STORM INCIDENTS.
Heroic Deeds and Narrow Escapes
Related by Refugees.

Houston, Tex, Sept 13-People from
Galveston tell of getting out of their
houses just in the nick of time They tell
of seeing people struck by flying tim
bers and crushed to death before their
eyes. One man was cut off from his
family just as he thought he had them
rescued, and saw them sink beneath the
water on the other side of a barrier.
He turned in and helped to rescue others
who were in peril. One woman carried
her five months old babe in her arms
from her house, only to see a beam
strike the child on the head, killing it
instantly. She herself suffered a broken
leg and bruised body.
Eighteen people were caught in the
Gorthger. grocery store, and it is pre-
sumed that all were lost as many have
been reported dead who were known to
have been in the building, which was
swept away entirely The firemen buried
eight people south OF Avenue o today.
The graves were marked with pieces or
garments worn by the persons.
VIII Love, a printer on the Houston
Post, who formerly lived in Galveston,
swan the bay Monday to reach his fam
lily, whom he found to be alive in Gal
weston. He swan from pier to pier on
the railroad bridge and at each he
rested.
In the Bolivar light house, which
stands 100 feet high on Bolivar Point,
across the bay from Galveston, about 125
people sought refuge from the storm
Saturday evening. Many were unfor-
the hurricane and others residents of
Galveston who had come to the bay
shore in their frantic endeavors to reach
Galveston and their families. The
refugees spent an awful night in the
light house Saturday night. The supply
of fresh water was soon exhausted, and
an effort was made to secure water by
catching rain water in buckets suspend
ed at the top OF the light house. The
experiment was success in a way. but
it demonstrated a remarkable incident
of the force of the wind The bucket
was soon filed with water, but it was
salty and could not be used The salt
water spray was shot skyward over $50
feet and mingled with the rain water
that fell in the buckets.
From the top of the light tower sew
eral of more venturesome storm suffer-
ers viewed the destructive work of the
wind on Galveston island. Twelve dead
bodies were recovered near the light
house.
Mr.. Multi a sterekeeper lost his life
after a display of uncommon heroism.
When the storm struck the city he hitch
ed up a one horse cart and started out
to rescue his neighbors. Cart load after
cart load he carried in safety to fire
house. On three occasions the cart load
Of human beings, some half dead, others
crazed with fright, was carried for
blocks by the raging current, but he
landed all of them safely, even to his
last load, when he met his death AS

would be a man, wife and child or
two but these cases We're rare, nearly
all of those who came in having suffer
ed the loss OF one or more members of
their families.
Never were there SO many sad hearts
Bereft of wives and children; women who
were widowed; children who were par
entless-it was enough to touch the heart
of any one, and it did so. Never was
there more heroism shown. Although a
week ago these people had happy homes
they are now homeless and penniless.
They bore up bravely. True they all
wore sad expressions. but there was no
whimpering, no complaining They were
all made to feel that Houston Is now
their home, that they are welcome and
that everything for their comfort and
housed and fed and those in need OF
medical attention are placed in the hos
pitfalls, where they receive every care.

Aver tarde Sc reuni6 en- San

retraimiento Immediate. Aunque no
assist a la session; aunque no Sc dig
naron citarme mis- companeros; aun-
que no comparto sus opiniones en-
asunto tan grave; aunque creo que ell
partido federal debe ir la lu-
cha V 81 es precise d la derrota,
reconozco la autoridad del ComitG
eiecutivo, delegada por la asamblsa
para este case, y cumplir6 ell acuerdo
sin discutirlo, por mas que no deba
nj pueda excusarme de exponer mi
criterio con absolute franqueza.
Va saba yo como ignorarlo 2
que las violencias dc San Juan achi-
caban algunos espiritus inclinan1o-
los d la inercia y al reposo. Va sa-
bia yo que eran muchos los fedora
les ganosos de abstenerse 6 inhibirse.
Pero saba tambi6n que la gran ma
sa federal quiere la lucha q todo
trance. Ell voto de la asamblea de-
Caguas fu6 decisive. Sc debatlo ell
retraimiento con tanta amplitud u
Sc hizo la votaci6n con tanta indie
pendencia, que los amigos mas es-
trechamente ligados mi Sc decide
ron contra mi actitud personal. Ell
partido, sin embargo, por 1873 con-
ira Is, resolvi6 acudir a las urnas.
Hoy el partido acatara la voz
de sus jefes, reprimira sus en6rgicos
impulses, mantendra Ia discipline, y
a los comicios no Sc acercara nj un
solo correHgionario nuestro. Dimos
cien pruebas de abnegaci6n. Seguire-
mos dandoIas, por mucho que nos

que solo subiran en- virtud de la abs
tencl0n que nos impone Ia acerba IA

Crei yo que era bueno estu-
dlar hasta que punto llegan las par
clahdades del gobernador y los abu-
SOS del partido republicano creia yo
que importaba al pals contemplar ell
desarrollo fntegro de la siniestra
farsa en- cuya virtud ha de aparecer

es enorme mayorfa en- la concien-
cla popular; y creia del mismo mo-
do que ante la coacci6n Y la anne
naza no retroceden iamas nj los
hombres III los partidos.
Contlnuo crey6ndolo: en- hi ce-
rebro no Sc produce la ratification sin
que anteceda robusta la conviction.
Pero cuando Sc reune ell cuerpo di-

to; cuando al sustituirseme en- la pre-
sldencla soy un soldado no mas en-

ante la orden y me dispongo a Sos

zan los jefes federales.

trarlos al acuerdo, como 10 fueron en-
