NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 13-Chief operator
West of the Western Union Telegraph
Company, has received the following mes
sage from the operator at Orange, Texas
"Ihe town of Sabine Pass was totally de-
stroyed by water of the Sabine river last
night. There are known to be sixty-fivs
lives lost. Last night during the overflow,
motel with fifteen or twenty people in it,
was swept out in the Bay an |
every. one OF the inmates drowned. The
captain OF schooner from there
to-day says not house is left in the whole
drowned. A party of men came from
beaumont this evening on train, with the
intention of joining the people Of Orange
and going down to Sabine Pass with re-
lief boat. = NOTE = The wires have been
down all day both sides of Orange Sabine

NEW ORLEANS, Oct 13-The news from
the storm Tuesday on the Gulf cost proves
the loss to have been greater than first re-.
ported. The losses in Plaquemine Parish
alone will be over $3.50 900. At Eadsport
tne whole population had to take refuge
in the hotel. The sea wall at the jetties
was somewhat injured, but the jetties
themselves received no harm. Great dam
age was inflicted at number of points
on the Texas coast. At Orange, Texas
many shade trees were blown down and
several buildings wrecked, among them the
Catholic Church. At Sabine Pass, Tex, at
the mouth Of the Sabine river, the dividing
line between Texas and Louisiana, the gale
was particularly severe. The Porter House,
the leading hotel in the town, and in which
there were o large number Of persons, was
blown down and wrecked hoat in the
harbor was capsized and all hands lost
The schooner Silas was washed across the
railroad track out on the prairie and num-
Der OF other vessels were wrecked. Eight
i lives are known to have been lost, and it is
feared that the damage and loss of life is
much worse, as it is impossible to get COM
mpnicatiOn with the town. The news was
brought to Orange by the steamer Boden,
which reports rescuing number of people
IN very exhausted condition. A relief
party was organized at Orange and the
steamer Lamar sent down with provisions
Tor the people of Sabine Pass, who, it il
thought, are in great need. ~

THE STRIKE.
Packers and Employees Lock Horns
on the Eight Hour Rule.
Nearly Seventeen Thousand Men Out-A
Long and Bitter Struggle Evident.

CHICAGO, Oct. 15.-Tbere is no prospect
OF an early settlement OF the packers
strike. The packing-house firms come to
the relief of Armour by saying that they
are as much responsible for the stand
taken as he, and that they will stand to-
gether to the last. They claim that Ar
mour has 1900 men employed and more
arriving daily. Armour's beef-packers
were ordered out this morning. Delegate
Barry, referring to the ordering out of
these men, said ''We have formally de-
clared war on the big pork specula-
tor, aud 1t will be war to the knife
and knife TO the hilt ! shall get to
Richmond now before the convention ad-
1ourns, and you may depend upon it that
ArmOur's meats throughout the United
States will be an unknown quantity in less
than three months We intend to fight an
aggressive battle, and Armour, with his mil
lions. will either be brought to terms or rele-
gated to the position Of q retired, il not a
bankrupt pork-packer. As far as the men
are concerned, we shall take care of them.
Besides, the closing down of l. he industry
here does not necessarily do away with it al
together. The demand Is bound to be met
II not here, elsewhere" During O confer
ence this evening between Delegates Butler

mour and 8. w. Allerton, two of the
wealthiest packers, on the other, the sug-
gcstion that long strike would result In
great loss financially, and the loss of life,
perhaps, beside, elected from Armour
the sentiment that loss Of life cut
no figure In the case; it was
question of right or wrong, and
right. was going to prevail at any cost.
Nearly seventeen thousand men, In addi-
tion TO those already out, refused to go to

A. WIDESPREAD STORM.
Further Details of the Disaster at Sabine
Pass.

ORANGE, TEX, Oct IA Details Of the
destruction by the storm at Sabine Pass
and Johnson's Bayou come in slowly and
are yet indefinite, though all agree that
there has been a great loss of life and
property. Two brothers named Pomeroy
were picked up by the schooner Andrew
Baden in Sabine Lake. They had been in
the water thirty-sx hours, clinging to
their clpsized yawl. Their mother and
sister and Mrs. Captain Junker, her son and
z little girl Of the party were lost. The
Pomeroys report that so lives We're lost at
the Porter house, where the people had
collected as the best place of safety. 1t
went to pieces at 8 o'clock. Many persons
are missing. Still greater loss is reported
from JohnSon's Bayou. Whole families
were swept away. Not house was loft
standing within five miles Of the lake. Par
ties were organized last night aud left on
the steamer Lamar and Emily P. with pro-
visions and bedding.
LAKE CHARLES, LA, Oct. 14.-The loss Of
property along the Cameron Parish Gulf
Coast, and for some distance. west Of Sa.
bine Pass. by the STORM of Tuesday night
was fearful The mai boat from Cameron
Parish reports that the water at Gallo,
casieu Pass was eight feet deep at the
lighthouse, and that the entire country
east and west was submerged Tuesday
night, drowning thousands OF cattle and
running crops. News from Pointe la Hacbe
and points below shows that the first &C.
count of the damage was rather under than
overestimated. There has been almost a
total destruction Of crops of all kinds from
Pointe a la Hache to Fort Eads on the east
side of the river. The schooner J. 81. lumber
laden, was driven on the levee, thirty-five
miles below the city, and left high and dry.
Two unknown luggers shared the same
fate. What oranges there were on the
trees were torn off. The damage between
Pointe la Hache in rice gardens, cattle,
horses, poultry, houses, ETC., is estimated
at 100000. No loss of life is reported.
WAsHINGToN, Oct. IA Reports of disas.
ters from the storm are coming in. AT
Chicago trees and saplings were twisted of,
and, houses demolished Twenty -nine
houses at Buffalo, n Y, were totally de.
stroyed and number of persons killed.
The wires throughout Michigan are almost
all down, caused by the storm. The storm
was pretty general through Illinois, Indi.
ana and portions of Kentucky and Ohio.

The English Sparrow and the Bobolink,
Pests That should bo Exterminated.

Pests That should be Exterminated.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.--The material is
largely in hand in the newly organized
division of economic ornithology of the
Department of Agr culture for a series of
bulletins upon the relations Of several COM
mon species of birds in this country to agri-
culture. The evidence collected will have
a strong tendency in some cases to upset
widely preva ent notions respecting the
habits and value of certain birds, in others
to lead to organized efforts for the miti-
cation or extinction of pests which threaten
destruction to valuable branches Of
agriculture. In the latter category
DR.. G. H. Merriam, the head of the
division, places the English sparrow as
chief This bird was imported with a
flourish of praise some years ago, as an
agent for the protection OF shade trees
from the ravages of caterpillars inch
worms and other creeping things, and has
so multiplied and developed among its
new surroundings as to become, DR.. Mer-
riam thinks, vast greater scoufge than
the one it was expected to counteract,
nous, and the new territory which it
invades is estimated at more than
10000 square miles annually. 1t is
essentially a town bird Nesting almost
exclusively about and upon the projections
of buildings, but it takes long vacations
during the fruit-growing seasons and
wreaks its fastidious appetite upon the
largest and juciest of grapes and the
daintiest of tree fruits, in which work OF
destruction its aggregate of damages is
almost incompatible. How best to prevent
its further increase and curtail its raw
aging propensities is an unsolved prob
lem. 1t may be shot or poisoned, or it may
be despoiled of its nest, but neither plan
promises permanent relief 1t is wary
and suspicious creature, readily learning to
avoid places where any of its fellows met
their fate, while, as il in anticipation OF
future necessities, it has within the last
year or two begun to study and practic,
the art of neSt-building in trees. Ths
bobolink of the North (the rice bird OF
the South) has been receiving much
closer attention from the ornithol
ogist and his correspondents. This cheer
full creature is found to be rather
helpful to the Northern grain-growers, an
examination of it's nav disclosing the fa.t
that it does not care for the growing grain,
but lives upon the seeds of destructive
weeds and equally destructive field insects
But it SO times it's annual migration as N,
pass about three weeks in the rice fields Ot
the South, at the season when that grain
is in the milky state, and there it's ravases
are enormous. The estimated annual los.
to the rice planters from the depreciation,
of this bird is between S3,0O0,0OO and 81,
100000.
