A DEATH DEALING WIND.

Much Property Destroyed and a Num-
 Der of Lives Lost by the Hurricanes
 in Texas.
 CORPUS CHRIsTy, Tex, Aug. 22-The Nor gan line steamer Clinton from Galveston ar- rived here to-day. Captain Brown reports 8 terrible hurricane on the gulf on Thursday night and Friday morning the Clinton put in at Rockport for safety. The captain says sixteen houses were blown down in Rockport and that the San Antonio and Arkansas pas senger railway was damaged $50,0O0. He re-
 ports that Harbor Island was submerged and
 eight lives lost. Max Luther, manager of
 the Western Union Telegraph company in
 this city, has just been notified that his two children were drowned at Indianola during
 the storm and his wife was rescued with diff
 fculty. The schooner Willie has not yet been heard from.
 GALVESTON, Aug. 22.-The gale and the
 heavy rain ceased at about 10 o'clock on
 Friday night and the danger of further dis
 aster was averted. People who had been
 driven from their homes by the waves at
 once began to repair damages and reft their
 abodes except in cases where the storm had completely demolished the frail structures. Yesterday was clear and pleasant and the waters rapidly receded. The beach was found to be strewn with wrecking of buildings and the houses and hotels that remained standing were in 8 dilapidated condition. All the small buildings, board-walks, false work, etc., connected with the beach hotels were washed away and the foundations of the hotel were partially undermined. The
 menagerie belonging to the hotel grounds was wased away and the birds and animals drowned or killed by falling timbers except two lions, which were shot by watchman
 while escaping. It is estimated that the total l damage by the storm to property is $500.000. The poor are the greatest sufferers, many of | them being made destitute. The street car lines are rapidly being repaired. The sisters
 orphanage was not damaged, as was at first
 reported. The schooner J. w. Perry from Brashier City foundered in l the gale about fifteen miles out Captain Whitmore a1id the colored
 cook were lost. Two colored sailors drifted on spars until they were blown ashore, near ly dead from exposure Willie Brown, aged eleven, was drowned at the foot of Thirty
 third street on Friday. The body was re- covered to-day. This makes ten victims of the storm. Railroad communication with
 the main land has been fully restored. The | bark Herbert with cotton for Bremen was
 obliged to put back on account of the storm and is anchored in the outer roads. She was but little damaged.

CUTTING IN HIS PRISON.
Treated More Like a Guest Than
 Prisoner.

Ife4ted more L1ke Guest Than .
 Prisoner.
 LAWRENCE, Kans. Aug. 22.-Mr. Mans field, long resident in this city who carries on heavy mining operations in old Mexico, Sonora which he left on Tuesday. On We'd nesday he visited Cutting in his cell and says he was treated more like guest than a prisoner. He was lightly guarded, had the best there was in the prison and was held as a sort of prisoner of state. MT. Mansfield thought the Mexican authorities would have been glad had the prisoner effected his escape and would have put few obstacles in his way. Mir. Mansfield said that the war feeling was decidedly on the increase on both sides of the Rio Grande. ''The wsrlike spirit of the Mexicans," :" he continued, ''arises not so much from active hostility to our government and to our people as from their own turbulent condition and the internal dissensions that distract their people and paralyze their gen. eral government. The more intelligent Hexicans, who under other conditions would be opposed to war, rather favor it now, as they think it would tions and make their own people united and harmonious. American citizens are treated shamefully by the States and the general government. Cutting is only the of class. His wrongs are small in mparison with those of others and as consequence there is bad blood against Mexico on this side"

FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

The chapel room in the rear part of this church, on Church street. near the corner of Chapel street, was full at the ser vice last evening, as it had been at the morning service. Familiar tunes and hymns were sung by the choir and congrega- tion very fitly opening and closing the inter esting services. The pastor reminded his hearers that the choir extended clear back to the door, requesting all thus to offer praise and glorify God, encouraging all to sing. Isaiah iv was the chapter read as the first scripture lesson, after which hymn, then 8 second scripture lesson from the gospel of St. John, seventeenth chapter, Christs last exhortation to his disciples was read, the words 'As thou hast sent me into the world, so send you into the world"
 Abiding to his morning sermon, to the virtue received by the afflicted woman from touching Jesus, the speaker said: We all who have felt his touch and received virtue from him are com mmandad to give that virtue to others. For this we live, to save our fellow men, our brothers and sisters lost without Christ. Repent, believe, accept him, then you have this "virtue.n He en- phasized the work of Christ, not only by ex- ample leading, but by taking, touching and healing the infrmities of our fallen natures. Thus we have our commission to go forth into the world to seek and to save the lost. No good comes without cost. The nurse, the physician, have long been schooled in their profession, that their patients may be helped and saved by their healing power. Fervent prayer was made that sincerity and truth may characterize all protesting Christians, especially in the audience present.
 Notice was given of the prayer and con ference meeting next Wednesday night, and on Friday afternoon and evening of the le.- dies prayer meeting and missionary meet ing. Also that on the first or second Sab bath in September services will be held in the auditorium of the church.

 IfOn-G0verAOr Harrison to Arrive
 Tuesday.
 The New Haven military companies will go to the Mantle camp this morning with the rest of the State militia. The local compa- nies will be at the Union depot this morning at 7:30 o'clock, when the special train will carry them to the camping grounds. The only cause of dissatisfaction among the sol dier boys is the fact that they will be again obliged to wear their regimentals.
 Nearly thousand tents are in position and all of them are fitted with floors. There are 237 wall tents for the officers and the re- mainder are for the privates. The camp is arranged this year as heretofore. The enliss- ed troops will be stationed in front with the line and field officers behind. The right of the line at the west of the camp has been assigned to the Fourth regiment, the First and Second will occupy the middle and the left will be held by the Third and the Fifth battalion and the Light battery. The Gov ernor's quarters and the brigade headquar- ters are laid out in two courts directly in front of the center of the line and facing it, on the opposite side of the field. Governor Harrison will arrive in camp Tuesday and will probably stay until Saturday noon.

THE mAYFLOwER,s VICTORY.
First of the Trial Races For the Amer

First of the Trial Races For the Amer
 tca's cup.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-The first of the three trial races to select yacht to sail as the champion of the New York Yacht club against the British cutter Galatea, which has challenged. for the famons Americas cup' was sailed yesterday and resulted in decid- ed victory for the Boston sloop Mayfiower, which beat the sloop Atlantic minutes 51 seconds, the sloop Puritan II minutes Il sec- onds and the sloop Priscilla IS minutes 29 seconds. The test was perfectly fair one, the advantages, if any, being rather with the Mayfower's opponents than with her, and she fairly outsailed them on all points of sailing, going to windward faster, reaching faster and running faster. Her most marked superiority was to windward. In running in from the lightship, although an accident de- prived her of the usa of her spinnaker for portion of the course, her time Is still better than that of any of her competitors, and there seems no doubt but that in moderate weather, such as prevailed during this con- test. she is the best boat. The course led from a line between the committee boat and buoy No. IS, off Owls Head, down to the Southwest Spit buoy and thence out to the Sandy Hook lightship and return to finish off buoy 15. The official time of the start was as follows:

After passing buoy No. 10 sheets were flattened and the four yachts made long board into the bay to cheat the tide, which was still running strong flood. The Atlantic tacked at 11:39, the Priscilla at II :42:3Q, the Puritan at 1f:42:35 and the Mayhower at 11:44:3O. The Puritan, tacking at about the same time as the Priscilla, took position on her lee bow, and at 1:51 the Mayfower came up and passed to windward of the Priscilla, blanketing her and leaving her astern. She then went on after the Puritan and at exactly noon she went by that boat to windward. At 1s:Q7 the Atlantic tackled and the May flower went. about at the sane time, thus bringing thel Atlantic on her weatheF beam, but as the two reached oi on the

port tack the weatherly superiority of the Mayfower was very apparent; she gradually climbed up under the lee bow of the Bay Ridge sloop to position in her course, and then springing her Huff for minute or two, she went out on the weather bow of the black sloop in the most remarkable manner. The Mayf1ower was never afterward headed, and was first at the finish with the Atlantic, Puri tan and Priscilla following in the order named. The result of the race was as fol- lows:

TRINITY N. E. CHURCH.

Rev. c. w. Millen of Brooklyn, N. Y, oc cupied the pulpit at Trinity M. E. church yesterday morning and evening. In the morning he preached very interesting ser mon on the subject of forgiveness. His text was from St. Matthew's gospel, 18th chapter, 21st to the 35th verses, inclusive. The preacher said in substance: This parable teaches lesson of forgiveness. We know how hard it is to forgive enemy. Spirit ual acts are rendered worthless by being counted up. We are each of us under debt to God that we cannot pay. The Lord knew that the servant was actual ly bankrupt and so he remits the whole debt. The sinner is under an infinite debt that he cannot meet, but the parable assures us of ln- finite forgiveness. But the sinner needs to see his true condition and SO God proceeds to reckon with him. How often God has reckoned with you; it may have been in sick ness or at the bed of the dying.
 Secondly, we have the servant reckoning. He went out and laid his hands upon his creditor, took him by the throat and said to him, pay that thou owest; and when he begged for mercy he threw him into prison How the servant could have received for giveness and yet show no mercy himself is mystery. Humanity is never more beauti- ful than when forgiving another, unless it be when asking forgiveness. Am addressing any who find it hard to forgive. I tell you, brother, you are making hard reckoning There is to be final review of all our con- duct after conversion; hence we are only to be forgiven as we forgive. In the final reck- oning there will be no filing of bills of ex- captions, no recommendations to mercy, but as we forgive so will we be forgiven. Let us keep the final reckoning constantly in view. As we recognize Gods love let us not forget to love others then at that final 1eck oning we may be forgiven; but if you forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your father in heaven forgive your trespasses
 In the evening Rev. MT. Millen preached very interesting discourse to young men, his subject being, ''The glory of young men," There was a very large audience pres nt

An Exciting scene In a Circus.

MADISON, Wis, Aug. 22.-At circus ex- hibition here yesterday, Mrs. Henry Reif was standing near cage containing four partners and their keeper. A sudden gust of wind blew her hat under the cage and she stopped to recover it. A panther thrust his forepaw out of the cage and caught her by the hair, while with the other paw it took hold of her face and lifted her from the ground. The keeper rushed upon the animal and beat him terribly. This enrsged the other animals and it seemed as if nothing could prevent the keeper from being mangled. His cour- age did not fail him, and he rushed upon all, flashing them right and left in 8 terrible man. ner, and finally made them slink into cor ner.

DAVENPORT CHURCH.

At the Davenport church yesterday morn ing Rev. s. D. Paine of Jacksonville, Florida, chaplain of the department of the G. A. R. of that State, preached to large congrega- ton from Isaiah lii and part of the first verse: Awake! Awakel Put on thy strength o Zion."
 The reverend gentleman commenced by re ferring to the intense love the Jewish people had for their nation and temple; how they refused to sing the songs of their country in the land of their captivity; they remembered Zion, etc. :
 He elaborated the thought that the church of Christ needed extension and ad- ditional glory. There are over 700, ,O0O,- 900 of pagans, he said, over 200 000 900 of Mohammedans and about 800, ,000, 900 of nominal Christians. He spoke of the terrible drain upon the material resources of the Christian nations by war and intemperance, the responsibility of the churches to attract the masses by love and sympathy, not by erecting cheap churches for the poor, but by making them welcome in our most beautiful edi6ces, as is done by Catholicism.
 The second principal thought was what constitutes church strength. It is the church, he said, accomplishing the purpose for which God designed tito save men from sin, to develop Christian manhood.
 The third thought was the awakened con- dition of the Christian church to-day. MT. Paine remarked with much emphasis that the sun shone down today upon the best churc h that the world has ever seen. He contraste the present time with little over century ago when there were no missionary societies, no organized temperance work, no Sunday schools, no bible societies, no young mems Christian associations, no Christian commis- sions, no Red Cross societies, etc., when the whole world was closed to the missionary work.
 He spoke hopefully of the future referred to the growing fraternity among Christian denominations-to the fact that he Methodist clergyman was temporarily filling the pulpit of Con- gregational church and was received with so much kindness. He predicted a glorious flu ture for the church and world and closed with an anecdote of thrilling interest con nected with his new soldier life in the Cri- mea. A number of G. A. R. comrades were noticed in the audience. MT. Paine preach es his fifth and last sermon next Sunday eve- ming, when he returns to his field of labor in the South.

Randall Said to he No Good.


 BOSTON, Aug. 22.-William Kendall, who swan the Niagara rapids, was born in Brook lyn in 1858 His parents removed to Boston while William was yet a child and he grew up in this city. He until March 15, 1884, worked for the Boston Terra Gotta con- pany. On that date he was appointed a pa- trol of division No. 4 and donned police mans uniform. His brother officers were inclined to look down upon him as of little consequence, but he soon showed his metal One morning at about 1 o'clock he discovered three burglars working store on Washington street and at once proceeded to catch them. Getting a brother officer to guard the front door he went to the rear, but found that the burglars had ascended to the roof and were hiding about the chimney. Kendall with remarkable courage ran up the fire escape and began game of tag with tbe burglar around the roof Finally he collared two of them, forced them to descend the fire escape and took them to the station. Kendall was specially com mended for his bravery and he was for @ time the hero of police circles. Flattery spoiled him. He took to drink, rapidly de- seended and on January 4, 1885, was discharged from the force for 8 brutal assault on an officer. Since that time Kendall has lived gutter existence, being engaged in frequent carousals and often cru ely beating his wife. Being utterly strapped he caught the Niagara Falls fever and is thought to have determined to make or break himself by one bold stroke.
