.Tackconviu.k, Fla., Oct. S. At
least .1.10 lives possibly S00 were
lost lu and about Cedar Keys ns a re
sult of llio tcri'illc hurricane and tidal
wave Tuesday night. Of 100 fishing
and srongo boats with from four to
ten men each, anchored below tho
town Monthly night, only ubout
twenty escaped destruction, and tho
loss of life thero Is estimated at from
830 to J.'iO In tho town Itself, before
tho storm, a thriving place of 1,500
people, twenty dead bodies Jiave been
recovered from thu mud und ruins.
Few houses tire left standing and
scores are. suffering from injuries.
The town was situated at thu mouth
of the Suwant". river on a numtci' of
small keva connected by bridges,
hcorcs of lives erc also lost in tho
sponge fishing section, Tho hurri
cane struck tt'ie place ubout 3:!0
o'clock Tuesday morning ami con tin -led
for .several liouis. '1 hough warn
;ig had been given, nothing Indicated
t blow of unusu.ll severity, and up to
! o'clock tho night was calm and
quiet. At that time a moderate
bree.o sprang up from tho oaslwurd,
increasing gradually until it thirty
mile wind was blowing. About
o'clock a perfect tornado was blowing.
Then the wind suddenly changed tu
the southeast, bringing a perfect del
uge of water, tho tide rising two feet
higher than lu tho gale of ln'.U.
HKATII IN' A T.IIAI. WAVIi
At 7 o'clock tin Immense tldul wavo
came In from the south, carrying de
struction with It Koats, wharves
and small houses were hurled upon
tho shorn und broken into fragments.
Tills tidal wave caused thu principal
loss of life, many houses being swept
awuy from their foundations and tho
inmates drowned.
Iu Cedar Keys, when the tidal wavo
vr.mu and overwhelmed the houses,
mruy of the inmates limited in tho
iVMcr, clinging to pieces of timber;
ethers clung to tree tops for hours,
tiutU tho water receded. They wero
bul'etted by wind and waves and
iirmy men fainted, but clung even
while unconscious to the treu limbs.
Many aru still unaccounted for, and
families and friends aro filled with
anxiety, Imping for the best, but fear
ing tho worst, lu view of the utter
destruction wrought by the storm, it
seems miraculous that there is a sin
gle person alive iu Cedar Key.s to-day.
Wlille the gule was at Its height tiro
brohc out in the lSeltiuu house In a
few seconds thu entire budding was
wrapped In Haines, which quickly
communicated to the bchlemmer hotel,
adjoining, and in a very short time
nothing was left of cither house ex
cept thu bare walls. The inmates
saved nothing. They mado their cs
capu by wading through four feet of
water.
Tho bridges connecting tho keys
were swept away, and the only com
munication is by means ot boats, of
which few aro left. Then, too, most
of thu victims wero buried deep in
mud by the tidal wave, uml many of
the bodies will probably never bo re
covered. Ueyond tho bar there are a scorn of
masts visible just above the water,
and each top indicates the burial
place ot a sponging schooner and its
crew. It is possible that many of the
vessels wero blowu out into tho gulf
uml rode out tho hurricane, but thu
Mary l.li.u's captain thinks that by
far the greater number aru beneath
tho water with their crews. Ho say
that thuru was not one chance inij
thousand for such frail craft to live iu
such a hurricane. It is expected that
lor uays to como corpses ol llio
spongers will be found iiloiig thu
coast.

simply that the old soldiers had gone
to war to preserve tho country under

that the country should continue Ho
appealed to tho voters not to lot any
"fool Pops" mislead thorn Tho Pop
ulists were men who wanted another

At Strong City a hall of twenty min

attention and when General Sickles
spoke it becomo somewhat enthusias
