High Prices in Richmond.

1t was seen that Grant, by his opera
tions, was rapidly forcing the fight to
a finish. The last white man in the
south had been put into the ranks, tho
communications were broken, the sup
plies were irregular. Confederate mon
ey was at a fabulous discount, and hope
had given place to despair. The next
evening one of our scouts returned from
a trip to Richmond and was brought to
headquarters in order that the general
in-chief might question him in person.
The man said: The depreciation in the
purchasing power of 'graybacks,' as we
call rebel treasury notes, is so rapid
that every time l go to the enemy's lines
l have to increase my supply of them.
On my last trip had to stuff my clothes
full OF their currency to keep myself
going for even couple of days. A bar
rel of -four in Richmond now costs over
n thousand dollars. and suit of clothes
about twelve hundred. A dollar in gold
is equal in value to hundred dollars
in graybacks. Then so much counter
felt confederate money has been showed
in through our lines that IL the country
places they don't pretend to make any
difference between good and bad mon
ey. A fellow that had come in from the
western part of the state told Inc pret-
ty tough yarn about matters out there.
He said: Everything that has a picture
on it goes for money. If you stop at a
hotel, and the bill of fare happens to
have an engraving of the house printed
at the top, you can just tear off the pic
ture and pay for your dinner with it, F"

First Reports of the Hurricane in Texas

Galveston, Tex, Sept. 15.-More ac.
curate reports from points in the storm
belt show that the reports that reached
Galveston were greatly exaggerated.
At Sabine Pass four men are reported
as drowned. They were all on vessels
which were sunk.
Port Arthur suffered the brunt of
the blast and half of the town is esti-
mated to have been destroyed or badly
injured. The wind came up about 4
o'clock and rapidly increased in veloci-
ty. A large number of people sought
shelter from the storm in the round
house of the railroad and several were
severely injured and two killed. Under
a restaurant, a small frame structure,
three more bodies were found.
The tugs Fannie, Guillote and John
p. Smith were sunk and the Norwe-
gian steamship Ceres was torn from
her moorings at the wharf and blown
five miles north before she was ground
ed in few feet of water. When she
parted her lines the captain and crew
escaped ashore and the vessel was left
to the caprice of the wind.
Twenty-Five hundred feet of the pier
at Port Arthur is destroyed and the
people of that town are so terror
stricken that they are leaving it as

to buildings and crops is severe. The

CONSERVATION at HnzeIton.

AS soon as the news of the shooting
reached Hazleton there was consterna-
ton. Within ten minutes the streets
were blocked with excited people. The
Lehigh Traction company Immediately
placed number of extra cars on the
Latimer line and doctors and clergy
men responded promptly. The rush of
people to Latimer was so great that the
progress OF vehicles along the road was
impeded. Amid the excitement the
deputies turned their attention to the
wounded and carried many of them
to places where they could be more
comfortably treated.
Citizens meetings were held at vari-
GUS parts of the city Friday night,
Opinion was divided about the respon-
sibility for the shooting. At one meet
ing, held in Van Wickle's casino, at
tended by bankers, coal operators and
prominent business men, resolutions
were adopted calling on Gov. Hastings
to send the militia here immediate
ly. AT other mass meetings, attended
by thousands of people, the sentiment
was against bringing the troops here,
and it is asserted by these that there
was no necessity for having the dep
uties here.
