GULF GALE HITS GALVESTON
Streets Flooded With Water From Sc
xerest Storm ia Years.

Galveston, Tex, Sept. 1s.-This city
yesterday, from 10 a. m. to p. M,
weathered one of the severest storms,
excepting the cataclysm Of Sept. 8,
1900, in many years. The wind blowing
from the northeast reached velocity
of seventy miles an hour for about two
minutes and held to q sixty two miles
an hour gale for several minutes.
It was not a hurricane but q west
gulf disturbance. The tide was only
four feet, as compared with seven
teen-foot tide in the great storm Of
1900. The sea wall stood the test we'll
and there was not a drop of salt water
on the streets Of Galveston.
Nearly six and a half inches of rain
fell, and owing to a poor drainage sys-
tenn the streets were flooded with wa
ter to depth varying from six to
twenty inches. The actual damage was
trifling, but the scare prompted many
tin1id people to go to Houston, fifty
miles inland, only to encounter the
same storm. which reached there last
evening with higher velocity.
