Word From Texas City ''''.. "
Practically the only COMMUNICATIVE

at Texas City. g.. ,.@,' -
Texas City established communica-
ton with this city last night and, sent
word that the storm is subsiding. "
At half.past five yesterday afternoon
the Buford got into touch with Fort

Transport Mcclellan Stranded O.,
Many ships have been damaged and
others destroyed. The army transport
Mcclellan was torn from her moorngs,
lifted on the crest Of the flood and
borne half a mile inland, where she
now lies high and dry, careened over
on one side a stranded whale.
The sea has now subsidized sufficiently
so that refugees are lble to reach the
Buford, where they are being given
dry clothes and hot food. The only
estimate of pecuniary loss ventured
by the commander of the Buford is
contained in the one word "great. "
Galveston is now an island. The
massive causeway connecting it with
the mainland was pierced Monday night
by the waves, which tore breach in

George Young of South Woodstock and
John Jarvis of Putnam, which was to
have been tried before a justice of the
peace Saturday morning, was settled
out of court, the defendant paying the
plaintiff $50. The action grew out of
a horse trade with Young last fall, the
plaintiff alleging that he was deceived
as to the qualities of the animal which
he received in the trade. Jarvis was
merely a bystander in the transaction
who was brought into the case because
of alleged statements he made con-
corning the animal.

Early Morning Fire Destroys Freight
House and Freight-Two Railroad
Hydrants Useless When Needed.

An alarm of fire was sent in at 4
o'clock Saturday morning from the
railroad station for a fire in the freight
house. The fire company responded,
but before water could be used the
building was too far gone to save. The
fremen played on the water tank and
engine house which were within 10 feet
of the burning building and saved
them. The building was a one-story
wooden structure about 80 feet north
of the station. There was a quantity
of freight in the building, which was
all burned. There are two hydrants
on the railroad property, one of which
was so near the burning building that
it could not be used and the other was
surrounded by ties so that it was not
used.
