Australian, and reports that the vessel
lies in live and a half feet of water.

much time and great expense to get her
afloat.
Ueneroim Act.
The steamship Harlan, Capt. Lewis,
which arrived from Indianola yesterday,
before leaving that place gave what
cculd be spared of her provisions to the
sufferers. This is an act of generosity
which, like all others that have been
recorded since the storm, should call
forth the highest commendation.

Mr. Win. Blake had a high old time
of it yesterday, and the result is that he
has only three charges against him on
the record to-wit, for being drunk and
disorderly, discharging firearms within
the city limits, and resisting arrest,
meanwhile William reclineth in the city
hotel with three other recent arrivals,
charged with similar indiscretions.
Land I'lraio*. Beware!
Mr. E. S. Wood, who believes that one
of the greatest injuries to Galveston is
the digging of sand from the beach, au-
thorizes the statement that he will pros-
ecute at his own expense any one
caught hereaftir taking Band from
the Uulf beach. He is determined if the
Council do not move in the matter, to
take the responsibility on his own shoul-
ders, and stop at once the destruction ol'
the natural protection agaiost the Gulf,
or what is left of it.

Trinity Guild."
Trinity Church Guild is doing good
work among the destitute, and in giving
relief to sufferers by the late Hood. All
contributions of food, money or clothing
should be sent to the Secretary, Mr. Har-
rison, at the court-bouse, by whom they
will be disbursed to the relief com-
mittees.
Mr. P. C. Baker, President of the
Guild, requests the News to state that
there will be a meeting of its members
to day at 12 m., at the otSce of J. S. Sel-
lers, on Strand.
The Charity Committees of the Guild
are:
Northwestern District—E. Neuman, W. B.
Bennett, E C. Hagood.
Southwestern District-A. H. Belo, F. S.
Grinnan, <i. E. Mann.
Northeastern District—Winter Walker, J.
P. ETanr*, W. D, Sorloy.
Southeastern District—Rutus Cage. J. s.

Sanitary.
The acting Health Officer, Mr. W. H.
Prowse, requests citizens having any
dead cats or chickens about their pre-
mises to either bury them, or else give
notice at the health office, on the Strand,
corner of Central Wharf, and men will
be sent to attend to the matter at once.
The large number of drowned animals
in various parts of the city, part of which
carion has been covered by baards and
other rubbish during the late high water,
and is only exposed by parties searching
for their property, renders it almost im-
possible that the four drays controlled
by the health department could attend
to the disposal of the carion except with
the co-operation of the citizens, by giving
notice at the office of such matters as
may be neglected.
A compliance with this request will
rid the city of any offal, and prevent the
fouling of the atmosphere by the decom-
posing animal matter.
Harbor Improvement*!.
Lieut. Quinn has received instructions
from Maj. Howell to proceed, as soon as
he can organize a party, to make a resur-
vey of the point and bay, and learn the
condition of the jetty. Lieut. C^uinn will
organize his forces immediately.
Yesterday his office was thronged with
the laborers lately employed at the point,
who were being paid off. The men have
lost all their personal effects and are
without a change of clothing. Tliey bear
up well under the circum Uances, und in
answer to their interrogations as to when
work at the point would be resumed.
Lieutenant Quinn informed them that of
this he was not certain, but when he did
would give them employment.
From the foreman, Mr. Pease, it was
learned that all the men had reported
and signed the pay roll but two,"John
Stronquist and Henry Brady, who are
given up as lost.
Of the vessels employed at the Point,
two barges, a tug, a pump scow, and h
dredge, the first three are saved, and will
be ready In a short time, with little re-
pairing, for use. One of the barges was
towed in yesterday, by the schooner
Anna, from the outer roads, where it was
drifting.
City Council.
The Board of Aldermen held an ad-
journed regular meeting yesterday vat 4
o'clock P. M.
On montlon of Alderman Jordan, Al-
derman Davie was chosen presiding
officer in place of Mayor Fulton, absent.
Present—Aldermen Chapman, Nichols,
Ward, Jordan, Halff, Carville, Munn and
Hennesay.
Alderman Nichols moved that the
reading of tbe minutes of the last meet
ing be dispensed with.
Alderman Chapman stated that any
corrections in the minutes should be
made at the meeting succeeding the one
of which said minutes were taken.
Several attempts were made to adjourn,
and Alderman Halff hoped that this
would not be done until provision was
made to relieve the sufferings of those
who have lost by the flood.
Discussion ensued, during which the
members gave evidence that they were
not prepared to act promptly End were
interested with other matters to the ex
elusion of coming right down to the
work in devising a method of granting
relief to the sufferers. It was finally
concluded that there should be an Act-
ing Mayor who could have immediate
supervision over the distribution of aid
t) the sufferers.
On motion Alderman Davie was ap-
pointed Acting Mayor in the absence of
Mayor Fulton.
Notwithstanding Alderman Halff in-
sisted upon taking such action as would
officially authorizi the Fire Committee
to render the relief necessary to alleviate
the wants of sufferers, the Council ad-
journed without action until Thursday,
at 4 v. m.
Injthe discussion previous to adjourn-
ment the members seemed unable to
agree upon a plan, aud the opinion
seemed to prevail that it was advisable
to have a full board and the Mayor of
the city present without taking any ac
tlon whatever.
Alderman Halff alone voted against
adjournment.
dkvei.oped bv THE
QUEST.
About one o'clock yesterday the men
on the government tug, while towing a
barge near the point, where the light-
ship now lies, saw a body floating in the
water, and, hftchicg on to it, they
brought it to this city, landing it to the
east of Kuhn's Wharf.
Coroner Hancock was notified, and,
summoning a jury, proceeded to the
place where the body was lying, and af-
ter the formalities of the law had been
complied with, the following evidence
was taken :
B. M. Pease, being sworn, says: Whon we
were towing tho barge up this morning, we
discovered the body floating in the water
about MX> teet this side of the light-ship. 1
d£ not know who it is The body is too much
decomposed to be Identified. I should judge
it to be a boy about sixteen years old. I think
it is too large for Willie Bionnt. We had no
boy about the works except one who was
saved.
Joseph Williams, being sworn, says: I think
the body is Willie Blount. I am positive that
is Willie Blount. I knew him well.
Whereupon the jury rendered the following
verdict: "We the jury do say that Willie
Blount came to his death in the county of
Galveston, on the 21st day of September, IS75,
from being drowned in the water of Galves-
ton Bay."
The body was then sent to the under-
takers', Messrs. Crossman & Simpson, and
placed in a metallic casket, where it was
identified by the old negro woman Mil-
lie, who has been in Dr. Peete's family
for a number of years, and has known
Willie since he was a babe. She also
identified the pants he had on, which
were the only clothing left on the body,
as those worn by Willie.
Several others who had known Willie
intimately recognized the body by cer-
tain marks, and among them the traces
of an operation which the deceased un
derwent some years ago.
There can be no doubt that the body
is that of Willie Blount, and from the
marks of decomposition about it. as well
as the ravages of the fishes, it is evident
that it has been in the water for at least
three days. The remains were imme-
diately taken to Magnolia Cemetery,
where the last sad rites were performed
by the Rev. Dr. Bunting.
The finding of this body destroys the
last hope of Dr. Peete's safety, since,
from his well-known bravery and spirit
of self-racrilice, it is apparent that he
would not have allowed his loved grand-
son to perish so long as life and strength
remained to enable him to make an at-
tempt for his rescue.

Bodies Found and Buried.
Capt. James Johnson, Alderman Mar-
low and two seamen, left Galveston on
Monday afternoon for Shoal Point, in
search of the remains of Dr. Peete. The

About one hundred yards from the
landing place the body of a man was
discovered floating in. The man was
apparently about 30 years old ; had

Mr. Hart Settle, who, with a crew of

Meeting at the Cotton Exchange.
CASH SUBSCRIPTION OF SIXTEEN HUN-
DRED DOLLARS MADE UPON THE
SPOT AND CANVASSERS AP-
POINTED TO SOLICIT FUR-
THER CONTRIBUTIONS.
The call for a meeting of citizens for
the purpose of arranging for the relief of
the people of Indianola and other suffer-
ers to the westward of Galveston, drew
to the Cotton Exchange yesterday after-
noon representatives from almost every
commercial house in the city, while gen-
tlemen of every profession atd calling
were iu attendance, each vieing with tbe
other in endeavors to afford the relief re-
quired.
On motion, Mr. 11. S. Willis was
called to the chair, and Mr. Bun ett made
Secretary.
Mr. Willis proceeded without circum-
locution cr unnecessary preface, to state
the purpose of the meeting. It was
called, he said, with a view to organized
effort to raise means, provisions, clothing
and other necessaries, for the use of old
friends aud fellow-citizens of the State,
upon whom the hand of affliction had
heavily fallen. The occasion was one
that demanded action, not words, and the
best recommendation he could make to
the gentlemen present, was to proceed at
once with the business that had brought
them together—the raising of means
wherewith to relieve the pressing neces-
sities of the peop'e of Iudianolaand Cal-
houn county. To effect the desired pur-
pose it would be in order to appoint com-
mittees to take the management of the
organized effort which was to be made.
Many of the gentlemen present had too
much business of their own to attend to
at the moment to permit them to engage
iu the business of canvassing for sub-
scriptions, but he felt assured that all
such would respond to calls, when made
by young and energetic men, who would,
no doubt, volunteer for the occasion.
Mr. Lasker, of the firm of LeGierse &
Co., proposed that subscription lists be
prepared and the room canvassed at once
for subscriptions. It was necessary to
raise as much money as possible, but
provisions would be equally acceptable.
Delay would be productive of greater
suffering than the people of Indianola
had already endured. The object to be
attained now was to obtain money and
provisions ; the details of its distribution
could be arranged afterwards.
Mr. I. C. Levy thought the suggestions
just made were to the point, and inas-
much as large contributions had been
readily obtained for tbe succor of the
Chicago sufferers, it ought to be an
easy task to find relief for our own peo-
ple.
Mr. James Sorley suggested the ap-
pointment of a committee of three,
whose duty it should be to communicate
with the Mayor of Indianola and ascer-
tain what was most required ; also, to
canvass for sntsoriptions themselves, aDd
to have the power of appointing such as-
sistant canvassers as might be required.
In short, he suggested that this commit-
tee of three should have entire control of
the subscriptions and the arrangements
necessary to make tbe purposes of the
meeting a success. He would take the
liberty of naming the committee, viz :
Messrs. Seeligson, Braman and Lasker.
On motion, the suggestion was accept-
ed and the nominations indorsed.
Mr. Lasker was willing to do all in
his power to further the object of the
meeting, but thought it would be better
for the meeting to name at least eight
additional gentlemen on the committee.
If named now they would possibly feel
more disposed to devote their time to the
matter than if appointed by the commit-
tee of three, as suggested.
Mr. Lubbock thought that the resolu-
tion of Mr. Sorley covered the ground.
Lot the subscriptions be proceeded with—
the distribution could be made after-
wards. The authority of any one sug-
gested by the committee to solicit sub-
scriptions would not be questioned.
Mr. Wm. Bondies thought that if vol-
unteer canvassers were asked for gentle-
men would present themselves for the
duty, aDd the work could progress with-
out delay.
Tbe chair said he would submit the
resolution cf Mr. Sorley, which was
adopted.
Mr. Levy thought it would be meeting
a demand from the suffering districts to
accept provisions, articles of clothing, or
any description'of goods that would be
of use in a family.
Mr. Carlick suggested that the commit-
tee should wait on Capt. Fowler, and see
what arrangements could be made to
dispatch a steamer to Indianola.
Mr. Sorley submitted the following
resolution, which was adopted :
I'exolvcil, That the Relief Committee Ap-
pointed hy this meeting be requested to con-
vey to tho citizens of indianola and Calhoun
coun'v our t-ineere sympathy in their present
terrible affliction.
Mr. Lubbock said that the alacrity
with which the county and city authori-
ties had come to the relief of our own
citizens merited rec ignition by the meet-
ing, and he would offer the following,
which was adopted :
lic&Avcd, That this meeting appreciates the
action ot the City Council and the connty au-
thorities of Galveston city and county in aid-
ing our distressed and unfortunate citizens,
and that we trust they will continue to re-
lieve all worthy objects who may have been
unfortunate sufferets in the late storm.
In answer to call for volunteers to can-
vass for subscriptions, a number of gen-
tlemen reported to tho secretary.
An activ8 canvass for contributions
from gentlemen present was immediately
made, and tho handsome sum of $1630
in cash was obtained, besides large sub-
scriptions from grocers and others of
provisions.
The committees organized as follows :

Expression of Gratitude.
Eds. News—In remembering those who
so nobly gave aid during the terrible
storm, do not forget Mr. M. Struve, cor-
ner of Avenue Land Thirty-eighth street,
whose untiring kindnesses to many fami
lies deserve our eternal gratitude. His
house was filled with tbe sufferers, him-
self and wife furnishing beds aud com-
forts to the needy, and through the
night, to those who would not " desert
their ship," his voice was heard many
times, cheering thein.to hope the worst
would soon be over. But for his coble
aid, many in our neighborhood would
have passed those terrible nights in
water. Our grateful thanks are due him
and his kind wife, West Side,

The storm has not taken A. & S. Levy
away ; therefore bargains can be bought
yet at -their establishment. Again we
have received two cases of the best and
latest style prints, 13 yards for $1 ; ahso
a very fine assortment of dress goods,
such as all wool plaids of the very latest
patterns ; beautiful and very cheap flan-
nels ; good quality of Canton flannel at
12J cents, and many other new goods.
i. Keiffer is gaining custom steadily,
because he sells good shoes, boots, etc.
for ladies, children and gentlemen, at
the lowest prices in the city.
Many persons, whe have gone to the
very brink of the gr&ve beyoud the old
line that was once the limit of hope, who
have set their houses in order and taken
sad leave of their families and friends,
have been brought ba^k to life and vigor-
ous health by the persistent use of the
celebrated Home Stomach Bitters.
We Don't Care —Some dealers saj:
Yes, we know that Dr. Price's Flavoring
Extracts and Cream Bakicg Powder are
the best, but we don't care if others are
made of sawdust or arsenic, so loog as
they suit our customers and afford us a
better profit, we shail sell them. The
public should know these thiegs, and
know, too, the reasons why adulterated
baking powders aud flavoring extracts are
recommended by sucb dealers when Dr.
Price's are askek for. It is because Dr.
Price's cost more, and as they Bell them
at about the same price as others, it does
not give so good a profit. We should look
to the quality of articles that enter into
our daily food, and remember _ that the
makers of good goods can not put them
into the market at the same price of the
adulterated ones. Steele & Price, manu-
facturers.

through them, dimly displaying a large and
well defined solar halo. Lower clouds, cir.
stratus, made their appearance in the morn
ing. but cleared off by 7:30 a. m.

cu,, clearing to 2-4 from northeast rapidly,
showing a great agitation of the npper cur-
rent of the air, and exposing the sun fre-
quently by a cross current of air from the
east.
At 8:20 A. M. stratus clouds blew up with the
surface current completely obscuring the
upper closds, and giving everything a som
bre appearance.

1.37 lower than at 9:49 p.m.; at 10:49 a. m. it
was 0.20 higher, and continued to oscillate at
about that height for about half an hour,
when it fell rapidly to 29.407; at 9:49 p. M
oscillating during the observations over tlie
02 part of an inch in space frequently.
The daily fall—1.25 inch. Humidity—had in
creased from that of the 15th, the moan be
ing 91 7.
Wind—6:24, northeast, 33 miles per hour;
it backed to east by 8:30 a. m., where it
stayed the remainder of the day, blowing the
water up into the bay higher than the night
previous. The tide aft 3 p. m. remained eight
and half feet higher than the average at that
hour at the new grain wharf, and was then
rising rapidly. Tlie breakers on the south
side were then rolling into tbe city from the
Gulf, the water (lowing westward from the
accumulation of head water on the south side
of the high improvements on Broadway, from
whence it, found outlets to the back water of
tho bav on the north fide afong Twenty-fifth,
Twenty-sixth, Twenty-seventh and Twenty-
eighth streets, until the greater portion of tho
city was flooded with water, but not dan-
gerous to life save on tho extreme southeast
side, and amomj ground cisterns.
Clouds—Nimbus obscuring the sky all day.
Rain—6:24 a. M , .96 inch had fallen during

being .298 Inches lower than 9:49 on tho 16th;
it rapidly fell to 29.033 at 2 p. m , from which
point it rose rapidly. Since 6:24 a. m. of the
14tli it, had fallen, with hut slight intermis-
sion. from 30.082 to 2 p. m. on the 17th, 29.038,
making a fall of 1.044 inches, probably the
greatest authentically recorded fall at this
place.
Humidity—"Mean 1)0.7 for the day.
Thermometer fell rapidly all day to C5 de-
grees at 9:49 p. M., from 82 maximum at tho
same time on the 16th.
Wind Ranged in velocity according to the
Beaufort scale, from forty to sixty miles per
hour, all day. it backed gradually to south-
east in the night previous; after 7 a. m. it
backed to south by 10:49 a. m.; to southwest
by 2 p. m.; to northwest by 4 p. m., where it
remained at 9:49 p. m. It hurled the breakers
into the defenseless Gulf side, where they
spent their battering force upon the unfor-
tunate south siders, aud rolled down the
streets past the houses of the more fortunate
inlanders to the bav, causing tho greatest
overflow that has ever come upon the is'aud.
After trying us on that side it backed to the
northwest and flooded us again from that
quarter, and at tho same time reliieved us
altogether by blowing the water out of the
bay and draining the island.
Clouds—Nimbus to stratus, obscuring the
sky all day.
Rain—Fell steadilv to 12:15 p. m , measuring
2.C0 Inches since 9:49 p. m.
Weather—Very stormy all day.
September 18—6:24 a. m., barometer 29:762,
being t:724 inch rise since 2 p. M. 17th and still
rising.
Humidity—Decreasing rapidly.low tempera-
ture* wind blowing a gale, but decreasing
gradually, and veering from north to north-
west. Storm ended and the weather cleared
up and the storm came entirely to an end.
Summary—This storm produced the follow-
ing results, which shoufd make every Galvos-
tonlan proud of the stability of our little
island in weathering a storm:
The storm lasted altogether four days,
about seventy hours of which was the se-
verest on record in this latitude on land. It
precipitated 10.53 inches of rain ; blew 3438
miles or wind over the city, averaging 35 13-16
miles per hour; reached the dangerous veloc-
ity, from the south, of 60 miles per hour; it
flooded the city, first from the northeast on
the 15th, second from the east on the 16th,
third from the south on the 17tli, and fourth
from the northwest on the night of the 17th.
It teaches us the importance of fortifying
the beach against the assaults of the terrible
Gulf breakers, which are dangerous at 35
miles per hour. What manner of dykes shall
be built is the important qnostlon. As the
city's permanent prosperity has been doubly
assured by the late storm, let the work be—
first, durable, and next speedy by building one
hundred feet this side of high tida, two brick
walls parallel to each other, twenty feet
apart, five feet nigh, connected every ten feet
by transverse walls, the entire lengih of tho
city, and then carry the dredgings from the
bay, over tramways, and deposit it, In the
spaces between the walls. This is the most
suitable dirt that can be conveniently
gotten, and its displacement will increase the
commercial value to the harbor, it will form a
fine ballast, for the walls, upon which the'Gulf
sand could be either suffered to drift or
thrown upon it; and when thoroughly covered
up, salt cedars should be planted and foster-
ed on the top of this dyke. All streets should
passover its top. The entire cost of this
durable and much needed dyke would not ex-
ceed $9000 per block, which would be $180,000
for the most needy part of the city.
It would last for an age or two. am how,
with but little cost ot repair and keeping.

Messrs. M. Quin & Co , Galveston:
Dear Sirs—The writer is rather tired
of sickening scenes, having just returned
from a horseback ride gathering informe-
tion about those who lost their lives in
the late storm. I estimate the loss of life
will reach to full one hundred, though yet
nothing definite can be given. It may
reach much higher ; bodies are continu-
ally drifting ashore.
My family is Becure, though we lost
our entire possessions, wearing apparel
and all.
We congratulate ourselves upon our
safety, and it does me proud to assure
you that when we contrast our situation
with very many of those around us, we
feel glad that it is not worse. The loss
of property will reach fully $2,000,000.
No more than a dozen houses unhurt
in the whole city. Yours truly,
John e. Barlow.
a London dispatch says a leak in
the steamer State of Virginia was dis-
covered 100 miles east of Cape Race.
There were 14 feet of water before the
leak was located. The water-tight
compartments saved the vessel.
