Reports are conflicting, hul it is known that an appalling disaster has befallen the city ol Galveston, where, it is reported a thousand or more lives have been blotted out and a treniend ouh property damage incurred Meagre reports from Sabine Past and Port Arthur also indicate s heavy loss of life, but these re n/.vf no n r? I i ? ? J ? A 11 k-v. vvamiui uu uwij u ruieu at hup hour. The first news to reach this citj from ti?e Htricken city of Galves ton was received tonight. Jainer 0. Timmons, who resides in Hous teu, and v.ho is the general superintendent. of the National Compress company, arrived in the city at 8 o'clock tonight from Galveston. Hi was one of the (irst to reach here with tidings of the great disaster which has befallen that city and the magnitude of that disaster remains to be told because of his endeavors to reach home. After remaining through tho htirricano of Saturday, he departed from Galveston on a schooner and came ncross the bay to Morgan's l'oint, whore he caught a train for Houston. 1 tie hurric me, Mr. Timmons said, was the worst eyer known. The estimates made by citizens of Galveston was that 4,000 houses, most of them residences, have been destroyed and that at least 1,000 people have bet-n drowned, killed or are missing. SoiriK business houses wero also destroyed, hut most of them stood, though badlv damaged. The city, Mr. Timmons avers, is a completo wreck, so far as he could see from the water front and from the Tremont hotel. Water was blown over the island by tho hurricane, the wind blowing at the rate of 80 miles an hour, straight from the gulf, and forcing tho sea water before it in big waves. The gale was a steady one, the heart of it striking the city about 5 o'clock yesterday evening and continuing without intermission until midnight last night, when it abated somewhat, although it continued all night. Of his knowledgo, Mr. Tim mono know of only one house succumbing with fatal results, though he heard of many residences being carried away with inmates. '1 he house that he saw destroyed was Hitter's saloon and restaurant, at 2100 Strand stroet, a principal business street of the city. This three story building was blown down and nine men, prominent citizens, were killed. Among the dead are: Charles Kelner, Sr., a cotton buyer of an Knglish firm ; Stanley S. Spencer, general man agor of the Klder Dempster Kt*?flm?hin lil??- Iiir?hnr<l T nul manager of McFadden's Cotton co npany, whoso body is still in tlie ruins. Secretary Bailey of the Wharl company and several waiters and customers saved themselves by jumping from the upper story just before the crash came. It is reported that the orphan asylum and both hospitals were | destroyed, and if this proves trut loss of life will be great, as these institutions were generally crow |ded, and as they were substantia >TEI^ srmi-w: JASTERTQ. C., WEDNE! . buildings the chances are that many had taken refuge in them. ] Tho water extended act dss the island. Mr. Timmins said it was three feet deep in the rotunda of the Tremont hotel and was six i feet deep in Market street. Along the water front the dam " age was very great. The roofs 3 had been blown from all tho ele1 vators, and the sheds along the wharves wore either wrecked or r had lost their sides and were of no protection to the contents. Most of tho small sailing craft 1 were wrecked and were either piled up on the wharves or float? ing side up in the bay. There is 9 a small steamship ashore three 1 miles north of Pelican island, but i ? ' Mr. Timmons could not distin) guish her name. She was flying , a British flag. Another big vesj sel has been driven ashore at Vir1 ginia Point and still another is aground at l'exas City. At the south point of Houston island an i unknown ship lies in a helpless condition. The lightship that makes Galveston bar is hard and fast aground } at Bollivar point. I Mr. Timmins and the men with . him on the schooner secured two . sailors from the middle bay who t had been many hours in the water. : These men were foreigners and f he could gain no information from them. A wreck of a vessel which looked like a large steam tug was ' observed just before the party ^ landed. In the day the carcases . of nearly 200 horses and mules , were seen, but no human body was visible. The scenes during 1 the storm, Mr. Timmins said, could not be described. Women and children were crowded into the Trement hotel, where he was seeking shelter, and all night these unfortunates were bemoan ing their losses of kindred and , fortune. They were grouped about the stairways and the galleries and rooms of the hotels. What was occuring in the other parts of the city he could only i conjecture. ! The citv of (}alvestnr?- h? sova ? ^ "J is now entirely submerged and cut oft' from communication. The 1 boats are gone, the railroads cannot be operated, and the water is so high people cannot walk out by way of the bridge across the i bay even should that bridge be > standing. , Provisions will be badly needed 1 as a great majority of the people lost all they had. The waterworks power house was wrecked and a water famine i$ threatened, as the cisterns were all ruined by the overflow of salt water. This, | Mr. Tim ruins regards as the most ; serious prooiem 10 ne laced now. The city is in darkness, tlie elec trie plant having been ruined. There is no way of estimating the property damage at present. So far as ho could see or hear, Mr. Timmins says the east end portion of the city which is the lesident district, has been practically wiped out of existence. On the west end, which faces the (iulf on another portion of the island, much havoc was done. The beach has been swept clean, the bath houses are destroyed 1 and many of the residences are total wrecks. CulNiintt llriilNfft <|ul<-kly llralrd.

A Sad Case of Sell Murder Near Tirzah Sunday Night. Miss Eliza Wallace, daughter of the late John K. Wallace, who lives near Tirzah, committed sui cide Sunday night Sept. 2 shortly after dark by hanging herself. The desperate deed is accounted for in the fact that the woman was an habitual user of morphine and while in a state of despondency produced by an inability to get the drug, deliberately made up her mind te end her existence. She informed her mother of her intention, and the latter,thoroughly alarmed, started out to obtain the assistance of some relatives. When they returned a horrible sight met their gaze. They found the young woman hanging from a joist with a rope made of a bed sheet around her neck. Though she was cut down, it was too late. She was dead in a few minutes. Such is the sad consequence of the habitual use of this terrible drug, morphine!?Yorkville Yeoman, September 6. A Life and Drath Fight. Mr. W. A.

European Spinners Caught BlufTing, and are in Desperate airaus ior uoiton. New York, Sept. 5.?The day on the New York cotton exchange was characterized by terrific bull speculation, a wild j stampede of shorts and violent I fluctuations. Not since the great efFort made la t spring to corner the summer months, which it will bo remembered' proved a disastrous failure, has the market been so active or i have prices advanced with equal rapidity. The start was to 13; points above yesterday's closing and was entirely in response to 1 sharp bulge in the Liverpool! market. It gradually developed that European spinners were in , desperate straits for raw cotton an/1 (liaf (ilwn?tc nKpanil 1 .. a precarious condition, rendered the more serious hv inability to secure cotton through scarcity of freight room at southern ports. As English market advanced the local contingent hammered away at the under pinning of the shorts who were eventually compelled to abandon their position and retreat without the least semblance of reserve. The south, Wall street and Liverpool deluged the market with buying orders and on this support the prices advanced by great strides, with the near months leaning in the rise. The report that fully 500,000 pieces of print cloths had been sold in Fail River and tlie story to the effect that southern spot cotton holders were refusing to do any business except at pronounced advances stimulated buying for both accounts in the afternoon.
