Effect of the Floods in Texas Great
Distress.


WACO, Tex, June The distress among
the poorer classes along the river for forty
miles is already very great. Their little
gardens and farms have been washed away.
When tho river recedes it will leave a de-
posit of sandy mud over a foot deep, cover
ing hundreds Of thousands of acres of the
finest bottom lands in Texas While the av-
erage loss on all kinds of crops in McLsn-
non and its half dozen neighboring river
counties will probably not exceed Is per
cont, the loss on the wheat crop in this sec
ton will roach over 50 par cent Thsaoss on
live stock will also prove of a serious char
actsr, since entire focks of several hundred
head of sheep each are known to have
been hemmed in and drowned Waco
lies in the center of the mo,t
populous portion of the state-every section
of land within radius of fifty miles of here
is under fence and being cultivated Oh
grassd upon. The loss therefore, to the
farming community is greater than it would
have been in any other section Of this state.
Nothing equal to the recent rains have ever
been experienced. Considering the I'M
menss area covered by the foods the loss OF
human life is remarka bly, small, only eight
drownings having been reported up to Fri
day night 1t is estimated that the total
loss to Texas by this food will not fall short

"A Frightful Leap.

LONDON, June l-Ons of the most ex.
traordinaiy escapes, after shipwreck, was
reported recently at Hull. A keel bound
from Crimsby to Leeds was driven against
sandbank and capsized, and it was sup.
posed that all on boari-the master, his
wife, and three children--had persisted.
The next day about 10 o'clock the captain OF
steam ting was passing the spot where the
accident happened and saw the keel floating
bottom upwards ON the edge of the sand
bank He got up as near to it as he could,
and presently Eeard sounds of knocking from
the cabin end. The crew concluded that some
one was on board, and energetic steps were
taken to get the keel in such position as
to effect a rescue After several hours
labor this was accomplished, and hole hav,
ing been cut through the bottom of the yes.
sel the captains wife, Mrs Snowden, and
one Of her children were rescued
alive after an agonizing suspense OF
nearly seventeen hours. The water had
nearly filed the cabin where the
woman and her three children were sleep
ing; bus there was just space left for her to
keep her head and those Of her little ones
above the water, which ultimately reached
up to the mothers throat When they were
aroused by the sinking of the keel and the
thrush OF the water she contrived to gethold
OF children, who all held on blythe hair other
head, and in that way for some time all of
the little ones ere kept alive, but during
the day two of them died just as the man
who rescued them got into the cabin the
water flowed in, and reached to
the woman's mouth. All the children
were still clinging to her hair, and she
and the live child were in a terribly ex-
hausted condition The mothers hands
we're raw with knocking at the side of the
keel. The survivors were taken on board
the tug and carefully tended. At the mo
ment Of the keel capsizing, what is known
as the horse-line twisted around the captain
and carried him down amongst the rigging,
which appeared to have remained under
water even when the keel was being rolled
over by the force of the tide. The bodies
were placed in keel and taken to Goole.

An Attorneys Disgust.


The Knightstown Home investigating commit
tee held sessions yesterday morning and last
night Quite a number of witnesses from New
Castle and Knightstown We're examined, but the
testimony was generally corroborative of what
has already been made public, Trustee Goar's
character is being assailed by some of the
witnesses, while Superintendent Whites
conduct has been approved by the
greater burden of the testimony Last
night the counsel for Goar, Mr. Byfield,
took exception to aquestion which Mr. Ferguson,
the attorney for White, put to witness, Mrs.
Shipman, and not being sustained by Chairman
Lloyd Indignantly left the room, saying that he
could not do his client justice under the rulings
of the chairman. The probability is that Goar
will have to choose new counsel, as Mr.. Bynum
is now in Washington and Byfeld unwilling to
proceed further with the case.
