RELIEF FORCE ORGANIZED.
Houston People Take Steps to Aid the
Flood Sufferers. -~

Houston. Sept. 11.-Pursuant to the
proclamation of Mayor Brashear, issued
Sunday night, a citizens meeting was
held in the city council chamber last
night for the purpose of organizing for
the relief of the victims of the storm at
Galveston and other places where relief
is needed.
A subcommittee was appointed to
take action for the relief of the food
sufferers and secure what is needed in
the way of supplies that can be had and
taken by tug to Galveston. Immedi-
ately after the meeting the committee
went to work.
The following telegram came to the
mayor from Governor Sayers during the
meeting and was read to those assem-
bled:
"AUsTIN, Sept, Ill have taken the
liberty of directing that all supplies of
food and clothing for Galveston be
shipped to you. viii you undertake to
forward the money received to the
proper committee at Galveston for dis
tribution. Answer quick.
'JosEPH d. SAVERS, Governor. ("
Mayor Brashear Immediately replied,
stating that Houston was organized for
the relief of the sufferers and that all
supplies would be distributed where
needed the worst from this point.
A telegram from Arcola was received
stating that there was 10 people there,
mostly women and children, in urgent
need of relief.

GALVESTON, Sept. 1.-THE horrors OF
Sunday were as nothing compared with
Monday. An attempt was made to bury
the dead, but the ground was full OF
water and it was impossible to dig
trenches.
Alderman McMaster and NJ p. Nor
rissey secured authority to have the
bodies taken to sea for burial and a
barge was brought up to the Twentieth
street wharf for that purpose. The fire.
men rendered heroic service in bringing
the bodies to the wharf, but it was al
most impossible to get men to handle
them. The most of the men appealed to
to work for the city declined.
During the storm and afterward a
great deal of looting was done. Many
stores had been closed, their owners
leaving to look after their families. The
wind forced in the doors and windows
and left the goods prey for the ma
RAIDERS.
Ghouls stripped dead bodies of jew
elry and articles of value.
Captain Rafferty,, commanding the
United States troops here, was appealed
to for help and he sent in 20 men, the
remnant of the battery of artillery, to do
police duty. They are patroling the
streets under the direction of the chief
Of police.

BURY THE DEAD AT SEA.
Later Reports Reveal the Full Extent
of the Horror.


Houston, Sept. "details from the
storm swept district of Texas hourly
dlscloses more heart rending features
and confirm earlier rumors of one of the
greatest catastrophes of late years. No
wire communications is yet possible
with the city of Galveston and the only
definite news obtained so far, has come
by tug boats and refugees.
There seems to be no ground for the
hope that fuller details will show re-
duction in the number of lives lost and
a conservative estimate is given at 1000
dead all told. The property loss is per-
haps even higher than at first given.
In the city of Galveston the dead are
being gathered up as rapidly as posi-
BILE, taken to sea on barges and there
consigned to their last resting place.
This action is necessary to protect the
survivors from pestilence and because
the ground is too wet yet to permit of
digging graves.
Ghouls have begun their work and
bodies are being stripped Of their valua-
bles.
relief trains are hurrying forward
with supplies as rapidly as possible.
Outside of Galveston smaller towns are
beginning to send in reports as tele-
graphic communication is restored and
the list of dead and property losses are
received.
Richmond and Hitchcock each report
IS lives lost. Alta Iona, Arcadia, Vel
asco, Seabroole and many other towns
have from one to eight dead.
In most of these places many houses
have been totally destroyed, and thous-
ands of head of live stock killed
The railroads alone will suffer mil
lions Of dollars in actual damage, to say
nothing of the loss from stoppage of
business. The International and Great
Northern and Santa Fe have miles of
track washed out and the bridges con-

inmates, consisting of 80 orphans and
three lady matrons, were drowned. Out
in the Denver re. survey the destruction
was terrible and it is thought that many
of the soldiers at Fort Crockett, together
with number of the residents of that
place, were among the many victims OF
the storm.
The buildings on the beach were
washed out into the gulf and their occu-
pants are thought to have persisted. In
the north part of the West end the dam
age was great also, almost every build
ing was damaged to some extent and
many are completely wrecked. The
cotton and lumber yards which are in
that section of the city were completely
RACED to the ground and much valuable
machinery is ruined. However, the loss
is not nearly SO great in that district as
it was out toward the beach.

and dollars, the tenant houses are down
and the total damage outside CT the
crops are estimated at $50, 200. There
are no houses left standing on the Cor
don plantation at Harlem. The cotton
fields are stripped clean.
Richmond is reported to have been
very nearly wrecked. Eighteen persons
are reported killed, most of them me-
groes. In the country Immediately
about the town and for % miles from
the town, there is not house standing
ON the prairie Most of the dead SO far
located are in the two small villages OF
Heedville and Beasley. One man was
killed on the Booth plantation and the
plantation wrecked At Ell Campo every
house has been damaged from $50 to
So, 900, both residences and business
houses.
At Arcola two persons were killed and
several injured seriously. At the Howse
plantation, 2 miles west of the railroad
station, the damage inflicted by the ele-
ments was great. Two new residences
were wrecked. Sugar mills, cane sheds,
stock sheds, convict barracks, plantation
quarters and everything else in the way
of improvements were either totally de-
stroyed or rendered utterly useless and
uninhabitable All crops were ruined
and many head of stock killed.
On the plantation Denis stock are
killed and several people injured. They
worked heroically for the protection of
life and property.
Two boarding cars were blown out on
the main line which were blown 10
miles away to Sandy Point, where they
colided with number of other board
ing cars, killing two and inJuring IL OF
the occupants Of the latter.
A dead Chinaman, destruction Of all
houses except one and the restitution OF
some so families is the woeful record OF
the hurricane at Arcadia.
From 90 other towns comes reports
that buildings had been wrecked and
demolished. Most of them have been
injured, but no dead are reported.
The same fatality regarding churches
that appeared in the first days report
shows up There are evidently few
churches in the hurricane district that
are in condition to be used with any
safety

Eyewitnesses.
Houston, Sept 1.-THE Santa Fe ran
its first relief train to Hitchcock this
morning, finding pretty much the same
condition of affairs along its line as pre-
vailed along the Galveston, Houston and
Henderson railroad, along which Super
intendent Trice of the International and
Great Northern travelled. In many
places the homeless inhabitants of the
section traversed by the Santa Fe were
found housed in empty box cars, while
others were sitting hopelessly on the
wreck of their household effects piled to-
gether in promiscuous heaps. Many of
the sufferers are destitute and without
means to reach friends or relatives in
other parts of the state and will have to
be given free transportation to places
where they are sure of obtaining shelter
and sustenance.
Every building in Pearland was either
damaged or destroyed, but fortunately
no lives were lost there.
At Alvin the story is more gloomy.
Besides the great damage to property
that town has the following deaths to
record from the storm, in addition to
the seven previously reported:
Alvin's Death Roll.
Mrs. J. W. Collins, killed by falling
timbers.
Mrs. Collins.
Mr.. w. p. Hawley, resident of AL
win, met death In similar manner.
w. O. Metsam and wife, seriously in
jured by pieces of building material,
which struck them as their dwelling fell
about their heads.
The information from Angleton is
that it and the surrounding country suf-
fered severely from the storm and that
assistance is much needed there.
Algoa, Arcadia and Alto Iona show
signs of severe visitation and many
are in need of help in each place. The
l2-year-old son Of James Bodecher was
killed at Arcadia. Two children lost
their lives at Alto Iona
At Hitchcock 16 lives were lost. Two
Italian families of IL nanrala lost 10 of

Houston, Sept. 11.--Additional de-
tails by tug from Galveston say that
west of Thirty-third street the storm
swept the ground perfectly clean of the
residences that once stood upon it and
piled them up in a conglomerated mass
five blocks back on the beach, strewing
the piling with the debris and the bodies
of its many victims. Many of those
were lying out In the afternoon sun and
were frightful to look upon. The fear
full work of the storm was not confined
to the district along the beach, but took

mangled and buffeted about by the drift
and wreckage as to make it difficult to
identify them. They were washed
ashore near Seabrooke yesterday morn
ing and were sent up to Houston in the
first train over the LaPorte railroad.
The same train brought the bodies Of

Wood was substantially remembered by
the members of his congregation, purse
containing $50 being presented to him.
There was a large attendance at the
Congregational church on Christmas
eve, and very enjoyable program was
offered. 1t closed with the cantata of
"The Enchanted Garden" which was
well rendered. The garden had brick
wall around it which the fairies who
took part concluded to change into
candy. The wall was then torn down
and the candy bricks distributed among
the little ones. The music was unusu-
ally pleasing, Prof. Dow's chorus of boys
being leading feature.
Christmas was celebrated at st. Mi
chaers Episcopal church with morning
prayer and sermon and evening prayer.
At both services the musical numbers
were especially fine, the full vested boy
choir, under direction of Prof Wilson,
doing most excellent work.

CHRISTMAS At THE CHURCHES
Many Fine Programs and Much Merriment for
the Youngsters.

There was Christmas tree at the
Presbyterian church and Santa Claus
who knew his business, at least so all the
children seemed to think. He was i'm
personated by W. B. Dudley, who was
rugged out regardless of present climat-
ical conditions, but he carried heavy
pack with him, and none were forgotten
The musical program was well carried
out.
The Christmas program at the Christ
ian church, Monday evening, proved of
very entertaining nature, and especi-
ally We're the children pleased. The
novelty OF the occasion was the intro
duction of the son OF Santa Claus. The
old man said he was getting too rheu-
matte to move about much, and he
wanted to break in his son John, who
made noisy appearance in a great fur
coat trimmed with sleigh bells, but he
had little remembrances for every one of
the school children.
The Christmas exercises at the NJ. +.
church Monday evening drew a crowded
house. The decorations were pretty,
the music good and the recitations by
the children exceptionally well rendered.
After the program, bags filled with can
dy and nuts were distributed to the
members of the Sunday school. 1t was
intended to present each member with
little gift but the box containing the
presents has been delayed and the scho-
lars were notified TO be on hand at Sum
