GULF STORM SCORES
HEAVILY IN PROPERTY
IF NOT IN LOSS OF LIFT.
LOUISVILLE. Ky , Sept. 21.—With the
«ity of x. w Orleans entirely stripped of
wire communication with the world and
reports trickling in from points along the
gulf between Fascagoula. Mississippi, and
Pensacola, Florida, of high tides an.l
winds of hurricane velocity, it is ap-
parent from the meagre information thus
far received that the gulf storm which
struck that section of the United Stnt^s
has scored heavily in property damage
if not in loss of life. No casualties are
reported thus far.
No advices have been received from
New Orleans since 3 o'clock this after-
noon. At that time the Associated Press
was Informed by the weather bur en i
that the piling up of the gulf waters vt
the mouth of the Mississippi river had
already caused a rise of three feet at
New Orleans, a result unprecedented et
that point. The present stage of the
river and the height of the levee will
admit of s much greater rise without
much damage to the city proper, but tha
report bodes 111 for the large number of
villages scattered about the country be-
tween the gulf and on the coast.
This fact taken in connection with the
ports from the Mississippi coast stating
that the gale there nveraged about 40
miles an hour, would Indicate that tho
storm is heading northeast across Flor-
ida and Alabama and northward Into
Louisiana. Reports of Increasing gales
toward Hatteras also seem to indicate
that the hurricane is heading that way.
I'p to 11 o'clock nothing bad been
heard from New Orleans except a few
disconnected words. The message whl?h
was received about 10 o'clock merely
told of the unroofing of some buildings
by the gale. Railroad communication
with New Orleans hv way of Mobile ts
entirely cut off. a great deal of track
being washed out. Trains are being de-
toured by way of Meridian, Miss., hut
It Is possible communication by that
route may have been resorted to as ad-
vices from Louisiana and Mississippi
points north of New Orleans stated that
the gale had reached those places also.
FRAGMENTARY REPORTS

SEVERE GULF STORM
MEMPHIS. Sept. 21.—Fragmentary re-
ports from points In southern Louisiana

Throughout the day this heavy wind

wind was northwestward. Its area wis
great, for it rea bed far up to the north-
ern line of Louisiana., east of the Miss-
issippi river. An early blow bad de-
stroyed the tra ks of the Louisville and
Nashville road along the coast east from
New Orleans and the tracks of the Illi-
