It is a handsome publication of thirty-six liages, all devoted in setting forth tho claims of thc Theological Semi nary of the United Synod, located at Mount Pleasant, Charleston. The pur pose is to raise at least $30,000 as a twentieth century memorial seminary endowmont. This institution has strong claims upon all Lutherans. In reading of the life and work of the former presidents and professors, in both tho Seminary and Newberry Col loge, wc were impressed especially with the following extract from the diary of tho late Dr. J. P. Smeltzer, of precious memory : On November 28, IS0S, there is this pathetic entry, eloquent of the faithful ness] endurance and self-denial Of Dr, Smeltzor: "This day wo left Newberry in company of students for Walhalla, our future home.

FIVE THOUSAND LIVES ?M GALVESTON, TEXAS, STRUCK BY WEST INDIA STORM-THE PROPERTY DAMAGED Bodies Float in the Streets and Buildings Crumble and Fail-Terrible Situation. DALLAS, TEA AS, September IO.-Hous ton and Central Texas Railroad officials at noon received bulletins from their general offices in Houston, that tito loss of life from tho great storm will reach three thousand in Calveston. Tho Mis souri, Kansas and Toxas relief forces near Calveston and along tho coast tele graphed at noon that tho loss of lifo will not bo less than Ovo thousand, and may icach ten thousand. CALVESTON, TKXAS, Soptcmbor io. Tho most appalling calamity in thc his tory of modern times lias befallen Gal veston. Everywhere thoro is death and ruin and desolation. A great commer cial city is stricken with misfortune and her peoplo appeal to tho outsldo world for help. Estimates of tho loss of lifo in tho city vary from OOO to 1,000. It is thought 2.500 peoplo'.in tho State havo lost their lives. 1'arcnts mourn their children and children aie made orphans by tho terri ble hurricane which swept all of South Texas Saturday and Saturday night. The damage to business and resident e property is beyond computation. Tho city Is almost ruined. Tito wharf froid is entirely gone. Every ocean steamer is stranded. Tho lino steamer Alamo lies upon the top of thc Mallory wharf, and a big English eotton-laden steamer was driven ashore at Texas City. Other vessels are agrouud in difforont parts of tho bay, some hopelessly wrecked. Thc tug Louise, of the Houston Direct Navi gation Company, is under water at Koa fish. Two of the crow wore drowned, tho remainder escaping in tho lifeboat. No pon can depict Ol' languagoadequately describe tho awfulness of tho situation, lt is simply immense, unparalleled. A boat was chartered to run to Texas City, and on this the Houston Host correspon dent had to hurriedly depart. From what he saw during Saturday and heard ; from some of tho leading business mon, ; he can assure thc public that they need immediate relief. Tho object ill send ing to Texas City was to got into touch with tho outside world and lot it know , that a stricken city is in misfortune and ask the peoplo of the country to send food and clothing and water. The water works aro in ruins and tho cisterns all blown away, so that tho lack of water is one of tho most serious of tho present t roubles. Debris is everywhere. Electric light and telegraph p des are nearly all pros trated, and the streets aro littered with timbers, slate, glass and every conceiva ble character of debris. There is hardly a habitable house in thc entire city and lustily every business hoUSO is badly damaged. The school buildings aro un roofed, such edifices as the Hall High School and Rosenburg school buildings heine badly wrecked. The line churches are almost in ruins. Tho elevators and warehouses arc unfit for uso, tho dec trie light plant has collapsed and so has the cotton factory. LOOOS IN THE S To lt Ks. From Tremont to P Street, thenco to tho bondi not a vestige of a resilience is to be seen. lu the business section of the city thc water was from :'. to infect deep 111 stores and stocks Of all kinds, including food stuffs, are total losses. Men in newspa per life are used to hallowing scones, luit tho oxporlonco of news-gatherers on this fatal Saturday night beggars descrip tion. In making the rounds it was noth ing lo seo women and children emerging from comfortable and happy homes dazed and bleeding from wounds, the women Wilding neck deep with babies in their arms. To ad i. if possible, to tho ca lamity, thc city is cut oil entirely from the world. The telegraph lines arc down and th? cabio which connects Calveston with Mexico is eut. At Texas City the wharves aro des troyed and the waterfront fora mile is litteied with thc ruins and much of tho debris blown thoro from Galveston. At lix as City throe lives were lost. The Storni commenced raging between 0 and lo o'clock Saturday morning, and ! by noon the waters from thc gulf had I inundated the island as far inland asl Twelfth street. From there the waters gradually encroached further inland, ris ing about Hf toon inches an hour. At 0 p. m. there was thirty-six inches of water I in the lobbies of the Tremont hotel, thc highest point in thc city. After that it I gradually receded, but the wind was cyclonic in its force, lt roached a voloc 1 ty of eighty-four miles an hour and then i the instruments in the government ob servatory W ere wrecked. HO A 1 - I X THE STUEETS. In the streets the wires were down, telegraph and telephone' poles falling, slate and glass and timi tor living through the air. How people could livo through it all is a myslory, yet no casualties are directly credited to accidents in tho streets. At times people would sail rapidly by in boats and colliding with some obstruction would be painfully in jured. Dr. s. C. Y ung, secretary of tho cotton exchange, was driven from! his home. He mounted a hoard and was I whirled with terrille velocity toward the | bay. striking some obstruct ion he was severely cut and bruised about the head ! and face, besides receiving bodily in juries, Dr. West, one of the most prominent ; physicians of Galveston, was drowned mar the Rosen burg school building. As soon ns daylight caine and thc fury' of die wind had abated, the work of rescuing and scare bing for tho dead commenced. In one room tho Host re poi lei counted seven dead bodies. The Tremont hotel was couverte i into a lench /.vous tor the living. Tho women and childi cn slept in tho dining rooms and parlors and the men lay oil thc linois ami in the hallways. The Iii st house to collapse was a now three st orv brick, known as tho Dui Hz building. Next tho Routers saloon, a two story bru k, foll willi a crash, killing throe At noon the big wagon bridge went down with a crash and it is thougnt tho oilier bi idgos are totally or almost totally wrecked.

"My house, with wife and children, aro in tho gulf. I liavu not a thing on earth for which to livo." DKSTKU?TION or TUE UEAOU, Notablo among tho stifforors was Pat O'Kcofo. As tho old man carno trudging along ho was bemoaning tIto loss of his wifo and everything ho lind on earth. Whore his resort stood on tito beach, facing tito gulf, there is not a vestigo of building or piling to ho soon. Tho great bathing pavil ion known us tho Pagoda, tho big pleasure resort known as ibo Olympia, and Murdoch's bathhouses aro all swopt away into tho Rolf. Tlicro wove fow bodios on tho beach. They had boon swopt into tim water or driven into tho rubbish by tho waves. NO root? ron IIUNOHY. Tho rain bogan to pour down in tor routs and tho party wont back down Tremont strcot toward tho city, tho misery of tho poor pooplo. all mangled and hurt, pressing to tho city for medi cal at tout ?on, was greatly augmented by tho rain. Stopping at a small grocery storo to avoid tito rain tho party fourni it packed with injured. Tho provisions in tho storo had been ruined, and thero was nothing for tho numerous customers who carno hungry and tired. Tho place was a hospital, no longer a storo. Fur ther down tl.?- strcot a restaurant whloh had been submerged by waler was serv ing out soggy crackers and clioeso to tho hungry crowd. That was all that was loft. They WOl'0 soaked full of water, hut tim pooplo were hungry and made no complaint. On i\ turning to tho Tr? moilt, which is the news centre of tho city, tho reporter found tho death list swelling rapidly. Fifteen men constitu ting all that romain od of a company of regular soldiers stationed at thc hoach barracks, were marched down Market street. Tho loss of lifo among the soldiers in tho barracks, which were de stroyed, must have been fully 100. At 11.30 Sunday morning tao water had receded from tho higher portions of tho city, but thc stceets near tho bay front contained from L'A to :l feet of water. OAI.VB8TON NEWS WHEOKED. Tho Oalvostoil News oflicc, on Me chanic street, was Hooded. Thc back end of tho building caved in, and the engine and boiler were tilled with water, making it impossible for a paper to bc issued. At the depot the baggage-master and depot officials were engaged in rescu ing those injured about the building. Tho station building had been selected AS a place of refuge by a large number of people All windows in the building ?ind a portion of thc wall at the top was blown in and thc occupants expected (ivory minute to be their last. Hut escape was impossible, for about thc building tho water must have been fully 12 feet d??m. On the water front the destruction of property was almost as great as on thc beach, though thc loss of lifo was not nearly so large. QHEAT WHARVES UUIN ED.

Four-fifths of tho employers in the trade [ were represented, lt is anticipated that the decision will lead to tho closure of scores of mills for several weeks. Only Ihrec manufacturers opposed tho resolu tion and their objection was that it was not strong enough and that it should bind tho trade to stop the consumption nf cotton and not morely to stop pur fthnsihg it. The meeting was private, hut it was ascertained that during the discussions there was sharp criticism of die Liverpool speculators who, it was declared, made tue crisis worse hy gamb ling.
