the past thirty-six hours, which has
been threatening to be serious, the

miles an hour but, according to re-
ports, only the tail-end of the storm
struck this city, and while in Savan-
nan, Charleston, and other nearby
ports, serious damage to property re-
suited, the gale in this city was not
severe enough to cause any damage
at all.
Without any notice whatever the
Wind started to blow at a high veloc-

from southwest to northeast, and
many anxious people remained awake
fearing a fierce storm. Yesterday the

accompanied by a heavy rain, and
last night it seemed that the gale
blew harder and many inquiries were
received at The News office asking
for information concerning the storm
Telegraph wires around Charleston
were put out of commission by the
gale and nothing could be received
from that city during the day A tele-
gram, however, received by The News

resulted.
It is expected that the gale will
pass on by us today as the prediction
is for generally fair weather, west
to northwest winds, diminishing dur
ing the day.
