Refugees Tell Stories of FrightfuI
Havoc and Hardships.

HOUSTON, Tex, Sept. 10-Among the
| refugees whom the Galveston, Houston &
Henderson train picked up at La Marque,
which is about four and one-half miles
south of Virginia Point was Pat Joice,
who resided In the west end of Calves
ton. Joyce has a narrowing tale of
many hardships he had suffered to reach
the mainland, and his experience after he
left Galveston.
'It began raining in Galveston" said
Joyce, Saturday morning early. About
9 o'clock I left home. got there about
II o'clock and found about three feet Of
water In the yard. 1t began to get
worse and worse, the water getting
higher and the wind stronger until it was
almost as bad as the gulf itself with its
raging torrents Finally the house was
taken off its foundation and was entirely
demolished. There were nine families
in the house, which was large two-story
frame structure and of the fifty persons
residing there myself and my niece were
the only ones who could get away. I
managed to find raft of driftwood, OF

CONFESSED MURDER.
Peter Anstin Tells How He KiIIe,

Peter Anst1n Tells How He Killed
Charles Brewer.
POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y, Sept. 10
Peter Austin, the farmer of Storvyille
who has been in Jail since Friday on sus-
picion Of having killed Charles Brewer,
his farm hand, fourteen years ago, con-
fessed today that he killed Brewer, but
says he did 1t in self defense. The crime
was brought to light through the finding
of a skeleton in well on a farm for
merly occupied by Austin and which was
identified by shin bone which had been
broken and not properly set Austin
stoutly maintained his innocence until
this afternoon when his wife was induced
by the district attorney to go before the
grand jury and tell what she knew Of the
murder. When Austin was informed of
this and heard his wife repeat her story
he broke down and confessed.
The weak part Of Austin's story was
the absence of a motive for Brewer to
assault him, but this was supplied nv
Mrs. Austin, who said that Brewer once
threatened to kill both her and her hus-
band. This was when he expressed a de-
sire to marry her twelve-year-old daugh-
ter, now a woman of tWenty-six and
married, and as he was forty at that
time, Mrs. Austin rebuked him She
thought he was only joking and paid no
heed to his threat. She thinks that he
brooded over it and was finally led TO
commit the assault on her husband
which led to his own death, Brewer was
indicted in December, 1897, for man
slaughter for killing one Patterson at
Wappinger Falls. He was convicted for
manslaughter in the fourth degree and
sent to Sing Sing for two years. After he
came out he went to live with Austin, but
the latter says he did not know that he

for anyone that can possibly be looked

county judges, asking them to secure all
funds and provisions possible, and the
replies up to late tonight are gratifying.
The assistance lent to us by the federal
government in offering 10000 rations and
1O,090 tents will aid not a little at this
juncture. The first duty will be to look
after the living who are thirsting and In

CHICAGO, Sept 10.-The following state
ment of the storm situation addressed
to Charles S. Diehl, general manager of
the Associated Press, was received to-
night from Houston, Tex:
up to a late hour tonight no fuller de-
tails of the destructive storm of Saturday
have been received here owing to the
prostration of wires, destruction of every
bridge. The damage In Houston from
wind and water comparatively light. One
life lost here from falling wires. AT Bay
side, a resort, about twenty-five miles
from Houston, the houses were mostly
blown away and five or six deaths oc-
CURED, while fifteen or twenty people,
supposed to be drowned, are missing.
''West and southwest OF Houston for
fifty miles houses have been swept away
and losses are heavy, but no loss of life
is reported. Sugarcane at Sartac and
Sugar Lake greatly injured and mills are
in ruins. Loss on the main land In an
area of more than fifty miles square COW
cred, reach over a million with probably
score of deaths.
Galveston is yet isolated. The bridges
from the main land to the island are
destroyed, and 1t may take month to
properly repair. No boats available
since party of newspaper men and relief
party started on their way to the island
this morning or afternoon, as none has
crossed since the storm The Houston
Post correspondent at Galveston made
his way across as the, storm was abating.
From what he saw the loss was fright
full. Houses were ewashed away and
blown down. Many large vessels are
aground The greatest suffering Is for
water, as wells are spoiled and water
works destroyed. A party in small boats
went from here this morning, but nc
