GREAT COAST STORM LEFT
HEAVY TOLL OF DEATH AND
LIST WILL GROW
SAVANNAH SUFFERS
Practically Every House in the GeOr-
gia City Was Damaged
Dead at Charleston.

Charleston. S. c., Aug. 29-With
Charleston in darkness tonight, her
streets Uttered with brbken trees,
fences and other debris; nearly all
Skipping in the harbor badly damag-
ed; the docks lifted out of place; six
torpedo boats ashore and great dam
age done in the Navy Yard, and the
water which was blown into the city
by the great storm of Sunday night
receding, the authorities are making
every effort to ascertain the exact
toll of death, which already reaches
twelve.
Communication is still interrupted
with points North and South of this
city, and it is impossible to learn any
thing from those directions. No word
has come from the Sea Islands, some
distance out, but it is feared that the
loss of life there has been large, as
the Island must have been complete
ly submerged by. the great seas blown
in by the IS mile gale. The Steamer
Apache, of the Clyde Line, limped in
to. port this morning, REPORTING a
terrific storm, but the Steamship
Lexington, of the Merchants and
Mariners Line, is ashore Off Hunt
ington Island. AS far as known all
other shipping is safe. 1t will be
several days before the total of dead
and injured is known and the extent
of the property damage ascertained.
Buildings UnrOofed.
Savannah, Ga, Aug. 29.-Scores OF
buildings are without roofs today,
practically every house in the city is
damaged to some extent and the
streets are Uttered with fallen trees
and poles as a result of the terri
fic storm which spread devastation on
all sides Sunday and Monday.
The damage done to property in
this city cannot be estimated and
there are several persons reported
missing The cotton crop for fifty
miles around was badly damaged and
shipping suffered heavily. The en-
tire roof was torn from the new Hotel
Tybee and hundred houses on Tybee
Island were raised from their founda-
tons.

tend the prayer meeting tonight at

NATURAL s Gas PIPES ~,
No Great Delay Will Be Occasioned
When Local Construction Work is
Completed.

There is going to be little if any
delay in bringing natural gas to this
city immediately after the force of
workmen, who>are now laying pipe in
this city, complete>their work. 1t is
expected that gas wilf>ae turned into
the pipes here about Octobex 1, the de-
lay thus far having been occasioned
by the inability of the Arkansas
Natural Gas Company to get a SHIN
ment of clamps, which were ordered
some time ago. They have been wait
ing for the shipment for two weeks
now and they are expected most any
day.
A force of engineers are at work
now on West Fourth avenue bringing
the main pipe East on that street
through the city, but it is not known
how far the pipes will be laid towards
the Eastern city limits.
The main pipe is being laid on West
Fourth avenue. This will serve as
a feeder for all lines running North
and South and. also connect with
lines running East and West in the
city. That the company is going
ahead with it's work here is evidence
that there will be no hitch as far as
any objections are concerned to GER
tain features in the franchises grant
ed the company here Or elsewhere.

The State expected to rest its case
today, but an unexpected statement
from one of it's own witnesses caused
the delay. A boy named Alexander
| Robertson was called to swear that
| he had picked up in the roadway, at
a point where pool Of blood indf-
Gated the place of the Staying, a yell
low she'll hairpin, belonging to Mrs.
Beattie. The lad told this, went on
unasked and VOLUNTEERED the state
ment that he had come across a sec
ond pool of blood about mile and a
Iihalf along the Midlothian turnpike
towards Young Mrs. Beattie's home.
This indicated merely that part Of
Henry Beattie's story-that part to
the effect that he had hurried home
Immediately after the ihighwayman
had shot his wife and had stopped a
mile and half away to light lamp
that had gone out-was true. The
second pool of blood would have
gathered while he stopped because
his wife's body naturally was bleed
ing freely. This would not have hurt
the States case, but Attorney Wend-
enberg lost his head over the trifle
and announced that he had been taken
by surprise and would call tomorrow
csx s,1,A ~ fn u
testimony of the Robertson boy. The
efendant-though why he should
not, no one could tell-rejoiced openly
over this trifling point that his side
seemed to have won.
The first witness of the day was
Paul Beattie, who yesterday told of
his Cousins confession to him. He
was examined by Harry Smith,
counsel for the defense. Smith got
little out of him at all. Paul's posi-
ton seemed to win for him the SYM
pathy of the jury.
He was asked why his solicitude
for Henry led him to keep quiet until
Henry's confession yesterday. The
boy said frankly: "Mr. Smith, what
does solicitude mean. 7 don't know.
The Jury didn't either. And when
Smith explained they openly sided
with the witness, who was obviously
of his own class. 1t was expected
that Smiths cross-eXamination might
throw Paul into one of his occasional
epileptic fits; but he came through
it stronger than when he started.
When it was over he went out upon
the lawn. surrounding the court
house, smoked couple of cigarettes
and drank one glass Of whiskey from
a flask of friend. I
Other witnesses In the main, cor
roborated Paul's story. 1t is ex-
pected that sometime tomorrow the
Commonwealth will rest its case and
the defense will begin. Young Beat
tie will probably be the last witness
the defense hoping he may prove
as strong that his words will contra
dict every damaging thing the States
witnesses have aid/against him.

Canada's Flagship
Has Narrow Escape
When Hits Lodges
New Navy Nearly Loses Half Its
Strength-Goes Ten Miles Under
Own Power After Accident.
+ After Accident.

HALIFAX, July 3i.-The new Canadian
navy was nearly deprived Of half its
strength today when the flagship Niobe
crashed on the lodges southwest of Cape
Sable. Four hours later II was fioated,
leaking badly. and the vessel proceeded
under its own power to shag harbor ten
miles away, where It is at anchor, with
six fathoms of water and a soft mud
bottom under II.
The first to reach the side OF the dis
abled cruiser was the United states revenue
cutter Androscoggin, which was cruising
in the vicinity. The Niobes wireless call
for help was picked up by the Androscog-
gin, which promptly flashed back that IL
would stand by to help. Through a dense
fog and heavy sea which is believed to
have been the cause OF the Niobe's acci-
dent, the Androscoggin rushed. and was
standing by the Canadian cruiser when the
Canadian governments Lady Laurier and
Stanley, which had been sent to the scene,
arrived from st. John, N. B.. with the tug
McNaughton of Yarmouth
The Niobe, however found that 1t was
able to take care of itself. Although water
was pouring into several compartments
its pumps kept It fairly clear, and Com
mander Mcdonald of the cruiser, express
ing his thanks to the American cutter for
its help, proceeded to a safe harbor, con-
voyed only by the tug.
