Owing to the heavy downpour of rain
yesterday morning the Trinity river
showed some signs of going on a rampage
and last evening had reached a point
TWENTY-FIVE feet above low water
mark and within six feet from the pump
house, but it began rapidly to go dora
then, and had nearly reached it's nohlhal>
status at midnight. Travellers from Dali
las last night stated that the Trinity was
getting in its work as usual on that de-
voted burg.
The body of water in the reservoir near
the depot broke loose yesterday morning
on the eastern side and a deluge of
water poured down to Front street
where it spread out. But little damage
was done save flooding the yards and en-
tering d few houses. The bank near the
excavation on Boaz street, softened
by the rain, was unable to stand the in
creased pressure and gave way under the
overflow. The breach is about six yards
wide. If chute had been constructed
to carry away the waste water it is I'M
probable that the levee would have given
away.
