Severe Tropical Storm.

Kingston. Jamaica, By Cable.-The
West Indian hurricane struck the
island of Jamaica with full force
Tuesday, inficting great damage. Port
Antonio. on the north coast, was COM
nletely overwhelmed. Only six houses
we're left standing, through the Unlted
Fruit Company's wharves, Offices, no
tel and plantations were utterly de-
molished. Five Of the companys
steamers, including the Simon Du-
mois, Alfred Dumois and Brighton,
were driven ashore, but are lying IN
easy positions. Port Maria, another
town on the north coast, also suffered
similarly. The coast is strewn WITH
the wreckage of local sailing boats.
The southeastern portion OF the
island has been completely
of its crops the rivers are flooded, and
many men were carried out to sea ana
drowned. Considering the damage TO
property during the hurricane the
loss of life is comparatively small
though the present estimate is that
he death list will reach so. Hundreds
of persons were injured, and there
were numerous hairbreadth escapes.
The property loss is estimated at slo'-
600, 900. The entire eastern end OF the
island has been devastated. villages
have been wiped out, and public build
ings and churches demolished. Tnou
sands Of the p~easantry, rendered
homeless and destitute, are wandering
about seeking food and shelter. the
destruction of the banana plantations
has been complete, and the fruit trade
is paralyzed for the next IL months.
Hundreds Of prosperous fruit growers
have been brought to bankruptcy ana

Mechanics Pavilion, San Francisco,
Special.-James j. Jeffries, champion
heavyweight Of the world, played with
Jim Corbett for nine rounds and a
half, and then Corbett's seconds mo-
toned to Referee Graney to stop the
fight in order to save their man from
needless punishment. The end came
shortly after the beginning of the ninth
round when Jeffries planted one
Of his terrific left swings on Jim's
stomach. The MAI who conquered John
L. Sullivan dropped to the floor IN
agony, and the memorable scene at
Carson City vas again enacted, when
Bob Fttzsimnons landed his solar
plexus blow. This time, however, Cor
bett struggled to his feet and again
faced his giant adversary. With hardly
a moments hesitation Jeffries swung
his right and again landed on Corbett's
stomacr. He dropped to the floor, and
then it was that Tommy Ryan, seeing
that It was all over, motioned to the
referee to stop the punishment.

Jett and White Convicted.

Cynthiana, KY, Special.-The jury
in the case of Curtis Jett and Thomas
White, charged with the assassination
Of James B. Marcum at Jackson, KY,
returned a verdict Of guilty, fixing the
punishment of each at life imprison-
ment. The verdict was returned at a
time when there were but few persons
il the court room. The only attorney
present was County Attorney Web
ster. Jett received the verdict with
comparative indifference and calmness,
White who has beenapparently under a
severe strain duringthe trial, flushed up
and his eyes filled with tears. The YER
dict o~ccasioned little surprise. The only
question which caused the delay, it is
said, was whether to make the punish
ment death or life imprisonment.
