THE FLORIDA STORM.
Only Nine Houses Left In Carrabelle5
Train Blown from the Track
Shipping suffers.

= River Junction, Fla, Aug. 5,-The
most disastrous cyclone that ever vis-
tied this section of Florida completely
annihilated Carrabelle, Mcintyre and
Lanark Inn, south of here, Thursday.
At Carrabelle only nine houses remain
of once beautiful and prosperous
town. Communications from the may
or state that 200 families are without
homes and shelter and many are COM
pletely destitute. OF Mcintyre only
two mill boilers mark the place of the
town. Lanark Inn, the famous summer
resort, was blown into the gulf. The
Carrabelle, Tallahassee & Georgia rail-
road is washed away for distance of
80 miles. A passenger train was blown
from the track more than 100 yards.
Many passengers were injured, but
their names are unobtainable. Mary
Williams (colored) was killed at Cara
belle. Numerous others had legs and
arms broken. Daniel Neel, of Apa-
lachicola, had his back broken and is
not expected to recover. No fatalities
are reported from Mcintyre or Lanark.
Fifteen ships lying at anchor in Dog
island cove and upper anchorage are
now all high and dry on St. Georges
and Dog island. Twelve were loaded
with lumber and ready for sea. Moth
ing remains Of them but mass of
wreckage. When the Italian bark Cor
tesla struck she split in two from stem
to stern. Three pilot boats and the
steamers Ola and Capitola and 40 boats
of under 90 tons were lost. Six lum-
Der lighters, loaded, are gone. Not one
of the entire fleet can be saved. Five
unidentified bodies were recovered Fri
day, supposed to be sailors. Tugboats
have gone from here to the scene of
the wreckage and all possible aid is be-
ing given. Fifty destitute sailors were
brought here and are being cared for.
A mass meeting of citizens was held
here and all possible aid will be given
the Carrabelle destitute. One million
dollars will not cover the loss. The
insurance was small.

FATAL ACCIDENT.
Heavily Loaded Trolley Car Falls
Forty Feet from a Trestle.
Twenty Nine Persons Killed and
Many Intured-Score of Excur-
sionists Drowned at Bar
HarbOr, Me.

Bridgeport, Conn, Aug. - Many
persons were killed by an accident on
the Stratford extension Of the Shelton
Street Railway company at four o'clock
Sunday afternoon when a loaded troll
ley car went off the trestle over Peck's
millpond at Oronoque, about six miles
north of Bridgeport, and sank in the
flats 40 feet below. Twenty-nine PEG
pie are known to be dead and a dozen
or more injured.
Only Two Escape.
Only two persons are known to have
escaped unframed. It is believed that
there were 43 passengers on the car,
but the indicator was removed by con-
ductor of another car and spirited
away, so that it is impossible to state
accurately the number aboard.
The scene of the accident is midway
between Shelton and Bridgeport. The
car was north-bound, running toward
Shelton. TWAS in charge of Conductor
John Carroll, of Bridgeport, who was
among the killed, and Motorman Ham
ilton, of Bridgeport, who escaped by
jumping.
Plunged from the Trestle.
The trestle is $40 feet long, made OF
iron, with stone foundations, and was
not protected by guard rails. South Of
the trestle is an incline, down which
the car ran at a high rate of speed.
After it ran onto the trestle for about
ten feet the trucks left the rails and
then the car continued on the ties for
about IS feet when it went off the
trestle and dropped into the pond be-
low, overturning completely and up
ending. When the car struck the four
ton motor and the heavy trucks crushed
into it, instantly killing many Of the
passengers.
Three physicians who were passen-
gers on car short distance behind ar
rived quickly on the scene and rendered
all possible assistance to the injured.
Word was sent to Bridgeport and three
ambulances and a police wagon were
hurried to the scene and the. injured
were taken to Bridgeport general hos
pital. A morgue was improvised in
the main room of the town hall at STRAIT
ford, and in a very short time % bodies
were laid out awaiting Identification.
The accident was witnessed by Miss
Frances Peck, who resides about 400
feet from the bridge. She was upstairs
at her home as the car was passing, and
she says that it was running at an un-
usually fast rate. Frank Cramer, who
was bathing near the bridge, states
that the passengers were all singing
and In the most joyful mood as they
passed him. The road, which is prac-
tically controlled by. the Bridgeport
Traction company, was opened for
traffic last Thursday.

Humboldt, Ia, Aug. 5.-A Northwest

Breakfast Dish.

Any man or woman who cares to
make test by using Grape-Nuts for a
portion of one or two meals each day
will tlnd distinct increase in vigor and
particularly in brain power. Then if
they feel disposed to know the rea-
son why, they can have Grape Nuts an
alyzed, and the result will show that
the food contains the natural phos-
phate of potash obtained in a natural
way from the cereals, and albumen OBJ
tanned in the same way. These two
elements unite together in the human
body to make and rebuild the grey mat
ter of which the brain, solar plexus and
nerve centers are filed.
These are scientific facts which can
be ascertained by any careful investi-
gator. The food Grape-Nuts is not
only the most scientifically made food
in the world but almost any user will
agree with us that the flavor is unique
and most winning.
