Terrible Rain storm.

Terrible Rain StOrrn.
The Tr1bune's St. Louis special says
one OF the most violent and dcstruc-
tive storms that ever visited this city
was that of yesterday morning. In
the lower portions of tho city cellars
and easements, and in some instances
first stories of many houses were com
pletely flooded, damaging furniture
and merchandise. In the neighbor-
hood of Twentieth and Salisbury
streets the occupants of houses were
aroused by the rush of water, and in
20 minutes the water was II or IL feet
| deep. The inhabitants were compelled
to run out without putting on their
clothes, in order to save their lives.
several men we're compelled to swim
in order to reach a place of safety. En-
gines and pumps have been all day
pumping water from Easements, cell
lars and lower floors. 1t will be many
days before hundreds of houses in
various parts of the city can be made
habitab,e.
The Situation ON the Texas Border.
A Washington special says a high
official. who has returned from a visit
to the Texas border, reports a very de-
deploraDle condition of things. He says
the outside public has no idea of the
plorable condition of affairs. This side
of the Rio Grande, a wide stretch of
country is inhabited by Mexicans.
They preponderate to a great extent
over the Americans, and thereby have
control of all civil offices. For this
reason it is impossible to secure the
conviction of the Mexican thieves who
cross the borders to plumber Ameri-
cans. Upon the part of the Govern
ment officials there is grave %apprehen-
sion of serious difficulty with Mexico.
Her Government is powerless TO pre-
vent these outrages. COrtina rules in
defiance of the Mexican Government,
and is closely leagued with the Mexi-
cans on this side in their schemes for
plumber. The promised o to SUI
persede Cortina is not believed TO have
been made i'm good faith. Nearly all
the inhabitants upon the border de-
pend on thieving for support. The
Texans are now fully aroused and a
war Of determination is not improba-
