LATER DETAILS OF THE DE STRUCTION 0 F SABINE PASS. AK IlIMINSIWATI fROM TH1 QUXF Of MU- ico bwikps ovsa xaa lakd. jBaAUMON-r, Tex., 0t. 15. The first reports of the' great disaster at Sabine Pass wero not exaggerated, in fact the death roll reaches 90 souls. The relief parties that; went down as near Sabine is possible on the Sabine & East Texas railroad, are yet there, succoring the destitute and the siok. The train oould not get within twelve miles of the town, but over a dozen tow boats have been sent there and are at work saving life and property. There is considerable backwater yet at Sabine, hemmed in and held there by the railroad embank ment. The most intense exoitement has prevailed here since the first news of the fearful catastrophe. People have neither eaten nor slept and crowds have surrounded the wharves and depot, waiting for the return of a train or boat from the devastated town. The steamer left Orange Wednesday night at 10 o'clork with a relief commission on board. When she would return no one knew, but a constant watch was ; k3pt up at Orange and here. At midnight she arrived here. People hurried to hear the news and re ceive the siok and, destitute. The re lief committee aboard the Lamar consis ted of twenty citizens from Beaumont and forty from Orange. They traveled up the Nuccb.es riverbetween 4 p. m. and midnight, which waa an extraordi nary trip, fraught with fearful danger. Twenty-five of the committee were left -at Sabine Pass, to make attempts to re cover some: of the bodies, manv of whioh are reported have been washed dozens of miles, over into Lousiana The members of the relief committee who : returned were eo worn out and overcome by the horrible devastation they witnessed that it was next to im possible to get a coherent story from thim and as each, of the refuges were surrounded by about 100 people it was tquaily impossible to get a detailed ac count from any one of them. The ex act extent of the Btorm-swept district is yet unknown. From reports brought by the committee , it u certain that the flooded district embraces an expanse of country many times larger than at first supposed. The gulf of Mexico seems to have moved over the land for miles,' in one high, unbroken wall of water. The committee reported 101 persons missing, ninety, of whom are kiiown to have been drowned. -ibirtj-ttvAS -ta nvtaau were w&xw famous local chart character, known as 'Alligator Bmith" was supposed lost, as the people on the relief train saw him ( driving before the gale on lake tiabine at the rate of twenty-five miles an hour. Great was the surprise, there fore", when ''Alligator" overhauled the steamer on its return, bringing with him in his small boat three persons whom he had rescued in a swamp. Ninety-one half-clad, shivering, wrecked yictims of the storm were brought up on the Lamar. Blankets and bedding gathered from house to. house for the comfoft of: the heart-broken sufferers, every one of whom has some dear f iei.d or relative among the dead nearly all the refugees are siok and prostrated from exhaustion and hunger. They are being tenderly oared for by the citizens of Beaumont. Dr. Calhoun, one of the relief : committee, says there " are many persons in the vioinity of Sabine Pass who are utterly destitute, being Without clothing to cover their naked ness. Dr. Calhoun requests all cor respondents to ask aid for the destitute. He says it makes no difference what is sent,' food, clothing, medicine or money; this people need them all. Dr. Cal houn is mayor of Beaumont and he Will distribute through committees whatever is sent. From all accounts, lan guage oould not exaggerate the state t affairs at Sabine Pus. Out of more than ldU houses in the tillage less than six r a .m : i l remain standing, and they are ruined. Wives and children were swept away rand drowned in the presence of their husbands, and fathers, who were pow erless to save them. Waves broke against the light house in solid walls fifty feet high, tearing out windows at the very top- "Corpses have been found at a distance of thirty miles from the scene of disaster.; Friends and relatives of the drowned residents are coming into Orange and Beaumont by every train. The damage at Sabine, including that to the government works, will aggre gate nearly $500,000. The latest list of those known to have been drowned is as follows: Mrs. W. A. Junke, Charles C. Junke, Mrs. B. F. McDonohue, Miss McDonohue, Mrs. Columbus Marten and child, Mrs. Pemery and three children, Mrs. P.

Y., Oot. 15.--a gale which visited Buffalo last night did great damage. The wind reaehed a ver locity of seventy miles tan, hour. On the like front, in the vicinity of what is known as the sea wall, forty small houses were totally destroyed by the wind and water and several persons perished; among them a sailor named Chalres Mitchell and an old man named John Edmunds. The bodies of two children were recovered this morn ing and also two' bodies which are' un known. Twenty or thirty families are rendered : destitute and an appeal for aid has been issued. Many buildings are damaged in the citj. The most serious damage was sustained by the splendid music hall, in course of con struction. A large section of the rear wall, which was nearly ready for the roof, was blown down with a terrifio crash, shaking houses in the vicinity like an earthquake. Tb CSUmco Strike. Chicago, Illinois, Oot. 15-. The situation at the stock yards was further complicated this morning by the refusal of twelve hundred beef butchers em- ployed by Armour to go to work. This long threatened strike of the beef butch ers was decided on at the meeting last night. Knight of Labor Barry, sent, here from Richmond, to try and t ffect a set tlement, says he is satisfied he can do no good here, as the packers will not treat with him as an association, and be will leave for Richmond immediately. to lay the case before the Knights eon vention. Packing town, the scene of the great strike was filled this morning with crowds of men, who stood idly by, dis cussing the situation. Chicago, Ootober 15. A morning paper prints an interview with delegate Barry, of the Knights of Libor, regard ing the ordering-out of Armour's beef nf en, in which Barry says: "We have formally declared war on this big pork speculator, and it will be a war mmf i ,fcn pt -i. before the convention adjourns, and you may depend upon it Armour's meats through out the United States will be an un known quantity in less than three months. We intend to fight an aggres sive battle and Armour with his millions n k i k J 7i : iTJi.S3 'ALl to the position of a retired, if not a bankrupt, pork packer. As far as the men are ooncerned we shall take care of them." The order for the beef and sheep killers strike this morning wasoocnaed to Armour's establishment. This is taken as an indication that the fight by the Knights is being directed solely against Armour.

TBI orriciRS ihstallb tbmpkkancs PLUMIS TAKSN. Richmond, Oot 15. -When the gen eral assembly of Knights of Labor went into session this morning tbo first busi ness to be completed was the election of the remaining general officers and two members of the general oo-opcration board. It was expected that thii would take but a short time and that the con sideration of the report on the revision of the constitution, presented by the committee on law, would be re sumed. This, in turn, was to be fol lowed by reports from other committees, nearly all of which are ready tq report. Among the first to be presented is the report of the committee on the state of the order, of which Ralph Beaumont is chairman. This report endorses the report of the committee on legislation, of which Beaumont is also chairman, and recommends that thelunnlementarv report of the same committee, in which a plan for a congress, composed of rep- rcsciitatives cf the Knights of Labor, to be established at Washington, be sent out to all local assemblies for their ap proval Beaumont is daily in receipt of letters both from Knights of Labor and others, commending bis idea. The oommutee on the state of the order also endorses the general master workman's address to the general assembly, and recommends the endorsement of the re port of Charles H Litohman, special agent appointed by the general master workman to represent the order before the congressional oommittee appointed to investigate the cause and effect of the Southwestern railroad strikes. In his report Htchman recites that the hearings were held at various phces in Texas snd Arkansas, and says: ' l oe testimony in nenair pi trie raiiroaa was mainly to snow what great damage had - been caused by the strike to the railroad property and commerce, that it had been begun on a frivolous pretext without any real cauce, ana tnat tne or der of the Knighs tof Labor was directly responsible for all the damage done and ant an tne acts oi violence oomminca. With unlimited resources at their oom- mand it was comparatively ecsy for the railroad officials, to carefully drill their witnesses in lines ; of statement which should fit each other, and this preliminary drilling was painfully appa rent in the testimony given. Like a lot of parrots, they all echoed statements that the only cause they uu vver ujmM efT1 - was the discharge of a man named Hal) at Marshall, Tfxas. The ludicrous sameness of this reply finally upset the digtity of the committee and after being reseated seme sixtv times never failed the testimony presented on behalf of the oWar we eieavored to show that the to Drill if a Druau nuug w weir ih. xu . i - i j : i - i.'iL.:. - T or n tract of 1885 had been persistently broken and that a long line of grievances had been suffered, complained of and considered by the districts involved, and that while the district assembly was in session at Marshall matters cal- minated in the discharge of brother C A. Hall upon a flimsy pretext. As an exposition of the case from: the stand point of the men who struck,' the testi monv before a oommittee at Parsons, Tex, by Elwari B. Hollia,oae of the striker?. is quoted, in oonoiwung nia report . . i - - . Litohman says: other witnesses at corroborative of that of brother Hol- lis and showed conclusively the exis-1 tenoe of valid reasons of complaint and a sytem oi peny ayTauny vm mo par of the railroad under-bpsses, which was beyond the power of human forbearance to patiently endure. All through the investigation one fact was plainly shown Which could not UU to gain ice aamira tion of all, and that was the unsweiving .... . !.!' iL . J lovaltv of the members in obedience to the orders of their superiors when the word to strike eame. In many instances the question was asked: "Would you strike again under similar circum stances?" "Most assuredly yes," was the unfaltering reply, I can not bnt think as a result oi mv investigation that the railroad com nanv had its spies iaour assemblies and was fully informed ot every move maae and action contemplated. . Knowing - - ' , . - 3 that the discontent existing would soon orovoke a oonfliot, the company quietly massed a large surplus oi neip in toei section and held them in readiness for emergency. The company was bet ter prepared than the: men. I have no doubt the olaim of brother Hollie was correct, that the Knights had good reason to believe thai the engineers would join them, for ; a prominent rail road offioial told me personally that the road fully expected tliat the engineers would join the Knights and had quietly arranged to, bring engineers from a distance to tike their places. Fortunatelv." he said, "we were able to make arrangements by which the en gineers remained loyal a;d the men from a distance were not needed." Perhaps the opportune visit of P. M. Arthur, Chief of the Urothernooo. ot itoeomo tire Engineers, to the southwest just at that time may have been referred to It is easv enough now to say that the strike was ill timed, ill advised and badly managed. It is easy enough now to make Martin Irons the scapegoat and sav he ordered the strike without an thoritv, but the truth' is that every looal assenbly voted to : give the distriot board power to demand an adjustment of the grievances oomnlained of and the reinstalmeot of brother Hall. , L. C. T. Sohlieber, of Massachusetts, and J. M. Broughton, of Raleigh, were elected member of the general co-opera tive board. Daniel R. (iibson, of Mam ilton, Ontario, was eloctod Canadian supply agent. This completed the full oorps of general rfnofraaud their instal lation immediately followed. Mr. Powderly, addressing the assembly, ex pressed full eopfilenoe in the men elect ed and pledged himself to the faithful performance cf the duties entrusted to him. He urged upon the assembly the importance of temperanoe and asked them to endeavor to impress the impor tance of the snt-joct on the various local assemblies. He galled attention to the fact that not one of the general offioers elected at ttis general ass nobly used in toxicating liquors. Ech of the gecer! officers formady pledged himself to total abstinence from intoxicating liquors dur ing his two years' term cf effise. The general master workman installed all the officers elected. None of them made speeches. The following resolution was presented by delegate Barrett, of Penn sylvania : Wl ereas, Reports have been circu lated and impressions have been created by the pre?s of the country regarding the position of the Knights of Labor upon the question of social equality, ana Whereas, We believe the welfare of the order in the South requires that general assemby take such action as wm oispei mose wrong impressions, thrreforo Keiired.
