The Secret Bloody Hand.
Was it Suicide or Murder!
Mystery of a Cut Throat.

At half-past IL o'clock P. M. Tuesday. the
dead body of a white man was found at the
reservoir on the ruins of the old Water Works
by school children while at recess, on st.
Thomas, between Richard and Market streets.
Upon close examination it was discovered
that deceased had an ugly cut across the neck,
which started on the, left side and running in
a downward direction.
From appearances the man must have met
with a violent death. Near the body was
found q large sheath knife. There was nc
evidence whatsoever of a scuff1 e. therefore it
is presumed that the man came to his death
by his own hands. As to the identity Of the
unfortunate no clue as yet has been discov-
ered The deceased is about five feet eight
inches high, weight AS pounds, and appears
to be about % or 80 years old. auburn hair
and full beard; had on blue flannel pants and
striped shirt, new socks, screwed CATERS,
Alpine hat, and undershirt new.
Judging from his physiognomy it is sup
posed that he was English. 1t was also sup.
posed that he was sailor. Corporal Labusan,
of the Second, went aboard several ships in
order to discover some clue to his identity,
but without success. The Coroner gives as
his opinion that deceased came to his death
by hi, own hands and, furthermore, that it is
supposed that the cause of the suicide was
from spinal affection, which deceased had
suffered with for many years.

MORE OF THE STORM.
IndianOla Submerged.
Two Hundred Lives Lost.
Matagorda, Corpus Christi and
Rockport Supposed to be
Inundated.

There has been considerable uneasiness
felt by the many friends of those residing at
Indianola since the severe storm, and every
endeavor had been made to procure intelli
gence from them.
One of the Havana steamers, on its way to
Galveston yesterday, was unable to land al
Iodianola yesterday, and therefore crew was
sent out, and found that the town was com
pletely washed away. Over two hundred
lives were lost.
The first of the storm, it seems carried
away the telegraph lines and thus commune
cation between Galveston aud Indianola was
cut Off
Indianola is situated on Matagorda bay and
there is no protection in front of it. It has
about one thousand Inhabitants, and the loss
it seems, is fully one-ffth. Fears are enter
tanned that Rockport Matagorda and Corpus
Christi have suffered.
The following dispatch was received here
this evening:

Chased by n River.

Hanging up my barometer to give it a
few minutes to settle, occupied myself
in collecting resin from the pinon pines,
which were found in great abundance.
One of the principal objects of the climb
was to get this resin for the purpose of
smearing our boats, but had with me
no means of carrying it down. The day
was very hot and my coat had been left
in camp, so had no Innings to tear out,
but it occurred to me to cut off the
sleeve of my shirt and tie it up at one end,
and in this little sack collected about a
gallon of pitch. After taking observations
for altitude, l wandered back on the
rocks tor an hour or two, when, suddenly,
/ noticed that a storm was coming from
the south. l sought shelter in the
rocks, but when the. storm burst, it came
down as flood from the heavens-not
with gentle drops at first, slowly in
creasing in quantity, but as if suddenly
poured from an immense basin. l was
thoroughly drenched and almost washed
away. 1t lasted not more than half an
hour, when the clouds swept by to the
north, and l was in the sunshine again.
In the meantime, discovered better
way of getting down, and started for
camp, making the greatest haste possible.
On reaching the bottom of the side canon
| found a thousand streams rolling down
the cliffs on every side; carrying with
them rcd sand, and these all united in
the canon below in one great stream of
red mud. Travelling as fast as / could
run, / soon reached the foot of the
stream, for the rain did not reach the
lower end of the canon, and the water
was running down dry bed of sand f;
and, although it came in waves several
feet high and fifteen and twenty feet in
width, the sand soaked it up and it was
lost. Wave followed wave and rolled
along and was swallowed up, and still the
floods came from above. found could
travel faster than the stream, 80
hastcned OH TO camp and told the men
there was a river coming down the canon.
We carried our camp equipagc from the
bank to where we thought it would hc
above the water, and then stood by to
see the river roll on to join the Colorado.
