THEREcENT HURRICANE.
THE DAMAGE SUSTAINED
NORTH CAROLINA.

The North Carolina section Of. the
climate and crop service OF the
Weather Bureau, which was issued yes
terday, gives the following summary OF
the damage resulting from the recent
hurricane which swept through the
State:
The wind reached a maximum We
-locity OF ~ miles from the northeast at
Kitty Hawk, but only AZ from the
southeast at Wilmington. The damage
In the Interior consisted chiefly in the
uprooting of trees destruction of fenced
and frail structures, with minor injury
to ungathered crops. From all &C,
counts there appears to have been only
one life lost, but the damage to pro-
perty was very great, D conservat tive
estimate placing the loss at over $500.
900.
One steamer, the Catherine Whiting,
was wrecked (loss $2S, 000) and ten other
vessels, mostly small schooners, were
destroyed or driven ashore and badly
damaged. AT Fort Caswell (mouth of
cape Fear) government property was
much damaged; tide reached feet
above high-water mark. At Southport
the tide was very high; dwelling houses
and stores were damaged; the quaran-
tine station lost its wharvcs. Some
,.
Wilmington reported the highest tide
since 1888, and the river came over the
wharves and flooded Water and Mutt
streets; the damage TO property at
wharves was considerable. At Wrights-
vile the tide was s feet above high
water mark; over twenty cottages and
club houses were destroyed, and the re-
