The Damage Will Foot Up $1,000,000. SUFFERING AND SHIPWRECK. NEW ORLEANS, Oct. §.—The first news from the Mississippi gulf coast reached here this morning. All the wires have been down and the Louisville and Nashville railroad has been washed out at intervals from Mobile to New Orleans. The finan- clal loss along the entire coast will foot up not less than $1,000,000, and fully 100 lives were lost. Ruin at Biloxi. At Biloxi nothing escaped the fury of the elements. On every side could be seen the wrecks of boats, piers and bath houses and in many instances the fronts of houses on the beach were totally demolished. Throughout the town great trees were up- rooted, swinging signs were swept away like leaves, sheds and vehicles were tossed about like matchboxes and animals of every description were terribly frightened. Many of the streets are blocked with fallen trees and a mass of rubbish washed in by the sea, while the beach itself is impassible on account of the piles of wreckage visible all along the! entire coast. The canning indus- tries were completely wrecked, all the fac- tories being either badly damaged or utterly destroyed. Much of the damage at the back bay was caused by a section of several hundred feet of the railroad bridge which was swept away at Ocean Spring, and washing up against the buildings, crushed them like egg shells. Damage to the 8 It {s difficult at this time to make any ‘In- telligent estimate of the damage sustained by the loss of sloops, luggers, small schoon- ers, fishing boats and like crafts. Out of more than 100 boats on the bay, Uttle and big, only three rode the storm safely, and the beach is strewn with wrecks of all descriptions. On the back bay there were only one or two that weathered the gale. Not a single wharf 1s left standing on elther the front or back bay. The dam- age was not confined alone to the water front, but all through the city, in every direction, the effects of the storm can be seen in fallen trees, fences and here and there a house partially unroofed. The velocity of the wind at the height of the storm must have been at least 100 miles per hour. The Baptist church steeple was blown down and the bell cracked. The breakwater at the lighthouse was washed away, but the tower was not damaged. At Deer Island, just opposite Bilox!, over forty head of cattle were destroyed. When the storm came up, which was a genuine cyclone, there were many Biloxi boats in the Louisiana marsh oyster fishing, and it 1s almost certain that in many cases a number, if not all, of their boats have gone down with all on board. Of eight schoon- ers that were known to be there on Sunday evening three have been picked up bottom up, with masts and rigging all gone and not a soul on board. It is believed that the loss of life will not fall short of 100. ‘Wrecks at Ship Island. At Ship Island, prior to the storm, there were seven vessels loading for foreign Ports. The Norwegian bark Simon, Capt. Gundersen, 734 tons, from Capetown to load for Buenos Ayres, lost her mast and rig- ging and suffered other damage. The Brit- ish bark Rosella Smith, 509 tons, from Ha- vana, Capt. Hunterman, was found, bottom up, drifting outside and 1s a total loss. The mate, carpenter and cook were drowned. The German bark Margeretis, 1,287 tons, from New York, Capt. Koster, lost two anchors and 120 fathoms of chains and suf- fered other damage. The Austrian bark An- nie E. B., from Santos, ts a complete wreck. Of the crew of thirteen men and two steve- dores aboard, the captain, three sailors and the two stevedores were drowned. The stevedores were from Pascagoula, one white and one colored. The barge Hero of Moss Point, belonging to Hows & Griffin, lost the only man aboard, named Shepard, and the barge Boss of the same place also lost a colored man, name unknown. Considerable damage was done on the island, the warehouse, fort, keeper's house and lazaretto at the quarantine station be- ing completely washed away the light- house keeper's house being badly dam- aged. About one mile of the railroad bridge at Bay St. Louts 1s washed ashore on the island, together with much derelicts of, other kinds, from wrecked vessels, oyster boats, sloops and luggers. Very little of the government wharf remains and what is left will be of no service. A large number of cattle were also drowned. On Chandeleur Island. Probably the worse damage and the loss of property was at Chandeleur Island. Here was located the United States Marine Hos- pital, quarantine buildings in charge of Dr. G. M. Guiteras, with Dr. Charles Pelaiz of Biloxi as assistant. At this point the fullest strength of the storm was developed, resulting not only in the almost complete destruction of all the buildings on the tsland, but a fearful loss of life. The velocity of the wind reached 100 miles per hour. The building and pier known as the disinfecting plant, supplied with all the modern appliances for the thorough disinfections of vessels from in- fected ports, 1s a complete loss, everything being washed away, while the other build- ings on the tsland are more or less dam- aged and uninhabitable. The largest house connected with the main station was also carried away. List of the Missing. ‘The following persons are missing and it is almost certain they are drowned: Stew- ard L. Duckett of New Orleans, Nurse Me- Kenzie of Mobile, Seaman Muller of Am- sterdam, and two patients, one named Lazeon of the steamer Ravensdale and George B. Salmis, boatman of the Ameri- can bark Rebecca Goddard. Neither of these patients, however, were suffering from any contagious disease and there was no disease of that character ex- isting at the quarantine. The bulldings on the island were located so far apart that there was no communication and it was impossible for the occupants to render as- sistance to one another. ‘The lght house ts also wrecked to such an extent that it will have to be abandoned. Dr. Guiteras has notified the department at Washington that the island Is no longer habitable and recommended the transfer of the quarantine station to Ship Island, and Dr. Pelaiz has been transferred to that point. Dr. Guiteras has also notified the bar pl- lots and the health authorities at Pensa- cola, Mobile and Pascagoula that ail ves- CE | sels from infected ports will hereafter re- port at Ship Island, instead of Chandeleur. The damage by wind to the quarantine service alone at Chandeleur Island will amount to nearly $100,000. The disinfect- ing plant which had been erected during the past year, together with the wharf and disinfecting apparatus cost $170,000, and the other buildings and improvements betwee, $50,000 and $60,000, to which may be added about $20,00), for the steam transfer boat Wm. H. Welsh, Capt. Joseph Delmas, is aground at the north point of the island in three feet of water. Should the tug get afloat, which ts extremely doubtful, she will sustain damages to the amount of several thousand dollars. About forty head of cattle were also lost on the island. Yesterday a Manilla sailor made his way to the Chandeleur station from the fishing sloop Laura B., of New Orleans, which was wrecked in Grand Pass.

Out of a crew of seven men he is the only survivor, and when found on the island was in an unconscious end perfectly nude condition, having been in the water over ten hours. He was furnished with clothing and brought to Biloxi on the steam tug Justice Albert. The lugger Roselle is also known to have gone to the bottom with a crew of four men. Further Details. Telegraph poles along the railroad are down as far as the eye can reach. Messrs. Geo. L. Hole, Dudley Coleman, L. Roca, T. J. Blackman and several others arrived here from Bay St. Louis and left yesterday morning on the steamer Pearlington for New Orleans. ‘The schooners Alice McGuigin and Ange- Une have been discovered bottom upward three or four miles from the mouth of the Pearl river.

DeLevery, Guy Freightman, John Walker, Perry Harris, John Baker, Ell Peters, Al- len Peters, Philip Peters, Elijah Williams, George Scott, Samuel Young and two young men from New Orleans, all colored. One of the last mentioned is supposed to be named Manuel Munro and is a cigar maker by trade. The steamer Dial has just arrived from Ship Island, bringing the bodies of two of the crew of the schooner Alice McGuigin and one of the schooner Angeline. The drowned men are: John Walker, John Baker and Ed. Grant. The captain also reports two other drowned men picked up by him, one white and one colored. The brig Rosella Smith ts capsized at Ship Isiand along with several others. The schooner New Union broke loose from her moorings between 6 and 7 o'clock Monday morning and drifted out to sea. ‘The bark Annie E. B. has gone entirely to pleces and the British barkentine Antillas has lost her bowsprit and main mast by collision with another vessel. Blown Out to 5: Last night the Henry T. Greggs took two Italian fishermen from a raft as they were Grifting to sea, Another raft also passed the vessel with three men on board, but the Greggs’ small boats were so badly wrecked that they could lend no assistance to the unfortunates, and nothing has been heard from them since. ‘ The pilot boat Chicora, about which a great deal of uneasiness was felt, was dis- covered to be ashore on Cat Island, beached high and dry, with the two old veteran pilots, Capt. John Nelson, and Jos. Lewis, on board, with the cook and sailor. A number of other vessels were badly damaged, but it will be several days before the full and complete record of the total loss of life and property can be made. Washed From a Brid Jack Shepard, the assistant bridge tender on the Biloxi railroad bridge, was washed overboard and drowned. His body was re- covered the next day and buried at Ocean Springs. He leaves a wife and several chil- dren. From information received from Missis- sipp!

A quiet wedding was solemnized in Laurel last evening, the happy parties be- ing Miss Lena Ruff and Mr. F. H. Knowl- ton. Rev. James Nichols of the Presby- terlan Church was the officiating minister. ‘The best wishes of many friends go with the newly wedded pair. Some of the numerous democrats in the state of Maryland are being made happy by the receipt of positions under the gov- ernment, among the latest being Mr. Charles E. Tarr, late of the Laurel Demo- erat, who goes into the government print- ing office. Mir. J. S. Padgett received an appointment in the Washington navy yard, and entered upon duty yesterday. Messrs. Hezekiah Bounds and W. H. Fatrall, jr., are employed upon the new library building. Quite a party left Laurel this morning for t! world's fair, and will be gone about ten Among the party were Mr. Ed- mund_ Hill and daughter, Miss Blanche, Miss Susan Dungan, Mrs. Thomas Bartlett, Messrs. M. F. Schooley and Clarence Frost. School Examiner T. 8. Stone is visiting the schools in Laurel this week and finds them in first-class condition, The statement made by the Laurel Elec- tric Light Company seems to have had a very good effect, as many more orders have been given for new lights, including one of the factories here. It ts expected that the Leslie Hotel, which has a plant of its own, will make a contract with the Laurel com- pany, as the cost of lights then will be lower than the hotel can operate its plant for. Some dissatisfaction exists among the republicans in this end of the county on account of the action of the late conven- tion in giving the lower end of the county the nominations for the best offices on the ticket. Prince George's county receives the bonor of furnishing the candidate for contrciler upon the republican ticket, in the person of Mr. James T. Perkins, late treasurer of the county. Mr. E. B. Carr, the nominze on the re- publican ticket for county commissioner, is a resident of Laurel and was torm e ployed in the Interior Department, fim which he was remov: uke room for one of his democratic neighbors. The first public meeting of the Republican League of this place will be held here on Saturday night next to open the campaign in favor of the ticket nominated last Mon- day. It is hoped that the trouble among the employes of the Baltimore and Ohio rail- road may be settled without a strike, as such an act will entail much delay and trouble upon those of us who are com- pelled to travel over the road every day between Baltimore and Washington. Should a strike be ordered the strugzle long one, unless the company as the men are pretty thoroughly organ: ized and prepared to fight it out. The | policy of this road is to avoid strikes if possible. On account of the scarcity of water in the Patuxent river, the large cotton mill here is compelled to run on half time. tynesboro’ Pleasure Club. A meeting of the Hynesboro’ Pleasure Club was held on Tuesday evening last at | the residence of Mrs. A. M. Larcombe in this city.

TALKING TO THE CHILDREN. The Last of the Meetings Conducted by Ensign Edith Marshall. Closing Up the Three Days’ Campaign im the Interest of the Auxiliary League—Army Statistics. When Ensign Edith Marshall went over to Baltimore last evening, where she Is to address meetings in the interest of the aux- iliary league of the Salvation Army before going to New York, she left behind in Washington a great many admiring friends who hope to see her return. She had not only strenghened the Washington branch of the auxiliary league, but she had given such an idea of the Salvation Army to Washington as ought to prevent it from being misunderstood or misrepresented in the future here. The work of the local corps in charge now of Capt. McFetridge and Lieut. Taylor,who hold meetings night- ly in their hall on D street just east of ‘ith, visiting the sick, the suffering and the prisoners in the jail during the day time, except on Sundays, when the meetings be- gin with the “knee drill” or prayer meet- ing at 7 o'clock in the morning and are held at ll, 3 and 8 was brought into more con- spicuous notice than it has had hereto- fore, so quietly and modestly ts it carried on. “Many people will go to visit it and to help it because Ensign Marshall spoke of it who had never heard of It before. Of course, the auxiliary league receives the most immediate benefit from her visit, but this redounds to the advantage of the Salvation Army as a whole, including the small local representation of that mighty organization. The fact that there is an auxiliary league ready to help and protect and explain the army has been well adver- tised by Ensign Marshall's meetings, so that now everybody who wants to con- tribute to its support or seeks information about it knows that Mr, W. Redin Wood- ward, the secretary and executive of the Washington Auxiliary League resides at 517 6th street and is ready at any time to take subscriptions, or to give information or explanations about any of the features of the army or its work. Talking to Children. ‘The last of the series of meetings, that especially for the children, was conducted by Ensign Marshall yesterday afternoon in the lecture room of Wesley Chapel. The rain-storm kept away many who would have been there otherwise, but those who did attend were richly repaid, for in some respects, it was the most interesting of the series. Ensign Marshall explained the Junior Auxiliary League, recently started for children, who should be trained to work for other children. She told how her little nephews and nieces saved their pennies ip order that they might have the half-a-dol- lar quarterly dues, and how interested they became in the work done with their money among the poor little infants in the slums. Little Faith Woodward sang one of the many sweet army songs for children and the audience soon learned the chorus and also learned to clap their hands in time to the music as they sang. Ensign Marshall herself sang an army song in French, with a chorus in English, In which the audience had no difficulty in joining. The collection was taken especially for the Salvation Army creche, or day rursery, just started in the New York slums, Ensign Marshall saying that while its furniture was very plain, so plain that the little beds were made out of soap boxes, yet it did take some money to fix it up and to carry it on. Several members of the Auxiliary League spoke, and two of the ladies sang as a duet one of the army songs, with a fine marching chorus which the audience learned with ease. After she had drawn again upon her apparently inexhaustible stock of stories of army life, to the delight of the audience, Ensign Marshall closed the meeting with a most touching and tmpres- sive prayer, and then the farewells were reluctantly said. Salvation Army Statistics. It may be interesting in this connection to give briefly the latest statistics of the Salvation Army as they were given by Commander Ballington Booth at a great meeting in Association Hall, Tuesday night, a meeting which was described by all the Philadelphia newspapers as unprecedented in interest and earnestness. “I will show you,” said Commander Booth, “what an army of Christianity this Salvation Army is. In its membership there are 11,560 'com- manding officers, and 6,500 corps in 38 differ- ent nations, countries and colonies; they circulate 53,000.00 pieces of religious litera- ture in a year and conduct 60,000 relizious services every month, with 1,000,000 soldiers, all of whom are, by the way, total ab- stainers. In the United States we have 1,660 commanding officers, a paper, the War Cry, with a circulation of 72,00 weekly; we reached during the past year 13,000,000 peo- ple in 655 cities and towns and had 30,00) converts. We have had 250,000 converts in the United States alone.” ——— ALEXANDRIA, Coming City Counetl. The city council will resume its sittings next Tuesday evening, not having held a session for many weeks. During the inter- val, while no inconvenience has been found from the want of the regular meeting of the council, a considerable amount of busi- ness has accumulated, and, as the stand- ing committees have not been idle during the interregnum, they will make several interesting reports. The newest proposal 4s for a revision of the city code and a new. bcok containing the city laws. The first edition of the city laws was published in 1802, soon after the entrance of Alexandria in the District of Columbia. Since that time revisions have been made by Judge Cranch in 1821, by Mr. C. E. Stuart and Reuben Johnston in 18ii and by Mr. W. F. Carne in 1870. Very many laws have been passed and very many changes have been made since that time. It is suggested that if the book containing the new code shall, also, contain the local laws of the state applica- ble to Alexandria matters and not con- tained In the state code it will make the Yolume a most useful one. The Democratic Nomination for Dele- mute. The democratic convention to nominate a delegate to the legislature will meet here next Tuesday. As already stated, ten of the Alexandria delegates have already been provided for, except that one remains in doubt. In ‘Alexandria county Jefferson district has elected George Salsbury; Ar- Mngton district has elected J. W. Clark and Cc. B. Graham and Washington district has elected Jacob Beach and William Payne. The county delegates hold the balance of power between Messrs. Caton and Bend- heim. Notes. A wedding occurred yesterday at St. Mary’s parsonage. The operator of the Washington Southern Telegraph here, Mr. George Swann, was married to Miss Jennie Nash, daughter of Mr. Michael H. “Nash, and ihe happy couple started on @ bridal trip. The Alexandria fire plugs show, in the lower part of the city, a spouting power of forty pounds. The democrats expect a speech in this city from Hon. R. C. Kent, their candi- date for Meutenant governor, towards the close of the present month. ‘The Hydraulion Fire Company has adopt- ed a vote of thanks to the Veteran Fire- man’s Association of Washington for cour- tesies extended to them upon their visit on the occasion of the Capitol corner stone cen- tennial. Mr. C. F. Swetnam, late a grocer in this had his arm broken by contact with a post while riding on the Richmond and Danville railroad near Mitchel’s station yesterday. ‘The Alexandria Light Infantry inspection tcok place last night at their armory in presence of a considerable number of spec- tators. Col. William jalle of the third Virginia regiment was the inspecting of- ficer. —_—— Suspicious Characters. Yesterday afternoon Officer Horne of the sixth precinct noticed two young men of about twenty years of age acting in a sus. picious manner at the corner of 41-2 and C streets northwest, and took them into tody. On taking them to police head- quarters they gave their names as Charies Meaney, alias Carwell, and John R. Chase. On searching them a numeber of pawn tickets were found. It was ascertained that they had just left Bernstein's pawn office, where Chase had put up a very handsome hand-painted breastpin and pendant with sixteen pearls, valued at $10 or $59, Chase stated that he had acted for Meaney in the matter, and the latter first of all stated that it’ was his mother’s, but subsequently that he took It from ‘his girl's Meaney, or Carwell, was found to have two pawn tickets, one for a bracelet, on which he had raised $10, and one for @ diamond pin, on which $ had been advanced, while Chase held tickets for a gold watch and a set ring. They were taken to the Police Court this morning and the officer had them committed till Saturday, and in trunk. | PRETTY AUTUMN WEDDINGS Are Interesting Washington People Now—Other Matters im Social Life.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: Being a resident of the northeast, I have frequently noticed, when on my way home, that the crossing of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad at G street is left unprot-cted after nighfall, at which time the gatemaa takes his departure. But ableut $30 last evening, seeing a very narrow escape from a serious accident, the extreme danger of leaving such a crossing without anyone to raise and lower such gates as are — there was brot it very forcibly to my notice. lam mo gone that tLe crossing referred to is one of the most dangerous in the city, for there are six or seven tracks to be crossed in succession, without any break between them, as is the case on H street, and during the early part of the nigat freight trains are constantly moving about and passenger trains on both branches of the railroad are coming and going inter- vals. No intelligent person could watch that crossing for half an hour any evening with- out being impressed with the great danger in leaving it unprotected. A gateman is certainly needed there at least until mid- night, and when such precious things as human lives are being risked, it is surpris- ing that such a state = rE sand be allowed exist in the city of ‘ashngton, “i J.
