the rumOr that Judge Perkins contem-

of the judges friends tell US that this

the wish is evidently father to the

Anyhow, Judge Perkins ought to re.

Galve ston s Great Storm.


GALVESTON, Tex, Aug. 21.-The
schooner Livonia Perkins, of about
40 tons burthen, engaged in the lum-
Der trade, was capsized by the force OF
the gale at about 9 o'clock Thursday
night, off the bar, in eight fathoms OF
water. There were four persons on
board-Capt. John Mitchell, Marlano
Moragos, q seaman, and Cook Prltch-
ard. When the vessel went over
Pritchard seized q small barrel, but
was forced by the action OF
the waves to let it go. Swimming
with the tide, he crossed the east
end of the island through what is
known as Hospital Channel. When
he reached a. point abreast Of the new
wharf he hailed the steamer s. T.
Maddox, which was moored there,
and succeeded in making his way to
the wharf, where he was helped ashore
by Capt. Herman Jopes, Engineer
James Pendergast and others, and
having Invested himself of all his gar
ments, was provided with clothing.
The distance swan by Pritchard from
the place where the schooner was
swamped to the point of his rescue,
must be nearly ten miles. All
the others of the crew Of the
Inflated craft persisted. This and the
drowning of negro boy on Thursday
are the only instances of loss Of life so
far reported. Several small fishing
boats and yachts anchored along the
wharves were swamped, but no serious
damage was done to shipping IN the
port. Much apprehension is felt, how
ever, for the brig Belle Of the Bay, from
New York, which arrived in the outer
roads Thursday afternoon. She has
disappeared from her anchorage,
and it is hoped that her captain, who
is familiar with the coast and its
weather, stood out to sea as the
gale increased in violence, and that
| the vessel will turn up all right in g.
| few days. While this storm does not
compare with the great storm of 1875
| in violence and 5estructiveness, the
water was much higher and covered a.
greater portion of the city. All the
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 dam
age done in this direction
is heavy. An estimate OF the
damage cannot be made until
the storm shall have abated. Many
families have lost their all and are des-
tirute, while others have lost but a
portion. 1t is thought by conserva-
tive men that the loss will reach fully
$500, 600, and perhaps more. Tele-
graphic communication was interrupt
IA at 3 A. NJ, yesterday, but was re-
stored at 5 A. NJ. Railroad communi-
cation. which was broken at midnight
| Thursday night, has not been restored
in consequence of the dangerous con-
!ition OF the bridges across the west

A Tried Remedy for Biliousness.

Those who suffer from disorder or inaction OF
the liver will never get the upper hand of the I'M
ruly organ so long as they use such irrational
remedies as blue pill, calemel and podophyllin
But from the tried and popular medicine, Hos
letters stomach Bitters, they may expect relief
with certainty Of obtaining it. The influence
Of the Bitters upon the great hillary gland is
direct, powerful and speedily felt. The relief
afforded Is not spasmodic, but complete and
permanent. The saIlowness of the skin, furred
appearance of the tongue, Indigestion costive-
ness headache. nausea, pains through the right
side and shoulder, in fact every accompaniment
of the obstinate complaint are entirely and
promptly removed by a course of this inestima.
Bile medicine IN behalf OF which testimony is
constantly emanating from every quarter, and
rom all classes of society.
