In a Perilous Position.

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash. Dec. 2l.
Last night and today fearful south
westerly wind prevailed in the Straits
or San Juan de Fuca. The schooner
Forester, just arrived from Cape Flat
terry, reports sighting a steamer this
morning between Flattery Rock and
Iatoosh Island flying signals of dis
tress. The captain of the Forester
was unable to make out the name of
the steamship, as a heavy gale was
blowing. The description he gives of
the steamship indicates that it is the
Charles d. Lane, which sailed from
here Tuesday evening with 1000, 900
feet or lumber. The vessel is in a
dangerous position and if the wind
continues she is likely to go on the
rocks and become a total loss with all
on board. Further particulars are not
obtainable, as the telegraph office at
Neah Bay is closed for the night.
The steamship Robert Dollar. local
laden for San Francisco. after an in
eHectual attempt to make headway
against the gale, returned here at noon
today and Is awaiting the abatement
OF the wind. The barkentine Klikitat
lumber laden, sailed yesterday. but
returned today Other vessels sue
ceeded in reaching Port Los Angeles.
Inc continued rain and windstorm has
peen the most severe known here for
years, and much damage has been
done along the Port Townsend South
ern Railroad, a number of washouts
having occurred.

Third Ward.

The Third ward OF Houston Is. taken
on tho whole. the most attractive resi-
dence portion OF the city and while Its
buildings did not suffer so much as those
In other localities. probably from the
fact OF their being more securely con-
structed. and well protected by lux
uriant growth OF trees, yet the damage
In this ward was considerable in the losS
Of a large number OF beautiful shade
trees which time alone can replace. and
in the demollshing OF a lot Of beautiful
shruhbery.
Two OF the leading thoroughfares
through this ward, Rusk avenue. known
In years gone by as Tho most aristocratc
street In Houston. and Crawford. bead-
tifully paved driveway through the entire
length OF the ward. presented picturesque
Appearances yesterday. These streets
had been selected by the southwestern
Telephone and Telegraph company as the
chief avenues for their cable lines and
along each was an elaborate pole and
wire aystem, rendered topheavy, posi-
bly,. by the amount OF wire that Was
carried. But whether or not this was tne
cause of the collapse. the immense poles
along these streets. the largest and tall
and. falling in the streets with their
immense wire laden bars. caused
d wreckage that rendered the two thor
oughfares impassable for blocks at
time.
The chief damage to residence property
IL this ward was the complete demoli-
ton OF two partially completed residences
that were being constructed by Mrs. j.
G. Hutcheson al the corner OF Mckinney
avenue and Caroline street These res
licences were being built at an approx
mate cost OF $1,000 or $500 each and were
nearing completion. They are now d
mass OF twisted and broken timber.

a sorry sight. The wind had lifted the
lin roof from the building and rolled 1t
up al one would roll piece OF manu-
script and all Of the pretty China trees

Passing further up Caroline, the High

institution OF the city, showed every APP
pearance OF having passed through the

were blown out and the slate roof looked
as though It had been struck in spots

High SteepIes and Spires shining
Marks for the storms fury
Yesterday was one Sabbath In Houston
In which tho accustomed church services
were materially ourtailed, as most of the
leading city churches were SO badly
damaged by the storm that their en-
frances were barred with debris to such
an extent that the most deyout Worship
per- however much the spirit prompted.
could not gain entrance to tho holy tenn
pies
The massive stone structure of tho
First Presbyterian church, and the Catho-
Tic cathedral Church OF the Annucia-
tion) were the only leading places OF
worship In tho city that escaped serious
damage. THIS escape was rather remark
able In the case OF the Church of the An
nunciaton, since its spire is the tsllast
In The city. But It withstood the raw
ages OF the storm, only losing the largo
gilded cross that topped the pinnacle OF
the spire and some other smaller turrets
The First Presbyterian church stood the
strain like the rock OF Gibraltar.
OF the other leading churches, Christ
church (Episcopal) was probably the least
damaged. A gable end IN the southeast
wing OF the church proper was blown IA
and the southeast gable OF the parish
house was similarly demolished.
The First Baptist aud shearn Methodist
churches. both brick structures, did not
fare so well, the First Baptist being badly
wrecked by having It's entire front end
broken out by the falling OF the belfry
tower, which badly demolished the foyer
OF the church
The tail steeple OF Shearn Methoais
church was also blown down enraoai,,,
its brick the entire width OF Texas ayenne
and completely blocking the entrance 10
the ediBcs.
The TWO towers OF the Central Chris
tian church, q frame building located At
the corner Of Capitol avenue and Caro-
liz street, were also blown down.
IL Is estimated that the damage 10
these churches viii reach in The agra
gate about $40, 600.
