THE TEXAS. CYCLONE. Additional Details of Suffer- ing Along the Coast. THE SHIPPING AT MORGAN'S POINT Vivid Description of the Incoming of the Tidal Wave, FAMILIES ENGULFED IN THE FLOOD, Land Submerged that Never Felt Salt Water Before. Houston, Texas, Sept. 22, 1875. We are only now getting at the terriblo character of the gale which has visited this coast. Its disastrous sweep was felt more at Morgan’s Point than at any other place within a radius of miles. The Point at one time lay ten feet under water. We now begin to appre- ciate the dreadful destruction wrought. It sickens the heart. But little damage was sustained by Morgan’s flect, but the survivors of the catastrophe will probably remember this as the most appalling vis- itation which has visited or is ever likely to visit them again, The experience of those who were driven on the raft through the ship channel at Morgan’s Point, on Friday afternoon, recalls the shipwreck of the Me- dusa, THE SURVIVORS OF THE RAFT, Mr. Post, Mr. Pierce and one child, Mr. West and his wifo, had just got into the ship channel canal when the roof of a house swept down the canal and overturned the ratt, Mr. West rose, holding his wife, and seized the roof. ‘The flood struck it on the east side, striking the bank, and all were again thrown into the seething flood, Mrs. West was stunned, Post was carried on the bank | sensoloss, On the other side of the bank lay a coal tug, driven there by the gale. Nelson, who had brought her upin the teeth of the gale from Red Fish, and Mr. Rhett were on board. Moans attracted their attention on the other sido of the dump, They found Mrs. West and child, the only survivors, and carried them to the tug. Within’ halt an hoar Mrs. West gave birth to a boy. The hardy seamon acted as pro tem. nurses; and some good women, who were soon upon the scene gave directions which, doubtless, saved the mother’s life. As soon as the gale had sufficiently abated, and the con- dition of mother and child would warrant it, Mrs. West was carried up to the Morgan place, where the occu- pant, Mr. Edwards, did everything to. make her eondi- tion bearable. By advices from the Fowler both were progressing favorably yesterday evening. The abovo named getitleman is now housing six homeless families, VESSELS RESCUED, Most of the vessels of the Houston Direct Navigation Company have been rescued. They were scattered by the gale at Lynchburg. The steamer Matamoros No, 2 dragged her anchors for miles, but rode out the Lynchburg gale. King & Co.’s steamer Star and barges, as well as the tug Gibbs, | haye been recovered undamaged. Captain Bell, Engineer Lack and crew of four men re- ported twenty-four persons rescued, among them Dr. Chamberlain, who came up the Bay, and stated that he was on a rait, holding his wife’s head out of the water. ‘The curreut snatched her from his arms just as a rope’ was thrown around himself, THE WATER, according to Dr. Massey, was thirty-four inches above his own place much stock perished. The samo is pre- sumed to be the case at the more open points between | Morgan's Point and Lynchburg. The warehouse of the Ship Channel Company on Morgan’s Point 1s the only building lef standing on | the immediate shore of San Jacinto or island. ij Wood and cut. timber, the accumulations of many | years, have been swept away, The mainstay of many | people—the flatboats and other craft—have been de- stroyed. A considerable amount has already been subscril for the sufferers, : DAMAGE TO RAILROADS. It will take a week to repair the bridge of the Inter- national Railroad; that on the Brazos Sunset route will require at least the same time. Destruction to crops is reported from all points inland. DESTRUCTION IN BRAZOS COUNTY, At the Patton place, Brazos county, owned by Colo- nel Hutchins (Mr. Crews, manager), the sugar house and several smaller buildings were blown down. Mrs. Dance and her granddaughter, two years old, are lost. All Others on that side were saved by “the } Liverpool steamship Australian, which had been driven there by the gale. On the west side, at the mouth, one person is supposed to be lost. Mr. Winslow is known to be saved at the mouth. At the Lake Jackson plantation, owned by Messrs. Ward, Dewey & Co., the sugar house was blown down, At the Wharton place, owned by the widow of General Wharton, sugar and gin houses were blown down and other damages sustained, At Widow Stevens’ plantation and those of Greenvill M. Neil and Joel Bryan, all the sugar houses are down. Colonel Hawkins’ sugar house was demolished at the same time. At Colonel Sharp's placegat Chenango, at the mouth of the San Bernard River, the gale prevailed with great severity, and blew much harder than on the Brazos. Sickening details of the loss of life come from thero on the east side. Houses and property generally suffered terribly at Brazos, but no lives were lost. MATAGORDA DESTROYED. Matagorda is gone, Five houses only are standing. No lives reported lost in the town. FIPTREN PAMILINS PERISH, Every soul, however, of the fifteen families which lived on Matagorda peninsula are supposed to have perished. Not a shred is to be seen there, L088 TO CROPS, Trustworthy people gave much information to Mr. Crews, in Columbia, before he left. Loss of planters es- timated at two-thirds, with picking backward. Sugar cane levelled with the earth. No great aftercrop anticipated. The Columbia Branch Railroad is damagod, but not to any considerable extent, In Orange the water rose very high, but there was no damage to the place or immediate vicinity. The mail steamer Pelican State, en route from Sabine Pass to Wicss’ Bluff, was wrecked near Johnson’s Bayou, Three negro deck hands are missing. Considerable damage was done to the farms along Johnson's Bayou. No reliable information has been received from Sabine Pass. Judge Gustave Cook and family returned from Quintana yesterday by way of Brugona They fur- nish the following particulars of the cyclone on that part of the coast, embracing VELASCO AND QUINTANA, The wind commenced blowing on Tuesday night from the northeast, changing cast, then southeast, By Thurs- day morning it was blowing @ burricane, sixty to eighty miles an hour, During Friday the wind blew with the greatest force. The water from the Gulf was driven with great rapidity and was manifestly A TIDAL WAYR, and from low tide it could be seen coming forward in a plateau, and soon the wifole country overflowed, “The storm Is described as being like a picture of a tropical hurricane, The ocean waves beat over the roof of the two story house occupied by Judge Cook, and the waves even rolled on to the plantation of Colonel Jobn H, Hein- der, tearing up trees eight miles from the Gulf, The tide rose from twelve to fourteen feet above low mean tide, six or seven feet higher than ever known, and six fect | deop on the,lands that had nover been touched by salt | water, The towns of Velasco and Quintana were swept away, Only two or three houves are feft standing, and they are in a dilapidated condition. ‘ THE LOSS, at alow valuation of property, there ts fully $30,000 In live stock the loss is not ascertainable, The people | Tho San Antonio road expects to get a span in the Brazos bridge at Richmond in a few days, The Galveston Railroad | distress of the sufferers, and confidently appeal to | donors any contributions which may be mado through Cloudy weather and rising temperature, with north” | and continued forty-eight hours without ceasing, The are in need of provisions and clothing, mone having saved anything but what they wore. THE POPULATION, There were about 125 people at Quintana and 50 at Velasco, mostly women and children. The saving of life is attributable to the untiring energy and wonderful coolness and bravery, under such circumstances, of the following LIST OF THE BRAVE, Tony Metcalf, Captain Albert Bowers, Adolph Er- hardt, William Hudgins, Jobn Broughson, Thomas Winsor, William Seaborn and Mr. Perry. These, with ‘only a small skiff, worked from Wednesday will Friday morning. They gathered up the people and took them to the schooner Verbina, Captain Albert Bowen, a small ten or twelve ton craft, which had come to the reseue. Judge Cook and daughter, Miss Ida and others, waded in the water up to their shouldegs to reach the schooner, | which, being in still deeper water, they would be gathered into the skiff and then pushed over to her, In this way some hundred or more got aboard, the tide all the time rising. Judge Cook also mentioned that the steamship Aus tralian, after dragging anchor, ran on the shore at St. Barnards, and now lies in eight feet—her draught being seventeen feet. [t is estimated that it will cost not lems than $100,000 to get her off, even if she can be saved. DAMAGE TO COTTON, , The very latest express agent from Laling reports considerable damage to houses and plantations between Brazos and Guadaloupe. Beyond the Colorado the storm was lighter. All the open cotton was blown out Freestone county losses of cotton are heavy. Navarro, Limestone Falls and Brazos counties lose ten per cent of the cotton, The news from Fort Bend county, east of the Brazos River, is that Kirkston and Varney’s lakes aro over- flowed, flooding the whole bottom and greatly damaging the plantations. The cotton is all blown out, A num- ber of houses were blown down and three negroes killed. The plantation nogroes commenced praying, thinking Judgment had come. Several gin and sugar houses are down on Oyster Creek. Otherwise the losses between Houston and Columbia are comparatively light. FROM THE LOWER COAST, Later accounts continue to come in of destruction in the lower coast counties. It is estimated that little or no cotton will be picked on most of the plantations, One-fourth of a bale per acre had been picked. RAILROADS RUNNING. The Texas Central road is making regular connections, The International and Great Northern bas no trains be- low the San Jacinto. The river bridge is under wator, is badly washed between Clear Creek and Virginia | Point, but it is reported that the trains will ran through | from the south side of Buffalo Bayou this weck. Two hundred men are working on the Galveston bridge, and it is expected it will be repaired in two weeks. ‘The south approaches to the bridge over Bulfulo Bayou are gone, but will be repaired soon. The Columbia road is running through. The steamer Laura, of the Morgan's ship channel flect, is afloat, Morgan’s Point is a promontory jutting out into the fork of Galveston Bay, which runs up as faras San Jacinto. 4 San Jacinto lies about three milos west-southwest of Lynchburg, on the same fork of Galveston Bay, The position of Brazos county, with its chief town, Brazoria, and Columbia, both on the Brazos River, | can be at once seen by a reference to yesterday’s Heratp map, Lynchburg is a post village, of Harris county, Texas, on Buffalo Bayou, opposite to San Jacinto, about eighteen miles east of Houston, Matagorda, the capital of Matagorda county, Texas, | stands at the mouth of the Colorado River, 250 miles southeast of Austin city. Matagorda did a large trade, and was the depot for the produce of the Colorado val- ley, one of the most fertile portions of the State, It | used to be much frequented in summer by residents of the interior.

New Yorn, Sept 22, 1875, To rus Eviton or tae Henaio>— Under the head of “Board of Police,” in your edition of to-day, among other remarks, Mr. Disbeeker is re- ported to have said “he had in his possession evidence to show the manner by which Mr. Townsend obtained testimony—the manner in whieh be parchased i,” If these words mean that I have done anything injurious to Mr. Disbecker they feirly import that I have sub- orned witnesses against him. 1 have hed more trouble in getting proofs upon complaints which have beon sent to my Office for investigation before the committee than ‘m any part of my duties The charge he makes one quarterly dividend of $7,215 paid in July, 1875, on | stock of the United Railroad and Canal companies of the State, They also examined the State's source of revenue, and found no defaleation ex- cept in revenue payable by the Peunsylvania Railroad to the State. As to that, they found that during the time extending from September 30, 1871, to August 30, 1875, the late treasurer received from the railroad. company, for taxes, the sum of 1,142,827, while the anrount credited to the State in the books in his office and reported. to the Comptroller is only $1,062,662, leaving a deticit of $80,165, Besides this, Mr. Sooy, on the 19th of July, 1875, received a dividend of $7,217, which he has not entered in tho books, making a total deficiency of $87,382 found credited to the Treasurer, in the Mount Holly Bank, the sum of $28,321, which had not been reported to the Comptroller, and which reduces the defalcation to $59,061. Besides this, Mr. Sooy gave a check to the Attorney General on the 2d inst, tor the use of the State, for $14,944. This reduces the deficiency to As to what has become of this the coinmittee are not now prepared to state, except to say that there are strong and cogent reasons for believing that it has been squandcred and is entirely beyond the reach and con- trol of Mr. Sooy. The report oes on to state that for a considerable time before Sooy’s delinquency was dis- covered on many occasions he failed to re- ort truly the payments actually made to him. Divers of the payments made to him appear to have been diverted from the use of the State, and tn order to conceal such diversion and make his accounts appear correct he would obtain advances from | the Pennsylvania Railroad onaccount of accruing taxes not due or payable without informing the Comptroller thereof, and then report to tho Comptroller the money thus obtamed as having been received on account of taxes past due. These ad- vances appear to have been made upon representations that the State was in need of money for immediate use, and would be much accommodated by the advances, The report concludes as follows :— “The practice of the State Treasurer in receiving payments away from his office, in odd and often times small sums, arid when not due, was irregular and objec tionable, while his practice of not depositing the” moneys paid him within three davs after he recetved them to the Comptroller, as required by law, avd his conversion of the State’s funds to his own uso were | Megal, ir e report is signed by all the members of the com- mittee.

TOWNSEND, COLLISION OFF THE LIGHTSHIP, A VESSEL DISABLED BY YELLOW FEVER IN CoN- TACT WITH A BARK. At about four o'clock yesterday morning the Nova Scotian schooner Southern Home ran into the German bark Bremen in the neighborhood of the Sandy Hook Lightship, inflicting damages to the extent of about $5,000 to the German vessel. The schooner Southern Home, commanded by Captain 8. 8 Thomas, hails from Canning, Nova Scotia, and was on her way to this port from St Domingo Oty wah « cargo of cedar, sugar and lignum vite, &e., for Mess, A Nones & Co, when ‘The Captain had been very ill om the passage with yellow fover, His stoward has died from this fearful disease; the mate and four of the crew are stil iil with yellow fever, and there re only two man left te work ‘the shij e Captain, who ts from ‘Tington, Nova Beotia, is a oleaky fellow; otherwise he would never have succeeded, considering how short-handed he was, in bringing the ship inte port.

K. GARRISON FAVORS A DEw PRESSED ROAD, ~- ‘The Commissioners of Rapid Transit held a protracted meeting yesterday afternoon. The business transacted was of the usual tniscellaneous kind. Projectors were heard in favor of their plans, the details of the pro- posed structure discussed at length and conferences held with the capitalists who intend to embark im the enterprise, In regard to the question raised under the thirty-sixth section of the Rapid Transit Iaw, as te whether the functions of the Commissioners cease aftes they have fixed the plans or whether they are bound to form the new companies, limit the capital, &e., Mr, Nash, one of their jegal advisers, has given it as bit opinion that the latter duty is unnecessary in the cast of the Greenwich street and Gilbert companies, for tht reasons stated in yesterday's Heranp, It has alse been decided, as has been hinted in these columns some days ago, that the designation of the plans will only embody the general features of the structure. HARMONIOUS WORKING. AS regards the cost, Mr, Courtright, the Prosident of the New York Elevated Railroad Company, ad- mits now that their previons estimates wero fur tod low for building so solid and handsome a structure as the Commissioners require. He gave the assuranee, at the same time, that perfect harmony existed be- tween the Cominissioners and the capitalists, and that the requirements of the Commissioners, prompted aa they were by their desire to give the public the best, safest and handsomest structure, met with no opposi tion whatever on their part. The same opmion is ex- pressed by the other prominent representatives of the companies, and fall coutidence seems to be reposed in the ability of the Commissioners and their engineers to successfully grapple with the subject and hit upon the best avatlaile elevated plan, THE GRERNWICH STREET EXTENSION, The work on the Greenwich street extension has been progressing but slowly, The foundations have been set as far as Forty-ninth street, and on Tuesday the con- tractors wil! begin putting up the structure. At first it was expected that the extension would be finished to Forty-third street by October 1, and that trains would be run to Forty-second street by that time. Owing to the delay of the contractors it now appears probable ‘that this extension to Forty-second street will not be opened to the public until the middle of October, and the distance to the Park will then be finished as soon as possible, Mr. Courtright says that the business of the road this month shows an increase of seventy-five per cent as compared with last year. A STARTLING PROPOSITION, When the representatives of the Gilbert and Green- wich street companies had enjoyed a long conferenes with the Commissioners they all withdrew, in order to nf Mr. C. K. Garrison to have a private talk with them, It was aseertained that Mr. Garrison mado a state- | ment before the Commission desiring them to leave It to him whether he would build a depressed or an ele- vated road in the Third avenue, This seems to bear out the previous statement of Mr, Meltville Smith and Mr, Morris that they had brought caprtalists round to their plan and induced them to abandon the elevated schemes. After hearing Mr. Garrison the Commis- sioners called back the representatives of the two com. panties who had been waiting outside and intormed them of Mr. Garrison’s announcement. They ex- pressed considerable surprise, as it was generally understood that Mr, Garmson had always been one of the,strongest advocates of the elevated system, This declaration was regarded as one in favor of the de- pressed plan, The Commissioners were perfectly non- committal, and did not inform Mr. Garrison whether they woulll be walling to {x upou a depressed plan or not. To-day Messrs. Morris, Gardner and Smith are to appear before the Commission and make an elaborate argument in favor of this plan, Mr, Garrison’s sudden new departure opens, of course, along vista of possi- | bilities. Hitherto all the calculations of the Commis- | sioners, as well as of the people, have been with regard tw an elevated road. Mr. Garrison says that he and his | friends have the capital ready to build a road, | be it depressed or elevated, and, if they | should finally insist’ upon ‘the first, it fe | questionable = wheiler the ‘Commissioners can | aiford to disregard thoir preference, It is claimed that the Third avenue horse car company would make no opposition to a depressed road, because their horses | would not be frightened as by an elevated one; but this remains to be proved. The description of Mr. Morris’ |, Which is a modification of the famous ‘arcade’? 4, has been given fuily in these columns. Suttice tt say that it isan open eut about 15 feet deep, 21 fect | wie, and covered with tron girders, so as to leave an | opening of only 10 feet in width, which ts to be railed | on. The plan contemplates two tracks, and it is claimed that ft can be built tor $400,000 per mile, exclusive of equipment. i MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC NOTES, Matias Roeni, Saivini and Ristori in ‘Macbeth’? will be the | | | great theatrical sensation of the London season. | “Rabagas” is being performed at the Germania Theas tro, but the German adapter has carefully cut out all | the points that lent it any interest. | There seoms at last ground to hope that the daya when managers could steal the playwright’s work have | passed away, never, we hope, to return, Augustin Daly, lessee of the Fifth Avenue Theatre, ‘was surmmoned yesterday before Justice Quinn, on an affidavit istned by the executors of the Inte Peter Gilsey, owners of tho theatre, in which {tis alleged thet Mr. Daly ts in arrears for rent to the amount of $16,800. The affldavit states that Mr. Daly continues in possession of the theatre contrary to the wishes and ‘without the consent of the landiords, and requires him to remove from the premises or show cause beforg the Court for not doing so. The attorneys of Mr. Daly Aled an affidavit in response, after which the proceed. ings were adjourned until September 80, the landlords reserving the right to move for judgment on the sald aMdavit, and the tenant demanding a jury, | 10 BANISH CONTAGION FROM GARMENTS AND Ynen axed in the gick room or ward, disinfect them with Lexa s SELPHCR Soar, which is as potent to annihilate the commanteable principles of disease ax to remove every erup- tiow of the skin.
