RIVER IN A FURY.

A Texas Stream Overflows and Causes Great Ruin.

FLOOD DESCENDS ON UVALDE, TEX.

Fears That Hundreds Have Been Drowned —rroperty Valued at •1,500,000 Destroyed—An Earthquake Adda

Its Terrors.

SWEPT BY A TORKENT.

UVAI.DK. Tex., Sept. 1.—A terrible catastrophe befell this thriving' town Thursday night and there Is mourning in many households. The calamity was entirely unexpected. The treaoherous Leona river, swollen to a raging torrent by recent rains, rushed down upon the town, submerging and wrecking many houses and drowning a number of people. In this arid section such destructiveness by the elements has never before been chronloled. In the excitement of the day It Is not definitely known how many have been drowned. It is feared that 200 or 800 people may have been drowned in the lowlands south of Uvalde.

The lcal.

Among those known to have perished are the following: Mrs. Joe Hatch, Miss Mattie Edwards, child of Mr. Maley, two Mexicans. News reaches here that three families living below town were drowned. The names have not yet been learned.

Great apprehension is felt for the families living ou the ditch south of here, where from seventy five to 100 families live, and the land lying IB feet lower than here it is feared they have been destroyed. One Mexican family living on the ranch of L. Schwartz, 5 miles below town, is supposed to have been lost, no vestige of the ranch buildings being' left.

Flood Came When All Were Asleep. It was ab mt 2 o'oloek in the morning when the flood vaine. The weather had been tin eatening and there were ominous clouds to the north and east of town. The atmosphere had been close during the evening and predictions of a storm were freely made. As the hours wore on the dark clouds roBe li'ghcr and higher. Just the storm broke over the city In all its fury a torrent of water rushed down the Leona river, overflowing the banks of that stream and flooding the low lands on either side to a depth of several feet. The east side of the city is built on low land and was directly in the path of this water. All the houses in the heart of the town were submerged and in the darkness throughout the downpour of rain could be heard the cries of distress from the ill-fated inhabitants in their wild efforts to save their lives.

There were a number of mlraoulous escapes, and the rescuers and the rescued performed many heroic acts. As soon as those in the higher part of town were made aware of the terrible flood and dire consequenoes the work of rescuing was begun and carried out as rapidly as possible in the darkness. •Made Worse by an Karthquake.

An earthquake shock of some seconds' duration was distinctly felt during the night. At one place near the city about a-quarter of a mile of huge cracks appear on each side of the Leona river, having apparently no bottom. According to reports received at the Southern Pacific offices the terrible flood was augmented by a most remarkable phenomenon which was caused by the earthquake.

A track-walker of the Southern Pacific wading through water up to his neck with his lantern elevated above his head, succeeded in feeling hi_s way far enough east to intercept iC westbound train and prevent its plunging into the racing river ivhere the railroad bridge had been destroyed.

L.lgl Will It each ai,500,OOO. The loss to thc Southern Pacific company is enormous, 40 miles of track an many bridges having been washed away. Over 100 oar loads of maUri :1 a^d ft 0 laborers left San Antonio for the scene of the wreck Friday evening. The damage to the Southern Pacific extends eastward about 76 miles from this city. A rough estimate of the loss to property In general and the railroad company will, as far as known, rer.oh $1,BOO.000.

Heavy Ilnlns Kxtend Into Mexico. Sr. LOUIS, Sept. 1.—Dispatches from southwestern Texas report very heavy ra lis in that section and heavy damage done to railroads and other property. Three bridges on the Southern Pacific road over the Sago river were swept away and several washouts oocurred. The Rio Grande is higher than for five years. The storm extended into Mexico and several miles of track of tho Mexican International and the Monterey & Mexican Gulf railroad are washed out. The cities are badly flco ied and three children drowned. It will require several days to repair the c'a a^e to railroads.

Drowned In an Ohio Luke.

AKRON, O., Sept. 1.—I). E. Conant, Instructor in the gymnasium in the Chicago' university, waS drowned Friday afternoon in Silver lake. He was bathing with Miss Cynthia Vlall, of this oity, to whom he was engaged to be married, and exclaimed he was tired. A woman in a boat offered him a sist-.mce, but he said he did not need it. A few seconds later ho sank. His body wsi found at 4:30. The bursting of a b'oo 1 vessel superinducing heart failure is thou ,ht to have caused the accident.

Enurtnouii Fruit Shipment.

CIIEYKNNK, Wyo., Sept 1.—The enormous fruit business handled by the Union Pacific this year is without parallel in the history of tho traffic. Shipments over the Wyomiug division now average nine or ten trains each day and .the officials think the rush will continue at least a month. One hundred and sixty-seven special trains of California green fruit have already been shipped over the line to the eastern markets. Few shipments were made until the 15th of July, after the strike was declared off.

WAITE IS NOT UUILTY.

Denver rollee Official*, However, Held for Withholding (b, Ll^[«tu Letter. RENVEH, Ool., Sept. 1.—United State* Commissioner Hinsdale heard testimony for the defense In the case of Gov. Waite, President Nullins, of the fire and polloe board Chief ol Police Armstrong and Polioe Matron Dwyer, charged with conspiring to withhold a letter from ex-Matron Likens.

The proseoution arraigned the accused severely, charging that Mrs. Kate Dwyer and President Mullins were the leading oonspirators, but that Chief of Polioe Armstrong and Gov. Waite, in allowing themselves to be used In carrying out the plot, were equally guilty, whether they acted innocently or not.

GOT. Waite declared that he had never had anything to do In the matter whatever, and was greatly surprised when he learned that he had been charged with an unlawful aot. "The letter was handed to me to read," he said, "and I had to take It In my hands to do so. I Immediately returned It to the person who handed it to me and this is my entire and only conneotion with it. It might have been a forgery for all I know, and it did not attract my attention to any extent, as I considered it of little importance. 1 did not think It wise to remove Mrs. Likens and opposed it in every way."

After the arguments Commissioner Hinsdale summed up the case, said he could not see that the probable guilt of the accused had been established, and discharged the governor. The other defendants, Mrs. Dwyer and Messrs. Mullins and Armstrong, were held to the grand jury in bonds of 8500.

RATE WAR IS HOT.

Rate Trip Ticket* from Indianapolis to Chicago for Seventy-Five Cents. I INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Sept. 1.—The rate war between this point and Chicago broke all records Friday by the price going to seventy-five cents for round trip, good for five days from Saturday.

Threats are made that tho fight will not end here. The Lake Erie & Western has faithful allies in the Nickel Plate and the Chicago fc Alton, and it would not surprise railroad men to see a slashing of rates to eastern and western points, and a fight on rates to Florida is not beyond the possibilities.

SAN 'FHASCIBCO, Sept. 1.—The bark Harvester, which has arrived from Karluk, brought the latest news of the Alaska salmon run, and, considering the lateness of the season this year, the returns are very good for the combine.

THE RECORD BROKEN AT FORT WAYNE.

Hamlin'* Gallant racer, Driven l,y Kil Geera, Makes the Remarkable Time of 9T03 8-4—Fantany AIKU

Lowers a Record.

ROBERT J.'S FA8T MILK.

FOHT WAVNK, Ind., Sept. 1.-Robert J., the handsome bay gelding owned by C. J. Hamlin, of Buffalo, N. Y,, Friday afternoon traveled the fastest mile ever credited to a harness horse, going it in 2:08%. He was on the programme to beat 2:00, the track record made by Joe Patchen Thursday. It was not even intimated to the 5,000 persons present that the great gelding would attempt to beat the records of •2:04 made by Masoot and Flying Jib at Terre Haute.

The track was in good shape except that on the back stretch it was a little rough and under the conditions the time made by Robert J. is the more wonderful. It was 4:80 when Ed Goers, tho "silent man from Tennessee,1' drove on the track ready for the effort. The association had selected S. A. Brown, of Kalamazoo, Mioh. A. L. Thomas, of Joliet, 111., and T. C. Steele, of Petersburg, Tenn., as timers, and these gentlemen were In the timers' stand when the mile was paced.

Excited the Horsemen.

On the second soore Ed Oeers nodded for the word and Starter Frank Walker sent the gelding away, moving like a machine, with the runner about ten lengths back. The first quarter was reached in 80Jf seconds, and the horsemen who had their watches on .the great paeer felt that something wonderful was to be expected. On the back-stretch Robert J. kept up his rapid gait und reached the half in 1:01}^. This was a 2:08 gait, and horsemen were excited. When the third quarter was passed in 1:88% there was slight hope that 2:04 would be equaled. To beat the record Robert J. must travel the last quarter in 80 seconds. Few thought he oould do it

No trainer horso ever lived, however, and down the stretch he caine at a lightning clip without a skip or a wobble. At the distance flag Geers began to lift the gelding along at every stride. The runner was at his wheel, and as he began to move up faster and faster went Robert .1. and passed under the wire in :80.

Cheers for the Gallant l'acer. As the watches clicked the horsemen looked at each other and presently began to cheer. The large audience knew something wonderful had been accomplished and hats, handkerchiefs and parasols went into the air. The word was whispered about that the time was 2:08?^ and that the Fort Wayne track had the harness record. When Geera drove up to the judges' stand to dismount he was given a perfect ovation and doffed his cap in recognition.

Presently Starter Walker announced the mile by quarters as follows:

:S0%,

1:01H, l:889i, 2:08$i, and there was tremendous cheer. Hamlin and Ed Geers were congratulated from every side, and the crowd gave throe olieers for the horse, the owner, the driver and the track. The wonderful mile is the sole theme of conversation among the horsemen In attendance upon the races, and the opinion among thein is general that the mile will not be equaled this year.

Fantasy's Great Work.

Fantasy, Hamlin's sensational filly, started to beat her record of 2:07 made at Rochester. She succeeded in her effort, and Geers drove her an evenly-rated mile as follows: :82{, l:08i, 1:35}^, 2:07. This Is the record for 4-year-old marcs, and was made so easily that horsemen assert that the great 4-year-old is the peer of Alix acd Nancy Hanks.

During the first heat of the 2:20 pace H. C. Sanders' Anderson Belle, by Bell Boy, dropped dead at the head of the stretch.

lllg Forest Fires !u Ontario. TOIIO.NTO, Out., Sept. 1. Forest fires are raging in various parts of tho province. At Grand Valley many acres of qrops have been burned.

CAINS SLOWLY.

OF COMMERCIAL AGENCIES.

A Brightening Up In General lIu»ln»M Noted In All Sections Situation More Encouraging Because of Slow Development*

LOOKS HOPEFUL. I

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.—R. G. Dun & CO.'B weekly review of trade says: I "Tho aottvlty which oame with exhausted stocks and the pressure of delayed full demands, and which was lucreased by the removttl of uncertainty about the tariff, has continued with heavy entries of foreign goods since the bill becumc a law. The gain 1b not yet what was expected, and business. If good in comparison with last year, la still poor In comparison with years preceding. Presumably there has not been time to feel the full effects of the change, and a gradual gain will be more healthy and encouraging than a spasmodic rise, but the expansion of commercial loans hns suddeuly ceased, prices of manufactured products show weakuess rather than strength, and there has been a reaction in the stock market, prices of railway stocks averaging 82 cents and of trust stock 2.11 per share lower than a week ago. "The price of wheat has risen a shade during the week. Corn advanced BH cents, while pork has risen cents per barrel and lard 56 oents per 100 pounds. Fears of frost, the crop being late, are argued as a reason for quotations otherwise unwarranted. Cotton has deolined an eighth for the week, but the year doses with every Indication of a yield materially exceeding tho world's maximum consumption of American and with 1.600,000 bales of old ootton in sightThe demands for produots of iron and steel has Increased, but prices tend downward where any change appears, as there is not enough business yet to employ the works ID operation.

The Failure Record*

"Failures are still few and small. For the third week of August reported liabilities were 12,976,618, but for three weeks only I6.&U.470, of which 12,845.836 were manufacturing and $8,684,414 of trading concerns. The average Is only I11.&21 per firm falling. The failures this week have been 168 in the United States, against 856 last year, and 40 In Canada, against 29 last year."

Bralstreet*s View.

Brads tree say s: "At all but a few of the cities from wtiloh the special telegrams received favored Influences are shown to have been at work, resulting in Btlll further Improvement In the business situation since the settlement of the tariff question. Tho free wool oiause ol the new tariff resulted lu heavy withdrawals of that staple and renewed activity among manufacturers. Next most conspicuous withdrawals from bond are dry goods, crockery and glassware. At Philadelphia, as at New York, sugar Is advancing on speculative demand, and it Is declared grocers will oarry heavier stocks. The outlook for iron aud steel is not for an early advance in prioos, due to Increasing output. New England woolen mill* are now reporting orders for heavy woolens.

BttuaUou at Many Points.

"Thus far fund* to move crops have not gone west as freely as anticipated. All western oenters covered, except Cincinnati, Cleveland, Detroit and Omahu roportdistlnot gains In the vol* umeof butanes* this week. The relatively favorable condition of trade in the region tributary to the three larger Minnesota cities during August Is based on a better wheat orop than predicted and practical depletion of country storekeepers' stooks. "At Cleveland previous gains in the business Kltuatlon are retained, notably firmness in lake freights and in the demaud for money. Cincinnati manufacturers are quiet and there Is only a moderate demand for groceries and dry goods. Louisville has felt the stimulus more, reporting a healthful gain this week, notably in tea and tobaoco. Detroit's interior trade is lesh active than it would have been except for the drought. Chicago reports gains in the demand in all lines, particularly in dry goods, clothing and shoes, an1 In Iron and steel. St. LOUIM' valume of business continues to increase. "The surprisingly favorable news is received that Kansas City merchants, notwithstanding the effects of the drought, have been having a larger trade and making better collections. At Omaha no material ohauge 1s noted except that country merchants being compelled to buy nearer home helps Omaha jobbers. A large business in staples has been transacted at Milwaukee. At St. Paul and Minneapolis the improved business of the month of August is oontlnued. Activity characterizes trade at San Franolsoo In all linos. Grain vessels are in demand, with wheat and bags lower and freight higher.
