MANY PEOPLE PERISH A GREAT LOSS OF LIFE BY THI HURRICANE. Three Hundred anil Fifty I'erlth In Flor Ida— Hundreds of Fishermen Over whelmed—Cedar Keys Almost Cal< Waste—Town After Town Virtually Wiped Out—A |rsat Property Loss. The West India Hurricane. Jacksonville, Kia , Oct J. — At (east 350 lives—possibly 500— were lost in and about Cedar Keys as a re sult of the terrific hurricane and tidal wave Tuesday night. Of 100 fishing and sponge boats with from four to ten men each, anchored below the town Monday night, only about twenty escaped destruction, and the loss of life there is estimated at from #30 to £50 In the town itself, before the storm, a thriving place of 1,500 people, twenty dead bodies have been recovered from the mud and ruins. l'> W Vl nil UAH n PA Llo.wCn,. nn.l ■cores are suffering from injuries. The town was situated at th« mouth of the buwanee rirer on a number of small kevs connected by bridges. Scores of lives were also lost in the ■pouge fishing section. The hurri cane struck the place about 3:30 o'clock Tuesday morning and contin ued for several houra Though warn ing had been given, nothing indicated a blow of unusual severity, and up to 1! o'clock the night was calm and quiet At that time a moderate breeze sprang up from the eastward, Increasing gradually until a thirty mile wind was blowing. About 4 o'clock a perfect tornado was blowing. Then the wind suddenly changed to the southeast, bringing a perfect del ude of water, the tide rising two feet higher than in the gale of 1804. DEATH IN A TIDAI. WAVE. At 7 o’clock an Immense tidal wave came in from the south, carrying de struction with it. Boats, wharves and small houses were hurled upon the shore auil broken into fragments. This tidal wave caused the principal loss ot life, many houses being swept away from their foundations and the inmates drowned. In Cedar Keys, when the tidal wave came and overwhelmed the houses, mBny of the inmates floated in the water, clinging to pieces of timber; others clung to tree tops for hours, until the water receded. They were huffetted by wind and waves and many men tainted, but clung even while unconscious to the tree limbs. Many are still unaccounted for, and families and friends are filled with anxiety, hoping for the best, but fear ing the worst. In view of the utter destruction wrought by the storm, it seems miraculous that there is a sin gle person alive in Cedar Keys to-day. While the gale was at its height fire broke out in the Bettina bouse. In a few seconds the entire building was wrapped in flames, which quickly communicated to the bchleinmer hotel, adjoining, and in a very short time nothing was left of eitlier house ex cept the bare walls. The inmates saved nothing. They made their es cape by wading through four feet of water. The bridges connecting the keys were swept away, and the only com munication is by means of boats, of which few are left. Then, too, most ol the victims were buried deep in mud by the tidal wave, and many of the bodies will probably never be re covered. Beyond the bar there are a score of masts visible just above the water, and each top indicates the burial place of a sponging schooner and its crew. It is possible that many of the vessels were blown out into the gulf and rode out the hurricane, but the Mary Eliza’s captain thinks that by far the greater number are beneath the water with their crews. He savs that there was Dot one chance in'a i • thousand for such frail craft to live in buch a hurricane. It is expected that for days to come corpses of the spongers will be found along the coast THIRTY DEAD IN I.BVY COUNTY. In the Western part of Levy and Alachua counties not less than 300 families are left destitute. Scores we re injured and over thirty were killed in Levy county. The town of Fannin was completely destroyed with the exception of one small house. The town of Needmore was demol ished.

Tha Populist Vice Presidential Candidal Wa rm I ndrr the Collar. Att.ajiTA. Oa., Oct 9—In this week's Issue of his People's partj paper Thomas El Watson, Populisl nominee for vice president, makes the following editorial attack on Chair ! man Marion Butler of the Populist national committee: “Attempts have been made to show that Mr. Watson favored fusion in the state of Indiana. This is not correct Mr. Watson took the position at the beginning of the campaign tliatAo Populist could con sistently vote for a single Bewail elector any more than he oould vote for a Hobart elector. He filed with Chairman Butler a written pretest against Mr. Butler’s fueloil polley. Mr. Butler has ignored Mr. Watson's protest anil gone steadily forward on his own line. “Mr. Watson's position la now what it was when the Ueorgla state conven tion met. He is for u straight 'mid dle-of-the-road' ticket In no other way can the Democratic managers be forced to abide by the St Louis con tract Mr. Watson's position has been humiliating and embarrassing, and be has been compelled to submit to polk cies he did n«t approve." A DRUNKARD’S CRIME. fatally Injur** a 17*Year-Old Olrl and Kill* Ulmaelf With a ftaior. IIomatr, Ohio, Oct 3.—-A terrible double tragedy occurred last night twe miles south of this place in the home of Mrs. J. P. Ricker, a widow. The family consisted of the widow and two children, her daughter, Annie, 17 years old, and a son. Another inmate of the home for some time past ha* been a boarder, Nathan K. Spellman. The latter catno home in a beastly state of Intoxication and was repri manded by Mrs. Ricker. Nx>e11man, while the son was at school and Mrs. Ricker was out attending to the stock, went into the house, and found the daughter ironing. What followed can only be surmised. Anna Ricker waa attacked and her skull crushed. Spell man then undertook to destroy his own life by hanging. This attempt being a failure, lie resorted to n method more successful. Lying on hi* back across a bed, his head hanging so it almost touched the floor, he drew a razor across his throat, severing the jugular vein. Anna Ricker, at last accounts, was alive, but unconscious, and there is do possible hope of her recovery. Spell man is dead. CANNON IN THE AIR. New Feat Brings Death to a Venture tome Aeronaut.

Tbe matter was being investigated, and if any lawful means could be found they would be exercised in be half of tbe refugees.
