TORNADO WIPES OUT A
TEXAS TOWN.
Ninety-Eight Killed, Over a Hum
dred Injured and City Swept
From End to End.

Houston, Tex, May 1e.--
The latest reports from Goliad
state that 90 persons were killed
and 103 injured by the tornado
which passed over that city
yesterday afternoon. The prop
erty loss in the city and sur
rounding country will probably
reach 100000. The storm
swept the city from end to end
and demolished $50 stores and
residences, many of which can
not be repaired.
There is only one telegraph
wire working in Goiad and
owing to the crush of official
business it is impossible to OBJ
tain list of the dead and in
jured.
The tornado was preceded by
a terrific downpour of hail last
ing only a few minutes. The
hail storm drove the people into
their houses where they were
caught like rats in trap and
the death dealing wind came
upon them in terrific force,
leveling everything in it's path.
The tornado swept an area Of
$50 yards wide for distance
of mile and a half. Houses
collapsed as if built of card.
board, covering the dead and
injured with debris, which
necessarily means the work of
rescue slow. People focked to
the town from all of the sur
rounding country.
Many of them had relatives
in the city. The work of res
cue has been carried on all day
and the funeral of several of the
victims took place this after
noon. The supply of coffins
has been replenished from other
towns and a large force of labor
ers is still at work digging
graves for many of the unfor,
tunate victims.
The citizens have perfected a
religious organization and
everything is conducted in an
orderly manner, the work of
caring for the injured and dead
now being on a systematic ba-
sis.
The storm wrought severe
havoc TO the surrounding coun-
try, but no lives are reported
lost. Gov. Sayers today issued
an appeal to the mayors of all
cities Of 5000 population and
over in the State of Texas, ask
ing them to send food to Goliad
and to raise funds for the suffer.

CHRISTMAS EVE.
Didn't Dream of Santa Claus.

Little 9-year-old Fred Howells. of
Honesdale street, was forced to spend
his Christmas eve in the Centre street
station house last night, instead of in
his bed at home. dreaming of Santa
Claus like nearly every other little
child in the city.
The little boys mother took him to
the central city last night to do some
Christmas shopping, but instead Of do
ing what she originally intended she
strayed into several saloons. The little
boy and herself were picked up by a
policeman and brought to the station
house.
The woman sprawled on the floor of
the cell into which she was thrust and
as she lay in Il heavy stupor her little,
big-eyed boy sat in Il chair outside the
iron barred door and finally fell asleep
wondering, no doubt, what more un-
happiness, instead of pleasure. was in
store for him on Christmas day.
