TROUBLE ON THE GREAT LAKES.
Wild Wind Kicks Up q Big Sea and One
boat Goes Down.

Chicago, Oct. 1.-The storm of Tues
day night and yesterday kicked up a
terrific sea on the great lakes, but up
TO this writing but four lives are re-
ported lost-those by the laundering of
the barge Sumatra, loaded with rail-
way iron, which went down like a shot
off the government pier Ct Milwaukee.
She had been constantly leaking and
the crew had hard work TO keep her
from sinking all night. Off Milwaukee
she got in the trough of the sea and her
matches were washed off. She whistled
for help and the tug Simpson was sent
to her.
Before the tug could get alonside the
Sumatra went down, carrying to
death Arthur Burnsted, Charles Hem
mer, Patrick Peterson and Peter Ander-
son-all of West Bay City. Mich. The
life saving crew had the hardest and
most perilous kind of work to save the
remainder OF the crew.
At Chicago a schooner broke from
her moorin2s in the harbor and did
good deal of damage to a dozen or so
yachts by being driven in among them
and into collision with them.

Bryan's Letter Given Out on His Arrival
at 81. Louis-His Reception There.
st. Louis, oct. Son his arrival here
Candidate William j. Bryan gave out
for publication his letter Of acceptance
of the Populst nomination for pres
ident In his letter he says that he
fully appreciates the breadth of patri-
otism which has actuated the members
of the Peoples party who, in order
to consolidate the sentiment in favor of
bimetallsm, have been willing TO go
outside of party lines and support as
their candidate enc already nominated
by the Democratic party and also by
the Silver party. 1t behooves
us as lovers of our country and friends
of American institutions 10 lay aside
for the present such differences as may
exist among US on minor questions
in order that our strength may be
united in supreme effort" TO put the
government in the hands of the friends
of silver. He also says: While diff
suites always arise in the settlement
of the details of any plan of co'-opera-
ton between distinct political organi-
cations, i am sure that the advocates
of bimetallism are so intenseblyin earn
est that they will be able TO devise some
means by which the free silver vote
may be concentrated upon one electoral
ticket in each state"
Bryan arrived here late IN the after
noon, and after refreshing the inner
man at the Southern hotel was driven
10 the Auditorium, where the view
from the stage was that of a literal
sea of faces" When Bryan appeared
he was greeted with a storm Of cheers.
He looked as fresh and as healthful as
though his time for some months past
had been spent IL quite home life in
stead of an almost continuous success
sion of speaking and travelling. While
removing his overcoat the crowd kept
up a continuous roar. The ladies on the
platform became afYected with enthus-
iasm, and at last stood upon their
chairs, each seeking to out-shout and
out-wave the other. IT was fifteen
minutes before Bryan began 10 speak.
After the speaking at the Auditorium
an went TO the South Side park. where
he addressed a large crowd of work
ing men.

W. j. BRYAN left st. Louis last night on
a special train for Memphis at 8 o'clock.
During the day he spent the most of the
time in bed, recuperating from the
fatigues of the past week He did not
arise until o'clock. From that hour un-
til the time for the departure of his spe-
cial train he was besieged by visitors who
congratulated on the extent and over
whelming enthusiasm of the audience he
addressed Saturday night.

THE DESTRUCTION AT SAVANNAH.
Loss of Life Reaches Eleven and of Prop
erty One Million Dollars.

Savannah, Ga, Oct. 1.-The hurri-
cane which swept over Savannah Tues
day cost nearly a dozen lives and en-
tailed a financial loss of nearly 81 ,o0O,-
600. Each report received is worse than
at first. 1t was thought that only one
death would be the result of the hurri-
cane, but the number has increased un-
til there are eleven persons reported
dead. The following is a list of the
dead: j. w. WallaceJohnston; Capt. c.
+. Murray. of the tug Robert Turner
and the followin, all colored-Mary War
ing, Eliza Betty, Fannie McFall, Ruby
Williams. Julie Jackson. two deck
hands of the Robert Turner, an I'M
known man and an infant.
"A great many persons were injured.
The most seriously hurt are: Fannie
Jackson, back broken; w. f. Thomp-
son, back broken; Alb Farnham, leg
broken; James Smith. seriously hurt
struck by falling timbers; s. Roddy
Pritchard, hurt by falling bricks; Ben
West, colored, struck by falling barn;
Joseph Hamilton, colored struck by
falling barn; John Wilson, hit by fall
ing chimney; John Sheehan, struck by
falling timbers.
Many prominent buildings and hun
dreds of residences are badly wrecked,
and the most beautiful trees in the city
are down. The loss to shipping will
amount TO over 100000. The most seri-
Gus casualties were the capsizing in
mid-stream in the Savannah river of
the Norwegian bark Rosenius: the
grounding of the Morgan boat Cab;
drifting of the Norwegian bark r. d.
Metcalf, and the total loss OF the tug
Robert Turner. The steamer Governor
Stafford, of the Beach a. Miller line. is
aground in Copper river, and small
craft has suffered much, many naptha
launches and small sailing vessels hav-
ing gone out to sea. The Tybee rail-
road is badly damaged, many bridges
being out of plumb. Tybee, Thunder
bolt, Montgomery and Isle OF Hope, all
prominent resorts near this city, were
hurt by the blow.
The wind began to rise at 1880
and at L. o'clock was blowing at forty
eight miles an hour. At 1918 a veloci-
ty of sixty-six miles had been reached
and the air was literally filled with
flying debris. At that time the instru-
ment at the observers office was blown
out of working order. A few minutes
afterward the wind had reached a
velocity OF eighty miles an hour or
over. At noon the barometer had
dropped to 1920 and at 1890 1t was

THE MAJOR AwAKENs REFRESHED
After His Record Breaking Day of Re-
ceptions and Speeches.

Canton, o., Oct. 5.-After a week
closed with sixteen speeches on Satur-
day Major Mckinley arose at the usual
hour yesterday morning entirely re-
freshed by the nights sleep, and morn
ing service at his church found him
in his accustomed pew. Engagements
with delegations are now booked as
late as Oct. "a with but two open dates
between now and then. The schedule
made out last night for the ensuing
week shows more delegations than an
nounced at the beginning of any previ-
Gus week. Definite arrangements have
been made for thirty-four distinct par
ties, Michigan, Indiana and New York
being conspicuous in the list, with
about the usual quota from Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio. The south will be
represented by two crowds and the
week opens with one from Missouri.
Saturday broke the record of presi-
Dental campaigns. II was the most
notoble day for delegations so far ex-
perienced. In the enormous crowds
present twelve states were represented
by delegations ranging from small
clubs of wheelmen TO many train loads
of citizens representing all interests.
Inc EXPERIMENTATION began early ana
continued until late, special trains ar
irving at short intervals from early
morning till late in the afternoon. Ma
jor Mckinley addressed sixteen audi
ences on his lawn. All day the streets
were filled with marching clubs, gaily
uniformed bicycles. bands and drum
corps, and kaleidoscope effect was
ever in view with the shifting banners.
flags, streamers. decorations and other
campaign paraphernalia.
The most elaborate demonstration Of
the day was made by the wheelmen
under the auspices of the National
wheelmen's Mckinley and Hobart club.

Much Damage Done to Suburban Property
In That Neighborhood.
Washington, Oct. 1.-Reports from
the suburban towns about Washington
show that great damage was done
throughout the surrounding country by
Tuesdays storm. At the Roman Cath
Ollie university, just outside the city,
the domitory in process of construction
was demolished. At Brookland. a few
miles out, the town hall was partly de-
sroyed and many other buildings were
unroofed and otherwise damaged. On
the outskirts of the city few localities
escaped. The train shed at Alexandria
was blown down and the debris is
across the tracks. In this city the pa
pal legation was unroofed and the Chi
nese legation was damaged about ST.
500. Communication by telegraph and
telephone with the outside world is alb
solutely stopped.
The White House was slightly in
jured by the storm, a portion of the
copper roofing being stripped off and
other damage done. The tall Flagstaff
from which the signal is given TO the
city that the president is in town dis
appeared completely. In the beautiful
grounds surrounding the houses TWEEN

while fully fifty of the surviving trees
suffered the loss Of their tops and prin-

defaced.

years. 1t played havoc with property

RUIN ON THE WINGS OF THE GALE
Summary Of the Tempest Havoc Played la
the keystone State.


Lancaster. Pa, Oct. Late last even
ing telegraphic and telephone COM
munication had been established with
the surrounding counties and the later
reports confirm the earlier advices OF
the wide extent OF yesterday morn
ing's cyclonic storm. Every section OF
the country has been heard from, and
the story is that ruin rode in the wake
OF the gale. While an estimate of the
total loss is necessarily speculative
there does not seem any doubt that
IL will easily reach s1,000.000. and many
largely exceed that amount. In this
city the individual losses are, as a
rule, comparatively small: but there
are hundreds of them, which will make
the aggregate great.
The storm outside the city was scarce
ly less severe and OF course the de-
struction OF the Pennsylvania railroad
bridge across the Susquehanna at Co
lumbia overshadowed all else in re-
lative Importance. The bridge, which
comprised twenty-seven spans, and
cost nearly 100000, was completely
demolished. II was insured for $780,
600 and everything was carried away
except the stone piers, the single iron
span and one of the shore spans. 1t
is settled that there was no loss Of
life, as search of the bridge has failed
TO reveal the bodies OF two men whom
IL was feared were on the bridge when
il was swept away by the hurricane.
Five miles above Reading the cast
house of the Temple furnace at Tenn
pie station was blown down by the
wind and nearly dozen workmen were
buried in the ruins. The men were
pinned down by the heavy timbers,
and II was some time before they
could be reached. Two men were killed
Edward Rismiller and Samuel Trout
and five severely injured. At Ma
talie the storm shook down a stove
in a tenement, set the house on fire
and burned six tenements. With these
houses were burned six sleeping chill
dren whom il was impossible to reach
in time TO get them out.
