THE WATERBURY MURDER CASE.

WATERBURY, May 11.-No reason has yet been assigned for the murder of MoDermott by Patrick FIannigan. All the theories that have been raised this week have been upset. and the mystery concerning 1t grows greater every day. The theory that Flannigan is insane Is believed only by g few, as to all ap- pearances he Is said to act as rational as any prisoner in New Haven iail.

Entertainments.

Admiral FOote post, tt. A. h., coula uoI have chosen g stronger attraction for bene- fit at the Hyperion than the company which produces Bronson Towards "Shenandoah" on the first three nights of this week with Wednesday matinee. The advance sales have been large both in this city and the neighboring towns. The play is an admir- able one. The historic rally by Sheridan IS placed within sight and hearing. The suo- ing lay largely in not attempting too showy tableau. The final groups of beaten and broken soldiers, posed with pictorial skill that looked unstudied, and through which the mute impersonator of Sheridan dashes on horseback, is as remarkable for it's dissimtl- arity to ordinary stage spectaoles as 1t IS for it's strong effect upon the spectators. There IS rapt silence until the curtain ia down, and then an outbreak of the heartiest applause imaginable.
 THE BAND CONCERT.
 The concert of the Second regiment band at the Hyperion on May 30 promises to be notable muaical event. Active preparations are being made by the participants to mako the affair one of the finest of the season.

  ter is composed of Thomas Hopton, Henry Parsons, George Spanutius and E. A. Daniels. Frederick G. Guilford will play piccolo solo. Other soloists will be announced later.

NARROW ESCAPE FROM DROWNING.
Special to the Gazette.
AUBREY, TEX. April 26.-The recent
heavy rains have done immense damage
to crops by washing uplands and over
flowing lowlands. There has also been
considerable loss of property along the
streams, bridges washed away and stock
drowned. MIR. J. J. Wheeler and a
young man named Lanford attempted to
cross spring branch with a wagon and
team about two miles east of here yester-
day, but the water proved deeper than
they expected and they were
washed down the stream quite
distance, and young Lam
ford, especially, was in imminent
peril of his life, being unable to swim,
but CHANGED to catch to some vines and
supported himself until help arrived.
Part of the wagon was lost entirely and
the team narrowly escaped becoming
entangled and drowned in a drift. Elm
creek is higher than it was ever known
before-it is over a mile wide and
has done immense damage to the rail-
road, having overlooked and washed
away the track and almost entirely de-
stroyed the dump for about one mile.
No trains have been through since yes
teTdav. The water is now falling and
a large force is at work replacing and
bracIng up the track tonight as fast the
water recedes, and it is thought trains
can probably pass some time tomorrow.
THE BRAzos AT GRANBURY.
Special to the Gazette.
GRANBURY, TEX, April 26.-10 P. NJ.
The Brazos has risen eight feet during
the last twenty four hours, and is still
rising slowly. 1t has reached q point
within four feet Of the great rise of 1875,
and six feet over the rise of 1885. All of
the lower valley farms are from one to
four feet under water, and great damage
is being done. Some uneasness Is felt
for the fine iron bridge at this place
The water is now within eight feet of the
main iron spans. The railroad bridge is
considered safe yet, though an additional
rise of four or five feet is expected By
morning.
RAIN, HAIL AND WIND.
Special to the Gazette.
SAN ANTONIO, TEX, April 26.-Re-
ports are just beginning to reach here of
a violent rain and hail storm, accom-
panied by vigorous wind, which swept
over the country west and southwest on
the night Of the 25th inst. In many
places hail stones actually as large as

remarkable. The wind and sunshine of
to-day haye dried up the streets Of the
city, which, since the late improvements
on them, are mud proof.
SITUATION IMPROVED AT GAINESVILLE.
Special to the Gazette.
GAINESVILLE, TEX, April 26.-The
rain ceased last night and the sun has
been shining brightly all day. Elm and
Pecan creeks are confined within their
banks, and all fear of further danger Is
passed. Red river is still booming, and
in some places is running over the banks
into the bottoms. The river was higher
than it has been since 1875. The damage
throughout the county was very consid-
cradle Many fine farms are badly
washed, roads badly damaged, culverts
and bridges carried away and fences torn
up badly. Many farms in the low lands
are in q great measure ruined. No trains
are yet running south of here on the
Santa Fe, and it will take hard work to
make such repairs as are necessary TO
start trains south by Tomorrow. The
way is open north on the
Santa Fe and passenger train
went out at O'Clock this afternoon.
A passenger train is expected some time
tonight from Denison on the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas. The road is not re-
paired west of here and trains will hardly
run 10 Henrietta before Monday. A
number of strangers from all parts of
the country have been stopping over
here to-day being delayed by the wash
outs. The bad weather is seemingly
over and everybody rejoices.

WHITEwRIGHT, TEX. April 26.-Last
night was the heaviest rain OF the season
here. 1t fell in torrents, washed away
many bridges and fences, and roads are

crops ruined. THE GAZETTE was in de-
mand this morning . But, unfortunately,
1t failed to come, on account of bridges
being washed away between Fort Worth
and Sherman.
We have had no train for two days on
the Cotton Belt. on account of washouts
between here and Sherman.
AT PARIS.
Special to the Gazette.
PARIS, TEX, April 26.-Trains were
all little late to-day on account of the
Hoods. A rumor reached here this morn
ing that the Frisco bridge on Red river

The river is very high but the bridge is
in no danger and trains are running reg
ularly.

KAUFMAN, TEX, April 24.-It has
been raining here for the greater part OF

SHERMAN, Tex, April 26.-The rain
has subsidized, but many bridges are in

THE COLORADO IN BANKS.
Special to the Gazette.
COLUMBUS, TEX, April 26.-The old
Colorado that has been raging for the
past three days has fallen, and Is now
again within its banks. Farmers in the

Considerable damage was done by the

of last year.
RED RIVER AT NEW BOSTON.
Special to the Gazette.
NEW BosToN, TEX, April 26.-Red
river is out in low places. We look for

q considerable extent Sheep and calves

to the agricultural interest is quite
heavy.
TRAIN LAID UP AT CLIFTON.
Special to the Gazette.
CLIFTON, TEX, April 26.-The rain
fall in this section during the last two
| weeks has been abundant, averaging,
during the past week, one heavy rain
each day. Many crops are almost sub
merged. Farming is behind and farmers
impatient. At O'Clock last
night the Bosque river was out
of its banks, many houses sur
rounded and property threatened.
The north-bound passenger which was
due here at 6:53 yesterday evening has
not arrived yet, owing to a washout be-
tween this place and Valley Mills. The
south bound passenger which was due
here at 10 a. m. yesterday is held here
yet for the same reason.
1t is now 'clock. The water of the
Bosque has receded within banks, and
the weather this morning Is more clear
and favorable. But for the over supply
of rain crops of all kinds are in fine con-
dition.
ABuENE's FIRST TRAIN SINCE wEDNEs-
DAY.
Special to the Gazette.
ABILENE. TEX, April 90. Abilene
had her first train since Wednesday last
to-day noon, the same being q Local
tram from the west, as far as Big
Springs. It is possible we may get mail
from the east by transfer at Baird on
Monday, but not before. The Brazos IS
reported this evening as being four feet
higher than was ever known before, and
is still rising. Fifteen bridges are out
east of Baird, and it will necessarily be
some time before we have a through
train. To-day has been beautiful day
and it is hoped that the rain has ceased.
All the small streams near here are now
in their banks and are falling rapidly.
Great was the disappointment when the
train rolled in this evening and it was
found that no >GAZETTEs were on board.
HIGH WATER At DENTON.
Special to the Gazette.
DENTON, TEX, April 26.-The waters
in the Elm fork of the Trinity have dis
tanced any former record made here in
the memory of the oldest citizens. The
dump of the Texas and Pacific railroad,
on the north side of the river, is re-
ported washed away for several hundred
feet, the track being completely turned
over. The approaches to the
main bridge are also damaged.
It will be several days before the damage
scan be repaired so trains can pass. The
Smaller streams were not so high but
were very full for nearly two DAYS and
1nights, forming when they all reached

porting to be from The Police Gazette sus-
