Houston, Tex., Sept. 11. Richard 9plllane, a well known Qalveston news paper man and press correspondent In that city, who readied Houston yester day after a terrible experience, Rives 'lv Following account of the disaster nt 'liit vest on: One of the most awful modern times has visited Qalveston. Thi city ll In ruins and the dead will number probably a thousand. I am last from the city, having been com missioned by the mayor ami citizens' committee to get In touch with the outside world and appeal for help. Houston wns the nearest point at whl h working telegraph Instrument! could tie found, the wires, as well as nearly all the buildings between here and the 'ulf of Mexico liein wrecked. When I left Qalveston shortly before noon on Sunday the people were organ ising tor the prompt burial of the d ad. Ilstrlbtltlon of food and till necessary vnr' after a period "f disaster. Tl b wreck of Oalvi -ton was brought about by ;i tempest as terrible thai no words can adequati ly di scribe its In tel sity, and by a flood which turned the i Ity into ii raging sea. The weather bureau records show that the wind at tained a velocity of 81 miles an hour irnen the measuring Instruments blew away, it Is impossible to tell what w,v! the maximum. Tli irm began at I o'clock Satur day mi rnlng. Previous to that n treat .hi had been rapine; in the gttlf, and the tide was very high. The wind at first came from the pouth. and was in I : : opposition to the force from the i While the storm in the gulf :' i' w titer tin II thl beach side of CIMO POWDEtf Vi . NEW vanK. ine city :ne next win piled the wafer from the bay on to the My part of the city. About noon It became evident that the city was going to be vfgfted with disaster, Hundreds of residences along the beach front were hurriedly aban doned, the families fleelns to dwellings In higher portions of the city. Every home was opened to the refugees, black or white. The winds were rls'iiR con stantly and it rained in torrents. The wind was so fierce that the rain cut like a knife. fly 3 o'clock the waters of the culf and bay met. and by dark the entire city was submerged. The flooding of I the electric light plant and 'he pas cas plants left the city in darkness. To rro upon the streets was to court death. The winfl was then at cyclonic velocity. Roofs, cisterns, portions of I buildings, telegraph polos and wails were falling, and the noise of the wind and the era"blnpr of the buildings were ' terrifvir e The wind and waters rose su-aniiy from fiaftt tm tll 1:4R o'clock Sunday morning. During all this time the people of Qalveston were like rats In traps. The highest portions of the city was four to five feet under water, while in the great majority of cases the streets 1 were submerged to a depth Of ten feet. To leave a house was to drown. To remain was to court death in the 1 wreckage, Such a night of agony has seldom been equaled. Without appar ent reason the waters suddenly beaan tragedies of to subside at 1:46 a. m. Within 10 minutes they had gone down two feet, itnd before daylight the streets were practically freed of the flood waters. In the meantime the wind had veered to the southeast. Very few if any buildings escaped Injury. There la hardly a habitable dry house in the city. When the peo ple who had escaped death went out at daylight to view the work of the tempest and the floods, they raw the most horrible sights Imaginable, In the three blocks from Avenue N to ! Avenue P, in Tremont Street, I saw eight bodies. Tour corpses were in one yard. The first hurried glance over the city showed that the largest structures, ' supposed to be the most substantially ' built, suffered the greatest, The Or phans' Home, Twenty-first and Avenue M, fell like a house of cards. How i many dead children and refugees ar I I In the ruins could not be ascertained. Of the sick in St. Mary's Infirmary, to- j ! gether With the attendants, only eiht i are understood to have been saved. ine uKi woman a nome, on itosen- i lng ana aead which the storm cast up at Texas City caskets and cofTlnB from : one of the cemeteries at Galveston were being fished out of the water there Sunday. The cotton mills, the bagging fac- j torv, the gas works, the electric light works and nearly all the Industrial es tabllshments of the city are wrecked or crippled. The flood left a slime about one Inch deep over the whole city, and unless fast progress Is made In burying corpses and carcasses of animals there is danger of pestilence. The familv of Stanley Q. Spencer, who met death In the Cotton Exchange saloon, Is reported to be dead. Thirteen were killed in one building on Eighth street and Broadway. Dont- 1 Inick Porretto Is the only one of the partv who lives to tell the tale. Among the dead are James Wren, his wife ana six children. An entire family living on Thirty sixth street was swept away. The fam ily consisted of Angeline Parker and grandchild. Tommy Lesker, Sullivan Parker and bis wife, Lily, and their ! three children. Mrs. J. B. Treadwell and Infant. Mrs. i C. T. Clark and infant, Mrs. A. Long- i nccker. Mrs. Heveridge and two ebll- ; dren, Mrs. George M. Schroeder and four children and the mother of Culled i States Deputy Marshal Wood were all lost in one building. Mr. Longnecker 1 escaped with serious injuries. "Francois." a well known waiter, re ports the loss of 22 persons who took refuge In his house, six of them being members of bis family. I Eight ocean steamers were torn from their moorings and stranded In the bay. It will take a week to tabulate the dead and the missing and to get any thing to an approximate Idea of the monetary loss. It Is safe to assume ' that one-half of the property of the city Is wiped out, and that one-half , of the residents have to face absolute poverty. i For ten miles Inland from the shore It Is a common sight to see small crait, such its steam launches, schooners and oyster sloops. The lifeboat of the life saving station was carried half a mile Inland, While a vessel that was anchor ed In Moses Bayou lies high and dry Jive miles up from La Marque.
