SITUATION AT BRENHAM.
Brenham, Tex., July 4.—The rainfall dur-
ing the week has gone over 21 inches,
which is a greater precipitation than is re-
ported from any other part of the state.
At times it has been but a light shower, or
“Scotch mist,” while at other times it has
been a heavy, driving rain, which not only
fell upon the place beneath, but upon all
places about. At times accompanied by a
high wind it has caused damage to shrub-
bery, trees,, growing corn and other pro ■
ducts, at this time presenting a picture
that is one of devastation.
There are many valuable farms in this
county. The cultivated area is 231,000 acres.
The county is populated by a class of
thrifty Germans, Bohemians and Poles.
They do a great deal of their own work,
the entire membership of the family join-
ing in the farm work. They make good
crops, and they are people in a position
to bold the product at times for good
prices. None of them have escaped with-
out some damage to the crops, and this
damage is of such nature as to be very
hurtful. There have been previous years
when an overflow of the Brazos river has
caused damage and loss, but there is no
record to equal this one. In 1885, with its
raging torrent of red water rushing to-
wards the gulf, the Brazos did not overflow
to the extent that is now the condition.
Heavy rains have fallen heretofore, but
not such as these. And again, the rain at
this time comes so late. An overflow and
heavy rains in April or May would cause
great loss, but there would yet be time for
replanting. This has been the case in
many instances, but the rain came so very
late that replanting will not profit the
farmer. Some say that the only thing
necessary now is to sow seed in the bottom
land as soon as the water runs off, and it
will grow within a few days and a crop
will result, but a late crop. This is said
by good farmers to be impossible.
Brenham merchants will suffer heavily
by the damage. There are a number of
firms here who “carry” some of the largest
planters during the year, the settlement
being made in the fall when the crops are
laid by. There were advances made dur-
ing the past year that were to be made
good this fall, but how can the farmer do
it, with nothing to carry to market? Now
what will be done? A mortgage on a de-
stroyed crop can not be realized.
Up to this writing the inland farmers:
have not been heard from. It is known
that all bottom land is overflowed. On the
high ground the planters can not reach
town on account of the destruction of the
roads and bridges, and reports have not
commenced to come in. They will come in
later, however, and the anticipation of
what those reports will be is extremely un-
pleasant.

near their residence. They had sought
safety in a tree at 4 o’clock in the morn-
ing and when rescued were shivering from
cold and almost famished for water. Fur-
ther down the river Mr. T. S'. Dawson, a
merchant doing business at Port Sullivan
Bridge, was drowned while endeavoring to
save live stock.
About 10 negroes are actually known to
have been drowned in the bottoms imme-
diately tributary to Calvest and a great
many more, are missing. Four large sus-
pension bridges on the Big Brazos river,
which connected Robertson and Milam
counties, have been swept away.
Measurements made from barrels and
other vessels place out expressly for the
purpose show the actual fall to be from
30 to 36 inches at this place.

THIRTY-FIVE DEAD NEAR HEARNE.
Hearne, Tex., July 4.—More complete re-
ports from different points in the county
have been received here and al! are sub-
stantially the same, that an immense
amount of damage has been done and at
this time an accurate estimate is: impos-
sible. Parties coming from Bryan say
that as far south as they could hear from
and all along the Central to this point the
wreck-is: simply awful and the like was
never seen'lJefore. More people have been
added to the death list and the number is
now placed at 35 in this vicinity. Both the
Brazos rivers are going down slowly and-,
back water is running off very fast. The
International and Great Northern officials
who were- water bound here by the flood,
say they expect to have a train to this
point on Thursday. A slow rain is falling
here this evening.

SITUATION AT HEMPSTEAD.
Hempstead,. Tex., July 3.—The irony of
fate has willed that upon this day when
the Brazos deep water meeting was to
have been held at Brenham, there is more
water in the. Brazos, than ever known be-
fore. Today the river is six feet, above the:
1885 mark, the record-breaking mark up to
that time,, and still rising at the rate of
two inches per hour. Brazos county tele-
phones this morning to look for higher
waters and our planters do not know what
to expect since their places of safety in.
ordinary overfloows are gone. Last night,
one planter lost 50 head of cattle and. 10
mules, and saved the rest only by em-
‘ ploying block and tackle. These cattle
were supposed, to be on safe: ground and
some were saved by removal to the roof
of the gin. Reports of loss of cattle are
just now beginning to get in here and will
run into the thousands. Even on the
prairies stockmen have to work them-
selves to death getting cattle out of the
bogs, but there, too, the loss is heavy.
Conditions are simply appalling to poor
and wealthy alike.
The river tonight is at a standstill. At
' Sunny Side a negro was drowned yester-
day and hundreds of cattle were drowned
there at the same time. Railroad and

Oliver Howard Perry Belmont in his pa-
per, the Verdict, calls upon William Jen-
nings Bryan to abandon 16 to 1 anl lead
the Democracy to victory in 1900 on the
“Down With the Trusts” issue. There
wouldn’t be any particular significance to
this, but from the fact that Belmont is
the closest personal and political friend
Bryan has east of the Alleghanies. Bel-
mont believes Bryan is certain of the nom-
ination, and, if the financial plank is
subordinated to that of the trusts, the
.victory is sure.

THE DAY WE CELEE3ATE.
There is a sentiment and a significance t
in the celebration of the Fourth day of
iUuly but vaguely understood by the
masses of the people. It is not alone the
act of Jefferson and his colleagues that
we commemorate, but the greatness of
that triumphant democracy that slowly
»but surely is swelling through the civilized
Iworld and is. forcing a larger measure of
Ihuman liberty and political and religious
freedom w’herever the light of truth and
reason has penetrated. The virtual inde-
pendence of Canada and Australia, the
freedom of all the Latin-American na-
tions, the tolerance- of free thought and
free speech throughout Europe, the spread
general knowledge among the poor and
Vlown-trodden iji the monarchial govern-
ments of the world are- to be attributed
fiirectly or indirectly to the dawn of free-
dom in America. It is, therefore, not to
be wondered at that the foreign born resi-
dent of America participates with peculiar
jenthusiasm in the national festival. To
Uiim the lesson taught by the day is more
striking than to the. native born. The for-
eign born citizen knows, in a hazy way,
that the greater and more powerful and
more successful the republic the greater
.■will be the liberty the monarchies o.f the
world will be compelled to give to the
people. In the success of the United
States he sees the striking of the shackles
from the oppressed of other nations.
The Fourth of July, 1899, has for the peo-
ple of the south a sentimental interest
surpassing that of any national holiday
in nearly two score years. It is the first
anniveisary of the nation’s natal day
since the cementing of the Union on the
jiew, better and broader basis which was
reached when the men of the north and
the men of the south met side by side and
shoulder to shoulder to do battle in a
common cause and against a common foe.
Galveston, with its large population of
foreign born citizens and with its consid-
erable fraction of northern born people
will celebrate today as never before.

i not yet beeri decided how C'apt. Allen and
his crews-are to be rescued from quaran-

i the vessel’s incoming passengers and the
' federal authorities say they must remain

DECISION ON BANK CAPITAL.
Wednesday, June 28, and at 7.30 p. m. the
Houston and Texas Central bridge, with
about three and one-fourth miles of the
track, was carried away anl also about a
mile of the Western Union Telegraph
company’s line. The Brazos river, Big
creek and Little. Brazos continue tp rise
and. Friday and Saturday great work was
done by the citizens here, who secured
boats and went down the bottom, suc-
ceeding in getting out all the negro ten-
ants who had not come out before the
water from the river and Big creek flood-
ed the country for a distance of three and
a half miles, from hill to hill. Several
head of stock have been drowned. The
work train has repaired the damage at
Fish creek and is now at work at Big
creek and Little Brazos. The crops in the
Brazos river and Big creek bottoms are
ruined. The public roads are almost im-
passable. The town has been surrounded
on each side by water-courses that were
impassable. Numbers of men from here
were in Marlin at the time the country
was flooded and were forced to swim and
wade Big creep botton last Saturday to
get to their hemes. No trains have passed
here since noon last Wednesday. It is re-
ported that it will be several days before
any trains will pass. The crops on the
prairie that were near branches and
creeks were almost ruined; by being flood-
ed. The water in the bottom is slowly
' receding.
Navasota.—The flood situation remains
in statu quo and the waters are at last on
a stand with a probable fall of about two
inches. Rescuing negroes and stock con-
tinues with unabatable vigor, while . the
immediate wants of the sufferers are be-
ing supplied by citizens of this town,
negro went crazy
days and nights on

so far.
Caldwell—All streams in this county are '
falling rapidly, but it is impossible to- get ,
full reports; damage to crops in th-e low-
lands is almost incalculable. Many.hogs

Only 24 Inches High, but Develops 40-
Horse Power.
Chicago, Jll., July 4.—The Record says:
Forty-horse, power or about 10 times as
much as tire nest engines develop at pres-
ent with a’’ half-inch feed, will, accord-
ing to the°cl|ims of the inventor, be ex-
tracted from,1 the same quantity of steam
by a motSr1 which will be inspected by
Admiral Melville, chief of the bureau of
steam engineers, United States navy,
some tiine’ tliis month hi this city.
The m: ’”r.s 24 inches high- and occupies
a space aSoul 30 inches square on the
floor. It is practically noiseless and has
no packiri.g/m ‘any of the parts. With
slight variations, it is modeled after a
smaller one, which has been successfully
operated ’by^'feoth steam and liquid air„
and through which the attention "of Lieut.
Salinski, United States navy, retired, was
enlisted. Through him the* bureau of en-
gineering became interested. The machine
is .composed two disks.' one revolving
within the other on a separate axle, in an
opposite direction, and all incased in a
metal box of circular shape. Each disk is
forged into alternate space and partitions.
The spaces are three-sixteenths of an
inch wide and have parallel sides. The
blades or partitions are three-eigths of an

Great Northern partitelaily is. in bad

here that many farm laborers in the Bra-

tain food and other necessaries for the
i balance of the season, owing to the great

the water-courses in consequence.
