THE TEXAS FLooDs-San antonio,
Tea, September 1.-The flood which
visited the country west of this city,
and extending for nearly 200 miles, was
one of the most terrible catastrophes
that has eyer visited the State. Yes
terday more complete reports of the
devastation were brought here, and
enough is known to lead to the belief
that several hundred persons were
drowned. The damage to property is
enormous. Southern Pacific officials
estimate that it will cost about 1890,
600 to rebuild the track and replace
steel bridges. 1t is now said that the
deluge did not come from the clouds,
as was at first supposed, but that il
came out of the ground, and its burst
ing forth was caused by an earthquake
which rent the earth, as under severa
places along the Leona river the cracks
in the earth with the water pouring
therefrom are still seen. The Leona
river is dry stream ten months of the
year, but it is known that q subterra
mean basin and streams of water exis
underneath the dry bed. 1t is sup
posed that this artesian basin of water
is now escaping through the cracks
caused by the earthquake.

COTTON STEAMERS AFLAME.
Seven Vessels Suffer Heavy Loss at
Savannah.

SAVANNAH, Ca, Nov. 5.-Ae $50 this
evening fire was discovered in hold of
the cotton steamer Skidby at the Central
compress wharf The fire was in hold No.
3. in which there was about $500 bales
of cotton. The Skidby had about 10000
bales abroad. She had about concluded
loading and would have cleared tomor-
row. The fire had gained considerable
headway when discovered.
At 6:15 it was discovered that there was
fire in the cotton in the hold of the steam
er Baltimore City at the Gordon press
wharf about a mile away from the scene
Of the fire on the Ski6by. Alongside of
the Baltimore City lay the steamer Castle
Garth, and a few minutes after the dis
covery that the formers cotton was afire
fire was also discovered in the fore peak
Of the Castle Garth, in which compart-
ment there were about 400 bales of cot
ton and the ceamen's clothes. The fire
on the Baltimore City was but small and
was soon put out On the Castle Garth
II was more obstinate and was not eX-
tinguished until the sailors clothes had
been burned and all cotton in the COM
partment more or less damaged.
About an hour after the discovery Of the
fire on the Baltimore City. an alarm Of
loading at Gordon's wharf along with the
Baltimore City and the Castle Garth. This
fire proved to be the most obstinate of
the three at the Gordon wharf and it is
still burning.
The Stag had on a large proportion of
her cargo Some 400 bales have been
taken from her hold and the holds of the
Baltimore City and Castel Garth and put
on lighters. About the same time that the
Stag was reported on fire at Gordons
wharf, fire broke out in the hold OF the
steamer Delgarth at the Central Press
wharf, near the Skidby, where the first
fire occurred, and in few minutes the
steamer Petunia, also at Central Press
wharf. was reported with fire in her COM
partment
The three ships afire at this wharf We're
not over 800 yards apart. The three other
ships afire We're a mile away at the other
edge of the city. The fire on the Petunia
was easily extinguished. The Delgarth's
fire was eXtinguislIed when about three
hundred ba.es had been damaged.
1890 a. m.-Fire has just broken out in
the steamship Armenia at the Central raj
road wharf, making seven Vesse.s now on
the list.
The fire on the Armenia was slight and
was soon eXtinguished.
All the fires are now eXtinguished eX-
cept that ON the Skidby. which is under
complete control. No estimate Of loss Is

IN CALIFORNIA.
Estee and the Rest of the Republican
Ticket Probably Elected.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 6.-Throughout
California the polls were kept open until
) o'clock. Any estimates which might be
made at the close of the voting would be
simply conjecture, for absolutely nothing
is known. However, the general impress
sion is that Estee for governor and nearly
all the republican candidates for state
officers have been elected. An unusually
large vote has been poIled, the weather
having been pleasant throughout the state.
No serious disturbances are reported.
AT Vallejo, where several hundred
United States marines from Mare island
navy yard registered, notwithstanding the
decisions of the courts declaring the regis
tratiOn illegal, trouble was feared big
force of sheriffs was sworn in and the
first two sailors who appeared and swore
in their votes were arrested for felony.
No further attempts were made by the
sailors and marines to vote From other
points a few arrests are reported.
With the close of the polls tonight no
reliable estimate of the results can be OBJ
tanned. For mayor it is generally believed
AdOlph Settr0, pop, has been elected,
though c. G. O'Donnell. the united labor
and anti-Chinese candidate. and T. :.
Ellert, the republican and citizens non
partisan nominee, are close seconds. The
citizens non-partisan candidates for nearly
all the important city offices are believed
to be elected. The result In the city can
not be known before tomorrow, as the
state and legislative tickets are to be
was polled the election was the quietest
in the history Of the city. About a score
Of arrests were made for illegal voting
but there was no other trouble.

ATTEMPT TO WRECK A TRAIN.
Track walker Uses the Flag just in
Time.

PITTSBURG. Nov. 5.-An attempt was
made last night TO wreck a Pittsburg, Vir-
ginia & Charleston passenger train near
Monongahela City. The train was run
ming at high rate of speed when sig
na,ed to- stop. Investigation showed a
large pile Of ties and rocks on the track.
which the track walker had discovered in
time TO flag the train. Near the obstruc-
ton was found a man lying close to the
rails wounded in the head. He stated
that he had come upon the trainwreckers
unawares and they had beaten him. The
Instructions had been carried some dis
tance and as the flagman Of the train ran
back along the tracks he saw three men
disappearing in the darkness. The
wounded man was taken to Charleroi and
turned over to the authorities. He would
make no statement beyond what he told
the trainmen and the police and railroad
officials are investigating the matter.
Char.es Coates, a te1egTapher. formerly
employed on the Lake Erie railroad, Is
under arrest at Charleroi charged with
trying 10 wreck the train. His story Of
being beaten into insenslbility by would
be trainwreckers because he came upon
them unawares is not believed. Physi-
clans examined him and found only few
scratches, which are thought to be self
inflicted Coates has been trying TO get
a position on the road for some time, and
being unsuccessful II is believed he took
this means to accomplish his purpose,
thinking the company would reward his
vigilance.

ONO BREAKS ALL RECORDS.
The state Republican by Over One
Hundred Thousand.

COLUMBUS, O., NOV. 6. - Ohio has
broken her record on republican plurali-
ties. The largest plurality heretofore was
when John Brough, rep, for governor, in
1853. had 1O1 900 over Clement l.. Vallan-
bingham, dem. the latter being exiled at
the time in Canada. Last year Governor
Mckinley carried the state by over eighty
thousand, but no such plurality had been
previously known except in the noted
ough-Vallandingham canvass, when all
the Ohio soldiers in the fields and hos
pitals Of the South voted. At that time
over forty thousand soldiers outside OF
the state voted for Brough and less than
one thousand for Vallandlngham. Dur
ing the last twenty years the parties have
alternated in carrying the state, the DEM
ocrats electing Governor Bishop in 1877,
Governor HO3dley in 1888 and Governor
Campbell in 1889 While the republicans
claim a plurality for Secretary Of State
Taylor of 125 600 70 10000. the democrats
concede that the republicans have made
large gains over the Mckinley vote of
last year and possibly beaten the Brough
high-water mark of 1863. On the basis Of
the state vote the republicans claim sew
enteen Of the twenty-One congressman,
the present Ohio delegation in congress
consisting Of eleven democrats and ten
republicans.

No Change in New Hampshire.

CONCORD. n. H., Nov. 6.-Returns
from New Hampshire were never more
tardy, but those received show republican
majorities. Less than one-quarter of the
state has been reported, but the returns at
hand indicate that Busiel will have at
least 5000 lead over Kent. The election
of two republican congressman is con-
ceded, and the legislature Will be repub-
lican by probably seventy-five. Four
wards in Manchester show a net repub-
lican gain of 579. Concord returns will
not be available tonight.

Tanner cIaims Everything.

CHICAGO. Nov. 6.-At 1890 tonight
John r. Tanner. chairman of the repub-
lican state central committee said:
lone hundred and twenty-five precincts
outside of Cook county show a republican
gain Of forty to the precinct. This may
not hold good in the agricultural town
ships, but sufficient reports have been
received to justify the claim of $4,000 ma
jOrity or plurality in the state. We have
sixteen republican congressman and both
branches of the general assembly. Cook
county has gone at least 5000 plurality
for republiCan.sm."
Tanner, chairman Of the republican
state committee said at 1:30 a. m:
We will have forty-four majority in
the legislature on joint ballot, Cook cOun-
ty by 10000 plurality, and Illinois by 1885,

COLORADO REPUBLICAN.
Mcintyre Elected Governor Over
Waite by 10000.

DENVER, Nov. 6.-The indications at
$50 o'clock are that Mcintyre. republican
for governor, will have $1,000 to 10000
majority over Waite, populist. The
Times-Sun claims the republican majori-
ty in this (Arapahoe) county viii be 10000,
and that the remainder of the state viii
give a republican majority of 5000 Waite
has run behind his ticket many thousands.
If the republicans have 10000 majority
on the head of their state ticket they will
undoubtedly control the legislature and
re-elect Senator Wolcott. Pence, populist,
is beaten by Shafroth, republican. for con-
gress in the First district. Bel, popu.ist,
may defeat Bowen in the Second district,
but his majority Of $4,000 two years ago
viii be greatly reduced.
Dispatches from all parts Of the state
say very full vote was pOlled, and in
the cities fully as many women voted as
men. The polls did not close until Z
O'Clock, and it will be very late before
any definite figures are received.
In Denver and suburbs about So per
cent. Of the registered vote was cast.
Women worked earnestly at the polls all
day for the success of the republican
ticket and the result is largely due to their
efforts.
