Key West, Fla, Oct 13.-With the
city in the hands of the military au-
thorities, who were called on by the
mayor for assistance, efforts are be-
ing made to concentrate on ascertain
ing the amount of damage done by
the hurricane which swept the gulf.
1t was estimated the damage to prop
erty in the city and harbor would
reach $2,U0O,000 No loss of life was
reported in the city, but the death
toll may be heavy along the eastern
coast of the peninsula.
Many of the vessels which had been
| swept from their moorings during the
blow managed to ride out the storm
during the night and limped back to
their piers, but between sixty and
seventy-five boats of all descriptions
were wrecked. 1t is feared number
of lives were lest on these vessels.
In the city whole blocks of frame
structures were razed, brick houses
also fell before the gale, while the
| great tobacco factories and ware
houses suffered considerable damage
The city Jail is filled to overflow

tary and police during the night
Thieves began operations as soon as
the fury of the storm had abated, the

.PITTSBURG AGAIN
TAKES The LEAD
Defeats Detroit In Fifth Game
Of Championship Series.

Pittsburg, Oct. 14.-Pittsburg took
the lead in the great battle now being
waged for the baseball championship
of the world by defeating Detroit by
the score of 8 to 4 in the fifth game
of the series. A home run by Man.
ager Clarke In the seventh inning
turned the tide in favor of Pittsburg,
as he scored Byrns and Leach in
front of him. Detroit had just tied
the score at 3 TO and appeared to be
dangerous contenders, but Clarke's
terrific hit put them out OF the run
ming.
Charles Adams, the phenomenal
youngster of Pittsbirg, won his Sec
ond game of the series by clearly out
pitching Summers Adams held the
hard hitting Detroit team to six hits,
but two of them we're home runs, one
being made by d. Jones and the other
by Crawford. making three home
runs for the game. The cause OF the
home runs was the low fence which
had been built around the outfield to
hold back the overflow, but there was
not enough people to fill the stands
So this section was vacant and IT was
easy to hit into 1t.
Manager Jennings took another
chance with Ed Summers, who was
batted so lard in the first inning o.
the first game at Detroit, and the De
troit twirler failed to make good. HI
was hit fairly hard and consistently
although he was not to blame for all
/ Pittsburg's scores. Summers was re
lieved by Willett In the ninth innlni
but it was too late.
