of Sc to ST ton for the steel rail manufacturers,

THE GALVESTON DISASTER.

one OF the horrors of the year Is the
frIghtful disaster to the city Of Gal.
weston. Wind-swept n wave-tossed,
the principal city OF Texas is In ruins
and thousands OF It's inhabitants killed
b. the falling walls and drowned In the
raging waters of the gulf.
Galveston. a city OF 65 1000 people, Is
located pm a fiat sandy island, twelve
miles long and three miles wide at Its
widest part. The city. kwever. is pm
one OF the points OF the island, which
10 only one mile wide In the center OF
the city. 1t Is separated from the main.
land by an estuary or winding bay four
miles wide and twelve feet deep. The
island OF Galveston Is, or rather was,
connected with the mainland by four
bridges which were from four TO six
miles long.
The storm of Saturday was the worst
that ever struck the oddly located city
OF Galveston, but was not the FIRST by
any means. In 1855 a storm rolled great
waves entirely through the city. For
eleven days It was cut off from com
munication with the mainland. Streets,
foundations and sidewalks throughout
the city are never secure except when
built upon deeply driven wooden piles,
or on rock foundations twenty feet
deep. The sand is continuity shifting
and buildings any where near the water
frcnts are like western freight rates
subject 10 change without notice"
During n OF these occasional hur-
ricanes giant waves rush In from the
gulf. Mountains OF water weighing
thousands of tons and as high as a ne-
story house roll In with fearful force
No ordinary structure can Withstand
theii weight and momentum. Why II
Is that a city should haye been built
up In such a place II - difficult at this
distance to understand. In other times
than during these infrequent storms II
is a city OF modern facilities, great
commerce and more metropolitan en-
teiprise thar is to be found in the ay-
eragc southern city.
