More Secret Documents in Drey
fus Case Gen. Miles Sick.
By Cable to The Times-Visitor.
London, Sept. 15. Advices this
morning show that the first re
ports regarding the fearful de
struction of life and property
by the terrible hurricane, which
swept over the Barbadoes, St.
Vincent, St. Lucia and other
islands to the winward of this
group were not exaggerated. In
deed appalling as the details are
they fail utterly to present an
adequate idea of the terrible
havoc wrought by the storm.
All the estimates made thus far
as to the loos of life are believed
to be far short of the actual
number killed, while the number
of personB who were rendered
homeless is far greater than was
' at first stated. The aggregate
damage to property on the isl
ands cannot be estimated even
approximately since the winds,
rainfall, tidal waves and land
slides have completely devas
tated the country. It is now be
lieved that the number of the
dead at Kinston, the capital of
the island, which was totally de
stroyed, will exceed three hun
dred and the number rendered
. homeless Is twenty thousand.
The British man of war Alert
went to sea to escape the com
ing storm. A very heavy loss is
reported in shipping circles.
Guadeloup suffered heavily.

Mayor Rus Put Him Under
a $50 Bond Fntil Monday
Alderman Ben Robinson of the
Fourth Ward, has returned from New
York, where he went, it is said, for the
purpose of securing $900 in cash which
his sister, who recently died there, left
him.
The case against the Alderman for
holding his wife while "Red" Eliza
gave her a thrashing was set for last
Monday, but the Alderman's absence
prevented a hearing.
Today an officer called on the Alder
man at his place of business in .the
"Bloody Fourth" near the depot, and
summoned him to appear without de
lay. The Alderman filled his pockets
with cash and wended his way to the
office of his Honor. He was not ready
for trial, so Mayor Russ placed him un
der a $50 bond for his appearance be
fore him next Monday morning. The
Alderman readily gave the requisite
bond.

ACCIDENT TO
THIRD REGIMENT
Second Section of tie
Train Wrecked
A TVI-jrram Fr m Ashp.villr
:8tfttes that No ' Was
Seriously Him
The three special trains bearing the
Third Regiment from Fort Maeonto
Knoxville, Tenn., passed through Ral
eigh late yesterday afternoon.
Col. James Young occupied a Pull
man palace car on the rear of the third
section. This section left Raleigh
about six yesterday afternoon.
This morning Young sent the fol
lowing telegram:
Asheville, N. C,
Sept. 15, (11:17 a. m.) '98.
A. J. Rogers, Raleigh, N. C. :
Second section had a wreck but no one
was injured seriously.
JAMES H. YOUNG.
The telegram was not received by
Rogers until about three o'clock today.
so no particulars of the wreck could
be learned.
However, neither of the two com
panies in the Third Regiment from Ral
eigh were on the second section since
the cars bearing them were attached
to the first section. Col. Young's palace
car was on the third section so he was
not in the wreck. The wreck must have
happened near Asheville, but nothing
further than Young's telegram could
be learned.
It will be remembered that an acci
dent happened to the train carrying
the First Regiment to Jacksonville
In which several were hurt.
CAMP MOVED.
The First North Carolina Regiment
Moves Its Quarters.
A special from Jacksonville to the
Charlotte News says: The camp of
the First North Carolina Regiment has
been moved from Srinfield to the south
ern part of Panama Park. The present
location is claimed to be nfty feet high
er than the old camp ground, but it
is very inconvenient for those desiring
to go to the city. It is one and one-
half miles to the street car line. One
mile to Panama Park Railway station,
so those desiring to visit the city must
either take not less than a three mile
walk to and from the car line or else
pay one dollar for a carriage. There
will not be such a rush for "passes"
in the future from the enlisted men
and toward the end of the month it is
quite likely visitors at the camp will be
more certain of finding the officers at
home. i
On the west of the North Carolina
line is the camp of the Second Illinois;
on the north Torrv's Rough Riders;
on the northeast the Third Nebraska,
First South Carolina and Fourth Illir
nois.
The camp is supplied with water from
an artesian well in Panama Park. The
water is considered very healthy, it
being very strong with sulphur. One
of the boys after tasting the water
carried a cup full to a quartermaster
sergeant in the regiment, said to him,
"Sergeant, some low down scoundrel
has trown rotten eggs in the water."
Pay-day, which usually comes about
the 7th of every month, has for some
reason left the men of the regiment
guessing. Now, since it is a settled
fact that the Regiment will be retain
ed the only question to be heard.
"When will we be paid off?"
Wednesday the 15th will be a day of
pleasure as sight-seeing for the citi
zens and visitors of the city, and one
of joy to the soldiers. The Seventh
Army Corps will be reviewed by Presi
dent McKInley, Secretary Alger and
General Lee. It is a very pretty sight
to stand upon the sidewalks, sit on
chairs, etc, watch the boys as- they
tramp through the city.

THE GRAND PARADE
Second Ffegimt'iir March
Through theCiry Tomorrow
PROVOST GUARD AGAIN
Mayor Riis Visited Tolonel Burgwvn
this Morning and Asked that a ood
Hrovost Guard be Plncud in
the City.
The grand parade of the Second Reg
iment through the city tomorrow will
draw a large crowd to Raleish. The
citizens of Raleigh will embrace this
opportunity of seeing the entire Second
Regiment on dress paraCe.
Col. Burgwyn very kindly consented
to this at the request of Mayor Russ
and other citizens.
Col Burgwyn stated today that the
regiment would leave camo between
four and five o'clock tomorrow after
noon. Thev will then march down
Hillsboro street, down McDowell to
Martin, then to Fayetteville to Morgan
then out Blount to the Governor's Man
sion, where the regiment will be re
viewed by Governor Russell, Mayor
Russ and several other prominent citi
zens. This will be the grandest regi
mental Darade seen In Raleigh.
Furloughs may be granted to some of
the soldiers Saturday, but Colonel Bur
gwyn thinks that they will probably
be here eight or ten days.
PROVOST GUARD.
The provost gnard will be re-established
in Raleigh and stringently main
tained in future.
Col. Burgwyn will have discipline en
forced at the camp and preserve order
among the troops In Raleigh.
This morning Mayor Russ paid a visit
to Camp Shipp-Bagley, where the Sec
ond Regiment of North Carolina vol
unteers are quartered, and had a con
ference with Col Burgwyn. The Mayor
informed Col. Burgwyn that It was Im
possible for the police force to preserve
order among the troops in Raleigh, and
requested him to establish a provost
guard. This Col. Burgwvn said he
would do and he stated further that
he would a conference with the other
regimental officers in regard to enforc
ing discipline among the soldiers while
they are In the city.
No one blames the soldiers of the
Second Regiment for being lax while in
town, for you cannot find 1,500 men
anywhere who will be on their best
behavior when gathered together in a
city away from home. The boys should
be given all the liberty possible but
the Mayor thought it -was for their
good as well as that of the citv to
have a good provost guard. The men
in the Second Regiment have been
penned up and they cannot be blamed
for trying to enjoy themselves while
they have a little freedom. The boys
have hosts of friends in Raleigh who
want to see them and have them with
them, and it is earnestly hoped that
the order allowing only a few men from
each company to visit Raleigh at a
time will not be re-established. A good
provost guard will be all that is neces
sary, in the opinion of the citizens of
Raleigh, who are anxious to show all
the consideration and honor to the sol
diers that they can.
Some of the boys were having a lively
time in town last night, and this was
what led to the Mayor's visit to Col.
Burgwyn. The affairs last night would
have been prevented if the provost
guard had been efficient. Nothing se
rious, however, occurred last night. One
soldier fell down in the cellar where the
Tucker building is being constructed,
and was carried to the hospital. He is
doing well and will be out soon. An
other had his scalp cut by a blow with
a beer bottle and Dr. Brevard stitched
up the wound today. A third had his
shoulder hurt from a brick thrown at
him.
Col. Burgwyn says that a good pro
vost will go on duty between six and
seven this afternoon. Last night the
provost guards were In the trouble.
The Times-Union and Citizen gives
an account of the way In which a sol
dier Is treated when found under the
influence of intoxicants. He is usually
found on the streets or In the bar
rooms, the first thing the provost guard
does is to 'phone for the patrol wagon,
which used to be used as a Are patrol
and on the sides of the bodv of the
wagon are the letters: "J. F. D."
(Jacksonville Fire Departmen) but now
It Is turned, "Just For Drunks." Upon
the arrival of the wagon the victim Is
hustled Into It and carried to Provost
headquarters. There he is stripped of
all clothing and the 'cold water cure'
applied. This is an invariable cure.
The man at the end of the stream of
water soon becomes conscious of the
surroundings and pleads for mercy, but
the water Is thrown on him until he
promises most sincerely not to drink
any more and if this promise is broken
It is usually done out of reach of the
Provost Guard.
Remember the musicale at the- Hotel
Carrollton Friday night.
That will be the moat enjoyable event
of the season at Hotel Carrollton on
Friday night ,' y
