RAILROADS TRAINS ABANDONED.
No Mails Are Arriving ond Business Near
ly at n StandstilI.

~ at a StenSist1l
The steamship City of Birmingham
from New York yesterday morning and
other vessels arriving during the day
reported that a short distance of the
coast the storm was not felt. OF the five
lines of railroads entering here the only
outlet l. by the Plant system south to
Jacksonville The Central OF Georgia
Georgia and Alabama. Florida, Central
and Peninsular and the Charleston and
Savannah are practically abandoned
within the storm radius. No mails ex-
cept local mails have ben received for
two days. Three carloads of Florida
mail are awaiting an outlet north. Bus
mess is practically at a standstiIl owing
to the blockading of the railroads.
For fifty miles west of Savannah the
country is practically under water. The
railroads are unable to form any esJi-
mate of the damage or to repair the
tracks until the water falls. Instead of
falling, however, the water is rising.
The Oconee. Ogeechee Ockmulgee and
Altamaha rivers and their tributaries
are overflowed and the water is flood
ing the country. An effort was made
last night to get a train north over the
Charleston and Savannah railroad, but
IL was abandoned.
The condition of the people in the
small towns and in the sparsely settled
sections of the flooded country, if the
floods continue and communication is
not soon re-established. will be serious.
There has been great loss of stock in
the countrysh nd the floods from the up
per part of the state are likely to do
still greater damage. All the highlands
in the flooded districts are filed with
game which has taken refuge from the
water. In Savannah the meat supply
is about exhausted. Taking the losses
in Savannah. where a minor part of the
damage was done. and those sustained
by the rice planters, the growers OF cot
ton. by farmers generally and by rail-
roads and shipping. il will be found that
an estimate OF $1,000. 600 damage will be
reasonably within bounds.

times they would be very bad and 1

COAST STORM SWEPT

and Flood.
BEACH IS LINED WITH WRECKS.

| Ross of Life So Far rs Reported Is Small,
but Later Reports Expected to Show
Many Fatalities-The Norwegian Bark
Ragna a Total wreck-Cotton Crops
Ruined-Man Trains Delayed and Busi-
ness Practically Suspended.
Savannah, Ca. SPIT 3.-While Savan-
nah suffered heavily from the cyclone
which swept over this section of the
coast Wednesday morning, the damage
on the coast islands and in the interior
| as far as the storm reached is probably
greater. The flooded condition of the
country renders communication difficult
and in many sections il is entirely cut
off and no news has been received to
Indicate what the conditions are. The
first news from the Carolina sea ISL
ands, which were the scene of the great
tidal storm of 1898 in which thousands
of persons perished was received yes
terday. While the storm was nothing
like that of five years ago the loss is
heavy. The beaches north of Tybee are
lined with wrecks of small craft and at
Blu1fton and the other small settle
ments nearly all the houses were un-
rooted and many We're destroyed
Cotton Crop Is Ruined.
The Norwegian bark Ragna, which
went ashore on Gaskin bank. is a total
wreck. The captain and crew We're
saved. The bark Noe in attempting to
rescue the crew of which Lieutenant
Morgan and enc Of his companions lost
their lives. has about disappeared.
Small steamers have patroIIed Gala
bogue sound all day searching for the
bodies of the heroic rescuers, but they
have not been recovered. The loss to
the rice crop on the Savannah river
alone is estimated at 5000. 900 to $3.50 900.
Three-fourths of the crop has been de-
stroyed- The loss to planters between
Savannah and Augusta will run into
the hundreds of thousands. a heavy
flood is reported in the upper Savannah
river and messengers were sent out
from here last night to warn planters
of it's approach. The cotton crop in the
counties adjoining Savannah is prac-
ticaIly ruined.
Loss of Life So Far Is Small.
The latest reports from the storm in
dicate that Savannah was in the south
ern edge of it. Its full force passed ten
to twenty miles north. across Beaufort
county. S. c. The entire territory which
the storm ravaged, although limited to
a radius of fifty miles, is damaged be-
yond estimate. The loss of life, so far
as known, has been small, but it is ex-
pected that the reports of the next few
days will show many fatalities. The
steam pilot boat ]. II. Estill, arrived in
Tybee roads last night after a day and
night cruise and reported six wrecks of
coastwise schooners off Martins In
dustry lightship. fifteen miles from Ty-
bee. Several OF them were sunk, others |
bottom upwards and i'll apparently hav-
ing been anchored when the storm |
struck them. None of the vessels names |
were learned. There were no signs of |
the crews and it is believed they per- |
ished. All sorts of wreckage lines the |
coast, indicating heavy losses at sea.
