great hurricane struck that city.

TERRIBLE CALAMITY.
CITY OF GALVESTON, TEXAS,
DESTROYED.

The account of the awful calamity
that visited Galveston, Texas, on
Friday, Saturday and Sunday are
such as to almost stagger belief and
turn the heart sick with horror.
On Friday morning the hurricane
that had been predicted as coming
across from Cuba and the West In
dies struck the fated city, and the
roaring waves and bowling winds
steadily advanced TO the work of
destruction and death until l :45 on
Monday morning, when the waters
began to subside, and the terrible
extent of the calamity began to be
seen.
The water was, at times, as deep
as ten feet over the principal bus
mess and residence portions of this
beautiful city. To remain in the
houses was to stay in a death trap
and to leave was to be instantly
drowned or dashed to death by the
angry waves. Eternity alone will
disclose the full number of the
dead, as hundreds, if not thou
sands, of bodies were carried out
to sea by the receding waters.
Millions of dollars worth of prop
erty have been engulfed beyond re-
covery. And where was once one
of the prettiest, most thriving and
substantial cities of the whole
South now there is waste, death
and ruin.
To add to the horror all four of
the bridges connecting the city
with the main land were swept
away; the telegraph and telephone
wires are gone; the gas and electric
light plants were destroyed; and,
worst of all, the waterworks are
complete wreck, adding thirst to
the many woes of the stricken sur
vivOrs.
In the presence of such an awful
calamity humanity stands aghast,
and with uncovered head lifts its
eyes 10 IlllD lAdl lOluS bnt WlnuS
and the waves in the hollow of His
hand, to implore His protection and
relief.
The news of this calamity was
flashed over the wires of this great
country, and the touch of the sor-
rows of our brethren caused an in
stantaneous response from the
hearts and pockets of the people,
from the President down to the
humblest citizen, and relief in every
form is being rapidly carried to the
stricken city and adjacent country.
The news still comes in that
other small places through Texas
and Louisiana have had their share
of destruction and death, but the
overwhelming nature of the disaster
at Galveston has dwarfed all else
into insignificance.
However that desOlated region
will be looked after by the awaken
ed tenderness of this great nation.
All the great railroads (and they
are the greatest sufferers in loss of
property are transporting relief
supplies free OF charge.

THE NEW CITY MAP.
1t VIII Make Good Showing of Sa-
vannah as 1t Is To-day.

The new city map, which is being pre-
pared by Messrs A. NJ. Bell and ]. W.
Howard, is well under way. The fact, the
outlines of the map, showing the streets,
squares and public divisions of the city
generally, is practically complete. There
are a number of details to be filed in,
however.
There have been many changes in the
city map since the last map was made
some eight or ten years ago A number
of new streets have been opened con-
siderable city property has been acquired
and various alterations have been made,
especially in property lines. One desirable
feature of the new map viii be that it VII
contain both The old and the new lot num-
bers so that real estate owners and pur
chasers of real estate will have no diff
Guilty in indentifying their lots by the map
and describing il properly for transfer
purposes. In preparing the old map the
mistake was made of showing the streets
then unopened in the southern section as
opened according to the plan which had
been adopted, but which was never car
ried out This has been the cause of no
little vexation TO real estate dealers and
property owners geneI ally.
The new map will SHOW the streets as
they are to-day and will necessarily bring
cut clearly the patchwork system which
characterizes the plan or lack of pan of
the streets in the southern section.
An important feature of the map is that
it viii show the terminal Icilities on both
sides of the river. The ri rer and enough
of Hutchinson Island viii be included, to
show the important improy ements of the
Georg Tenn nal Company on the island,
while the south side of the RIVER will show
plainly he terminal facilities of the Ocean
Steamship Company and of the Plant
System All tie official bul(hngs of the
city will be noted upon the nalp and also
the school bu ldines. churches and prom
in mt buildings rally. The plans of
Laurel Grove cemetery, Colo NAL Park,
Forsyth Park and other publ ic grounds
will also be shown.
The need of new map is best shown
by the number of lawyers, real estate
agents, property owners and business men
who have made inquiries as to its pro-
gress and who have express ID a desire
to obtain copies at the first opportunity.
Mr. Howard. as draughtsman in the city
engineers Office has the advantage of
free access to the large collection of maps
and plans in that office as well as the
very large number of maps and plats
showing the various sub-di 7isi)ns of prop
critics made by real estate owners The
new maps are very much nee led by the
various city departments. vthfch find the
old maps insufficient for their purposes

HAPPY on THEIR WAY.
Variety Actresses Get Their Trunks
and Depart.

Florence Courtney and Alice Belmont,
the two music hall singers who have been
in straits since Monday because of the
seizure of their trunks by Proprietor Nell
Gildea of the Alhambra Music Hall, are
now happy on their way to Portsmouth
Va, from whence they came to Savan-
nah.
Through the combined efforts of Mayor
Myers, City Attorney Adams and Capt J.
Ferris Cam. who acted as their attorney,
the release of the trunks was secured
and with their property in their possession
the women were able to obtain means
with which TO purchase tickets to Ports
mouth.
Mayor Myers was advised by the city
attorneys yesterday that he had power I'M
der section of the code TO close disorder
ly places such as music halls, which might
be reported to him as injurious to the
peace and order of the community. The
Mayor made it known that he would feel
entirely justified in exercising such au-
thority in a case where a place of this
kind was being conducted in a manner TO
injure the city by bringing in outsiders
and leaving them 10 become charges upon
the community. He had referred the Wo-
men to the city attorney the day before
and Mr.. Adams took quite an interest in
the case. His interest was personal, how
ever, and not in an official capacity. Capt
Cam was in the Mayors Office during one
of the calls of the women and agreed to
represent them, his services being entire
ly gratis.
Messrs Adams and Cam conferred with
Mr.. d. c. Barrow. representing MIR. GEdea
and urged upon him that il was TO the in
terest of his client that the matter be
dropped and the women's property re-
stored. Mr.. Adams stated that under
decision by Justice Bleckley of the Su-
preme Court, which has never been re-
versed, a levy for debt will not hold
against wearing apparel. Mr.. Adams later
informed Justice Kline, who issued the
writ, of this decision. After comforting
with his attorney Mr.. Gildea stated his
willingness to withdraw the attachments,
provided the costs We're taken care of by
the other side. When the state of affairs
was explained to Justice Kline he agreed
10 write off the costs. This left the wo-
men free to take charge of their property,
which they lost no time in doing.
Mayor Myers said that he was the more
inclined to resort to extreme measures be-
cause of other reports of similar occur
rences which had been made 10 him A
young man called upon the Mayor during
the day and stated that he and his wife
had been discharged from the Alhambra
under similar circumstances to the case
under Investigation; that his wife was i'll
in bed and that both were without funds.
Mayor Myers stated, in discussing this
matter yesterday, that the legal position
of the music halls is a very uncertain one,
and that it would be we'll for the propTie-
tors to conduct themselves very carefully
in the future.

His Remains Laid by the Side of His
Father in Laurel Grove,

The funeral of the late Richard Driland
baltimore took pace at Il o'clock yester-
day morning from the family residence,
on Barnard street. The house was not
large enough to hold half the people that
gathered to pay the last tribute of respect
to him whose death had brought sorrow
to many hearts
The coffin rested in the parlors, sur
rounded by wealth of flowers whose
beauty and fragrance reflected the virtues
OF the life that once animated the mortal
body held within the white and narrow
walls soon to become part of the dust
from whence 1t came. Sorrowing friends
looked for the last time upon the
peaceful face, which in death
was but mirror of his life.
The grief stricken mother and brothers
gathered around and with them sympa
thizing friends. The funeral service was
read by Rev. Charles Fl Strong rector of
St Johns Church, and at its cose
quartette, Mrs. Finnie, Mrs. Dupont, Mr..
Beckett end Mr.. Reaves sang THY VIII
Be Done" There was hardly an eye that
was not dimmed by tears as the notes of
the hymn rose after the beuedction.
The coffin was borne 10 the hearse and
Solomons Lodge Of Masons formed the
escort to the cemetery. The cortege was
family lot in Laurel Grove. The grave
was by the side OF that in which rest the
remains of MI LaJtimore's father. The
Masons stood behind the hearse as the
ball-bearers, Mr.. David Wells, Mr.. Isaiah
Solomons. Mr.. Robert +. Lowell, Mr..
Charles S. Wood, Mr.. w. G. Strobhar Mr..
A. ]. Merkle, Mr.. G. A. Gregory and Mr..
r. l.. Colding, lifted the coffin and car
ried ii TO the grave. The church burial
service was read by Rev. Mr. Strong and
after it the members of Solomon's Lodge
gave the last Masonic rites. AS the ma
sorry in the grave was being cemented
and the earth filled in the quar-
tette Sang ASLEEP in Jesus" and
as the mound was built, the hymn, Lead
Thou Me On" was sung The floral offer
ings. placed tenderly by loving hands,
completely hid the mound from sight.
The family fingered a while beside the
last resting place of the one they loved,
bending over the fragrant flowers tokens
of affection from those 20 whom he
he'd been more than friend.
The burial rites were deeply impressive
and were attended by large gathering of
people.

ANOTHER CONFERENCE ASKED.
City and County TO Discuss Estin
Park Again.

Clerk of Council w. p. Bailey addressed
a communication yesterday to Chairman
j. ]. Dale by instruction of the Mayor.
requesting another conference of the spe-
cial committee of Council with the County
Commissioners with reference to the Estill
Park matter. The request has not yet
been received by Chairman Dale. He will
doubtless make reply to-day, however.
Mayor Myers, when seen yesterday, said
that the Estill Park matter was discussed
by Council in Committee of the Whole
Wednesday night, and that it was decided
that another conference with the commits
sioners should be requested. Some of the
Aldermen among them Alderman Will
liams, expressed themselves as strongly
opposed to giving UP the park. Alderman
Williams is a member of the Conference
Committee, of which the Mayor Is chair
man. Mayor Myers said there had been
no change in this committee.
At the meeting OF Council on Feb. l.
took possession of the park, it was de-
cided that another conference should be
had with the commissioners, the Alder
men being plainly indisposed to submit
TO the action of the county in the matter.
For some reason or other this confer
ence was never arranged for. Alderman
Williams it seems. brought the matter
up in Committee of the Whole Wednes-
day night and insisted that further steps
be taken to protect the city's interests

WEATHER SEASONS CHANGING.
Some "Reminiscences of February
Blows and SHOWS

Some "Reminiscences of February
Blows and SHOWS.
There is WIDE spread belief that WHITES
in the South are getting colder, and that
the weather seasons have changed. Cold
weather in February is sometimes talked
of as myth. The idea may be due to
the Weather Bureau which makes the bad
weather spread, as it were, over a greater
number of days. Wind, rain, or snow are
predicted days in advance of their coming,
and are in contemplation and thought of
before the prediction is fulfilled.
Snow in Savannah in Febru.
airy is not by any means
a new condition. Mr.. John Nichol-
son reminds the Morning News that It
showed in Savannah on the 22nd of Feb
ruary, 1858. He arrived here from New
Orleans, via Macon, on that day and boys
were snow-balling in the streets. SaVau-
nahians well remember last years severe
weather.
The late Col. Screven, a few weeks be-
fore his death said that traditions state
that a series of storms, such as Savannah
experienced prior to the last few years,
prevailed in the closing years of the last
century. and the first of the present, end
ing with the great hurricane of 1904. He
believed the cycle of storms came around
about every hundred years and that the
present cycle has exhausted itself, barring
an occasional one. Col Screven held that
the theory that the climate is becoming
colder by reason of the clearing, away CT
forests is not true for in France the cli-
mate has become warmer since the cult
waited area OF country has been increased
