A DESTRUCTIVE HURRICANE
Three Thousand Lives Lost and Much
Property Destroyed at Galveston.

Dallas, Tex, September 9.-Althougl
only meager details have been received
of the great storm which devastated
Southern end Central Texas last night
and today, enough is known TO how
that it was the most destructive hurri'
cane in the history of the State.
Estimates OF the loss of life place
the total in the stricken district q,
from 5000 to $500. The damage tc
property will he enormous.
The city of Galveston, owing to ITS
location on an island, suffered an ap.
palling loss of life and property. How
many residents have persisted or how
much property has been destroyed can
only be conjectured. All efforts to get
into communication with the stricken
city have been futile. .e-.
A dispatch from Houston says: "Ihe
relief train sent toward Galveston Just
returned. 1t could not et.closer than
six miles from Virginia Point, where
the prairie was covered with lumber,
pianos, trunks and dead bodies.
1.-TWO hundred bodies were counted
from the train.
ga large steamer is stranded two
miles this side tf Virginia Point, as if
thrown up by tidal wave.
Nothing can be seeu of Galveston,
1.-Two men were picked up who
foated across the mainland. They say
they estimate the less Of life up to the
time they left at two thousand"
Further details Of the efforts to send
this relief train into Galveston were
given in dispatch from Houston. 1t
reads: g.
ga relief train that left here at 10
a. m. returned at s o'clock tonight.
Tue trainmen report that they got
within six miles of Virginia Point, or
within 10 miles of Galveston.
The rail- DAD tracks and bridges are
all washed away beyond. There was
fearful loss OF life and property all
along the roal The water is Is feet
deep at Virginia Point, which is
enough to submerge Galveston Island"
Virginia Point, for which place the
relief train was bound, is a station on
the Galveston, Ho custom and Hendel-
son railroad at the junction of the
Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe line. 1t
is in Galveston conunty.
