WASHED AWAY.

Sabine Pass was on Tuesday last
visited by q terrible disaster. There
was 4 strong wind blowing and by
2 o'clock the whole town was food
ed and the waves from the gulf
and bay mingled in the streets.
The wind drove huge waves with
irresistible force against the houses
and fences and all began to give
way before them. The people,
terror stricken, sought salty in the
second story Of houses and many
broke through the roofs and crawl
Ing out upon them, looked out
upon the wild waste of water and
prayed for deliverance. The Ca
tastropho was so sudden and unex-
pceted that it found all unprepar-
cd, and nasty scramble to places
of safety was all that could be
done. In an hour after the first
rush of water had taken place sew
eral small frame houses had been
beaten into fragments and washed
away. One or two were known to
be occupied by negroes and all the
occupants were lost. With the dcs-
truction of these smaller houses
the danger appeared to double for
the remainder of the town, for they
had acted as q break water, and
when they were removed the waves
had an open an unobstructed sweep
to the more substantially built
houses in tho centpr of the town.
One house, upon the roof which
several people had taken refuge,
was seen to rise up suddenly as it
tore loose from its foundation,
sway slowly from side to side, and
then fall with crash that almost
drowned the shreiks of the poor
people who were dashed into the
boiling flood. Several such scenes
were witnessed. 1t was impossi-
BILE to obtained anything from the
survivors, who were too intent
upon saving themselves or their
friends 10 take much note of what
was occurring about them. The
whole country below Beaumont Is
flooded. 1t is supposed that fully
fifty lives were lost at Sabine
Pass. A dispatch from Orange
says two brothers named Pomeroy
were picked up by a schooner IN
Sabine lake. They had been in
the water thlrty-six hours. Their
mother and sister, and her two
children were lost. The Pomeryo's
report that fifty lives were lost at
the Porter house where people
had collected as the best place of
safety. 1t went to pieces at 0
o'clock many persons are missing.
Still greater loss is reported from
bayou. Whole families
were swept away. Not house
was left standing within five miles
of the lake. A Lake Charles spc-
cial says the entire gulf coast of
Cameron parish was submerged !
by the storm that water was eight
feet deep at the light house, which
is far inland, and there wa. pracLi-
cally total destruction Of cattle
and crops. ThisIs the same storm
that struck Galveston.
The many friends of DR.. w. c.
Baird, OF Sabine Pass, lately Of
Wesley in this county, will be hap
py TO learn that himself and family
are safe and sound. Ninety lives
were lost by the disaster Many
families lost their all and great dis
trcss exists. !

On Monday the national conven-
ton of distillers, brewers and
wholesale and retail wine, spirit
and beer dealers assembled in Chi
cago. The meeting was quito large
and respectable. The result was
the organization of q National
Authorization party. The chair
man made consecutive speech, he
SAID the liquor interests were be-
ing attacked in every quarter Of
the United States by organizations
of the best intentions and compos-
cd of good people, but whose de-
termination was ultimately to des-
troy tho business and to confiscato
property invested under the laws
of the country. The liquor trade
proposes to stand upon its oonsti-
tutional rights.
