CLOUDBURST ON THE RED RIVER
Lands Submerged, Houses Swept Away
and u Few Lives Lost.

Lands Submerged, Houses Swept A'Say
and Few Lives Lost.
The flood on Upper Red River, in Texas, is
the greatest known since February, 1912. 1t
rained almost continuously all of last week,
and the storm closed with almost cloudburst
That nude every creek and riyulet raging
torrent. The streams pouring their waters
into the river soon caused it TO leave its
banks and spread over the bottom from hill
to hill.
The river is more than two miles wide. Its
murl1cy waters are covered with q mass Of
drift wood, and in its current may be seen the
debris of houses and q large number of
horses and cattle that were caught IN the bot
toms when the freshct suddenly swept down
upon them.
At various points the river is changing its
bed by cutting new channel through some
zine plantations All crops in the path Of the
raging waters are destroyed. When it sub
sides many farmers can rcplant, but some Will
find their lands covered with sand and others
will see instead ofthe promising crops of corn
and cotton great lakes of water.
In addition TO tie destruction to property it
is feared that there has been some loss of life.
Several families living at the mouth OF Pine
Creek have not been heard of since the over
flow, and it is known that party of hunters
from Bonham took refuge in trees Kcscuing
parties arc out in boats, but the undertaking
is Il pcrilous one and may result disastrouaiy.
1t is reported that the bodies of Two men we're
seen floating down the river at Arthur City.
Although the waters have abated TO some
extent another rise is anticipated, as there are
indications of heavy rains at the head of the
Peninsula enterprise. [volume] (Accomac, Va.) 1881-1965, 1890-05-10

RERATING OF PERSONS.
Secretary Noble Presents the Investigate
Ing Committcc's Report.

In response to q resolution of the House
Secretary Noble has transmitted to that body
the evidence and report of the committee ap-
pointed in July last to investigate the action
of the pension bureau in the rc-rating of pen
sions.
In reply to the inquiry as to what cases, if
any, ha' e been illegally and improperly re-
rated, the Secretary says it has not been
found possible to examine all the cases and
determine their respective merits but it is be-
lieved that Il number of them involve q vio-
lation ut once of the proper practice of the
department and Of the law applicable thereto.
The Secretary says that upon full coEsidera-
ton of the matter the conclusion was reached
that under the circumstances relating to the
financial ability and responsibility of a num-
Der Of the beneticiaries. 1t would be imprac-
ticablc to recover by litigation or otherwise
the mOneythat had been actually paid. How
ever, in two cases in which pensions were re-
rated upon manifcstly erroneous construc-
ton of law, the persons were suspended to
abate the overpaymcnt.
The Secretary says il does not conclusively
appear to what extent all the rc-rated en-
pioyes were directly concerned in re-rating
themselves. Certain of them no doubt, OBJ
tutned by personal solicitation, undue adj
vantage or priority III the adjudicaticn,of their
cases by reason Of their respective of1cial po-
sitions, and more favorable action was evil
IDENTIFY secured byssuch MEANS but, he says,
the facts are not demonstrated upon the face

TRADE OF TIE WEEK.
General Improvement in Distributive
Circles East and West.
Wheat Prices Forced Up by Unfavornbl'
Crop Rcpurts-Clothins Trades In
Poor ConditlOn-DrY Goods.


Poor ConditIOn-Dry Goods.
Special kilograms to Brddstreets indicate
much the same condition of affairs in general
distribnlive trade circles as existed week
ago. There is some Improvement in the out
look, and, therefore, in the feeling throughout
the flooded districts in the lower Mississippi
River Valley, though the damage done and
losses sustained there have been enormous
Railroads expect to be able torun trains there
regularly in short time, which stimulates
better feeling at New Orleans.
In the central West, rain and cold have de-
laycd Spring traffic and farm work, but an
early improvement is promised. At most
other business centres demands have been
fairly active. The movement of dry goods,
hardware and boots and shoes is full, and that
of wheat and corn Eastward is very heavy,
and Iowa farmers arc in much better spirits,
now they are getting 22c. per bushcl for In
dian corn. Cattle have advanced i'll price at
Western centres some Zoe. per cwt., while hogs
have declined half as much
Special reports to Brddstrcets from ITO cities
show that OH Afay there were 81 strikes at
d6 cities, involving 1889 employees, most of
which were for fewer hours of work daily.
AT sixty-three cities strikes were expected,
but did not take place. Strikes during April
numbered 100, involving $1,000 men, against
siXty-one strikes and ~ 1913 in April last year.
For the first four months of 1890 the strikes
reported number 337 Involving 6S, Oh employees
against 22 strikes and 1924 employees in
yolvcd in 1852
Bank clr;rings in April showed larger
gain over the like month in the precedingycar
(when clearings declincd) than for any pre-.
yious months since November. The total
clcarings for April ut tifty-two cities agsre-
gated 81, 723 100000 or gain over % year ago
OF 10 per cent, and over March this year OF
! per cent.
There were two more business days in April
Celebration. The gain over March this year
is credited to improved speculation and freer
collections. For the four months bank clear
inss exceeded last year by per cent, which
in turn exceeded 1855 by LII per cent.
Dry goods ut the East are in fair demand
for the season. Request for staple cotton is
good, and prices aided by the recent advance
in raw material, are strong with an upward
tendency. Jobbing distribution is moderate.
Price concessions are feature. Wool is in
fair demand, and this, added TO broken stocks,
tends to strengthen prices. Raw cotton is
Lice higher on lightstocks, good demand and
small crop movements.
Unlavorabe weather, reports of damage to
the crops, backed by rather more encouraging
cable adviccs, pushed wheat prices up three
and four cents this week.
Stocks arc decreasing rapidly, notwithstand-
ing free sales by farmers and movement East
ward. Exports this week, both coasts, count
ing flour as wheat, equal 2,7470lS bushels;
against 500. o3S bushels in the like week last
year and 2,2259, $50 bushels lust week.

SPOTTED FEVER RAVAGES.
A District in Tennessee Said to be Blasted

A District I'm Tennessee Said to be Blasted
by the Disease.
A dispatch from Cincinnati says: Addi-
tional reports of the ravagcs of spotted
fever near Franklin, Tenn. have been re-
ceiyed confirming and augmenting the hor-
rors briefly reported last week. The disease is
unusually fatal, nine out of every ten persons
attacked dying.
The fever had a brief run in Summer and
Webster counties about two months ago, but
disappeared and people were greatly e!ated at
their seeming escape but last week it reap
peared and within forty ight hours of its conf
ing had taken FIVE lives.
Since then dozen more died and thepeople
of the stricken districts have about concluded
to abandon it forever as this is the fifth visi-.
tation of the fever. Farms and all kinds of
stock can be bought for song The origin Of
the disease is not known. It comes without
warning and goes suddenly,
