?Work of the Wind.
New York, Special.? .The great storm
which came speeding up from the
Eoutii on Saturday night, has spent its
force In this zone of tho Atlantic coast
mid the waters driven up on lowland
miff' beach are subsiding. A more (.\ro
rul survey of the atorm-swept coast In
dicates that aggregate damage will ex
ceed tho general estimates ofMonday.
Hundreds of small craft we(e Wrecked
or badly damaged, wharves aruNplois
at every exposed point wero battered
down,, many seaside resorts wero un
roofed, rlty cellars were tilled and hun
dreds of town houses were damaged.
Estimates of tho aggregato damage
runs slightly below and considerably
above $1,000,000. Down at Monmouth
? Beach, whore tho big German sl-ip
Flootsdek drove ashore, and where
there was a thrilling rcscuo of her
crew by llfe-savois,, an angry sea was
bttll b.f^aMng up oh the beach. Wreck

Kea^ .$?2 nothing can bo done to
ward saving the ship and her cargo.
Tli o big craft firmly embedded in tho
Band w*?s still Intact and Captain
^Eingler, her master, who watched her

that both vessels and cargo would bj

Heporta of tho damage dono by the
storm of Saturday' night and Sunday
continue to come in. Dotaiis from
points on tho Jersey coaet, the south
ern co^st-m Long Island and the upper
snore of . Long Island sound, show that
the distraction was widespread and
the monetary los.s much heavier than
at first supposed.' Long Branch reports j
to-night show that ? hardly n building
there escaped some damage.. As evi-J
dence of the force of the wind, a plank
about 20 feet long, 7 Inches wideband

Washington, Special.?- Tho trial of
Mrs. Lola Ida Honine, on tho charge
of killing James Seymour Ayree, Jr.,

on behalf of tho govormnout was mauo
by AsNistaut LMsUicl Attorney 'Hugh

eluded a number of witnesses were
board. Mr. Taggart's statement con
sumed only about one hour ami fifteen
minutes and consisted for tbe most
part of the review of the clrcum*
ptances connected with tho tragedy.
Mr. Taggart stated tbe theory *ntt\e

dered by Mrs. Honine ami thaKsl.e
gained admission to bis room in] (bo
Kenmore Hotel, through tho window,
reaching that by means of tbe Are o?
cape. He attempted to show thud she
was piqued by bis non-attentloiV. to
her. Mrs. Bonlne apparently was W:
moved by bis presentations, Oneo or
twice during the address Bho loaned
over and spoke to her attorneys. The
witnesses of the day did m?t throw
t)ny new light upon tho killing, in his
Address Mr. Taggart. contended that
there was a tlo between tho prisoner
and the dead man in the fact tlmt
Ayres was a student ot dentistry and
she had studied medicine. As a conse
quence she became a frequent visitor
to his room nt the hotel, where they
botlOlvod, not only In tho day time,
but at night as well, "and," he added,
"therefore tho door was not always
open when Bho was there." Ho told of
tho quarrels between thorn, saying
that Ayres ceased to speult to her and
that she complained of his ingrati
tude. f
"Wo expect to show." he said,
"that while phe made ndvances to him
Ayres did ndt avail hlmself'of the op
portunity thus afforded, beyond danc
ing with her again." Ho had danced
with her on tho night the
tragedy, but bad shown that' ho was

"i no iV U IV 11 V. Ul \JK iUV IVM U?v,?
familiar Intercourse. As an Instanco
of his attitude toward Mrs. "Bonlne,
Mr. Tnggart sold that Ayres had re
fused to. accept a carnution from her
on the Monday beforo tho killing. It
was. therefore, evident, said tho
speaker, that while he was Indifferent,
there \vns a disposition on her part to
mollify ' hlnS. "We will show," con
tinued Mr. TuKKart, "that every act.
step, proceeding on the part of the
prisoner was the a^t of a guilty per
son."
"Mr. Taggart referred 'to Mrs.
Bonine's confession an being princi
pally intended to oxonerato herself.
Ho thought the facts imlicatqd the
shooting did not take place, K? Mrs.
Ilonlno said; that Ayros had not gone
to her room at all. as Bhe clalt*ed.
Outlining the government's posR-lon,
Mr. Taggart; said It would bo contend
ed that Ayres had retired when tho
person who killed him entered tho
room and that she cam? In through
the window, that ho aroso aq^started
toward her; that she shot him the first
wound being tho fatal ono In the*
breast. Naturally his mouth had filled
with blood and as naturally he had
'put his hands to his mouth. Then he
grasped the pistol, thus accounting
for tho blood upon- It. Mr. Taggart
spoke for an hour and fifteen minuies.
and Mr. Douglass for the defense said
he would reserve his ^tfffeiU^tion of
the ease. \ / ? % ~ir?\

Identified tho drawing and gave .letnlls
concerning tfie location and dimensions
of tho room. The first witness in the
afternoon was Harry A. Wise, a pho
tographer, who had made photographs
of Ayres' room on the day after the1
tragedy occurred. -Tho irfctnrre taken
by him were presented and identified
by thrfSvitnesa. Mr. Douglass objected
to thoir acceptance as evidence^ on the
grou n id _th a t_ they did not represent tho
exact condition of the room when
gyros' body was discovered. Ho
thought their presentation should bo
delayed until testimony should be tak
en showing tho conditions wero the
same when the body was found- a;id
when the picture was made. Tho pho
tographs were accepted by the court for
ths pur'peso only of showing the i?cr

Columbia, Special. ? In reply to an
inquiry aa to the progress of the an
nuai report of the superintendent of
education, Mr. McOhoo of the Stato
superintendent's offlco has given out
the following Interesting facts ohow
Iiir difficulties encountered:- ,-j
"VVe are still having aeeinlngly ^<jr
loss troublo lu getting accurate repu/?
from some of tho count# superliyfln
dents of education. Several of /ieso
reports have been sent back fytir or
flvo times for correction., Tjno uost
flagrant errors appear in tnem; as,
for Instance, the failure of columns to
balancu; Riving total expenditures ouo
amount on ono sheet and another
amount on another sheet, One county
superintendent had an error of some
thing over $"?(>. 000 In addition ? these In
9plte of the fact that the report of thc?,
county superintendent has been very^
connty superintendents received om an
average yf four copies of those diFec- j
tlov/s at Jour different times. In addl
jUvU ty /ht-se, louera lnnumernlilo and
lengthy haw been written explaining
points which It la hardly possible not
to know without explanation. For In
stance, It has been necessary to ex
plain In sotno eases' that the total ex
penditures for teachers' salaries pitta
the total expenditures for all other
purposes make the total expenditures
for everything; and that ull the rc
colpts for the county less all the ex
penditures for the county ,wMl leave the.
bianco on hand.
"As an example also of the earleris*
.ncsH with which aomo of these reports
are made out, fully one-half of the re
ports hail to bo sent back for the ad
dresses of the chairman of the boards
of trustees, although this was speclfl
cally asked for, and only a matter oi a
few' minutes In some cases to give.
"To Illustrate further and more spe
cifically; In one county there are nine
districts. The county superintendent
reported the receipts' from various
sources for each one of thesp districts.
When it came to tho State superinten
dent's office the nine additions or three
Items each were made, and it was
found that tho county superintendent
had live of these nine additions Incor
rect. in this same report there wen
II errors in making qut averages.
"Several reports wore sent in with
out the additions boing made at all.
Of course these Swero ^immediately
sent back. When they returned the
additions were incorrect. After ueiug
sent back several times some of theao
are finally In ^Lape to be given to the
