A NIGHT OF AGONY.

A message tinder date San Franoiaoo, October 3rd, aayn that CUlrMtoo'a cry that she had been overwhelmed by the disaster of the century wai only too sadly verified. The work of restoring the stricken city to tome semblance of order was necessarily sjow owing to the completeness of the devas tation. More than 5000 bodies of the dead were unidentified, and these were cremated «r buried as fast as poasible, that the living might be guarded from the danger of pesti lence which waa feared for a time. Aid for the sufferers poured in from all parts of the United States, aud sp«cia! trains were rushed to the devattated districts as early as possible. A late report puts the number of dead at 12,000, and the loss of property at 20.000.000 dollars.

Mr Riohard Spillane, a well-known Gal vestoe newspaper man, and day correspon dent of the aisooiated press in that city, gives toe following account o! tbe disaster : —The wreck of Galvtiton wai brought about by a ttmpett s) terrible that no words can adequately desoribe its intensity, and by a flood which turned the city into a raging sea. The weather bureau records show that the wind attained a velocity of 84 (titles' an hour when the recording instrument blew away, so it is impossible to tti! what was the maximum. The sterm btgas about two o'olook on Saturday more i»g. Previous to that a great atom had

been raging in the gulf, and the tide wai very high. The wind at first came from the north, and waa in direot opposition to the force from (ho gu'f. While the atom in the gulf piled the water upon the beaoh side of the city, the north wind piled the witter from tho hay on to the bay part of tbe city. About- noou it became evident that the city w*» going to be visited with disaster. Hundreds of residences along the beach front were hurriedly abandoned, the families fleeing to dwellings in higher portions of the city. Every home was opened to the refugees, black or white. The wind was rttiog con stantly, and tho rain fell in torrents. The wind was so fierce that the rain cut like a knife. By 3 o'clock the wafers of the gulf and bay me*, and by dark the entire city was submerged. The flooding of tbe electric light plant and gas plants left the city in darkness. To go out into the streets was to court death. The wind was then at cyclone velocity. Rooms, oiaterna, por tions of buildings, telegraph potss and walls were falling, and the noiae of the wind acd the crashing of the buildiogs waa terrifying in the extreme. The wind and waters roae steadily from dark until 145 o'clock on Swoday morning. During all this time the people of Galveaton were like rats in traps. The highest portion of the oifcy was four to n>« feeb under water, while In a great m • jority of oases the atieets were submerged to a depth of ten feet To leave the house was to drown ; to remain wa» to court death in the wreckage. Such a night of ayooy has seldom beea equalled. Without apparent reason the waters began to aubside at 145 am. Within two minutes they had gone down two feet, and before daylight the streets were practically freed of the floid watera In the meantime the flood had veered to the aoutheaat. Very few if any buildings escaped it jury 1 here is hardly i habitable dry house in thtt city When the people whl? had escaped death went out at daylight to view the work of the tempest and the floods, they saw the most horrible eight imacm%b?e. —In the three blocks from Avonua No Avenue P in Tr^mont Street, I caw eight bodies. F>ur corpses warq in oae yard The whole o! the business Iron', for three blocks in from the Gulf was supped of every vestige of habitation ; tbe dwelling", the great Bathing establishments, the O jmpia, and every structure having being either earned out to sea or ita ruins piled its a pyramid far into the town, according to thi vogarlea of the tempest The life paving station at Fort Point was earned away, the crew being *wep across the bay 14 miles to Texas Q'vj. Eight perjons who were swept acroßß the bay dur ing too e'orai were picked up there alive. Eight ocean steamers were torn from their moorings, and stranded in hi bay. Some schooners, barges, and smaller craft are strewn bottom sido up along the piers.

Sports Association

A meeting of delegates to the Aehbarton Sports Association was held in the Arcade Chambers last evecing. Present—Mr Cox (chairman), aud Metsrs C Campbell, f Makeiß, W B Denshire, F Clark, P Orr, L J Hobbs, H 8 Drummond, and J Burgess The meeting was called to consider a letter from the Domain Board rs cycling track. The Board stated that it could not ace ita way to donate or aubctdue the amount "colieoted by Mr C Willis, but would under take the work of atphulting the track pro vidiog that the amount collected was handed to the Board, and the Sperts Association guaranteed the balance. The Board would give the Association twelve months to fiad the balance.

M; Denshire thought it would not be wise to guarantee thetsalance. Mr Cox stated that about £3i3 had been collected or r fibred, and according to a local man's estimate it would coat £100 to properly asphatt the track. He (Mr Cox) also thought id would not do for the Isiiciation to stand guarantee (or £50 or £60. He thought that the various Clubs interested thould take it in hand, or the Sports Association with the help of the various Clubs intereated, hold a carnival whioh might greatly help towarJs ihe fund-

Mr F Clark thought that it was no use holding a carnival.

Mr C Campbell stated that hii Club, the A,A,G & A U., had always p>id their share towards the maintenance cf the track, having paid £13 to £15 for the last fifteen to eighteen yeais. He thought the Associa tion had done its share towards keep ing sport going. Cycling has been goiog back of late, and most of the Clubs had iost money over their sports meeting. No doubt an asphalt track would be a good tbing for Ashburton, and a help to tbe various Clubs Interested, also a saving of labour and expense to the Sports Association or Domain Board. He (Mr Campbell) did not think it would do for the Sports Association to guarantee balance of money to the Domain Board, and would move as follows :—

" That the Sports Association cannot see its way to guarantee balance of money as required by the Domain Board, but this meeting recommend that the Clubs inter* ested should take steps to thoroughly canvass the district for subscriptions to raise balance of money required for asphalting track, and that a letter oe written to the varioui Clubs interested, urging that immediate steps be taken to ascertain if the various Oluba can raise balance by canvastiog or not, and inform the Association by the 15th of next month, seconded hy Mr Hobbs and parried." It was also decided that a letter be written to th«» Domain Board stating that the question re their letter, dated 16th October, bo held over for three weeke. The meeting then closed in the usual style.

BODY BOUND AT RAKAIA

Oa Thursday afternoon tome youths were out gathering firewood from th« Rakaia riverbed, and found the body of an elderly mm under a blanket covering a hole scooped out ia the sand* The same boys met the man a few days ago near the same place, and gave him a rabbit, part of which was found in his billy. No papers were found on the body, and only a few pence in the pockets. The matter was reported %o the polios and Constable Stanley brought in the body from some six or seven miles baiow the bridge last night. An inquest will probably be held fcrday. So far no one about here appaats to have known deceased. He was wearing an iron instrument on one of his iegt.

Mails—Four Frisco mail bags and one New Zealand mail bag were sorted at the Post Oflije this morning. Ths Wkaxher—A strong "Norweater" sprang up ia Ashburton yesterday morning with ita di«»gree»b!e ace imp wlmants, land those who expected the utual two or three days storm, weie agreeably relieved when about ltinoh time a heavy thower diiptUed the dost. The later portion of the day waa clear and pleasant.

An AlTer Collection.—The oftice bearers of Kno? Church on Sunday gave permission to the Salvation Army to take up a retiring collection at their doors after the morniog and evening services. The result of this kindly act was that the yoang ladles from the Army collected the sum of £313 i 4d, which is in addition to the ordinary church collection, the latter being up to the usual amount. The Army will devote the money to their self-denial fond. -Otago Daily Times, The Cyclikg Track—lo wili be seen oo reference to the report of the meeting of the Sports Association held last evening that the Assooiation waa unwilling to booome respoDsible for the balance of the cost of asphalting the cycling track, for which the Domain Board agreed to temporarily fiad the whole ot ;the cost so that the work could be pgoceeded with at once* As the cycling clubs have nothing to get from their rent to the Assooiation seeing that asphalted the track would cost nothing to maintain, and not asphalted it is practically useless, it is nob unlikely that they will recede from the Association,

i Hailstorm.—Our Rakaia correspondent' t wrote at 11.30 today :—A smart hailstorm I le passing over Rakaia, and there ie every I appearance of more rain. Rolling appears Ito be almost impossible this seassa on account of the constant showers.
