This does net begin to account for the Inggere lob, for more than is mere were known to be in the vicinity of Grand Island, The ialands adjecent to Grand Isle were also inoluded in the hurri- cane that swept this trountry last Sunday. Emmert is one of the greup, and, like all ite neighboro, is meted by people, all of Whom are clear Speniards by descent. Di has not more theta a score of inhabitants who earn their living by fishing. This place wait eatirely depopulated. The roadbed of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad frora Pearl River to Waveland is completely writhed away, and west of Look - it is nearly as bad. Alfred Palen an halide tu relating the story of the storm said he had lost all of his property, but had fortunately saved Inte two children on his shoulders. His mother tried to save a drowning child, but as she reached for the little one in the mad waters, the wind Inoreased and the little one was swept away from her outstretched arms. In the bearding ileum of John Richard there were sixty-one persons when the storm came up, and the house was com- pletely wreaked. Col. Denton and his wife were killed by felling timbers, while the ethers escaped uninjured. The store of Tom Valenoe was wrecked, and also his house, and his family, conslan leg of a wife and six children, a gator and himself, were killed or drowned. Teeto Valence's store was also wrecked, and he and hie wife were killed in the wreck of the store. Armand Terrebonne was drowned. Alidore Terrehenne and family were drowned. Malaita' Terrence, wife, three daughters and two sons were drowned. Emma, bis daughter, was killed in the wreck of the home. Armand Paled, wife and three children were drowned. Opte Bouzega, wife and son were drowned. Leon Terrie and family were drowned, with the exception of three children. Doulence Bouzega'his wife and six children were drowned. Two children, a daughter and eon were saved. Thomas Alone, his son Joseph and the latter% family were drowned, with the exception of his wife. Robin was floating on a log on the water from 10 o'olock at night until 5 o'clock in the morning. He travelled that time four and a half miles, and at daylight swam ashore. LOSS OVER A MILLION defualte news feem the Gulf Coast reaohed the elite this merning. The finanoiel loss along the entire coast will foot tip nob len than $1,000,000 and fully 1,000 lives were lost. The news is almost as appalling aa that from the mast of Louisiana. At Beioxi 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 en the beach wore totally demolished. The canning in- dustrieni Wen completely wrecked. Out of more than 100 boats of the front bay, only three rode the storm safely. and the beach is !drawn with wrecks of all desorip- tons. On the back bay there were only one or two that weathered the gale. Nat a single wharf is left standing on either front or back bay. The damage was not con- fined alone to tJae water front, but all through the city, in every direction, the effects of the etorm own be seen in fallen trees, formes, and here and there a house partially unroofed. At Deer Island, just opposite Beloxi, forty head of cattle were drowned. When the storm came up, which was a genuine cyclone, there were mealy boats in the Louisiana march, oyster fish- ing, and tt is aimed certain that a number, if not all of these boats, WENT DOWN WITH ALL ON BOARD. Of eight schooners, known to be there Sunday evening, throe have been picked up bottom aide up, with maste and rigging all gone and not a soul on board. It is believed the lost ef life will not fall short of 100. At Ship Island, previous to the storm, there were seven veseels loading for other ports. The Norwegian bargee Simon, Capt. Gila - dorsal], 734 tone, for Capetown, to lead for Bunoes Ayres, lost her mast, rigging, and iraffered obher damage. The British barque Roselle, Smith, 509 tone, for Havana, Capt. Hunterman, was found bottom up driftieg +outside, and is a total wreck, The mate, 'carpenter and cook were drowned. The Garman barque Mergeretis, 1,287 tons, from /dew York, Capt. Hinter'lost twe anthers and 120 fathoms of chaino, and suffered other damage. The Austrian barque Annie E. B., from Santos, is a complete wreck. Of the crew of thirteen men and two steve- dores aboard, the captain, three sailors and the two stevedoers were drowned. Considerable damage was dene on the Island, the warehouse, fort, keepers' house and lazaretto at the quarantine station being cempletelv washed away and the lighthouse - keeper's house being badly damaged. Very little of the Government wharf remains, and what is left will be of no service. A large number of cattle were aho drowned. Pinball the wont damage, the loos of property, was at Chandelier Island. Here Vats located the United States Marine Rod. vital and the quarantine betiding:). At thie plaint the fullest ktrength of the storm was developed, resulting sot only in the almost complete destruction of all the buildings on bo island, but a FEARFUL LOSS OF LIFE. The building mad pier 'known as the die- enfeciting plant, supplied with all the 'modem appliancefoe the thorough diebi- footiono of vessels from infected ports, is a complete lose, everything being watheid away, While the other buildlitme on the island are more or lens demaged and unin- habitable,' The following pennons are miss- ing; and alreose certain they were droverted. • debeward Ie Duckett, of New ,Orleane ; Stereo MeKenzie, of Moble; Searnan Illeder, Of Amsterdam, and twri patient*, One named Lezen, ot the ateamehlp Anneal.. dale[wit Qeo, B, SabrAis, boatman of tiae Ante'etnen beide Rebecca Goecierd.

Tennis looked entirely different from when he made hie previona appearance in oourn He was dressed in a new dark uit, were a dark blue shirt, and curled himrelf hgeenreetradereted. lywiexthhibiajeuntier air than he has When he !stood up, Judge McPherson said that, after censidering the teetimony, the court had determined his crime guilty of murder in the first degree, "Have you anything to say," tithed the court to the stolid mein in front of him, "why sentence of death should not be passed upon you 7" " Nothing to say," said the prisoner, aeonically. Judge McPhercon then pasted the usual death sentence upon the prisoner. As he finiehed with the words "bo hanged by the neck until you are dead," the pritsoner raised his eyes in an indifferent way and then sank into his chair. He was soon back In his cell. The crime for which Tennis will forfeit bid life was committed on September 19th. He is a widower, 43 yeare old, sand has several children. He resided near the Wright home, two miles from Hummels- tema. He had frequently toid Agnea that he loved her, notwithstandiug .the was only ctild of 11 years. Tennis had aeked her to go away with him, bur she was timid, and always (escaped from his primula°. Little Agnes, who was an exceedingly pretty girl and tell for her yeara, on the fatal morning treated for soboolat 7 o'clock, she having two miles to walk. Near her home is a dense wood, through which the highway leads. It was in this wood and within sight of the Wright home- stead that Tennis lay in wait that rimm- ing for hie innocent victim. When ehe bad retched a dense clump of Mem, the fiend stepped sub in the road and again asked tho child to go away with him. She refused, and he seized her and carried her a few yards from the highway into the woods. Tannin himself then Mils what occurred, He most brutally ravished the little girl, and in an agony of fear and pain she cried out that ;Me would thll her father. Her ansailant then mid he would murder her to silence her tongue forever. The cella begged for her life. Tennis tore from her body a portion of her underelothing and tied it around her neck. She struggled, but he was toe strong for her weak efforts. After again assaultiug the girl Tennis cruelly strangled her with the clothing he bad tied abent ber throat. Then, letting the prey of his villaineue pension lie upen the ground, Tennis went to a neighboring farm, where he worked all day, and within sight of the spot where the murder had taken place. When Agnes did not return honae that evening, her parents become alarmed and began a search. Several neighbor); were notified, at d, with lanterne, they began to Incur the wooda along the road. Tennis jollied in this 'Jeanie At 10 o'clock the little body was found. Evidences of the crime wore apparent. A few done afterward Tennis quietly moved to mother house. This ooaasioned stupicion, and he was P300a in the clutches of the law. His doom hes been swift and in exact keeping with his black crime. The Deadly Tcoth•Brush.
