DISASTERS OF THE STORM.
Thirty Eight People Known to Have
Perished - Terrible Destruction of
Property.

FORTH WORTH. Aug. 90.
From Indianola comes the saddest news vet
reported about the storm. During the height
of the storm the signal Office was blown
down. corrying with it Capt. l. A. Reed,
signal officer, and DR.. H. Rosencrans, both
of whom were lost.
Fire broke out among the ruins, which ex
tended for blocks on both sides of the street,
destroying thirteen houses, among which
we're d. II. Reagan's large dry goods store,
and DR.. Lewis's extensive drug establish
ment. DR.. Lewis was in the building at the
time it took fire. He escaped being burned
to death, but was subsequently, drowned, his
body being found yesterday. So far as can
be learned fourteen white people we're killed.
and the bodies of ten colored persons have
been found. Four miles of the track is
washed away, rendering it impossible for
trains to approach Indianola.
There is much destitution among the poorer
classes, who have lost everything they pos
sessed. The depth of water is reported as
great as it was during the great storm of rs.
when Indianola lost nearly two hundred of
er citizens. Friday, the flood of water over
the doomed town was so rapid than within two
hours altar the first apprehensions were felt,
every street was submerged many feet. At
San Antonio the loss is 100000 Never be-
fore was the lower Texas coast visited by so
terrible and destructive storm. 1t extended
for 200 miles inland, destroying thousands of
houses and involving pecuniary loss of many
millions. Among the poorer classes great
desolation must prevail, as few were able to
save any considerable portion of their small
possession. from the general wreck.
The entire crop of the present year is
practically gone and a vast deal of suffering
must ensue, especially among the negroes,
most of whom are without means of any kind.
1t is feared that many more people were
drowned at Indianola. The lower end of the
peninsula is completely washed away. Many
people are missing and nothing definite can
be learned until the waters recede. The
storm came in the shape of hurricane. The
waters of the Gulf rose up and in three hours
the whole peninsula on which Indianaola is
situated was under ten feet of waite. The
total loss as now known to Texas from the
Gulf storm is Human lives 38. Loss to
crops 81 ,000. 900. Loss to city and town
property 90. 400, 900. Loss to shipping and
harbor improvements $500, 200.

sOme Fast TrottinR.

The event of the week was the trotting at
the park on Friday and Saturday. Two more
perfect days for snch an occasion seldom if
ever occur. This, added to the energetic
and indefatigsble exertions of the owner and
manager of the park, Mr.. A. F. Gerald, en-
abled the three thousand visitors in attendance
to witness one of the finest exhibitions of
trotting ever seen in Maine. There was
large list of entries and nearly all started
there being nine or ten horses in each of
several races There was good attendance
and good trotting on Friday, but this was
wholly eclipsed on Saturday when four con-
secutive heats, in the free for all race, were
tr0tted in 2.30 or better. The interest Of the
spectators was kept up bv very fast heats be-
tween the races; Maud X. owned by Hon. s.
A. Nye, showing mile on both Friday and
Saturday in better than 26. The four year
old stallion Lawrence, was also driven a fast
mile, although, owing to adverse circumstan-
ces he did not quite equal his recent perform
ance of a mile in 2.28. A running horse
from Lewiston made mile in l.551, a per-
formance which greatly delighted the large
crowd OF spectators. In the tree for all race
op Saturday, there was an extremely spirited
contest between Gilbreth Maid of Lewiston and
Surprise of Pittsfield each taking two heats
and trottIng NTH dead neat, ,after the shades
of evening were fast becoming actual dark

divided between them. Ii is extremely graft
fying to record so successful a result of man

hibition of trotting by the best horses in
