Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
LONG BEACH. Sept. 2S.-The re-
ceipt of the news that the long and
short men" had been arrested in Los
Angeles created a decided sensation
here tonight.
The citizens breathed a little easier
than they have for some days.
A few Of the special officers who had
been put on duty were called off their
beats.
The local police assert however. that
several Of the recent hold-ups were
done by couple of young men who
are yet at large. These fellows have
confined their operations to the beach
and Pike
The last robbery to be attempted by
these footpads was failure last night
A Japanese cook employed by Mrs ID
j. Aitkens Of 40 Atlantic avenue was
riding along near the Long Beach
skating rink on a bicycle, and was
halted by two men who searched his
clothes In vain for anything of value.
After being released the Japanese was
so frightened that he went back to his
brothers place OF business near the
bath house and would not go 10 the
house where he is employed. He said
the would-be robbers were dark ana
slender men, apparently Mexican or
Spanish.

and the Bienville hotel facing Bienville
square, are damaged to the extent of
$4,000 each; the Windsor hotel, $50, 900;
st. Andrews, $4,000; the Southern $4,000.
The Southern Supply company esti-
mates its loss at $4,000 The Mer-
chants and First National banks were
inundated.
No Estimate at Hand
There is no way to arrive at correct
estimate of the losses. owing to the
disordered state of all business. The
city was astir early this morning, how
ever The water had receded some
what, and everybody, armed with
buckets and brooms, worked hard for a
restoration to normal conditions.
Hundreds of bales of cotton f1oated
through the main streets and will be
carried out to sea. Cotton not lost in
this way was damaged by muddy
water. AT Fort Logan, thirty-five
miles down the bay, the wind had a
much higher velocity than at Mobile.
Towns along the Mobile and Bay Shore
roads suffered intensely, owing to their
exposed position.
No word from the coast towns along
the Louisville & Nashville road has
reached the city. There is no doubt
that many lives have been lost and
severe damage done both to residence
and business property. Along the gulf
coast there were many fashionable
residences, some costing 100000.
The lowest barometer reading was
1884 at $3.50 o'clock Thursday morning;
1885 record was 30. 16. The barometer
rose steadily from that and at p. m.
read 20. Al. The rainfall for two days
was 6. AZ inches.
The average veolcity of the wind, as
officially announced by the weather
bureau, was fifty-five miles an hour
The official maximum In 1893 was
miles an hour. Even with
this marked difference in wind velocity
this years storm did far greater dam
age to the city because the wind Thurs
day was of longer duration and more
tornado like, twisting everything in its
path. The Louisville & Nashville and
Jackson & Kansas City railroad
shops were inundated, the machinery
and rolling stock being badly damaged.
Along the line of the Mobile & Ohio
railroad to Meridian the Associated
Press correspondent saw huge trees ly-
ing fiat upon the ground with limbs
torn off and twisted. The streams are
all out of their banks. and for twenty
five miles north of Mobile, looking to
the right of the railroad one can see
nothing but a solid sheet of water run
ming swiftly toward Mobile.

ing bravely as he nodded a life's fare

CHINESE SUSTAINS
BROKEN BACK

Chez Tong, or Chez Wong, as his
name appears upon the emergency hos
pital records, was taken to that insti-
tuition yesterday suffering from severe
injuries which the Chinese sustained
when he got in the way of an engine
in the Southern Pacific yards. The man
can speak no English and consequently
the hospital authorities have been able
to learn little about him except the fact
that he is vegetable peddler.,
Tong, however, presents remarkable
surgical case.
1t is said that his back was dislocated.
two of the vertebrae being crowded an
inch or more out of line Despite this
injury, however, the Chinese retained
consciousness and he has not become
paralyzed,
The vertebrate have been restored to
place, and there seems to be no reason
why he should not recover and speedily.

Christ church cathedral and st. Fran

than others. The damage to the former
is estimated at $4,000, and st. Franci;

thing else. Many of the river boats

Immediately. Her crew is believed to
have escaped, but nothing has been
seen of them. The city was put under
martial law at dark Thursday and no
person allowed to enter the wholesale
district. The city authorities were
quick to act.
All wharves from Frascati street, the
extreme south end of the city, as far
up the river as Three Mile creek, are
total wrecks. This includes also the
new Mobile & Ohio docks and the
Louisville G. Nashville docks.
Telegraphic communication is para

several days.

ways, and in fact all business has been

city, its first string of cars having left
Mobile at a. m. Friday.
Numerous sawmillS located in the
northern and marshy districts have
been either washed away by the ter
rife waves or torn to splinters by the
wind. Their lumber and timbers are
scattered over the city or floating down
the slowly falling river.
Harbor Steamer Beached
The harbor steamer James A. Carney,
plying between Mobile and the eastern
shore, lies beached just across the river
and opposite st. Francis street. Its
sides are jammed in and its upper struc-
ture blown away.
Much fear is entertained for Fort
Morgan, where the government quar-
antine station is located and many SOL
diers are quartered. In the city many
persons and much livestock was res
cued only after heroic efforts. Provis-
ions are almost exhausted. Restaurants
feed many, but have no supplies on
hand.
Ham and eggs constituted their food
supply. These, too, will soon become
exhausted. Wholesale houses lost many
thousands of dollars from floods, and
paid as high as $1.50 an hour
men to accept such pay, so frantic were
they in their efforts to save goods.
Even at this figure few men, white or
black, would accept work.
Words cannot describe the terrors of
the storm. Between 6 p. m. Thursday
and noon Friday trees fell and roofs
were crrushed by the hundreds
the streets. carried by the ter
rifle wind, were hurled thousands of
pieces of slate, tin roofing, cornices,
shingles and all kinds of debris. Blinds
were torn from their fastenings and
windows smashed as though of tissue
paper.
Many people were seriously injured
and cut by the flying slate and tin. The
railroads have started wreckers out to
clean up and repair the tracks, but their
task is herculean.

graph company was six feet under

the business district presented an al
most indescribable scene. OF the fifty
or sixty big steamers and sailing ves-
sells In the harbor only five or six re-
manned.
They have been driven ashore. and
along the water front is mass OF
wreckage from steamers towboats,
launches and sailing craft.
Thirty fishing vessels have been de-
stroyed or damaged, and the three big
fish houses, with their wharves, are
gone. Muscogee wharf and the Com
mandencia and Tarragona wharevs of
the Louisville & Nashville railroad are
badly damaged. Great iron ships of
200. 600 and 800, 900 tons have been driven
not only ashore but have gone through
houses a block from the water front.
Destruction on Water Front
Every house along the water front
for ten miles has been destroyed and
the wonder is that the loss of life is
not greater. The tracks of the ter
minal railroad to the navy yard and
the Barrancas have been destroyed, as
also have the trestles and bridges.
No communication can be had with
the navy yard. but il is believed that it
is badly damaged.
Every business house from the wharf
from Pala Fox to Union street has been
unroofed. many plate glass windows
broken, stocks. badly damaged and
wires and poles all mixed up together.
There are no electric lights or cars, no
telegraph or telephone service. The
tracks of the Louisville & Nashville
railroad on the Pensacola and Atlantic
division have been destroyed for thirty
miles, and two engines and cars sent
out to the quarantine station have been
lost.
Acting Mayor Maura ordered every
saloon closed this morning and fifty
policemen have been sworn in. The
homeless families are housed in all por-
tions Of the city, but many will walk
the streets without food or a place to
sleep until some order can be brought
out of the shaos. Thieves are breaking
open trunks along the beach, entering
unoccupied houses and stealing every
thing in sight.
Several arrests were made, but it is
impossible to protect property under
the conditions now prevailing.
Five sailors from a British steamer
were clinging to a roof that was
washed ashore today. Three others
from the same vessel were drowned
