Savannah has not seen as heavy a storm

•* that which swept over thecity Mondaysight and yesterday morning. Although

sot to be compared with the one of louryears ago for the loss it caused, it was

severe enough to ho long remem-bered. Old citizens in their talk went

back in their experiences andcompared notes, sut recall few stormsexcept those of In>4 and ISM to equal it.The severest part of thestorm, when themost damage was done, was between 2and 6 o'clock.

Alter the blow In the early part ofMonday night had subsided, it wasthought that the heaviest of taestorm, which had been central earlyIn the evening off Florida, had goneup the coast to the seaward, and that alldanger was past. But at 2 o’clock thewind, which had slacked off, freshenedup, and increased in velocity until to’clock, when it reached its height at a*!miles an hour from the northwest. Therain poured down in torrents. The -treetswere floodedand the sewers wore filled.

WAKED 11Y THK WINDS.Half the city, now wide awake, was up,

and windows and doors were se-cured against the wind and thedescending flood. Few people sleptalter 3 o’clock and those whowent through the storm ol 18X1 were fear-ful of a repetition of their experiencethen. The wind kept onIncreasing and buildings wereshaken to their foundations. TheUity Exchange bell and the bell in theIndependent Presbyterian church wereswayed and rung in the height of thegale. The police on duty dodged intohallways and uqder porches to escapethe limbs and branches of trees, whichwere blown across sidewalks and into the•treets from curb to curb. Stout trees inmany of the squares and in the Park were■uprooted and their trunks twisted offnear the ground. To the few people whowere abroad at that hour it was a dismalsoene.

BWIIF OF THE STORM.The ravages of the wind were more vio-

lent on the outskirts o. the city than inthe central porlioii Shrubbery andplants in gardens were broken down, andlew trees escaped without having theirbranches twisted and snapped. In theextreme limits fences wereblown down. and • sheds andout buildings were unroofed and thesiding ripped off. In the centre of theci y little or no damage was done to build-ings except in one or two instances. Ahuge tree standing on Bull street in frontof tbe Pavilion hotel was uprooted, andfell with a crash across the hotel gardenand walk, smashiug tbe roof of the porchabove the main entrance, tearing off theblinds and crushing in the windowsand doors. The guests were awakenedby the crash and rushed into the halls,thinking the building was tailing. For atime there was intense excitement. Therain poured into the exposed roomsthrough the largi holes crushed In the■ide ot the building and the floors wereflooded. The fences in front of the hotel■were broken down and the yard was tilledwith wreckage. All over tbe city thesldewa ks wore strewn with broken limbsand branches of tree*.

ALONG THK WHARVES.Along the wharves the damage was

Rot so great as it was feared it would be.The sloop Marlon Griffin, Capt. Alex.Brown, arrival at the market dock at 6o’clock Monday nignt. About 3 o’clockyesterday morning tbe pilot boat Petwhile adrift, ran into her, staving in herstern and leaving her in a sinking condi-tion. The Captain of the Griffin estimateshis lots at $l5O.

Tha schooner Masher, fromMay river. also lying attbe market dock, had her jib gjiyscarried away, and sprung her foremast.Bhe also had the upper part ot her sternStove in and her figure-head carried away.

At the exchange dock quite a fleet ofsmall sloops was moored, several ofwhich sustained severe damages. Twowere sunk at the dock. Another had herstem stove in by two heavy lighterswhich came down on them, having pre-viously broken admit from the Oceansteamship wharf. One of the sloops wasraised yesterday, and the other will lieraised to-day.

A KAFT IIKOKXN UP.A portion of The cat go of the schooner

Maid o’ the Mist, at theSavannah, Floridaand Western railway wharf, consisting ofturpeutine and rosin, was carriedoverboard, but was afterwards recover-ed. A boom of timber, consisting ofseveral rafts, and being the lull cargoof the German bark .lulle waa brokenfrom it moorings and went driltlng inall directions. Fortunately every stickof it was recovered. There was no dam-age done to any of the larger vessels. Onthe Savannah,'Florida and Western Rail-way Company’s wharfsome little damagewaa done to the spirits turpentine bar-rels, causing them to leak, but the lostwaa very slight.

IN TUX NEIGHBORHOOD.At Montgomery, White Hluff and Isle

Of Hope the storm was as severe as In thecity. At all of those resorts trees andfences were blown down, but no seriousdamage was done to residences or otherbuildings.

Theearly inbound train yesterday morn-ing on the City and Suburbanrailway wasdelayed alsmt hull an hour by a fallentree that had blown across the track nearBetbesda station.

At Thunderbolt the blow was very se-vere, and trees along the bluff and atBouaventure were uprooted and blownacross the roads, obstructing travel untilthey could be removed.

On Grove street in the southeasternportion of the city a large sycamore wasblown across the house occupied by anold man nuuicd Minion Bollinger, demol-ishing the brick chimney and a portionof the roof. Bellinger eacap andluxury by crawling out of a window.W ben the top of the tree was cut off’ laterla the day, the triflik flew back rapidlv toits original perpendicular, the earthabout the roots presenting the appear-and* of not having been disturbed in theIt ssu

GnLovers’ lane nearly all the fences ofthe truck farmers were more or lessbroken by the wind. V ery little damagewas,however,done to the vegetable crops,either at tbis point or elsewhere iu thecounty.

THE WIRES DOWN.Yhe telegraph and telephone wires were

bally disarranged. ’ rwlephonic commu-nication was Interrupted in the city alterlaUlfilght. Linemen were busy yesterdayand most of the disarranged circuits wereIn e[ieitlou tsylore nlgbl. Tbits was noodnuuunication with Tyneo after It)o'clock, and until newa waa re-ceived by etesiuer a g'sid dealoi anxiety was felt by tboae whosefaintoea and Irienda were on theialttnd. The Western Union Telegraph< ouii any bad but one wire of the thirtyrunning out of the Savannah office inWorking order, and business was serl-

‘ousts delayed for a time Tbe iroaleatdamag* was on the • coital and t.hsrie*.Jd and ravaunsi* railroads. Locomotiveswita gangs of lio nu were sent out

oyet the Charleston road to repair thelines as much as possible, so that com-munication could be secured in thatdiiectiou.

LINEMEN AT WORK-

The wires are intact as far as llar-deeville, but beyond there they werefound to be badly dumaged. Severalmiles of poles were blown down on asingle stretch. On the Central railroadthe damage is equally great. The onlywires working last night were one toMacon and another to Augusta. Therewas no communication with Charleston,except at Summerville, 22 miles distant,where an office was temporarily estab-lished for the transmission of press reports.Manager Dillon had gang of men at workall night, and thecompany will be able tohandle business to-day without delay.The wires running south on the Savan-nah, Florida and Western railway, werevery little broken.

THE RICK CROP UNINJURED.Very little was heard from tbe rice

plantations, but the few reports . whichhave come in are to the effect that littleor no damage was done to the crops alongthe Savannah, Back and New rivers.Some rice was blown down, butthere was no water to speakof. The wind being from tbe west north-west, the water was blown fiom the plan-tations. In tact, there was no tide at all,jhe water being blown out of the rivers.Very little damage was done to crops Inany direction so tar as reports have beenreceived. There was little on the truckfarms to be injured. The fruit crop is ad-vanced so far that there was nothing todamage.

ASHORE ON THE KNOLL.The bark C. Chalmers, t apt. Walter

Stone, with mahogany from Mexico, wentashore on the knoll, one and one-halfmiles north of Tybee wharf at 2 o’clockin the morning. Saturday night sheanchored outside and was spoken by apilot, but refused to take one. Sundaymorning at 4 o’clock, the cable partedand she lost and anchor and45 fathoms of chain. The Captain thenmade sail and came inside. Mondaymorning the Captain went over to quar-antine station, but before he was ready toreturn the wind was blowing a gale andhe could not got back. At ti o’olockIn the evening she lost hersecond anchor and 60 fathomsof cable.The wind increased to a hurricane atmidnight, and at 1 o’clock was blowing70 miles an hour. The Chalmers begandragging at 11:80 o'clock, and

DRAGGED FIVE MILES,having lost a third anchor and 35 fathomsof cable at 1:30 o’clock. She went ash'resoon after, rolling heavily, with tbe seabreaking over her deck. Tue crew of ninemen thought she was going to pieces,but did not leave tbe vessel. Hersteering apparatus was broken, the rud-der post being wrenched out ol place.She is lying with her head to the south,and last night had 13 feet of water in herhold. The vessel is 20 years old and be-longs In Boness. She may get offsafely but it is not certaiu.

DRAGGED FROM HER ANCHORAGE.The British bark. N. Mosher, Capt.

Cook, in ballast, was lying at anchor inHie roads. She dragged three miles andlost an anchor betore striking on thenorth end of Tybee island. TheCaptain was in Savannnh at thetime She is Insured and is owned byDobell A Cos., of which tirm Capt. J. K.Clarke, of this city, is a member. Lastnight the tugs Constitution and Maudhailed her but did not try to pull her off,sne having 10 feet of water in her hold.She is 21 years old. She is lying in a dan-gerousposition, but may get off.

The Norwegian bark l’atent, which islying at quarantine station, was

STOVE IN AMIDSHIPS,and a large hole was knocked in tbe bowby bumping against tile wharf.The British steamship Marion. Capt.Jcffels, was riding at anchor above quar-antine a short distance. When struok bythe hurricane she dragged and struck oilthe lower end of the west side ot Longisland. The tug Constitution went to herassistance and at sundown pulled her off.

The pilot boat Jones was carriedwell up on shore on the upper

Ding island on the west, side, hutcame off at high water last night withoutassistance.

In the South channel the damage wasmuch less than in the North. The excur-sion steamer St. Nicholas was anenoredbetween Cockspur and McQueen islands.Sbe had two anchors out and put on 40pounds of steam, but even then could notkeep from dragging. The waves dashedup over the deck and she was blownashore opposite Fort Pulaski, but cameoff at high water about sun rise.

The pilot boat Wilder was blown on thetnarsb on McQueen’s Island and she toogot off at high tide.

AT TYBKK.On Tybee Island the wind blew at one

time 70 miles an hour. All day a sandstorm prevailed and the weather lookedthreatening. Old residents scanned theclouds closely and expressed tears of arepetition ol the storm of 1881. Afterdark the wind blew harder, and as thenight wore on it became a gale. At firstit came from the northeast, but laterveered around to thenorth. Theresidentswent to bed with anxious minds. Luckilythe hurricane was fiercest about thelime of low tide and the island escaped adeluge by a tidal wave, as occurred fouryears ago, when the hurricane struck. Ty-bee at high tide.

The storm wasRAGING AT TWO O’CLOCK.

Tbo wooden houses swayed perceptibly,and oneowned by Charles Carroll, near thewharf and west of the railroad track,cracked at each violent gust. Sirs. Car-roll w as alone, and fearing that the bousewould be blown down, she leftIt a lew minutes before 3.Tbe was then howling amongthe trees, and the rain was falling in tor-rents. The air was lull of sand andpieces of wood which tbe wind picked upand hurled with great force across theisland.* Mrs. Cart oil made her waythrough the dark to the house of a nearneighbor, Mr. D. J. Fatten. One hourand a half later tbe storm seemed at itsheight, and with a crash Ca roll’s housewas blown down and completely demol-ished. Almost everything in it was a to-tal wreck. The building was two StortMhigh and contained eleven room*, it wasvalued at $1,690. and the furniture atS4OO.

Yesterday the former site of tho housewas covered with nine*of broken timbersand furniture. I'hivc chairs and a mat-tress were the only articles saved.

SMALL 111 II.DINGS WRECKED.A kitchen attached to ibe dwelling of

W. T. Daniels was also wrecked, it wasoccupied by Charles Johnson, colored, andhi wife. They esi-aiied only a fow min-utes tietore the building fell.

Tne wind swept most furiously acrosstbe west side of the island. Col. Estili’sstable*weie unroofed, and soon after thebuilding was blown down and wrecked.The gale tore away a portion of thewharf shid an 1 dropped it in the fiver.

On tbe eust side the hotels and resi-deuces suffered little. ’ Those of the resi-dents who were there in |K*t thought thatfor a little while that night the storm wasworse than four years ago. The guestsin the hotels were hadlv frightened, butno nusnap occurred. Sirs. Collins badthe itarm west escape, for while she wasgoing to her neighbor's house she wasneat it btowi Imm Um watar. a pet |*sthat wa* In the bouse was taken out withtwo legs broken, after daylight, when thewind ceased.

THE CITY OT SAVANNAH IN PORT,The steamship City of Navanneli, from

Sew York, arrived last Blfhlßt k o’olook.twelve hours overdU”. title ie|xirted sDu. h night and a heavy sea. she was•t'lies by th* hurricane off Charlestonabou midnight. Tbe wind was blowing

toward shore, and she was headed out tosea. A heavy rain was falling and theship pitched from side to side, to the con-sternation of the passengers, almost allOf whom hpeatne sick. Tue waves rolledhigh and broke over the steamer. Theofficers say that it was one ofthe roughest nights they ever ex-perienced. The vessel shippedheavy sens and the water poured inthrough the broken headlights. The sailswere split and the railing carried away,and had not tbe steamer been one of tbestaunchest of ships she could not havelived through the gale. Her cargo shiftedand gave ner a tremendous list. Thewater that she shipped poured throughthe cabins and found its wav to the hold,damaging the cargo. At 3 o’clock thestorm was most furious, and fifteen menwere at work bailing out the cabins,which were flooded.

Cspt. Daggett kept his vessel headingoff the const and handled her with greatnerve and skill. Due of the passengerssaid that “for hours they hung on theverge of death.”

RESOLUTIONS* OF THANKS.After the danger was over the passen-

gers adopted the following resolutionsexpressing their gratitude to Capt. Dag-gett and bis officers and crew.

Umpired, By tli passengers on the steamship City of Savannah, that in view of thesudden am! terrible storm whioh ha-ju-t beenweathered aud h* now worn away, they aresatisfied that the preservation of the slop andeargo, and of the lives of numerous passen-gers, are entirelydue to the unselfishheroismand persis'ent devotion of the able com-mander, officers, and crew of the ship.

Ht*olre>l That the passengers of the Cityof Savannah recognize in the management ofthe ship the secret of ihsirrescue from a end- |den and appalling death; and that they willcherish with gratitude and affection the nameof Commander Daggett, and the memory ofhm courage,his decision and force of charac-ter, and tns consummate skill by whioh bewas enabled to save much property and manyprecious lives.

THE GROUNDED CHALMERS.Yesterday afternoon Dr. McFarland,

the health officer, went down tbe river onthe tug Constitutionand boarded the barkChalmers. Being from an infected district,Mexico, she is subjected to quarantineregulations. The vessel is out of provis-ions, and the Captain intended to comeinto Savannah to get a fresh supply. Hisvessel will now he detained ior quite atime in getting off and repairing. Capt.Stone says that he has had no sickness onhoard since sailing.

In coming in the river Sunday withoutproceeding to quarantine he viofated, un-wittingly, he claims, quarantine rules.Had he gone direct to the quarantine sta-tion his vessel would undoubtedly havebeen sate.

TRAINS DELAYED.South-bound trains on the Charleston

and Savannah railroad were seriously de-layed. The fast mail due at 7o’clook was several hours late,delayed by trees falling across the track.When tbe train left Charleston at 4o'clock the city had not yet felt the forceot tbe storm. The rain was tailing Intorrents, and the tracks were submerged,but no serious damage had yet b“en done.Tbe last mall was the last train out ofCharleston. The bridge over the Ashleywas swept away by the cyclone, whichstruck the city an hour later and travelwas cut off. Construction and wreckingtrains were at once sent out to repair thetrack. Master of Transportation Craig,with a gang of men, was at the scene, amiit was expected that everything would bein readiness to transfer the passengersand mails of New York train, whichlett Havannah last night.

On the Savannah, Florida and Westernrailway and Central railroad, no damagewas reported.

After getting off of Long Island theMarion steamed up the river and madefast below the City of Bridgeton’s dock,but in so doing struck the Bridgeton aftand damaged her, but it is not believed tobe serious.

THE WM. LAWRENCE DISABLED.The steamship City of Savannah reports

having passed at 1 p. m. yesterday 20miles east northeast of Martin’s Industrylightship the Italian bark MoriaDuina, ofOastellamare, Italy, and irom I.icota,Italy, bound for Port Royal. The barkwas partially di-masted anil her sailswere blown away, but she did not wantassistance. The steamer also reports thatat 4 p. m. yesterday she passed the steam-ship VVtn. Lawrence, from Baltimore forthis port, 15 miles from the lightship with5 feet ot water In her hold and flres out.She was pumping the water out with tbedonkey engine. The Lawrence reportedthat, she would }igbt fires under her mainboiler and proceed. She likewise declinedassistance.

TKACK OF THE STORM.The cyclone was probably formed in the

South Atlantic ocean north of the WestIndia islands and traveled duo west untilit reached the apex of Its course, de-scribed bv an elliptical curve, at a pointnortheast of Jacksonville and southeastfrom Savannah.

At 3 o’clock Monday afternoon whenthe wind at Jacksonville was blowing 40miles per hour that station was on theleft of the storm centre, which was mov-ing slowly up the coast on a line east ofnorth. At It o’clock at night the wind atSavannah was from the east, showingthat the

CENTRE OF THE STORMwfis due south. The barometer at thathour was 29.81 inches. At t o’clockyesterday morning the wind was fromthe noribeast, with a velocity of 21 miles,the barometer having fallen in the previ-ous two hours to 29.71. The change inthe direction of the wind from east tonortheast indicated that tbe storm centrewas swinging away front the ooast, andthat, its course would be by the sen in-stead of inland. At 2 o’clock the barome-ter had fallen to 29.62, and the windwas from the north, blowing20 miles. The wind continued to back to-wards the northwest during the nexthour. At 8 o'clock its direction wasnorth northwest. Its velocity was 24miles, the haroinete- standing st. 29 51.At 4 o’clock it went us low as 29.38, thewind being from the northwest with a

VELOCITY OF 56 MILES.This velocity became apparent at 3:45

o’clock and was kept up 30 minutes, oruntil 4:15 O'clock,

After that the barometer began to rise,w hile the winf continued to heck, thevelocity at the Janie time decreasing. At5 o clock the direction of the wind waswest northwest, tbe barometer showingan atmospheric pressure of 29.50, andthe velocity of the wind was 10 miles. Asthe wind hacked around from toe easttowards the northwest, tbe storm centraadvHiici <1 from the south, taking a north-east course, and left Savannah on its left.

A comparison in the reading of thebarometer at Jacksonville and Savannah,When the wind attuined its greatestvelocity at the respective stations, showsthat thestorm passed

NEARER TO SAVANNAHthan to Jacksonville. The barometer wasmuch lower at Savannah yemerdav morn-ing at t o'clock than at Jeekeonvtlle onthe preceding afternoon at 3 o'clock.The velocity of the wind bong somuch greater here than at Jacksonville,also Indicated that Savannah was nearerthe centre of the storm than the othercity hud twen. Charleston was, however.Immediately In its track, but owing to theinterruption of telegraphic communica-tion. the report from the signal atationwaa not, received at Savannah, hence nocomparisons cau at present tie made to■how what the relative velocity of thestorm was between the two places.

AFTER PASSING CHARLESTONthe storm continued in a northeasterlyeoursH inland, leaving Snilinvllle, N, C,,on It* right. At this station at 3 o’clockyesterday afternoon the wind wua blow-ing from tbe eoutb at 55 miles an hour.When the grealeel velocity repotted atSimMivlllo and Savannah arc considered

it seems reasonable to suppose thateach ot the stations were rela-tively about the same distancefrom the storm centre, one being on theleft and the other on the right. If thecyclone continues to move towards thenortheast at tbe same speed which markedits progress during tbo 24 hours ending at3 o’clock yesterday aiternoon, It will passin the vicinity of Norfolk, Va., this after-noon.

The storm here was unaccompanied bythunder, and lightning. Rain, however,felt at intervals with blinding force andapparently in horizontal instead of ininclined or perpendicular lines. The totalraiulall at Savannah for the 24 hours end-ing at 10o’clock yesterday morning wasI.DO inches.

The storm signals were ordered downat Savannah at 1 o’clock this morning.At that hour the storm was reported cen-tral in the vicinity of iJatteras and wasmoving northeast.

A COMPARISON WITH 1881.The oyclono of 1881 commenced on Aug.

27. On that day at 10:44 o’clock in theforenoon the wind was from the North,blowing at tbe rat- ol 32 miles per houraud the barometer stood at 29.61. At 2o’clock in the afternoon tbe wind wasfrom the North with a velocity of 36miles and tbe barometer read 29:48.At 6:44 o’clock in the eveningthe wind had begun to back around to-wards the northwest. The velocity was33 miles and mercurv in the barometerstood at 29.30. At 7:30 o’olock the windshifted from north northwest to northnortheast. At 8 o’clock the rain was fall-ing in white sheets and the wind wasblowing 48 miles per hour from sorthnortheast. At B:4ft o'clock the anemom-eter at the signal station indicated a ve-locity of 60 miles per hour, the directionbeing northeast. At 9:20 o’clockthe barometer went as low as 29.08, buttbe direction and velocity of the wind wasnot observed, as the wind vane and theanemometer had been carried away, to-gether with the roof of the building inwhich the station was located. Vividflashes of lightning and long reverberat-ing peals ot thunder accompanied thestorm, and formed a marked coutrast be-tween It and tbeoae which occurred yes-terday morning.

Not to Withdraw Their Business.It is stated in one of the Augustapapers

that Hon. Kobt. H. May, Mayor of thatcity, personally requested Messrs. Moore& Slnnott, agents of John Gibson’s Son&

Co.’s whiskies, not, to withdraw theirbusiness from Augusta, which they wereabout doing, assuring them that it, was,in his opinion,very doubtful if prohibitionwould ever prevail fere. It is probable,therefore, that the business will be con-tinued.
