York Ban's Review of the Cotton Market. -By- Telegraph to the Morning Star. New York, October 1. The Sun says: Cotton opened one to four points higher, reacted and declined slightly, then rallied and advanced six to eight points, bat lost this, closing qaiet and unchanged, with sales of 137,800 bales. New Orleans declined three points, but rallied and advanced slightly. Spot cot ton here was unchaeged, with sales of 600 bales .for export and 385 for spin ning. ' Cotton features: O vinz to the ab-1 tence of news from the South, the spec ulation to-day was again as small as yes terday. The fl actuations were con tinned within a narrow range and at the close they were unchanged from last night's closing. A North Carolina tele gram stated that the Commissioner of Agriculture of that State estimated that one-quarter cf the cotton crop had been blown out of the fields. This report, to gether with better Liverpool news to day than had been expected, caused a slight advance at the time, but the im provement was soon lost. A letter from Bennettsville, S..C said that the storm bad done extreme damage to the cotton crop and that the gins had been blown down. It is gen erally believed here that the crop has been seriously injured by the storm, but in the absence of news there is no desire to speculate. ; V GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Clarxsiurg, W. Va., October 1. This is the biggest day la Clarksburg tor years past and the town from early morning has been thronged with people from all ' parts of this section. Crowds came from Gilmer, Braxton, Lewis, Webster and all central counties in large numbers, and they were very enthusi astic When the Bryan train reached Clarksburg, thousands of people were at the depot to welcome him, and a crowd on the depot to greet. After a short time be appeared and was given a rous ing cheer. He was escorted to the Traders' Hotel by the local committee. a feature of the escort being horsemen mounted od sixteen white horses and one yellow. Chairman Edmuhdston, loba T. Davis and John T- McGraw oc cupied carriages with the nominee. After breakfast Mr. Bryan was escorted to tne fair grounds by the horsemen. A big crowd was already there, for Congress man McMillen. of Tennessee, delivered a speech at 9 a. m., before Mr. Bryan ar rived. ' 'V William T. Brvan left Grafton on a special train at 9 80 a., m. and arrived here some hours later, tie spent tne night at Grafton at the residence of J. T. McGraw. National committeeman from this Slate, 'and managed to get a sood rest. Mr. Bryan had a narrow escape from being robbed of his sleep. Two pbotogr&pi fakirs were taken into custody at Grafton on suspicion of being connected with the gangot pickpockets following the Bryan party. One of them said be had presented a letter of intro duction to Mr. Bryan and wanted the candidate summoned to identify him. The hearing lasted until 4 p. m. At that hour it was decided that it Mr. Bryan was detained as a witness his West Vir ginia schedule would be disarranged and the men were released with personal recognizances. Mr. Bryan and his party had breakfast at the Traders' Hotel here. Despite the continued bad weather there was a big crowd in the streets. The candidate was persuaded while at the hotel to make bis appearance on the balcony, where he made a short speech to six hundred enthusiastic people. At 11.80 the special train palled out for Parkeisburg. Parkjersburg, W. Va.. October 1. The largest assemblage of people ever known here heard Mr. Bryan deliver an address this afternoon at Stevens' Grove. Excursion trains brought in great crowds from nearby places. From Washington county, Ohio, the railroads and steamboats carried per hips 5.000 people, and from McKinley's State large contingents came. Mr. Bryan pro ceeded directly from the train to the grove, where 15.000 people gathered in an uncomfortable drizzle and cheered bim wildly. Gov. William McCorkle, of West Vir ginia, and Gen. A. J. Warner, of Ohio. President of the National Bimetallic League, had made speeches before the Democratic candidate arrived. Judge McClure, formerly of the Court of Com mon Pleas, presided at the meeting, and introduced Mr. Bryan. There was more wild cheering when the - candidate stepped forward. He spoke in part ss follows: "Ladies and Gentlemen Let me state two or three propositions for yon to con sider in the discussion of the . money question. There are those who do not want to see money broji&hx into the country, and it is they who have control of legislation; they so;Iegislate as not to create a large amount of money. They want lets money because these money owners profit by a rising dollar. I have somehow faith In the better nature of some people who are now against bimet allism that they are in absolute Ignorance of the misery which their conduct is causing, and yet I do not understand how in the midst of a great struggle like this, our opponents can keep themselves Ignorant ot so great a subject and con tinue blind to the .results of the gold standard (Cheers.) At 4.80 o'clock, two hours after his arrival here, Mr. Bryan left Parkersburg over the Ohio river railroad tracks in another special train. It consisted of the private car -' Governor McCorkle.' with the gentleman alter whom it was named in charge, and two other coaches. Just before the train drew out a bevy of pretty yfcung women boarded the car and were presented to Mr. Bryan. He told them this was the twelfth anniver sary of bis marriage, and the ninth an niversary of his arrival in Nebraska. Mr. Bryan said that; he regretted very much that he was not able to celebrate the day at his home. Wheeling. W. Va.. October 1. The trip of candidate Bryan along the banks of the Ohio river began at Parkersburg and Wheeling, and was marked by demonstrations at Sitterville and New Martinsville, the only stops. At Sister ville, the crowd at the station numbered about 200 people. They cheered for Mr. Bryan as be appeared on the back platform, and when the regulation brats band had finished playing, be made a short speech, which contained nothing new. The gathering at New Martins ville was composed of about 1.500 people. They showed considerable enthusiasm. Wheeling, W.Va,, October 1. Wm. J. Bryan has every reason to be proud of the recepsion he received here to-dav. Wheeling celebrated his presence with great enthusiasm, pyrotechnics galore and a gathering of humanity that has never before been seen within -the bor ders of the city. Ohio Joined with West Virginia in the demonstration made. From Steubenville came many excur sionists, including the members of two free silver clubs. One of these organi zations was called the Republican Free Silver Club and claimed 4,000 men in line, carrying a transparency sign, "Mark Hanna don't own us." Pitttbnrg sent fifteen hundred people. The vast throng on the streets when Mr. Bryan reached Wheeling were unprecedented in this town. How many were in the swarms of humanity along the sidewalks Is im possible of estimation, but an idea of their size may be gamed from the state ment that passage was almost impossible for pedestrians for the dozen Mocks over which the street parade passed. . The parade was quite imposing with its' free silver clubs in uinform and its troops of mounted men. The speaking took place on Wheeling! Island, in the Ohio : j i. . i J . i - river, and its four bridge approaches,two from the Ohio side of the river and the others from Wheeling, were put to their utmost capacity. At 4 o clock this afternoon the ' grand stand on the island, said to hold eight thousand people, was nearly full, and the assem blage gathered in size until by the time Mr. Bryan arrived there the crowd had become a remarkable one fn point of numbers. Estimates of its size are as high as 20.000, and it is claimed that 40,000 people were on the streets. Mr. Bryan was wildly cheered when he was introduced by Paul Ray man, a Demo crat of local prominence. - He con cluded at 0.15. and at midnight bis spe cial train left for Charleston, where he Is to speak to-morrow.

Savannah, Ga October 1. Tele graphic communication between Savan nah and Florida has not been re-established since the hurricane cf Tuesday snapped the wires as it came rushing north ward from the Gulf. 'Tha advices which have reached here of the storm's work in Florida cover the State pretty fully, but have come by mail. The blow came ashore from the Gulf on the coast line extending from Tampa to Cedar Keys, Tampa getting only the southern edge of the blow, its path ' across the State was a narrow one. though a large area seems to have been affected, in greater or less degree, by what might becallecTlhe edges of the storm. The registry of the velocity of the wind at the Government Weather Bureau at Jacksonville ao wed the remarkable and unprecedented record of nearly 100 mites an hour. This terrfic gale fortu nately lasted only alout ' a minute, but for five minutes of, which it was a part, the velocity was shown to be rather more than 70 miles an hour. The path of the greatest severity of the storm seems to have been not more thin about forty miles wdi. After passing over a strip of territory lying within the n irtbern part of the State, the storm, according to the weather au thorities, ' passed on to the Atlantic coast, which it followed north. The storm pissed around Tampa and there was but very little damage result ing from the wind, but the high tides plaed havoc and several thousand dol lar damage was done to property along the bay. Shipping along the river Iront suffered considerably. The tide overflowed Port Tampa City and the lower floors of many houses were under water. ' ; At Jacksonville the damage was con fined to the demolition ot trees, electric wires aod signs. At Newberry the damage consisted of destruction of nearly one-half of the property. The wholesale and retail store of Williams Bros., containing a stock of goods-valued at 15,000, was blown down and most ot the goods ruined. A phosphate plant was demol ished, and some hotses were kUed. At Gracy, the saw-mill plant of Gracy & McDonald, the largest .in this part of the State, is a complete wreck and thou sands of acres of timber lands are de-, stroyed. The heaviest losers are the turpentine manufacturers. These beard from re port a total loss and say that they will oe compelled to. go put of the business. All of the trees are down and it is im possible in many places to ride through the woods even on horseback. The loss to timber interests will reach 1500,000. The Cummer Wood and Timber Com pany will be the heaviest losers. It will cost the county several hundred dollars to clear the roads of trees. Callahan reports that barns; sheds, a number of dwellings and two churches are entirely torn to pieces. The Savan nah, Florida & Western Railway build ings were unroofed. . The box cars were blown from the side track and got on the main line and went two or three miles before stopping. As near as tan be estimated, the loss will amount to 2 500. ; , '. At McClenov, the Baptist church and one of ihe"iargest stores were blown flit upon the ground: the principal boarding house was unroofed; the county jiil suf fered the same fate; a number of small dwelling houses were razed. Others were blown from their foundations. Not a fence was left standing. ; At Zatnesville, a building erected by. D. E. Cooper for a mill, but which was full of furniture, was totally destroyed, and a warehouse was demolished. A negro church was turned over on its side, and four negroe huts were blown down. At Branford, the Presbyterian and Methodist churches were blown to the ground. The Drew Lumber Company's mill is a wreck. The roof was blown from Gilbert's mill, and about one third of the roofing wat blown from the Plant system depot. Many outhouses and negro dwellings were unroofed or blown down. The store of W. Will iams, "general merchandise, was badly wrecked. At Lake Butler, seventeen miles west of Starks, Odam Bros.' and . Thomas & Sons' stores were wrecked and the goods badly damaged. The Btptist Church and the court house was blown down McKinley's glnjhouie was blown down, and the cotton scattered. - Fort White caught the full force of the storm. Nearly every store and dwelling was more or less damaged. The Methodist, Baptist and Presbyterian churches were demolished. Tbey were valued at 11.250, $900 and $500 respec tively. The Plant system depot was un roofed. The losses to the merchants on their storks and buildings range from $200 to $1,200 each. High Springs claims that the air monster scorched through the town at the rate of 100 miles an hour. Trees and housss went down like cardboards, and only half a dozen houses are left to point out to the investigator a once prosperous town. Women had children blown out of their arms and men were knocked down like nine-pins. The freight depot, used as a refuge by many, was partly demolished, and refuge was sought in . box cats on the track. Among the casualties were the loss of the Higden Hotel, one of the largest buildings in the town. The new passenger Shed of the. Plant system was demolished. The building bad jast been completed and the new building tor the general office had ail the windows blown in and was flooded. About twenty smaller stores were partly wrecked. Part of ;the new Plant sys tem hospital was unroofed. How much damage was done at Cedar Keys has, not been learned at Savannah vet. It is not probable, however, that the storm proved more destructive there than at other points in the State. Other towns in Florida felt the force of the blow, but the damage done was trivial. None of the famous large hotels suf fered to an extent worth mentioning, and it Is believed here that the above story covers the path ot the blow in the State so fully that there is very little left untold.

A Popaltat Iieadcr Says He Hat TSo Chanoe cf Election and Will Come Off the Tatlonal Tiekst. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Atlanta, Ga., October 1. Thomas E., Watson, who is here to-night, de clined to discuss the report that he con templated retiring from the National Populist ticker. He seems to be sore on the managtrs of the national, campaign for allowing him to be traded' off in the fusion between the Populists and Demo crats in the several States. He has practically nothing in the States where there bas been fusion. The Populists have taken the local nominations and given the Democrats the electoral ticket or a majority of the electors. In a speech at Stone Mountain, Ga., to-day Mr. Watson defended his course in opposing fusion on the electoral ticket. He said that he, had refused fusion with the Republicans in Georgia and in Texas. His reason for so doing was that the Populist party was organ ized as a protest against the old parties, and fusion would be condoning their faults. "If we were to fuse with either of them, we would thereafter be esteppsd from attacking them and would have to admit that they were right." A Populist leader, who is close to Wation, sajs to-night that Watson has nothing to gain by running, as there is no possible chance to be elected, even if Bryan is elected, and therefore Watson will retire. , THE STORM: IN WASHINGTON Zjeft o FaUlity and Probably More In Its Wake.

Charles Coleman, colored, a waiter in Kelly's lunch room, has been missing since the storm. He was in the place a few minutes before the crash came and has not been since seen. As soon as the workmen learned that there were probably others in the ruins they worked with redoubled . energy. The police say that the theatres were out at the time the storm broke in its fury, and they believe that others who sought shelter In Kelly's or Beatty's saloons mav be entrenched in these great plies of debris.

For the oonduot of these eBqulres and pages, who are under the control of the "gentleman usher In waiting," the JUady Berkeley draws up full and minute directions. The laws for the whole household she has fully entered In the "yoeman's book," which she expects her gentlemen to observe "without any breach or contempt of them," but she thinks good to give them some special rules, that by their "obedience, well be havior tractabloness, " they may "procure the meaner sort of my servants In calling to amend their faults by their good exam ples." - When the yeomen of the chambers have done their work, the gentleman usher is . to go around, at 8 o'olock In winter and 7 o'clock In summer, . or "if strangers be there, then at more early hours," and see that all things in the dining and with drawing chambers are In fair order and "well set up, according to his lady's former directions set down." Xhe rooms are to be always ready for the entertainment of strangers; he is to see that the great fires of oak logs are burning brightly in winter and in summer; that "the chimneys are trimmed with-green boughs, and the win dows with herbs and sweet flowers, and the chamber strewed with green rushes." There are minute rules for the attendance of "the gentleman usher and the rest of my gentlemen when I shall walk any way ont of the park, as into the fields, or any of my ontward grounds. Further, when I do walk in the park, then I do license the gentlemen either to walk, bowl, shoot, or use any other pastime, where I walk In this order. If I do walk In the high walk, then they may be in the lower walk; if I do walk in the lower walk, then they may be In the upper. " When my lady walks in "the great garden," she gives gracious license to the gentlemen to be In another part of it, whether she has strangers with her or not. Longman's Magarine, The Key or the Bastilla. "Where la the key of the Bastille?" la a question asked of newspapers and answered about a hall dozen times eaoh year. The answer usually is that It Is the property of the Iiadias' Mount Vernon association, and that It la kept in a glass oase In tha old Washington mansion. Such answer wonld have been oorreot at one time. However, for many rears it has been the property of the Apprentices' library. Mew York city. It Is of gigantio size, being 6 Inches long, inohes across the top, or ring end, and 8 Inches across the-end that lipped Into the look. A look at the old relio Is sore to revive what one has read about the French revolution. St. Louis Bepubllov - Wife ( from the window) Well I declare, John, I wouldn't spend time sprinkling the dust in our neighbor's back yard, es pecially when they are people Who talk about us the way they do. Husband That's all right, my dear. Their pet poodle was washed this morning. Now he's out there roUing In the mud. Trust your husband, my sweet, for thonghtfnlneas. London Tit-Bits.
