Special to the Gazette.
VICTORIA, TEX, Aug. 24.--Additional
news OF the depredations by last Friday's
storm are constantly being brought IN.
The latest reports the loss OF Capt.
William Moore, wife aud 1--WE children
and his brother, Dolph Moore, wife and
three children, the former OF DOMINGO
Bridge and the latter living at Elliott.
They came down the bay on Thursday
on their way 10 visit friends living ON the
peninsula, and that same evening the
party left lndianola and have not been
seen since.
Their vessel, the Dauntless, was found
yesterday drifting in the bay bottom
upwards.
An effort is making to change the
terminus of the Gulf, West Texas & Pa
cifc railway from Indianola to Lavaea,
twelve miles further up the bay.
Lavaca, II will be remembered, was
formerly the gulf terminus Of this road,
but 1t was changed 10 IndiAnola about
fifteen years ago.
The local railroad authorities are said
TO favor the plan, as beyond II Is badly
wrecked for four miles this side OF India
nola, and 1t Will probably require more
material to repair II than the proposed
change OF terminus would cost.
The county seat Of Calhoun county Is
also to be removed to Lavaca, where It
was many years ago.
This may be done by vote OF the
county which will no doubt acQuiesce in
the proposed plan.
SO urgent is the demsnd for carpenters
here that their serviccgare sought at 50
per day.
In about two weeks, Just as soon az the
buildings are sufficiently repaired to be
hsoitable, they will most likely be ready
to take about half that figure.
SAN ANTONIO REVISITED
Special to the Gazette.
SAN ANTONIO, TEX, Aug. 24.-An-
other cyclone, accompanied by rain ana
hail, visited San Antonio this afternoon,
and though It did not last but few mo-
ments, did good deal of damage to fine
plate glass windows and tin roofs.
Many buildings which had not been
repaired from the effects OF fridays
storm were also more or less damaged
by rain.
Five or six thousand dollars viii likely
cover the losses to-day.
The population was more frightened
than hurt fearing second edition of the
big blow OF last week.
Accounts of that storm continue to
come in from the surrounding country,
giving the details OF the damage and
losses.
The cotton crop is almost total loss
in this section, farmers reporting not
boil In the fields.
GALVESTON RELIEF FUND.
Special to the Gazette.
GALVESTON, TEX, Aug. 24.-Private
subscriptions for the relief OF the storm
victims are tagging. 1t is not believed
the fund, outside of the city's appropria-
ton Of $4,000, will exceed $4,000. This
indifference on the part OF wesllh 10 the
sufferiDgs and restitution Of their fellow
citizens is provoking sharp criticism.
The street railway traffic to the Beach
hotel on all the lines will be re-establlshed
by Saturday night.
Much pifering has been in vogue since
the storm by both white and blacks from
the wrecked houses.
