning
AFTER very rough passage from Milwaukee
was thrown violently against the pilinS.
The port side of the steamers planking
was crushed in for length of twenty-five
feet. The steamship City OF Milwaukee
from st. Joseph, with a few passengers
and large cargo of fruit, arrived minus
her upper mainmast, which was broken
off during the night,and also having
portion OF her bulwarks stove in.
Captain Stewart says the rain fell in tor
rents all night and the wind, which blew
furious gale, seemed to whip around
from all dire ections without the slightest
notice. When this side of the lake was
reached the steamship had to haul around
three times before the entrance Of the
harbor could be made.
The big tug S. Nj. Fischer of the Lake
Michigan line left South Chicago yester-
day morning with three barges in tow.
When the storm struck them last night 1t
was determined to run back to port, and
the tug succeeded in getting inside the
| Chicago preakwater early this morning
with two of the barges. The other broke
her lines about two miles out and could
| not be picked up. Her anchors had been
let go, however. before she broke away
completely and she was sighted this after
noon apparently riding safely. 1t is
feared, however, that if the wind freshens
again tonight she will roll SO that the
cargo will be pitched into the lake.
Dispatches from many other lake points
tell substantially the same story. On Lake
| Superior the storm does not appear to have
been SO severe, although at Duluth a
36mile gale was reported.

RICHMOND, Va, Sept. 30.-The heavy
rain at Stanton on Tuesday ended tnat
evening in the bursting of the dam at
Lake Atake, the waters of which rushed
into the creek which runs through the
city, flooded the lower section, destroying
vast deal of property and causing loss
of several lives. The Wilkes building was

report great losses to the farmers. The
loss at Staunton is estimated at $3.50, 600.

unsuccessful in kicking for goal.
Score: Townies 4, Punahou 0.
A kick off was again made
by the Punahous. After the bail
was carried back and forth for
few minutes, the students lost ten
yards by an off side play. After
this the ball was kept in Punahou
territory until the flush, at 5:l5.
No one was seriously hurt. Men
on both sides had to lie down
quite often on account of having
their wind knocked out, but were
in the scrimmage again in few
seconds. The students showed
great skill and courage through
out, and the Townies put up a
hard, honest game. The band was
stationed in the grand stand, and
played at intervals during the
contest.

elements eligible for the ,Ameri-
can franchise will be necessary to
back requisition from Hawaii
for admission to the Union.
Closer political union can be
promoted in no better way, pro-
badly, than by more intimate
commercial relations. A complete
reciprocal exchange of products
and manufactures, free of duties,
would give a mighty impetus to
the cause of Hawaiian incorpora
ton into the Union as a State. 1t
would display before the eyes of
Hawaiians the material advan-
tages of having their country's
welfare bound up irrevocably
with that of the great Republic.
Also, it would give the planting
fraternity time to set their house in
order for the abolition of contract
labor. The objection may be
raised to any proposal for widen
ing the scope Of the reciprocity
treaty, that the opening of that
subject at ell night imperil even
the existence of the treaty as it
now stands This is an obi ection
that should notweigh for moment.
If there can be mustered in Con-
gress a majority that would knock
Hawaii down for presuming to
propose an improvement of her
present relations with the United
States, then it would be well for
the government and people OF
these islands to meet the shock
and test the country's competency
to exist independently first as last.
In the meantime the campaign on
this side OF the water, on behalf of
the cause of complete union,
should take the form of systematic
endeavor for reconciling all who
remain unconyinced to the idea of
Hawaii's manifest destiny.

TUE STRANGER WIS.
boat Race Between Two Myrtle
Club Crews.


An exciting boat race took place
yesterday forenoon between the
Alice NJ. and Stranger of the
Myrtle Boat Club. The start was
made off the Marine Railway, the
course being round the Spar buoy
and back. 1t was close contest
to near the Spar, with the Stran.
ger in the lead, after turning
which the Stranger crew rowed
easily towards the finish, the
Alice NJ. crew digging in a quar-.
ter of a mile astern.
Arriving at the boat house, the
defeated crew made all sorts of
excuses, but the truth was they
weren't in it." The fact that
the winning boat is heavier than
the other only added more glory
for the crew. The crews were as
follows:
Stranger .Sorenson (stroke),
W. Lyle, Geo. Clarke, L. Scott,
Geo. Martin, j. Logan, and W.
Love (coxswaiu).
Alice NH. Giles (stroke),
Bert Petrie, W. Thrum, Tom
King, Ed. Paris, Sam Lyle, and
Charles Crane (coxswain).
Harry Wilder started the race
with a rife shot, announcing the
finish in the same way. Frank
Mcintyre acted as Judge.
