NEWS FROM THE STORM THE STORM CENTBE PASSED ! TO THE NORTH. Bfchmond and NorfolK GiTenaToncli Breakwater at Fort . Monroe r Washed Away Little Damage at Savannah Crops Dam ajred Jacksonville Cat Off From Southern -i Florida Reports I Meagre. W ashijjgton, Sept. 27. 1 p. M. The weather bureau has issued the following special bulletin regarding the West India hurricane: The tropical hurricane announced in the weather bureau bulletin of Wednes day as southeast of Jacksonville has moved slowly north-northeast to "the north of Charleston, which station was within the nearly calm centre at 8 o'clock a. m., to-day, with a pressure of 29.80 and a wind of thirty-two miles, ' south. Later reports show that the pressure has risen 6-100 in three hours at Charleston and fallen the same amount at Norfolk, which indicates a very slow movement to the north-northeast.' The present in dications are that' the storm will continue td move slowly until midnight, probably diminishing in intensity. Dangerous gales will be experienced on the South and Middle Atlantic and South New England coasts and moderately high winds in the interior of the Atlantic coast states. Savannah, Ga., Sept. 27. The storm has blown over and very little damage was done. A few houses were unroofed and trees blown down," with no injury to quarantine. Probably a few, miles of,, railroad were washed up near Tybee, No fears are felt for Baltimore-or New York ships due to-night or to-morrow, as the wind veered at the lastJmoment. No reports of loss of life bavroeen received from the Sea islands, although-crops were damaged. Norfolk, Va., -Sept. 27 The weather bureau at noon here to day states that, owing to an area of high pressure to the northeast of Hatteras, the stofm centre will be forced to the west of Norfolk; that the mountain range will head it off and start it on a more direct course for the New England coast; that it will pass just east. ofWashington and over New York. At 12 o'clock m. here the wind wasjMxtj two miles from the east and increasing. At Cape Henry, at 8 o'clock aK m. , the. wind was blowing thirty-eight miles from the northeast with a heavy sea. Coast wires have been down since 8 o'clock a. m. . Washington, Sept. 27. Commodore Matthews, chief of the bureau -of yards and docks, to-day received a telegram from the superintendent of the Port Royal,.S..C., new dry dock, stating that the dock remained uninjured and that the severest part of the storm had passed off to the eastward without touching Port Royal. ; This indicates that the Sea islands, where such havoc' was wrought by the storm last year, probably have es caped this time. Charleston, S.C., Sept. 27. A ppecial to the News and Courier from various points in the middle and coast region re garding the West India cyclone report considerable damage toorn and cotton, very serious damage to rice, but no loss of life. r At Georgetown the damage to the rice crop is very great and it is difficult yet to estimate the less, though many put it at 33 per cent. A large portion of April planting, either in stubble, or stacked in the fields, floated off with the tide, and June rice is, no doubt, badly injured, for the water was salt for some distance up the rivers. . ' . Ft. Monroe, Va., Sept. 27. The storm is very severe here. It carried away a part of the breakwater and walk in front of the Hygeia. Baltimore, JId., Sept. 27. The ad vence guard of the West India cyclone made it necessary to postpone the iraces at the Gentlemen's Driving park to-day. Jacksonville, Fla., Sept. 27. Storm news ' is very meagre. Jacksonville is still cut off from communication with South Florida, and since Tuesday not a word has been received from East Coast points where the storm is supposed to have been most severe. AH the wires leading to the South are down and no trains from that section have come in since Tuesday. Nothing has been heard from St. Augustine since Tuesday and there are rumors that the ancient city has suffered greatly. The . railroad ; and Western Union officials are repairing the damage to their lines, and communica tion with the South will probably be opened up by to-morrow. Then reports as to damage done by the hurricane can be expected. It is certain that the orange crop has been greatly injured, but it is hoped no lives have been lost. In Jacksonville the damage, which amounts to about $75,000, is being rapidly repaired. The wreck of the new Union depot in process of construction was the most serious loss, t Richmond. Va.. Sept. 27 No damage from the storm has been reported in this immediate section.

About 1,000 people witnessed the races at the Colum bus Driving park. The track was fast but too hard.

He Challenges Him For a Fight to the Finish The Article Already Signed oy the Challenger. ? New Orleans, Sept 27. Middle Weight Champion Fitzslmmons this morning mailed the following letter to Corbett: , "Mr. James J. Corbett, Champion of the World: "Dear Sir: At every opportunity when my name" has been used in con nection with a battle with you for the world's championship you have en deavored, to, belittle my claim for a fight on the grounds, as you put it, that I am not in your class, pr that you have not seen the cpldr of my money. "I am very well aware of ;the fact, that,, although I have - earned more money than you at fighting, since I have become . middle-weight champion, you can buy and sell me- financially, no doubt, your . faculty of saving being better than mine. Therefore I hope that a f 10,000 side bet will not stand aa a uaxrier ggtunsb Bwunog a umu;u wiuu you. -; .. v.vy,--- - - - "The. amount of money that I shall put up has decided many a champion- hip contest in the past, and I hope you will not refuse. When you sigh for a f35,000 purse, such as is offered by the Olympic club at the present timei you will hnd my name attached without asking for the loser's end. "In order to show my sincerity to the public at large I will make you two prop ositions: . " 'First-That we engage the. largest hall in New York city and give a boxing exhibition, four rounds, scientific points only, tor the beneht of the poor or New York City. I will give you any pledge that you may demand tba-t I will not attempt to knock you out. In case com petent judges decide that I am not in your class, so far as skill and science are concerned, I will never ask for a match with you again. . , - "Second 1 ask to be allowed to for mally challenge you to give me a chance to meet you to a finish to decide the world s championship, according to Marquis of Queensbury rules. "In order to again show my sincerity. I hereby deposit the sum of $10,000 as a side bet, with the privilege of increasing later on, if my financial standing will allow. - "I most respectfully call your atten- tion to the fact that I have already signed articles to meet you before the Olympic club for a $25,000 purse, winner to take all, and I trust you will see your way clear to do likewise. Yours respectfully, Robert Fitzsimmons. Champion Middle-weight of the World." SOUTHERN PROGRESS. Large ; Number of New Industries -Established North Carolina . . Among the Foremost. Chattanooga, Sept. 27, The Trades man in its quarterly report for the three months ending September 30, 1894, of the. new industries; established in the Southern States, reports 520 industries incorporated and organized in the South in the period named, against 454 in the third quarter of 1893; 597 in the third quarter of 1892, and 759 in the third quarter of 1891. It shows that the worst period of the depression occurred in the summer of 1893 and that there has be?n distinct recovery, which is daily be coming more marked. In the aggregate of new industries in the quarter just ended, Texas leads with 64, Georgia is second with 55, North Carolina third with 47, ' Virginia 45, Alabama and Florida each 44, Tennessee 42, Arkansas 38, Louisiana 3(5, Kentucky and West Virginia each 32, Mississippi 24, South Carolina 17. JThe most noticeable feature of the compilation is the falling off in companies of a speculative nature, and the steady increase in industries of a. more useful character. r In the third quarter of 1891 there were sixty land companies organ ized, against only thirteen in the past quarter. Une hundred and twenty-nine saw and planing mills, box factories and other wood working plants were organ ized in the three months. Forty-three flour and grists mills were established, North Carolina leading with ten, The Tradesman calls especial atten tion to the substantial progress in the committee on mill industry in the South in the past quarter and reports thirty nine new establishments, against twenty two in the corresponding period of 1893. Georgia heads the list. with 9, North Carolina 7 and Sputh Carolina 5. The Tradesman adds that reports from all sections of the South point to a sub stantial revival in manufacturing indus tries, enlargement of old plants and a very marked increase in orders. - ; The Sun's Cotton Review. Newv York, Sept. 27. The Sun's cot ton report says: : Cotton advanced 6 to 7 points, lost most of this, then rallied and advanced 9 to 11 points,, then reacted slightly and closed 8 to 10 points , higher for the day. March, it was stated, sold to-night at 6 42, or 1 point under official closing prices. The official closing was firm, with sales or llo.ow bales. Liver pool advanced 1 point, closing unchanged to point lower and Dareiy lower, m Manchester, yarns were in moderate de mand, cloths quiet. New Orleans ad vanced 5 points, lost most of this, and March dropped 1 point below yesterday's closing", but later on' that "market ad vanced 5 to 8 points.' Spot cotton was unchanged here. Sales were 455 bales for spinning. There waa, a decline of l-16c at Memphis, Augusta and New Orleans and lc at Mobile, and St. Louis and Galveston.' Port receipts were 23,065 bales, against 19,640 this day last week and 22.726 last vear: thuslfar this week. 160,083 bales against 119,578 thus far last week. Exports xrora tne. ports were 10.37& bales, mostly to Great Britain. Port Royal yesterday shipped 7,616 bales to Liverpool. Estimated receipts at New Orleans to-morrow are a ,000 bales, pos sibly 10,000, against 6,773 6n the same day last week, and 5,708 last year. ' To-day's features: There was a sharp advance, mainly due to heavy covering of leading shorts and the unusual small numbers of the bear party,. The receipts at thei port were not so large as had been expected, and those at some of the inte rior towns t are comparatively - small. Liverpool opened strong and active, but weakened later on ana cioseu uareiy steady. Thl3 affected New York for time, but the decreased crop movement, heavy rains in the Atlantic States, some reports of damge, and local covering rtauced a sharp advance later on.

Formerly Weather Bureau Officer, Indicted in 1881 Tor Heavy Embezzlement, Jast -Found In New York City Had Been ; Residing . There All the Time J The Detectives at Work. " .New York, Sept. 27. Capt. Henry W. Howgate, formerly chief of the weather bureau in Washington, D. C, and who has been a fugitive from justice since the winter of 1880-81, was arrested to-day. on Ninth street between Broad way and Fourth avenue by Petective A. Drummond, of this city, acting for the Secretary of Agriculture. Howgate was not only chief but dis bursing officer of the weather bureau.' His embezzlements, forgeries and lar cenies, it is alleged, aggregated $370,000 at least. He was an officer of the regu lar, army, and being a genial, whole souled man, had hosts of friends. . There are seven indictments hanging over him, each containing a number of counts. He was arrested in 1881, but escaped from an officer who had him in charge on a visit to his home. 1 He disappeared and has not since been seen and identified by any United Statespfficer . He was known to have left Washington with a woman not his wife. He had a family at that time. He now hasv a daughter who lives at Newburyport, Mass. 'The woman with whom he fled from Washington has ong since left him. He. was. when he fled from Washington, an active, black haired man-in the prime, of life. He is now 60 years old, bent and oroken. and "with gray hair and beard. Though the United States officers have been hunting all over, the United States for him, he has been living quietly here in New York city as a dealer in second handbooks. His place of business wasi at No. 80 Fourth avenue, in a basementj Lie has had cards printed bearing the name of "Harry Williams," and by that name he has for years been known to the book trade of this and other citiesX His cards announced that he deals in !okl magazines, reviews and periodi? cals." His residence was at No. 195 West Tenth street, where he had 'bachelor lodgings," and kept a. large amount of stock for his store. ; - j - Detectives, hunted the continent over for Howgate, but without success, r Four months ago Drummond learned that Howgate was in the book business in this city or Brooklyn. A systematic hunt of all the book stores in the two cities was made. It was believed that he was an employe, as no bookseller named Howgate was Known to the trade. When any of Drummond's agent; learned that a man resembling Howgate in appear ance had been found in a dook store that employe was shadowed. His acquaint ance was formed and his private life fathomed by conversation. I A wees ago Drummond tried the plan of haunting book auction rooms. It was a happy thought. A clerk from the Wajr Department in Washington who knew Howgate, made the rounds of the book auction rooms every day. On Monday $he clerk saw Howgate enter an auction room on Broadway near Tenth street. The clerk was not certain, however, as Howgate : had changed. From a man weighing upwards of 190 pounds he has grown to be a dried-up old man of about 14 pounds. The clerk - went again to the book sale oh Tuesday and' entered into conversation with Howgate. From his manner of speaking" the. clerk was certain that he stood before the fugitive at last.. j Drummond took the midnight train for Washington on Tuesday and , yester day got a bench warrant from : Judge Bingham, of the Supreme court, u He returned this morning. When Howgate was arrested he remarked quietly: 'I know when I am beaten." f Howgate was arrrigned on the nomi nal charge, made in the Washington in dictments in 1879, of obtaining $3,500 on a forged receipt, from H. D. Sawyer,,in July 1879. - j "You understand this charger' asked Commissioner Alexander. j '?Uh. yes," said Howgate, with a feeble smile, "It is one of the old series I sup- "l his, said the commissioner, "is an application to hold you in order that a warrant may.be obtained from a United States District judge so that you may be taken to Washington. r Do you demand an examination." i "No, no, I waive an examination and I admit my identity," said the old man. "There ia no object in delay. j- "Bail fixed at flO.uuo," taid the com missioner. I "There is another charge," said United States District Attorney v McFarland, "Here is another charge of embezzling the sum of $34,000." Bail was fixed at $10,000 in each case. Howgate said he could not give bail and was taken to Ludlow street jail, pending advices from Washington. - Building up"the South. Baltimoee, Sept. 27.

The advances were by Vo means large, but the fact that therewas any improvement at all excited no little apprehension in the bear ranks, in view, of .the big drop in Sugar and the weakness of some of the other industrials and Specialties. Sugar was forced for Bale throughout the session and declined fromNoii to 901. The stock figured for 97,400 shares in a total for the whole list of 224.938 The decline was due chiefly to the statejnentby President iiavemeyer that the sugar industry has been unprofitable since the passage of me iann diu ana tnavine renneries are about to shut down because the market is overstocked with 1 the. refined ar tide. Consolidated Gas broke ,4 points to 119, Manhattan 2 to 113. Distillers was weakened by re ports that the company will have to be reorgnized and that an assessment will probably be 'made .ort the stockholders. On the other hand, Chicago. GasLouis ville and Nashville, General Electric, Reading and all .of the Grangers de veloped positive strength and advanced to 1 per cent. Despite the weakness in sugar, these stocKs reacted only frac tionally at the close. Active issues show gains of i to per cent. , Burlington and Quincy leading. Sugar, however, fell 4f, preferred If, Manhattan, 1 and Lead, St. Paul and New England 1 to i. The bond : market ' was weaker. Sales of listed stock aggregated 115,000 shares, unlisted 109,000. I " CBiCAao, Sept. 27. What appeared to u a uaiunu recuverv iu wiipml took place to-day, but right : at the close the bull courage and enthusiasm oozed out and most of the gain; was lost, prices resting exactly; where; they did at . the end of . yesterday's session. Outside orders were not notably large or numer ous and local trade was insignificant. December opened at 53fc, sold between 53 Jc and 53ic, , closing at 53 ic. Cash wheat was in good demand for the bet ter grades. .- Prices were not essentially changed. i The story before the opening was that 50c for May corn would bring out a big lot of stop-loss orders. -With this idea in their mind the bears made a deter mined drive at the market and succeeded in putting the price to the figure men tioned, but without accomplishing the purpose they had in view. Instead of increased selling, the demand improved to. such an extent 'that the tide was turned and an advance resulted. The last few minutes of the session presented another change in the sentiment, the entire gain being lost the close record ing almost the inside figure. There was heavy covering of short corn at the bot tom, but no good effect was felt in the late tone. May corn ranged between 50 ic and 49fc, closing at 49 J to 50c, f to 4c under yesterday. Cash corn was un changed, i Oats obeyed the upward and down ward direction with (corn. The trade was not marked by anvthin&r of an un usual or important character, buying by an elevator concern j being the most noticeable business transacted. Mav closed ic lower than ! yesterday. Cash oats sold i to ie higher than vesterdav. but closed unchanged, with a firm feel ing ruling. ? Frovisions: Prices I in this market opened easy in accord! with a like feeling as me bwjck yards. A decline of 5 to 10c was made, hut one oi two' commission houses and several packers contributed enough buying orders to bring about an advance, wmcn neld i fairly well until the close, which was 10c higher for Jan uary pork, January lard and January ribs. The strength of grain, abqut the middle of the session helped product La a degree. ' " i - Cyclone Casualties. Mason City. Ia.. Sent. 27.

' - Messenger Bueeau, I Raleigh, Sept. 27. . Governor Carr to-day appointed C. G. Latta, of this city, a director of the sane asylum, vice Dr. W. R. Wood, m-re- signed. R. W. Brown was a few days ago appointed to fill this vacancy, but declined. The directors met at 5 o'clock this afternoon, their special business be ing the election of two assistant physi cians. There were many applicants for these positions. j The directors elected Drs. Faison and McGeeachy. j The storm here was not severe. The Jvind was quite high last night, but never reached the size of of a gale. It does not appear that crops are injury. Cotton is ihe only thing in danger. Perhaps some of that is blown out. . No reports of dam age anywhere in the State have been re ceived. The wind continues to-day, but is lighter,, and the rain is not very heavy. The weather is much warmer. . In the Superior court Charles Dunston, the negro who shot Mr. Hamilton T, Jones, near Forestville last spring, was last evening given a three years' sentence. He ambushed Mr. Tones. He swore that he was hired to do the shooting by a negro who had a grudge against Mr. Jones. - ' Business has been light this week, by reason of the bad weather, and farmers have not been able to do much work in the fields. Travel is now light on the railways. " It is expected that in a few days there' will be some good news regarding the coal mines at Egypt. Arrangements are now being made with Philadelphia peo ple which look to the operation of these mines on a far more extensive scale than ever before. The revenue deputies have given the; moonshiners a partial rest in this district this month. The captures of illicit dis tilleries have been few, Mr. B. R. Lacy, 'Labor Commissioner; says the mill owners are this yearlceply ing well to Ins inquiries, and he adds that their replies show a much more healthy tone. He appears to think that his forthcoming report will be a good one, with more comprehensive statements. Governor Carr got back early this morning from the Concord fair and. ex presses his appreciation of the exhibit. The fracture of the arm of Dr. W. H. Cobb, Jr., due to a fall from a bicycle, is simple and will not give him much trouble. The cause of the fall was the breaking of the wheel. The county Prohibition convention is voted to be quite the funniest political event of the year. Your correspondent last evening at tended onevof the dances at the insane asylum. Every Wednesday evening the men dance and every Friday the female- patients. Most people think that the in sane behave in a wild fashion at the dances. Quite the contrary. Their be havior is model, which many sane per sons might well pattern after. The dance last evening was in new the handsome dining room of the female infirmary. This is the new building which, sad to say, is as yet unoccupied. - At least 100 of the insane were present Of these twelve were females. The attendants also participated. A really good orches tra of four pieces made merry music. All were happy. The dances were all square dances. The patients look for ward to these affairs with perfect de- 1 light. Seated in "a corner, conversing pieuBauuy, was a man wno ior twenty rive years has been an inmate. He killed hi? wife and two children. Talking to a fihe looking female patient was a man who, during the three years he has been in the asylum, has not spoken half as many words as he spoke last . evening. The female patient was from his own county and she began the conversation and "brought him out?' Iswas very difficult to tell the patients from their attendants and your correspondent made some queer blunders. A very tall female in a white dress is a noted jig dancer, and while the orchestra ruled off the measures of that lively dance she took the floor and showed what he could do. Three male patients gave a specimen of their skill in the same lme. The plan of allowing the, best male and female patients to dance together is a new one and is working ad mirably. It all goes to show what a queer world this is, and how little the many know of the few. Your correspondent is told that Rev. Dr. W, C Norman, Rev. S. B. Turren tine and Professor Dred Peacock are prominently mentioned in connection with the presidency of Greensboro Fe- Wholesale Indictment or Gambling . Houses. . -Chicago, Sept. 27.
