nearly as can be estimated, 300 cars of
provisions on the way and it is thought

Galveston has begun to emerge from
the valley of the shadow of death into
which it has been plunged. The bodies
of those killed in the storm have for
thes most part been disposed of. A
large number may be found when the
debris is removed from some of the
buildings but at present there are none
to be seen save those occasionally cast
up by the sea. AS far as sight, at least,
is concerned, the city is cleared of its
dead.
They have been burned. thrown into
the water, buried, anything to get
them quickly out of sight
The chief danger of a future pesti-
lence is due almost entirely to the large
number of dead cattle lying on the
island, whose decomposfhg carcasSes
pollute the air to an almost unbear-
able extent This, hoWeVer,i is not in
the city proper, but is a condition pre-
vailing on the outskirts of Galveston.

piled from various sources but believed
to be authentic. There We're hundreds
or bodies burned and buried in the sea
and in the sand where no Identification
was possible. Other hundreds were
buried on the beach of the mainland.
few of whom have been identified.
Some bodies are still in the ruins of
Galveston and scattered along the
beach of the mainland and in the
marshes, where they were thrown bv
the water Some of these bodies have
been sent twenty miles inland along
small water courses by the rush of
high waters.
Taking all things into consideration
there seems no longer any doubt that
the number of dead will reach beyond
the estimate of 5000 which has been
made by Mayor Jones and other reIia-
bic citizens of Galveston.

sNATCHED FROM A WINDOW.
Edward Quay1e Torn From His Wife
By the Tempest.

New Orleans, Sept. 14.-One of the
most pathetic stories of suffering in
Galveston was learned today when the
Southern Pacific train arrived from
Houston Among the passengers were
Mrs. Mary Quayle of Liverpool Eng
land, and Jonathan Hale of GIovers-
vile, N 7 Mrs Quayle came from
New York TO Galveston, arriving there
Thursday, accompanied by her nus
band. Edward Quayle, a tabulator on
the Liverpool cotton exchange. Mrs
Quayle and her husband took apart
ments in the Lucas terrace, a fashion
able residence building in the eastern
end of the island. During the storm
Saturday evening, while Mr. Quayle
was peering out of window there
came an unusually violent gust of
wind. The window was literally suck
ed out as if by a mighty air pump, and
he was taken with it.
Mrs Quayle was thrown against a
door of the room.
When she came to her senses she be-
gan to call for her husband. Mr.. Hale,
who occupied the adjoining room. came
to her assistance and cared for her IN
together and searched throughout all
the adjacent portion of the city for
her husband, but no trace of him was
found.
The search was kept uD until Mon
day night without success. Then Mr..
Hale brought Mrs Quayle via Houston
to New Orleans and they took a train
for New York. Mrs. Quayle will re-
turn to England.
She was completely Frustrated and
although she has not yet reached mid
die age, had the appearance of frail
decrepit old woman, so terrible had
been the ordeal.

he said. the POpulists pOlled 166 votes
in Salt Lake, while the Democrats poll
ed 1000. One senator and one repre-
sentative he thought was enough
George E. Blair was recOgnized and
took strong grounds against fusion on
any grounds. There never was time
when the Democrats could not carry
the county without the aid of the Pop
ulfsts. The party was stronger without
these allies and could whip the Repub-
leans single-handed and alone.
For and Against Fusion.
Frank B. Stephens spoke strongly in
favor of fusion. When over-conf1dence
steps in, he said defeat is most near.
The Democrats cannot take the posi-
ton that they can do without the Pop
ulists and tell them to get out, that
they had no use for them. He spoke
of the self abnegation of the POpulists
of the nation in nominating Mr.. Bryan,
Democrat, for president and with
drawing Towne and endorsing Steven
son after the Kansas City convention.
No party could afford TO turn down
such men as Henry w. Lawrence and
insult them, and the time will never
come when the Democratic party can
afford to reject such men. He Consid-
cred the Populist request reasonable.
Mr.. Stephens remarks had a deep eff
feet on the convention.
Ihe previous question was moved
and carried, but B. T. Lloyd asked for
unanimous consent TO make a state
ment on behalf of the county commit
tee and the request was granted on mo-
ton of Mr.. Blair.
Mr.. Lloyd said that he was in favor
of fusion to a certain extent, but he
thought the Populists should not be
given all they asked. If they were
given any places on the ticket the con-
VentiOn should use the greatest care
as to the kind of men who were put
up. There were some men aspiring who
would not add strength to the ticket.
but on the contrary have a tendency to
pull it down.
The first vote was on the amendment
of Mr.. Sabine that the Populists be
given one senator and one representa-
tive and no more. This carried on a
rising vote and the report of the COM
mittee was then adopted as amended
The vote for commissioner was then
announced by the chair and David B.
Hampstead moved that the nomina-
tiOns of Messrs- WOolley, Whitaker and
Horne be made unanimous and the mo-
ton carried with enthusiasm. The
