Wind and wave, however, left their marks la various quarters, although in all instances the damage was very light.

In all a doten skiffs and small boats were beaten to pieces, and here and there a small portion of the tressle work or ahart was carried away. What bad happened during tbe nilit and how Ions the storiu was likely to emit in ue was of very little importance, however, when compared a-lth discussion regarding the New Camelia. This vessel was supposed to arrive from across the lake shortly after o'clock, but at that bour she was nowhere in sight. Watchers bad almost decided tbat the boat had not started on its dangerous trip when some eagle eye espied a speck away out at sea. As the minutes passed, through tbe alowly-falllng rain, the steamer could be distinguished.

When she was yet miles away from the disk the wares rolled higher than ever Into shore and it seemed for a while that it would be lmixisslble for her to make a lauding in the high sea. As the vessel neared the a barf rain began to fall in torrents. The lowering clouds grew darker and the downfall for several minutes was as heavy as ever seen in this locality. This had a southing effect upon the rolling water. They ceased to boil and foam and roar as they broke upou the wharf and shore.

They grew quiet as the stciuier neared its moorings, she tied up iu almost a calm. Save for the slight rolling of the smothered waves and the heavy downfall of rain, tbe ar-I rival of the t'aniciia was no different yes terday uiortiiug from any other oceasiou. Aboard the Camelia were fifty puaen- gcrs. none of whom complained of the trip across the lake. Few were sick, al-' though there were several a omen and children on board.

From the statements made by thone interviewed a heavy dowu- fall of rsin aeeeinpauied the steamer over its entire route. The Vcl did not roll much ami the hih sea and heury wind bad little fleet on her. It did iu-I terlere a little with tin- time she uiadv. a result she was atiout tweutv min utes late. To those on the doek watching the steamer's approach seemed in credible that she should ride the sens without even the slightext roll when she wys some distance lrom the shore.

At that time the heavy seas and wiml around the harf made the Camera's upright positiou out at sea seeming Impossible. When she lied up Iu the driving, blinding rain the cause was apparent. KAILWAY BfclllS IHHKATKXKD. Storm Makes laroads Ipsa the and Tracks. The entire marsh lying south of the Louisville aul Nashville ltailroad from the thirteen-mile post to Lake 1'athcrine w.is flooded yesterday.

Ti.e wind was blowing a perfect gale from early moni-ii until late at bight. The lake was transformed into a veritable ocean, and giant waves, accompanied by monster Continued oa rage 10, Column 3. tion from the points along the lower float could be obtained, for the reasou tbat the telegraphic and telephonic wires had ieea blown down. On tbe way very little Information could be obtained at the different atopa la regard to the real conditions on tbe ether aide of tbe river. Keaideuts bad refrained from venturing across during tbe two days previous.

From tbe train, however. It could lie seen that many of the plantations were under water, and that the water was still cumin in over the back protection levees. The first definite Information was secured from A. I. Albert clerk of the court of I'iaquemines parish.

Ilia home in at the parish seat, 1'ointe-a-la-IIache. Mr. Albert! said that the water began to rise Frldar morning about II o'clock. Hy 8 o'clock tfcat evening it waa 2 12 feet throughout the settlement, and at midnight it bad risen to a depth of 4 1-2 feet. Tbe last measurement had been taken In the courthouse yard at that bour.

Some of tbe bouses a little distance from the main road bad wattr running over tbe flooring. Mr. AllM-rtI said tbat upon the roadbed of the old railroad had been built a protection levee from the back waters of the Gulf. In tbe earlier part of tbe evening the through this levee was very rreat and tbe eitisens undertook to stop it by piling aacks of earth along Ita side. Ry 11 o'clock the back water waa coming In so heavily that at some points It was running over the levee to a depth, of alxiut two feet.

Mr. Allterti said that the storm of Friday night at Fointe-a-la-Uache was greater than anv of tbe memorable ones of 18.S2, lhl, 113 or 1.SU7 bad been at that fMiint. He bad been told tbat about six miles below tbe settlement the water had reached a depth of about aix feet. In bis opinion the rice crop had Buffered from the salt water that bad thna poured in upon to tbe extent of altout 06 2 3 per cent. The heaviest loser at Polnte-a-la-Hache will be Seymour Itagaa, who had lost seventy-three stacks of rice, each containing not less than ten barrels.

A visit to the opposite side of the river brought out the fact that Mr. Albeni'a statement of the eonditiona there bad not been overdrawn. The waters had begun to recede, however, and as the wind was veering more favorably. It was hoped that it would not be long before It would lie forced back Into tbe Oulf. Some of the planters were found who are not entirely disheartened.

They claimed tbat it liil not necessarily follow that all of tbe rice that bad been flooded by the sea water would prove a loss. About fifty miles below New Orleans, and nearly opposite the Home plantation, are the store, residence snd rice plantation of Judge J. I'ineher. This is located upon what la known as Grand Prairie. Just below his place is that of H.

A. toilette. They suffered from the back water. Mr. Col-lette remembered an Instance when during a storm his rice bad been supposedly damaged by the sea water but the rice bad proven the best that was milled.

Along tbe tJrand Isle road are many extensive sugar plantations. The effect of the ln-avy wind upon the cane, however, instead of proving damaging to It will be beneficial, aa It will give it a new growth. At the Kuras settlement the reporter for The TImea-I democrat eliattcd wita t'apt. Salvador George of the steamer the mail boat tbat plies between Horas and l'ort Fads. Because of the rough river George had not attempted to make his dally trip Friday.

He bad stopped yesterday at all points on both sides of the river from l'ort Eads np. and bad conversed at all of them with persons who were In position to know the extent of damage wrought by the storm. He said that all the way down tbe water covered every place to a depth varying from two to four feet, and that everyone appreciated that the damage to the rice crop had been very heavy. He was happy to state that he had not learned of any loss of life. A number of Ingrers bad lecn driven into the marshes.

At Fort St. 1'hllip yesterday morning be had seen and coiirrrsl with Ftigiueer (juinn. one of tbe men who was supposed to have I teen drowned Thursday night. Capt. George said he was sure the severest part of the storm bad passed.

WESTWARD BOlXn. Storsa Whisks Away from Sew Or-leaaa. "I tblnk the storm has about run Its course in this vicinity," said Capt. Blythc, who has charge of the local weather bureau to a reporter for The Timea-lemocrat yesterday afternoon. Tfce storm continued its northwesterly cvurse Friday and Friday night, and was yesterday apparently central on the Texaa coast, a little east of Jalvetn.

High winds or gales and heavy ralrs in the northerly quadrants accompanied the westerly movement." By tbe time that tbe storm strikes the Texas coast it is not improbable that it will change its couise. When It leaves tbe tiiilf it usually veers round to tbe northeast. If it dies follow its usual course tbe storm will cut through Texas ami pmlMtbly irove up through the delta. It is not known how strong tbe wind was Mi, wing in the iulf off lVrt Ead yes terday. The wires between the Pacs and New Oritaus failed early Frid.iv morning, and no reports have been n-ceived from that station since.

Dallas, Sept. 9, via New Tork, 1:15 a. m. The first news out of Galveston slrce ip. tu.

has juat reached Pallas Tia Mexican cable to Vera Crni and City of Mexico. It was the last report that left Galveston, and was dated p. m. It stated that the storm waa destroying everything In its path on tbe Gulf front, and that the central portion of tbe city was then menaced. A dozen or more persons were reported drowned, and all the property on the Gulf front was txtlng demolished.

The government barracks and the earthwork defenses of the Newport new fort, San Jacinto, had been destroyed; the Huntington wharf and other railroad property was in a state of wreckage, and general property badly Injured. The people were panlc-sticken, and United States troops were trying to preserve order In the portion of the city around the government reservation. At midnight the offices of Weils Fargo Express Company are reported on fire at Houston, and the storm there still raging. It la feared that the situation at Galveston has grown worse since 8 p. m.

Houston, ik There Is an unconfirmed report that the hurricane raging along the Gulf coast has played havoc with the town of Itockport, on tbe lower coast, and that the great clubhouse built by E. II. Ii. Green near there baa been blown away, with some losa of life, aa there were several guests ia the house.

Their aamea are not know a here. Tha same report says tbat a cyclone raged all da through Live Oak eounty, but it could not have dona much damage, as that county is not thickly settled. The storm on tbe Texaa roast has been a fierce one. and theru are all sorts of rumor as to the damage done. As telegraph and telephone wires are down In every direction there is no way of confirming these rumors or uf getting any accurate news of what has really happened.

It Is known, however that great damage has been done to the open cotton by the tierce beating rain and tne high wind, and that rice is also badi damaged, as it wa ready to harvest. The wind has blown a hurricane all day and haa been accompanied by a driving rain in Houston. Much damage has been done. Galveston is shut off from tbe rest of earth, neither telettraph company nor tbe telephone company has a wire left standing. Not a train baa eunie la or gone out to-day, and none alii get through to-night.

A partial report came through by wire this afternoon. It ia said that the low streets on both sides of the city were Inundated and tbat many persons had been driven from their homes along tbe Wach by the encroaching waters. "The rain was standing in the street to the depth of three feet and could not run off. The storm has caused the highest water for ten years. Thla morning the surf was breaking over the beach from East Kroadway around to the foot of Twenty-fourth street, and the water crept In several blocks snd in low places had crept up the streets a doaen blocks.

The water is quite high oa the Bay side, but a strong north wind prevents anv damage In that direction. If the wind shifts to the son heist there will be considerable inundation, but serious damage Is not lUely because while the waves are high, they have little force. The shelving of the track breaks the force of the waves' action before It reaches the too. At noon the wind veered to tbe east aud tbe water on both tbe ami Gulf was rising slightly and growing more boisterous. There Is a report that the steamer Charlotte M.

Alien has gotie ashore, but It eatiuot tie confirmed. Damage to the Southern racitlc wharves. J'ist building, has been great and there Is also some damage to small crafts along the water front.

Special to The Times-Democrat. 8a Antonio, Sept. h. Possibly the last dispatch out of the flooded city of Galveston was received in Kan Antonio tonight by Jerry Glrard, manager of the Southern Tort F.xchange, announcing the death of bis brother by drowning. The message left Galveston at p.

m. by Mexican cable, and came to San Antonio via Vera Cruz, City of Mexico and El Paso. Olrard's brother wss carried to sea and drowned while1 endeavoring to rescue a family in a shanty that was being dashed to pieces by the waves. The hurricaue was doin? more damage than the flood, and the people were growing frenzied. SIXTY MILES AN HOI R.

The wind is blowing sixty miles an hour in Houston at midnight, aud prcat damage is being done to business bouses aud residences throughout the city. The Associated Press wire is the only one that Is working, all other telegraph and telephone business being shut off.

The electric light plant has been closed down, as the wires became crossed with telephone wires and several persons were shocked, though no one was seriously hurt. Several great brick and iren smokestacks have been blown over, and tin roofs are as numerous on the ground as on houses. The streets are utterly deserted, so there have been no casualties. The storm has spread to the Interior, and there i great auxiety in this city. People are offering extraordinary sums to the telegraph companies to get messases tbroush to Galveston and other points, but nothing can l-c done for them.

I'p to midnight nothing has been heard from Gulvcston. COMPLETELY CIT OFF. All raaaaaaBteatiaa Between Galveston anal the Mainland Destroyed and the tit? la Dire PeriL Dallas. Sept. 8.

All Texas is la the keeuest state and doubt and uncertainty to night concerning the fate of Galveston Island aud city. In everybody's mind Is the dire suspicion that an awful calamity rests behind the lack of Information from the Gulf roast. It is rumored her- that immense destruction has befallen Galveston and other places. It is stated tbat the bridges leading from the mainland to the Island have been wept away by the terrible force of the wind and the rollin? up of the bay. The bridges are in number.

thr--e ft- railroads use aud one the Galveston county public wairon and t-edestriau bridge. It seems hardly credible thai all thri-e could Iw- swept away without the citv suffering tremendously In the loss of buildings. Ceuer.il projerty aud Not a wire is woraing into Galveston, either telegraph or telephone, and as ail bridges earned wires the fears that all the bridges are gone is strengthened.

Dallas, Sept. 8. The Gulf hurricane is traveling inland from Galveston. It reached Houston in force a. tonight.

The following bulletin as received here at that hour: "Worst storm Houston has ever known Is raging now. Itoofs are being torn oft buildings, and much damage done to property. The streets are niled with flying debris, and rain is falling in torrents. The velocity of the wind is something alarming. Tbe storm is traveling lniaud with terrific vluleuce.

The indications are that immense damage will be inflicted uion the country districts. No word yet from Galveston, and no relief to that city possible from here to-night." FLOODED STREETS IN GALVESTON Water fraaa the Galf Steadily lata- la That City. Speetal to The Time lemoerat. Galveston, Sept. 8.

The tropical storm which developed in the West Indies reached here Friday night. A gale blew and the sea became tempestuous. The force of the stofru backed the waters of the Gulf up on the shore and flooded the low streets near the beach. The trestle of the City ltailroad on tbe beach frout was wrecked by waves. Little other damage was done.

The storm continued here with unabated fury this afternoon. It is feared the waters of the Gulf wiU rise and flood the streets of the city. The storm is increasing in violence. Some damage along the leaeh. but nothing serious.

If the wind shifts to the southeast, as predicted by tbe Weather Hiircau, there will probably be damage here to-night. Ill RLED I PON THE REEFS. The Saath American Was Totally Wrecked Off tha Florida Coast Miami, Sept. 8. The steel bark South American of Liverpool, Capt.

Loala Drewea Thrawa Vitriol aa a Woman. Louis Drewes, a worthless white man, blackened his face and hands and ap-prt ached a negro woman who waa seated on her doorstep at Bienville and Robertson street about o'clock last night and threw a glass full of vitriol over her. The victim. Ivy Abroughn. in spite of her terrible Injuries, ran after the man and cajght him at Claiborne street.

Her screams attracted three citizens, who placed tfce wretch arrest and subsequently handed him over to the police. The Abroughn woman was taken to 'be Charity Hospital In the ambulance, where at a late hour last night she was in a very serious condition. Drewes at the police station confessed to his dastardly deed. Last night about 9 o'clock Drewea pat In an appearance in the vicinity. He sauntered op and down in front of the bouse once or twice and then disappeared around tbe wall of the graveyard.

An hour later a slouching figure crossed Robertson street near liienvilie and went toward the txn steps that front tbe house. Here the Abroughn woman was seated, playing with a chili. The man. who appeared to tie a negro, was carrying something behind his hack in a ulass. As he got opjHisite th steps he threw the contents of the gl-js at the neress.

Khe instinctively recognized the m-in and threw up her "left arm to protect herself. The contents of the glass, which proved to be vitriol, struck her full on the chest and face. The clothes were burned from her almost immediately. The man turned toward Claiborne stroct and run rnod.y.
