The water is the thirst quenching element, the wine the enlivening, the malt Extract the nourishing and the carbonic gas the refreshing, while the hop bitter strengthens the stomach and helps digestion. Rueter's Sterling Ale combines every requisite of such an ale; remember -it is brewed to compete in quality, and not. brewed to compete in price.

It represents the very best ale value for your nickel.

The summer cottage of the late William II. Fessenden was next burned, and then tho barn that is owned by Georgia Dean Spaulding Kent went down before- the flames. These houses-were on the shore of Long pond.

From here the flames took a course along the west side of Long pond. The Interlake, owned by Mrs Swift of this' town, escaped being burned, but the other cottages on that side were an easy prey for the flames. The cottage owned by Mrs Albert Cooper was soon on fire, with Its contents, and the icehouse, near by was also burned. The next cottage, owned by a Mr Mid-dleby, with large stable and boathouse, was soon consumed. Then came tha tontinned on the Second Pnjre.

Adjt Gen Scurry Says Most Conservative Estimate of Dead is 2000 Order Being Wrought by Military and Civil Officials.

AUSTIN, Tex, Sept 12 Gov Sayers today made the following statement on the flood situation: "Conditions at Galveston are fully as bad as reported. Communication, however, has been reestablished between the island and the mainland, and hereafter transportation of supplies will be less difficult. "The work of clearing the city is progressing fairly well, and Adit Gen Scurry, under direction of mayor, is patrolling the city for the purpose of preventing depredations. "The most conservative estimate as to the number of dead places it at 2000. "Contributions from citizens of this state and also from other states are coming rapidly and liberally, and it is confidently expected that within the next 10 days the work of restoration by the people of Galveston will have begun in good earnest and with energy and success.

"Of course the destruction of property has been very great not less than $10,000,000 but it is hoped and believed that even this great loss will be overcome through the energy and self-reliance of the people." During the day the contributions have fairly deluged the governor, upward of $100,000 having been received. Among the largest contributors are to be noted the Standard oil company with $10,000, St Louis commercial club for a like amount and the Huntington interests for $5000. This afternoon Gov Sers received the following official report from general manager Trice of the International Great Northern railway, who is conducting the operations of the relief corps at Galveston: "Houston, Tex, -Sept 12, 1900.

Although the wind in Vineyard sound and along cape Cod was blowing at the rate of 70 miles an hour the fleet of sailing vessels and steamers apparently had no difficulty In riding it out. Wind 50 Miles an Hour.

The gale struck the city during the early morning and increased in velocity during the forenoon, when It attained a speed of. 50 miles an hour. It was not a. steady blow, but fitful gusts, which ran the velocity In a second from 15 to 50 miles an hour. Then It was hot, the thermometer indicating 89 during the forenoon.

The humidity was a trifle over 72 percent. It was hot and sticky inside and blustery and dU9ty outside. During the afternoon the wind lessened to 36 miles, and during the evening it was reduced to 25. It gradually shifted to the northwest. The temperature was lowered materially during the evening, preparing for several days of cooler weather, which has been promised.

Schoolhouse Roof Falls. About 11 o'clock one section of the roof of the Mary Hemenway schoolhouse, at the corner of 'Adams and King sts Dorchester, was blown oft and the ECO pupils in the building were given a scare. The portion of the roof broke several windows in its descent and landed on the fence. Miss Howes, a teacher of the graduate class, was standing at the window fixing a curtain when the roof fell and her arm was cut. She wa3 attended by a physician.

As all of the pupils had been thoroughly frightened, principal Whittemore decided to dismiss the school. It was fortunate that no one was injured as the heavy mass of wood and steel went down while every scholar was the building. The schoolhouse is one of the modern structures. On the common many branches on the large trees were wrenched off, but no one was hit by the falling limbs. Three trees were blown over in Charlestown and East BoBton, one went down in Continued on the Third Pace.

PLYMOUTH, Mass. Sept 12-The people living in the south part of the town and in the outlying villages are in fear of being burned out of house and home. The most serious forest Are ever known here is now raging. The village of Manomet is under a cloud of smoke, the fire is still burning near there, and the people are getting ready to save what goods they can and flee for their lives. It is reported that several houses have already been burned In that section, but at this hour nothing definite can be learned.

The fire wardens and their men are unable to do anything on account of the high wind and the dryness of the wdoda, and the flames go wherever the wind chooses to blow them. Hundreds of men are out fighting the flames, but, as one of the old fire lighters puts it, they may go clear-to the ocan and burn everything before them. The fc-ests around Little Long, Gallows and Big Long ponds at noon today were things of beauty; tonight they are masses of burning embers, and the summer cottages around these sheets of water are piles of burning coals. The fire originated from the College pond fire of last week. This morning the high wind started it up anew, and in a short time it was burning so rapidly that nothing could stand before it.

The fire warden and fire-fighting apparatus were soon on the scene, but could do little but narrow the blaze In. Before the southwest gale the fire crossed the Long pond road, near Raymonds hollow, and headed for the handsome summer home and farm of Eben D. Jordan, which seemed to be doomed. It burned at a rapid pace through the small oaks, and then the wind veered to the west and changed the direction of the fire, heading it for Long pond. The cottages there were doomed.

Woman in Great Danger. At Gallows pond the large summer cottage of William Bassett was the first to take fire, and then the barn that was near by caught and was consumed. From here the flying sparks set the house of Charles E. Woodward on fire. This was the old Tom Pierce place, and It soon burned to the ground with its contents.

That's All New England felt the edge of the whirling southern hurricane yesterday and experienced just enough to shiver at the thought of a doubled velocity and the streets awash, as was the fate of Galveston. The windstorm was moving along the St Lawrence valley and Its edge ruffled Boston and vicinity a bit. Fortunately during the hours of the highest velocity the wind was blowing from the southwest to west, and it being an off-shore gale there was only little damage along the shore. All over New England the high wind was reported with a consequent damage to shade trees. A number of yachts at City Point, in East Boston and In the Charles river were blown ashore and damaged.

In all of the coast cities and towns considerable damage was done to pleasure boats. In Boston trees were destroyed all over the city and part of the roof ot the Mary Hemenway school building at Dorchester was lifted and tumbled to the ground. Cellars along Beacon st were flooded, the boathouse floats along the Charles were damaged and awnings THE WEATHER.
