The old Hotel Oceanle had not been
used strictly for hotel purposes in sev
eral years and during the past two
seasons, CapL Harper had refused to
rent it as a hotel but merely as a pa
vilion for the entertainment of excur
sionists, with a reaturant attached. It
was fortunate that It was not used as
a hotel, else the consequences of last
night's storm might have been more
terrible. Oapt. Harper and every per
son connected with his boat or Inter
ests on the beach did all In their power
for the suffering ones yesterday.
Mews Reached the City.
The first intelligence the city had of
the catastrophe at the beach was
through Robert Freeman, colored,
who was sent for Dr. Andrew EL
Harriss by Capt Furplesf, and
from whom the Stab received
its information at 4:30 o'clock.
Capt. John W. Harper, of the steamer
Wilmington, was also notified, but In
the excitement Freeman only ac
quainted Dr. Harriss and Oapt. Harper
of the fact that one patient needed at
tention. Capt. Harper, with Dr. Har
riss, made record breaking time on the
steamer Wilmington to the oeacn,
leaving the city at 5:15 A. M, and all
hands with the sympathetic surgeon
went to work to relieve the suffering.
Though alone, Dr. Harriss accomplish
ed wonders In administering to the
wants of the wounded, and improvised
cols and stretchers were made and alH
placed on a flat car, which reached
the pier safely. The wounaea
ones were placed on the steamer and
at 8 o'clock all the sufferers were
placed in vehicles and taken to the
hospital and later to their Nhomes. At
the hospital Dr. Harriss was assisted
in his work by Dr. Pride J. Thomas,
and Dr. W. D. McMillan. The need
of a hospital ambulance was strongly
evidenced, but Dr. Harriss, Oapt. Har
per and Mr. Ed. Manning made the
best of things and secured the best
rehlcles In sight As before stated all
the sufferers were doing well at last
accounts last night
Qaeer Praaks of the Wlad.
Mrs. Louis Freimutb, of Wilming
ton, was a guest at -the hotel at the
time but had just stepped out to a tele
phone to talk with her husband In the
city. Her little five-year-old son was
asleep on the second floor but escaped
without a bruise. When the debris
was being removed, it Is said the little
fellow was found, under it all, quietly
asleep on the sand as If nothing had
ever happened. -
The kitchen of the hotel building
was left Intact and scarcely jarred
from Ita foundation. The mirror In a
bureau that was smashed all to pieces
was found yesterday In the ruins with
out so much as a crack. .
Mr. J. 8. Thompson, of Hasty,
a, accompanied bthla litUo daughter
and two little sons, were disappointed
the afternoon before the storm that
they could not find a place in the hotel.
They went over to the Kure Houser
some distance away, and were safe
throughout the wind.
Sform at Other Places.
Mr. W. H. Biddlt, of Masonboro
township, who was in the city yester
day, reported a severe blow in that
territory about the aame hour as the
Carolina Beach storm. It lasted but
for fire minutes, but incalculable
da&age was done to corn, trees were
uprooted, fences blown down and
other damage wrought. -The roar of
the cyelone could be heard for some
time as it approached. It moved in a
path covering nearly two miles.
The first news of a terrific wind
storm, cyclonic in Its proportions,
which passed over. Carolina Beach
early Wednesday night, carrying de
struction in its path, was printed in
these columns yesterday morning, but
as the wires were down and travel
across country was extremely difficult
by reason of hundreds of trees and
debris piled up on the roads, nothing
like particulars could be attempted.
The most serious loss and injury by
the storm was in the wreck of the
old Hotel Oceanic, a large two-story
wooden structure, owned by the New
Hanover Transit Oo., and oonducted
this season by Mrs. Rebecca Eilers,
of Wilmington.! The storm appeared
to have singled out this building from
all the rest on the beach and its walls
came down with a crash, burying in
their ruins sixteen occupants, all of
whom were more or less Injured and
one perhaps fatally, except three
small children, over whom Providence
seemed to have exercised a special
care.
The storm came on from the south
west and appeared to strike the hotel
in the nature of a whirlwind, blowing
the middle part of the building toward
the sea.
Eight of the occupants of the house
were engaged in dancing at the time
in the dining room of the hotel and
were taken completely unawares. The
only one to escape was Mr. Sebastian
Winner, who was picking a guitar for
the dancers. He was near the aoor
and got on the outside before the crash
came, but his Instrument was smashed
Into smithereens. He received only
a slight injury on the leg and joined
bravely in the rescue of the Injured as
soon as he could collect his thoughts.
The work was extremely difficult and
was done only by the flashes of inces
sant lightning that accompanied the
storm. Mr. Marlon Winner, father of
Sebastian Winner, was the first to
reach the scene, but very soon after
wards he was joined by- Captain
Thomas MeGee, Mr. Robert 8. Col
lins, who is spending some time
with his family at the beach;
Mr. Hans A. Kure, Captain Furpless.
Oapt. J. O. Smith, Mr. Henry Bolter,
Mr. J. 8. Thompson, of Hasty, who was
stopping at the Kure House across the
sound; Miss Furpless, daughter of
Captain Furpless, and Mose and John
Evans, two colored men employed by
CapL J. W. Harper. Two small rail
road jacks for hoisting purposes, two
saws, two axes and a pinch bar were
the implements used, and heroically
did each man work. All the injured
ones except Mr. Hampton Smith, who
is most seriously injured, were taken
from the ruins by 10 o'clock. Young
Smith, who is a son of Capt. J. C.
Smith, the well known steamboat man,
was not rescued until two hours later
and it was then by a heroic effort on
the part of Oapt. Tom MeGee. He is
said to have lifted almost the entire
roof of the building. Out of the first
hole that was cut six people came out,
badly frightened and badly injured.
Young Smith, when taken out, was so
badly injured that he cried pitiably for
some one to kill him. He haa conoust
sion of the brain and will not be ou
of danger for some time. At the hos
pital last night, Dr. Pride J. Thomas
said he was doing nicely, as were the
two other patients remaining there,
Mr. J. E. Haywood, of McOolJ, 8. O.,
and Mr. J. IL Rumley, of Beaufort,
N. C The other injured persons, who
were later taken to their homes, were
also doing well from all that could.be
learned.
The injured and the extent of their
wounds as given by the attending
physicians yesterday are as follows:
Hampton Smith, laceration of scalp
and face, several -contusions of the left
shoulder, chest and back and a very
severe contusion and laceration of the
entire left leg. He was also suffering
yesterday from concussion of the
brain. Young Mr. Smith was in the
wreck for three hours, pinioned be
tween a partition, floor and roof, with
his left leg jammed between a girder
and a water cooler.
Mrs. .Rebecca Ellerv, proprietor of
the bote), laceration of the scalp, con
tusion of the left shoulder, back and
ankle.
. Miss Nettie Eilerr, daughter of Mrs.
Eilers, broken ankle and nose,. and
Buffering severely from the shock. '
The residence of Mr. Owen Martin
dale, four miles from the city, in Ma
sonboro township, was badly.used by
the wind. A chimney was blown
down; doors and shutters torn off and
the plastering in several rooms twisted
about. In the neighborhood the roads
were Impassible. It was Mr. Martin
dale's wife who was injured . In the
fall of the hotel at the beach.
The only other damage at Carolina
Beach besides the hotel was the blow-
ing down of a part of the kitchen of
Mr. W. L. Smith's cottage near the
hotel. -
; The storm was very severe In por
tions of Brunswick county opposite
Carolina Beach, but at Wrlghtsville
the wind did not reach the proportions
of a storm and not the slightest . dam
age was sustained.
In this . connection It may be inter
erestmg to ; know that ' severe wind
storms passed oyer- Durham, 'High
Point, Btatesvllle, Aaheboro and Win-,
ston on the afternoon of the same day
the gale struck this section at nfeht
Smoke stacks of Industrial plants were
relied ; in one or two instances factories
were, unroofed and church ateeplea
badly damaged. O. L, Kinney, a
white man of Richmond county, was
killed instantly by a stroke of light
ning as he stood in the office ef the
Olerk of the Court in Rockingham.
Mr. Kinney was seated near a tele,
phone when the accident occurred.
During the electric storm Wednes
day night at Florence, Maurice Gregg,
a negro employed at an ice house
grasped an incandescent electric light
tor the purpose of turning it on,, and
his death followed almost immediate
ly. Two negroes were killed by light
ning at Mayeaville, S. C, the same
afternoon. At Charlotte ltehtnine
struck a merry-go-round at Latta Park.
instantly killed one negro and seriously
Injured two others.
REMARKABLE CATCH OF PISH.
Party from Wilmlagtoo Hsd Pise Sport
st "The Rocks" Yesterday.
It seems impossible, but coming
from the well known "piscatorialists"
that it does, we'll accept the story as
the truth, the proverbial regard of the"
average fishermen for veracity to the
contrary notwithstanding.
Yesterday morning Messrs. W. Van
Hardin, Louis H. Skinner, B. F. King,
T. W. Wood and T. 8. McManus were
at the club house of the Fort Fisher
Rod and Gun Olubat the "Bocks,''
having spent the night there. Begin
ning promptly at 8:30 o'clock, armed
with rod and line, they indulged in
two hours' sport at the old "Modern
Greece" wreck, and in that short space
of time caught 150 fine sheep head and
50 trout and pig fish, weighing in all
about 650 pounds. They say the fish
ing was never finer at the "Roeks."
The party was in the new club
house during the storm Wednesday
night and say the staunch little struc
ture met the wind without a quiver.

was on its way to Brooklyn. The
mule was knocked down and slightly
bruised, while the negro escaped by

TO HAVE NEW HOME.
Chamber of Commerce Will Re
move to Princess Street
Location Oct. 1st.
THE MEETING YESTERDAY.
Decision to Move Reached on Report of
the Executive Committee Some
thing of the New Quarters
Iscressed Fscllltles.
The only business of interest trans
acted at yesterday afternoon's regular
monthly meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce, held in the Exchange
rooms, on Water street, at 3:30 P. M..
was the decision to remove the present
headquarters of the institution to the
building now occupied by the Southern
Express Co., on Princess street The
transfer will take place about Oct. 1st
when the Express Company will re
move to its new quarters on Chesnut
street in the rear of the new Murchi-
son National Bank building.
The removal to new and more con
venient quarters for both up-town and
wharf merchants has been' contem
plated by the Chamber ever since the
Produce Exchange and Chamber of
Commerce were consolidated several
months ago. At a recent meeting of
the Executive Committee, Mr. L. B.
Rogers was appointed chairman of a
special committee to look for better
quarters and the mission of that com
mittee was accomplished in" short or
der; a report made back to the Exec
utive, and the whole matter brought
to the attention of a general meeting
of the Chamber yesterday ,with the
result stated.
The new quarters for the Chamber
will be overhauled and placed in ex
actly the condition desired by that
