JOYFUL NEWS FROM LOVED ONES.
Mr.. N. w. Schenck Receives a Tele-
gram Stating That His Son-in-Law
and Daughter, Mr.. and Mrs. Z. N.
Baker Were saved at

People of Wilmington who have rel
atives and friends at Galveston have
been terribly distressed as to their
safety since the great West India hur-
ricane. Among those that were known
to be in Galveston were Mr.. E. n.
Baker, son-in-law Of our townsman
Mr.. N. w. Schenck, and Mrs. Bake
who was formerly Miss Jessie E.
Schenck of his city. 1t will be re-
membered that Mrs. Baker, who had
been here an a visit to her father, left
here for Galveston, on Monday, Sep
tember 3rd. Yesterday Mr.. Schenck
was overjoyed to receive a telegram
from Mr.. Baker, stating that he and
Mrs. Baker were saved. He added,
however, that he was badly hurt, in
his brief telegram he stated that it is
estimated that 5000 lives were lost in
the disaster. His telegram was dated
at Houston, Texas, at IL a. m. yester-
day. 1t is presumed that Mr.. and
Mrs. Baker teaches that place yester-
day morning or during the night from
Galveston.
Our townsman, Mr.. H. j. Gerken,
has a sister and brother-in-law, Mr..
and Mrs. w. j. Buhmann, residing at
Galveston. He telegraphed to inquire
about their safety, but up to last night
he had nc reply. 1t is hoped that he
will hear that they are safe.

Nh. William NESTLE. the kind heart
ed druggist, on yesterday left with the
Messenger 81 for the benefit of the
Galveston sufferers. No fund has been
started here for this purpose, but
knowing that it would be necessary to
help the survivors, he comes in before
an appeal is made.
The sufferings of the people of Gal
weston and a large portion Of Texas
through which tine great West Indian
hurricane passed, destroying thousands
Of lives and devastating millions of
dollars worth Of property, are appall-
ing. Thousands of people have been
left pennileSs, many of them having at
a moments notice been reduced from
a~ffluence to absolute want and beg
gar
The heart Of the world will not only
be touched with sympathy for the
Texas people in their calamity but in
their distress and woe and want they
should have bestowed upon them
without delay the l~iberality of well-to-
do people everywhere.
AS Mr.. NESTLE has been so kind as
to start the good work, n this is not
the first time he has been first in good
works. The Messenger will receive and
forward such donations as may be sent
to us from people in the city and else
where in the state.
We take it, that no appeal is neceS-
sary in the face of the overwhelming
disaster that has befallen our own peo-
pie.
Quick to respond to the cry of dis
tress, Cape Fear Lodge, No. 2, I. o.
o. F., at it's regular meeting held last
night, donated twenty-five dollars to
the suffering Odd Fellows Of Galveston,
Texas.
