McLEAN MEDICINE St. Louis, Mo. Columbia and Nassaacunties come similar stories of wreck aid death.

The death roll by counties so far as has been reported stands about an follows: Cedar Keys 28. Levy county (outside of Cedar Keys) 13, Alachua county 12. Baker county 7, Bradford county Columbia county 9, Suwanee county Nassau couuty 14. It must be remembered that the above Is by uo means complete. The telegraph wires are prostrated and the mail service deranged, so that no reports have been received from many point iu the TRACK Ob- THE HLKKICANE.

Then, too, the fate of many of the spongers off Cedar Keys will never lie known, and they will be reported us missing" and "uo't accounted for." But the dead are In some respects better off than the living. It is all over with those whose lives were snuffed out by the gale's fierce blasts, but the living are left shelterless aud without food, to take up the almost hopeless task of rehabilitation. It is estimated to-night that there are full 12iR people iu the State who are depeudent ou their more fortunate neighbors for shelter and food. Iu some counties the people, appalled by the situation, are talking of petitioning Gov. Mitchell to convene the Legislature, -that the State's aid may be voted.

The storm was an odd one. It seemed to strike iu tpots. It would pluuge ahead for miles, all before it. aud then apparently rise up aud skip for a few miles. It was this oddity of the hiirri.

cane that SJtved Huval couuty and Jacksonville. Ihe hurricane lunged right through Baker county and to the edge of Duval county, in which Jacksonville is located. Then it rse up, passed over Iiuvsl and Jacksonville, and dropped down in Nassau county, just north, and continued its destructive work, and the hurricane did its work with marvelous quickness. It struck Cedar Keys and Levy couuty at o'clock Tuesday morning, swept over Alachua, Columbia. Bradford, Suwanee and Baker counties, skipped Duval and Jacksonville, dropped down and devastated Nassau county aud passed out into Georgia by 10 o'clock.

In five aud a half hours the hurricane had devastated six populous counties and was gone up the Atlantic coast on Its mission of death. Six hours after the storm entered the State the sun was shining as its can only shine in Florida, but it was shining on a hundred or more corpses, scores of wrecked towns and villages, devastated rural districts and 1200 homeless men and women and children.

Oct. 3. Further advices from, the reglou devastated by the recent storms say no one can conceive of the situation of the ieople of the western part of Alachua and the eastern part of I-afayc-tte counties. Left homeless with no food, the cotton crop destroy and no resources at band, starvation stares them In the face. So serious.

Indeed, is their situation that the people who have visited thetu are earnestly advocating a special session of the Legislature to make some provision for them. In the western part of Alachua county, where thousands of people live, most of whom were well-to-do farmers, ail of their homes have been destroyed, together with the provisions that they had stored for winter. At Yulee the storm made a cleaner path than at any other point. Not a tree remains standing, every store is down and some parts of the buildings were carried fur three miles. Goods such as clothing aud dress fabrics were found five miles away, tossed around trees or floating iu the Suwanee river.

The iieople gathered what lumber they could find, and together with logs have made a camp In which men. women and children are being sheltered by the hundreds. Their food Is needy gone. They cannot use wagons or horses to get a fresh supplv, but have wnt men to Itruudford and" thev will make an effort to bring groceries" down the Suwanee river iu a boat. Nearly every house in Lafaveite count litis been destroyed.

Nothing is left at Jiayo. the county seat. Joss to the phosphate piantj Is estimated at Ju Lafayette couuty the valuable cedir forests are lost. Stock has bi-cn killed by the hundreds. All ere have tieen destroyed mid hundreds of people are iu distress.

They ha no homes and nothing to eat. To add to their distress, their farms are covered with trees, which wi'i have to be removed before the farns can be cultivated. The turpentine men on either side of the river are rhianeiaily ruiicd. All had invested all the mouev thev posscwed in lurpeutice lauds nu.astills. and everything is destroyed.

Nearly all of them have discharged etery laborer they had. This means that at least 25ti0 men are out of employment. Most of the laborers, many of whom have families, must live on charity until they can find something to do. In Suwanee county many houses were undermined and blown dewn. The clearing of roads of trees will cost Suwanee county There are twenty-two tor pentine stills, with their equipment camps and hands between Lake City mid Cedar Key.

Talk In Sugar ircles Over the Reported ParrliMf of the New Jersey Concern. The dispatch from New York stating that a body of New Orleans capitalists had purchased the new sugar retiuery at Camden. N. which has been in course of erection for nearly three years, aronsed a good deal of speculation among members cf the Louisiana Sugar aud lllce Exchange and the New Orleans Board of Trade. Some thought that E.

II. Cunningham, a Texas sngar man. owning several refineries throughout the State, with one very tine one at Sugar Land, near Houston, was to be an associate with Mr. 11. K.

Hawley in the new Eastern venture, but other well posted men discredited this theory and rather inferred that the Sugar Trust was buck of the wholw deal. K. B.

this State, aud runs a large plantation iu connection with it. Owing to the fact that the Sugar Trust people never talk alout new deals and the adventures of the trust in a commercial way. it is iniHssiliIe to say whether it is back of the Camden movement or not. but is a strong susplciou that it is The new refinery at Camden, Is one of the finest and complete in the I'uited Stales, having cost something like It is now complete in every detail and has the advantage of two large fiers on the IMuware river. The reports at various times of late that it was about to begin operations has had a very disturbing elVeet on the suuariuar-ket and on the prli-e of Sugar Trust or American tiffining Company share.

Trade Rivalry llrtweea Great Britain and Germany. Washington. Oct. States Consul Moore, at Weimar, Germany, has nude a report to the State Hepartment ou the trade rivalry between Great Britain and Germany, using as his text a remarkable work entitled -Made in Germany," which Is just now giving rise to great discussion iu Kngiaud and has had the effect of arousing the British merchants to the necesstty of making extensive reforms in present methods In order to retain the trade they have at present. Mr.

Moore calls attention to the curious fact that, whereas the government in snecial act provided for the stamping of all goods imported into from Germany with tlie words ''Made iu Germany," with the deliWrate purpose of restricting their importation, the effect has tieen exactly the reverse, as is shown clearly in the rec.rt. The report gives many figures to show the enormous In-roaus the Germans have lecu making of late years Into British trade, and the reasons assigned are not that the Germans pay lower wages, hut that the cost of production is less in Germany owing to the superior technical processes and economy iu uiaimfucturing.

Storm in Eorida the Worst Ever Known in the State. Cedar Keys Practically Wiped from the Face of the Earth. Twentj-Eigbt Persons Known, to Be Dead in the Town Tropcr. Corpses of rourteen Spongers Wasaed Up by the Wavesi-Tfca Sea Swallows Up Scores of Others. Sjeclal to The Timet Demo, rat Jacksonville.

Oct. 2. -As the reports of the storm come in they show conclusively that never before has the fury of the elements wrought such destruction of life and projierty iu this State. The death list will easily reach one hundred now. and It is certain that it will largely exceed this number when all the truth is known.

There is no way of accurately estimating the property loss, but no estimate places It under many place it at double that amount. The chief interest centres in the condition of Cedar Keys, for there the hurricane entered the State, and the ravages of the wind were augmented by the horrors of fire and flood. Advices from Cedar Keys to-day stat that the first reports of the damage done by the elements were not exasperated. The town has been practically wiped out, the property loss being estimated at hundreds of thoust'-Uds of dollars. The death list.

too. iu that ill fate town is growing. Last night it was reported at twenty. To-days reports swell it to twenty-eight. Of the tweuty-eigut deaths only the following names can be learned: Campbell (colored).

Samuel Cause (white). Mrs. Charles Iloan aud two children (white). Saw Iioblnson (white. Geo.

Havens (white), Grau Havens whlte), lleury Havens (white), Mrs. Beat hum (white). Tbesw twenty-eight victims met their deaths in Cedar Keys proper, aud to them must be added the corpses of fourteen unknown spongers washed ashore on the coast below the town. The fate of THE HUNDRED SrONGINtJ AND FISHING CUAFT anchored off the bar below Cedar Keys Is not yet certainly known, but there can be no doubt that the larger portion of the schooners went down with all on board. No such frail craft could have lived In such a wind as came sweeping over the Gnlf on that fateful uioruiug.

Then, too. the night was still and the spongers were (inauspicious of danger. The hurricane came with such awful suddeness that there was uo time to prepare the vessels to meet the shock. 1'arties who wen; out to the Cedar bar to-day report that they saw the masts of rive schooners protruding just above the water. It Is believed by watermen at Cedar Keys that the fate of these Ave scUooner was the fate of the majority of the sponging fleet.

Many of the schooners were undoubtedly blown ashore and their wrecks will be found later on. The wrecks of the Gertrude aud the Bosaiio were reported yesterday, and the wrecks of four more schooners were found to-day down the coast. In the cabin of the Gertrude were found the bodies of eight men who were drowned while they were asleep. Mr. W.

II. Andersor. one of Cedar Keys most promlneut citizeus, describes the tidal wave as TIIK MOST AWFFL SIGHT he ever witnessed. Mr. Anderson was iu the uper story of his house looking seaward about 7 o'clock.

He savs that the waters of the Gulf at that time did uot seem to be alarmingly high, but iu an instant this was changed and a wall of foamy water came plunging over the town. The bnildiugs. alreaiiy shattered by the guie's fury, went down like sticks. It was soon over, but iu the few minutes that the wave lasted it had done irreparable damage, 't hose places left standing at Cedar Keys have mud in them sev-erul feet deep. Some of tlie rooms are almost tilled with mud.

Mr. Anderson says that he had uo adequate conception of the meaning of the word -horror" until he saw that great wall of water rise up frum the Guif and fall upou the town. The reports from other points in the track of the storm are just as bad as those from Cedar Keys, differing only i'i the number of the dead. Levy count nas been desolated and the citizens of i-roiisoii report over families home less and without food. The people of Bronson.

who were but slightiv injured are doing all in their power to aid tue unfortunates, but their means are whollv inadequate and au appeal for help has beea issued. In Alachua county it is Just as bad Major Culleii, who has returned to Gainesville from Towuseud's Ferrv. on the Suwanee river, reports that the cue cannot be describel. He savs hundreds are WITUolT SUELTEtt AND FOOD, and many farmers in that county' are niiued. Trees are down in every direction, and it took him fifteen hour to travel elghteeu miles Oft horseback.

The als.ve is the way things remain iu the entire eastern part of the comity, ami in fact mi er cent of the people are suffering for food and shelter. In linker county the situation Is well nigti indescribable. Sheriff l'oas. of thnt county, was in Jacksonville to-dar. and he tells a harrowing tale.

"One will have to see for h'mself to fully realize the awful damage done 1 the storm." snid Sheriff Pons. "Hundred of thousands of trees are prostrate in all directions, and hundreds of houses are completely wrecked Hit of the thousand houses in 'the county it is no exaggeration to say that all. wltii the exception of a dozen, have been wrecked, and families are in the most dire disfes. hundreds not having food to eat. Thousands of cattle were killed and the loss tremendous.

Since the storm I have lieen In the saddle night end day. and everywhere I went my heart blAl with sympathy for the poor peoole r. ho are without a shelter for their heads at night. I estimate that fully a hnudred were Injured, and there i tel-lug how many were killed. Three peonle were killed near Oinstce.

Jacksonville, Oct. 2. Communication with the interior Is restored and the news of the destruction of property and life by Tuesday's hurricane becomes more appalling. Hundreds of persons are homeless and muit suffer from hunger unless relief shall be quickly furnished. Iieports to the Citizen from seventy-six different towns.

Including all of the Important points iu Levy. Lafayette, Suwanee, Columbia, Bradford and Baker conn-ties show that sixty-seven persons were killed and sixty-two injured. These are the known casualties. To this total probably a considerable nnmber must he added to cover those not yet heard from. The loss of life was greatest at Cedar Keys, on the Gulf of Mexico, where the hurricane entered the State.

Over half of the kliown denths occurred at that place. The destruction of valuable timber, turpeiiliue trees, farm crops, phosphate works and Lulldlnss tf every description in the counties mentioned, forming a belt across the State from southwest to northeast, will aggregate lumdreds of thousands if not millions of dollars. Full tiiid authentic advices from Cedar Keys lute to-night show the almost total destruction of the town and the loss of thirty-nine lives. This Is believed to Include tlie complete roil of the dead. At Shell Mound, a great pleasure resort near th place, a party of fiv men, three women and throe children were camping out.

Some survivors making their way home after the storm found eleven dead IsMlies strewn on the shore nndf logs aud brush. They were close together, which would Indicate that they were simultaneously killed hy the tidal wave. Eight otVer bodies have been found on tlie lieacb. Twenty more fishermen are still to le heard from, all of whom are probably dead. During the hurricane at Cedar Keys he water came up with the wind, ainl down the principal streets rushed a mad torrent upon which floated houses, Ixiats and debris-of every description.

While the tempes; was at its height, the Bette-lini House. tht hlenimer House and Jobu Sherrill's residem-e took fire and were burued. Tha destruction property was as follows: Fmr miles of the Florida Central ami Peninsular Railway, most of its trestle wo's wasnea away: four cedar mills and an l-e factory badly damaged: the custom house and W. T. McCleary's fish house wasted to sea.

and the high school building, the Methodist and Christiau churches. the Beatty building and negro churches crushed like eggshells. Tlie loss is estl mated rt Great Daniag? Don on the I'pper Potomac. Washington, Oct. 2.

Iieports from the upper 1'otomac show that the high winds did great damage to property this side of the mountains. In addition to the wind there was a cloudburst that soon changed the small tributaries into raging torrents, carrying away much farm property and washing away many bridges. On the Short Spin- liaiiroad. leading from Hancock to Berkeley Springs, all of the bridges, thirteen in uumlter. were carried off.

1'otomac is rising steadily here, the water being up at low tide nearly to the floor of the long bridge and to the ton of the docks. Serious damage iniiiht follow a rainfall, which Is now threat ening. Tlie Potomac began falling to-day. and as the wind has been favorable it is believed danger of a serious flood bus passed.
