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

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.
