Six deaths are known to have been j

The hurricane was at its height at !
midnight Sunday night, when the j
wind attained a velocity of 94 miles j
the hour and the barometer dropped !
to 29.43. The wind continued to j
blow fiercely until about daylight j
and then gradually subsided until!
the storm passed on somewhere to ;
the south of Charleston and island
? the weather bureau does not
know just where.
In Charleston the greatest damage.
of course, was done along the
water front, but practically every
house south of Calhoun street testified
to the fury of the gale. Along
Broad street, Blast Ba\, King and
Meeting streets scores of residences
and places of business were unroofed
and had the windows blown out.
The rain, which fell heavily last
night was in consequence most unwelcome,
even though accompanied
by but little wind. Hundreds of trees
in all parts of the city were blown
down or split to pieces.
The street- everywhere yesterday
were filled with, wreckage of all
? *
sorts. Little business was transuded.
The work of repairing the damage'
has already progressed well,
however, and the street railwav will
t *
be in operation today and the
streets, it is premised, will be open
to traffic.
Communication with the outside
world has been re-established, trains
'operating from the old Line street
station, of the Southern Railway,
the Union station living put out oj
commi s on temporarily.
No telegraph wires are yet beinp
worked into Charleston, but thi
Western Union sent operators t?

messages there, bringing
them to Charleston by train.
