At Gainesville.

GAINESVILLE, April 23.-[Spe cial. j
The rain ceased about dark last light
and in q few hours the waters OF Pecan
and Elm were confined within their
banks. The water in Pecan has re-
ceded sufficiently to permit crossing Ia
vehicles without danger. The reports
of loss of life were greatly exag gerated'
The family of Mr.. McAfee were all
rescued, while several families, after
being imprisoned several hours in tree
tops, were safely brought to land. The
wife and two children of a Mr.. Wilson
were reached by g negro named Buck
Shanks, and taking them in
a boat started to land, when it was
capsized by q swift current, one OF the
children being dro wned. The negro
bravely held to tho mother and the
other child until assistance reached
them. Bob Sparks, another negro, liv-
ing near the scene OF devastation, acted
in heroic manner, placing woman
and her child in y skitf. He started to
shore, when it was upset, and all thrown
in the water. Selling them by the
clothes, he swan to the earest tree and
placed the woman and her children on
limb. He remained with them until
ii was evident the cold rain and many
death of all, when he tied them securely
to the tree with parts OF his clothing and
swan ashore for aid. AL the
country adjacent to She
creeks was completely submerged
and people in great numbers abandoned
their homes and fled to higher ground
for safety. Many tarried too long, their
houses were surrounded with water be-
fore they could escape, and numbers OF
men, Women and children, to save
themselves from watery graves, We're
compelled to climb trees and remain in
the rain in half perished condition I'M
til aid could reach them. So far as
definitely known only one person was
drowned, but 1t is feared many persons
have persisted both above and below
this city. Communication Is only open
for few miles each way, and correct
reports are not yet received. The dam

crops along the course Of the streams Is
greater than was ever before known in
