To Tan UnderHou.

On the ranch OF f. y. Osborn, just
west Of town, = ell is now being sunk
fJr the purpose OF testing the undertiow
mentioned in last weeks Enterprise.
The well is 10 feet square. and will be
sunk to a good flow Of water, estimlted
at from Is TO 20 feet.
The pump to bo used is machine
oW ned by Gale. of Delta, and will be
brought here and set up, and careful
record OF its work, its cost. and its
results taken, tha; the question OF dtil-
izing the underfinw al profit or at a
minimum cost may be accurately deter
mined. 1t is claimed that the pump
will do good work at tritiiug expense,
aud il Mr.. Osborn shall prove that there
is flow sufficient TO justify putting in
plants for hoistins purposes, and that
il can be raised to the surface without
too much expense. he will have solved
a problem for the settlers amons the
IN mesas OF the Uncompahgre river. From
the numerous springs which outcrop
above here. and the fact that many
strong ones never reach the river bed.
one is led to think that the underfiow
canno, help but be strong enough to
furnish an irrigation head. However.
Mr. Osborn's efforts will place the mat
ter beyond argument and prove the
fiow to a certainty. one thing only being
in the way. and that being the chance
,ha, his well will not strike the flow at
favoreblc point, which is no, all likely,

Small Damage to the Grain Elevators

art, the grain elevator builder, has ar
rived here. responding to a telegram from
General Manager Bailey of the Calves
ton Wharf company. After an inspec-
ton of the grain elevators and their con-
tents. he said the damage to the grain
elevators was not over per cent. The
wheat in elevator A will be loaded into
vessels just as rapidly as they come to
the elevator to take it. Ships are needed
here ut once. The wheat from elevators
@ and B has been injured very little.
Mr.. Bailey said he would put large
force of men to work clearing up each
of the wharves and the company will be
ready for business within the next eight
days. The wharyes have been DANA ged
very little outside of the wreckage of the
sheds With the wreckage cleared away
Galveston will be i'll as good shape for

CONFLICT OF AUTHORITY.
Militia Arrest Fifty Deputy Sheriffs
for Carrying Arms.

Galveston Tex, Sept. IA certificate
of authority due to misunderstanding
participated temporary Reorganization
OF the policing OF the city yesterday. 1t
seems that when Gen. Scurry, adjutant-
general of the Texas Volunteer guard,
arrived i'll the city with about 200 mill
tia from Houston, he conferred with the
chief of police as to plans for preserving
law and order. An order was issued by
the chief of police to the effect that the
soldiers should arrest all persons
found carrying arms unless they
showed Il written order signed by the
chief Of police or mayor giving them per-
mission to go armed. The result was
that about fifty citizens wearing deputy
sheriff badges were arrested by the sol
ders and taken to police headquarters
The soldiers had no way Of knowing by
what authority the men We're acting
with these badges and would listen to no
excuses After hurried conference be-
tween Gen. Scurry and Sheriff Thomas
it was decided that all deputy sheriffs
and special officers shall be permitted to
carry arms and pass in and out of the
guard lines. The deputy sheriffs and
special and regular police now police the
city during the daytime and the militia
takes charge of the city at night.

The stricken city is in imminent danger
of water famine The waterworks sys-

cisterns choked up, the inhabitants Of
Galveston who are still alive must be in
great suffering The electric lighting
system is wiped out, a great part of the
supplies of groceries is ruined, the hos
pitfalls are all wrecked beyond use, and
private houses and hotels are the only
resting places for the sick and injured.
The city is practically without fire pro

but even if this was not the case the fire

1t is still difficult to make accurate es-
Inmates Of the loss of life or place valu

70 them must be added the other hun

the bay and carried up by the waves
onto the shore of the mainland.
The Property Loss.
1t is even harder to make any compu-
tatiOn of the amount of damage caused
by the hurricane in Galveston, but the
rough estimates vary all the way from
$10,000,O0O to $50, 900, 900. In the entire
state it is put at from 100000 to
$50. 900. 1t is said that IS per cent.
of the buildings in the city are damaged.
Most of the hospitals and churches and
some of the public buildings have been
destroyed.
The four bridges to the mainland are
now known to be at the bottom of the
bay and the wharves and docks have
been wrecked completely or badly in
jured. while almost all the vessels in the
harbor at the time of the storm are
either sunk or stranded.
Government Sends Relief.
Washington. d. c.. Sept. 11.-Orders
nave been issued by the war department
for the immediate shipment to Galveston
of SO tents and $4,000 ratons. These
stores and supplies are divided between
st. Louis aaI San Antonio and probably
will he delivered tonight or tomorrow.
This represents about all such supplies
as the government has on hand at the
places named. but it is stated at the
department that the order could be dupll-
Gated in a day.

MARTYRS TO DUTY.
Catholic Sisters Sacrifice Themselves
TO Save Orphans.

Galveston, Tex, Sept 14.-Best in
formed residents of Galveston who have
been all over portions Of the city, esti-
of habitatiOns. From this it will be
seen how utterly impossible is the com
pletion of a list of even the better resi-
dences destroyed. 1t can be said that
no Galveston home escaped without some
damage. Those people whose houses
still stand on the foundations. with
fences carried away, shutters torn from
their fastenings, and contents of tbe
rooms water-soaked, are considered very
fortunate by neighbors who have lost ail
or nearly all.
The Catholic orphans ASYLUM disan-
peared. leaving but slight traces in the
form of ruins. For time very little of
the wreckage WAS found 1t was SIM
posed that the inmates. some ninety-nine
sisters and little children, had been sWent
out into the gulf when the waters receded
Within two days bodies of several Of tba
victims at the asylum have been found
The spectacle presented was such as 10
make stOut-hearted men, Injured by work
among the ruins, break down.
1t appeared that when the heroic sis
ters found tho waters rising all around
the asylum their only thoughts were for
their little charges. They tied the chill
dren IN punches, and then each sister
fastened to herself one of these lunches
of orphans, determined to save them or
die with them. Two of these punches
have been found under wreckagc; in each
case eight children had been fastened to-
gether and then tied to a sister.

shipping was warned, etc. The south
eastern sky was sonlber, the gulf beat
high on the beach with that dismal thun-
derous roar that presaged trouble while
the air had the stiffness that betokens
a storm. From out the north, in the mid
die watches of the night the wind began
20 come in spiteful puffs, increasing III
volume as the day dawned.
BY 10 o'clock Saturday morning it was
almost a gale at noon 1t had increased
in velocity and was driving the rain,
whipping the pools and tearing things up
in lively manner, yet no serious appre-
hension was felt by residents remote
from the entertainments of the gulf.
Residents near the beach were aroused
to the damage that threatened their
homes. Stupendous waves began to send
their waters far inland and the people
began Il haSty exit to secure places i'll the
city. Two gigantic forces were at work.
The Gulf force drove the waves with ir-
reSistible force high upon the beach and
the gale from the northeast pitched the
water against and over the wharveS,
choking the sewers and flooding the city
from that quarter. The streets rapidly
began to fill with water communication
became difficult and the helpless people
were caught between two powerful ele-
ments while the winds howled and rapid
ly increased in velocity.
Swept Up Clean.
Houston, Tex, Sept 11.-Additional
details by tug from Galveston show that
west of Thirtythird street the storm
swept the ground perfectly clear of the
residences that once stood upon it ana
piled them up i'll conglOmerated mass
five blocks back Of the beach, strewins
the pling with the debris and the bodies
Of its many victims. Many of these were
lying out in the afternoon sun and We're
frightful to look upon The fearful work
Of the storm has not been confined to the
district along the beach, but took in all
the district i'll the city and the Denver
resurvey. but it was near to the beach
that most destruction to human life oc-
Cured.
The waves washed away the Home for
the Homeless and it is thought that the
inmates. consisting of thirteen orphans
and three lady matrOnS, We're drowned
Out in the Denver reSurvey the destruc-
ton was terrible and victims of the
storm were many. The government
works were greatly damaged and the
buildings on the beach were washed out
into the gulf and their occupants are
thought to have persisted. In the north
part of the west end the damage was
great also. nearly every building being
damaged to some extent and many are
completely wrecked. The cotton and um-
Der yards in that section of the city were
completely razed. Much valuable ma
chinery is ruined. However, the loss Of
life was not nearly so great in that dis
trict as it was out towards the beach.
