Buildings had been torn down and tho
material scattered over the ground
for miles. Trees had been pulled up
by the roots and denudrel OF their
branches. Fields that had been smil-

Just after he had come into national

The last one of the crowd was a girl
who was deaf and dumb All she
wanted was to see the president. Lin

wrote answers on the girls tablet and
talked with her in that way.
sFinally my time came and Lincoln
turned and saw me sitting to one side.
i had never met him but the one
time some years ago in Columbus, but
he knew me at once, and said: Have
you been here all this time? Why
didn't you let me know it,? And
then he went on to talk about various
things. Finally he said: You are go
ing to defeat Sammy out in your dis
trict this time, aren't you?' referring
to a democratic candidate for con
gress in Ohio. told him I thought
so. Then he continues: u understand
Sammy is a great friend of mine just
as warm friend as / have. He re-
minds me of a hog that old Sam
Brown had 1t got out and was gone
for some time. Sam could see where it
had been roofing along the creek and
he said one morning to one of his sons
that the boy was to go along one side

lite Outside of Gnlvcstom
Houston, Sept. 10.-The Interna-
tional and Great Northern ran out
two trains yesterday in the hope of
getting through to Galveston The
second train left at and got through
as far as Lamarque. 1t remained there
until nearly midnight and returned to
the city, as the track beyond was
washed away and it was impossible
to reach Virginia Point, whence
boats can cross to Galveston All
along the route We're evidences of he
ruin and havoc wrought by the ele-
ments. From one-half to two-t birds of
the Western Union wires are down.
1T will take some time to repair the
damage. AT Genoa the depot is to-
tai wreck, all other buildings are Sc
Nerely twisted, some being demoi-
ished. AT Webster the wind had COM
pletely demolished half the houses i'm
town. At Clear Creek stores and res
licences We're blown down, and at
Dickinson the havoc was almost com
plcte. Six persons were killed and a
number of dead cattle were lined up
on the side of the road Refugees
from Virginia Point say everything
was swept away and that the beach is
strewn with pianos and household
effects from Galveston. One man
says he saw six dead bodies on the
beach
The Morning News today prints an
appeal for contributions i'm cash,
clothing and provisions for the needy
and suffering people of Galveston and

At Virginia Point all the houses were
destroyed. Four or five coiorcd pco-

At Dickinson many buildings were

Seems OF DEATH AND RUIN.
Water Ten Feet Deep in the Streets
OF Galveston.

Galveston, Tex, Sept. lo.-six hun
bred to 1000 persons killed; the city
almost in ruins: the wharf front en-
tirely gone; every ocean steamer
stranded; death and destruction on
every hand with money loss that
cannot be estimated--so far as can
be learned this is the result of the
appalling calamity that has befallen
Galveston. The great storm left here
n helpless, stricken people compelled
to appeal to the outside world for aid
An accurate count of the dead is
impossible now The real number of
killed probably never will be known.
The waterworlls are in ruins and els
terms destroyed. The lack of water
is one of the most serious features of
the present troubles. Electric light
and telegraph poles are nearly all
Frustrated and streets are Uttered
with every conceivable character of
debris. There is hardly a habitable
house in the entire city; nearly every
business house is badly damaged,
schools and churches, elevators, ware
houses, the electric light plant, and
cotton factories are in ruins. From
Tremot to Beach not vestige of a
residence is to be SEEN. The steamer
Alamo lies upon the top of the NAL
Tory wharf, and big English cotton
laden steamers were driven ashore at
Texas City. Other vessels are aground
at different parts of the bay, some
hopelessly wrecked.
Business Section Submerged.
In the business sections of the CITY
the water was from three to ten feet
deep. In stores stocks of all kinds,
including foodstutfs, are Il total loss,
During Saturday night it was com
mon thing to see women and children
emerging FROM their homes dazed
and bleeding from wounds, wadng
neck deep with babies i'm their arms.
10 add to the calamity the city is cut
off entirely from the world. Tele-
graph lines are down and the cable
connecting Galveston with Mexico is
cut.
At Texas City the wharvcs are de-
stroyed, the water front is Uttered
with debris. Three lives were lost.
The railway track was washed away.
The only exit is by foot and convey
ance to Lamarque.
Began Saturday Morning,
The storm commenced raging be-
tween and 10 o'clock Saturday morn
ing. BY noon the waters from the
gulf had inundated the island as far
as Twelfth street. From there the
waters gradually encroachcd further
inland, rising about fifteen inches
per hour. AT p. IN. there was thir-
fy-slN inches of water in the Hobbies
OF the fremont hotel the highest
point in the city. After o'clock the
water gradually receded, but the
