GAlvEsToN's GALE.

One Hundred and ISfty Dwellings De-
stroyed-Part of the City Under Water
GALVESTON, Tex, Aug. 21.-A Violent
easterly gale began yesterday morning with
the wind blowing at the rate of forty-iives
mixes an hour and increasing in velocity
almost every moment The southern an0
southwestern portion of the city was soon
inundated by water and many families were
driven out and compelled to seek safety
and shelter at the hotels down town, The
street railway along the beach was torn ups
aud the waters of the gulf were soon break
ing over the lower galleries of the Beach
Hotel. Much apprehension is felt for lam
lilies residing at exposed points and for
shipping anchored in the outer roads. To-
ward evening the gale became hUrrf-
cane and the gulf was never seen in,
such q furious mood. Thousands
of people who were obliged to leave.
their homes were unable to remove
their effects, while others were fortunate
enough to construct RATS on which TO trans
port the more valuable of their goods TO,
places of safety. All the portion OF the
city east of Thirteenth street and south of
Avenue l. was under the waves at mid
night Houses along the beach were swept
away bodily. There were many narrow.
escapes of occupants. Some had to swim.
Probably $50 dwellings have been deS--
troyed and scores of others have been,
greatly damaged. In the central part OF
the city only the lower floors of the build
ings were invaded By water. and the mer--
chants saved their goods from damage by
removing them to the upper floors, and thus
prevented great loss. There is a great
deal of suffering among the dis
possessed refugees but every effort is,
being made to aid them. The storm Is q
frightful one and causes general alarm and
confusion. Among the buildings destroyed
are the Beach rink where the State Demo
cratic convention was held and all the build
ings in the interstate drill grounds. The,
total loss will reach 5000, 900. Several re-
tailers on Mechanic, Market and POSt-Office-
and fremont streets suffered considerable.
damage to stock. The water covered the
lower floor of nearly every store on the
south side of Market street between Nine
teenth and Twentieth streets and between
Babb avenue and Twenty-eighth street.

COLONEL GEORGE NOBLE, General
Agent of the Texas & Pacific, at Dallas,
Tex, has received jug of water from
the Texas & Pacific arteSian well at
Peeos City. accompanied by note
from the Superintendent of the Rio
Grande Division to the effect that the
water has been thoroughly tested on
the road and that the engineers pro-
nounce it first rate. The well is 2l3
feet deep, and the water flows from it
at she rate of 1000 gallons per hour.
The water is clear as crystal and has a
slightly bTackish taste, but is good for
drinking purposes. The supposition
is that water can be reached at the
same or probably Il shallower depth
all over the Pecos Valley.

1t has been decided to alter the plans
Of the Garfield monument at Cleve-
land, O., and make it $50 feet in height
instead of 225, as originally designed.
The architect came to the conclusion
that the tower would be too high if eX-
ended 225 feet. The height now pro-
posed will be sufficient to give COM
manding view of the country for miles
around, and when completed the mon
ument will be plainly visible from any
portion of the city. The change will
effect a saving of $4,000. This will be
expended on the interior and in pur-
chasing fine statuary to be placed on
and about the tower.

The prevailing impression at the
Navy Department, according to a
Washington dispatch, is that Secretary
Whitney cOntemplates the reorganiza-
ton of the Navy Department on his
own responsibility, and that this will
be one of his first acts after his return
from vacation. He is of the opinion
under the law he can arrange the
duties of the bureaus as he sees fit as
long as he does not change their desig-
nation. He will appoint paymaster
general and chief naval constructor,
but will transfer much of the work
heretofore carried on under these Off
GERS to other bureaus. Higher officials
of the Navy Department say they are
of the opinion the Secretary will wait
until Congress especially authorizes
him to reorganize, but they seem to
think reorganization at the present
time would add greatly to the efficiency
