THE HURRICANE
Wrought Terrible Havoc In the
West Indies.

| LONDON, Sept. 15.-Advices receiv.
ed here this morning show that the
first reports of the destruction of life
and property by the hurricane which
swept over the Barbados. ST. Vincent,
ST. Lucia, and other islands OF the
Windward group in the West Indies
were not exaggerated. Indeed, ap-
palling as the details are, they fail to
present an adequate idea of the terri
BILE havoc wrought by the storm.
The estimates of loss of life given in
last nights reports are believed to be
far below the actual number killed,
while the number of persons rendered
homeless was much greater than was at
first stated. The aggregate damage to
property cannot be estimated even
approximately, as the winds,
rain fall tidal, waves, and land
slides have completely devastated the
country. 1t is believed the number of
dead in the town of Kingston, the cap
ital of the island of St. Vincent, which
was totally destroyed, is much greater
than the 300 reported last night, while
the number of homeless and starving
persons largely exceeds 10000.
A dispatch to Lloyds from the Bar
BADGES says that when the storm broke
there, the British man of war Alert
steamed out to sea to escape being
wrecked. The British ship Leanda,
and the American barks Laplaud,
Crate, Lynwood and Lovedahl were
blown out to sea and probably wreck
ed. Further losses are reported, prin-
cipally among the coast craft. Guada-
lupe suffered heavily from the storm
and numerous destructive landslides
Nineteen persons are known to have
been killed and the loss of life is pro-
badly greater.
On no previous occasion has the loss
of life caused by hurricane in the
sea been so great. 1t is
feared that when numerous other is
ands in the area over which the storm
swept with such deadly fury are heard
rom, the list will swell to still great
,r dimensions. Only small number
IT islands are connected by cable.
Further dispatches received by
.loyds say that several large ships are
'shore on the Windward islands and
many small ones. Communication with
3arbadoes Is completely out off.

One of the prettiest weddings which

white satin. trimmed with real lace,
and veil of white chiffon held in
place by diamond tiara, a present to
her. She carried large bouquet of
brides roses.
At the appointed time the wedding
march was begun and the bridal party
entered. The ushers came first, then
the two bridesmaids, Misses Ethel
Catlin and Hattie Schloss, dressed in
white organdie with pink sashes, and
carrying bouquets of pink and white
carnations. Next following them came
the maid of honor, Miss Tillie Cohen,
sister of the bride, who was dressed
in muslin de soir over pink taffeta.
After her came the little flower girls
preceding the bride.
The bride met the groom at the altar
and the beautiful ceremony of the
Jewish church was used, DR.. Cohen Of
ficiating.
The hall had been very prettily de-
corated in smilax and brides's roses.

were married also contained q bell of
bride roses.
After the ceremony was performed
the bridal party repaired to the spa
cious dining room of the Vendome ho-
tel. where reception was held. At
nine thirty the guests sat down to q
sumptuous wedding supper. Many were
the toRSts drunk to the health of the
bride. and one was proposed by Mr..

the mother-in-law.
After all the guests were seated at
table, and many rounds of health had
been drunk, Senior HidalgO. friend of
the groom, presented to the bride, in a
few words beftting the occasion and
the present, very large and beautiful
bouquet. After comparing the fair
young bride TO the purity of a white
dove, he very gracefully pulled small
white ribbon from the top of the flow
ers and two white doves flew out. AT
ter circling the room, one alighted on
the head of the bride. 1t was pretty
sight.
After the supper dancing was in
dulged in and continued until the
small hours of the morning.
The presents received by the bride
were many and costly.

Had Things Her Own Way.

Dr. turner nOt1ned Omcer DWyer
this morning that there was sick
woman sitting on the stairway leading
to his Office and from all appearances
he thought she had smallpox and want
ed her removed. The officer grew
pale, mbled like kitten
on cake of ice, and
positively refused to have anything
whatever to do with the woman. The
news spread rapidly that the woman
on the steps had the smallpox and she
was let strictly alone, for a time, by
rived and ordered the woman to vacate
and she did hastily, going through
the alley in the direction of Juarez.
The woman has q room on South
Oregon street. The policeman follow
ed her and reported to Chief Lockhart,
who at once set policeman to watch
her until DR.. Race can 60 and make an
examination, which he will do this af-
ternoon when he returns from the
smelter.
The case developed discussion
among the police as regards such ar
rests in the future. Officer Winkler
said he felt terrible bad at times but
that he did not think be ever had the
small pox. Officer Dwyer said he had
heard his father tell what an awful ap-
petite-destrOyer the disease was, and
that, as he had lost several days lately
through fear of being sick, he could
dumped into the pest house. Several
bystsnders chimed in and sympathized
with the officers, and the horrors of
the dreaded disease we're thoroughly
discussed. There is not man on the
police force who has ever had the
smallpox and the question now arises,
Whom will the city get to arrest the
disease?
LATER.-The woman was examined
by DIR. Race, and the doctor pronounc-
ed the case smallpox. The woman was
sent to the pest house.

REPORT on LEvEEs ENDORSED

Washington, Dec. l5.-Tho
Senate committee on commerce
today agreed to the report Of the
subcommittee appointed under
the resolution Of March 1898, to
investigate and report upon the
floods in the Mississippi river and
their causes and prevention.
The committee say that the
greatest and the most destructive
floods have come from the Ohio
river, and wore duo to excessive
rains, but other tributaries have
also contributed to the volume of
water, which has 80 frequently in
times past submerged the bottom
lands of the Mississippi With
reference to the levees they say
that the experience of 1897 indi-
Gates that complete enclosure Of
all the river basins will require
from three to four feet higher
levees in Louisiana, and from four
to six feet Of the Ya2oo loyees.
The committee concludes that
ne substantial relief from the
floods can be obtained by means
of outlet; hence the further con
clusion that only through proper
ly constructed leyees can the
proper relief be secured. The
committee furnishes an estimate
of the cost of completing the le-
wees system from the head Of ST.
Francis basin to the head Of the
passes, putting tho figures at from
S1S, 100000 to &20,00O,0 900, and
the time necessary at from four to
five years. The opinion is eX-
pressed that with this expenditure
leyccs sufficiently high and strong
to afford completeprotection could
be assured.
