EQUINOXTIAL STORM.
FLORIDA TOWNS SUFFER MOST
TERRIBLE DEVASTATION.
All Timber in the Turpentine District
Blown Down and the Industry De-
stroyed Fishermen Drowned.

Jacksonville, Fla, Oct. 2.-Reliable
news of the storm from the western
part of Levy and Alchua counties have
just reached Jacksonville. Not less
than 200 families were left destitute
and scores of injuries have been re,
ported with over thirty fatalities inv
Levy county. The towns of Tanning,
Needmore, Yulor and Judson were al
most entirely destroyed and numerous
residents killed Reports from Baker,
SIyvanee. Nassau and Columbia coun-
ties confirm the story of death and de-
struction related in these dispatches
last night. The death list has been
increased nearly dozen.
Columbia Jared badly. All the coun-
try south of Lake City is devastated.
In the Caleb Marcum neighborhood
scarcely residence or house was left
standing. In the vicinity of Payne
and Mount Tabor post-offices the de-
struction was great but accounts are
yet meagre.
Fort White Jared badly, all churches,
school-houses, many stores and resi-
dences being blown down and many
people injured. From Mikesville and
other southern points nothing has yet
been heard. Toward Live Oak the
storm did but little damage. Beyond
Wellborn to the country between Lake
City and Wellborn much timber and
nearly all fences were Frustrated. Ha-
gen station, ten miles southeast from
Lake City, was wiped out. stores de-.
molished and residences destroyed. At
Lake Butler, further down the line
the destruction was almost as great.
Lacrosse was almost wiped out of ex-
istence. Numbers Of injuries and ia
talities are reported from the vicinity
of these variousSl Alities, but news is
not of definite ntoracter.
Along the FLORIDA Central and Pen
insular Railway from Lake City to
MacClenny the damage was great, that
section taking they center Of the storm.
The cotton crop pr that portion of it
still in the field< is greatly damaged
and in many places almost entirely
destroyed. Sugak cane is everywhere
prostrated Of every s KIND

Keys, and not one ON these --wlLZfer
run another charge. all the timber be-
ing destroyed. Thisi throws out of
employment many people.
Exclusive of hundreds of spongers
supposed to have been drowned off
Cedar Keys, the death list in this
state proper, bids fair to reach 100
and the property loss will run into the
millions.
Reports received from Cedar Keys
tell story of great damage to prop
erty and loss Of life there from fire
and flood. Early rumors from there
spoke of Cedar Keys having been WHIP
ed out but fortunately later and more
authentic reports show this to be an
exaggeration. As it is, however, fif-
teen persons are reported to have been
drowned. Bodies are being recovered
from along the coast and many fisher
men who went out Monday night have
not been heard from since the storm.
1t is feared the fatalities will exceed
the number already reported.

have never held Federal office. 1t
was further agreed that both factions
should be directed to select their COM
missionerS from the executive COM
mittees of either side.
Wednesday morning it was rumOr-
ed that Chairman Herwig had select
ed the following: Pat Creagh, +. o..
Minor. +. w. Gibson. c. w. Boothby,
and z. III. Walt, If this slate is
correct, and it was given out serious
ly, Mr.. Herwig has dewey led a di-
rect claim to be consideySJ a close
competitor. with b. w Cason. as
the ''star" joker of the -fy. All of
the five metioned have been lifelong
office holders under divers Republic
can governments. ever since the war;
and the record of at least three of
them, "Oily Cannon" Boothby, when
state superintendent of education
during the era of negro dominion, is
particularly offensive to all Louisiana
ians.
Whether Captain Donnelly will con-
sent to accept Chairman Herwig's
selections is not known yet, but it is
even betting that he will emphatically
decline to treat with the five persons
named. Who the Howell faction,
will nominate will be decided upon to-
day at a meeting of the planters ex-
ecutive committee TO be held this af-
ternoon. Should the retroactive
office holding clause be maintained
it will shut out Gov. Yarmouth from
being one of the treaty makers, and
thereat the Herwig people will be re-
lieved. for if there be one of the
Howell following dreaded by the reg
ulars it is Henry Clay Yarmouth.
Ex-Sheriff G. G. Duson was around
Howell headquarters. While non

Judging by Mr.. Duson's conversation,
it might be inferred that it is not so
sure a thing that the eX-sheriff will
accept the nomination from the Re
publicans-he can get it If he wants

cans Of the Sixth are trifie discour-

A NOVELTY INDEED.
Cheers OF Mckinley Hosts In Chicago
To Be Heard Through The
Audiphones.

Audiphones.
Chicago, ILL.,, Oct. 2.-Echoes of the
general gold standard parade in this
city on Chicago day October 9, will be
heard from the lakeside to the sea-
board. Electrical science has made
such a feature possible. The plan is
to place the transmitters at the best
vantage point. Audiphones at the
other end of the line in some localities
will be erected so that the multitudes
in other cities who assemble to hear
the novelty, can distinctly hear the
shouts from Chicago.
Men will be placed at each trans
mitter in the city to announce the
names of each organization and mem
bers of division, as the parade passes,
similar to the prelude in the phono-
graphs. Major Mckinley will listen
to this music of the masses at his Can
ton home. In far off New Jersey Mr..
Hobart will also have his ear to the
phone.
At New York Republican headquar-
tiers the committeeman and staff will
assemble, to hear the cheers of the

20 KAIULANps PORTRAIT.

Maiden OF the soulful eyes, oft have
sung to many
Maidens fair, but none 30 rare as
you, sweet Kaiulani,
Bright daughter of tropic cline,
your bounteous mother Nature
Bestowed on you her loveliness in
every perfect feature.
All, sure, those orbs bespeak hea,t
where Love is soft reclning;
The light is from his merry eyes
that in their depths is shining:
Those limpid depths, wherein my
soul, by Love SO long neglected,
Might gaze and fnd the sweetest
thoughts in glowing tints re.
fected;
The palms that grace your native
isle, the foliage ever vernal,
The stars that deck the azure skies,
resplendent re aud eternal,
The silvery moon, the fragrant
flowers, the songbirds blythely
singing,
And every bliss that Nature holds,
your face TO me is bringing!
The mountains green are grand to
view, with clouds above then
sailing,
That add to their immensity, their
SUBMITS partly yelling;
The crystal streams that from their
hearts are ever softly yelling,
,,ln Oh in
being ara musically telling.
The radient rainbows in the skies,
the dew-drops in the morning,
I he beauties OF the setting sun, the
freshness of the dawning,
With ,ender-st, sweetest ravishments
they endless y inbue me,
And in your eyes | find the joys they
fir. ely speak unto me
Yet, do I smile to think such guile
is in a picture living:
A portrait OF your gracious Self-to
set my spirit grieviDg;
But here me thinks / fondly view
that which I'm ever seeking:
The gem refined, the soul and mind,
beyond all language speaking
Oh, shadow OF lovely form; a
graceful, budding woman,
You WOO me with subtle power,
transcendent, superhuman.
Alasl tits but an idle dream, and one
OF very many,
Yet, how can one help loving you =
you Siren, Kaiulani!
