MORE FLOOD.
This Time the West Fork Becomes Ambi tious
Rapidly Rising-The Outlook
for Overflow

Up till noon yesterday everything
looked lovely in the neIghborhood of the
Trinity river at Fort Worth, although
alarming reports were current of the
condition Of things at Dallas; but the
volume of water was subsiding at this
point, and it was expected there would
be no more trouble from that source
But about II o'clock in the morning
the West Fork which up to that time had
been very modest, began to clamor for
more room, and a perceptible rise was
observed all the day and night.
At midnight last night she
had gone up three and half feet, and
only lacked eight inches of being over its
banks. If it keeps up It's rate of ad-
vance it would be flooding North Fort
Worth by o'clock. 1t is not thought
the West Fork will bring any serious
Hood as no big rise from its head has
been reported, and the increase of its
volume so far has been steady and slow.
At 2:30 q telephone message says the
river is leaving its banks.

1T WAS TOUGH.
The Fort Worth Bail Players Take q
Soup Bath.
The Austin's Gave Them Grand Shut Out Yes
terday-But They Died Hard-A First
Class ExhibitiOn-The Score.

The defeat administered to the Fort
Worth ball team by the Austins yester-
day was not so bad as it looks.
In every respect the home team did as
good work as the visitors, but lucky
punching of hits in the second inning
gave the AuStius the two runs with
which they won the game: 2 to is the
way the score stood at the end Of the
ninth inning
The day was rather chilly. In fact, it
Is noticeable that not a game IN Fort
Worth this year has been played under
favorable weather conditions. But not
withstGDding the raw atmosphere LOT
less than 1900 people witnessed the game
yesterday, and mOurned the misfortune
by which the Painters lost the day.
Smith for Fort Worth and COnOyeT for
Austin did the pitching. They were
evenly matched. Six hits were made of
each; each had five strikes out, and each
gave two bases on balls.
The fielding by both teams was excel
lent, as the small error list shows. Sew
eral times Fort Worth had a couple Of
men on bases ready TO come home on the
slightest hunt OF the ball, but
the opportunity never came.
The hits we're too much scattered through
the innings. Austin won in the second
inning on hit by COnOveT, when two
men were on bases. They never got a
man 10 third after that
Altogether it was the most interesting
game that has been played IN Fort Worth
this season.
Following is the score:

WASHINGTON, April 27.-The signal
Office furnishes the following report from

The heaviest hail storm on record at this
station passed over from northwest
to southeast between $40 and and p. m
to-day. Many thousands of windows in
the city were broken, the damage being
oOnfnsd mainly to western exposure.
Many runaways were reported. Some
horses and carriages were abandoned on
the streets, the owners leaving them to
seek shelter. 1t is probable that
q number of people were in
jured, as the stones were very
large, some measuring two inches in
diameter and weighing more than four
ounces each. The extent of the damages
has not yet been ascertained, but it must
have been very great.

BOSTON'S BARS.
An Order to be Enforced for Their
Removal.

An Order to be Enforced for Their
Removal.
Special to the Gazette.
Boston, MASS, April THE board
of police of Boston stirred up the liquor
dealers to-day by ordering the removal
of all public bars, and gave them twenty
days in which to comply with the order.
This order affects all the big hotels as
well as ordinary groceries, and already
there is music in the air. Refusal to
comply with the order will result in a
forfeiture of the license. The law which
the board of police is now en-
forcing has been on the statute book
several years, but it has always been a
dead letter. No effort has ever been
made to enforce it. The Prohibitionists
have been pulling a few wires this win
ter, and have made so much talk about
the non enforcement of the law that the
board of police have determined to put
the law to q test. The liquor interests,
alarmed at the agitation Of this question,
introduced an order in the legislature
relative to legallZiug sales over bar,
but the committee on liquor reported adj
Yersely upon it, and the report was sus-
tanned in both branches after hard fight.
That victory for the ProhibltiOnists
showed that public sentiment, as rep
resented by the legislators, was opposed
to bars. So the coming year will witness
the transportation of Boston s rum shops
into IDEAL gardens. The enforcement of
the law will entail a heavy loss upon
such hotels as Young's, Parker's, the
Adams house, the Brunswick, Vendome,
Victoria, Thorndike, fremont, Quincy
and Revere, where the bars have been
fitted up at great expense.

made herself exceedingly prominent by
the punishment which she inflicted upon

seriously upon her character. Shortly
after noon, accompanied by her
brother, she accosted Bushey
on South Ninth street and
demanded a retraction of what he said.
He refused, and thereupon she drew
rawhide and while her brother held
Bushey she showeTed blow after blow

for mercy and piled the lash vigorously.
Her brother took Bushey's coat from his
