Shortly after noon to-day the frame of the Odd Fellows building was blown down,the loss amounting to $1 ,G00 and is a total one. There is no damage to ship ping in the harbor. Heavy seas are rolling outside. The wind is still blowing hard to night, and is veering to the westward. Raleigh, Oct. 9. The storm is much worse to-night than the last storm was. lorrents ot rain are iamrjg. ine wind i3 high. The damage to cotton i3 severe. Dy Southern Presa.j Washington. Oct. 9. Commodore Matthews, chief of the navy yards and docks, received a telegram this afternoon from Capt. C. II. Rockwell, command ing the naval station at Pert Royal, S. C. that a heavy cyclone was bio wine: there, the center being apparently to the westward. A heavy tide was expected to-night, but precautions had been taken which would probably prevent much damage to naval property. . Charleston, Oct. 9. The cyclone crave Charleston the go-by. There was a heavy sea and heavy rains, but no damage was done in the city. The velocity of the wind was only thirty-five miles an hour and no damage has so far been reported on sea or shore. It i3 reported that tne cotton crop in the in terior was damaged but will m no place prove serious. Savannah. Oct. 9. The centre of the gulf storm passed west of Savannah this forenoon, moving northeast. JNo dam was done here. At Tybee the wind reached a velocity of seventy miles . an hour for a short time. All shipping was made secure and suffered no injury. Pensacola, Fia., Oct. 9. The tropical hurricane that had been central in the gulf for several days, struck this city Sunday night, The wind blew from the northeast and was accompanied by rain. The hurricane increased in fury as morn ing approached, and all day yesterday it raged with terrible force. Falling signs and roofs made it dangerous to appear on the streets, and business was prac tically suspended. The average velocity of the wind from 7 o'clock a. m. to 7 p. m. was forty-eight miles. Between 2 o'clock and 3 p. m. it blew steadily at the rate of sixty-eight miles an hour and several times between 11 a. m. and 4 p. m. it reached a velocity of eighty-five miles. At 2 o'clock p. m. the barometer fell to 29.28, the lowest ever recorded at this station, being .19 lower than kuring the great storm of last October. The centre of the hurrican was not a great distance southeast of this city, but every telegraph wire leading from the city went down before 11 o'clock a. m. and nothing could be heard from other ports. Owing to the wind blowing off shore and the warning given by the weather bureau, the damage to shipping was small. The British bark Scammell, newly loaded with timber, dragged her anchor over four miles across the bay and went ashore in seventeen feet of water at a point opposite the life saving station. She will have to discharge a part of her cargo. The Swedish bark Antonette, not loaded, dragged her anchrr half way down the bay and was only saved from capsizing by cutting awav her foremast. The little schooner Two Se ns of New Orleans, had her masts cut away to keep from capsizing. Abe fishing smack, Mary Potter, dragged her anchors from Town Point and went ashore on Santa I Rosa island east of the life saving station, where she lies high and dry. The ude rose over the quarantine station and damaged the crib. The tide was so high that it broke clear over Santa Rosa island and the life saving crew were in water up to their waists. One house was blown down at the station, the wharf was swept away and the supply sloop was swamped and sunk. The track ot the dummy line, from Bis: Bavou to the Navy yard is twisted out of 6hape, and in some places is buried two feet under sand, lhe city . 5 T i. 73 13 mUCll damageu. rentes, ireeo, auu small outhouses were blown down in every part of the city. A part of the roof was torn off the opera house. The entire roof was torn off the large Blount tfc Watson building on Pacific street and all the stores and offices in it were flooded with water. The Union Baptist church (colored) was blown down and completely wrecked. So far as learned no one was injured. The storm ceased at midnight and the , weather is bright and much cooler to-day. Scraston, Miss., Oct. 9. This morn ing the tugs Leo, Eva and Fox went to Home Island, but could not make a landing. Yesterday at 4 I o'clock p.m. the Norwegian bark Tristad cut away her mast, then fired signals for help. The barks Ordovice and Taria Popan are stranded and leaking badly and it is be lieved that all three will have to be abandoned. The French bark Suzanne Boulet weathered the storm in safety. Fortunately there was no loss of life. New Orleans, Oct. 9. A telegram has been received from Port Eads to the effect that the orange crop in the vicinity was damaged one-third by the storm. The wind at Port Eads had attained a velocity of eighty-four miles an hour when the gauge broke. The rice fields were covered with water to the depth of four feet, but as the crop had been har vested, very little damage resulted from the overflow. NEW YORK BOLTERS. Ereretti P. Wheeler Nominated Tor Governor and Lock wood and has. F. Brown Kndorsed fairchild Chairman of Campaign Committee. New York, Oct. 9. The third ticket party at a meeting held this afternoon j at the offices of E. M. Shepard, decided to nominate the following ticket: For Governor, Everett P. Wheeler, of New York city; for . Lieutenant Governor, Danl. M. Lockwood of Buffalo; for Judge of I the Court of Appsalv Charles F. Brown of Orange county, N. Y. Wheeler has announced his acceptance of the nomination, j Mr. Shepard said that Messrs. Brown and Lockwood would also accept the nominations. Promptly at 3 o clock the halls of the Trinity buildintr becran to fill up with Democrats prominent in opposition to the regular ticket. Mr. Shepard had given it out early in the day that in his private offices in the TriDity building,the committee of nine, representing the re form element of the Brooklyn Demo cracy, would confer with other Demo crats from up the State and elect a third ticket. It was thought until the very last that ex-Secretary Charles S. Fairchild would be nominated for the first place on the ticket, as he was the choice of the ma jority of the reformers, but it was ap parent after the conference had been in session some time that Mr. Fairchild was not anxious to accept the leadership. The doors were closed and for two hours the reformeis discussd the situa tion. It was long after 5 o'clock before Mr. Shepard invited the members of the press into his offiee and gave out the selections that had been made. Mr. Shepard said a detailed statement of "the proceedings of the conference would be given out at 8:30 o'clock in the evening; together with the platform. Shepard made the announcement that Charles S. Fairchild would be the chair man of the campaign committee, and had agreed to serve. The committee would be composed in part of the following named gentlemen, all of whom were i at the conference: Franklin ID. Lock of Buffalo, Edward M. Shepard of Brooklyn, Henry A. Richmond of Buf falo, Seymour Van Sant Voord of Troy, Michael E. O'Connor of Brooklyn, Robe. A.: Wiedeman of Rockkpid county, Thomas G. Shearman of Brooklyn, Jdhn A.! Beai of New York, John Brooks Leavitt of New York, D. B. Ramsey, of Brooklyn, and A. R. James of Buffalo. Shepard said that thosa named consti tuted only about half of the committee, which would be completed later and after he had communicated with gentle men who were with the reformers heart and soul, and who, he had no doubt, would serve on the committee. Shepard was asked why Fairchild had refused the nomination at the head of the ticket and said: -'Well, Mr. Fair child is the leader of the State Democracy and if he accepted the nom- ination it would entail upon him the necessity of giving up the leadership. But he has accepted the chairmanship of the campaign committee and will be in this fight heart and soul." A Runaway Train Dawn Saluda Gap. Asheville, N. C, Oct. 9. The souths bound freight on the Asheville and Spkrtanburg road ran away down a heavy grade on the Saluda mountain about 5 o'clock this morning.'' The crew remained on the flying train, which ran to the bottom of the grade, four miles, and then left the track, the engine and twelve cars piling up in a deep cut. The latest reports say the engineer, Broom, and a colored train hand have not been found. Fireman York was seen buried underneath the wreck, and it is thought, dead. Conductor Patton had his leg and hip badly crushed. The first train from the wreck on the Saluda mountain came in to-day bring ing the body of Neal Ewing, an Ashe ville stone cutter, who wa3 stealing a ride South. It is now believed that three of the crew were killed, although the bodies of Engineer Broom and Brakeman Allen have not yet btea found. Fireman York's body was found, but the wreck ing crew have not ben able to reach it yet. Conductor Patton had a leg crushed and his skull slightly fractured, llis leg was amputated and there are chances for his recovery. John Miller, a colored brakeman jumped and. was only slightly injured. Others of the crew stood to their post to the laat. Daniel Owens, a stock man, was in the caboose,' but was unhurt. He had a car load of rattle in the train and every' one : was killed. Flagman Painter escaped with out a scratch, though he was on top of a car when the wreck occurred. It is re-i ported to-night that two boys, friends of Ewing, were beating a ride with him and were killed, but this cannot! be verified. The grade where the train ran away is four miles long and averages 100 feet to the mile. The run away began half a mile from the top. i A Customs War With Germany. Berlin, Oct. 9. The Fresinninge Zeitung of this city says: We are drift ing into a customs war with Americai. If the German agrarians succeed in getting Chancellor von Caprivi on' their side and the United States refuse to modify the sugar tariff, reprisals by Germany will mean an increase of the grain duty from 05:to30 marks. Counter . reprisals by the United States will follow, which will damage German commerce ten times more than did the Russian tariff war.

Oct. 9. The Manchester j Guardian publishes a despatch from its St. Petersburg correspondent, sayiDg that Russia sent a note to Japan in Sep. tember, claiming i an interest in the future government of Corea. Japan's reply was unfriendly to" Russia's pro posal. Russia's position in Eastern Si beria does not now render that territory safe in a conflict with Japan, but large reinforcements of troops are proceeding to the military stations along the Amoor and Usuri roads, i London, Oct. 9. The St. James Ga zette prints a despatch from Chemulpo, dated October 3rd,! saying that fourteen Japanese transports are in the harbor, having on board 7,800 troops, and that T5G coolies had been landed since Sep tember 27th, owing to fears of an upris ing of insurgent tribesmen, and the gar risQn at Seoul had been reinforced by 4 ,000 men. The Japanese pay for every thing they get from the Coreans. The daily expense of the Japanese for main taining the army in Corea is 00,000. A despatch received here from Shang hai says that a second Japanese army is reported to have crossed the Yalu river and to be advancing upon Moukden, which it is believed will soon fall, as the Chinese are reported to be in a condition of demoralization, j The Westminster Gazette publishes a despatch from Yokohama which .says it is reported that the Japanese have cap tured Che Foo. The Government, how ever, has received no information con firming this report. I A despatch from i Hong Kong says the Min river at Foo Chow has been closed to shipping.

Among her officers is the Duke of Abruzzi, nephew of King Hum bert. 1 London, Oct. 9. It is reported that reinforcements of; marines for the British squadron in Chinese waters will go to their destination by way of the Ca nadian Pacific railway, and that is con sidered the quickest route. A Central News correspondent in Shanghai says that a steamer loaded with coal for the British warship3 at Che Foo was stopped the other day by a Jap anese cruiser, but was subsequently al lowed to proceed, i The British and German clubs in Tien Tsin have adopted j concerted measures for the defence of the European residents.

To-day's featurers: Prices bobbed up and down as if in a game of tennis. They advanced on account of frost re ports from the South, then declined partly, owing to despatches stating that the forest had done no damage. It is contended that fight frosts would be bene ficial, destroying rank growth and open- j ing the bolls. The South sold consider able cotton and there was quite a little local liquidation on the rise early in the day. The tone was quite nervous and prices were easily affected by bullish or bearish news and rumors. The crop movement was larger to day than the; two big crop yearsj of 1CK) and 1891. The New England news was more favor-,' able. Print cloths I were firm. There w a3 less activity in Liverpool, and man Chester; was depressed.

Shipments 1 at this season are unusual. The in fluences at work in the Sterling exchange market are the low prices for cotton, grains, etc., the inability to lend money at anything like paying rates, maturing Sterling loans, and efforts on the part of a certain exchange house to cover biiU sold some time ago in anticipation of heavy export movement of cotton and grain.

There was also a con troversy touching the Pacific coast stocks as well as those of Europe. Brad- street's figures, it was contented, did not show; as fully as they should, the official figures being far in excess, lhe same sort of difference obtained regarding the supply in Europe. The "tip" on the Government report was to the effect that an improvement would be given which would mean a yield of 50,000,000 bushels greater than previously announced. With the3e items and some of yester day's weakness carried over, there was a downward inclination to prices until near the close, when holders of puts bought to make good their profits, a moderate recovery taking place.

Provisions The 'start and early trad ing in product did not present any par ticular change in prices from " those which marked the close yesterday. Later, however, the selling becamejmore free, the weakness and depression in grain extending to provisions.

While car penters were at work repairing the tim ber in the Lake Fiddler shaft lat night a miner's lamp on the head of Irvin Ruf fington ignited the wood and a fierce fire ensued. The carpenters gave an alarm and seventy miners commenced a race for life as the mine was filling with smoke. Through a shaft now in course of constructing they were hoisted to the surface, a great crowd cheering as the men reached the mouth of the pit. Dur ing the rescue the flames came up tin air course and burned the fan house and the fire department was called into ser vice. Superintendent Morris Williams and Mine Inspector Edward Brennan hero ically entered the burning mine to seek for lost or exhausted men. At 5 o'clock this morning Irjin Buffington was found dead. It is known for a certainty that four others are still in the mine. Heroic efforts are being made to reach them, without, however, much hope of success. It is the fiercest mine fire known in the region. 1 ii SSSSS-SBSS- A Light Frost. Memphis, Oct. 9. A light frost is re reported in West Tennessee, North Mississippi and Eastern Arkansas last night.
