The Rains and the Roads.

Mr.. Jacob Wulff with A. B. Frank
and Co., returned this morning at
o'clock from trip westward. He re-
ports the rain out west of here on
Tuesday night as the severest ever
experienced in West Texas. He was
about go miles west of here and thir-
ty-five miles north of the road. The
rain came down in torrents and the
country was sea of water. The
driving wind with the rain seemed to
carry every thing before it and it
washed out all that came in it's way
The rain has so interfered with the
railroad track of the Southern Pacific
that the incoming trains had to be,
abandoned at Eagle Pass yesterday
freight. The whole country between
Uvalde and Spofford is vast sheet of
water and there is no knowing what
damage may be done.
superintendent Yoakum of the
Arkansas Pass reports less trouble to
their road from high water than to
any entering line. With the eXcep-
ton of the bridge on the northwest
division and the small bridge washed
out between Wallace and Eagle Lake
there has been no damage done be-
You'd that naturally incident to heavy
rains and a wet track. The danger,
however, is not so great at this season
of the year as in winter as the track
dries much more readily now.
Mr.. Yoakum says that the Rock
port festivities have drawn large
crowds to the little sea side resort and
that the hotels are reported we'll
filled.
Crops are beginning to feel the con-
tinued wet weather very sensibly and
fruits, vegetables and cotton will only
be saved by dry weather.

SISTERS OF PYTHAIS.

Many Guests.


Many Guests.
The Pythias SisteIhood with their
Knights and other guests in large
numbers, enjoyed the rare moonlit
evening of yesterday at the residence
of Col. and Mrs. w. S. Hadley, on
Adams street. The lawn was deco
rated with Chinese lights and the
house was also illuminated. Every
thing for the comfort of the guests
was provided, including lemonade,
beer and plenty of cake and sand
witches. A band of music lent a
charm to the evening and gave many
of the younger guests an excuse for
dancing of which they awaited them
selves. A trio, consisting of Mes
srs. Dean, Ashford and Baldwin, rem
dered several songs, and were loudly
applauded. Their melody swelled
upon the evening air like lutte
played on broad river by lover to
his bride, keeping in rythm to the
waves as they danced merrily by the
boat. Like the fOg-horn OF an old
steamboat on the same river. sound
ing its alarm for the lovelorn swain
to "steer away" came the song of
Col. Hadley, following, and like the
player of the lutte, pulling away from
danger for dear life, did Capt. Boggs'
frightened horse pull from the fence,
when he heard the song. He pulled
so hard he to ok part of the fence with
him, backed a few steps out of dan
ger, and stood trembling until the
noise had ceased. Col. Hadley was
compelled, out of prudence, to forego
any more songs during the evening,
and confined his talents to simply
calling off quadrilles.

Times Promised.
BEEvILLE, TEX, July 10th, 1889.
A couple of Englishmen own about
twelve thousand acres of rich sandy
loan land below this city. 1t Is
now reported that they will colonize
the land with home tenant farmers.
Paid agents will make the lordly col
lectiOns when crops are taken in and
forward the money to be spent in
swell living abroad. The public wish
is for the country to be farmed, but
public opinion is decidedly against
the introduction of the ways of the
old world. The free Texas system is
what is wanted.
A colony of we'll to do Williamson
county farmers will buy land and To-
cate in Bee county in the fall. A
committee which came down to look
over the field has returned well pleas
ed with the outlook and will report
strongly in favor of the move. The
intention is to sell their high priced
lands at home and invest the entire
proceeds in Southwest Texas sales.
The sight of fields which will pro-
duce 80 bushels of corn to the acre
did the work.
The people of this city seem strong
ly in favor of having q grand
barbecue and auction sale of lots
later in the season when the crops
are fixed aud the new railroad is COM
pleted. There will be an abundance
of fat beef and other products of our
rich soil on hand to entertain all who
will favor the Humming City with a
visit.
Among the new enterprises located
in the city is lumber yard. A heavy
East Texas firm has bought block of
ground for the purpose. This will
make the second lumbe yard to open.
Four new business houses, two new
barber shops. shooting gallery and
a new blacksmith shop have also
opened or are preparing to open.

1t 10 Likely to be Given Up to the Sheep
Men.
A cattle dealer who arrived yester-
day morning from little Salmon River,
near Salmon Falls, says that the range
from Silver City, Owyhee, to Hum
boldt Wells, New. is being depopu-
lated. Over $4,000 sheep have been
driven there recently, who have eaten
the grass aud rendered the range IN.
tenable for cattle. The owners Of
the latter are therefore looking for
new pastures. Over $4,000 head
have already been driven to Montana
this spring, and snore are going. But
as it will be impossible to subsist SO
much stock there, in addition to that
already there, the consequence will
be that much of it will be taken
across the boundary line into the
Northwest Territories. The Owyhee
range, our informant says, will have
to be left to the sheep men.

One Of the Sidewalks OF the Gentle.
mems Plunge Gives Away.
The water in the gentlemen's new
plunge bath at the HALEY Hot Springs
broke through one Of the side walls,
last night. into the bowling alley,
whose floor is about two feet lower
than that of the plunge, flooding 1t
and otherwise damaging it. The
force of the water was SO great that
boulders weighing half-a-ton were
loosened from the wall and thrown
into the bowling alley.
The plunge was 30xe0 feet in
length, and contained FIVE feet OF
water. As no one was around at the
time it is impossible to state how the
accident occurred. 1t is supposed,
however, that in the hurry OF CON-
pletion the masonry was not suffered
to dry before the water was turned
into the plunge; that small hole
was worn through-possibly through
a defective psrt-which was gradual
ly or suddenly enlarged, letting GU,
the water, and washing a fve.foot
section OF the wall away.
The wall will be repaired at once,
and probably made stronger than
before.
