' Hopbtok, Texas, October 16 rThe
Poet'a Bttff oorreepondeut at Beaamont
lst night telegraphed some interesting
details of the great deluge at Sabipe
Pass. He sajs that at places where the
water was never over eight inches deep
linoe the town was settled, two years ago,
the flood was mine feet deep. The new
house of Bradley Garnet was; j swept
away, with his family of fire persons.
After floating two and a half miles the
house landed on a ridge back of the
town, all intaet and nobody hurt.: The
boats that left Beaumont to suoeor the
distressed took large quantities of drink
ing water, there being nothing but salt
wafer for ten iriles around Sabine Pass.
Mrs John Stewart and her daughter
were separated at their home ' when
the flood struck the town. The daughter
sealed a feather-bed and the mother
window frame, and thus supported
themselves. ' After being out all
night they landed at Aurora, on the
lake shore, -within half a mile of each
other, each ; supposing the other had
been lost. They traveled fifteen miles
before they were found. :
: Postmaster Ward, of Beaumont, has
telegraphed Postmaster . General Vilas.
asking permission to distribute the 8a
bina Pass mail from Piedmont, as the
postmistress and her assistant at Sabine
are reported drowned.
lo give some idea of the velocity oi
the wind, a silver spoon was blown fron
the residence of Wm. Harris a distance
of twelve miles.
Mrs. Junkers, a ladv mentioned.
was found this evening, and a eaak
lias been telegraphed for from Orantfe
Sir. Mais Broussord lost 25.000
worth of cattle; some reports say muct-
more than that. All the eattle not lost
will die. as nothing is left for them :to
subsist upon, salt water covering
everything.
Mrs. Otto Brown floated 25 miles d
feather bed. She had her child with
her but it got benumbed and died -in
convulsions. During its struggles it
knooked the, mother into the Water. The
waves pitched Mrs Brown back on the
bed.! She was Anallv found in a little
inlet and was saved. Captain F. A.
Hyatt and William Guv report that thev
bad singular experience at members
of the relief committee, on their waj to
the pass. The train cn which they were
travelling stopped on a bank five miles
from town. The water all around tbi
neck of land on which; was placed the
track was fully 8 feet deep. ; The hands
of Messrs. Hyatt and Guv were
blistered Ircm fighting snakes, which J
Lterallj oovered the ground for a dis
tance of five miles. There were' thou
sands of water moccasins from the over
flowed diatriot, taking refuee i on the
narrow stretch of land, and every step
across had to be fonght through twisting
serpents, many of them deadly stump-
tauea mooes ins. larger than a man
ana. Wild eats, frenxied at the water's
fury, rushed pell-mell upon the pedes
trians, wnue raccoons and every variety
of animals: snapped at the passers-by
with hydrophobic rage, i Many timrs
the pedestrians left the land and swam
around the angry reptiles, rather than
try to bass them. UaDt. Hvatt alone

killed over 150 snakes during his walk
oi nve miles, which consumed about ten
hours, truy says no money could' get
nun to male the trip over again
In stepping about he was tripped and
thrown t y a snake two inches in diame
ter and fully five feet long.
As a meeting of the citisens of Beau

with Jaayor Calhoun as permanent chair
man, lnis general committee is subdi

tees, consisting of white and colored
citisens, were appointed to look after
the colored sufferers. A committee of
five was appointed to take a steamboat

Before the adjournment of the' general

safferers. The committee on flnanoe
was instructed to solicit funds and sun
plies from all sources and will gladly
accept old clothing or anything that can
be used ny tne destitute peopie. .. ,
Mayor Calhoun issues the fol
lowing: In view of the urgent
and dire necessity of the h unless
and despoiled people of Sabine Pass I
request immediate help in their- behalf.
Aid of any kind is invited: provisions.
clothing or money. The people are
without means of any kind."
Chairman iireen, of the committee on
lodging, has already made the lady re
fugees comfortable for the time being.
A train which went toward Sabine today
as far the track allowed, . returned here
at 8 p. m. Fifteen bodies were recovered
on a high land oalled Back Ridge, west
Of Sabine, and were buried; ;Siz bodies
of women were recovered on the west
shore of the lake, two colored and four
white, put being that of Mrs. W. A.
Junker,: of Carlisle.; Mr. Junker U
fctill missing. The steamer Emily
has retu-ned from Johr.son bayou to
Orange, and reports that the ' peopie
drowned at that place were ohiefly col
ored The deaths at : Sabine Pass and
vicinity will aggregate more than ninety,
and at Johnson bayou about eighty-five.
Only three houses are left fit for human
habitation, though perhaps a dosen are
standing in a precarious condition. Peo
ple who escaped with their lives are
completely ruined financially, the ma
jority of them not being able to provide
themselves with the bare necessities of
life. . A telegram from the merchants of
Galveston to the relief committee here
says: "Galveston subscribes $1,000.
Draw on Ball, Hutchings & Co. for that
amount." The Mexican schooner Her
cules is high nd dry at a point called
the oil ponds. Her oaptain reports that
he was bound for New Orleans A cir
cular will be addressed by the finance
committee to the principal basiness
houses in the centres of the country,
asking assistance. While subscriptions
from looal and neighboring points have
been free and liberal, they are sufficient
only to supply the requirements of a
few days.
Galvxstoh, Texas, Oet 16. Further
particulars of the great disaster at Sa
bine Pass and Johnson's bayou are con
stantly being reeeived. The situation
has not been exaggerated in the least
A correspondent who has just returned
from Sabine Pass telegraphs from Orange
that turkey-bnziards are soaring over
Sabine for miles around, over the land
and water. It is one vast charnel-house.
Sabine Pass was a prosperous village
when last Tuesday dawned. It is now
a centre of wreck and desolation. There
are 127 persons missing and supposed
to be dead. Only about twenty-five
bodies have thus far been recovered.
There is not one sound house in the
town of Sabine. - Every house is an ab
solute wreck. This in brief is the story
of the storm. Innumerable touching,
heartrending stories of the storm are re
lated by the survivors. One house,
containing fourteen colored persons, was
seen to go down with a crash, and every
one of them was lost. Incidents are re
lated of husbands lashing wives and
children to floating wrecks and seeing
them killed by heavy logs being driven
against them.
Galveston, Oct. 16 The damage can
only be estimated by the value of the
town, for all is lost. The sab me 4
East Texas railroad is washed out for
a distance of ten miles. The ties have
floated eff and the rails are twisted like
wires, this being caused by the great
hurricane. Millions of dead fish were
cart up by the waves. Tboufitd
of birds also cover the ground. A
young woman in a perfectly nude state
was found roaming around on the pra-
rie yesterday, five miles from Sabine.
She was demented and could not tell her
name.
When the government tug boat
Pemrose reached Sabine Pass yesterday,
Columbus Martee was found around the
delta, looking for babies. ; He said:
Mjeelf, my wife and three children
Were clinging to a floating roof which
was gradually breaking to pieces. I
could not reach her. A piece of the
roof supporting her broke off and she
sank before my eyes. I held on to the
youngest child, named Pearl, some
timo longer.. The ohild, addressing me.
Baid 'Papa, I'm tired? won't yo'u walk
with mtf Ihe piece of roof 1 was on was
now crumbling to pieees. I told the
little cue to kiss me. She put her arms
around my neck, gave me a big squeese
and lust then a big wave dashed us off
and I knew no more. Great Godl why
didn't I go down, too?" He was pressed
to go on board the renrose, but refused,
saying "Here is where lie the bodies of
my wife and children and here will
stop until I find them."
No tongue ean tell how the people
have sutlered in the past few days.
The number of the victims of the hur
ricane is fully 200. Beliable informa
tion from Johnson s bayou arrives
slowly, as an tne roads are impassa
ble and only two boats are running in
that seeuon. Ihe destitution of the
survivors, of whom there are over 1,000
around Johnson's bayou and Radfurd
village, is described as something awfuL
J They lost everything and are withont
1 food, shelter or clothes.

Durham Recorder.
Some time ago we made a statement
that Col. Nichols, the. self-nominated
candidate for Congress, while postmas
ter of the eity of Raleigh, turned off
white clerks and put a negro in their
places. : Col. Nioholfl wrote ns a letter
stating that it was not true. While in
Raleigh yesterday Mr. Chas. C. Mo-
Donald, son of Col. John A. McDonald,
a leading Knight of Labor in that oity,
said that he was a olerk in the postoffioe
at the; time mentioned; that Col.
Nichols informed him he could not em
ploy him any longer but he eould re
main a month until ne could get a
place. Mr. McDonald then tendered
his resignation and Col. Niohols imme
diately appointed the negro. Now what
do you call this? Mr., McDonald is a
gentleman of the highest character and
integrity. He is a young man, working
on a salary with Messrs. Alfred Williams
& Co., at Raleigh. We give this to
show that the old "boy" was chased
and chastised all around the stump Yet
Col. Niohols claims to be the friend of
the workingmen. That may be true,
but be prefers the colored man in prefer
ence to the intelligent white boys.
Let the white men of this district
read and reflect. Lot the white men of
Chatham read how an honored son of
that oonnty was treated.

A. O. Snipes who killed Sesse Smith
Monday night, has had his hearing and
been discharged on the ground that the

Baker in Stokes a few years ago, but
was acquitted.

Richhosd? Va., Oct 16. When tho
general assembly of Knights of La
bor resumed its session this morning
the discussion of the report on Mr.
Dewey's plan ferine establishment of a la
bor journal as the organ of the order, was
resumed It was expected that the de
bate on the subject would not be per
mitted to continue long, and that the
report of the committee on laws on the
revision on the constitution, the action on
which had been interrupted by the
election of, general officers wcujd, be
again taken up. It was rumored that
the committee on law had charged the
report on the revision Of the constitution
aa originally, submitted! to a special
committee on the subject, so as to pre
serve intact assemblies as they exist at
present, and thus ' remove objections
raised against this olause of the revised
constitution. General Treasurer Turner
left here this morning for Philadelphia,
where more than $20,000 worth of
money orders are awaiting his signa
ture, He will return Monday.
The discussion on the newspaper pro
ject was brought to a close by the adop
tion of a motion to lay the matter on
the table. The committee on laws again
got the ftor and that part of the report
cn the revision of the constitution relat
ing to the duties of general officers was
adopted. The discussion of a olause re
lating to 8tate assemblies was in pro
gress when the hour for the noon recers
arrived, ai d it was resumed at the after
noon session.

The past week has certainly been a
busy one The cotton receipts were
heavy every day. Over twelve oouuties
are selling cotton here, and the farmers
all realiie the fact that Raleigh prioea
are higher than those of any inland
market in the State. The increase in
receipts, as compared with last season,,
shows what is being done here, and is
the plainest proof of the exoellenoe of
the market and the attractions it offers
This week will be made notable by
the beginnieg of work on the street rail
way, and by next Sunday a good deal
will have been done, no doubt. Mr.
Snodgrass says he will push work aa
rapidly as possible.
The tobacco sales this week will be
large and the season will .open regu
larly, j The warehousemen have advices
of much tobaooo which will be here, and
Raleigh will handle the leaf from over a
d son counties. The business will be
in excess of last season's. The advance
in prioes for all grades, axd for both

quite a boom and will please the farmers.
Much tobacco will be here by rail.
