THE RIO GRANDE OVERFLOW
4 PORTION OF THE CITY OF Ell
PASO is UNDER WATER.
MANY FAMILIES DRIVEN FROM
HOME.
The Poor People Suffer Intensely-Many
Had to Wade Through Running
Water to Escape-Great Damage
To Property.

Ell PasO, Tex, July 15.-(Speaal.) For
more than week the Rio Grande has
been steadily rising, but no one seewed
to think of a dangerous squirt. Last
night however it rose nearly a foot,
snrcading itself over the lower part of
the city. The town is we'll protected
from above by a levee, but below the
termination of this levee the water has
spread, backing far above this point.
The Texas and Pacific railroad shops
and round house, Basset & Lyter's brick
yard, the International Copper Smelling
company's yards and three large diaries
are under water and some of these prop
critics will be heavily damaged.
The worst feature of the overflow is
the suffering of the poor people. The
lower part of the town is chiefly Occu-
pied by poor MeXicans, who live i'm small
houses of adobe or unburnt brick and these
crumble to mud when they get wet. a
large number of these, at least a score,
have already gone to pieces and the
wretched inhabitants of many more have
been driven from their so-ca'lled homes.
1t is impossible to learn now the real eX-
tent of the damage, as these MeXlcans
are gregariOus, joining their friends or
rllativcI ON higher ground, removing
their household goods on their backs.
At least q dozen weil-tO-dO families were
driven from their homes before daylight
this morning into the raging flood, which
surrounded them unawares. Among
these are the families of A. j. Taylor, X.
Taylor A. j. Williams, Kmeeless, Ruiz,
Quinn pnmI | IprIn ANN.
The condition of the Lermann family
is distressing One of their two chill
,lren died three days ago of scarlet fever
and the other was in almost hopeless
condition yesterday. The family had
to wade Through rushing water at 3
O'Clock this morning, carrying their child
into the chill air. Before the father
could return for his household goods, his
dwelling which was comfortable adobe,
was so far melted away that he could not
enter it.
The extensive dairy farms of G. W.
Gainey, G.. w. Hibard and John Pinck-
nry are under water Pinckmey's family
having to wade through two feet of water
to escape.
The fruit farms of Capt. James White
and Pat Dunn are known to be badly
damaged.

TEXAS CAR EXHIBIT.

Houston, Tex, July 1o.-(Special.)-
The State convention called by the Hous-
ton Business league to consider Il plan
to have Texas represented ut the Atlanta
exposition was held today.
The letter from the director general OF
the Atlanta exposition indicated that no
space could he allotted for an exhibition
from Texas in any Of the buildings ana
that the only way to make an exhibit
would be for Texas to erect building on
the grounds. The letter also stated thar
it would be impossible to run Il railroad
track into the grounds and make car
exhibit.
4 resolution was adopted favoring car
exhibit, and to pay the expense by COZ
lccting a subscription of $1,000 from the
leading citizens throughout the State,
fnd the following committee was ap-
pointed to raise the money: w. Is. Sios-
son of Houston. Il. Il. Charidge San An
tonic; c. G. Ollcn. Kirbyville; j. l.. Pen
ningtOn Fort Worth: Frank L. Holland
Dallas; j. j. Fairbanks, Denison; w. W.
Dexter Houston. ,.
The plan is to make up an exhibit in two
or more cars and the railroads will pro
vide transportation for these cars and also
provide for them while in Atlanta.
The Fruit Palace ut Tyler and other eN'
hibtS already made up assure the success
of THE plan.

The readers of this paper will be pleased
to learn that there is at least one dread
ed disease that science has been able to
cure in all its stages, and that is ca
tarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure now known to the medical
fraternity. Catarrh being cOnsttu-
tiOnal disease. requires n constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation of the
disease and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution and as
sisting nature in doing its work. The
proprietors have so much faith in its
curative powers that they offer 500 for
any case that it fails to cure. Send for

THE PREACHERS PROTEST.
They Propose Issuing am Address Against
the Dallas Fight.

Several of the Austin ministers had a
meeting yesterday morning to take some
action anent the Corbett-Fitzsimmons
prize fight These gentlemen held their
meeting up from last week until AFTER
the attorney general handed DOWN his
opinion in the matter AT yesterdays
meeting the ministers decided to issue an
address to the people of Texas, calling on
all preachers and morally inclined people
to rise in their power Nnd drive the fight
out of the State. The address will also
impress upon the governor the necessity
of formal action ON his part, even to the
calling of THE State militia into service to
prevent the fight. The ministers will
also ask for 10 mass meeting in this city
to protest against the fight and will re-
quest the holding of similar meetings IN
other cities i'm the State. The address
will be issued very shortly and will be an
exceedingly interesting document that
will bristle in many respects.

THE BOARD OF EQUALIZATION.

The State board of equalization at its
session yesterday morning considered the
protests of the c., II. II 5. A. and II. Y
U. G.. railroads on lands in organized
counties owned by said roads and which
had been assessed at $50 by the comp
troller. These roads desired the board
to put the valuation back to S1.O0 an acre,
claiming that to be Il fair valuation. and
that they were willing to sell it for that.
They further cited the fact that other
land of the same market value as theirs
was only assessed at S1.00. The board
heard arguments in the matter ana with
held their opinion until a latter date.

two brave railroad men lost their lives.
1t is supposed that as they were trying
to make up lost time and had an extra
amount of steam on, the engine jumped
the track as it rounded the curve. both
men were buried today, one at Longview
and THE other at Tyler.
