Tex., August 21.—A disastrous visited this city yesterday, 'ucUon mid desolation in its Victoria, Tex., wind storm visit leaving destruction track. The wind blow a perfect hurricane. About 7 o’clock in the niorning the east- bound passenger train, which was stand ing at the depot here, was blown over on the platform. Si veral passengers were on the train, but all of them escaped unin jured. The freight depot and the Masonic null, both large buildings, are total wrecks, while the whole colored section is almost literally (swept from the earth. Two i church steeples were blown down and 1 two churches unroofed. The high school building and jail were considerably dam aged. Altogether there were about seven ty-five houses completely demolished and 118 more or less damaged. Few buildings escaped uninjured. The trees and most of the shrubbery in the city was blown down and the streets were tilled with debris. Business was entirely suspended. The loss ; is roughly estimated at *100,000. old i citizens say that it was the most terrible ! storm ever known in Victoria. The tele- I graph wires are all down and there is no ' connection south of here. News from Cuero says the storm was very disastrous to property there. Also,! advices from the country say the storm was ; very violent, damaging crops and destroy- I ing property. A special train from Indianolabrings the i sad news .as to that place. A relief party ; that went down on it makes the following report: When the train arrived within four miles of Indianola the tracks were I washed out very badly and were partly gone. The party walked within ! half a mile or’ the town in water ' Waist deep and could go no further. They * Mr. Clements across the bayou.

While ding at this rapid rate the engineer saw the Hagerstown accommodation standing on the track ahead of him waiting to follow his train up to the depot. He at once endeavored to check ! the speed of the express by putting on the air brakes, but they would not work, a...! in a moment bis engine went crashing into the accommodation, hiully wrecking the locomotive of the Hagerstown train and driving the tender through tlie front of the biiggago car. The passengers in both trains wore much shaken and bruised, and six or eight persons were injured, but there was no loss of life. A German Paper That Unqualifiedly En dorses It.

The II,|s New York Qi'auantim:, August 21. Tlie water is covered with yachts and as they dart about under the inilmmce of a -Irniig breeze the bay presents a beautiful sight. Then* is quite a heavy sea running in the outer bay and the wind is reported to be blowing at the: rate of twenty milt*.? an hour at Sandy Hook. The sky is clear and the day is perfact for yac hting. Four large sloops approached tin* starting line a tew minutes after 10 o’clock and at 10:1;) the May dower and Puritan crossed the line and started qjt’ on the first trial race for the honor of defending thequeen’seup agains. the Englishman. At 10:12 the \tlantie and Priscilla crossed the line with the At lautic, slightly in the lead. The Atlantic rounded the spit buoy at 11:33, the Priscilla at 11:33, the May Flower at ll:3iP and the Puritan at 11; 10. At 11:55, after rounding ritan got. bridge should have a train there very early in the every body wanted to gc morning, away. They ! clothes. It is reported that the lower end of the town is gone from Mrs. Logue.s to the ice house on both sides of the street. The wharf is also gone. There arc sup posed to be many lives lost, as many per sons are missing. The only body ‘found was that of a sister-in-law oi' Mr. Hodges, oi'Cutr >, Texas. Jt was discovered this side of a stream, about two miles from town, lying in water on the side of the track. Some houses were burned. The tire is supposed to have been caused by lamps in the falling houses. Among the persons missing arc Dr. Lewis, Captain Revel, Dr. Roscneranz, Mrs. Shep pard and family, and Mrs. Hodges and two children. Henry Sheppard was found across the lake badly bruised, but still alive. Mrs. Max Luther lost her two chil dren. One of them died in her arms. Galveston, Texas, August 21. — The schooner Livonia Perkins, of about 40 tons burthen, engaged in the lumber trade, was capsized by the force of the gale about 9 o’clock Thursday night, off the bar, in six fathoms of water. There were four per sons on board—Capt. John Mitchell, Mari ano Maragos, a seaman, and Pritchard, the cook. When the vessel went over Pritchard seized a small barrel, but was forced by the action of the waves to let it go. Swimming with tiie tide, lie crossed the east end of the island, through what is known as the hospital channel. When he reached a point abreast of the new wharf he hailed the steamer S. T. Maddox, which was moored there, and succeeded in making his way to the wharf where lie was helped ashore. The distance swam by i Pritchard from the place where the I schooner was swamped to the point of his j rescue must be nearly ten miles. All , tne oil lei's of the crew of the ill-fated craft 1 perished. This, and the drowning of the' m gro boy on Thursday, are the only in- j stances of loss of life so far re- j port-d. Several sin ail fishing boats , and yachts anchored along the wharves were swamped, hut no serious damage \vn done to the shipping in port. Much uppre- liension is felt, 1iowlv*t, for the brig I ’lie j of the Bay, from >i . .» York, which arrived j in the outer /(Kids Thursday afternoon, j She lias disappeared from her anchorage, | and if is Imped that her captain, who is familiar with the coast and its weather. ; Stood out to sea as the gale increased in violence, and that the vessel will 1 turn up all right in a few days. While this storm docs not compare with the great storm of If.75 in violence and destructiveness, the water was much higher, and covered a greater portion of theeity. All the street, railways are badly damaged, and that portion alone the line of the beach is completely de stroyed. The street pavement is washed up, bridges and culverts arc gone, and the damage done in this direction is heavy. A just estimate of the damage cannot be made until the storm shall have abated. Many families have lost their nil and are destitute. It is thought b\ conservative men that the L>:-s will reach’ fullv .-*200,000, and perhaps more. Telegraphic communication was inter rupted at 3 a. m. yesterday, but was re stored at 5 a. m. Railway communication which was broken at midnight Thursday night has not been restored in consequence of the dangerous condition of the bridges across West bay. Victoria, Texas, August 21.—In tell i- : has just been received from Indiano- t a fire broke out there yesterday •the heavy storm, destroying every building except two on both sides of the street from and including the signal office to the Villcnueve corner, (’apt. Reed, sig nal officer, and Dr. Roscnoranz were crushed .and burned in the signal office. Dr. Lout is missing and is supposed to have been lost. The Knapp family, Mrs. Shepard and her children and a sister-in-law of D«*. Hodges, nl Cuero, were reported to b. missing. Thu water is said to have inun dated the town worse than during tne great storm of 1875. The railway track is washed away for two and one-half miles this side of indianola, render-ini' 0011111111- nieation extremely difficult. A party from this city was compelled to wade that dis- tance in order to reach the town. Great excitement prevails here, and a relief party started for Indianola this morning. Last evening the body of a young woman, supposed to be that of Dr. Hodges’ sister-in-law, was discovered alongside tlie railroad track by. a party who went down on a special train. Thy dead bodies of two of Mrs. Luther’s chil dren were also found. This town and Ci to suffered disastrously by yesterday s stoim. Houses were unroofed, steeples blown down, houses flooded and shrubbery destroyed, but fortunately no lives were lost. ' Almost :i s< r!o«e< Accident. Washington. August 21.—What might have been a serious accident occurred to* dav on the Metropolitan branch of tne Baltimore and Ohio railroad where it crosses M street in this city. I he Chicago express came around 1h f * / !! t usual rapid rate of speed, and coming upon gence he fa that during 1 buildim the spit, they tacked and the Puritan in a position which has put her in second place. The Atlantic is near the point of Sandy Hook, the Puritan second, the May Flower third and the Priscilla last. New York, August 21.—To-day’s race, the first of’ a series of trial contests to de termine which of our sloop yachts shall meet the Brutish cutter Gulden in Septem ber, resulted in a victory for the new sloop Mayflower. She beat the Puritan by 11 minutes and VI seconds over a forty mile course. She also defeated the Atlantic 10 minutes and 51 seconds, and the Priscilla 18 minutes and 20 seconds, and made the fastest elapsed time over the course. The Atlantic defeated the Puritan by 20 seconds a id the Priscilla by 7 minutes and 38 seconds, while the Puritan beat the Priscilla 7 minutes and 10 seconds. The Atlantic was first across the line at 10:12.07, Cap'. Joe Klsworth at t he. vrneel, the Puritan next, only 43 seconds behind, with Commodore J. Malcolm Forbes steer ing her; then the Priscilla, steered by Com modore \. * 'ass Canfield, at 10:13.20, and the Mayflower, under Captain Martin Van Buren Stones’ guidance, bringing up the rear at 10:14.20. The course was to and around the buoys 10 and 8 : , thence around Sandy Hook lightship and return to the finish off buoy 15, thence passing between it and the judges’ boat lying to the eastward of it. The handsome quartette of racing crafts were ably manned. Their course from the start to Sandy Hook was against the flood tide, and from there to the light ship it was a dead beat to the windward. A great improvement in the Atlantic’s sailing was noticeable from the first.. Accompanying the sloops were the steam yachts F.iectriu, Liguon, Stranger, Ocean Gem, Vision, Empress, and the sailing yachts Dauntless, Espirits, Myriand. Gala- tea, Estelle and twenty-two tug boats and other craft. The time made to buoy ten by each yacht was: Atlantic, 1:17:19: Pris cilla, 1:19:20: Puritan, 1:23:15: Mayflower, 1:20:44. As soon as llie Mayflower felt the long ocean swells, she begun to out- foot the others. Slu* had been steadily overhauling the Puritan for some lime and a 1 exactly 12 o’clock.'When about two miles southwest of Sandy Hook she passed her to the windward. She then made a play for her only antagonist, the Atlantic. Capt. .'tone, of the Mayflower, put the s';oop about five seconds ai'ier iiis- rival, and though on the Atlantic’s lee quarter it that time, she walked out to the windward oflier in ten minutes, cross ing her bows, and took first place in tin- contest. V n n the May'loWt i tacked the i,.-xt tine* at 1237 she was Lilly n mile to the windward of tlm Atlantic and traveling like a race hurst for gval.

Lieut, lfeini, watching the Mayflower from the judges’ boat, said. “Hint boat's eight minutes around the light ship and has no spennaker set yet. That wouldn’t do in my ship.” The Mayflower and Puritan set their spinnakers to the starboard, while tin* other two set Lheir’s out to the port, making a pretty picture. The Mayflower's split about lea feet from the foot up w lien off buoy 1. The Priscilla’s also split, bet both held on and the positions of uii changed but 1 it11<* on the run home to the finish. Tin- President Mid HP l‘inl>. Pm Si’ivT Lake, N. Y., August 21. -Tin president and party went dow n tin* lake to-day in a sniali steam launch. Trolling line and Winchester rifle were carried along, but did little service, so much more enjoyable than fishing or shooting was a sail among the islands. Lunch was served at the lower end of the lake, eight miles distant and the excursionists returned .it H o'clock, after a thoroughly enjoy able day. To-night a german is in progress in the parlors of the S.wanna Inn under the management of Miss Jean nette Cutter, of Boston, Miss Henrietta Warner, of New York, Miss Albert, of Germantown, Pa., and Capt. J. B. Currs. of Indianapolis. A committee waited upon Mrs. Cleveland at the log cabin and invited her to be present, an invitation which she promptly accepted. The litile church Ikick on Liu: hill will be opened for service to-morrow and the president’s party will probably attend. Kifh'il by :• I’m in. PiTTsnrKG, August 21.—Andrew Sutton and A. Diehl, aged 28 and 25 resp< olivary, were found dead on the Pennsylvania rail road, one mile cast of Liily station, this mornimr. Diehl was literally cut to pieces, portions of hir body being found scattered for half a mile along the track. Sutton Chicago, August 21. -The Illinois Slants /icitung, in its leading editorial to-day, j says: "The great American republic lias unnouiKH d to the whole world, the mouths of twelve honest men in Chicago, that free dom is not synonymous with the ovei t brow of the principles of a well ordered govern- 1 incut and social states, and that it under- ! stands how to protect true American free- j doni against that contemptible Eli- j ropcan outgrowth, anarchy. The saddest j thought lor us German Americans is! I he fact that a majority of the men who ! through the terrors of llayniarket have | brought upon themselves the contempt and anger of the entire republic of our j fatherland and the home of our ohiMren j are Germans. Of course a majority of the j American people have become convinced that the anarchists form a very small ; minority ol’the German-American element I and is totally foreign to it. The j judicial denunciation of anarchy in America will prove a most potent, influence upon the American and ! Germ in American workingmen. Through 1 the strong decision of twelve jurors in i Chicago, the great American ’working- : men’s movement in its h gal and justifiable strife for the ennoblement and dignity • »!' , labor Inis been freed from tin* fearful and ' bloody oppression beneath which it has suffered since the 4th ol’May. Tin* Mnuien Met. Chicago, August 21.- -There was a meet- , ing last night of all the female relatives of the sentenced anarchists. They were re- i i inlbivod by men from all parts of the city, and Miss Spies subsequently said that over 4900 was subscribed to a fund to carry the ' ease to the supreme court. Miss Spies said : “We have been watched and hounded by detectives and newspaper men until we arc nearly harrassed to death, but we got away with them all this time and had our meeting. The law may beat • us by Judge Gary’s ridings and by special ! picas made by Mr. Grinncll, but the su preme court never will endorse or rule the ' sunn wav. Judge Phillips and others have told us that. Think of my brother being hanged when he was only trying to ci.> the best he could l.o help the workingmen. 1 It was reported that Mrs. 1 Mines made an energetic pica to the meeting in favor of awaiting Ihe decision of the supreme court. The. women said they had no fears of starvation or being dcstrained for rent, as the oppressed of all nations would come to their succor. When the meeting dispersed il was an early morning hour and the : women all embraced and declared they ! would stand together. W. H. Parsons, brother of the condemned 1 anarchist, said to a reporter last eight that tlie ease would be carried to the supreme court of the United States it necessary. It is very well understood that a leading 1 exception will be the refusal of Judge Gary to give for tin-defense the instruction which gave to ail men the right to peace ably assemble and to repel by force any at- 1 tempt either by the authorities or private individuals to break up such meetings. If the state’s supreme court overruled them Ion this point, they will appeal to tin* ! United States supreme court on the ground that the question is a constitutional one. Grill Hell I uP*n tewed.

Should this he done, merely as an act of clemency on the part, of the Mexican authorities, and without any 1 avowed renunciation of the claim of extra territorial jurisdiction, this government will then undertake the task of securing such renunciation so far as American citizens are concerned, since the claim is held to he abhorrent to all principles of modern international law as recognized and practiced hy the governments which make any pretense to civilization.

The watchman heard the struggle and came to the rescue. The murderer turned at bay and fought both men des perately. He w as a powerful fellow, and pressed his antagonists so hard that it was necessary to shoot him. The watchman sent a bullet into Verlmines’ head and he succumbed. The ball entered back of the ear and ranged around the rear of the skulk He was taken to the depot and put aboard a car, the officer in charge taking a seat at the rear. Verlmines now fell into a heavy stupor, rested his head on the seat, and with folded hands and closed eves seemed lo he in a semi-comatose state. No idea was entertained that the wounded and hund-culTed prisoner would attempt to es cape. The train had nearly reached Guthrie, when the apparently half-dead murderer made a convulsive spring for liberty through the open w indow. Tin* deed was done in a moment. 'The train was running at the rate of twenty-live miles an hour when the des- ; perute criminal plunged head-foremost to wards the earth. The brakeman said Ver- haines tell on his shoulder. He jumped to his feet as if unhurt and ran like a deer for the dense woods which lined the road, into which he disappeared. The train was • stopped as soon 11s possible and the guard (started to look for his man. lie did not • find him and returned tn the train, lie got off ai Guthrie to form a posse and search for the murderer.

When the hank statement appeared it showed only a small decrease in the surplus reserve, which relieved any apprehensions which may have been felt on the score of further stringency in money, and the other changes were re garded as the outcome oflegi tim.itc trade There was a firmer market during t he af ternoon, but very little feature outside of Lackawanna, wfiicli was bought for inside account, making a material advance dur ing i he day, and Memphis and Charleston, and Nickel IMate stocks, which advanced sharply on light trading.

'I hey were stopped by Verlmines, who commanded his wife to go home with him. She refused, and he opened lire on the party with two revolvers, firing ten shots, oik* of which struck Mrs. Verlmines in the left side, near the heart. Another shot .struck Mis*- Keats in the thigh, making a fatal wound. Keats’ team became ul- ilaeuig th • p.ntv cntirel r at New York, August 21. Michael J. Sto- ren, a bricklayer of No. 102Seeond avenue, ca!fi d at the district-attorney’s office to day and narrated a sad story. Kdward Smit Ii, of No. 1030 Tenth avenue, accom panied Storen and corroborated every .statement, made by him. Storen’s story is us follows: “t’p to last spring 1 was at work at the bricklayer's trade and was en abled to support my wife and three chil dren decent ly. I belonged to Bricklayers’ l’nionNo.2, but with a number of other iiicml>* i*s, I left the union because the officers were using the funds as they saw- lit. Finally L’nioii No. 7 was organized out of the ofii one, with the same olticers and on the same basis. Most of the old mem bers went into the new association, but w hen I .applied for membership I was black-balled. Three black balls out of IsOd members were sufficient to snut a man out.

The walking delegate of the union informed Foreman Flanagan that I would pay the union *25 or stop working. The foreman ol!’rr»*<l the union >50 to be per mitted to keep me at work, but the dele gate said if I was not discharged every man on the wall would quit work. I was laid off, and since then, although I have begged and prayed lor work, the union will not let me handle a trowel anywhere. Six weeks ago my little baby die d of priva- tation, and my wife and two children are now suffering for the necessaries of life. I think it is hard that in a free country when a man is young, healthy and willing to work, he cannot provide bread lor his family because the union decrees other wise. A Disabled Schooner.
