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.

The centre of the hurrican was not a great distance southeast of this city, but every telegraph wires 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 inl seventeen feet of water at a point opposite the life saving station. She will have to discharge a part of her cargo. iThe Swedish bark Antonette, not .loaded, dragged her anchrr half way down the bay and was only saved from capsizing by cutting away her foremast. (The little schooner Two Son9, of New Orleans, had her masts x;ut away to keep from capsizing. The fishing smack, Mary Potter, dragged her anchors from j Town Point and went ashore on Santa Rosa island east of the life saving station, where she lies high and dry. The tide rose over the 1 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 upto 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 of I the dummy line, from Big Bayou to the Navy yard is twisted out of shape, and in some places is buried two feet under sand. The city is much damaged. Fences, trees, and small outhouses were blown down Jin 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 & 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. j SCR anton, Miss., Oct. 9. This morn ing the tugs Leo, Eva! and For went to Home Island, but could not make a landing.

The wind at Port Eads had tttained a velocity of eighty -four miles an hour when the gauge broke.

Will Not Be Called Regent. St. Petersburg, Oct. 9. It is under stood here that if the Czar decides, as it is fully expected that he will, upon a form of regency during his absence from Russia, the -XJzarewitch will not be ap pointed regent, but he will be entrusted hy a special declaration of the Czar with the direction of State affairs..

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 reformers discussed 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 eelections 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 at the conference: Franklin D. 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. i Wiedeman of Rockland county, Thomas G. Shearman of Brooklyn. John A. Beal of New York, John Brooks IJeavitt of New York, D.; & Ramsey, of Brooklyn, and A. R. James of Buffalo. Shepard said that these 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." More Railway Wreck Casualties. Bristol, Tenn., Oct. 9.

The south bound freight on the jAsheyille and Spartanburg 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 eep 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, aeaa. tonauctor iratton nad his leg and nip oadiy crushed. - The first train from the Saluda mountain came in ing the body of Neal Ewmg, an Ashe ville stone cutter, who was stealing a ride South. It is now believed that three cf the crew were killed, although the bodies of Engineer Broom and Brakeman Allen have not yet been found. Fireman York's body was found, but the wreck ing crew have not been able to xeach it yet, Conductor Patton had a leg crushed and his skull slightly fractured. His leg was amputated and there are chances for his recovery. John Miller, a colored brakeman jumped and was only slightly injured. Others j of the crew stood to their post to the .last. Daniel Owens, a stock man, was in the caboose, but was unhurt. He had a car load of cattle 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 ported to-night that two boys, friends of Ewmg, 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. j A Lynching Bes In Prospect. ; Birmingham, Aia., Oct. 9. A special to. the Age-Herald from Greensboro says: Robin Smith, a negro lad, 16years old, was discovered under the bed of a daughter of J. A. Martin, a prominent farmer. The girl gave an arlarm and the brute fled. On learning that he was being pursued he gave himself up to the sheriff. He said he was merely listening to the girl and a companion talk, but did not know what else he might have been tempted to do. Much indignation is expressed and there will probably be a lynching bee. k. The Chilean Indemnity Paid. Washington, Oct. 9.

The South sold consider able cotton and there was quite a little local liquidation on the rise early in the day.
