RESTORING THEIR LINES.
The Telegraph Companies Getting
Their Lines in working Order.


Galveston, Tex, Sept. 15.-Tele-
graph and railroad lines are being
rapidly restored. The Postal Tele-
graph Cable Co. has four wires work
ing into the city, and within 4s hours
will have their system almost COM
pletely re-established to the basis ex-
listing before the storm.
The Western Union is in even better
shape, but with both companies the
stringing of wires has been but tenn
porary, time being the all-important
consideration at present.
Railroads Pushing Things.
Acting in conjunction with the 9TH
er roads, the Santa Fe is bending
every energy toward the building of a
temporary structure across the bay
for the running of their trains into
Galveston and to the wharves, which
will probably be ready for the load
ing of vessels before the first train
arrives. The wharves themselves
withstood the buffeting of the awful
storm to remarkable degree, and
as soon as the piles of debris are re-
moved, ships will be able to load
and unload with but little inconven-
fence.

Later news from the great disaster
on the Texas coast, received, on the
10th, say that Sabine Pass and Port
Arthur were practically uninjured in
the awful visitation, but abate moth
ing of the first reports of death and
destruction at Galveston, and the
score of other towns heard from. The
dead will number thousands, and the
property loss must reach many mill
ions of dollars. Full details of the
calamity will not be known for days.
Il. G. Lowe, of the Galveston News,
writes, under date the 18th: "A sum-
mary of the conditions prevailing at
Galveston is more than the human in
tellect can master. Briefly stated, the
damage to property is anywhere be-
tween fifteen and twenty millions.
The loss of life can not be computed.
No lists could be kept and all is sim
ply guesswork. Those carried out to
sea and buried on the ground wher-
ever found viii reach the horrible to-
tal of at least three thousand"
