HOUSTON , Tex. , Sept. 10. The
West Indian storm which reached the
gulf coast yesterday morning has
wrought awful havou In Texas. Re
ports are conflicting , but It Is known
that nn appullng disaster has befallen
the city of Galvcslon , where it 'l re
ported 1,000 or more lives , have been
blotted out and a tremendous property
damage incurred. Meager reports
from Sablno POSH and Port Arthur
also Indicate a heavy loss of life , but
thcso reports cannot be conflrme-
this hour.
The first news to reach this city
from the stricken city of Gnlveston
was received tonight. James C. Tlm-
mlns , who resides In Houston and
who is the general superintendent of
the National Compress company , ar
rived In the city at H o'clock tonight
from Galvcston. Ho was one ol the
first to reach hero with tidings of the
great disaster which has oomllen the
city , and the magnitude of that disas
ter remains to bo told because ol his
endeavors to reach home. After re
maining through the hurricane on Sat
urday ho departed froiri Galveston on
a schooner and came across the bay
to Morgan's Point , where ho caught
a train for Houston.
The hurricane , Mr. Tlmmlns said ,
was the worst over known. The esti
mates made by citizens of Galvcston
was that 4,000 houses , most of them
residences , have bccu destroyed and
that at least 1,033 people have been
drowned , killed or arc missing. Some
business houses were also destroyed ,
but most of them stood , though badly
damaged.
The city , Mr. Tlmmlns avers , Is a
complete wreck , so far as ho could sec
from the water front and from the
Tromont hotel. Water was blown over
the Island by the hurricane , the wind
blowing at tho. rate of eighty miles an
hour straight from the gulf and forc
ing the sea water before it In big
Waves. The gale was a steady one ,
the heart of It striking the city about
C o'clock yesterday afternoon and con
tinuing without Intermission until
midnight Saturday night , when it
abated somewhat , although it contin
ued to blow all night.
Of his own knowledge Mr. Tlmmlns
knew of only QUO house succumbing
with fatal results , though ho heard
of many residences being carried away
with Inmates. The house that ho saw
destroyed was Rlttei8 ; saloon and res
taurant , at 210'J Strand street , a prin
cipal business street of the city. This
three story building wan blown down
and nine men prominent citizens
were killed.
Among the dead arc : Charles Kel-
ncrs , a cotton buyer for an English
firm ; Stanley C. Spencer , general
manager of the Elder-Womster steam
ship line ; Richard Lord , manager for
McFttdden'a cotton company , whose
body is still In the ruins.
Secretary Bailey of the wharf com
pany and several waiters and custo
mers saved themselves by jumping
from the upper story Just before the
crash came.
It was reported that the orphan asy
lum and both the hospitals wcro de
stroyed and If this proves true the
loss of life will bo great , as these in
stitutions were generally crowded and
as they were substantial buildings the
chances arc that many had taken re
fuge In them.
The water extended across the Isl
and. Mr. Tlmmlns said it was three
feet deep in the rotunda of the Tro
mont hotel and was six feet deep In
Market street.
