1t is impossible to get correct list of
all the missing Nearly every family
in the district has some member that
they can not account for and it it be-
lieved that most of the missing are
dead. 1t is very conservative to esti-
mate that the list of fatalities will reach
90, while the injured will reach 100.
Every moment brings new victims,
many of them horribly mangled.
At least 90 houses are totally wrecked.
Most of them are small cottages except
in Fairview and Washington avenues,
where the handsome residence of l.. +.
Ely, Captain j. @. Stalter, Mrs. Pat
Mattingly and James Falls also sue
cumbed. The loss will reach at least
$3.50, 900, and but little if any of it was
covered by cyclone insurance.
The greatest number of fatalities are
reported from the colored settlement
ulong Post Oak and Lincoln streets, be-
tween Cherry and Lost streets, where
several people were killed outright.
Very few of the persons i'll the de-
molished houses are able to tell just
how the storm burst upon them, and
only in one or two instances were par
ties able to get out of its deadly path. ~. ~.
About the most graphic description
given by any of the injured was that Of
w. S. Bostwick, who sdid:
II was at Mr.. John Irvine's house
when l heard the noise of the approach
ing storm. Just as 1 looked out 1 saw
Captain Berge's house blown into the
air and then Mr.. Shearer's house. The
air was filled with great trees and tim
bers and every conceivable kind of art
Gle. 1 was facinated, petrified, for it
was coming directly.upon us and that it
could not be long in reaching us. 1t
was black serpentine cloud, twisting,
writing in the center, but at the bot
tom it seemed to be moving steadily.
81 woke up from my stupor and
called out to the family who were in
the house and asked them not to run
out. L feared that we would all be
struck by flying timbers. Then came
| an awful crash, a sense OF suffocatlon
and when it was over the house was
gone and myself and my family were
scattered about the yard and under the
debris. 1t was over i'll such a short
time can not give you an idea of how
| long it was"
A great many of the wounded are in
| private houses, scattered all over the
city. 1t is safe to assume that at least
e-fourth of the number of injured
| will die III the next "a hours. :.
Another storm of a similar nature
passed about six miles west of the city
at about the same hour Several houses
were blown down and many persons in
| jured. Their names can not be OBJ
| tanned.
Reports are that the storm killed
many persons in the county west OF
| Howe.
At Carpenters Bluff, on Red river, il
is reported that six persons were hurt
| five seriously.

It money to be paid on or be-

government money to be paid on or be-
fore June 1.
A rough estimate of the amount held
by the depository banks is between SS,-
800, 900 and 50, 10000 and the draft on
the money market will accordingly be
for that sum. 1t is stated that no i'm.
portant change in money rates is likely
to result at the moment from the call,
owing to the large continued receipts
of funds from the interior and heavy
amounts of foreign capital that are
Offering in this market.

NEWPORT. r. l., September l6.-Ine
United States second-class battieshlP
Texas tonight added another mishap TO
her already unhappy career. In COM
nliancc with orders, she was coming mere
for her torpedo outfit. She MADE the
harbor shortly after O'Clock, and at
about 500 landed UPON the torpedo std-
tIon. having first gone over toward the
jamestown shore. and then turned anu
came across the bay for anchorage. for
some reason the ships engines ala not
stop when they should. and she kept
forging ahead. Her anchor was dropped,
but still she did not stop, and when TOO
late her helm was thrown over with the
hone of clearing the island and going out
to sea again. The water shoals very
rapidly here. and when she struck with
land on her port-quarter she ran her
nose some two feet out OF water. and
her stern was crowded under. Drawing
some twenty-three feet of water, with
the tide three hours down, she was I'M
bedded In the heavy mud. IL was just
about dusk. and sigral-rockets were at
once sent up. A tug went TO her as
sIstance and pulled tight on the tow
line. but made on impression. 1t was
some time after the ship struck before
her engines fairly stopped The tide was
still falling. but II Is not believed that
her posltion is serious, as divers say
that the bottom Is quite free from rocks.
A larSer tug was engaged tonight, ana
about | o'clock she will go out and make
an attempt on the rising tide. whic..
