THE GULF STORM.

Central last night in Mississippi and
sweeping north at the rate Of 200 miles
day, the hurricane which devastated
the gulf coast on Monday night and yes
terday and left trail Of wreck and ruin
through four states, continued on Its
course with unabsted fury.
OF the ruin that it has wrought no
one can give an estimate. In New Or
leans alone fine are known to be dead
and million dollars will not repair the
damage done to the besutiful Crescent
Oity. 1t is said that plate glass alone
will cost 800, 900 to replace.
From the little sristocratic summer
colonies on the Louisiana and Mississippi
gulf coast come vague tales of devasIa'
ton and fears that many lives have been
lost. The wealthy summer tourists who
own pleasure craft are wont to spend
much time upon them, and it is possible
that many have been lest.
Biloxi, the mecca Of the wealthy, is
still isolated, and its fate is unknown.
Jackson, Miss. the cspital OF the
state, is still cut of from the coast points.
The dome of the new capital at Jackson
was wrecked and the old capitol unroof-
ed. The streets were taOgle, of live
wires, end the fallen trees aud debris
made the highways impassable.
At Vicksburg, two vessels were sunk
and third was driven ashore. Their
passengers we're rescued. One vessel
lies scross the channel and has blocked
navigation.
From Mobile comes the tidiogs that
the steamer Pleasure Bay is missing and
it is hoped that it has been driven
ashore and its passengers saved. How
many sre on board is not known. The
property damage in Mobile and vicinity
will not be large. Some loss of life is
reported in the vicinity Of Chef Menteur,
Louisiana.
The hurricane was severe at Gulfport,
Miss, waves coming over the mammoth
pier and water going into the city, do
ing considerable damage. Nothing south
of Gulfport has beer beard from.
Late weather bureau reports last nigdt
indicated the tropical storm has passed
directly uorthward during the night from
the Louisiana coast along the Mississippi
river, and was then centered over east
eIn Arkansas. Heavy rains and strong
winds, reaching from gale to hurricane
force, have attended the advance of the
storm, and considerable damage has &C.
Cured to telegraph lines and interests
in the lowlauds in the middle guilt re-
gion. The highest winds reported were
Mobile, go miles southeast, aud New
Orleans, 6S miles southeast.
Rains will occur during the next "a
to 36 hours over practically the entire
country from the Mississippi valley east
ward.

ogden. Dec. 2O.-Long pent-up griev-
ances of the city Of ogden against the
Ogden Rapid Transit company for innu-
merable alleged violations of provisions
and repeated failure to comply with re-
quiremeuts broke forth in a torrent to-
night in the course OF sensational seS-
sion of the city council.
Arrogant reply of the Eccles corpora
ton that it would not only refuse 10
make certain proposed improvements IN
Ogden, but that 1t would tear up us
tracks on the main streets Of the city II
the council persisted in certain demands,
stirred up the trouble.
The fight began when the city engineers
on the recommendation of the paving
committee, moved that a provisional con-
structi0n standard be placed on the Rapid
Transit company. Recently tia council
demanded that the street car company
put in creOsOte ties and lib. rails, to
gether with up-tO-date improvements IN
the paving district, after the manner OF
the most modern street car companies IN
Other American cities. When the import
of the proposed measure was explained
to the council a flood Of indignant ora
tory broke forth.
Let them tear up their tracks, not only
on the Main street. but in every portion
Of the city, let them leave the town al
together. 1 believe the town would bet
ter buy it before we grant this COmprO~
mise" declared Councilman r. +. Powers.

Councilmen Austin and Wilson were Of
like opinion while COunCilmen Perry,
Browning, Dickson and Flygare. a re-
mainder of the members, fearful lest the
threat be carried out, favored arbitra-
ton A deadlock resulted when the mo-
ton to accept the compromise was put to
vote.
1t was laid on the table for the Consid-
Grafton of thenext meeting after radical
attempts on the part of the opposing
party to throw it out entirely.
The company claims that to comply
with the requirements would mean an eX-
penditure of S15.C00 for every city block
that their lines traverse.
