WILMINGTON, N. C, SATURDAY, JULY
THE STORM LIST SIGHT.
Velocity of ihe Wind Nearly One Mile
a Minute Trees and Telegraph
Wires Laid Low
Oar city and vicinity was visited last
evening, shortly after 9 o'clock, by one of
the severest gusts of wind, accompanied
by one of the heaviest rain storms, for
the short time it lasted, which has ever
come under our observation daring oar
life time residence here ia the city by
the sea. The weather yesterday, as we
all know in this vicinity; was intensely
hot, the Signal Office reporting the max
imum heigh th of the thermometer at 95
degrees. Bat the delicious cool sea
breeze which fanned oar heated cheeks
all day abated in some degree the sever
ity of the weather. At dark the breeze
was delightful although the night was
still quite warm, and the result of the
heat of the day was seen by the quanti
ty of electricity in the" sky, which was
shown by frequent flashes of sheet light
ning but unaccompanied by thunder,
until about 9 o'clock or shortly thereaf
ter when suddenly a roar of the mighty
wind was heard, the noise resembling, very
much the rumbling of a huge caravan
traversing an immense bridge or stony
road: Clouds upon clouds of dust filled
the air and were blown into stores and
dwellings and lights were extinguish
ed inside and outside of houses. On the
streets the lamps of the city were nearly
all blown out at one gust Then came
more vivid flashes of lightning, accom
panied by deep, loud peals of thunder.
Every one looked for a cyclone or hurri
cane, and thought of the frightful disas
ters which have occurred in the far
Northwest recently and the damage
done there to life and property from the
fearfnl tornadoes. Amidst it all there
was a temperance address being deliver
ed to quite a respectable crowd of people
by Mr. W. R. Hunter at the head of
the eld market site. But in an instant
all was darkness, the lights were blown
out, hats were taken and carried high in
the air, while dry goods boxes piled on
the sidewalk (were taken up and carried
from one point to another by ' the
fearful wind, like so much chaff
in the breeze. . The speaker's
voice was hushed in a second and in less
time than it has taken us to write it ev
ery person in the crowd and on the stree
darted with almost lightning speed for
the nearest shelter of a house. But final
ly the rain, the blessed rain, which seem
ed to temper the wind down to a norma!
current, came down in copious showers.
the heavens seemed to open while the
water descended in torrents and the wind
lulled to a considerable extent Then i
was that everybody's mind or body, or
both, for that matter, felt decidedly more
comfortable and easy. The gale lasted
some tea or fifteen minutes, and had it
extended to half an hour there is no tell
ing what the extent of the damage migh
have been. As it was, trees and fences
were prostrated in all parts of the city.
Bat among the shipping en the river we
have heard of no damage, the old tars be
ing forewarned by their barometers o
what was coming, got out extra hawsers
and secured themselves before the gale
broke upon them in all its fury. There
were several timber rafts which got loose
and were driven to pieces on the river.
At the Bounds, or between here and the
Sounds, numerous trees of large size
were felled to the ground by the violence
of the wind. Some of the telegraph and
telephone wires in the city were broken
and thrown upon the ground. This was
the case also with the wires of the Sig
nal office between here and Smithville
although we learn there was no damage
done right - at Smithville. . The Signal
Officer at this station informs us that the
fary of the gale occurred about 9:32 p
m., that the thermometer fell from 95 to
73, 22 degrees in fifteen or twenty min
utes, and that for a period of five minutes
the wind travelled at the rate of nearly
one mile a minute. We are happy to
say, however, and we may add that we
feel thankful that we are able to say,
that so far, we have heard of no loss of
life.
There was a fine audience present last
night at the head of the old Market site
to hear Mr. W. R. Hunter on the ub-
ject of Prohibition but the storm came
op and dispersed them before the speaker
had concluded.
Sunset to-morrow afternoon at 10 xoin
ntes past 1 o'clock.
For the Review,
GIVE US A REST !
The war is overthe fight has been "fit."
The Tanks" were victorious the ."Con
feds" made to "git."
The fight were stubborn -all behaved well;
Slot only tke living, but those who tell.
The former we'll honor from the depth of
our heart.
While the mem'ry of the latter will ne'er
depart.
Who fired the first shot and laid the first
plan
Seem 8 to have escaped the memory of man.
Fort Fisbertt'ow built, commanded and fall.
But to whom belongs the honor, can any
one toll?
Each one will his own story so vigorously
state
That they searce can tell what part any
other did ta&e.
Alas, for the dead, their ton trues are still.
tWnlle the ltviog can bay what they will.
6l!aotly they sleep In their konored graves.
,While where the fort stood is washed by
the waves. -The
names of 'Fisher" ftnd "Whltlns" are
indlssolubly joined.
And none to displace them can ever be
coined.
The honor of buildinz you may divide to
your liking,
Bnt the glory of defence will cling ever
to Whiting.
If he was there without a command,
If he was therewith no sword in his hand.
His presence a thrill sent t!iro' each-heart
That enthused every soldier to act nobly
his part.
And when the crash came in the thick of
the fight.
Wounded, he fell. In the enemies sight .
And th words that he spoke while stretched
on his cot
By true Southern soldiers will ne'er be
forgot.
Nothing more could he have said, to add to
his splendor.
Than, "Lamb, when you die, the fort I'll
never surrender "
We fought for "our rights o'erpowered we
fell;
How bravely we battled the world knows
well.
And onr children will have nothing to turn
from in shame.
But as years grow upon them they'll honor
onr name.
Our enemies, even, will learn in their day
To honor the foemen who held them at
bay.
It matters not now who built Fort Fisher ;
Decide as you may will not alter the
issue.
Let the past be forgotten let the matter
''take a rest,"
Granting that all who were engaged did
ineir very level Dest.
"Cost ed."
Death of Daiid Pigoti.
We regret to learn of the sudden
death, in Savannah, Georgia, last night,
from the excessive heat of the weather 'of
Mr. David Pigott, formerly and for the
space of nearly thirty years a resident of
this city. Mr. Pigott came here from
.beautort. his native ulace. when quite a
boy, and was first employed by the firm
of Howard & Peden. wholesale and re
tail grocers, in the building now occupied
by Messrs. Cronly & Morris; after this
he was successively engaged in business
on his own account, except during the
lour years ot war. when after serving a
short time in the Wilmington Light In
fantry at the Forts below, he entered
the Treasury service and was em
ployed in the Collector's office of this
port until the final crash came. After
the war he embarked in the produce bro
kerage business, but eventually gave
that up and for a long time was engaged
in the wholesale and retail tobacco busi
ness. But Dame Fortune, always fickle
with those who think her most sure, final
ly deserted him and left him without her
aid or good will. A second time Mr.
Pigott essayed to recuperate his finan -
cial condition by embarking in 'the pro"
duce brokerage business, but meeting
with little success here he migrated to
Savannah over a year ago, where we I
learn he had about established himself in
a good brokerage business.
The deceased was something over fifty
years of age, probably 53 or 54, He was
a man of undoubted veracity upon all
questions and was regarded as a person
of the strictest integrity. His remains,
we leara, will not be brought here, but
will be interred at Savannah.
May the sod rest lightly o'er him.

Xolos by iheWay.
The Floral Fair at Wadesboro, given
under the acspices of the Dixie Agricul
tural Association, .came to a close on
Thursday. The Fair was a success and
came fully up to the' expectations of its
friends and projectors. The exhibits were
numerous and meretorious and the mana
gers paid especial attention to procuring
a variety of arr.asement3 for the lar:re
number of visitors who were drawa
thither by the Fair. Thome's Come ly
Company gave two dramatic perform
ances each day ia the building oa tbe
groucds, playing comedy pieces. The
glass ball shooting and tournament were
the features of the day. At night the
coronation ball took place in a very large
and spacious hall. Misslna McCall was
crowned Queen of Love and Beauty and
well and gracefully did she carry the hon
ors bestowed upen her. The ball was a
perfect success and was immensely enjoy
ed by the young folks in attendance.
Thursday's attendance at the Fair was
very large and all seemed to enjoy them
selves. Miss Ina McCall, "the little Southron,"
as she has been named by our Northern
brethren, whom a great many of our
citizens will remember crave such, excel-
lent recitations in this city a short time
since, read at Crowley's Hall on Thurs
day evening to a fall house. Her versa
tility of talent is remarkable, and by her
most pleasing readings and modest, lady
like demeanor, she won many new friends.
She has sufficient stage mannerism, but
nothing pertaining to "shoddyism" Xr
"snydeism." She is destined, we think,
to fill an exalted position in the profes
sion which she has adopted.
The crops between ? Wilmington and
Laurinburg look very well, but every,
thing beyond Laurinburg is burnt up.
We are told that there has been but one
rain in the Pee Dee section since April.
Vegetables, cantaloupes and me Ions are
luxuries there, which have to be import
ed from Wilmington. It is predicted
that not one-half a crop will be made in
Richmond, Anson and Union counties
and in the border counties in South
Carolina.
