TERRIFIC STORM ON SAVANNAH AND THE SUI Twelve Lives Lost and a Destroyed by t Savainnti, Ga., iand vicinity was visitold by a regular West India cyclone onl Tuesday, Sept. 29th. which has bardly been equalled for intensi ty and destruction within the imoirnor of those now livint. The wind ren1( -ehd its highest shortly after 12 o'coek. but its exact velocity may never be known. The initrumnvt at the wather bureau regis~k rcd 06 mile.; an hour and then wenrt to piec-is.

The blow was practically over within two and one-half hours. but for that time it raged with an intensity heretofore unknown. Tin roofs were the spe)citil ptythings of the wind, and they were rolled up everywhere as if of tissue paper and with the nicety observed by the tinner in economizing space. There irust have been one hundred toils of tinl rolled olf of roofs in Savannrah. Bricks and wires fell everywhere, and h un dreds of roofs were totally demnol ished. It is impossible even to entune:ate tire buildings unroofed or partly destroyed. Shattered trees covered ever-y sir-t, and these with hundreds (f fallen wires tade the streets imprshie for several hours. The total diiage is estiniated f romri 30,000 to) $1.0.00 in i iLSavannah an in Chathain counrty.

A lonhg Hay str'eet a great many of thu brick chimneys of the most ex posed(a houses and stor'es were snalpped ouff and had fallen into the streets be low and upon the roofs. The mnasonr'y at the sides of the pi uw.z-s of T. W. Scheper's:grocer'y storeC anid that of G. A. Long's r'esidence, over the express oilice was blown down with its brick and mortar.

Tonm Ell iott now owned by Commodore LBeardsley, Is a sad spectacle to behold, with its piaL/zzas all torn to Ileces and its col umans prostratted, leaving the mnassivo looking brick and tabby structurie sadly dilapidated. It had hoen ccui piled by C.ol. Averll and his family, but theylhad moved out of it before the crash camtle. Mr. M iddleton llott's house, form erly the Limund Rhett house, was un roofed, its piazA/ s wrenched off and the houso made, uninhabitable until thoroughly repaired. Mr. George f Bass's house, a little hIgher up the bayp 1 wasn unroofod and its roof carried bodily a block away. The court houso was terribly dam-. t aged, glasses smashed, rain pouring V in, plasterIng falling~ down and the Ale ado mutnableO until repair are made. Clerk of the Court Bamp flold, while endeavoring to got his books and records to a less exposed plILce than the front room afforded, met with a serious accident, his hand being crushed betwecn the door and f-amile as it was violently blown against him. On the Point the most badly dam aged house is that known as the Col. P,aul H1.amnilton home, now the estate of the late R. B. FulIIer, and one of the ilandmarks of the Point. Mr. James Barniwelli's home was also unroofed and part of the pitazza torn away. The residence of M is. A. E,. Danner and of her family was also unroofed. The residence of Mr. N1.

Two colored women from the Oak land plaIntttiCn on this island were killtil by the falling in of their house. No news has been received from the islands. From Port Royal the dlam nges to the railroad property are said not be very considerable. Soei dam ages are reported from the "Sea Is land Chemical Works " (Coosaw), and to " Baldwins," but particulars are not, yet in. Old St. Helena Episcopal Church is sadly wrecked, and its venerable pile has sustainedi a most fearful blow. The whole eastern gable-end and the back, in wh icb was the chancel and altar, was completely blown out and exposes the whole interior of the church to dainage and destruction. The grnnd old trees are broken down and have simaishLed up sonC of the tombstones Mnd shalts, and the old church yard is filled with forests of fallen branches. It is, indeed, Ia, pitiful sight.

Porty-eight hours ago it was a thriving town of 1,500 inhabitants. Today many of the people are corpsef, scores of others are injured and there are but few houses left tnding. Twenty hodies have been recovered and It is known that many others are dead. Of those recovered but few have been ideritilied, so imiutilated were they by fulling timlbers. Many of tho coi uses wei*e dhug 0ou1t of tho ,1nu1d i, whiceh thcy were buried by the mighty w-vave thait swept ovelr the town T'esday Imorning.

U p to 11 o'clock the night waLs calmi andi quLiet. At that hour aL moderate breeze' sprang up from the eastward, increasing gradually until ia thirty-mIle wind was blowing. About .1 o'clock a. in. it blew a perfect tornado, and sudkienly eb ange-d to the sou theast, bringing in a perfect deluge of water, the tide risinar two feet higher thani in the memtoratble gale of l1891, which was at the stid time said to be the severest storml on r-eord. At 7 o'clock an immenise tidal wave camne In from the south, carrying de struetion with it. Bloats, whaiirveS and smiallI houses were hi led1 upon0 the shiore, and breakintg into fragments, covered the streets with wreckage aand while the torrents of water rushing th rough every openf space woud iitake the strongest man ohf of h Is feet. It was this tidal' wave that caused the pr11inciplL loss of li f-, many houses being swept from their foundations and the inmates drowned. Of the twenty hod ies recovered. twelvo aro white and eight colored. Of the whites, six belonged to the Whitson family-a mother, fou r ch l~d ren and( IL younig lady visitor. The other four- white victims are men, and have not vet beenl identi Ii ed. Of the eight negroes only one, Peter Woodlson, has been idlentitlied. Thie di liceulIty in recovering the dead arises from the fact that the town was built, on several small keys, the brid ges connecting the keys were swep)t awaVIy and the only commnunication is b~y means oIf boats, of which there are bit fewv left. Th'len, too), most of the victims were buried( deep in the mud by theO tidal wave and man~fy of the bodies will p)robably never be recover cd.

Beyond the bar thle topIs of scores of masts are visible just above the watler-, and eiach t(1lp ind(1icates the burial plaeo0 of aL sponging schooner andl its crew. As these vessels carried froma four to ten men, the loss of life is hardly less than 700). It Is possible that many of the vos seswet-e blown Into the gulf andI r'odo out the hurricane, but the Mary IElizta's captain thlinks by far the greater num ber. are beneath the water with their crews. Ho says that there was no)t one chane in a thousand for such frail crafts to live In such a hurrIcane. Two gentlemen who went down the coast a few miles this morning returned to Cedar Keys this aftor noon and reported ilmiing the corpses of eight mon wash ed ashore. These men wer~e the crow of a.aponging vessel, and the crews of most of the other vessels have un doubtedly mot a similar fate. ~It is Oxpectedthat for'dlays to come corpses of the spongers will bd found along the Coast, 11 VIEWS ON T1. D1ISPINSARY. Current Comaierit Upoli tle Control ofr til Liquor Trafile. lb mpton Guardian. Tie advocates of the dipensary sys tem as the best modo of regulating the liquor trallic so as to nimitize its evils are most desirous that it shall be kept free of everything which might have even the appearance of wrong doing or even irregularity. There must not be even a taint (rit a suspicion of improper conduct inl ainy who havo it in charge or who have any dealings with it. There are many, among the oppo nents of the system, who claim that it must end in failure beeauso it is inusep arable from im lproper or dishonest practices on the part of some of those who have in hand its different work ings. Tihe Guardian does not share this opinion. We believe that the sys tem can be so run, so conducted on bus iness principles, that there will be no more danger of irregularity or miscon duct than thero is in any othor State institution or in a well regulated bank. It would be unreasonable to expect that in a business of such variety and such magnitutee, there should ( never occur a mistake, or, indeed, that, there should never be a single act of impro priety by any one of the lIrge mnbitnIer of persons emuployed in dife re"n t capa cities. Nobody but a simpleton, or one totally blinded by preju(lice( could x. pect such a state of perfoct.ion. But the people have the ri: ht to expet. and they do expect--that every possi ble safeguard should hi employed to put the 'ystem, for ail time, oil ia strict ly businesslike basis, and to reduce irregularities to a milninum. At every stage of inquiry there must be the determination to ascertain the truth, and to protect the good name of the State. Cotlumbia Eveninlg News.

Buchanan, Lexington : Dear Sir: Unfortunatoly for me, my name has been conncted with the dis piensary matter now under investiga tion, and whilo I have done no wrong, an1d Consequenitly am guilty of no crime, L wish to relieve you entirely of any and all possiblo embarrassmont that might arise by lny continuing to held my positioni as stenographer under you as a circuit judge, and I have, therofore, decided to resign my posi. tion, and enclose my resignation hero with. I aml luoved to take this course by reason of the fact that there are many careless critics in the world who a-o ever reiady to cast the eye of suspicion and Lu I'lo4o the tongues of gossip anl slander against one w hose name, however inno:'ently and unfortunately, has been coIliected with that which b0ecomes a malitter of public criticism. l-'or labor' performed asia typewriter. at the 'Lqu est, of one, for his own beined t, I was tmade tile recipient of a small d iamnond shn irt stud of but little value. Being conscious of no wrong action or iltenltion on iIy part, and not suspect ing any on the part Of tile giver, I re tained the stud : and yet there are perons low and baso enough, not to say cruel and unjust, to charge ine with wrong, who would have done as I did under tie saime or similar circum stances. I was asked to be the bearer of soue money to my brother. The money wits paid him ats commissions Oill wiskey SOld to the State (IisIon sary, which wits unler tie lmaage ment of my father. I had1(1 no interest in the money, and liad nothing to do with it except t:) transport it. I brought it and gave it to my brother after .warning him against reuiving commission ioney. ns it mlight ill some way implicate 0111 father. 1ie promnib ed to discontinue his relations with the wiiskey (lealers and receive no m1oreCi Iomis,s'ions. If solle one besides my faitlier had been in charge of the d1ispensary not a word of criticism could have been justly made against my brother. hether it is a business all people approve of or wouId engage InI or not, 3et it is a lawfuli business ani many respectabule people o engage ill it, a1n the receiving of CoIImlissiOns is Coiioln in this ad(( oler bu1sinesses. Mly brother has violated no law and iats loi0e only what othetrS have done, who have received no criticism because tliy are not the sons of my father. I. did (1nothing but consent to be the niedtillnin of triaIsportation. "My father knew abl.hitely nothing of the whole alfitr, and fO' fea of brin'gllg'" criti etin upoln his good name I witnod mny b'othur. Mly brl'otherl has Committed n( crieic. I am gui tess. My fither's only Ciiin iS -;f it be a Crime-that ie is the father of li3 two sons. These are the facts, and yet there are persons vile A1ough and so 1(ost to all sense of justice an1ld right as to condemn us, all thirce, and say. we are all three equally guliIty of great Wr'ongs. As a mlatter of prudenc my brother should not hav'e acepetted tihe commissions, but as aL ma~tter of right under the law he did have a right to take them-the same tight Lilhat aniy other' citizenl has, wheither hi e live ini South Carol ina or not. TIhe State, lost nothinlg bly theC transaction, fori it was nlot tile State's moniiey, butt the money1C3 of the d istillers: and if nuy br'oher had~ niot gotten it thie mloney~3 would no0w be in tbe plockets oIf the distillers. T[he foregoing is whlat brought my nametlc before tile plic inl tile d ispen* sary' inmvestigat ion, and11 .VI wile 1 am atb solu tely innoc~lent of any3' wrong~idoing or wvrong intenation, yet I feel that the simtplc faict thait miy namefl is before tile pubtlic in tis way might emb~arriass you: and not dlesir'ing to place you in Lth is attitude ill tile sIlightest (legr'ee, I have thought best und~eri thle cicme asta~nes to tender to you my resignation ias stenogr'apher'. I. shall always appraeciaLte your' kind ness to tie, andi theO pleasant anid miost cordial relations whichl have atlways existed betweenl us shall fotreveir be my1 fotndest, rCc'ol lectiors.

" We're willin' ter pay cash for it," said tho husband, not understand big the nature of the consultation, " 've got the money In this ho stook in'." The justico looked grave. Then, ad justing his spectaclos, and addressing the nan, said : " You knowed 'fore you como here that 'twarn't for me ter separate hius band an' wife, an' yit you not only take up the timo er this here valbtittle court with yor talkin', but ackehully perposo ter bribe me. Now, how much has you got in that stockin'?" "'Bout six dollars an' a half, yer honor." " All right, thon.
