New York, July 31.—President
Yoakum, of the St. Louis and

firmed to his intimate friends,
says the Herald, the purchase
by his line of the Chicago and
Eastern Illinois.
Nothing bearing an official
stamp, however, has been said
as to the reasons for the acqui-
sition of the property. The two
roads do not ,o»nnect at any
point, and, according to practi-
cal railroad men, several hun-
dred miles of construction work
will have to be carried out be-
fore the big southwestern sys-
tem will be able to reap the ad-
vantages which the Chicago and
Eastern Illinois road can supply
in the way of an entrance into
Chicago.

Dallas, Texas, July 31.—The
only rays of hope which pene-
trated the gloom of the food
situation last night were the
weather reports which predict-
ed fair skies, and the fact that
the Brazos river at Waco was
falling again. Railroads are
tied up worse tha® ever before
in the history of the state, and
in many, places such heavy rains
were never before experienced.
The only railroad which has so!
far estimated its damage is the.
Internatkm & Great Northern.
General Passenger Agent Price
of that road says the actural
damage to the International
roadbed will reach $100,•000, and
that road is not the worst suf-
ferer, .Six lives lost was the
total reported yesterday—five
i«a the San Marcos valley and
one at Wylie.
An accurate estimate of the
losses is impossible, but with
the damage to railroads, the
drowning of live stock, the
washing away of bridges, resi-
dences and business tyouses in
addition to the damage to cot-
ton and other crops, it is safe to
say that a million dollars will
be a conservative amount.
There was no rain in Dallas
j yesterday, and the Trinity river
is doing no material damage
here.
No news has come from the
400 to 500 wood choppers who
were cut off by the flood in Rich-
land creek bottoms, but it is not
now thought that any were
drowned.
The Brazos river, ’after inun-
dating rich farming lands for
200 miles south of Waco, is re-
ported falling steadily at Waco
and rising slowly below Hearne.
It is estimated that -there are
from 3000 to 4000 acres of culti-
vated land under water near
Hearne alone.
A rough estimate of the num
her of acres of cotton and other
crops practically ruined in the
Brazos bottoms is 20,000.
The cane plantation of the
State penitentiary on whi<;h
4000 acres of cane is growing is
in danger from the overflow.
The crop is valued at several
hundred thousand dollars.
The names of those drowned
in San Marcos Valley are not
known, but two were negroes.
At Wvlie, Charles Davis at-
tempted to save his wife and
baby from the flood. The baby
was lost.
The railroad situation is de-
plorable. There are washouts
on the Texas Pacific both east
and west of Dallas, north of
Dallas on the Missouri, Kansas
and Texas and on the San An-
tonio division of the road and
the International and Great
Northern. The San Antonio
and Aransas Pass road is tied
up between Gurley and Lott,
about thirty miles south of Waco
and the Texas Central between
Whitney and Dublin.
A work train plunged through
a bridge near Royse on the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas
yesterday and the engineer,
fireman and brakeman went
down with the engine, all sus-
taining injuries.

l^ew York, July 31.—That fa-
mous Bowling Green landmark,
the old Stevens house, probably
will be demolished in the near
fnture to. make way for a $9,000,-
000 office building planned to be
the largest in the world.
Plans have been prepared and
Anal negotiations are now being
completed by William H. Mairs,
who owns the Stevens house
property. He will erect a twen-
ty-story structure on a plot
which contains over an acre of
land. It face% the great Stand-
ard Oil Building. The Mairs
site is valued at $200 a square
foot for the Broadway, half, of
$3,500,000. The Greenwich half
of the block will make the en-
tire site for the new structure
worth $4,500,000.
The constructional outlay will
be $4,500,000.
The Greenwich street half of
the plot adjoining the Mairs’
lolding contains an equal square
oot area. This is owned by the
Manhattan railway company
which is said to have practi
cally ageeed to sell for a little
under $1,000,000 under certain
conditions which, it is under-
stood, will be met. The top
loor of the new structure wifi
be leased to a fashionable cater-
er. He will introduce an inno
vation for dowtown office build
mgs in the form of private
apartments. The rooms will.oc-
cupy the entire nineteenth floor,
and possibly the eighteenth.
