In the Bolivar lighthouse, which stands
130 feet high on Bolivar Point, across tho
bay from Galveston, about liiJ persons
sought rcfugu from tho storm Saturday
evening. Many were unfortunates whoso
homes had been swept by the hurricane
ami others residents of Galvestcu who had
como to tho bay shore In their frantic en
deavors to reach Galveston and their fam
ilies. The refugees spent an awful night
in .the lighthouse .Saturday night. The
supply of fresh water was soon exhausted
and an elfort was made to secure water
by catching rainwater In buckets, sus
pended at the top of the lighthouse. The
experiment was n bucccss in u way, but It
demonstrated a remarkable Incident of the
force of the wind. Tho bucket was soon
filled with water, but It was salty and
could not be used. Several nltempts Anally
remitted In a fresh water supply sufficient
to (luench the thirst of the excited refu
gees. Tho salt water spray was shot
skyward over 130 feet and mingled with the
rainwater that fell In tho buckets. Krom
tho top of tho light tower several of the
most venturesome storm sufferers viewed
tho destructive work of tho wind on Gal
veston Island. Twelve dead bodies wuro
recovered near tho lighthouse.

Mr. Muttl, a storekeeper, lest his life
after a display of uncommon heroism.
When tho storm struck tho city he hitched
up a ane-horso cart and started out to
rescue his nelglibois. t'nrtlcad after cart
load he carried In safety to Klre Company
hoilso No. f.. On three occasions tho cart
load of human beings, some lulf dead,
others crazed with fright, was curried for
blocks by tho raging currents, but he
landrd all of them safely, even to his last
load, when ha Hint his death. As bo At

and collupsed! Somo of tho wreckage

Tho official records of tho t'nlled States
weather bureau hove been made up and
forwarded to Washington. The reports
give some valuable additional informa
tion about tho storm. I'nfortunately, tho
recording Instruments were destroyed or
crippled beyond operation about 6:10
o'clock Saturday evening The wind gauge
recorded a two-minute blow nt tho rato
of 1C0 miles an hour and was then de
molished by tho hurricane, which con
tinued to lucreasn In violence. Whllo the
exact velocity of tho wind was not re
corded after tho destruction of tho in
urnment, the velocity was estimated at
between 110 and ISO miles an hour. It did
not maintain this terrlllc rate for any
length of time, perhaps for half a minute,
lull it wiA siltllclent to wreck anything
that met the full force of tho wind.

Am fill I'estlloiu'c IVnrt'il,
Al! attempts nt burying tho dead have
been utterly abandoned and bodies aro now
being disposed of In tho swiftest manner
possible. Scores of them wero burled to
day and hundreds wero taken out to sea
unil thrown overboard. Tho safety of tho
living'' Is now the paramount question
nnd nothing that will tend to provent the
outbreak of an awful pestilence Is being
neglected. This morning It was found that
largo numbers of bodies which hail beeu
previously thrown In tho bay wero washed
back on tho shore and tho situation was
thUB rendered worse than beforo they wore
taken in tho barges and thrown into the
water.
Efforts were made today to pick up tho
dend bodies that havo lloatcd back with
tho tide, having onco been cast Into the
sea. This is awful work and fow men nro
found with sufficient nerves to last at It
moro than thirty minutes at u time. All
of tho bodies aro badly decomposed, swol
len to enormous proportions and of such
a dark color that It Is Impossible to toll
except by their hair whether tho corpses
aro white or negroes.
Itcuuliir Soldiers Turning I p,
The loss of life among the regular nrmy
stationed at tho barracks at tho beach
pioves to havo been largely overestimated.
The llrst report was that only eighteen had
been saved. Last night anil today they
tcrned up singly nnd In squads and at pres
ent there aro but twenty-seven missing,
whereas tho llrst estimate of casualties in
this direction nlono was nearly 200. It Is
piobablo that somo of the twenty-seven will
answer roll call later In tho week. One sol
dler reached this city this morning who had
been blown Into the Gulf of Mexico and had
floated nearly tlfty miles, going and coming,
on a door. Another who showed up today
declared he owed his life to n cow. Sho
swam with htm neniiy three miles. Tho
'ov then sank and the soldier swam the re
malnder of the way to the mainland.
IXIlillltcn iin to l.ii'ii of I. Iff,
It will now never be known how mnny
have lost their lives. Estimates run nil the
way from 1.000 to 10.000. Tho former llgure
is given by Lieutenant Perry, an aide on
General MeKibbln s, staff. He said large
numbers of pcoplo had been washed out to
sea nnd probably never would be heard
from again. How many there was of these
Is beyond the powers of those now In Gal
veston to estimate with any accuracy. The
number of dead bodies along tho shore, nc
cording to Lieutenant Perry, has boon over
estimated and will not reach over 1,000. His
estimate Is laughed at by numbers of men
who had been In Galveston earlier. They
claimed that at least 2,500 bodies wete bur
led or carried out on barges before Lieu
tenant Perry nriived. It will be Impos
sible to formulate a list of the dend from
now on.
Mayor Jones still contends the dead will
number 5,000, ami others whoso opportunity
for Judging is less than that of the mayor
place It at 10,000.
Some of the relief expeditions have had
committees large enough to consume ten
per cent of tho provisions which they
brought. Tho relief sent from Ilcnumont.
Tex., arrived thin morning and wns dls
trlbutcd us fast as possible. It consisted
of two carloads of leo nnd provisions and
came by way of Port Arthur.
Wounded OOll Mll'llllllll,
Tho great trouble now seems to bo that
these people who aro In greatest ' need,
through no fault of those In charge of tho
distribution, ure tho last to receive tho
aid. Many of them nro so badly wounded
and maimed that they are unable to apply
to tho relief committee and tho commit
tees are so overwhelmed by direct applica
tions that they havo been tumble to send
out messengers.
The wounded everywhere nre still need
ing tho attention of physicians, nnd de
spite every effort It Is fcured that a num
ber will dlo because of the sheer physical
Inability to lend them the aid necessary
to savo their lives. Every man In Galves
ton who Is nblo to walk and work Is en
gaged in relief work with all of their
energy. Hut desplto nil this they cannot
keep pneo with tho miserable conditions
surrounding them. Wnter can be obtained
by able-bodied men but with great dltll
culty. Dr. W. Shaw of Houston, who is
busily engaged In the relief work, said
tonight that thcro were 200 peoplo at St.
Mary's Infirmary without water. They had
been muklng coffee of salt water and using
that ns their beverage. Very llttlo steal
ing was reported today ami there were no
killings. The number of men shot yester
day for robbing tho dead proved a salutary
lesson nnd It is not expected there will be
ay moro occurrences of this sort.
Tho soldiers of tho regular nrmy and the
National guard aro guarding property and
It is Impossible for thieves to escape detection.

Contributions from citizens of this stale
and also from other slate nru coming. l'i
rapidly .mil liberally and It Is 'confidently
expected that witl.li. the ntxt ten day
the work of restoration by the people of
Galveston will have begun In gooil earnest
nnd with energy and slice es. Of course
the destruction of propprtv lias be-n vor
great, not les.i than ftn.i0..iiH, but it it
hoped and believed that even this gr-.lt
loss will be overcome through the energy
and self-reliance of the people.
ltcllcf I'miil Item-licN $), .
During the day the contributions have
fairly deluged the governor, upward of
$100,000 having been received Among the
largo contributors are to bo noted the
Standard Oil company, with $10,000; the
St. Louis Commercial club, for a llkn
amount, and the Huntington Interests for
$5,000.
This afternoon Governor Sayers received
tho following olllclal report from General
Manager Trlco of tho International & Great
Northern railroad, who Is conducting tho
operations of the relief corps at Galveston:
HOrSTON. Tex.. Sept 12. -To Governor
Sayers, Austin: Your message of yester

mude for nil freight lo be handled by
bargoH and tugs from (ivton to G ilvesto i
nnd pussengers by our line to Texas City
and bv boat from Texas City to Galveston.
This Is the best arrangement that can be
made nnd It prevents delay lo elthr the
freight or tho passenger service, for. if
we handled the freight with the paKsenge.-
to Texas City to transfer from tbo e.i.s
to the boats would cause ti n much delav t i
tho passenger service. Wo brought In one
train consisting of about Una Galveston
people to Houston todav and will get an
other triilnload In tonight, mostly women
and children, which will make nbnut W)
that wo will get out of (5nlvctrm today.

Governor Sayers today began receiving
reports from various points along tho gulf
const which would Indlcato that thoro bus
been great property damago done for sev

GnlveBton fatalities nnd suffering will be
largely augmented. Down tho const from
Galveston tho town of Dickinson was laid
waste and 11 vo peoplo killed. Tho towns
of Alvln, Alta Loma, Texas City and
Hrookshlre nro wrecked and hundreds nro
destitute. Richmond Is so badly demol
ished that It will requiro weeks to clear
tho town. Missouri City and Stafford, Just
oppchlte. were entirely demolished and
tho few remaining people at these places
havu no homes to cover their heads. Hay

Owiug to tho fiiut that tho telegraph

Saers cannot ascertain Mini exact number
of dead at tho points named, but It is ap
proximated at S00.
Reports to tho govornor show that tho
railroads, telegraph and telephono com

nnd that In addition to tho provisions
which havo been forwarded from here tho
federal government has ordered 60,000
rations, which nre now on their way from
San Antonio. Lieutenant Ferguson of Gen
eral McKibbcn's staff said that ho had re
ceived Intelligence that 30.000 additional
rations would be Immediately sent. Lieu
tenant Ferguson expects to tnko two car
loads of food to Galveston today. A tele
gram from New Orleans snjs that tho ox
changes thoro havo raised money to the
amount of $6,000 for the sufferers.
President Parker of tho New Orleans
Cotton exchange was advised that the
money could bo best expended In the load
ing of a transport with provisions and tho
prompt dispatch of It to tho Island city.
In view of the news that has como from
Galveston of the Intensely unsanitary con
dition of tho city ns a result of the rapid
decomposition of corpses not yet recovered
from the ruins, tho relief commltteo In
forwnrdlng largo quantities of disinfectants.
Tho transportation facilities are steadily
being Improved. All tho local fraternal
orders havo made appeals to their members
to subscribe to tho relief fund cither In

The negroes of Houston have appealed to
their iirethern .throughout the country to
do likewise. .
Houston has been steadily filling up with
peoplo from all parts of the country deeply
concerned about the Into of relatives. Many
of these havo been eager to go to the
distressed city, but as the accession of
any large number of people at this tlmo
would tnx the nblllty of Galveston to pro
vide food and shelter for them, the local
authorities have Issued permits to them to
proceed to the Island city only In cases
where good causo Is shown.
Dr. C. II. Wrrterbacker, in charge of the
marine hospital service In Now Orleans,
has arrived to look after these In distress
In Galveston nnd then to report generally
to Surgeon General Wyman the condition
existing with recommendations as how best
to meet them. Dr. Werterbacker believes
that Iwo camps may have lo be ebtablished

It Is well for parents to know that
Grnpo-Nuts food contains selected elements

Tho disaster at Galveston fulls with
fot eo upon the fraternal lusuranco compa
nies and tho trades unions of tho coun
try who aro represented with local organi
zations In that city.
The Woodmen of the World, whose head
quarters aro In Omahu, have a membership
of about S00 In Galveston nnd since Mon
day Sovereign Clerk Yates has boon In
telegraphic communication with that city.
On the day of the storm Sovereign Hanker
Morris Sheppard. whose home In In Tex
nrkana, Tex., was in tho Ill-fated town.
Tho llrst telegram received hy Mr. Yates
announced his safety. Then catno n mes
sage saying that 100 Woodmen had beeu
killed. ThlB was followed by another giv
ing the deaths as tlfty. This was accom
panied by a call for assistance. In response
to which the sovereign olllcers issued u
call to nil camps In tho country asking
them to aid the stricken brethren of Gal
veston. In half nn hour nfter tho appeal
was received tho clerks In the sovereign
office had contributed $10 to the fund, which
was dispatched this morning to local rep
resentatives at GMlveston.
It Is estimated that the order will send
$10,000 Into tho city within the uext week.
This sum docs not tako into consideration
tho payment of Insurnnco policies, which
may aggregate $100,000. If this Bum Is
reached It will probably bo necessary to
Issun a special call.
The Modern Woodmen of America havo
no camps in Galveston, but have several
members residing In tho city whoso mem
bership Is held In other towns.
Among the labor unions the typograph
ical and tho carpenters aro probably af
fected moro Mian others. Tho former has
about seventy-flvn members and the lat
ter about twlco as many. Death benefits
and appeals will take several thousand
dollars from the treasuries of the Inter
national organisations and appeals for aid
will come Inter.
