New York, Sept. 10.?(j runlet- '
New York and it? environs for
several milea in all directions were '
visited today l>y tho fiercest wind I
and rain storm known hereabouts *
in years. The day began with '
rain, which increased as tho wind, <
blowing 00 miles an hour fiom t
the east, grow stronger and for a
two hours about nidday, the com- ]
hined fury of the elements 1
wrought dumage 011 land and wa- <
ter amounting in tho aggregate to 1
many thousands of dollars. Tho
gale culminated at noon in a wind 1
velocity of 54 miles an hour. Ap- 1
parently solid sheets of# water 1
drove across tho city, drenching
"!
every unfortunate caught without j
shelter, and the gauges at lho<
weather bureau registered 1.30'
inches precipitation in ono hour. I 1
Then the storm subsided. By the *
middle of the afternoon the wind J
hud dropped to u mere breeze, and 1
tho sun broke through the clouds. 11
i . 4
bevorul poisons were injured
but no deaths have been reported. 1
The gale was especially severe '
at sea, causing havoc to tho shipping
down the bay, where many "
vessels were sunk or wrecked. c
The worst of the damage was reported
froui Staton Island. Tho c
eutiro ileot of the Staten Island h
Yacht club at auchor was either r
sunk or wrecked. Tho pilot boat

The hnrriean burst with cyclonij \
force on the centre of the city 1
loosening tho 250 foot spire of "
St. Bartholomew's Protestant \

The streets of Manhattan bor (

I
signs and other debris. Scores
of plate gloss windows along
Broadway were broken. The vi- J'
cinity of tho "Flat Iron" build- ^
ing at Twenty-third street sutler- 1
ed severely in this respect. In "
the "Flat Iron" itself 40 windows '
were smashed. Occupants of the
building say they felt the huge 1
structure sway and many were so 1
badly scared that they left tho 1
building. An express wagon was (
blown over while turning the Flat c
Iron cornor and tho driver and
James Billings, who wero cross r
ing the avenue, were both severely
hurt. A score of others were 1
i I
more or less injured in this neighborhood.

That wis in the long ago when j1

Sam done*, tlio sensational
(ienrgiu preacher, bad a fist lie*lit
Monday with the postmaster of
Uartersville, (?a., Waller Alterman.
According to a dispatch to
The Savannah Morning News, the
iilliculty arose over remarks made
I)}- Mr. .I ones at his tuhernaelo
luting his meeting. Mr. Jones
lenounced Mr. Akct titan for selling
wino and threatened to report
ilitn to President ltoosevelt if he
lid not stop. Mr. Jones said he
tad rather have a decent negro to
tand out his mail than to have a
ivhilc man for post muster who
a'as "ngagod in dealing out damns
ton to hoys and the poor no;roes
in this community.
Mr. Jones called at the postdlice
this morning and asked Mr.
Vkertnan if ho would stop selling
,vine. Mr Akennan agreed to do
io, except when needed lor mcdcinal
pm poses, latter on Mr.
Vkertnan met Mr. Jones and told
lint ho understood that ho had
jailed him n "dirty dog," and
ithor bad nauies, which ho did
lot. propose to put up with. With
heso words Mr. Akcrmau hit Mr
I ones iu the mouth. Mr. Jones
returned tlio lick on Mr. Akernun's
oyo. Friends interfered
iml separated them.
Mr. Jones denies that ho called
Mr. Akorman a dirty dog. Lie
laid that his words at the taberna le
wore as follows: "Will wo
rood people of ('artersvillo let
hese dirty dogs sell thei?' wine
from year to year and ruin our
jliildron?1'
When asked if he was hurt,
Mr. .Jones replied that "the only
hing about him that was sore was
lis list."
Cotton Deteriorated.
The following is a report of
jrop conditions for the past week
is complied by Section Director
Leaner.
The week ending 8 a. in., Mouldy,
September 14, had a morn
tompcraturo of 77 degrees, which
s about 1 degreo above normal.
The extremo. western border
counties and the coast counties
tnul light but (piito general rains,
.hut were.highly benofioial; the
interior of tbo state had none,
except that widely separated
places had light but insuflicient
showers. The average for the
state was 0.11 of an inch. All
mops are suffering for rain
o ' '
Lite corn failod rapidly on all
but moist bottom lunds, owing to
drought, and .vill bo a failuro on
light soils.
With only one or two exceptions
to the contrary, reports on cotton
indicate further deterioration during
the week dne to shedding pre
mature opening, and the rapid
jpreud of rust, owing to lack of
moisture. Much cotton is dead
on sandy lands. There is little
prospoct of a top crop. J loll
worms and caterpillars are reported
from llurnwell county.
rJotton is opening rapidly, some
prematurely, over the whole state,
ind picking is general, and under
ihe favorable weather for the
work niado rapid progress. Soaslaod
cotton is less promising
jwing to shedding and tho appearance
of blight.
