M.?Via Texas City and Hous ton, 0 p. m.?At a meeting of the relief committe, held this morning, reports were received from the various wards. The chairman called lor armed men to assist in getting labor to bury the dead and clear the wreckage, and arrangements were made to supply this demand. The situation in the city today is that there are plenty of vol unteers for this service, but an insufficiency of arms. There have been two or three small riots, but the officers have managed to quell them. The committee rejected the proposal of tryiug to pay for work, letting the laborers secure their own rations. It was decided to go ahead, impressing men into service, if necessary, issuing orders for rations only to those who worked or were unable to work. All of the wards reported the imperative need of disinfectants. A committee was appointed to sequester all of the disinfect ants in the city, including the limo which escaped wetting, and to obtain more. Houston was called upon for a barge load of lime. Capt. Sinclair Taliaferro, of Houston, who did such efficient work during the Brazos flood, arrived here this morning. He was asked to assist Chairman Mc Vittie in his work. Dan Henderson announced that Mr. Van Vleca, the general manager of the Southern Pacific, authorized i the committee to draw on that i company for $5,000. Mr. Van Vleck returned to Houston on the tug Juno to send a barge load of supplies. The Galveston, Houston and Henderson Railroad is operating relief trains over its line to Texas City Junction, and thence over the Texas City Terminal to, or near to, Texas City. A boat is carrying dispatches from Galveston to Texas City. Arrangements have been made to start a passonger service to morrow. The steamer Lawrence will take pay passengers to Texas City. Destitute persons who have relatives elsewhere, to whom they wish to go, will be furnished with credentials by the relief committee, and will bo taken to Texas Citv free of charge and carried by the Galveston, Houston and ilend r son to Houston free. Mr. Van Vleck is arranging transportation for them trom Houston to the points whither they are destined. This service will begin at 8 o'clock to morrow morning. Work on the water-works has not progressed so satisfactorially as bad been hoped tor. The men did not work last night. Ghief Engiueer Reynolds has not beon at the works since yesterday morning, rnd Alderman McMaster took charge of the work today. The machiney has been cleared of the debris and the pipes found to be badly damaged, and plumbers, steam fitters and boiler makers are at work on them. Mr. McMaster says he thinks it will be possible to turn water in the mains to morrow. All saloons were closed by the chief of police on Sunday.

TRDAY, SEPTEMBER 1 e recovered near the light house, i Mr. Mutti, a storekeeper, lost b his life after a display of un- i i common heroism. When the i storm struck the city he hitched if up a one-horse cart and started out to rescue his neighbors. b Cart load after cart load lie carb ried in safety to a fire company 1 n house. On three occasions the 1 a cart load of human beings, some t half dead, others crazed with - fright, was carried for blocks g by the raging currents, but ho 1 k landed all of them safely, even | y to his last load, when he met , b his death. As he attempted to y pass into the building on his ' last trip the fire house succumb- J y ed to the wind and collapsed. ' n Mutti was killed by being struck f by some of the wreckage. The official records of the ( . United States weather bureau, ' h which have been made up and 1 forwarded to Washington, give i- some valuable additional infor mauon aDout the storm. Uni fortunately the recording instru . ments were destroyed or cripr plied beyond operation about a 5.10 o'clock Saturday evening. i6 The wind gauge recorded a twob minute blow at the rate of 100 h miles an hour, and then was f demolifltoed by the hurricane, B^which continued to'increase iu violence. The weather bureau reports estimate the maximum e velocity of the wind at between 1 110 and 120 miles an hour. It y did not maintain this terrific 0 rate for any length of time, pery haps fer only half a minute, but it was sufficient to wreck f everything that met its full f force. i. The journal of the local office 1 of the weather bureau contains r a report of an apparent tidal ri wave of four feet, which swept e in from the gulf some time beu twoen the hours of 7 and 8 e o'clock p. m., and at the time o the wind vaered to the southe eusi. e Mayor Jones today estimated i. the loss of life in and around r uaiveston at ;>,uuu. t A Llff and Death Fl|ht.

South to west gales have resulted from this storm, and to day they extended along the entire coast from New Jersey northward, Boston reporting a maximum velocity of 52 miles an hour from the west, and New York 04 miles from the west. During Tuesday night a" maximum velocity of eighty miles an hour was reported at Buffalo.
