Sinful Sherman.

New York. Oct l4.-Father Sherman,
the young Brooklyn priest who married
Tillie Mccoy and ade sensation few
months ago, and who turned out to have
been rather disreputable ch4rac er alto
gether, has gone into a monastery in Phil
adelphia, where he is doing energetic PEN
ance for his many faults, ASST, ting in the
mental work. praying constantly and
humbling himself in every possible wa, :.
The statement is made upon the authority
of Mrs. Costello: rich widow who was
one of his pari hioners and who had taken
a grtat deal OF interest in him from the
time when he went through
college with her son that
Sherman Gains that the marriage
with Miss Mccoy was accomplished while
he had been drugged. Mrs. Costello says
that he seemed greatly overcome when he
told her this before the scandal became
public. The credibility of the tale, how
ever, is lessened by Ms. Costella's admis-
sion that he accompanied the telling of it
by a request for money, which he repeated
frequently afterward by mali and tele-
graph as well as to her son. The drugging
story does not agree with the facts as they
came out at the time of the marriage.
Miss Mccoy was seen yesterday at Brook
Ign and is supposed to be living again with
her par-nts, TO whom Sherman said he
proposed TO return her.

GALVESTON GREIyEs.
Galveston, Oct. I4-This city has been
in a state of feverish excitement all day
over the dreadful news froII Sabine Pass.
Many anxious persons have eagerly visited
the telegraph offices seeking further par
ticulars from the stricken town
The details of the calamity are very diff
cult to obtain because Of the impaired IA
cilities for communication in the vicinity
of Sabine Pass. Telegraphic com:aunica-
ton with Beaumont and Orange, the near
est points 10 the unfortunate town, has
been established, but the inhabitants
re.lef parties that have gone 10 Sabine
Pass. The town of Sabine Pass Is located
at the mouth of the Sabine river, within
half mile of the extreme point jutting
from the Texas side and lies four
feet above the main tide mark,
and is bounded by great swamp on the
west and Lake Sabine on the north.
THE ENTRANCE To LAKE SABINE
is mile and half above the town. The
lake IS fifteen miles long and ten miles in
width with an average depth of seven feet
1t was this lake, accounting 10 the most
experienced navigators on this coast, that
DESTROYED the town The hurricane of last
Sunday In the West Indies blew the waters
with great violence toward the Texas coast,
This hurricane wave was first noticed
on this coast on Monday morning attain
ing its maximum on Tuesday afternoon
and was maintained at high point bv
,, the impetus of the waters behind.
THE HURRICANE ITSELF
did not reach these coasts at all
As scarcely breathe of wind was stirring
when the tidal wave first touched the
coast Wien its maximum was revealed
northwestern gale sprung along the
whole coast and al Sabine this
gale blew the waters out
the gulf, where the lake waters were met
by
THE GREAT SWELL,
caused by the hurricane. This resulted in
driving the lake waters into the little town
and submerging the country for miles
around without a moments notice. This
account of The disaster is confirmed by our
exper ence here with the gale, and all Infor-
nation from Sabine confirms the above.
As soon as the collector of customs
was appraised of the disaster he ordered the
government tug, Primrose, to prepare to
make a trip to Sabine, AMI she started
at 2 o'clock this afternoon with q
representatives of the Galveston Neus and
several others on board. The distance TO
Sabine is sixty miles. The Primrose can
not get hack before tomorrow, when the
details of this awful disaster will be
known.
PRIVATE TELEGRAMS
from Beau mont this evening confirm the
reports previously sent regard ng the loss
of life. The damage to property all along the
Texas coast will be great At Beaumont
and Orange, the gale did serious damage.
IL played havoc among the lumber mills,
but occasioned no loss of life The latest
report places the lives lost at Sabine at
over sixty.

When Virgins predicted his great storm
for September 81 tn, in conjunction with
his earthquake, he missed the mark just
two weeks. He will doubtless, however,
take heart and return from the woods ex-
claiming, like The old woman, 81 told you
SOP Now that "a storm originating in
the Indies has swept into the Gulf OF
Mexico, along the Atlantic coast, and
through the eastern states TO the lake."
of course the matter of Il week, or month,
or year as To date will make no difference
Just so the storm comes as predicted, and
that it has come is evidenced by the fol-
lowing kilograms from all parts or the
country:

Somehow or s,the,

Somehow or other we Get Along
The good wife hustled about the house,
Her face still bright with pleasant smile,
AS broken snatches of happy song
Strengthened her heart and hand the while.
The good man sat in the chimney nook,
His little clay pipe within his lips,
And all he d made and all he'd lost
Ready and clear on his finger tips.
Good wife, I've just been thinking bit,
Nothing has done very well this year;
Money is bound to be hard to get
Everything,s bound to be very dear;
How the cattle are going to be fed,
How we're to keep the boys at school,
Is kind of debit and credit sum
L can't make balance by my rule"
She turned her round from the baking bread,
And she faced him with a cheerful laugh;
why, husband, dear, one would think
That the good, rich wheat was only chaff.
And what If the wheat was only chaff,
AS long as we both are well and strong2
I'm not woman to worry bit,
Somehow or other we get along.
Unto all lives some rain must fall,
Over all lands the storm must beat,
But when the rain and storm are DER,
The after sunshine is twice as sweet.
Through every straight we have found road,
In every grief we've found a song;
We've had 10 bear and had to wait,
But somehow or other we get along.
For thirty years we have loved each other,
Stood by each other whatever befell:
Six boys have called us father and mother,
And all of them living and doing well.
We owe no man penny, my dear,
We're both of us loving, well and strong,
Good man, wish you would smoke again,
And think how well we've got along.
He filled his pipe with a pleasant laugh;
He kissed his wife with tender pride;
He said: I'm doas you tell me, love;
I'll just count up on the other side."
She left him then with his better thought,
And lifted her work with low, sweet song
A song that followed me many year,
Somehow or other we got along.

WHAT BOYS SHOULD BE TAUeHT-A
young society girl in Washington says that
II there is one thing more necessary than

she says, knows the first thing about tanning
a lady as 1t ought to be done.
