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.” fii\PAN‘S xmwies 1 Doctors find A Good Prescription for mankind TVn for fine ren', at fimrjcift*, Oncer,, R-Manrants, .Vtlo.fi. <, General An.re* and Barber* S'..; - Ttirjv s.iv!h |>ain, indito- and prolong 'ife. <> :.V , 'iri.i:_ So null-.- t |. nni.yi. ~n, i;i 3 ' Tm, s.-.ni ,;s and one thousand treu n>" ii* ! >v m’l lo any aiMrr-s on r-i-eit.* of price b, .iic iS,..ins Chemical Cos., 10Spruce St., \okCliy!
