Tcia section 3f the At lantic coast baa been prolific in storms ? storms UaStntMered death and de struction of property in their wafee; fort the weather-rise, the oldest ciii-^ zeu, the pilots cannot recall anything equaling it Wind, rain ana hail and the elements seemed combined in their greatest fury. The seas ran high and salt water waves were d ri ven by tfre beavy winds as moch as twenty miles inland. Houses were blown* away; trees were torn from ther earth, leaving, holes big enoogh to. hide affreight train. Vessels were dashed against the breakers and thrown upon the earth as moch as five miles from the water's edge. - It was a grand tableau, and those who passed through it will never forget the experience of Sunday night. The storm began really Sunday morning. The day came with heavy dark clouds hanging ever the ports. An ugly wind ' started up about 10 o'clock Sunday morning, blowing from the northeast It increased as the day grew 09, and about noon a cold, chilly rain started. Long/Before dark the* people riving along the coast knew ihai a storm was inevitable, but none dreamed of the great extent it ; as sumed. Late in the evening the wiad took on a great velocity., and as the alghlj advanced the velocity of the wind in creased until it attained a speed of ISO miles an hoar at 3 o'clocSp and this is about the tine the City of Savannah went ashore, jt is believed by those who have convert witfe; parties who were aboard the veaa^n; But it wa&not until the next moot ing that the people knew of the mai and terrible danger, through Which they had passed. The wind aloie was a storm which would have terrorized any community, bat with the blinding rain and vivid of lightning and deafeniBg peals of thunder, the hearts of th$ stoutest were made 'to qjaail No painting could give the faintest idea of the night Then is it 'any or?HK?e who lost their Jives thai; walked to and Jft>,^ch minute expect ing death, and all the time praying ro% deliverance^ In many instances peo ple left their homes and lashed them selves to trees to prevent being blown away.

Ab far as the eye' eootd reach , could be seen the enormous seas which seem ed"to lash each other pi their madness, while the wind howled and, jrith what seemed to usja terrible voice, urged on the {pant mountains of water to do their worst Fromj7 to 12 it was a scene fearful to behold, such a one as to make strong toen fear, and the; ship, which had long since been headed for deeb wHter, seemed to be but a mite in Lhe\ inds of the elements, to bej dashed abo rt at their mercy. But a strong and st sady hand, pool and determined, wis at the helm; the captain was: the le to guide and protect the ship aw ' the living that were in Jiis keeping, j THE STORM ABATES* ? f 1 At *2 o'clock p. m. the storm began to abate, and in -the aileruoonlate, lost before dark, the ship wag 3jgain headed towards 1'her course. At day light 011 Tuesday parts of vessels, such as chairs, portions ?f Seeks, pieces of lumber and jiarapheeaalis of mry description pertaining to vessel and cargo, were to be seen in every direc tion.

The Birmingham was anchored, and on Wednesday morning, boats V charge of Fiirst Officer Johnson ancr Second Officer Hamilton reached the ship, and the rescue of those on board; was "atfected with safety. It was a brave act to reach the ship with the breakerfTarouiid and about ber, but.

The Birmingham , was iberi headed for Savannah. Everything; possible was done for the rescued ones by the passengers and crew- of the Birmingham. The pas sengers of the wrecked steamer who were seen at the ship, spoke in the highest terms 'of Capt Savage of the Savannah, also of Otpt Berg of the, Birmingham. To the bravery of the two brave men tjbey said they owed their lives. J '.j Tbo wrecked passengers of tlie Savannah lost everything, some being without hats and coats.

The following particulars as to the effects of the storm at Tybee .^island have been^obtaiued : The Tybee railroad is jbfuUy wrecked iior nearly its whole iength; it will cr>st probably 850,000 to repair it. The bridge over Lazer -etfco Crqpk is 'wrecked. The railroad track from L&zeretto Creek bridge to MrsNtylorfs first house, is complete ly wrecked j The water came up^with such force, thjat it picked the track up and carri& it ait tar a* fifty feet from the r&ad-bed^ ' The fotce of the water in many places turned the track up side down and twisted it into all man ner ol shapes, ki some places the ties on top of the rails. In fact, about as much of the track is in this /reversed position as otherwise. / Oim,or two foundations tell where the Edftill House was. Of Peter Smith's house not a .board remains. O. R. Bobbins house is badly battered op. The Ramble. Club House, it is supposed, now- rests on one side of W$/ningtoii Island; at any rate, it is not on Tybee. The house occupied by ,a man j named Carroll is on its beam ends, > The Point House depot iB no more. The house of W. R. Wil son is moved up toward the railroad abont fifty I feet. v The house of Mr Henry Green was destroyed by fire. Th$ home of Mr .Rocker is mov?J back about thirty, feet from whereat was&efore.the storm. The house c>f Mr Frank Storer was treated rather queerty by the winds. Tb? first floor was blown completely away. The second floor, though, sailed aero* several Tybee lots, and is now sitting there. 4 The pictures on the mantel, were not even disturbed by the flight oif the building. The house of Sheriff Rouan was moved from one lot to another. Near the north end of the island is a gully five feet deep washed in the sand. .Tffee box car at th& east end of the Y Switch of the railr<Vd, where Scott Bacon, his^ife an<> t'fro sons lived, all of whom were kiltel, was blown from its trucks and has not been found. ' i! There is not even a foundation to show wfiere the Tybee house of Mr John C. Butler stood. Ouly the ser vants' quarters of the Knights of Pythias club house remains. From the Knights of Pythias club house to the Pavilliop,' there is no railroad at all. The cottage of Mr Edward Lov ell was destroyed.

Some of tbe cottages of the Cottage Club are badly damaged. The Casino is still standing. The big sand drives aloog the beach were swept away. The only bath houses now on the is land are those of the Atlantic Club. It is now estimated that the. losses of the rice planters will be much great^ er than was at first supposed. Nearly" the whole crop #is destroyed. The loss is estimated at $400,000. The Norwegian brig Medea came into Ty bee roads today, having on board eighteen of the crew of the British ship[Nettie Murphy, from Pen sacola for Dundee, wrecked in tbe gulf. No lives lost The Medea was from Belize and is on he^ray to Hull. Heavy Loss In Naval Stores. .* Savannah, August 30. ? The loss of naval stores by the storm is heavy. (Thousands oi barrels of spirits of rosin floated from the wharves and sheds and were carried back on the lowlands. | The hoops of the barrels ai^burstiug and the spirits runuing to waste. The Sjailroads will not allow the exports to pick out their stocks, whieh are mixed indiscriminately. A conference was held yesterday by naval store men at the board of trade aud railroad offi cials, with a view ot getting the situa tion straightened out Nothing was accomplished, and another conference will be held. No estimate of the dam age to the stock or. hand is yet obtain able. y 4 Business in the naval stores markets is entirely' suspended on account of the storm. THE SEN AT ENROLLED. The Outlook Favor* Unconditonal Repeal. The Washington correspondent of Che Atlanta Constitution has made a careful poll of the Senate as to how the members of that hotly stand on the question of unconditional - repeal* He says: I was aided in the work by one of thestrongest iree coinage men in the Senate. As near as it is possi ble to figure it now, there are forty t^ree Senators for unconditional repeal, forty for free coinage, and two doubt ful, though both are inclined toward unconditional repeal. . As I figured it, the Senators who will vote for unconditional rej>eal and < against all substitutes are Aldrich, Allison, Brice, Caffrey, Camden, Cam eron, Carey, Chandler, Cullom, Davis, Dixon, Dolph, Frye, Galliu ger, Gibson, Gorman^ Gray, Hale, Hawley, Hill, Hoar, Lindsey, Lodge, McMillen, McPherson, Mitchell of Wisconsin. Morrill, Murphey, Palmer, Piatt, Proctor, Quay, Sherman, Smith, Squire, Stockbridge. Turpie, Vilas, Voorhees, Washburn, White of Lou isi-* ana, Wilson. ? 43. . v The Senators who will vote for a free coinage substitute and against the repeal until something favorable to silver is granted are: Allen, Bate, Uerry, Blackburn, Butler, Call, Cock rell, Coke, Colquitt, Dauiel, Dubois, Faulkner, George, Gordon, Hans borough, Harris, Hunton, Irby, Jones of Arkansas, Jones of Nevada, Kyle, Martin, Mitchell of Oregan, Morgan, Pasco, Peffer, Perkins, Pettigrew, Power, Pugh, Ran som, Roach, Shoup, Stewart, Teller, Vance, Ve^, Walthall. White of Cali fornia, Wolcott ? 40. ^ Doubtful^Alanderson and Mills - Of the men on the unconditional re pealdist three niay be termed doubtful. They are Camdqu, Cameron and Tur pie. In the second list are several, in cluding Senator Gordon, who will vote for a free coinage substitute, but if that is voted down will then vote for repeal. ^ The two doubtful Senators men tioned above have been free coinage men heretofore, but the anti-silver men? those for repeal without substi-' iute ? claim both as certain to go witi^ them. Of course, the enthusa|tic silver Senators yet claim they will win, that they will get some silver legislation even though it be no more than the old Bland-Allison law. But the con servative sileer men Ixilieve that they ar^t already defeated. One. of this latter class, a man who is so strongly for free coinage that he will fight to the last ditch, told me today that though he did not intend to give up until thoroughly routed, that the power of the administration had l?een thjown upon the Senate and that he had no hope now of defeating an un nditional repeal, but he believed e fight would lait a loug-4ime. He had no idea that any bilT would go to the President * within "-less than six weeks, and |>erliaps it would be a much longer time than that. Charleston, August 2.r>.? Mr. Charles W. Seignious cl icxl at his resi dence, corner of East Bay ami Minori ty streets shortly aller 1 o'clock today. He comi)laine<l of ieeling unwell last night, when a doctor was called in and prescribed. He retired, and was out to business today, and not a long while before his death gave directions for some work he wished done. He went home about 1 o'clock, and again felt badly and soon expired, Mr. Seignious was l>oru in Charles ton, some eighty-two years ago, and lived an iudustrious life. He com menced his industrial career as an ap prentice to the coach trimming busi ness*, and worked at it for some years, and afterwards went into the coal bus iness, which he conducted up to the wsr on East Iky. near Hasel street. Since' the war he has l>een accumula ting property, and he is now supposed to be worth one half a million dollars. Since the ^r%r he had given his atten tion to his real estate interests and some what to the .Royal bag factory on Hayne street, and also to reru<xlel mg and improving the St. Charles Hotel, which he bought several years ago. Death was by apoplexy. Mr. Seignious wrs a widower, leav ing six children, four cjf.whom are daughters, among whom are Mrs. *T. A. Honour of Greenville, Mrs. i)r. Barton of Orangeburg, and Mrs O. A.

He was out in the i mountains during the great storm, \and, like his friends the moqnshiners, took to cover. He^ reports . the irale as fearful in its mar and itge. Mas sive trees were torn up by the roots, bthers were twisted and, bent and wrapped arouud each other, while the jl earth was covered with limbs, small branches and leaves/ When light enough to sec, it was startling to look about the mountain side. He reports the ground fairly covered with chest nut burs and acorns. In Pickens he captured parts of two stills aud their apjicndagrs, and .one complete outfit in Oconee.. He also gut about 2,000 gallons of peach pumica The raid was not a big success, but it suggested that the authorities of the United States were more alert than the dispensary raiders. ? , I .; Fou ml Dead in Ills* Bed. . j '?
