Hundreds of Miles of Country West of
San Antonio under WRter---LOss of
Lire---VVhOIe villages Swept Away.
The country beginning at a point so
miles west of San Antonio, Texas, for a
distance of 100 miles east and west and 800
miles north and south, is covered with
water to a depth of two to 10 feet. The
deuge came suddenly during Friday night,
and it is said that it was not from the
clouds, as first supposed, but from out
of the ground, and that its bursting forth
was caused by an earthquake which rent
the earth in several places. The Leona
river, which is now a raging torrent, has
been dry stream 10 months in the year,
but it has been known that underneath it
was a subterranean basin of water, as
flowing artesian wells have been obtained
by boring a few hundred feet. Twelve
persons are known to have been drowned
at Uvalde, town of 2500 inhabitants, in
which one half of the buildings were swept
away, and many other fatalities are feared.
The town of Dhanis, so miles west of
San Antonio, is submerged to a depth of
several feet. On the Southern Pacific
railroad 40 miles of track, four large bridges
and several smaller ones were washed
away, and the loss to the company is esti-
mated at 81 100000. The current of water
from the Sabnal, the Leona and Saco
rivers is now being emptied into the Rio
Grande. The Rio Grande is out of its
banks and is flooding the country between
Eagle Pass and Rio Grande city. The
loss to crops alone is estimated as high as
$4,000 Hundreds of head of cattle and
horses have been drowned. No news has
been received from several places in the
submerged district
Four masked men raided the Bank of
Tescott, IA miles north of Salina, Kansas,
Saturday, forced the cashier to give up
$1,000, wounded a lad and fed.

years He was twice a member of the
United States Senate and was secretary of

persons on leaving the train rushed off
toward a marsh and others ran further

a number of those were lost. The train

Devastation Between Chippewa Falls
and Superior, wis.
Forest fires have completely devastated
the country between Chippewa Falls and
Superior, a distance of 40 miles. Tele-
graph wires are down and the railroad
tracks destroyed. From meagre reports re-

in that district cannot be less than 100

Our Future Wool Market.

From Justice, Bateman & Co s Circular
The question that will determine the flu
ture of the American wool market during
the coming ~ months is the amount of
wool that will be consumed by the Ameri-
can people. The average annual consump-
ton during the past four years has been
about BOD, 900, 600 pounds. viii the nation
absorb more or less than this quantity dur
ing the coming II months? the reduced
supply of wooden goods is shown 10y the
decreased consumption of wool in the year
1894, to replenish which the nation will
surely consume more than it used in the
latter year. But the most sanguiue do not
look for the consumption of wool to equal
that of 1893 (6l9,000,000 pounds), the
largest on record, because of the decreased
purchasing power of the nation which has
been lessened in so many ways, amounting
to hundreds Of millions of dollars. 1t can
not be expected that the nation can at once
purchase the maximum amount of Noolen
goods heretofore consumed. The low price
of wheat and the decrease i'm the corn crop
| involve loss as compared with the aver
age of the last few years of over 5000, 000.-
600 to the farming community. The new
tariff bill reduces the value of the wool
| clip S4O,OOO,OO0, to say nothing of de-
creased values of other crops from the
same cause, which has also decreased the
purchasing power of a large army of fac
tory operatives.

Three Separate Fires.

The great fires in the three states were
not connected The one in Minnesota
which destroyed Hinckley and Sandstone
long and nearly as wide. Two somewhat
smaller sections in the northern part of
Wisconsin, bordering on Lake Superior,
were burned over. One was near Ashland
and the other farther east. The fires in
Michigan began near the straits of Macki-
nav and swept through to Saginaw Bay, a
distance of 175 miles. The latter strip was
not over 20 miles wide.
The physicians sent into the burned dis
tricts find that few people are suffering
from wounds. People either escaped unin-
jured or were burned to death.
Rains fell in the burned districts Monday,
checking but not entirely eXtinguishing
the fires. In Northern Michigan and Wis
consin hundreds of millions of feet of white
pine and hemlock timber have been
scorched.
Nearly 300 bodies have been found in
the vicinity of Hinckley. Every person in
the town who sought shelter in the gravel
pit was saved. The pit is large enough to
hold all the people of the town. 1t is
several acres in extent and contains pond.
Had the people sought shelter here all
would have been saved.
The dispatches printed in Thursday S
papers say that fresh fires are springing up
around the burned territory and calls for
help are frequent, but the worst is doubt
less over. The death list steadily increases
by the discovery of the bodies of victims.
