BRUNSWICK, Ca, Cct 4.-During
the tropical hurricane of Sunday tidal
wave was driven in from the sea and
inundated for an average depth Of five
feet practically every business house
and warehouse i'm this city.
Conservative estimates place the prop
erty loss at $500. 900. though when the
details are all in the figures may be
considerably shaded either way. The
Mallory Steamship and Southern rail-
way docks were under water four feet.
In the residence section of the city the
water was from two to eight feet deep.
There was a full sweep of wind and wa
ter from the ocean into and across the
city.
Two fatalities in Brunswick and one
few miles out OF the city have been
reported. Those in the city were negro
children. Their parents are missing and
may have been drowned. A few miles
out Of town Sterritt Aiken. colored. WAS
killed by falling bricks blown from a
chimney.
Meager reports from the sea islands
on the coast are far from reassuring.
At Jekyll island, where the clubhouses
of New York millionaires are situated,
much damage has been done. Dixville,
a suburb of Brunswick. inhabited by ne
groes was inundated and the destruc-
tion is almost complete. No lives were
lost there.
Five vessels are ashore in Brunswick
harbor, two being the Norwegian barks
Record and Louise, one an American
schooner and two valuable pilot boats.
On the docks were hundreds of thou
sands of feet OF lumber and cross ties
and naval stores. which viii be washed
away. Nearly all the docks suffered
from lifting. While the water was do
ing it's damage underneath the wind
was playing havoc overhead.
Several fronts of brick buildings were
blown partly out and the rain poured
through in torrents. Every church in
the city was damaged either by water
or wind. All electric wires were pros
trated. Fires in locomotives in and neal
the city were put out by the driving
sheets of water

There are tricks in all trades, but
true story related to me by the cashier
of an uptown pharmacy unhesitating-
ly yields the palm to that Of the drug
gist, says a New York correspondent Of
the Pittsburgh Dispatch. Comment
on the brisk demand for soda water
caused the young man TO remark
Eyes, that fountain ispopulnr with the
residents of this neighborhood. not
withstanding the fact that the queer
est substitute for the beverage was
passed over the counter on one Of our
recent hot nights. Our cream gave
out, and as the dairies were closed, we
were at our wits ends TO assuage the
thirst of the crowd. After some dis
cussion the proprietor suddenly
slipped downstairs. Tie soon returned
with n can and proceeded to empty
its contents into the fountain. In

CONTRARY STEPHEN TRoGILL.
And the one Occasion Upon which
lie Is Said 20 Have Made "a
slight Concession.

"I suppose" said Col. Calliper, that
among contrary men my old friend
Stephen Trogill, who formerly lived in
Storlville Center, VT, would easily
have stood first He never agreed with
anybody or anything, and it was said
of him that he had never made even
the slightest concession TO anybody,
except upon one occasion. But, con-
trary and exasperating as he was, he
was nevertheless source of pride TO
his fellow citizens. who regarded him
as townspeople are likely TO regard
any one of their number who has at
tracted public attention by achieving
remarkable success, or by the mani
festation of some remarkable quality.
And even the one concession that he
was reported TO have made was Of
such nature and made under such
circumstances, as, instead of oflessening
their regard for him, still further com
mended him to their approval
"As they used to tell the story in
Storkville Center, Mr.. Trogill had once
in some way found himself in place
where, as he stood looking about, he
was approached by parsonage whom
he recognized instantly from the pic;
lures he had seen Of him, and who halt
ed alongside of him and spoke:;
'Um-m-you find IL pretty warm
here, Mr.. Trogill? this parsonage said.
"And the answer that heightened
storlSville Center's regard for Uncle
Stephen was;
80, yes. ! suppose you would
call this kind o. summery."

WANE OF NEW YORK.
The Great Metropolis Fast Losing Her
Commercial Prestige.

ALBANY, n. Y, Feb. 6.-The annual re-
port of State Engineer Adams devotes much
space to the commerce of the State. Elabo-
rate tables have been compiled from the
records of the general government and 9TH
er sources dating back 200 years. giving the
values of the trade between the several
American colonies and Great Britain up to
the beginning of the revolutionary war, and
after that time and up to date the values of
exports from the leading Atlantic and Gulf
States. Mr. Adams says that the port of
New York, which third of century ago
commanded 73 per cent. of the total exports
of the Nation, to-day commands but 81 per
cent. OF them. Statistics presented show
that New York's foreign commerce has
never been so low last year since 1850.
1t is in her exports that New York's COM
mercial losses have occurred In imports
she almost holds her own, at two-thrds of
the Nations total. In exports she has fall
en- from two-thirds to a little more than
one-third of the whole. From 1880 to 1897
the Nations foreign commerce increased
$500 100000 in value During that time New
York's increased $40. .OO0. 900. Bostons $6S OOO,-
COO. Galveston's $29, ,00O. COO, and New OrIeans's
$17, ,OOO, ,OOO
These and similar timely and telling sta
tistics in Mr. AdamSs report show that the
problem of retaining New Yorks CONNER
cial prestige is grave and pressing one,
the chief factors in which he believed to be
adequate and efficient waterways. constant
ly forcing the lowest possible transportation
charges, and ample docks equipped with
everything that will expedite and minimize
the cost OF handling commerce. Mr..
Adams believes that the present inadequate
condition Of the canals is largely responsible
for the decline of commerce at New York
city, and that the improvement now being
made should not only be promptly complet-
ed, but that steps must be taken immediate
ly for better facilities and lower terminals
for canal traffic, especially at Buffalo and
New York. He believes that the great dam
ger to New York State is that without
these improved conditions an enormous vol
ume of traffic Is now and will continue to
be diverted to points outside of this State,
SO that canals. railroads and the people
generally will lose the profits that should
accrue from this traffic. Mr.. Adams de-
scribes the progress that has been made on
the work of improving the canals, and pre-
sents a number of tables showing the total
estimated cost of the work to be SIG 600 700.

MIR. Baker Says Congress Cannot
Change Value of silver Coins.

DETROIT Mich, Feb. 6-Fred A. Baker,
a prominent attorney of Detroit, has filed
an answer to a suit brought against him in
the Oakland county Circuit Court involv-
ing the constitutionality of the Bland-Alli-
son act and other laws pertaining to sill
yer as a legal tender.
Stephen Baldwin bought farm upon
which Mr. Baker held a mortgage that be-
came due to the amount of 1854, including
interest. Mr. Baldwin rendered Mr.. Baker
1854 silver dollars and asked for the can
collation. of the mortgage. Mr.. Baker re-
fused to surrender the mortgage for the 1854
silver dollars, but agreed to cancel 1T if
he received enough silver dollars to equal,
at the present bullion value of silver, 1854
gold dollars. This condition was declined
by Mr.. Baldwin and he filed suit in equity
asking for decree commanding Mr.. Baker
to cancel the mortgage in view of the ten
der made
In the answer Mr.. Baker submits that

the Congress of the United States has no
more authority or power, as far as pre-ex-
listing contracts for the payment of money
are concerned, to diminish or increase the
number of grains of pure gold or pure sill
yer in the dollar in which a contract has
been lawfully expressed, than it has as to
pre-existing contracts to change the num-
ber of grains in an ounce or the number
of ounces in a pound or the number of
inches in foot, feet in a yard, or to
change any other standard of weights or
measures. Several of the leading attorneys
of Detroit are interested in the case.

diary origin. There have been a dozen fires
here within the last two weeks and there
is considerable talk of fire bugs.
Before the fire which broke out in the
hay warehouse had been brought under
control flames burst out in the magnificent
cathedral of st. John the Baptist, the head
seat of the Catholic Church in the State of
Georgia. and it was soon mass of ruins.
All of the fire engines in the city were en-
gagged at the other fire. The consequence
was that it was nearly an hour before an
engine arrived to turn stream on the val
liable property that was fast going to waste
and on other property around that needed
protection. The tremendous shower of
sparks that was carried up in the heat for
an hour or more, falling in the square and
on buildings, made grand spectacle The
fire started in the organ loft and spread
rapidly through the church. Everything
was saved from the residences in the vicin-
ity and it was only after struggle that
they were saved. At midnight the destruc-
ton of the cathedral was complete. The
cathedral cost about $225, 900, and was in
sured for $4,000. 1t was one of the finest
ecclesiastical structures in the South. The
edifice contained many works of art, ali of
which were saved.

WANT TO HANG A DOCTOR.
Mob of WOuId-Be Lynchers Seeking
the Life of an Ohio Physician.

CHILLICOTHE, o., Feb. 6.-Great ex-
citement prevails at Laurelville, a village in
Pickaway county, over the alleged murder
yesterday of Bessie Neff, the daughter OF
a farmer residing at Adelphi and the prob
ability of the alleged murderer being
lynched before morning. Late last night the
coroner rendered verdict that the girls
death was the result of some drug ad-
ministered by DR.. Samson. a local ply
sician, for criminal purposes. AS soon as
the verdict was announced a mob of about
three hundred men surrounded Samson's
house for the purpose of lynching him, but
the constable, with an armed guard, finally
succeeded in keeping the mob back and
placing Samson in the Jail at Laurelville.
People have been coming in large numbers
into Laurelville all day from the surround
ing country. A large crowd is now hanging
about the jail where the prisoner is con-
fined, and it is feared that another attempt
ito lynch him will be made before morning,
although the Jail is strongly guarded.
