ever known here. Its full fury was dur
ing Thursday. A number OF wrecks are

hensions are felt of an overflow here.
The damage by the gale here is trifling;
none Is reported on the Louisiana coast.
The telegraph lines to Galveston are

the weather is pleasant to-day, but it is
cold enough for frost. No marine disas-
ters reported.
FROM MEMPHIS.
MEMPHIS, Sept. 20.--The heavy rain
storm which has prevailed through the
Lower Mississippi valley for thirty hours
passed Oft toward the northeast. 1t
originated in the Gulf and the rainfall
here and further south exceeded two
inches of solid water. Upland cotton,
open and unpicked in the field, has been
injured in quality and beaten out by the
storm.
In the valleys where it grew ranker
and less forward, very little narm has re-
suited. Cotton is several weeks later
in ripening than last year, owing to mid
summer rains. The receipts Of the new
crop are less than 500 bales here, agains
nearly 5000 bales at the same time last
year. Frost usually appears about the
middle of October. Its advent before
that time will nip the cotton crop and
greatly lessen the yield.
