The IN town bound cable car appar-

crowd of passengers accepted it when,
after each stop, it started up again with
violent jerk, which threw big men

At Prince street a little old man got
on and made his way to about the mid
die of the car He lost something of his
mildness of expression when he was
thrown suddenly and forcibly against
young woman, knocking off her hat.

"sassed' back. but the excited little

Savannah. Ga, Oct 3--For eighteen
hours. from o'clock yesterday until .
last night. Savannah has been in the
grasp OF a West Indian cyclone. Dur
ing that time the wind blew steadily
from 70 20 75 miles an hour. While
the city escaped with comparatively
little damage. The loss OF property
among the sea islands OF tho Georgia
and South Carolina coasts, Is believed
to have been heavy. For miles in ev-
cry direction around Savannah the
lowlands along the rivers are submerg-
cd. Only one fatality has so FAR been
reported the drowning of colored
man while trying to reach tho main
land from n small island near Thun-
derbolt; but heavy loss Of life IS feared
on the South Carolina sea islands,
whore such fearful loss OF life occurred
during the great tidal storm OF 1898
The conditions now are similar 10
those during that storm. Owing to the
submerged country aud tho isolation
Of the islands. no news can be had
from them until the water subsidies.
For eight miles north OF Savannah the
country Is n lake. with only the ham
mocks visible. AZ noon the water was
feet above tho highest tide. Driven on
shore by the northeast storm, II filled

and dams, carrying away the remnant
OF the rico crop that was left by the
