GALVESTON, Tex, Aug 81.
All street railways are badly damaged and
that portion along the line of the beach is
completely destroyed. The street pavement
is washed up, bridges and culverts are gone
and the damage done in this direction is
heavy. A just estimate of the damage done
cannot be made until the storm shall have
abated. Many families have lost their all
and are destitute while others have lost but a
portion of their effects, 1t is thought by
conservative men that the loss W i'll reach fully
$500, 900 and perhaps more. Telegraph
communication was interrupted at 5 A. NJ,
but was restored at 8. A. NJ. Railroad COM
munication. which was broken at midnight
Thursday night, has not been restored in con-
sequence of the condition of the bridges.
VICTORIA, Tex, Aug. 81.
A disastrous wind storm visited this city
Thursday, leaving destruction and desolstion
in its track. The wind blew perfect hur-
ricsne. About o'clock in the morning the
east bound passenger train which was stand
ing at the depot was blown over on the plat
form. Several passengers were on the train
but all escaped uninJured. The freight depot
and Masonic Hall, both large buildings, are
total wrecks. The whole colored section of
the town is almost literally swept from the
earth. Two church steeples were blown
down and two churches unroofed. The high

damaged.
Altogether there were about rs houses
completely demolished aud Is more or less
damaged. Few buildings escaped uninjured.
Trees and most of the shrubbery in the city
were blown down and the streets were filled
with debris. Business was entirely suspend
ed. The loss is roughly estimated at $780,
600. Old citizens say it was the most terrible
storm here. Telegraphic wires are all down
and there is no connection south of here.
News from Cuero says the storm was very
disastrous to property there also. Advices
from the country say the storm was very vio-
lent, damaging crops and destroying prop
erty.
A special train from Indisnola brings the
news that relief party report that when the
train arrived within four miles of Indianola
the tracks were found to be washed very bad
ly and partly gone. The party walked with
in half a mile of the town in water waist
deep and could go no further.
People have nothing to eat and no clothes.

MAINE DISPATCHES.
FROM THE CAMP GROUND
Closing Exercises of the Methodi.t Csmn.

I~FN~~A ~ thC hCHHeDec journal,
RICHMOND, Aug. 81.
Last evening, Rev. d. J. Griffin, evange-
list, OF the South N. Z. Conference. preached
an effective discourse which was followed by
melting altar service. The best part of the
campmeeting services have not been noted as
yet IN the reports, which is the immediate
reaplng the benefit of the preaching, which
mas been done under the skilful leadership of
Presiding Elder E. T. Adams, assisted by
DIR. Daniels, d. j. Griffin and other minis
ters Quite number of conversions have
been the result and the entire Christian BODY
nave been very much quckened oy coming
to the altar, applying the advice contained in
the sermons and seeking the divine blessing.
The presiding elder, by other engagements,
left the ground today, leaving the meetings
in charge of Rev. 6. r Palmer of Augusta.
The morning sermon of today was delivered
by DR.. Stephen Allen, from Heb. w :l5.-For
we have not high priest which cannot be
touched with the feeling of our infrmties,
etc The sermon was very touching dis
course how Jesus is able to sympathize with
us through his own physical and mental .uf-
ferings and having been tempted in all points
like as we, he is high priest, which can be
touched with our infrmites. The high priest
offered the sacrifice. Jesus, our high priest,
offered himself sacrifice.
In the afternoon Thos. Jones of Berwick
preached from Gen. v:24-"And Enoch
walked with God, and he was not, for God
took him." The speaker contrasted the two
who walked together, God and Enoch. God
walked ith his followers now and his follow
ers enjoyed the same communion with God
that Enocb did. Walking with God is loving
him, keeping his commandments, keeping his
words. The profit of walking with God was
dwelt upon at some length.

or twenty sought for heart purity. Most of
them testified that the work was done and
they were consecrated to the service of the
Lord. At noon missionary meeting was
held in the tabernacle and meetings were held
in the several chapels.
In the afternoon Rev. G. r. Palmer of
Augusta preached powerful and impressive
discourse, one of the ablest of the camp
meeting. taking for his text Matthew X: 81
"He that loveth father or brother more than
me is not worthy of me; and he that loveth
son or daughter more than me is not worthy
of me-" The claims of God on our hearts
affection are based on Gods love and good
ness and what he has done for us. If we can
get an adequate idea of Gods character then
we can love him.
The evening closed the meetings. A short
sermon was delivered by DR.. Chas. Allen,
followed by sacred service. Excursion
trains and steamers brought large numbers
to the grounds during the day.

A HUMAN BRUTE.
Old Daughter from Home for Refusing
to Consent TO Illicit Relations with him.

NEWPORT, X. l., Aug. 20
Horace Carlisle, well known citizen, was
arrested today, charged with crimnally
assaulting his eighteen-year-old daughter.
The girl complained to the police last night
that she had been driven from the house by
her father, and upon being questioned con-
fes.ed that il was because she refused to con-
sent to illicit relations with him. Some three
weeks since her father forcibly violated her
person, and has endeavored since to have her
submit to his wishes. This the girl resolute-
ly refused to do, and her election from home
was the result. She also stated that her
mother tried to induce her to occupy the
same room with her father and herself.
Carlisle pleaded not guilty and was held
without bail The mother of the girl cor
roborated her story, the girl making a sworn
statement.
