GRAPHIC DESCRIPTIONS OF THE STORM WERE GIVEN BY VISITORS Indirect news of the alleged "wiping out" of Lynchburg by tne storm of dy night was brought to Houston day evening by member of an exploring party that attempted to make the trip to Galveston Tuesday morning in an auto mobile. The automobile carried five persons, including Ed Walsh, who drove the ear; Ed Hussion, George M. Bailey, W. K. Hawthorne and 8.

N. Thompson. Leaving Houston over the Laporte road at 1:45 o'clock in the morning, the party picked up at San Jacinto battlegrounds Keeper Boyle, near the San Jacinto Park, and carried him to Laporte. Mr. Boyle announced that Lynchburg had been absolutely wiped off the map.

He reported the dyth by drowning of a Mr. Riggs and his son and that Ave young men were adrift on a government water boat. About 35 persons from Lynch-, burg had taken refuge, he said, at his place, while he had, seen a number of people In trees at Inaccessnble places. He went to Laporte to obtain assistance' for the purpose of rescuing them. The party was provided with ropes and tackle and axes for clearing the road of fallen trees and similar obstructions.

Wreckage and debris was noticed all along the Laporte road. Many demolished houses were observed along the road. At 'Laporte they saw St. Mary's seminary (. uid other large buildings sun scanning frfAA apparently uninjured.

Some resi-Xic- defiees at that Dlace. however, were blown oown. Thev found the bridge on the Seabrook cut off In good condition, dui unaer aooui CLIMBED STAFF ON WEATHER water was receding. Many of the residents were forced to flee with the hand- i lest wearing apparel at their command. In some Instances this being merely a filmy garment.

This train made all stops along tho route and picked up a large -number of passengers. Many of these were without means even to pay their fares and Mr. Lucore arranged for their transportation. 1 He said that everything looked good from a weather standpoint, with the situation cleared Wednesday or possibly sooner. ALL DANGER HAS PASSED SAY WEATHER OFHCIALS Wind Velocity at 7 0'Clock Tuesday Evening Had Decreased to 15 Miles.

Official announcement was made at the Houston weather bureau Tuesday night that the storm had definitely and finally passed Houston and that as far as this section of Texas was concerned, there Is absolutely no further danger. It waa stated by one of the weather-service officials that the weather Tues- -day night and Wednesday would be unsettled with rising barometer and that -the w(nd would continue to diminish in intensity. At 7 o'clock Tuesday night the wind velocity had decreased to 15 miles per hour. The barometer at that time had risen to nearly the normal position ot 29. ISO Inches, sea level reading.

Unofficially It waa stated that tho storm center wss probably at that hour about 300 miles inland, that it was moving at a rate of 20 miles per hour and that it was probably nearlng the vicinity -of Fort Worth and Dallas. This announcement was based entirely, however, upon local observations, as there had been no telegraphic connection from tho outside, and as no reports -of any kind had been received from other observation stations. During the afternoon the weather bur- eau found It necessary to correct for a large number of Inquirers an erroneous rumor that the storm would be repeated Tuesday night. The origin of these rumors remained a mystery. All persons making Inquiry at the weather office tnM mnhatlrAllv that thA Storm had pag8ed ajid that there was no danger whatever of Its returning.

The loss consists principally of window glass blown out and damage done to the roofs of the schools.

Slight damage was also done to the) new text books In the Central High i schoot building, whre practically every window glass was shattered. Professor Horn visited many of tho schools Tuesday afternoon and he reported that none of them escaped BUILDING WHILE STORM RAGED Three Men Who Reached I noon Told Stories Road. D. W. Glasscock of McAllen, J.

H. Phary of Omaha, and John J. Conway of Mission arrived In Houston on the Brownsville train due here at 7 o'clock In the morning, but arriving at 4 o'clock In the afternoon Tuesday. These gentlemen described conditions on the way aa follows: 'We began to notice the wind this side of Klngsville, but probably the most severe part was along at Bay City on this side. We began to notice the storm damage at Liverpool where the train was stopped by the wreckage of box cars.

The station at Liverpool waa blown down and part of the wreckage piled on the track. It seems these freight cars were running wild befoYe the wind and were wrecked by the deorls on tne tracK. 'From that point' the train proceeded very slowly, having to clear the track of wreckage. We found 20 or more freight cars at various points between Liverpool and Algoa that were wrecked, lying on the track. 'The entire country from Liverpool to the outskirts of Houston was covered heavily with water.

The shell road for long reaches was under water. The sta MAN, WIFE AND THEIR FIVE CHILDREN ESCAPED THE RUINS Family of M. Hug Emerged From Home Before It Crashed Sown on Bichmond Boad. Mr. and Mrs.

Hug and five children were driven from their home near the poor farm on Richmond road, about day light Monday morning. They had not been out of the house, a three-room struc ture, 10 minutes when It foil with a crash. In the driving rain, under the weight of the wind, they huddled together and for several hours were exposed to the elements. The nearest shelter was more than a half mile away, and they feared to attempt to" reach It. lest they be beaten down or swept away by the gale.

Several other buildings were on the lot, and these were alto felled by the wind. One of these was a grocery store. 'J'lie stock, or a majority of It. was saved, although the building was reduced to a pile of wreckage. All night the family remained up, watching the progress of the storm.

When the worst of the gale broke over the cottane, and It was seen that It would not withstand the force, Mr. Hug gathered his family about him and walked out Into the storm. Ten minutes later It had been lifted from Its foundation and collapsed. George Hug. the oldest of the boys, aged is, la a isrrier for The Post.

He came to the office to tell of the misfortune that had overtaken the family. Tne smallest of the tots Is 6 years of age. "V.e' G. Davis, Assistant Observer at the Local Bureau, Repaired Anemometer While Wind Blew at Houston Tuesday After- of Wreckage Along the tion at Algoa Is badly wrecked. Ws noticed severe damage at Alvln.

"I went through the 1900 storm and the conditions were practically similar to that storm from Liverpool to the outskirts of Houston. Several hundred large pine trees were uprooted and lying; along the track. i "We made Inquiry from persons at the trains both at Algoa and Alvln and I learned of no one being Injured or aeaa, but DroDertv damaKR was severe. "From Liverpool to Houston all the crops that had been sown were practically destroyed. At Algoa we Inquired of the citizens there if they had heard any thing drom Uaiveston, and nothing had been learnen.

"Leaving the valley yesterday the con ditlons were practically normal so far as the bandit scare In the Mexican snua tlnn concerned. The sensational news paper reports greatly exaggerated the conditions in respect to the bandits and danger from Mexicans so far as same applies to tne upper vaney. nowever. these reports have served to create I condition of uneasiness among the Amer leans and also among the Mexlcana to the extent of effecting labor conditions. We think the placing of the different trooDs at Brownsville and at several points In the valley has served to allay this uneasiness.

RAILROADS MADE EFFORTS TO RESTORE WIRE SERVICE Traffic Was Demoralized but Officials Tried to Have Wires Be-paired as Far as Possible. While railroad traffic was demoralized Tuesday, officials of all lines simply renewed their efforts to restore service to as near normal as possible, but It was early learned that was oat of the question, i Trains from San Antonio and from North Texas points reached Houston during Tuesday morning. No. 10 on the former and No. 6 on the Houston and Texas Central arriving shortly before noontime.

Early efforts were made by the Southern raclflc to repair the wires from Houston towards Galveston. A special train hearing a crew of Western Union linemen left Houston at 1:30 Tuesday afternoon and was Instructed to work as far south as possible. Service from Seabrook was afforded-early Tuesday morning, the last load of passengers from that territory leaving on a train wnicn departed rrom that point at 10 o'clock. On it was F. M.

Lucore, assistant general manager of the Sunset-Central lines, who had remained at his cottage on the water front over night.

Telegraph poles have given away and wires are In a hopeless tangle, making It Improbable that communication will be re stored Before two or ipree aays. The park at Dickinson, situated on the banks of the' bayou, which contained three pleasure buildings, lias been entirely destroyed. AU of lh- buildings have, been rendered Into kindling wood and a great portion of them have-floated off. CLEAR CREEK A RAGINQ TORRENT.

Clear Creek, just north of league City, la mora than a half mile wide with a raging current. The bridge Is still standing but the approach Is Impossible. In order to pass this. The Post car took to the railroad at Webster and ran Into League City. The railroad was again used to cross the bayou below Dickinson and' again to get around a bad place a short distance further south.

Mora than two dozen homes were observed along the route with its occupants gone and tha furniture distributed all over the yard. A hundred other buildings have been unroofed and otherwise damaged. The station at Webster was turned over by the storm and wrecked. Other buildings on the station grounds were picked up and carried some distance, one being thrown part way across the highway.

Boyle reported that the water west of the battlefield got so deep that trie people who live In there, some half dozen tamlllM, took refuge on the tops of their Houses and that they are still there, At the time Mr. Boyle waa makln an Nothing has yet been heard directly from Galveston. That is the disquieting feature of the situation. The Post's auto got as far as La Marque, and then had to return because of the water which covered tha highway. They made every effort to proceed along the railroad track, but this was not feasible.

With the highway hopelessly blocked and the railroad covered with a mass of debris as well as being entirely washed out In some places, all approaches to Galveston were closed at a point about a mile south of Texas City Juno Ion. Hers the water gradually deepened and In some places Is believed to be standing from seven to ten feet over the road and railway track. The damage from, the storm from La Marque south is much greater than at any point on the Galves ton highway north of that point. A Post reporter traveling in an Over land raceabout waa the first car to reach La Marque. This machine made the trip after taking to the railroad track on three occasions.

Many miles wers traveled with water up to the running boards and with a biting gale sweeping the occu pants. The car contained Prof. B. (Jogman ot me Agricultural ana tn.un-ical college, H. H.

Hunter of the Overland-Houston company and U. Mc Dowell of The Post. NO LOSS OF LIFE IN SMALLER TOWNS. There has been no loss of life In the smaller towns along the route, but the property damage Is hes.vy. Bodies of horses, cattle and hogs are strewn along the railroad and the highway.

A freight train on the Galveston, Houston, and Henderson railroad stalled Monday night about 10 o'clock four miles south of Lamarque. By chaining the cars to the track the crew was able to keep them and remained at their posts until the arrival of the relief train Tuesday afternoon. In making the trip south and upon mounting these box cars the causeway could be plainly seen, and although the distance prevented a definite view it appeared that no part of the great bridge waa missing. All elevators in Galveston could also be viewed from the tops of the cars. One of these, the name of which could not be ascertained, appeared to have been deprived of its top, but the there were remaining Intact.

FOUR AUTOMOBILES WRECKED IN WATER. Just after crdsalng the track at Texas City Junction four automobiles have been stalled and the force of the wind and rain has stripped them ot every movable thing. Large platforms and sides of buildings had collected here and the mass was piled up three feet In height. More than a hundred bales of cotton are strewn along the highway, in fenes corners and on the railroad right of way Lamarque. furniture, bedding and other household articles contribute to making a debris heap which will require TELEGRAPH LINES STILL OUT IN ALL DIRECTIONS Crews Are Working Hard to Be- etoie Communication Between Houston and Outside Points.

Every line of telegraph entering Hous ton was put out of commission by the storm of Monday night and It waa necessary tor the local telegraph offices to turn away hundreds of people Tuesday who sought to get messages out to rela tives and friends. Crews are working In ry direction to restore communication and It was expected that service would soon be had again to New Orleans and Dallas. The Galveston wire of the Western Union stopped at 6:40 p. m. Monday, and it was supposed that the line had been practically demolished.

W. A. Logan. chief operator, went down on the Galves ton. Henderson and Houston special.

Investigating and found to his surprise that the wire was almost intact as far as Texas City Junction. Only at one or two places was It down entirely, for the long est distance at Clear Creek, and at other places limbs of trees had fallen across and twisted the wires. Mr. Logan declared her expected to see the llno all down, but that the damage between here and tha Junotlon will not amount to over oo. The trouble lies beyond Texas City junction, where the wires are down most of the way to the causeway, caused by flying debris.

He declared he waa almost sure the cable under the bay had been cut, by the anchor of a barge near the causeway.

FOUR LINES OPERATED BY TH HOUSTON ELECTRIC Company Has Men Busy Clearing Tracks and Hopes to Hare Pull Service Today. Although the blocking of roadbeds bv falllnK trSes and wind-swept and dangerous loose ends of wires crippled the transportation facilities of tha Houston Electric company for a good many hours the company was operating cars by late afternoon. Full service was given on the Franklin, Congress, Pierce and LaBranch lines, but no cars wore operated on other lines due chiefly to the fact that trees and debris blocked the lines throughout the city.
