HURRICANE SWEPT
OUT TO THE SEA
Tropical Storm Leaves Ruin in
Its Wake.
LOSS RUNS INTO MILLIONS
Danger Warnings Are Issued by
Weather Bureau-Heavy Gales
Predicted-VioIent Earth
quakes Recorded.

New York.-Leaving trail OF
stranded craft, ruined crops and
wrecked buildings in it's wake, the
tropical hurricane which ravaged the
South Atlantic coast has swept out to
sea.
Savannah was the first city to report
that the storm had passed oceanward.
Jacksonville followed with word that
the tempest was over, leaving strand
ed craft to mark it's fury. Several YES
sells went ashore at Key West, one be-
ing dashed to pieces against the sea
wall
While 1t has been impossible accu-
rately to estimate the loss, it is be-
lieved that it will mount into millions.
A singular feature of the reports is
that only fourteen have been added
| to the death list, twelve being reported
| from the earlier storm in Pinar del Rio
province, Cuba.
Details of storm damage along the
| lower Florida coast are still lacking,
owing to the prostration of telegraph
and telephone wires and the Interrupt
/ ton of railway service south OF st.
Augustine.
Reports from Jacksonville, Fla, tell
| of three persons drowned and of sew
eral million dollars property damage.
Every telegraph wire in Florida south
! of Jacksonville is down. The wind in
that vicinity is blowing at the rate
| of so miles an hour, with very low
| barometer.
| 1t is reported that half the buildings
in the town of Mayport, II miles be-
low Jacksonville, at the mouth Of the
| st. Johns river, were wrecked. 1t is
almost certain that there was loss of
life there. The population of May
! port is about 700.
Several schooners were dismasted
and sunk in the harbor.
| At Key West the hurricane tore
away the roofs of houses, shook mum
Der of buildings from their founda-
lions, blew vessels from their moor
! ings and did other damage, the extent
of which cannot yet be estimated.
Three persons persisted in the storm.
The South Beach section and the
| western part of the city suffered the
| greatest effects from the storm. The
sea poured over the low-lying shores
and many houses facing the ocean
were either wrecked or blown from
their blocks.
Tybee reports a gale blowing, with
the heavy seas breaking over the
retaining walls of the government
reservation at Fort Screven and the is
land almost flooded.
Havana, Oct. 18.-The island OF
Cuba has probably sustained the
greatest material disaster in all her
history in the practically continuous
cyclone which began with light rains
on Thursday morning, developing into
torrential floods and devastating hur-
ricanes. The western half of the is
land suffered more severely than the
east

CENTER OF POPULATION.

In the predictions as to the show
ing which the census figures would
make there was one virtually agreed
upon-that the center of population
would be shifted some distance west
ward from its location in 1890, which
was six miles southeast of Columbus,
Ind, says Toledo Blade. But this pre-
diction was one of the kind which
goes wrong. The census people have
tentatively announced that the mark
will have to be moved but slightly.
The west has f1ourished tremendous
ly in ten years. 1t has gained not
only new railroads, but the old rail-
roads have been renewed. Irrigation
has caused new lands to be cultivated
and new cities and towns to be build
ed. Such cities as Seattle have
profted in wealth and population by
the opening of new territory, the de-
velopment of new resources, the fill
ing in of the once deserted spaces be-
tween town and town. But in these
same ten years an immense immigra
ton has been distributing itself in the
eastern cities-among the coal mines
and steel plants of Pennsylvania, in
the industrial districts of Lake Erie
1t has offset the settlement of the
far west.

WELLMAN AGAIN IN PORT
AFTER HIS SEA RESCUE
York in Safety-WilIing to
Try 1t Again.

New York-Walter Wellman and
his five companions were landed here
by the steamship Trent, which picked
them up at sea after they had aban-
doned their dirigible balloon America,
and failed in the first attempt ever
made to cross the Atlantic in diri-
gible balloon After landing the party
was taken to the Waldorf-Astoria,
where Wellman will make his head
quarters for time.
Barring a few injuries to his right
arm and one of the fingers OF his
right hand, the man who directed this
daring attempt to cross the ocean Il
a gas bag returns in good physical
shape although his nerves are some
what shattered and he has reached
the conclusion that in the present de-
velopment of the dirigible the task
he undertook is hopeless one.
News of the rescue came in two
wireless messages from Capt. Down
of the Trent, one reporting to the
company agents here and another in
forming the New York Times of the
result of the expedition in which it
had taken leading part. Both wire
less messages practically told the
same story.
Captain Down reported that at five
o'clock Tuesday morning he first
sighted the airship. Signals of dis
tress and calls for help were given.
For three hours the Trent Unanswered

Wellman and his wrecked companions.

ATHLETICS WIN SECOND
GAME BY SCORE OF g TO 3
Chicago Nationals Again Defeated by
the PhiladeIphians in Worlds
Championship Series.
STANDING OF WORLDS SERIES.

PhiladeIphia.-By score of 9 to 3
the Philadelphia American league
team took the second game from the
Chicago National players in the sec
ond contest in the worlds champion
ship series
The American league champions,
who now have won two straight con-
tests, looked superior to their oppo-
nents in both hitting and pitching.
They outhit the Chicagos, fourteen
to nine, and Jack Coombs, who was
opposed by Mordecai Brown, had a
big shade over the latter twirler.
While he did not prove as effective
as Bender, Coombs was unhittable in
the pinches, when he did magnificent
work. Like Bender, he mixed his
curves well, using speed, curves and
a slow one alternately.
Brown did not appear at his best,
as his deceptive curve ball did not
break with the sharpness that it usual
ly does. Brown also lacked the con-
troll and after getting two and three
balls on his opponents he was COM

PEELED to stick the next over AS a
result the Athletics hit timely and
cinched the victory in the seventh
round, when six runs we're secured off

The seventh inning proved the Wa
terloo for the Chicago boys, although
they scored a run. Sheckard hit into
the crowd for two bases and scored
when Chance singled to center.
Philadelphia.-Th the mas
terly pitching of Chief" Bender
the Philadelphia American baseball
team defeated the Chicago Nationals
by a score of A to / in the initial
game of the worlds championship
series. The game was witnessed by

The official attendance was 26,S91,
and the total receipts were $37, 424.50
The home crowd went wild with en-
thusiasm as inning after inning
passed and the champions swung
helplessly at Bender's curves. The
widely argued question of whether
Chance and his men could hit the
famous Philadelphia received a de-
cisive answer. They could not, and
as a result the betting on the series
has of a sudden readjusted itself.
The game was a wonder in it's way,
and Chief Bender, who pitched for
the Athletics, had the Chicagoans at
his mercy up to the ninth inning,
when he let down a bit and the Cubs
got their single tally. 1t was not
earned at that, as Tinker, who scored
the run, was only enabled to make
single because Thomas had previously

And yet any country macadam highway will show miles of horse beaten pathway in the center of the road, where the destructive steel corks on the horses shoes have worn into the stone roadbed and created deep trenches. This is wear of the worst kind, and yet no special tax is placed on it
 We have yet to hear that the auto mobilists ask anything more than fair treatment in return for the taxation placed upon them. That they are unfairly legislated against unfairly taxed and unfairly treated is apparent to anyone acquainted with the condi- tions with which they are confronted, and if, later on. they seek redress from these conditions, by way of the Legis- lature, they cannot be blamed. Such action would be nothing else than self defense.
