Galveston, Texas.—Man's strength
and skill were pitted aZainst the fury
of the elements and man’ won, when
this city, safely entrenche»d’—' behind
her impregnable 17-foot sea wall,yith
stood, with comparatively trifling -loss,
a tidal wave and hurricane equal in
intensity, and destructive force to the
one which destroyed the city on Sep
tember 8, 1900, b e-
In Galveston and vicinity not a sin
gle life is believed to nave been sacri
ficed, but the material loss is quite
extensive., The hurricane swept the
entire gulf coast with an intensity
and viciousness that has seldom been
equaled in a country where destrue
tive storms are- not unusual.
It had its origin on the Atlantic
coast and swept westward and south
ward, devastating the entire gulf
coast even as far south as Matagorda
Bay.
The hurricane.- struck Galveston
about 11 o’clock Wednesday morning.
The wind, attaining a velocity of near
ly 70 miles an hour, whivped the
treacherous waters of the Mexican
gulf into a fury of destruction. With
the pent-up fury of ten years of hate,
the waves blindly assaulted the grim‘
parapets of stone - which -man had
builded to restrain its attacks. In
vain it hutled its thousands of tons
of water upon the splendid breast
works, Only a feeblé burst of spray
and a little water reached its object
ive and the beleaguered city lay calm
and safe behind the wall,
Outside’ the limits of the. city,where
the wall had not been reared and
where the city had not been elevated,
the waters had their way, but they
wrecked only deserted huts and
abandoned territory,
While the city of Galveston was
held safe,against the fury of the storm
by the ,new government $2,000,000 sea
walls, far out in the gulf, on Tarpon
fishing pier, 7 miles from the city,
where the storm whipped over the
jetty into the bay, ten persons were
washed from the rocky promontories
into the gulf, Those drowned were
members of a fishing party and em
ployees of the Tarpon pier, marooned
on the jatty. Boats were sent to their
assistance, and it was learned that
the house, in which they had sought
refuge had heen washed away.
Three ' spans or sections of the
bridge running from the island on
which t&g city stands to Virginia
Point w e swept away when a barge
was hurled against the piers. This
bridge supported all of the telephone
and telegraph lines running into Gal
veston, “ .
Official bulletins issueéd by theé Unit
ed States weather.burean gave warn
ings of the approaching storm, and
in some measure the shipping was
prepared for it. Before daylight the
storm clouds began gathering in the
south, far out over the waters. :
Every moment the wind increased
in velocity until it had attained.a
maximum of 76 miles an hour, .and
the mereury in the barometer fell
with startling rapidity as the storm
center rushed closer and closer to the
city. The barometer fell as low as
DLAME BUSINESS DEPRESSION,
ldleness Has Become a Habit With
Many.
Washington, D, C.—The recent bus
iness depression had a demoralizing
effect on certain classes of laborers,
according to C. L, Green, inspector in
charge of the New York city branch
of the division of information of the
department of commerce and labor,
who submitted his report for the six
months ending June 30 last, to L, v
Powderly, chief of the division,
The report shows that during the
fiscal year just closed three thousand
eight hundred and twelve men secur
. ed employment in the varfous states
! through information furflished by hig
- OIAMNDIRL. AR
29.56, as against 27.50 when the 1900
storm was at its height,
The waves, rolling high, dashed fu
riously against the massive concrete
sea wall, hurling dense clouds of
spray and spume Into the air, wherg
it was caught by the wind and driven
back across the city in torrents,
Far more rapidly than it had swept
down upon the ecity, the wind sub
sided, With the passing of the storm
the fright of the citizens passed, as
they realized that thelr sea wall,
which had been built at a cost of
$2,000,000, had held fast, and to it they
probably owed their lives and prop
erty,
Rescue parties were sent out onto
the beach, for there it was that th®
storm’ did its damage. Bath houses,
pavilions and booths along the speed
way, as the driveway outside of the
seawall is known, were turned topsy
turvy, the more frail ones being crush.-
ed and splintered by the force of the
wind and waves, ,
Houston, Texas.-—~Other than to add
several hundred thousand to the mon.
etary loss, dispatches from the storm
swept coast sections of Louisiana and
Texas and into the interior for a hun
dred ;miles add but little to that al
ready told of the hurricane, which ri
valed in inteansity the storm of 1900,
The number of killed is conservative
ly estimated at twenty-five, those
mere or less seriously injured twice
as many and the property los sis con
servatively estimated at approximate
ly a million dollars. While belated
reports ‘may add to the list of casual
ties’ and the property damage, other
than to isolated points, communica
tion has been restored,
New Orleans, La.—That the hurri
cane which, swept the gulf coast of
Texas and Louisiana, levied a far
heavier toll in loss of life and prop
erty damage than that at first suppos
ed, was indicated when points which
had been cut off from communica
tion again got in touch with the out
side world.
That the property loss will run into
the millions was made a certainty
when the whole towns which were
not at first believed to have suffered,
were definitely reported to have been
wrecked. Nearly a score of persons
are now believed to have lost their
lives.
NEW RELIGION FOR THE WORLD.
It is Coming Soon, Says Dr. Eliot of
Harvard.
Cambridge, Mass.—Charles W. El
in an address before the Harvard
iot, president emeritus of Harvard,
summer school of theology, prophesied
the advent of a new religion.
“It will not be bound by dogma or
creed,” he said. “Its working will
be simple, but its field of actien lim
itless, Its discipline will be the train
ing in the development cf co-operative
good will. It will attack all forms
of evil, There will be no supernatu
ral element; it will place no reliance
on anything but the laws of nature.
Preveution will be the watchword and
a skilled surgeon one of its members.
“It will not deal chiefly with sorrow
and d(:'ath; but with joy and life.
“God will be so imminent that no
intermediary will be needed. Its
priests will strive to improve social
and industrial conditions. The new
religion will not attempt to reconcile
peoples to present ills, but the prom
ise of future compensation.”
Dirt Flying on Canal.
Washington, D, C.—Substantial pro
gress in canal construction all along
the line is shown by reports coming
to the Washington office of the isth
mian canal commission, Excavation
work by the Americans now approxi
mates 80,000,000 cubic yards, almost
as much as the total quantity of dirt
taken out by the French during the
period they were engaged in opera
tions there., Less than 100,000,000
cubic yards of earth remain to be re
moved from the ditch. Colonel Goe
thals has estimated that the great
watérway will be completed by Jan
navy 1, 1916.
Daughter of Ex-President Taylor Dead
Winchester, Va.—Mrs. Elizabeth
Taylor Dandridge, daughter of Gen
eral Zachary Taylor, twelfth president
of the United States, and sister-in
law of the first Mrs. Jefferson Davis,
died at her home here Sunday, aged
85 years, Mrs. Dandridge was the
third daughter of General Zachary
Taylor, twelfth president of the Unit
ed States, and was born at Fort Snell
ing, Minn., April 20, 1824,
High Heels May Cost Life.
New York City.—Mrs. Arthur W.
Teels, who lives in an apartment
house ‘at 422 West End avenue, fell
thirty feet into an areaway from the
window of her suite, and received in
ternal injuries which may cause death,
Mrs, Teele was wearing high heeled
slippers, and one of them caught in
a rung and threw her forward. The
window was low and she tumbled out.
Left-Handed Trains to Go. .

few days. The switches and signals
are being rebuilt, and all trains will
be run on the right-hand track as
they are on every other railroad of
