As0uTHERN STORM,
Thirty Eight Lives Lost by the Tornado which
Swept ever Texas.

4 Fort Worth dispatch dated August
% says: From Indinnola comes the sad.
dest story yet reported about the storm.
During the height OF the storm the signal
Office was blown down, carrying with IL
Capt /. A. Reed, signal officer, and DR.. H.
Rosencrans, both OF whom were lost. Fire
broke out among the ruins which extended
for blocks on both sideis of the street. des-
troying thirteen houses, among which were
d. 5. Regan's large dry goods store and
DR.. Lewis extensive drug establishment.
DR.. Lewis was in the building at the time it
took fire. lie escaped being burned to
death, but was subsequently drowned, his
boda being found the next day. So far as
can be learned the following is "A complete
list OF the lives of white people lost: Capt
|. A. Reed, signal officer; DR.. Crooker; Dr.
III. Rosencrans, OF Elgin ILL.,, formerly a
resident of Indianola. Mrs. Hodges and
two children OF DR.. Hodges family of Cuero.
Mrs. CrOoker OF Austin, visiting at India
uola with Mrs. Hodges; Mrs. Henry Shep.
rard; two children of Mrs. Max Luther Of
Corpus Christi; DR.. David Lewis and .
German, name unknown. Besides the
above, the bodies OF ten colored persons
have been found; also the body OF DR..
Crooker. Four miles OF the track in
washed away, rendering it impossible for
much destitution there among the poorer
6lasses who have lost everything they pos
sessed. The depth of the water is reported
as great as it was during the great storm OF
1875 when Indianola had nearly two hun
dred of her citizens, swept away. Friday
the flood OF water over the doomed town
was 80 rapid that within two hours after
the first apprehensions were felt every street
was submerged many feet.
At San Antonio the loss to property is
$500, 900. At Florcsville the loss is $780,
Op0. Never before was the lower Texas
coast visited by so terrible and dcstruc tive
a storm 1t extended for 300 miles inland,
destroying thousands of houses and in
volving pecuniary loss OF many millions.
Among the poorer classes great desolatiou
must prevail, as but few we're able to save
any considerable portion OF their small
possessions from the general wreck. The
entire crop OF the present year is practically
gone and vast deal OF suffering must en-.
sue, especially among the negroes, most oil
whom are without means OF any kind. II
is feared that many more people wers
drowned at Indianola. The lower end oI
the peninsula is completely washed away.
Many people are missing and nothing defin.
ite can be learned until the angry water,
reccde. The storm came in the shape OF a
hurricane. The waters Of the Gulf rose up
and in three hours the whole peninsula on
which Iadianola is situated was under ter
feet OF water. The total loss, as nov
known to Texas. from the Gulf storm, II

TWO HUNDRED LIVES.
Are lest BY The Burning st the Russian Pass
sngsr Steamer Vera.

A dispatch from st. Petersburg under
date OF Aug 21st says that q passenger
steamer plying on the River Volsa, at Sara
toy in Russia, was burned to-day and that
200 lives were lost.
Advices from st. Petersburg say that the
steamer which was burned was the Vera,
belonging to the Samelet company and
bound from Asrachan up the river. The
fire was caused by the fall OF hanging
lamp in the saloon. The woodwork was
ignited and all efforts to quench the flames
we're unavailing. The passengers, al OF
whom were in bed at the time the fire broke
out, rushed to the deck as soon as the
alarm was given, and many OF them panic
stricken sprang overheard. The captain
ordered the vessel to be run ashore. This
was done, but while the bow became i'm
bedded in the bank, the stern remained IN
deep water and the passengers we're still
obliged to swim ashore. Many persons
lost their lives by being struck by tables
and chairs which were thrown from the
vessel to aid the struggling swimmers in the
water. Owing to thefailure to stop the en-
zines the water was churned up by the ves-
sells wheels, rendering more difficult the
task OF the rescuers who put out from shore
to save the drowning passengers

He Knew When to Stop,

A clergyman at Lebanon, Pa, when he
began his sermon recently announced that
as soon as three of the congregation fell
asleep he would stop preaching. The alter
noon was rather warm, and some heads
became heavy. After awhile the preacher
observed that three had gone to sleep, and
stopped his sermon. This made somewhat
of q stir in the audience and soon raised ali
dropping heads, when the sermon was con-
tinued. Boston Transcript.
