Prison-K Keeper BurkhoIders a;iO Gait.

Prisou-Keeper Burkholder was badly fooled
on Monday afternoon. The water committee
and invited guests went to the water works
in omnibuses and Keeper Burkholder was
standing on East King street when tho buses
were driven out that street He concluded
that grand jurors were in the buses and, as
1t was something unusual for the grand Jury
to visit the prison on Monday, the prison was
not In proper shape The Keeper hurriedly
visited cigar store, purchased box OF
cigars and went out East King street at
a 2:40 gait. He was almost out of breath
when he reached his castle and gave
directions 10 have the prison put in
order, as the grand jury were at the aims
house and would soon be at the prison. The
keeper waited all afternoon for the grand in
quest TO put in an appearance and towards
evening he made inquiries and learned that
the buses were occupied by the members of
the water committee. The joke was too
good to keep and leaked out yesterday. 1t
you want to get the keeper off, ask him about
the grand jury's visit to the prison ON Mon
day.

The Town of Sabine Pass Entirely De-

A dispatch of the 18th giving details
of the recent storm In Texas, says:
"The town of Sabine Pass was totally
destroyed by the water of the Sabine
River on the night of the 18th. There
are known to be sixty-f lives lost.
During the overflow hotel with fifteen
Or twenty people in it was swept out
into the bay and every one OF the in
mates drowned. The captain of q
schooner from there says that not
g. house is left in the whole county
and every person living there was
drowned. A party of men came
from Beaumont this evening on g.
train with the intention of joining
the people of Orange and GO
ing down to Sabine Pass with
q relief boat" Sabine Pass is situated
on the Gulf coast in Jefferson County,
Tex, at the mouth of the Sabine River,
about sixty-six miles northwest of
Galveston. Before this calamity it
was g. hourishing village of about 500
Inhabitants. The wires have been
down all day on both sides of Orange
Sabine Pass is twelve miles below
Beaumont. Reports received from
Port Eads state that the storm played
havoc with the sea wall of the jetties
at the mouth of the river. Many of
the blocks weighing several tons each
were torn from their position and
washed from their foundations. This
wall is on the outside of the jetties and
was erected as protection to them
SO far as is known and believed the
Jetties themselves are uninjured, and
the channel is clear.
The following incomplete list of the
drowned was obtained from the gentle
men who came over on the engine:
Miss Mahata Chambers; Jim Vonsey
and family of six; Mrs. Otto Brown
and two children; Homer King, wife
and child; Mrs. Junker and son; Mrs.
Pomeroy and family of five; Mrs.
Stewart, daughter and son; man

Columbus Martee and family; about
twenty-five colored people whose

list comprises over fifty human beings,
victims OF the storm, among them some
of the leading families of the place
There are others, and many of them
doubtless, drowned without any one
now living knowing anything about it.
1t is feared that whole families in dill
ferent parts of the place have been

GRANT ALLEN, who lately spent a
few months in this country, says in

of America are "barbarous, in the
sense of leading a life that is destitute
of almost all the conveniences and ap
planes of civilization. They lead a
life of unceasing toll in spacious soil
tudes, laboripg all the year round
without the stimulus of society or the
privileges of conversation What
they need evidently is the highly civil
lied and luxurious life enjoyed by the
Irish and Welsh tenant farmers or the
Scottish crofters.

English system of having all books ex-

Such an arrangement would doubtless
tax the ingenuity of the American en-
bezzler, but there is nothing like good
