Judge C. C. Garrett, chief jus-
tice of the court of civil appeals
for the ' Galveston district, re-
ceived a message Tuesday after-
noon to the effect that the court
records are intact. The message
was from Mr. Harry L. Garrett,
deputy clerk of the court.
Hon. Harry Haynes left the
city Monday afternoon to go to
Galveston, if possible. On
arriving at Houston, Mr. Haynes
found that to get to Galveston It
is necessary to t?et a permit from
the mayor of Houston to start.
Another permit from the provost
marshal at Galveston is neces-
sary before persons are allowed
to^nd. Mr. Haynes says every
man he saw from Galveston told
him that people ought to stay
away from there. That every
man who went there and bought
a sandwich or a cup of water to
that extent deprived the helpless
women and children of that
amount of sustenance. Bread,
water, clothing and shelter and
not visitors are what the people
of the stricken city require.
Marshal law has been declared
and perfect order is being main
tained. Men thoroughly armed
patrol the streets with orders to
shoot, without investigation,
every man oaught robbing the
dead. It is reported that fifty of
these humafi hyenas met riohly
merited death Monday night.
A relief committee from Mid-
lothian Lodge, Knights of
Pythias, (A Temple, passed
through the city via the Santa
Fe Tuesday afternoon en route to
Galveston. Several Brenham
Knights were at the station to
greet them.
Not until the sea gives up its
dead will the number of lives lost
in the awful storm of September
8, 1W00, which devastated Gal
veston and neighboring coast
towns be known. On the flotsam
of bay and gulf are unidentified
who reach the shore like seaweed
floating on the ocean's surface.
Many have drifted out to the
depths of the gulf to become prey
for the sharks and fishes. Others
have floated to the shore, where,
being unidentified they are con-
signed to mother earth from which
they sprang without shroud or
coffin or customary burial rites.
These are sad circumstances to
chronicle, butihey are true.
At Texas City and at Virginia
Point, and other places, the
bodies of men, women, children
and animals come in with the
tide. Except where there is a
ring or some piece of jewelry
there is no clue to the identity of
the unfortunate who last Satur-
day, full of health and happiness,
I ound that death cometh as a
thief in the night, aud unshrived
strangers tenderly lay them to
rest in hastily dug trenches.
Mr. G. Herbert Brown, states
that a conservative estimate of
the dead is 1800 to 2000. It may
reaoh 2500. The full list of
names will never be compiled as
whole families were washed out
into the gulf and lost and their
habitations blotted from the face
of the earth, while hi^dreds of
the bodies found are disfigured
beyond recognition.
G. L. Russ, passenger con-
duoior on the international and
Great Northern railway, said to a
reporter: "I will not attempt to
describe the horror of it all; that
is impossible. When I left Gal-
veston men armed with Win-
chesters were standing over
burying squads and at the point
of the rifle compelling them to
load the corpses on drays to be
hauled to barges on which they
are towed into the gulf by tugs
and dumped into the sea.
As I left I saw a barge freight-
ed with dead on its journey to the
gulf.
This manner ®f burying is
imperative; the living must be
protected now.
To everybody 1 would say,
stay away from Galveston. Give
Galveston people transportation
to leave the island; that is the
ortly way the suffering can be
alleviated."
The railroads will suffer the
loss ofy millions of dollars in
actual damage, to say nothing of
the loss from stoppage of busi-
ness. At Galveston their
wharves, warehouses, depots and
tracks are ruined. The costly
bridges which connect the island
and the main land are in ruins
and must be entirely rebuilt.
The International and Great
Northern and Santa Fe have
considerable track washed out,
while the Galveston, Houston
and Northern will suffer heavily.
Master Louis and Miss Lula
Durr of Brenham are visiting in
Galveston and their parents are
very solicitous for their welfare.
Mr. Durr left Tuesday afternoon
for the Island City to see if they
tould be located.
Mr. Sam Schlenker and family
are also sojourning in Galveston
and their friends are anxious
about them. It is reported they
are safe at the Tremont hotel.
Mr. Gary Haynes of the Gal-
veston News has Bent word to
home folks that he is uninjured.
Himself and about 25 employes
of the News were caught in the
building Saturday night and
compelled to remain there until
Sunday night. On being finally
released Mr. Haynes and a com
panion found a piece of pie and a
half-pound of soda crackers for
sale and this was their sole
sustenance from Saturday night
until Monday afternoon.
Mr. Robert Striekert left Tues-
day for Houston and there will
join a party for a trip by boat to
Galveston.

The Cettoi Cora far Caterpillar*.
The caterpillar p#t, which r few
years ago wrought great havoc
among shade trees in various cities,
has been almost wholly done away
with in Philadelphia. The preven-
tives which were applied, in the
shape of cotton wound around the
trunks of the trees, have tended to
lessen the breeding of the pests, so
that now the worms are Qoing very
little damage to the trees. These
roll* of cotton "furnish a fine breed-
ing place for the caterpillars, but
they are so easily found that bv us-
ing a poisoned w»ter early in the
cpring thousands of the destructive
worms are killed.

GORE TO BRENHAM.
Prof. W. C. Grossman and
family left today for Brenham
where ho has been appointed to
teach the branches of German
and Latin in the city public
schools. In these branches as
well as English and classics gen-
erally the professor is quite pro-
ficient, having occupied before
coming here positions in Vir-
ginia schools which demanded
a very high order of scholarship.
In addition to his work in litera-
ture^ Prof. Grossman is also a
musician and instructor in ad-
vanced piano and organ music of
rare ability. His pupils, patrons
and friends have paid him a very
high compliment in their en-
deavor to hold him here, but the
path of duty and interest seems '
to indicate the choice of Bren-
ham. He goes to one of the ad-
mirable interior cities of the state
and will no doubt there fill a
sphere of great usefulness. As
an artist Mrs. Grossman has also
earned quite a reputation in our
city. The Star wishes the pro-
fessor well in his new environs
and trusts that his lines may al-
ways lie in pleasant places.—

Prof. Groesmann was a pleas-
ant caller at this office Tuesday

agreeable.

Mr. Fritz Schendel and fam-
ily arrived at noon Tuesday from
Needville, Fort Bend county.
Their residence was scattered to
the four winds by the storm.
Several members of the family
were leverely bruised but none
seriously. They took refuge in
asmok . house on top of which
the abandoned residence felj
with a crash. All of them were
buried in the debris, and how
they escaped with their lives can
only be explained as miraculous.
Mr. Schendel formerly lived in
Brenham.
The Santa Fe railroad is
carrying train load after train
load of track material and extra
gangs to points this side of
Galveston where large sections
of track are washed away. It
will probably be months before
trains are again running in to
Galveston. Rebuilding the
bridges across the bay will re-
quire many daya and an enor-
mous outlay of money.
judge Ed. r. Sinks returned
yesterday morning from Alvin.
He found the family of his
brother-in-law, Mr. J. A. Cooke,
uninjured, but with their resi-
dence badly wrecked. Judge
Sinkr says the desolation of
Alvin is heart rending. There
were seven persons killed out-
right by the storm.

In the Knglish writer Grant
Duff's "Motes from a Diary, 1886-
88,'" is an Emerson anecdote. It is
related that at a breakfast which
nclmlcd Colonel Hay and Frederic
Harrison, Mr, Atkinson, "the New
England free trader," mentioned
that (iartield had told him that the
beginning of his intellectual life
whs a lecture delivered by Emerson
at Witliamstown, which excited him
to the highest possible degree; so
much so that when he left the hall
and looked at the bill that riecs
over Williamstown it seemed all in
blaze. He lay awake the whole
night, yet the one-sentence which
had remained in his mind was this;
"Mankind is as lazy as it dares to
be." .
