apparently safe refuge from the ele-

most. Two minutes of $50 p. m, just
before the anemometer blew away, II
had reached the frightful velocity of
100 miles.
Buildings that hitherto stood, tum-
bled and crashed. carrying death to
hundreds OF people. Roofs sailed
through the air, windows were driven
In with a crash or were shattered by
flying slate. Telegraph. telephone. and
electric light poles, with their mass Of
wires were snapped off like pipe stems,
and the water pipes were broken. What
velocity the wind attained after the
thermometer blew OF is purely a matter
of speculation. The lowest point

by frightened people was 2s0th; this
was about 1880 D. m. II then began to
rise very slowly and by 10 D. m. had
reached 2S.09, the wind gradually sub
siding and by midnight the storm had
passed. The water which had reached
depth OF eight feet, was at
stand at 10 o'clock and began to
ebb and ran out rapidly and by a.
m. Crown street was free OF water.
Thus passed one of the most frightful
and destructive storms which has ever
devastated the coast of Texas.
The city IL filled with destitute, bare
foot and homeless people, while In the
improvised morgues are the rigid forms
OF hundreds of victims. Whole families
are side by side.

Many substantial residences in tbs

human life occurred. The waves
