The friends of former State Senator S.
r watts of this city learned with sur
prise that he had been appointd supreme
secretary of the Knights and Ladies of
Honor to succeed George A. Tate, who
takes Mr.. Watts office of supreme pro-
tector. 1t Is thought that Mr.. Watts
was better fitted for the office of secre-
arv than he was for the office of supreme
protector, as he is known to possess quail
ifications that would well fit him for the
important office of secretary of such a
large organization.
Late this afternoon Frank Miles,
young employee at the Northeastern shops,
was dangerously burned about the face

ficted serious burns 1t Is thought the
young mans eyes may be saved.

SEA WALL SAVES GALVESTON.
Hurricane Attacks City, but Barrier
Keeps Out Sea.


Attacked by a hurricane almost as
severe as that which killed thousands
Of persons and practically wrecked
every building In the city, Galveston
on Wednesday weathered the storm
with a loss OF life thought to have
been only sixteen, and without greater
property loss than would have attend
ed the storm had 1t struck any other
city Of equal size.
Not a life was lost In Galveston
proper, 80 far as Is known. but tho
hurricane demolished new tarpon
fishing pier on the north jetty. across
the bay. six miles from the city. It
was here that the fatalities occurred.
and It Ia thought that there were only
thirteen guests on the pier. These
persisted. with Capt. Bettison. the man.
ager, and his wife and daughter. FIJI
ty other fishermen had narrow es-
cape from the fate that overlook the
guests at the new pier.
Galveston Is assured now OF Its
practical immunity from another dis
aster like that Of 1900. A general feel
ing of confidence has resulted from the
splendid action of the sea wall, which
resisted the onslaught OF the sea. back
ed by the hurricane which beat In vain
on the concrete wall seventeen feet
high surrounding the city on the gulf
, side Of the island.
