from Houston. Texas, says:
In the, relief train which, Conductor

baggage car corpse. Powers was en-
ployed at Virginia Point as baggage
distinguished himself as a lifesayer at
Texas city. having rescued many peo-
pie. After saving the lives OF others he
himself was drowned by an accident
Cqnducfor Powers reports that the two
freight trains. one Of the International

Houston at 1880 Saturday morning. ar
rived at Virginia Point in safety but
could go no further. In the storm Sat-
nrday they were both overturned and
the care were washed of tho right OF
way, the crews escaping. They set about
az once in the work OF rescuing the peo-
pie who lived there. Up to yesterday af-
bodies. ten Of whom were women, and
the work is still going. G. Roesing. a
contractor who lives In the Bruner dis
triet, came DIN from Genoa, where he
had been constructing a school building
and reported that every building in the
town was blown down and made toatl

sIr. Joyce. another refuge from CAL
weston, makes the following statement:
The wind was blowing Saturday az
miles an hour blowing the water in
from the gulf and completely covering
the city The people Of Galveston did
rot think II was much at FIRST, and kept
within their homes. Consequently when
the wind began blowing aus 1t did and the
water dashing against the houses. COM
pletely demolishing them. many lives
were lost. / have no idea how many
lives were lost. but think there win be
several thousand deaths reported. be-
nothing about.
Il was In the storm which struck Gal
weston in 1875, but that one, bad as II
was. was nothing In comparison with
Saturdays. The gulf and bay are full
OF wreckage of every description. and II
seems as II every frame house In the
town must have been blown down and
Knocked 10 pieces. Judging from the
amount OF drift wood that Is floating
about. l am going back to Galveston
just as soon as / can to find my sisters

was growing fercer.
Since that time he has not been heard
from A passenger train returned this
afternoon. having reached a point
quarter Of mile from the old town.
The track was washed away from there
on The station agent at Sabine Pass
waded and swan out to the train, but
could give no details of the damage He
had not left his office. but thought that
lives had been lost From the train
people could be seen wading about in
the water. which seemed to be from two
TO four feet deep.
This. country's greatest loss VIII be to
the rice crop. No report can be OBJ
tanned from the county, but several large
planters In the city estimate that stand
ing rice will be a total loss. Some farm
ers had cut nearly the entire crop and
thus saved IT, while others had just be-
gun cutting OF 1i.oc0 acres belonging
10 the Beaumont Irrigation Company,
only a few acres have been harvested
and the whole crop will be lost.

BATTLESHIP DAMAGED ny IMPACT
OF THE MAY FLINT.

nected and That She Must nt Once

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept e.-Thousands
of people thronged the water front today
To view the sunken bark May Flint.
which coilided In the bay last night with
the United states battleship Iowa.
1t is probable that she may be raised II
her back is not broken In which event
she will be blown up. that her cargo Of
5000 tons Of coal may be saved. She
rests at the bottom OF the bay in eigh-
teen fathoms OF water and in the very
heart Of the fairway for vessels which
ply between San Francisco 10 the Mole
OF the narrow gauge railroad, on the
other side OF the bay, She is valued at
$4,000. and arrangements have been made
10 send down divers. There is no insur-
. ance upon her. and whatever loss she
represents must be sustained by her
owners.
The officers OF the battleship Iowa are
extremely angry at what they consider
to be the criminal daring of the captain
OF the May Flint. While the tremendous
ram OF the hattleship sent the sailing
craft 10 the bottom II Is feared that he
warship did not escape unframed and
that she must he locked for repairs.
1t is feared that her ram has been de-
Elected. and that immediate attention must
be given TO the injury. The May Flint
practically fell upon the Iowa with a
weight of 1000 tons, and this. IL Is be-
lteved. inflicted serious damage. Capt
Woodside. of the May Flint, said today
that he expected tug at the mouth OF
the bay to conduct the vessel inside. Find
ing none, he concluded to sail In.
When I saw we were getting danger
ously near the Iowa" he said ordered
the topsails backed, but II was too late
10 avert the disaster, think we sat down
on the Iowa's ram and the next swell
carried us OF again. The Iowa's boys gave
US a great cheer as we sheered Off, think
ing we were not damaged. We drifted
away into the mist. and don't think half
a dozen people on the battleship knew we
had sunk until they saw the morning pa
