 GALVESTON, TEX Sept. 10. 1900,
 My Darling Mamma zSatur day evening, in fact all night, 1 did not think l would be living to tell of the horrors of the awful calamity that has befaIlen Calves ton.
 WHOLE FAMILIES LOST.
 What shall say to give you an idea of the storm and food that we have lived through? The number Of dead cannot be estimated, while those who are alive had a narrow escape. All day esterday Sunday wagon  load after wagon load of dead bodies passed, and the work of reseuing them is still going on. Hundreds are lost, for the entire city was nine feet under water. Whole families are lost and cannot be found.
 THEIR ESCAPE.
 We were rescued by young man, after the windows in the house were blown away. We started out, not knowing at what time death would overtake Us. We walked a block in water up to our waists, while little Harry Flanders rode on horse. A family called us in aud have pro tected us ever since. They are rich people and have a beautiful home; but we owe our lives to the young man who saved us. If we had re. mained in our house we would not pave escaped, for not one piece Of furniture was left standing in it, and the building Is total wreck.
 FEW HOUSES LEFT STANDING can't begin to tell how Calves : ton looks. Few houses are left standing, the result of the wind, which was awful. We wifi be home the first chance we get. We see so many dead bodies that we think nothing of them, and they are accumilating so fast the relief parties are burying chem at sea- We have DO communication what ever with the outside world aud a young ma4 will take this letter te i Houston by boat. Will write another, longer letter in a day or two. but can never tell of the hor- TOTS of 1t all We are safe and con- sider ourselves blessed. Wired from Houston yesterday Sunday but tell Mr. Flanders to send Mss Mag gie $10O We are now at Mrs Shannon's. Only four houses art standing between this aod the beact Ca distance of nearly four blocks which is washed nearer, of course.
 My orly thought has been of th' home folks and how aoxious yo, feel about me. We're alive but thousands are dead around us. l is horrlolri horriolell

WEARING THE SHAMROCK.
The Queens Message Is Believed to
Be Misinterpreted.

NEW YORK, March ia dispatch
to the Herald from London. says:
There are ample indications that the
queens message about the soldiers
wearing the shamrock has been inter
preted in a way which her majesty can
scarcely have expected for st. Patrick's
Day is to be celebrated here as a grand
national festivity. Long ago it was
announced that the Irish national flag
would wave above the mansion house
but this also had, like the queens
message, results which could scarcely
have been expected, for it gave the idea
all over the country TO sport the green
flag. The result was that people are
wandering about clamoring for Irish
flags with which to decorate their
houses and are entirely disappointed to
hear that all such flags have been sold.
Each train is bringing in crates of
shamrock. 1t is quite safe to predict
that tomorrow all British subjects win
wear the shamrock in honor of the gal
liant Irish soldiers al the front and that
everywhere possible, the harp on the
green ground will wave alongside the
Union Jack and the National Standard.
1t will be a st. Patricks day which has
never been known before

The Gulf Terminal TO be Changed From

NEW YORK. March 1.-THE Journal
and Advertiser says:
Within a very short time the South
ern Pacific company win operate its
Morgan line Of steamships from New
York TO Galveston instead Of from New
York TO New Orleans. Large sums Of
money are now being expended upon
the construction of wharves and ware
houses at Galveston to accommodate
the business. In order 10 enter the port
Of Galveston by direct line leading to
the West and connecting with the
Southern Pacific, several small roads
have been acquired by the Southern
Pacific company. A very large saving
in expenses is expected from this
change, as more than 100 miles will be
saved by the steamships and a further
saving will be effected in reducing the
train miles on through freight.
