The remarkably heavy rains In Texas
have done damage which will amount to
millions Of dollars. Railroad trafic was
suspended In south Texas because of the
numerous washouts, and many bridges
are gone. Every stream in the vicinity
Of Houston rose above high-water mark
and the angry waters have destroyed
thousands Of ncres of cotton, corn and
cane, besides houses and cattle. AT Cal
vert the rise was so sudden that when
the water went through the town severa:
negroes were drowned and FIVE bodies
have been recovered. The Big and Little
Brazos rivers have Joined at Navasota,
where they are ordinarily three miles
apart, and the whole country between,
mostly cotton and corn land, Is ruined.
1t Is reliably stated that one family OF
six persons persisted. The loss in cotton
alone will reach 81 900, 900, while another
million will not cover the loss to railroads
and other property.
