About noon lt became evident the
city was to be visited with disaster
hundreds OF buildings along the water
front were abandoned, the occupants
fleeing to higher portions of the city.
Every home was opened TO the refugees

constantly, and rain fell in torrents
Inc wind was so fierce that the rain cut
like knife.
Entire City Submerged.
by O'Clock the waters Of the gulf
and bay met and by dark the entire citv
was submerged. The flooding OF the
electric light plant and the gas plants
lett the city in darkness. To 90 ont into
the streets was to court death. The
wind was then at cyclonic velocity. roofs
clsterns, portions of buildings. telegram
poles and walls were falling. and the
noise OF the wind and the crashing of
the buildings was terrifying in the ex-
treme. The wind and waters rose stead
lily from dark until 1915 O'Clock Satur-
day morning. During all this time the
people OF Galveston we're like rats in
traps. The highest portion of the CITY
was Tour to five feet under water. while
IN the majority of cases the streets were
submerged to a depth of 10 feet. To
leave house was to drown. To remain
was to court death in the wreckage.
Such a night of agony has seldom been
equalled.
Without apparent reason the waters
began to subside at 1:45 a. IN. Within
two minutes they had gone down two
feet, and before daylight the streets were
practically freed of the flood waters. In
the meantime the wind had veered to
the southeast.

FAVOR A BIG STRIKE
Coal Miners in Pennsylvania About
To Go Out.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Sept 7.-Miners
meetings were held in various parts of
the Wyoming valley tonight and the
anthracite strike situation discussed.
In nearly all the meetings the senti-
ment was in favor Of abiding by the de-
cisiOn of the executive board OF the
United Mine Workers, now in session in
indianapolis. At the meeting held at
Kingston there was much opposition to
a strike. Some Of the miners said the
organization was not strong enough to
carry the men through long strike.
At Wanamie and Glenlyon the miners
were almost a unit for a strike. At the
Woodward mine of the Lackawanna
company this afternoon the foreman
took vote of the employees to see how
many stood for a strike, it is said. and
only four of 70 men voted not to strike.
The operators in this section are now
convinced that nothing but a miracle
can prevent strike and they are max
ing preparations to hire coal and iron
police to guard their mines during the
strike

CITY OF GALVESTON WRECKED.
Appalling Calamity Which Has Be-
fallen the Southern Town.


Houston, Tex, Sept. 9.-1Op. m
The West Indian Storm which reached
the gull coast yesterday morning has
wrought awful havoc in Texas. ReDorts
are conflicting, but it is known that an
appalling disaster has bef8llen the citv
OF Galveston, where it is reported a
thousand or more lives have been blot
ted out and tremendous property dam
age inflicted. Meager reports from Sa-
bine Pass and Port Arthur Indicate a
heavy loss OF life but these reports can
not be confirmed al this hour.
The first news to reach this city from
the stricken city of Galveston was re-
ceived tonight. James C.. Timmins of
Houston, general superintendent of the
National Compress Company, arrived
here at O'Clock tonight from Calves
ton. After remaining through the hur-
ricane on Saturday he departed from
Galveston on schooner and came
across the bay to Morgan's Point, where
he caught a train for Houston. The
hurricane, Mr.. Timmins said, was the
worst ever known. The estimates made
by citizens of Galveston was that 1000
houses, most of them residences, have
been destroyed and that at least 1000
people have been drowned, killed or are
missing. Some business houses were
also destroyed, but most of them stood,
though badly damaged.
City Complete Wreck.
The city, Mr.. Timmins AYERS. is a
complete wreck so far as he could see
from the water front and from the Tre
mont. Water was borne over the island
by the hurricane, the wind blowing AFT
the rate of 80 miles an hour straight
from the gulf and forcing the sea water
before 1T in big waves. The gale was a
steady one, the heart of it striking the
city about O'Clock yesterday evening
and continuing without intermissiOn un-
til midnight last night, when it abated
somewhat, although it continued to
blow all night.
Terrible destruction was also wrought
by the hurricane for 100 miles inland in
Texas as far as Red river on the north.
The valley OF the BrazOs, which is but
just recovering from the great spring
floods, also suffered immensely.
The fruit, rice and cotton crOns are
total losses over a large scope of
country.
On the Mississippi.

the city and reaching to the gulf. ia
100000 to the rice crop and a like
amount to truck farms, cattle, poultry
and other property. The river rose six
feet during the storm and flooded the
country through which it passes.

ers of the Gulf Over the
City of Galveston

Houston, Tex, Sept. S.-A hurricane,
accompanied by heavy rain, has been
blowing along the Texas coast and for
a hundred miles inland today. Calves
ton is shut off entirely. The last report
from Galveston states that the Gulf
waters were encroaching rapidly on the
beach and that the food reached into
the residence portion of the city for sew
eral blocks. The waves we're very high
and boisterous in the bay and consider
able damage was being done to small
craft, though the big boats we're not in
any danger.

Every southern Texas town that is
reached reports one or more dead, and
the property damage is so great that
there is no way of computing it accu-
rately.

noon yesterday the people we're organ

Tempest Was Terrible.
"The wreck of Galveston was brought
about by a tempest so terrible that no
words can adequately describe it's inten-
sity, and by food that turned the city
into a raging sea. The weather bureau
records show that the wind attained a
velocity of 81 miles an hOnr when the
measuring instrument blew away, SO it
is impossible to tell what was the maxi
mum. The storm began about 2 O'Clock
Saturday morning. Previous to that a
great storm had been raging in the gulf
and the tide was very high. The wind
at first came from the north and was in
direct opposition to the force from the
gulf, while the storm from the gulf piled
the water from the bay on the bay part
of the city.
