The Galveston Horror.

The terrible experience TO
which the good people of Calves
ton were subjected can not he I'M
agined by one who was not anna
its terrorS. Yet to those who
know the island, its situation, Gle
walton, etc. the devastation Is no
surprise.
The city of Galveston is situated
on the extreme eastern end ct
Galveston Island. a sand bank,
about % miles long, from Il to )
miles wide and having an elevation
OF from three to four feet
70 the south and east of the Is
land. and of the city, lay the Mex
can Gulf. while to the North was
Galveston Bay, itself quite a large
body of water.
The storm Of last Saturday after
noon, evening and night which
did so much damage on the Texas
coast. is reported to have arisen in
in the West Indies some days be
fore, to have taken nOrthwestcrly
direction, gaining in force and
mower as il went ard was possibly
at it's height when it struck Gal
weston.
1t will perhaps be several weeks,
perhaps months, before the destruc-
ton to life and property will have
been ascertained. In the near
future, however, it is hardly pro
bable that Galveston will be the
thrieving city she once was, for,
Just as the storm of 1886 has given
Last Island u reputation from
which 1t may never recover as re-
sort, so will the memory of this
storm be handed down f,r genera
tons and it will be all the longer
remembered because of the greater
terror Of the event.
What can he done to help them,
for unquestionably thousands will
need helpy We can each give a
portion Of that with which God
has blessed us and Which He has
seen fit to allow us to keep. The
first move in this direction in this
city,as for as we know was the
special meetingof the Odd Fellows
lodge, which subscribed Il fund to
help their unfortunate Texas
Brothers Wednesday last. The
phythians also We'd with each
other in their generosity to THEN
stricken brethren, but aside from
this, we know of no public relief.
What must be done in this dir
ection should be quickly done as
help now is worth much more than
1t will be a month hence.
We are gratified to see that
money, provisions etc is being
subscribed elsewhere, and hope
thatthis relief will save life and
property. w.
