TRAIL OF DEATH IN THE SOUTH FROM TUESDAY'S STORM. Cedar Keys, and the Men Telands Have Not Been Heard from -Fears That Cedar Keys Has Been Wiped Out- Perhaps a Hundred Lives Lost on the Hen Islands. ATLANTA, Oct. A despatch from Jacksonville, to the Constitution says: The West Indian hurricane which entered Florida at Cedar Keys on Tuesday morning and swept across the State in a northeasterly direction left death and destruction in its path. Owing to the prostration of the telegraph wires and delay of trains due to washouts, only meagre reports have been received.

They show, however, that over twenty towns and villages have been wrecked and forty or fifty persons have been killed, while probably three times that number have received wounds of more or less severity. About 4 o'clock in the morning the hurricane swooped down on Cedar Keys, a town of 1,500 inhabitants. Thirty-six hours have elapsed since the storm struck Cedar Keys, but not one word bas heen received directly from that place as to the damage done or the number of lives lost. No trains hare been able to reach there, because the tracks are covered by heavy timber. The only report from Cedar Keys comes by way of Gainesville, fifty miles northeast of the Gulf town, and is to the effect that Cedar Keys has been swept away and many persons killed and wounded.

This report reached Gainesville by courier from Williston, which is twenty miles north of the Keys. After demolishing Cedar Keys the storm, moving in a northeasterly direction, struck Williston, a village of 400 inhabitants, in Levy county. At that place eleven houses were wreeked, one person killed, and Atteen Williston is a large turpentine which State convicts are employed. Twenty of these convicts were huddied in a cabin across which the storm blew a great tree, crushing six of the inmates. The hurricane then dashed across Alachua, one of the most populous counties in the State, where number of persons were killed and many more severely injured.

At Fort White, in Columbia county, it is reported that six persons were killed, but the report has not yet been confirmed. In Nassau county, just north of Jacksonville, the burricane seemed to gather additional force. At Boulogne, the schoolhouse, in which there were thirty children, was wrecked and Ave children killed. At Hilliards, the schoolhouse was wrecked and four children were killed. At Kings Ferry, on the St.

Mary's River, Andy Johnson, Moses Sassiter, Simon Henderson, Mary Jones and her child, all negroes, were killed. Two schooners unloading lumber at Kings Ferry were blown from their moorings and landed in a maroon, three of the sailors being killed. From Nassau county the hurricane passed into Georgia, destroying logging settlement in Camden county. just across the line, and killing six persons. Folkston, near Florida line, in Chariton county, was also struck, the schoolhouse being wrecked and four children killed, It is impossible to accurately estimate the property loss in Florida, but conservative men say it will exceed $2,000,000.

SAVANNAH, Oct. sea islands along the coast of Georgia and South Carolina had almost a repetition of the storm of 1893 on Tuesday. Only those who happened to be laugh put in boats were drowned. The number of fatalities on the sea islands is not known, but it is not believed it will go over 100. Twenty negroes were killed on the rice plantations by Callie timbers.

The names could not be secured. The sea island cotton cron is badly damaged, the cotton being beaten down and off the stalk. JACKSONVILLE, Oct. Lacrosse fitteen buildings were destroyed by Tuesday's storm. The Rev.

Henry Sullivan, who was 300 yards away, killed by being struck by one of tho Aying bricks. On Judge Richards's, turpentine farm four convicts were falling trees. In Baker county four towns were almost totally destroyed.

At Lake City eight houses and thirteen residences were destroyed, Mrs. Sarah Fletcher and two boys were killed, and Dora Jennings, Samuel Hudson, and Jonas Mabrey were fatally injured.

RICHMOND, Oct. -The heavy rain at Staunton on Tuesday resulted in the bursting of the dam of the lake at the Fair grounds, the waters of which rushed into Lewis Creek, which runs through the city, and flooded the lower or business section, destroying a vast deal of property and causing a loss of several lives. The bodies of five negroes have been recovered. The loss to property is estimated at $150,000. In the storm on Tuesday night the steeple of the Second Baptist Church was blown off.

A colored church in Manchester, just across the river from Richmond. was unroofed and the steeple blown down, and parts of the steeples of the Broad Street Methodist Church and old St. John's Episcopal Church in this city were carried away.

As part of the history of the storm, official records show that for forty minutes from 11:15 on Tuesday night the wind blew 65 miles an hour, and for one minute of that time attained the maximum velocity of 80 miles an hour. For over twenty hours not a single telephone or telegraph wire was work. ing from Washington north, south, east, or west. All this time the electric cable care run by the underground trolley system were in suocessful operation. Mr.

Wiltem D. Stewart, killed in Alexandria, by the hurricane, was 79 years old and a prominent Free Mason. His occurred in a blaze of electric fames, caused by the contact of telegraph, telephone, and trolley wires. Just as this occurred part of a neighbor's house was The Sun. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1896, BY THE SUN PRINTING AND PUBLISHING WHEAT UP, SILVER DOWN.

GREAT NATURAL DISASTER BE FALLS THE BRIAN CAMPAION. Plain Supply and Demand Knocks the Wind Out of the Calamity Orators, Who Tried to Befool the West with a New Reason for Cheap Cereals and a New Remedy. Nothing has so annoyed the Bryan managers as the recent sharp advance in the price of wheat, while silver keeps going down. The higher prices for wheat at Duluth. St.

Paul, Milwaukee, Chicago, and New York have utterly destroyed the stock argument that has been used by the Bryan speakers with the farmers. These Bryan speakers, ever since the campaign opened, have attempted to influence the farmers by telling them that the reduced price of cereals is the direct result of what they are pleased to call "the crime of '73, or the demonetization of silver." The vast majority of farmers all over the country are thinking people, but in some sections some of the farmers have been taken off their feet by the reiterated statements of Bryan and his speakers, These farmers who had suffered severely from the reduced price of cereals and who in their distress were ready to accept any Quack medicine offered with a promise of relief. All this has been changed by the recent sharp advance in wheat. The price of wheat has gone up approximately 13 cents a bushel within the last thirty days, and this advance has become one of the factors in the political campaign. The Bryan managers see the force of it and are distressed because of its effect in the middle Western, Northwestern, and far Western wheat-growing States.

The Popocratic Chairman, James K. Jones, when he was in town the other day, was very much perturbed. Many of the Bryan shouters have declared within 1 the last -eight hours that these higher prices have been brought about by manipulation. But it i is a matter of indisputable fact that the wheat speculators bare been the only actual sufferers by the advance in wheat. Only in the last two days have the speculators on the Produce Exchange and on the Chicago Board of Trade bezan to get their eyes open.

They have come in at the tail end of the movement, and those with whom a SUN reporter talked yesterday declared that they are now waiting for a reaction in the price wheat before buying for a further advance. McIntyre Wardwell and other wellknown firms on the Produce Exchange, which accept margina for wheat speculations from their customers, have been doing little or nothing On the speculative side of the market. This is true also of the speculators in Dulath. St. Paul.

Milwaukee, and Chicago. other words, the speculators have only just awakened to the situation. The advance in wheat has been caused by legitimate influences and no persons know this better than the Bryan managers. Ex-Gov. Roswell P.

Flower said at Chicago that the reduced price of cereals in America was due entirely to the sharp competition with which American farmers were confronted by the wheat growers of India and Argentina. At the Indianapolis Convention Mr. Flower reiterated his statements and supported them by an elaborate array of facts and figures. All this time the Bryan speakers had been directed to delare that the reduced price for cereals wasdue entirely to the crime of '73 or the demonetization of Mr. Flower's words have been substantiated very much quicker, possibly, than he anticipated.

The cash price for No. 2 red wheat closed last night at 79 cents a bushel, which represents approximately a rise of 13 cents in about thirty days. The stock of wheat, flour, and corn at Liverpool yesterday and a year Ago yesterday is shown by this table: Oct. 1, 1836. Sept.

1, 1896. 1, Wheat, bushels. 1,490.666 2,048,900 0,489.200 Corn, busnels. 805.090 481.200 881.900 Flour, 64,009 77.900 58,800 The table tells in itself the reasons for the recent sharp advance in wheat. To bring them out more clearly a SuN reporter talked at the Fifth Avenue Hotel Inst night with Jacob A mos of Syracuse.

Mr. Amos is one of the largest millers in Onondaga county. He said: The advance in wheat is due the Russian crop is short about 40 per to the fact that and that the crops in India and Argentina have suffered from drought, so much so that the exports from India and Argentina to Europe, especially England and the Continent, have been very much below those of last year. came from Syracuse for the purpose of welcoming my old friends, C. M.

Varner, Dennis McCarthy, and J. C. Bowe, who have just retured from Europe. Mr. Warner was delayed in London a month longer than he expected, and he paid a great deal of attention to the wheat situation.

England, it is well known. prefers to buy her wheat from India and Argentina, but owing to the bad condition of the crops in those two countries, she has been compelled to turn to America. I have looked into this question myself a great deal and made an exhaustive inves. tigation. I have done this because I am a miller and must keep up with the times, I ascertained today on the Produce Exchange and elsewhere that exporters of wheat bave made engagements for ocean freights up to next May.

Very much more wheat could have been ported within the last month if ocean freight room could have been obtained. With this conditton of affairs the tramp steamers will begin to direct their noses toward the harbor of New York. This advance in wheat materially beneAte the farmers. know this because I have wheat which WAS contracted for months AgO now coming in to We at 65 cents a bushel. For all new purchases, however, I have been compelled to pay the farmers 75 cents a bushel.

I am convinced, after my investigations, that Europe will take most of our surplus. This is not a speculative movement. The demand comes from Europe. It 1s an porters' movement. It is a straight supply and demand movement.

The market has got away from the speculators, and they are now awaitIng a reaction in prices: but this reaction does not appear to come. In my travels on the uce Exchange I talked with brokers who have speculative customers, and these brokers sured ine. in fact. showed me their accounts, that the speculative sheets had very many fewer names on them than they have had for several years. The price of flour has gone up 65 cents barrel.

due entirely to an export movement. Naturally, with a short supply of wheat abroad. the demand for four will increase. The porters of corn began to take hold to-day, and there was more corn sold for export than at any time in a number of years, with an advance of two cents a bushel. My friends who have been abroad have looked into the causes for the recent advance wheat, and all in the business are fully aware that the facts are as I tell them to you." Our exports of wheat since the beginning of September have been 6,570,683 bushels, against 3.775,344 for the same period in 1895 and In 1894.

Travellers from Chicago reported last night that the Popocratie national managers in the Windy City bad been completely rattled by the higher prices for wheat. The travellars said the farmers in the wheat-growing States had not been seriously influenced by the rattlebrained arguments of the Bryan speakers, but the honest-money men are very much pleased just the same by the legitimate export demand for wheat at this time, for the reasou that it is the clearest and most substantial argument to refute the nonsense of the Bryan speakers about the real cause for the reduced prices for cereals paid to the farmers within the last year. It may not be uninteresting to add that on Sept. 4 the commercial price of bar eilver in New York was 67 cents an ounce. On Sept.

30 it was 659 cents, So the gold value of the bullion in the silver dollar has been declining while the price of wheat in gold has been rising. RUN DOWN BY A CABLE CAR. A Herkimer Lumber Merchant Injured in Park How. Henry A. Deimel, A lumber merchant, who cane to town from his home in Herkimer.

N. yesterday, on business, will have to walk on crutches for several weeks when he gets back home. He came down town shortly after 1 o'clock in the afternoon to see George P. Folk, another lumber man, who has an office in the Times building on Park row. Mr.

Deimel, who 18 08 years old, had just started to cross from the Post Office when a car of the Third avenue cable came bowling along and. striking bit on the hip, knocked him off his feet. As he fell one of the wheels struck his foot and threw him off the tracks, thereby probably saving him from being mangled. When an found that ambulance the car was wheel summoned had broken the the surgeon bone in the heel. and that Deimel's thigh had also been badly bruised by his fall.

The motorman, whose number was 50, said that Deimel bad stepped in the way of the car when it was utterly impossible to stop it soon enough to prevent him being knooked down. He thought Delmel was going to wait until the car passed. Deimel refused to make any complaint against the motorman, who was scoord. Ingly released from custody. After his foot had been bound up by the surgeon Deimel was taken sway in a carriage, THE For SPAIN STOPS EMIGRATION.

She Doesn't Propose to Have Young Men Flee from Military Service. ASSOCIATION. MADRID, Oct. Government is taking energetic measures to stop the emigration of lower and middle class families to which belong young men liable to military servico. The Government has learned that soveral thousand young men hare gone to South America, France, and Algeria because they were unable to pay the $400 necessary to redeem themselves from serving with the army in Cuba.

THE STORM AT PORT ROYAL. Damage Done st the Naval Station-Dry Deck Uninjured, WASHINGTON, Oct. Navy Department bas received the following report from the commandant of the naval station at Port Royal, 8.

dated Sept. 30, 1896, regarding the storm: "I have to report that on the 29th about 11:30 A. a very violent cyclone, moving with great rapidity from S. E. to N.

struck this station and caused much damage in this part of the country. The greatest violence of the storm, fortunately, was of short duration, or there would have been very serious disaster. The wires were and still are down, and I bave been unable to communicate with the department by telegraph. "On this station the pile driver and two water tanks were blown down and demolished, the cupola roof of the boat house blown off, the tin and gutters on officers' houses and other build. ings partially blown off.

plaster partially blown off in places in officers' houses, class roof of conservatory partly demolished, fences blown down in places, and other damage done, which will be more fully reported. "The force of the wind being from the southeast, a very high tide was caused, and the greatest wind was about the time of high water. This cansed the water to break with great fury over the wing dams of the dry dock. the wharf. and boat house, and also drove the water upon the station in the lowest places.

The early shifting of the wind and the turning of the tide averted any great disaster from the high water. Reports of damage in this vicinity are coming in. It is not believed that the loss of life is great. One seaman was drowned from one of the vessels in the harbor, two large schooners are ashore below the station, and one tug was sunk at the wharf at Beaufort. I am happy to state that as far known no damage occurred to the dry dock or caisson.

I caused the flood valve of the caisson to be opened as the tide rose and allowed it to All with water as high as the air ports. This kept the gate Armly in place, although the sea broke over it furiously." Victim of the Storm is Washington.

Livingston and Robert Morse, the fortunes whose famflies amount to several millions dollars, were of prisoners in Justice Griffith' court here last evening, charged with grand larceny in having stolen a horse owned by Samuel Burnstein, a local merchant. The prisoners are young collegians and are well known among the New York colony of summer residents here.

EIGHTEEN TRAMPS KILLED IN MARYLAND COLLISION. Freight Train Bound Down the Mous. Could Not Be Controlled, Went by the Biding Where It Was to StOp. and Dashed Into Train Coming Up. PITTSBURGH, Oct.

Baltimore and Ohio freight trains, one a runaway down the Alleghany Mountains at a speed of seventy-five miles au hour, and the other slowly toiling up the grade. collided at Philson station, twenty miles east of Cumberland, and ten miles west of Sand Patch, about 1 o'clock this morning. In the collision eighteen men, all said to be tramps, were killed outright. Train 74, east bound, after leaving Sand Patch tunnel, became unmanageable and not at the siding. where it could, be, stopped.

The west- bound train had a helper, and the crash when the three engines came together was such that fifty-one cars were thrown from the traok. a said that Conductor when his Harbaugh train of reached train 74, Sand east bound, Patch, and just before descending the heavy grade, a test was made of the air brakes on sixteen cars, which comprised about one-half of the train. Everything was found in good working order. With a crew made up of old and experienced men they started east. While going through the Sand Patch tunnel the conductor felt the train check twice in rapid succession dash ahead, and when it passed out of hide then.

nel it was going at lightning speed and running away. As the engine shot around the curve at Philson the engineer saw the headlight of No. 95 ahead and swung himself off in the darkness. He was hurled down over the mountain side. The east- bound train struck the other with an awful crash.

Every car on the former was thrown toward the common centre of the collision. The engines were crushed into scrap iron, and many of the cars on the west-bound train were destroyed. The was piled in a vast heap higher than the telegraph wires. Ag soon as the news of the wreck reached Pittsburgh, Superintendent Cutter started for Philson on light engine. Ho reached there about 2 A.

and is personally conducting the work of clearing the tracks. The eastern exprese, which left Pittsburgh at 9 o'clock last night, was held at Rock wood, where the Somerset and Cambria branch to Johnstown intersects the main line. At daylight it was decided to advance the train to the scene of the wreck, where the passengers were transferred around it. The Cleveland Baseball Club was on the express bound for Baltimore to open the Temple cup series of games. When the wrecking crews, which were sent from Connellaville and Cumberland, got to work they made a temporary hospital for the train men.

none of whom is fatally hurt. When the debris was digged out bodies of the dead were found. By 8 A. M. the remains of six men, all dressed like tramps, were recov.

ered. The bodies were in the piles of wreckage which obstructed the tracks. This evening ten additional bodies were At 11 o'clock to-night there remains a considerthe afternoon, make a total of eighteen dead. picked out. These, with two discovered during a able mass of wreckage, and some trainmen are certain other dead men will be tound.

At this season the B. and 0. trains carry hundreds of stowaways east and to the south, and often from forty to sixty secrete themselves on one train. On the east-bound train which left Pittsburgh on Wednesday afternoon there were seven machinists going East to hunt work. All of these are thought to be among the killed.

Officials of the road think that the tramps. some of whom probably desired to leave the train at Sand Patch, cut the air circuits of train No. 74. It may be possible to verify this by an examination of the few cars which were not demolisbed. The officials say the search will reveal that the tramps are to blame.

The grade where the runaway occurred is one of the steepest on the line, and the Baltimore and Ohio Company has always taken special pains to instruct its trainmen on the necessity of being on the alert and exercising the best of judgment in making the descent. It starts in the middle of the Sand Patch tunnel and runs to Hyndman. a distance of seventeen miles. The grade is about 125 feet to the mile. In most cases it requires every brake on a heavy train to be set to hold it under control.

It requires two engines to push some trains up the grade. OFFICES NEARLY SMOKED OUT. Tract Society's Tenants Made Unhappy 4 Perambulatiag Hell Machine." What the indignant janitor called a "perambulating hell machine' started business just in front of American Tract Society at Nassau and Spruce streets, yesterday afternoon and all but smoked out the occu. pants of the offices. Its business was to burn out the asphalt pavement, preparatory to repayIng it, and while it was in operation the street was closed at both 'ends of the block.

but unfortunately it couldn't be closed at the top. A briek breeze carried thick smoke straight in at the front doors of the building and the elerator shafts did the rest. In about three minutes after the hell machine broke loose the smoke was making every hall in the building look blue, and the tenants were aiding in the good work. In ten minutes it had permeated the offices. and terrified typewritere, with dishevelled feelings, were fleeing along the passages, begging in choking accents to be saved from impending doom.

Some two hundred indignant office occupants sought out the janitor, and. in accents of strangled profanity. demanded that the nuisance be abated. And a nuisance it certainly wAS, of the very worst variety. That smoke had a peculiar quality of its own.

It not only Alled eyes and nose and mouth, but it got down into the pit of your stomach and gave rise to wishes that you hadn't eaten any lunch. combined with doubts as to your ability to retain what you had eaten. The janitor said he couldn't do anything about it. The tenants insisted on his responsibility in the matter. Well, I ain't running the he declared.

Who is. then they demanded. don't know. The city. The asphalt company.

Go and talk to "Drive the thing AwAy, then." Ron it off the block." Kill the men thatare running it." Make 'em wait till night." Do something." But there wasn't anything to do. For fifteen minutes the hell machine fumed and smoked and the tenants fumed and choked and used language inappropriate in a Tract Society's building. Finally the cause of all the trouble moved on, and all that was left as reminis. conce was a pervading odor. some few hundred men who swore they'd complain to Mayor Strong in the morning.

and a small black patch on the asphalt in front of the building. KILLED BY HIS OWN GUN. It Was Lying in a Boat and Mockel Hit the Trigger with Ilis Foot.

Deike ran for assistance to the nearest police station, more than A mile When the police took Moekel from the water he had been dead for some time. He was 26 years old.
