us inches AS a matter of fact, the only
extraordinary feature of the gale was the
excessively high water, produced by the
combination of a very high tide and a
northeast wind, ranging in velocity from
twenty-five miles an hour to sixty miles
and extending without break for twelve
hours.
The first indication of the storm was
the receipt of message from Washington
at IL o'clock Saturday morning to the
weather bureau here to hoist the Informal
ton signal, followed by an order late in
the afternoon to display the northeast
storm signal. To these warnings the safe
ty of the shipping in the river was due
The storm appeared suddenly off the Flor
ida coast, near Jupiter. An area of high
pressure existed over the North Atlantic
states and it was seen that the tendency
would be to drive the approaching storm
inland over the coast of Georgia, produc-
ing northeast winds dangerous to ship
ping. Results proved the correctness of
the observation and the conclusions reach
ed by the weather bureau. The severity
OF the storm was probably somewhat
greater than was anticipated, but every
precaution had been taken 10 warn ship
ping circles, and considerable damage was
averted by the advices from the capital.
The fun history of the storm, so far as
savannah Is concerned, is given in the fol-
lowing table, which win prove of interest
to all students Of weather phenomena:

Tenders could be induced to wander home.
Electrician Claiborne has always managed
the Gamewell system successfully, how
ever. and has not yet allowed the wires
to be out of service long at a time
Houses in some parts of the city were
dana ed, branches were whipped from the
trees, and signs We're blown over on the
pavements and torn from buildings. At
Barnard and Anderson streets a number
of houses being repaired were unroofed.
Where the wind got an unobstructed
sweep, it brushed out windows, but there
were probably not more than a half doz-
en- houses ventilated in this manner. The
damage TO the trees was slight, and the
limbs that were torn off, had been pre-
viously weakened. A few weak trees on
Liberty street were blown down, but in
the parks the damage was very slight.

LITTLE DAMAGE IN THE CITY.
Greatest Inconvenience Was the
TangIing of the Wires.


Tangling of the Wires.
The damage in the city was slight, as
previous storms have spent their violence
on all the weak places, which left room
for little damage, except by an unusually
fierce gust. The most inconvenience was
probably on account of the damage done
the telephone, telegraph and electric light
wires. The Gamewell system at the po-
lice station was also out of order
Long before dark some of the hotels,
public buildings and private residences,
where electric lights are used, found the
current was off and accordingly resorted
to gas or lamps, while some were COM
PEELED to make out with candles. The
street lamps were all out, and the princi-
pal streets were in the darkness of mid
night. On this account there were few
people on the streets, and where an occa-
sional straggler found himself wandering
around in the dark, he managed to get the
nearest car for shelter. Scarcely any peo-
pie were to be seen after o'clock, which
gave the copper pretty much his own
way. An occasional hack twisted around
through the business center, but there was
little demand for them.
The inside street car lines were in good
order throughout the day. The schedules
were slightly changed by taking off cars
on account of the little demand for them
but all the lines were in condition to OPP
crate when needed. Those who did ride
had the pleasure Of doing so on closed
ears, where they received the comforts
and benefits they were paying for.
Only a part Of the telephone lines were
out of use, but they happened to be
some Of the most important. Few of the
overhead wires were used, as they were
either down, or had become entangled
worked all right, however, and 1t was
reported at the exchange last night that
all connections could be made. There Will
be an inspection of adj wires out of order
this morning, aud Workmen started re-
pairing the damage as rapidly as pos
sibe 1t could not be told yesterday to
what extent the system had been damag-
ed. so that it is uncertain when all disor-
der can be repaired.
At the police barracks there was also
confusion on account Of disordered wires.
The system by which the police report at
intervals could not be worked, and while
Electrician Claiborne was at the desk in
an effort to locate the trouble he was I'M
able to do il during the day. The tsle
phone at the station was also out of or
der. 50 that the departments work was at
a considerable Disadvantage. In case of
an arrest there was no way for an officer
to call wagon. The only thing to be
done was to resort TO the old-time method
of snatchlng pat" nv the collar and
running him 20 the station house. An ex-
Derience of this kind with a helpless
drunken man was doubtless more than

roots of the trees hung many feet toward
the river
Szidaway island was covered as far as
could be seen. Whether there has been any
loss OF life there Is unknown. There were
one or two white families living opposite
Isle Of Hope, and the remainder of the res
idents of the island, or most of them, at
least, We're negroes.
The wind, which was at its hight early
In the afternoon, blew steadily aud piled
the water up over the lowlands in every
direction. Very few boats were left at Isle
of Hope. Mr.. Barbee's large sail boat, Nep-
tune. was blown W on the blun and sew
eral others were thrown high by the wind
and food.
None of the cottages were reached BY
the water, and none were seriously damag
ed SO far as known.
Some fears Were entertained for the
safety of Mr.. j. Fl. Bandy, who was known
to have been at the NarraWs between Isle
of Hope and Montgomery Saturday night,
fishing.
The only news from the island during
the day was brought into the city 10y Mr.
Barbee in the afternoon. He made one
trip with a Savannah, Thunderbolt and
Isle of Hope car in the morning and en-
deavored to return to the city in the af-
ternoon, but could not cross Cuyler
swamp. The track there was obstructed
by uprooted trees and the collapse of the
trolley wires. which wegeldownafer some
distance. The Isle of Hope causeway was
under water early in the afternoon and
was covered with trash. This Mr. Barbee
succeeded in removing, however, and
crossed safely He knew the condition of
affairs and was endeavoring to reach The
city to notify the railway company when
he was stopped by the obstructed track.
After walking some distance he met Supt.
Benagh and force OF men ana was
brought in.

The center of the storm passed south
of Savannah at 2 p. IN. AT o'clock last
night it was central at a point west of
Savannah and south of Augusta.
A story was circulated late in the af-
ternoon that Jacksonville had been liter
ally RACED to the ground, the storm there
having reached a velocity of 100 miles
This was unfounded. AT a. m. the wind
velocity was &c miles at that city and the
storm was then north of Jacksonville. For
the twelve hours ending a. m. the maxi
mum winds reported were:
Charleston, 4S miles Jacksonville, &c, and
Key West, 26. At 8 p. m. no reports were
received from Florida points, wires being
down. Other points reported maximum
velocites in the twelve hours ending then,
as follows: Augusta, So miles; Charleston,
Ga; Atlanta 30; Wilmington, 26.
These reports, and additional Geographic
advices, show that Savannah, as in the
August storm, bore the brunt of it so far
as damage is concerned.
