TKHUIU1.V AF-FL.ICTKD tin Oll l'roiu tlic ctutalde World The Lohh lu Charleston and ea-vannali-Hulllvan's IslandAbont It ii I tied Personal HxperlenccN Ai'dt STA, Gil., Aujj. Ot). News was re ceived direct from I'ort Royal, S. C, last nilit that a hundred lives were lost in the cyclone that burst upon that town at the rate c f 100 miles per hour Mon day, followed by a tidal wave that al most swept the town away. The infor mation is reliable. It is furnished by 1;. M. Avcrill, yeucral freight, and passenger agent of the Charleston, Sumter and Northern railroad, who arrived here from Port Royal last night. Avcrill says I'ort Kuyal is completely cut off from the outside world. All tele graphic wires are down and the railroad is washed away. Avcrill was unable to State the exact number of lives lost, but without overestimating says be is cer tain it will number over 100 unfortu nates, killed and drowned. He himself saw 32 dead bodies. Nearly all the drowned were negroes so far as re ported. When Avcrill came away only six white persons had lost their lives. Over on Sullivan's Island, a pleasure resort near Charleston, the ruin w as well nigh complete. liy midnight Sunday the gale was blowing 7o miles an hour and the furious waves co jipletely submerged the Island. The water last night was seven feet deep on the Maud. Three lives were lost here: Mrs. 1-. Pollard, Andrew Bryan and Sylvia Bryan, all white. A great many islanders sought refuge from the pitiless winds and rising waters in Port Moultrie. AT CHAULICsTON The Paniaitc Will Keneli u Mil lion Dollars. The telegraph wires having gone out ol commission largely Monday and Tues day The Citizkn makes up part ol its story of the storm from contemporaries that have come to hand in the mails. The Chailcston News and Courier speaks of that city as "almost in ruins"; but this is probably an exaggeration. At least, the total loss is given in the News and Courier's editorial columns as a million of dollars, and Charleston "almost iu ruins" could not be repaired for any million dollars the world ever saw. Here is an account of tlic condition ol the city from Tuesday's uauer: The sight that met their gaze was strikingly familiar. A city almost in ruins; tlic streets ami thoroughfares strewn with the debt is from the roots of store and dwelling; the roadwavs blocked tip by hundreds of giant trees uprooted from the earth: the sidewalks strewn with crumbling brick and mor tar; the courts and alleys and by-paths under water; a magnificent water front, with its costly docks, where the 11 net of a continent could be berthed, piled with wreckage; some of its churches unrooted. and almost every residence in the cilv more or less injured. Water and wind had played havoc in the old City by the t'ca. Charleston's beautiful Battoiv ore- sented a scene of desolation Monday : 'i-1 . . i :ii ji , .- me,, mm:, me ii-inuic noou oi waters which had dashed their angry waves over the ramparts tlirounhout the rire- ccding night had done their work if Icetuully, and the receding torrent when it swept back to the sea, carried with it the glory of the handsomest water front that ever graced a city. It is, of course, impossible at this time to make anything like an accurate esti mate of the losses caused bv vesterdav's cyclone. According to the most avail able sources ol intormatiou the following figures may be taken us approximately correct : City property ifloo.noo Fertilizer works 17:1. r,oo Charleston Mining ecmpanv r,o,ooo Knllronds Bci.dno Telephone exchange Tiieefraph companies ;t(i,iiiiu bead works 1 L'.doo Wharves i.'5o,o o Shipping r.1.,000 Ashley river bridge ',OiM Churches r,o,ono Private property Joo.i(M Miscellaneous... 100, woo Total. 1,111 r.uo AY SAVANNtll. ij;'.'iit of Hie Dauiatce Tin re f p to Monday, i M, Monday evening's Savannah Press has the following : This morning Savannah is storms wept. The beautilul city is dismantled. Shade trees are strewn along the streets, and the beautiful parks have been stripped of green foliage. Pools of tin peeled oil like paper strips, and houses have been blown down iu every dim-lion. Along the bav the damage to warerooms is fully $N0,O0O. Sturdy brigs have been blown into the marshes, and the wrecks down the lower Hay arc numerous. Ty bce is under water, and ominous reports of flood and loss come up from quaran tine. Rice and truck arc ruined. At Thunderbolt, Isle of Hope, and among the suburban settlements the wind's work has been wild. The storm seems to equal the gale of 1881. So far a score of lives are reported lost, and the damage in Chatam, city and county, will be nearly a million dollars. sofa had floated to the centre of the room and was found bottom upward.

TUe Hurricane That Ashtvllic Hail IIuicllv a Tus'.c Of. At Charlotte, says the Observer, the storm burst in its wild fury about mid night or a little after, and continued from that time with 110 abatement whatever, but rather increasing power. The trees lashed each other as do the waves during a great storm. Limbs cracked and fell; fences were prostrated; mighty trees uprooted; roofs blown off; ehmiuevs blown down; telegraph pules and wires for miles laid low, ami the streets from one end to the other strewn with limbs ami fragments of limbs. The city looked like a tornado bad swept over it. Sleep was impossible. Numbers of the inhabitants rose, terrified, and dressed. Morning's dawn brought 110 lull. Nature was still tenipcst-tosscd. I! could not reach their stores; clerks failed to show up; the streets were deserted, and brave was the man who ventured forth. Terrific Wind. Rook Hill. S. C, Aug. 28. Commenc ing at 7 o'clock Sunday evening, our city was for IS hours drenched with an un ceasing rain, followed by a terrific wind storm, doing much damage to the roof of the Rock Hill Cotton factorv and flooding the machine shops with water. Trees and fences were blown in every direction across the streets. A Warehouse Illuwii iiowm. Oxford, Aug. 2S. High wind and rain prevailed here all day. At5::!0 the large centre brick warehouse become a victim to tlic wind and is a complete wreck. The proprietors, Messrs. W. IC. Thomas and R. C. Jones, had left the building only a short time before it went down and kit a colored man to lock up. He reached the middle of the floor when he saw the wallsgivc wavand in an instant a large beam crushed him to the floor, but with one arm he managed to extract himself and crawled out' with a few bi itiscs on one arm ami side. Lake wiles Gone. Davidson-, Aug. 2S The heaviest tain and wind storm that has occurred here in years lias been raging since 10 o'clock last night. The rain has been pouring and the wind blowing a regular gale all the time. Several trees have been blown down. One fell against the corner of W. H. Barnes' house, smashing in the corner of the roi-f on the porch and knocking off the top of the chimney. Lake Wiley passed off about 11 o'clock this morning. A break occurred about the centre of the dam and washed out a great portion of it. Charlotte Observer, Tlie Htorin at Canton, Canton, N. C, Aug. 28. Today h-avy rain has continued throughout tlic day, and severe winds have laid the corn, cane and some of the tobacco crops Hut on the ground. Scarcely any corn or cane is lelt standing, auil farmers report it so from all adjacent territory.

Washington, D. C.. Au. 30. Iu the Senate today, after routine- morning business, the bill for the icjcal of the Slicrnim act was taken up, and Mr. Sherman proceeded to adilrcss the Sen ate, lie said that if tb - repeal of the puichasing clauses of the ict of Inly, lcSOO, were the only reason lor thcextra ordinary session, it would seem to him insiillicient. It was, however, justified by the existing financial stringency. On one thing, he said. Congress and the people were agreed, and that was that both gold and silver should be continued in use as money. Monometallism, pure and simple, had never gained a foothold in the the United States. 1 f the Senators wanted cheap money and an advance in prices the hec coinage of silver was the way to do it, but they should not call it bimetallism. The House has resumed consideration ot the new rules. General debate will close at 2 o'clock. A t'HICAUO JI I. Tlie Police c;ettluK Ready To Use jatlluje uuiis. Ciiicaoo; 111., Aug. 30.

All of the Car olina representatives were there and voted, except Mr. Shell, p;iired with Mr. Graham, of New York. All ot the North Carolina Democrats voted lor the five ratios and the Bland-Allison amendment. Mr. liuun alone voted for the repeal ot the Sherman law. Ivlr. Settle voted against the ratios and the Iiland amend ment, but for the repeat bill. Of the South Carolinians, Mr. llrawley voted against the ratios and the amendment and for the bill. All the others voted for the 10 to 1 ratio and against the other ratios. They voted tor the Bland amendment and against the bill. Mur ray, colored, voted for all the ratios, lor the Bland .amendment and against the bill. It now looks as if the Sherman law re peal bill would pass the Senate. Senator Vance will not leave here to morrow, as he announced in the Senate last week, but will remain until the silver question is disposed of. Senator Vance presented today two Alliance petitions against the uncondi tional repeal of the Sherman law and in la vor ol tree coinage.

After these had been disposed of -without debate Gladstone rose mid a storm ol cheers to speak. OJW WALL TIL1CT.
