7 ELE c RAP H|C
SERVICE IS
RESUMED
Manager Crockett of West
ern Union Got Atlanta
at $3.50 o'clock
Last Night.

After being shut off from the world
since Wednesday night, telegraph
communication was restored by the
Western Union last night at $3.50
o'clock, when Atlanta was heard.
There was a pie of kilograms,
press dispatches, ETC., to go over the
wire and Manager Crockett and his
men were kept hard at work for
hours.
The task of restoring communica-
ton was a herculean one, considering
the fact that the line between this
city and Flomaton was completely de-
stroyed. 1t was done, however, the
linemen working in driving rains and
wind to string the wires.
During the period that there was no
communication out of Pensacola,
Manager Crockett showed that he
was alive to the situation and handled
the business entrusted to his office In
a most satisfactory manner, consider
ing the conditions. Each day messages
were carried to FlomatOn, where an
operator had been placed, and on the
return trip kilograms for Pensacola
were brought back.
During such a disaster this service
was greatly appreciated, and the man
ager highly commended.
He announces that for the accom-
mediation of the public his office will
be kept open all day to-day.

TWO PA[AFOX ST.
BUILDINGS ARE
CONDEMNED

Two buildings were condemned by
the city officials yesterday. They had
been so damaged by the hurricane
that their further occupancy for bust
ness purposes WAS deemed danger
Gus. The buildings were occupied by
the store of William Johnson & Son
at the corner of Palafox and lntenden-
cia street and that of the Clutter Mu-
sic House on Palafox street, between
Intendencia and Romano.
The first-named building had been
unroofed the night of the hurricane
and the awning blown down. In addi-
ton the building was otherwise dam
aged and Chairman Ingraham and
Architect Blount examined the build
ing yesterday and pronounced it un.
safe. The immense stock of goods
of this firm is being moved to the spa
ciOus store building in the Brent
building.
The front of the Clutter Music
Store was found TO be in dangerous
condition by the architect and this
firm will store goods in warehouse
until a place of business can be open
ed, which is estimated to be two
weeks.

EXPERIENCE OF
c. /. JACKSON
Relates Story of How His
Own and Other Families
Were Saved From
Fury of Storm.

C. H. Jackson, the well-known Con
zalez merchant, had an experience in
the storm that he is not likely to soon
forget.
1T seems that his wife together
with her baby, was visiting her moth
er Mrs. Jennings, at her summer
home at Trout Bayou, in Garcon
point, between the point and the rail-
road bridge. Mr.. Jackson went over
to the Bayou Monday, and when the
storm broke on them in all its fury
Wednesday afternoon, he very wisely
concluded that it would be well to
seek a safer place.
This feeling was shared by the few
families residing at Trout Bayou, and
accordingly, the women and children
OF the entire settlement were hastily
stored away in skiff, and all prepare
tons made for a hurried start.
1t was about midnight Wednesday
when the little party started on their
perilous journey. BY this time the
sea had risen, and the waves were
breaking freely through the woods.
I'm the skiff were IA women and
children, including Mrs. Jackson and
her young babe. The men Of the lit
tie party numbered four, and these,
laying hold of the sides of the skiff,
proceeded to drag and haul their
precious burden through the water
that now spread through the woods,
In the direction of Bagdad.
Words are powerless to describe
the terrors of that journey through
the boiling sea that billowed and
swept with resistless force through
the woods. AT times the four brave
men were plunged into holes over
their, heads; at others, they lost their
hold, and. again the frail craft
threatened to capSize. =.
At length. when the entire party
was well-night exhausted, the skin
sunk on a knoll. The women and
children were hurriedly sheltered be-
hind some bushes, while the men
righted and bailed out the boat. Al
a. m. higher land was at last reach.
ed and halt was made. They mad
left the Bayou about midnight, and IN
all that time had made but a mile
and a half.
Some time after this, the water was
seen to be subsiding. and the little
party. worn out with their terrible
trip started to walk back to the
Bayou which they finally reached
footsore and weary, Friday morning
In the Bayou they found a two
masted schooner from Biloxi, which
had weathered the gale, and, embark
ing on this craft, Mr.. Jackson and his
little family finally made their way
to Pensacola in safety.
Those they left behind them at
Trout Bayou are described as being
| in a terrible condition. Everything
there. including seven boats, has been
swept away; supplies are running
short, and, unless assistance Is
! promptly rendered, the people left al
the Bayou will soon be face to face
with bitter want.

FIRST ARRIVALS
FROM EAST
OF CITY
r. w .Storrs Tells How Peo-
pie of DeFuI5.as1 Got
News of Storm.

The first train from the East since
Wednesday night reached Milton,
bringing a large number of delayed
passengers, among them those who
were tied up at DeFuniak Thursday
morning by tine wreck of the accom-
mediation there.
From Milton part of the crowd
chartered launch and came to Pen
sacola and the remainder came on
the steamer City of Tampa which
was chartered by the railroad for
that purpose. She also brought d
large crew of laborers to assist in
the work of rebuilding the track On
the bay front.
In the party were T. w. Neon
nell and E. w. Tharp, of the Wa'tOL,
Land & Timber Co.. owners of the
steamer Eugene which was wrecked
in the. storm, and Editor R. W.
Storrs, of the DeFuniak Breeze, who
came down 10 get the story of the
storm at first hand. Mr.. Storrs said
in answer to the inquiries of a Jour
nal reporter:
We have been without news Of
any kind except rumors since We'd
nesday night, which ranged all the
way from the annihilatlon of Santa
Rosa island and the loss altogether
of over 200 lives. down to the one
that the storm did no damage here.
The first reliable information We had
was this morning when We got a
single copy of The Pensacola Jour-
nal, which, climbing onto a pile of
trunks at the depot, read to a
crowd of over a hundred people.
1.-The storm at DeFuniak," Mr..
Storrs said, did but little damage.
At Freeport the water was four and
half feet above any previous high
water mark and logs and timber were
scattered everywhere. The ]. j.
McCaskill Co. were the heaviest los
ers. At their Jolly Bay mill a large
quantity of lumber was washed away.
At their new mill site all the fcunda-
ton timbers were swept away and
about $500 worth of goods in their
warehouse were damaged by high
water.

PENINSULA WAS
SWEPT CLEAR
BY STORM

Much uneasiness is being felt for
the safety of the families of T. L.
Wentworth and Mr.. Hudson, who re-
side on Santa Rosa peninsula, about
3 miles from Seabreeze. Their homes
were located in a very low portion OF
the peninsula and as the water swept
the entire place, it is feared that they
have suffered terribly or persisted.
James Doody, who resides on the
peninsula, came to the city last night
and brought the news that everything
as far as he could see, had been swept
clear, and that no boats were left al
any point.
Last night the mail boat Ruth
which came down from Mary Esther
yesterday, left to go to the rescue OF
Mr.. Wentworth and family and the
family of Mr.. Hudson.

RESUMED
Company Is Working Vigor-

Running.

The electric light service was par
tially resumed in the city last night,
through the vigorous work of the OF
ficials and a big force of men, and
the illumination of the arc lights all
over the city made matters assume
a more cheerful aspect compared to
the past three nights.
Not only has the company been
able to restore the arc circuit but also
to furnish power and to give the
northwest section incandescent lights.
Big forces of men will be kept at
work all during to-day, many OF them
being placed at work on the dummy
line, and it is possible that by We'd
nesday service in the city will be re-
stored and cars will be in operation.
