OFF FOR GALVESTON.
Miss Clara Barton and star Leave
for the Stricken City.

The Southern train that pulled out OF
| the Pennsylvania depot at 10:45 last night
| for tho South had aboard Miss Clara Bar
ton President OF the American National
Red Cross: Mrs. Ellen Spencer Mussey.
| Third Vice President of the Red Gross:
! Miss Fanny B. Ward. Gen. W. H. Sears
James A. Mcdowell, and H. w. Lewis. oi
/ this city The following from New York
were with Miss Barton's party: Howard
| Talmadge. Fred Ward, and Miss Agnes
| Coombs They go direct to Houston, and
| from there by boat to the storm-swep'
city of Galveston. where they will enter
upon their work of mercy.
Quite a number OF friends were at the
depot to see Miss Barton and staff off, and
to wish them godspeed- Among them were
| Judge E. C. Foster, Mrs. L. w. Calver,
| Mrs H. N. Rose. Mrs. f. X. Temple, and
Miss Helen Matthew's. all members of the
| Red Cross
ALI the members of Miss Barton's staff
! that left last night have had more or less
| experience in the field. Miss Fanny b.
| Ward, it will be remembered, was with
Miss Barton in Cuba during the war with
Spain. and did splendid work among the
soldiers.
In answer to a question from a reporter
Miss Barton said the length Of her stay
would depend largely on how she found
the condition OF affairs at Galveston. She
will take immediate charge on her ar
rival, and with the assistance of her staff
she will map out plan of work. AS soon
as she starts the machinery and has every
thing working smoothly she will return to
the Red Cross headquarters in this city.
Miss Barton said there was no need to
take an army OF nurses from here. as there
would be plenty of willing hands on the
scene of suffering to carry into effect the
plan for relief as laid down by the Red
Cross
Mrs. Mussey said the reason no supplies
were taken with them last night was be-
cause the supplies gathered in New York
had been turned over to the Red Cross
and would be in Houston before the ar
rival Of Miss Barton.
Miss Barton does not subscribe to the
opinion expressed by SO many people that
there is grave danger of a pestilence in
Galveston. In ale of her experience she
said last night, sac never knew a pesti-
lence to follow flood, and should there
be one in Galveston 1t would be an excep-
tion and would be surprise to her. Miss
Barton received a telegram last night
from Judge A. W. Terrell. of Texas, ex-
Minister to Turkey, saying the services
of the Red Cross were sadly needed in
Galveston.
In addition to the Red Cross the Sal
vation Army people are doing noble work
in the cause of relief for the needy and
suffering in the Inflated city of Calves
ton. In this city Adiutant Edith Birgen.
of the Salvation Army. has charge Of the
work of soliciting contributions Of cloth
ing and foodstuffs for the relief party
t,-hf fcI. tada in OH
of Brigadier Stillwel. The people Of
Washington, Adjutant Edith Birgen says,
have quickly responded to the appeals for
help and have been most generous in their
contributions. in every city the Sal
walton Army. she says. is at work in be-
half OF the homeless and helpless G! GAL
weston.

GENEROUS RESPONSES MADE.
Millions on the wny for the Relief
of Galveston.

AUSTIN, Tex, Sept. 12.-Good progress
was made in Kidding Galveston of its
hapless population today. Several hun
dred of those who were brought to the
mainland did not stop in Houston. where
ample quarters have been prepared for
them, but are scattering over the State
in care of relatives or friends.
Governor Sayers received hundreds Of
contributions today The total amount
obtained from various sources up to this
time aggregates about $780, 900 Aid is
badly needed at Alvin. Angleton. and
other smaller towns which were destroyed
by the storm. The Governor was notified
today that there was great suffering at
Alvin.
Thomas Caldwell, a young man of this
city, who was visiting in Galveston when
the storm came arrived here today. He
says the necessity of getting everybody
from the city at the earliest possible
moment is urgent. There are numer-
| Gus cases of typhoid fever in the
city, and new cases are developing with
great rapidity. He states that all build
ings that were built in recent years were
destroyed, but the older buildings with
stood the storm remarkably well. He
estimates that he saw over $500 dead
bodies
Governor Sayers makes the request that
all contributions of money be made to him
and not through local organizations at
Galveston or Houston. A number Of un-
authorized committees have been solicit
ing contributions, and in order to prevent
the misuse of the contributions the Gov
ernor suggests that these contributions be
made direct 10 him, thereby enabling those
in position to judge best to dispose of the
amounts contributed. II is thought that
contributions will reach $3,000.000 before
the end of the week. This amount will be
needed, however, to supply the pressing
needs Of the victims of the storm.
Governor Sayers says Galveston must
and will be rebuilt. He urges the people
of the country to give all the encourage
ment possible in this direction.
with this encouragement for rebuild
ing of the great gulf city, it will not
be sixty days before a wonderful change
will be wrought In the experience OF the
city" said the Governor.
Galveston has occupied too grand
position as one of the great commercial
and shipping centres of this State and
country TO be abandoned because of this
calamity. Another visitation may never
occur. Buildings erected in the future
can be so constructed as to guard against
collapse should another hurricane visit
the city"

LOSSES ON THE MAINLAND.
Hundreds of Homeless People Suffer
ing From Lack of Attention.

GALVESTON, Sept. 13.-Reports that
have reached here from places on the
mainland which were devastated by the
storm state that the situation there is
fully as bad as at Galveston, except that
the suffering is on a smaller scale. There
are hundreds of homeless people at Alvin.
Angieton, Seabrooke, and other places
which were destroyed and they are suf-
fering from want of food and clothing.
Relief committees have not yet gotten to
their aid, as all the attention SO far has
been directed to Galveston.
Physicians have arrived from all parts
of the State and there is now sufficient
aid of this kind unless an epidemic should
break cut. There are several hundred
children in the city who were made or
phans by the storm. The local orphans
homes acquainted the Governor with this
fact and asked that as many as possible
be admitted to the State orphans home
at Corsicana, there being room there for
100 of these unfortunates. Efforts are be-
ing made to find temporary homes in pri-
vate families for the remainder. The wa
ters OF the gulf and bay continue to cast
up the bodies of the dead on the main
land. 1t may be several days before the
work OF recovering these bodies is COM
pleted. -s-re
Tons and tons of food and clothing are
being piled on the mainland awaiting
transportation to Galveston. II the city
is temporarily depopulated it will be nee
essary to haul all supplies back again to
Houston. Train load after train load OF
food and clothing are arriving at points,
the nearest railroad points on the main
land, and these supplies are being guarded
by the relief committees.
Relief work here is well systemized. A
gang Of the lawless element, who nave
been infesting this city since the storm
and have been preyiug upon the remains
and wrecked homes of the uafortunates,
were driven out of here last night by the
police and troops. There are some des-
perate characters among these men as is
always the case in such shipping centres.
The city is well patroIled, and when
pillager is caught he is promptly shot. 1t
is reported that over seventy-five of these
ghouls have been shot during the past
three nights by the patrolmen- The sum-
mary killing is approved by the law
abiding people of the city.

CATHOLIC CHURCHES TO AID.
Call for Contributions for Texas
Storm Sufferers Anticipated.

The Catholic clergy of this city antici-
pate that Cardinal Gibbons will issue a
call for contributions for the sufferers
from the catastrophe at Galveston. A
corps Of nurses from the Sisters of Char
ity and the Sisters of Mercy, 1t is ex-
pected, will be despatched to the scene of
the storms ravages, TO care for the sick
and to give such assistance as may be
possible. A general collection in the Cath
olic churches will doubtless be made.
At the time of the. Johnstown food this
was done and a large amount was raised
The services of the Sisters who acted as
nurses were most acceptable. When the
See of Chicago suffered loss of So, 900, 900
at the great Chicago fire every diocese in
the United States made contributions,
which enabled the Bishop Of Chicago to
rebuild the destroyed churches with un-
expected despatch. During the Armenian
troubles, large collection was taken, and
the eighteen congregations OF the city of
Washington alone contributed $4,000.
Similar generosity is assured in view
of the present need of the stricken people
of Galveston.

ovERTAKEN BY THE FLOOD.
Eighty-nve Passengers on n Train
Drowned Sear Galveston.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 13.-It was
learned today for the first time that eighty
five passengers on the Gulf and Inter
state Railroad, which left Beaumont Sum
day for Bolivar Point, en- route to CAL
weston. were lost in Galveston. Hon. John
Il Poe. member OF the State Board Of
Education, and one Of the few survivors
among the passengers. gives the informa-
ton.
The train reached Bolivar Point. oppo-
site Galveston. about noon. and prepara-
tions were made to run it on the ferry
boat, to be carried to Galveston. but the
wind blew SO hard that the ferry could not
make a landing. and the conductor of the
train, after allowing 1t stand on the tracks
for few minutes. started to back 1t toward
Beaumont
The wind increased so rapidly, coming
from the open sea, that soon the water
had reached q level with the bottom OF
the seats IN the cars. II was then that
some OF the passengers sought safety in
the nearby lighthouse. In spite of all ef-
forts eighty-hve passengers were blown
away or drowned. The train was entirely
wrecked.

CONDOLENCES FROM FRANCE.
MesxnEe From President Loubet md
Dir. MckinIey's Answer.


The following cablegram from President
Loubet expressing the sympathy of the
French people for the Texas hurricane
sufferers has been received:
ITO His Excelleney, the President of
the United States Of America:
THE news of the disaster which has
Just devastated the State of Texas
has deeply moved me. The sentiments
of traditional friendship which unite
the two Republics can leave no doubt
in your mind concerning the very sim
cere share that the President, that
the Government of the Republic, and
the whole nation take in the calamity
that has proved such a cruel ordeal
for so many families in the United
States. II is natural that France
should participate in the sadness as
we'll as in the Joy OF the American
people. l take it to heart to tender
to your Excellency our most heartfelt
condolences, and to send to the fami-
lies of the victims the expression of
our afflicted sympathy.
EMILE LOUBET."
President Mckinley replied:
Executive Mansion,
Washington, ID. c., Sept. 13.
"His Excellency, Emile Loubet, Presi-
dent of the French Republic:
81 hasten TO express, in the name
of the thousands who have suffered by
the disaster in Texas, as well as in
behalf of the American people, heart
felt thanks for your touching message
of sympathy and coincidence.
WILLIAM M'KINLEY."
