ady of the American nation, and

is the grand specific for this great
American disease, because it goes
straight to the source of the weak
ness, building up health and
strength by supplying rich, abund
ant food and pure mood to the
worn-out tissues, rousing the liver
to activity and regulating all the
organs of the body.

HUNDREDS OF LIVES LOST
Great Tidal Wave Sweeps Over
City of Galveston, Texas.
SCENE OF WRECK AND RUIN
Qovernor Sayers Estimates Loss
of Life at About Three Thou
sand-Stories of Death and
From Various
hther Points.
A special from Houston, Texas,
state that the "West Indian storm which
reached the gulf coast Saturday morn
ing wrought sad havoc in Texas. Re
ports are conflicting, but it is known
that an appalling disaster visited the
city of Galveston, where, it is report
ed, a thousand or more lives have
been blotted out and a tremendous
property damage incurred. Meager
reports from Sabine Pass and Port
Arthur also indicate a heavy loss of
life, but these reports cannot be con
firmed at this hour.
“The New York World of Monday
printed the following:
“Austin, Tex., September 9. —
Information has just reached me
that about 3,000 lives have been
lost at Galvestion, with enormous
destruction of property.
“No information from other
other points. Jos. D. Sayers,
“Governor.”
CONFIRMATION OF GREAT DISASTER.
A Rpecial to The Memphis Commer
cial-Appeal from New Orleans says
that advices regarding the awful ef
fects of the storm which has been rag
ing along the gulf coast of Texas are
just beginning to arrive, and the story
they tell is fraught with horror. First
in importance is the news that Galves
ton was struck by a tidal wave, and
that the loss of life there was between
2,500 and 3,C00. The water is fifteen
feet deep over Virginia Point. Every
effort is being made out of New Or
leans to get telegraphic or cable com
munication with the wrecked city, but
to little avail. One message was re
ceived Sunday eveniug fixing the loss of
life at 2,600. It came by cable from
Vera Cruz and was later confirmed in
a general way.
Great damage and considerable loss
of life is reported along the line of the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas railroad.
There is much anxiety about the Sa
bine Pass and Port Arthur.
The last news received from Sabine
Pass was Saturday at noon, and at that
hour the town was entirely sun ound
ed by water. The storm had not then
reached its height, nor had the tidal
wave which is reported to have swept
over Galveston, been announced.
However, at the time the last report
was sent ont the people w ere fleeing to
the highlands for safety, and it is
hoped that they may have found
refuge in time. Port Arthur is not
so exposed to the waves as Sabine, but
the damage there is believed to have
been great.
Telegraph wires were down at Port
Lavaca, Rockport, Aransas Pass, Cor
pus Christi and Brownsville, on the
lower coast, and grave fears were en
tertained regarding the safety of the
inhabitants of those towns.
APPEAL FOR HELP SENT OUT.
A dispatch to The Chicago Chroni
cle from Sau Antonio, Texas, says
that the startling news has just flashed
over the wires informing Governor J.
D. Sayers that a messenger, at great
risk of his liTfe, has just reached Vir
ginia Point from Galveston with the
report that 2,500 are probably dead as
a result of the fearful storm.
An urgent appeal to all Texas is
made for help. The messenger said
that the grain elevators ak the water,
front are wrecked aud hundreds of
buildings have collapsed or were car
ried ont to sea. The greatest distress
is said to prevail.
DEAD BODIES ON PRAIRIE.
The following telegram was received
from Houston by The Dallas News:
FOOD SCARCE IN PEKIN.
, t
Partial Withdrawal of Trimpi Recom
mended By Commander*.
Tbe British, American, Japanese
and Russians are posting proclama
tions in Pekin defining the jurisdic
tion of their respective districts for
the preservation of order, promising
protection to the inhabitants and in
viting resumption of business for
the purpose of restoring confidence.
A scarcity of food seems inevitable,
owing to the fact that no produce is
arriving, and the various generals have
accordingly recommended a partial
withdrawal of the troops before winter
sets in because of the difficulty of pro
visioning them.
“Relief train just returned. They
could not get closer than six miles of
Virginia Point, where tbe prairie was
covered with lumber, debris, pianos,
trunks and dead bodies. Two hundred
corpses were counted from the train.
A large steamer is stranded two miles
this side of Virginia Point, as though
thrown up by a tidal wave.
“Nothing can be seen of Galveston.
Two men were picked np who floated
across to tbe mainland. They say -they
estimate the loss of life up to the time
they left at 2,000.”
The above message was addressed to
Superintendent Felton Dallas and came
from the manager of the Western Union
telegraph office at Houston.
ENORMOUS PROPERTY LOSS.
The estimates of property losses
made by citizens of Galveston was
that 4,000 houses, most of them resi
dences, have been destroyed. Some
business bouses wore also destroyed,
but most of them stood, though badly
damaged.
The city is a complete wreck from
the water front and from the Tremont
hotel. Water was blown over the
islaud by the hurricane, the wind
blowing at the rate of eighty miles an
hour straight from the gulf and driving
the sea water before it in big waves.
The gale was a steady one, the heart
of it striking the city about 5 o’clock
Saturday afternoon and continuing
without intermission until midnight,
when it abated somewhat, although it
continued to blow all night.
a correspondent’s estimate.
A correspondent of tbe Houston
Poet returned from Galveston at three
o’clock Sunday morning. He places
the loss of life at from six hundred to
one thousand. At Virginia Poimt the
houses are all destroyed. The mem
bers of the crew of the relief train re
port four or five colored people drown
ed there and two children of a Mr.
Wright perished. At Dickinson the
buildings have been blown away and
several fatalities are reported.
The hurricane was particularly se
vere at Brookshire, twenty-seven miUs
west of Houston, on the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas railroad. Four dead
bodies were taken from the debris of
wrecked bouses, aud it is believed that
others have been killed. It is report
ed that only four houses are left stand
ing in Brookshire, which was a village
with a population of6oopeople.
Later reports received from Alvin
state that many persons were killed
there. Eleven bodies have been re
covered.
At Seabrook Mrs. Jane Woodstock
was killed by a falling house; Mrs.
Nickelson and Louis Broquet were
drowned. S. K. Mcllhenuy, wife and
daughter aud Mrs. Leroy and two
children are missing. They were
known to have beon in their cottages,
which were destroyed. The dead
body of a sailor was found under a cot
tage.
A report from Chenango says that
eight people were killed.
Not a house in the town of Chappell
Hill escaped damage, aud many were
demolished. Business houses also
suffered and a fine gin is a complete
wreck.
At Brenham the courthouse was
nearly wrecked and the city hall com
pletely so. Every business house and
residence suffered to a greater or less
extent. The fire apparatus is under
the ruins of the city hall and a guard
is maintained for fire duty.
At Guston stores were unroofed and
residences destroyed. At Rock Islaud
the Baptist church was t-‘tally wreck
cd and several residences unroofed.
Forty-two dwelling aud business
houses were wrecked at Wallis.
At Fulshear fifty houses were blown
down. One person was killed near
the town by a falling bouse.
In Hardin county a large amount of
timber was blown down and there was
much damage to property at Village
Mills. No damage was done at Corpus
Christi or Rockport, on the lower
coast.
At Richmond three negroes were
killed by the collapse of a church aud
three odierH were killed nesy there.
STRIKE ORDER WITHHELD.
Walk Out of Anthracite Miners Is [ln
Temporary Abeyance.
The national executive board of the
United Mine Workers of America ad
journed sine die at Indianoplis Sunday
without promulgating a formal in
dorsement of the application of the
miners of the anthracite districts for
permission to strike. At the close of
the session President Mitchell said:
“Thete is practically no change in
the situation since last night. If the
operators do not meet our demands
within a given time the strike will be
ordered upon the indorsement of Sec
retary Wilson and myself.”

Orders have been cabled to General

These orders are uot preparatory

our government has decided finally
upon an immediate withdrawal from
