GALVESTON DESTROYED.
Great Wind Storm Followed by Rush
Of Waters-Loss Of Life and
Property Cannot Be
Estimated.

Never before in the history of the
state Of Texas has that common
wealth suffered.in as large degree
as at present from the effect of the
storm of wind and water that visited
Galveston Saturday night and Sunday.
1t is estimated that fully one-half of
the stat. of Texas is made to suffer
from the West Indian cyclone which
brought with it noun tain Of water
that submerged every thing and nearly
everybody before it.
The loss of life is reported to be
from 1000 to 5000 and of course no
correct figure can be given yet. The
residence portion of Galveston is said
to have been practically wiped out Of
existence. Railroads, shipping, all
classes of manufacturing, indeed
every industry in that commercial
bee hive is ruined. 1t will be several
days before communication can be re-
stored with the outside world.
Town of Brookshire, was almost
totally destroyed. Hempsted, Sabine
Pass, Seabrooke, Morgan's Point,
Houston, Alvin, Hitchcock, Alta Iona,
Pearl, Angleton. and a number of
other places suffer severely.

Ira: tion Engine in the River.

Easton, Md, March 4-Yester-
day traction engine, with its rig,
consistin g Of thresher, separator
and straw carrier, which had
started from Vineyards shops.
Easton, for Hickmantown, Del, in
charge of Engineer John McOuay
broke down the draw of Dover
bridge, and the whole outfit went to
' the bottom of the Choptank, in s.
feet of water. The engineer went
through it, but saved himself as he
, struck the water by catching on to
one of the laterals of the draw.
The accident has obtructed Chop
tank navigation. The side-wheel
steamers of the Baltimore, Chesa-
peake and Atlantic Company can
not get through the draw. The
narrower propellors of the Wheeler
Line are able to squeeze through.
Transit over the bridge between
Talbot and Caroline is also stopped.
1t is supposed the engine has gone
down out of sight in the soft oozy
mud at the bottom of the river and
will never be seen again. The
lighter pieces of the rig are in view
and floating. Agang of men are at
work, and it is thought that some
time tomorrow the passage will be
cleared.
A further dispatch from Cam
bridge, Dorchester county, on the
Choptank, Is miles from the scene
Of the accident. says:
Two men were on the engine and
when they found the draw falling
they jumped overheard to the river
below without injury. 1t was
thought neither the Baltimore,
Chesapeake and Atlantic nor the
Wheeler Line boat would be able to
get through the draw Sunday on its
return trip to Baltimore, but the
wreck has been removed.

THE DOWNFALL OF GREAT BRITAIN
Predicted bs the President of LcIan

Predicted h. the President of LEILA n Il
Stanford University.
Chicago, March 5.-President David
Starr Jordan, of Leland Stanford uni
versity, Of California, lectured at All
Souls church here yesterday, speaking
to large audience, on THE Blood of
Nation He said that the present
century would witness the downfall
of Great Britain. He declared that
ultimately the people of South Africa
would have their freedom.
The speaker in emphatic terms as
serted that the present inhabitants of
Great Britain were a mere shadow of
their forefathers in point of brains and
health. Mr.. Jordan thinks that a ma
tion that POUNDS its destiny on war
must reach a speedy decay. He said
great war saps the vitality of the
best blood of the nation.
Mr.. Jordan deprecated the fact that
so many of the best youths of ma
tion are killed during times of war.
He remarked that this accounted for
the existence of weak nation, both
mentally and physically. The speaker
declared that France, more than any
other great nation, had decorated. He
said war, more than any other thing,
had contributed to this sorrowful con-
dition. Among other things he said:
Il think that war, more than any
other agency, destroys the vitality of
nation. Take, for instance, the
present British-Boer war. The best
representatives Of both countries ars
now on the field of battle. War not
only makes widows, but it prevents
many marriages.

TO TRY
THE PIERCES,
The Case Will Be Presen=
ted TO the Grand Jury
Today:

Chester, March Sin the court
house at Media to-day an indiet
ment will be sent to the grand jury
charging James and Amos Pierce
with the murder ofGeorge b. Eyre.
In all likelihood the jury will dis
pose of the minor Jail cases before
taking up the Eyre case. In this
event, it may be day or so before
the witnesses against the PIerces
will be heard.
AS soon as court opens in the
morning the foreman OF the grand
jury will be selected and the Judge
will pronounce his instructions.
This will be the first appearance of
Captain Isaac Johnson as Judge of
the Quarter Sessions Court of Della
ware county. Upon the death of
Judge Clayton, Captain Johnson
was appointed to the bench.
1t will be the first term of Court,
too, for the District Attorney Josiah
Smith, who succeeds William !.
Schaffer. District Attorney Smith
says the statement thafMr. Schaff-
er will assist in pro -cuting the
Pierces is made without authority.
ut has been the cnstom OF the
court in Delaware county to send
to the grand jury minor Jail cases
before the homicides. This will
probably be done this time" said
Judge Johnson at Media yesterday.
SIT would be unjust to witnesses in
petty cases to hold them here while
the jury considers the Eyre case,
which may keep the jurors busy
some time, as there are many wit
nesses.
District Attorney Smith, when
seen seemed very confident that
true bills will be returned against
the Pierce brothers. He did not,
however, express this confidence in
words.
All the witnesses who testified
before the Justice at the prelimin-
AIRY examinations have been sum-
moned to appear before the grand
jury. There will be many new
witnesses to corroborate the test-
mony of these first witnesses as to
many minor details.
Particularly the testimony of |
Mary Cowen, of Wilmington, has
been greatly strengthened by cor
roboration on various points.
These attorneys believe the de-
Tense has been strengthened by the
failure to find the Eyre sklff in that
part of the river where Mary
Cowen says James Pierce told her
he had sunk it. CT anywhere, in
fact Chief Berry and his men
were searching for it near Raccoon
creek yesterday, but were not sue
