Kinston, N. C.?Over long-distance var
jfcom Beaufort came assurance of the
afety of the 1,000 people at Ocracoke mei
~ fcndd Portsmouth, isolated places on
dhe long trip bordering the seacoast. ^
rave fears were held that these vil- ^
lages, located on the lowest place on ?
B 4he coast and many miles from main- \
B land, had been swept away by storm
r tide of Wednesday's gale.
There was every reasonable doubt
that the settlements could stand the
*ale, because it is a fact that in 1899
a tide from a lesser storm did great
damage. With 10 feet of water in
the streets of towns far in as Washington
and Newbern, it was considered
probable that only the bare beach
remained on sites of the little "Banks" |
towns. jj
Aqmo era, ir? TTinctnn is now eS- k
timated at about $10,000, tbe greatest j
los sbeing sustained by the telephone
companies and the city electric sysv
tem. However, the damage to cotton
in the county will be between $100,000
and $200,000, from 10 to 20 per
cent Corn and other crops suffered
In lesser degree. |
New.bern, N. C.?According to information
brought to Morehead City by
a boatman from Atlantic the reports
regarding the destruction of life and
property at Ocracoke and Portsmouth
are greatly exaggerated. The storm |
and flood did much damage to Ocra- 1
coke and also at Portsmouth, both |
places being submerged and much
property was destroyed; but it is almost
certain that no life was lost at
either place.
Greenville, N. C.?Town and country
alike show the ravages of the
w.orst storm remembered in this section,
crops being damaged by wind and
r>/~iTrarorl with and
nacci, succw _
many houses the worse for year. lCotton
just opening is badly hurt, ?
while the stalk is often broken and
torn to pieces. Corn is blown down
and, unless harvested very soon, will
rot. Not many roofs could withstand
the rain which beat upon them like
hail.
Scotland Neck, N. C.?Greatest dam- j K
age wrought by the storm in this ; 8
county seems to have been to crops, 8
this being Variously estimated at from ^
10 to 50 per cent. Some say the dam- ^
age to Halifax through crops alone j
will reach $500,000. The Roanoke j 1
/ River farms, the largest in the coun- j
ty, are the hardest hit. Cotton, corn j ^
and peanuts are all flat on the ground, j
Thaw Case Goes to King's Bench. !
Coaticook, Que.?Harry K. Thaw j
will be produced before the full i
King's Bench, appeal side, at Mon- j ?
treal on the morning of September 15. ^
Two of his counsel, J. N. Greens'nields !
and N. K. LaFlamme, obtained a
double writ?habeas corpus and prohibition?at
Montreal and whirled in a J
special train to Coaticook, where not
long before the immigration authorities
had ordered Thaw's deportation
from the Dominion. There were
cheers when the writ arrived and ?
more cheers whenever Thaw appeared
at the window of the detention
room. There was more cheering I
when the news got abroad that for agg
Thaw the new move meant 10 days
delay. Not only by the writ secured 1
kr Montreal, but by the action of his ?
attorneys on appeal did Thaw block
bis deportation. In addition, he had !
the pleasurable knowledge that his |
old enemy, William Travers Jerome, j
bad been arrested, charged with !
gambling.
Slump in Cotton Market.
New York. ? The announcement I
#Viof fhn Sonafp pannis hfld ?2Tf?Pd
to tax cotton futures one-tenth of one !
cent a pound was the signal for an a
outburst of selling orders in the cot- i ^
ton market, such as rarely has been |
witnessed since the Sully days. It g
drove prices off $2 a bale and de- r
moralized the upward movement. p
When the news reached outside points ; 1$
there was a fresh wave of selling H
orders which came into the local ?
market just at the close when the p
most violent decline occurred. *
Hot Springs Swept By Flames. B
Hot Springs, Ark.?More than 30 |
square blocks on the eastern edge
of the business district of Hot &
Springs has been swept clear by a ?
fire which threatened to eat its way p
to Central avenue, the main business h
thoroughfare. A high wind was itblowing
and tbe Plot Springs, and ||
Little Rock fire departments bad B
made but little headway in checking g
the flames, at last report. Sidney I B
Dillon, Commissioner of Public Utili- j
ties, estimated that at least $4>000.- 9
000 of property had been destroyed. i "
