We find it stated in the Philadelphia

The Kortlt Gcrtnkn Gazelle, Bismarck's-

John Jacob Astor I is
said to have!
deeded his estate, worth about $65,000,-1
000, to his only son, W. W. Astor, the
United States Minister at Rme. The
father reserves an annuity ol $100,000

to keep the estate intact f from genera

England.

The. Philadelphia Record has this:
"It is reported that J ohn Roach said :

Ito interfere with the work. No doubt
he could. But the naval officers who
have to go to sea in j the naval vessels
may be obliged to interfere
to see
that
when the government pays a dear price
it does not get a cheap yessel. No one
doubts Mr. Roach's ability to build
cheaply for him self J j
The Philadelphia Times scores one
for Jay Gould: "Let1 intelligent per
sons take what view they may of Mr.
Gould's career, they will 'search in vain
for anything of the commonplace. He
has.simply bought when! other people
wanted to sell, and! Fold when other
people wanted to buy!. As a result he
finds himself, at forty-seven, one of the
richest men in tlje j world, with ! ability
and discipline to maintain his fortune,
and with intellectual resources to enjoy
it when the taste for nacre acquisition is
gone."

THE STORM KING.
How lie Raved all Night. L.odjt
Very Liittle- Damage Done
Here High Tides and Float-

j Blowiujr Big Guns South of
Us &c. &c. .
The storm which had been brewing
ever since Sunday and had been hourly
increasing in strength,1 until at about 10
o cloekr last night it had reached the
magnitude of a hurricane, continued
to blow "all through the I night with
terrific forte. This morning bore am
pie testimony to its violence in the pros
trate fences, limbs of trees which, had
been wrenched off and, by the leaves
with which the streets were lined. The
rain poured in torrents nearly all night,
but abated somewhat as the hour of
sunrise approached, j Tho gutters were
flooded and some of the streets and
sidewalkSjWere badly washed . During
tho morning hours the wind continued
io diow vioienuy at times ana tne ram
came in frequent showers, although not
in such torren's as it did during the
uight. The. river steamers remained
at their wharves on j account of the
storm. The tide in the Cape Fear
rose to an immense height and no
craft were moving upon its I waters
save an occasional steam tug. I During
the forenoon some attempts were made
at repairing the 'damage done - by the
storm, but nearly every one philosoph
ically concluded to wait until it ad
entirely abated.
About 9 o'clock this forenoon the
brig Havana, which was in the stream
nearly opposite theMessrsKidder's mill,
dragged her anchor and drifted ashore
on the West bank nearly abreast of the
"Dram Tree." The steamtugs Bldnclie,
Craighill; AlpJia, Italian and Nyce went
to her assitance, and by their united
efforts she wag pulled off and towed into
the'stream, where she was again an
chored with her head to the wind and
another anchor let go astern to keep her
steady. i .
Parties arriving from the Sound this
morning report that the damage there
is nearly or quite as great as it was in
the hurricane ot two years ago.. All the
bath houses have been washed awayj
and there was much fear that the Banks
House of the Carolina Yacht Club
would share the same fate. The latter
building was to have been occupied to
day by the Club, as it is the day aps
pointed for the regatta, but which was
necessarily postponed on account of the
storm. The marshes were all covered,
even at low water, and tnere were
grave apprehensions that at the top of
the tide the sea would break complete
ly over the banks. u
There were many laughable occur
rences during the day occasioned by the
vagaries of the wind, and we are glad
that we have no serious accident to
record. The! top of the Southern Ex
press Company's wagon was blown off
just as it had returned to the office from
the!delivery of packages, and went saii
ing along threatening to make a forcible
entry into Messrs. McDougall & Bow
den's saddlery and harness store through
one of thejwindows. It was no unusual
sight to see an excited pedestrian chas
ing a hat which was trundling off on
its rim with painful rapidity towards
Market dock.' .
" We learn that there was no storm at
Columbia, S. C. yesterday, while; a1
Charleston, S. C. , and Savannah, Ga.
the gale blew I at about 30 miles per
hour. Officials on the W. C. & A. R.
R.. who arrived here this morning,
report that a storm of wind and rain
accompanied them all the way from'
Florience. S. C to this city, and that at
Flemington and Whitevilc it blew, fear
fully. 1
The 'maximum velocity of the wind in
this city was 39 miles per hour. From
passengers who arrived from Smith
ville last night we learn that it blew a
strong gale at that place, but as the tele
graph wires are down we are able to
give but little account of the storm at
that place. The wires aro down in al
most every direction, and for the pres
ent we seem to be cut off from comruu-
nication with the outside world.
An Usrlj' Neiffhhor.
A few days since at Duplin Road,
Duplin county, Mr. Cornelius Boney,
son of Mr. Ephraim Boney, killed in
thojyard or the latter a rattlesnake
which was 5 feet and 10 inches in
length. 10 Inches around the body, 7
inches around the head, 3 inches be
tween the eyes, and had 14 rattles. This
makes the ; second rattlesnake which
has been killed near the same place
within the last ten days and both rep
tiles were nsarly of ths rams size. -

. The Charleston News and Courier
came to us this morning with a hand
some map of that city, printed in colori
and showing the divisions of the city
into twelve wards, by act of the Legfg.
lature. It is another evidence of ihe
great enterprise displayed by the Neios
and Courier, but, then, it has an appro
ciative people to back it up.
Wires Down.
The telephone wires are .down be
tween here and the Sound and in many
places throughout the city, in conse
quence of which telephonic communica
tion is almost entirely interrupted.
Workmen arc employed this afternoon
in repairing the damage and the lines
will be all complete by to-morrow, and
in good working order.
The Rainfall.
v.
An immense amount of rain seems to
have fallen here during the prevalence
of this storm, In all, the amount yes
terday and to-day is 7.60 inches, j as we
learn from the Signal Office here, dis
tributed as follows : From 7 a. m. yes
terday to 3 p. m. .64 inches; from 3 p.
m. to 11 p. m. 3.10 inches; from 11 p.

Sells' Circus.
We received a call this morning from
Mr. Peter Sells, Jr., Press Agent j for
Sells' Circus, which is to exhibit in this
eity on Saturday, the 29th insk We had
been prepared to expect in him. a genial,
pleasant gentleman and we were not
disappointed. Mr. Sells assures us ; that
his show is one ot the finest on the road
any where and that it is the best equip
ped show that has ever appeared in the
Southern States. The managene, he
says, is not only a menagerie in name
but in fact, and is prominent feature of
tbe show1, and this alone will; be worth
the price of admission. It really is the
largest circus now traveling, and has a
lamer and more choice collection of
animals than have been seen in one
collection. A herd of elephants, African
and Asiatic, ten in number, is one of the
features and these will appear in the
street parade. In tbe herd there are
two strange specimens of a woolly
species trom Malay, the only pair ever
brought to this country. Tho circus is
represented by the foremost members
of the equestrian and gymnastic corps,
and among the marvels ot the arena
there is a troupe ; of bicyclists whose
performances are said to be of the most
extraordinary character, ; Altogether it
is oner of the most comprehensive shows
that has ever visited this place.
