STORMS AWFUL WORK.
The Recent Hurricane Killed Many
Persons and Destroyed Property
ON the North Carolina Coast.

Norfolk, Va, Aug. 23-Thirty-five
shipwrecked seamen who had nothing
in the world but few tattered and
torn clothes on their backs, some in
iured, and all miserable, arrived here
Tuesday from Hatteras, n. c. From.
them it is learned that the recent hur-
ricane which sent so many people to
death and destroyed vast estates in
Porto Rico, added another chapter to
its horrors in little stretch of beach
from Kinnakoot to Hatteras, N. C..
Thirty people are known to have lost
their lives in this district, which is
only IS miles long, and the beach is
strewn with spars, masts and other
wreckage. The sailors say II YES
sells are ashore on the coast between
Hatteras and New River inlet. No such
damaging results has attended storm
on the coast in the past quarter of q
century. Waves ran. mountain high and
the wind howled increasingly several
days and nights at 75-mile velocity.
That no more lives were lost in the
vicinity of Hatteras is considered by
the survivors nothing less than mir
acle.

The Court of Cessation of France Is
one OF the most august and able judic.
tal tribunals in the civilized world.
The honesty Of its judgmentsis always
above suspicion. Its decisions have a..
ways commanded the respect of the
bar and the judiciary of every civil
1ized country. France has had many
of her institutions rudely shaken by
the frequent revolutionary commissions
by which she has been afflicted, but
this court has survived all revolutions
and changes Of government, and has
stood like a pillar of granite. uuaf-
fected by popular excitements and IN.
influenced by political prejudice.

Fire Destroys the Business Portion

Blown Up by Dynamite to Check
the Progress Of the Flames, Bat
the ERort Was Useless.

Cripple Creek, COL, Aug. 22.-Fire has
utterly destroyed the business portion
of the city of Victor, causing loss
estimated at $2,O00,000. Beginning
shortly after noon, the fire ragged until
evening, consuming everything in its
way. 1t had it's origin, it is thought,
in the Merchants cafe, adjoining the
Bank of Victor, on the corner Of Third
street and Victor avenue. A strong
wind from the south famed the flames
and in few minutes all the surround
ing houses were afire.
Flames Swept Everything.
Help was summoned from Cripple
Creek, but the town had been built
in the early days of the camp and was
of pine timber, for the most part, and
burned like paper. Efforts were made
to stop the progress of the flames by
blowing up buildings in their path by
means of dynamite, and all afternoon
the hills have roared with the explo-
sions. but the effort was in vain.
The fire claimed the Bank of Victor,
the post Office, on the corner opposite,
crossed Third street and followed the
row of blocks between Third and
Fourth streets to the north, taking the
Victor Banking company, the Western
Union Telegraph company's Office and
the Office of the Colorado Telephone COM
pany, the Hotel Victor, on the opposite
side of Fourth street, and the three
great shaft houses of the Gold Mining
company, and its ore bins, among the
largest in the Cripple Creek district.
From there the flames were swept
northward by the half hurricane which
was blowing, and never stopped until
they had taken the Florence & Cripple
Creek depot and the fine new depot
of the Midland Terminal road, at the
head of Fourth street. All the build
ings between these are total loss,
with practically their contents, for the
flames were SO rapid in their progress
that nothing could be saved.
Loss s2,OOO,0OO.
The burned area may be thoroughly
designated as the space between the
head of North street and Victor avenue,
extending from the Gold Coin mine
buildings on the west to point near
Second street, and down Third street
almost to Diamond avenue. The loss
has now reached $2,O00,000.
The first house was built in Victor in
October, 1898. In July of the following
year the city was incorporated, and six
years later it contained 10000 people.
That is about the population now.
