msnded the court to give him an i'm
mediate trial. In this case there is no
doubt but that Lewis will he a free
man before another week. Mr.. Kin

September &c, the contract time. The
bridge over the West Fork, the large
steel viaduct at the mouth OF Lam

stone are practically completed. The
masonry along the line is somewhat
behind but will beready for the con-
struction company when the points
are reached. The twin tunnels have
been finished and but about 800 feet

AWFUL HURRICANE
Strikes the Gulf Of Mexico and
Wipes Galveston Almost Away.

An awful hurricane from the West
Indies swept over the Gulf of Mexico
Saturday and Sunday, bringing the
most fearful disaster known in history.
Galveston, Texas, was almost swept
from the face OF the earth by tidal
waves. The loss of life was simply
appalling and human suffering knows
no bounds. The wind blew at the
rate Of 80 miles an hour and forced the
sea water before 1t in big waves, IN.
nundating almost the entire city. A
conservative estimate Of the loss Of
life is 5000, and 5000 families are
shelterless and wholly destitute.

and tentssent to the unfortunate city.
