THE STRICKEN CITY.

Galveston is seaport Of Texas, and
the largest city of the State. 1t is sit
uated on Galveston Island, at the open
ing of the bay of the same name into
the Gulf of Mexico, two hundred and
fourteen miles east southeast of Austin
by rail. The island is low strip OF
land some thirty miles long by three
broad. 1t is connected with the main
land by five bridges, four railway
bridges and one a highway bridge.
The bay extends northward from the
city to the mouth of the Trinity river,
a distance of thirty-five miles, and has
a breadth of from twelve to eighteen
cathedral, the Catholic University of
ST. Marys, and the Texas Medical Col
lege. 1t has many foundries, flour and
planning mills and machine shops. It's

ated Press.
Galveston Is situated on an island
extending east and west for twenty
seven miles, and lis seven miles in its
greatest width north and south. No city
could be in greater danger with such
horrible visitation as now comes to
Galveston. In no part of the city, with
its $4,000 population, is it more than six
feet above the sea level. The fiat con-
dition not only points 10 the desper-
ate situation of the people at such a
time as this, but their danger may be
considered emphasized when il is
known that exactly where the city is
built, the island Is only one and quar-
ter miles wide.
"On the bay north OF the city, is the
commercial section, with wharves
stretching along for nearly two miles,
lined with sheds and large storage
houses. 1.nen in that portion OF Cal
weston, there are three elevators, one OF
1900, 900 bushels capacity, one of 1.000,-
600, and the third OF $1,000. The island

the main land by railroad bridges. and

IN 1872 the entire east end Of the city
was swept away by the tidal wave that
followed a terrific storm that swept the
gulf coast for three days. Then the
eastern land on whic buildings stood
was literally torn away. The work of
replacing it has been going on, and for
the point that guards the entrance TO
the harbor has since been built anu on

the fact that Decatur is the birthplace of
the srcatest patriotic Organization In the
word
Post No ], OF Decatur, District of Ma
con, Department OF Illinois. was founded
on the night OF April 6, 1866. when Major
Benjamin +. Stephenson, who had dream
ed of a society that would re-unite the
soldiers that had fought side by side on
many battlefield, met twelve OF his old
comrades in a little back room that was
poorly furnished and badly lighted.
On this eventful evening there were
present Benjamin F. Stephenson, pro-
visional commander of the Department OF

comrades was issued the first charter as
an encampment of the Grand Army.
Notwithstanding the solemnity of the
occasion. the dozen old soldiers yielded to
the spirit OF fun that had characterized
their gatherings around the camp-fres
during their active service. They told
stories and fought again the battles that
had passed into history.
GOV. OGLESBY EDITED RITUAL.
The constitution and ritual presented to
the new organization ana adopted by IL
had been formulated with great care. DR..
Stephenson, who was resident of Spring
field, ILL.,, had made a draft that he sub
mitted to various friends and comrades.
among whom was Richard j. Oglesby,
then governor of Illinois.
Immediately associated with Major
Stephenson were Comrades Jules G.. Web
ber, John w. Snyder. Robert NJ. Woods,
John A. Iightfoot John S. Phelps, and
others then resident of Springfield. Doubt
less, from each of these friends Major
Stephenson received many suggestions
that were Incorporated In his manuscript.
