Brennan, Texas, July 2.--The Post corr
respondent made trip OF tblrteen miles
along the Central railroad from Brennan
to the BRACES valley today. The farms
on the high lands are TO all appearances
In good condition. but badly washed, APP
pearances are deceptive. however as those
farmers with whom conversation was hal

in the county, says the highland cotton is

down and the damage to II is heavy. AT
the Central bridge the Bragos river is two

In Waller county east OF the river G
Hermann Of Brenhnm has 100 acres un-
der water and today his tenant houses
began to float.
There is no damage to the Houston and
Texas Central railroad in this county,
The approaches to Central bridges are
inundated and water is running over the
track for more than q mile. in some places
six feet deep.
The damage to the Santa Fe railway In
this county can be repaired for $1,000.
There is great deal of new railroad work
in this county. There are eighteen miles
of track left. The Santa re has wash
out at Dayidson's, in Burleson county,
where two miles of track has gone. The
north bound train today went to that pace
and took groceries and supplies to Super
intendenis Scott and Resseguie and Chief !
Engineer Felt, who are there.
There are over 200 public roads and 500
bridges in this count; all bridges are
many totally destroyed. and the |
roads arc impossible. The Post CORES
pendent tried to get over some OF thec, |
and found holes big enough for wa ~,
and team. There Is no report here OF loss
Of life or stock. 1t is impossible to give
figures in the loss. The farmers can not |
come in TO report.

condition, but fearfully washed, and will
be damaged fully 20 per cent. Ansley's
store. at Lake, and the railroad water tank
are gone. The water is still four feet
over the railroad at that point and
hundreds of yards of track are washed
off the dump and the roadbed Is gone for
probably mile at that place. The same
conditions are seen all along the line
from Marquee to Ro0kdale. Every bridge
and culvert is gone and it. Is estimated
that the cost OF repairs between the above
points will exceed 100000. All county
bridges are either washed away or ap-
proaches gone. Forty thousand dollars
could not repair the probable damages
now reported.
The International and Great Northern
railroad has probably 100 men at work
between here and Hearne. and II is
thought trains will run between the above
towns by Tuesday. The following promi-

BOTTOMS STILL UNDER WATER.
ONLY ONE DEATH HAS BEEN mr.
PORTED AT BRYAN.
Bales of Cotton Have Becn
Destroyed by the Flood.

Bryan. Texas, July Alt IL too early
yet TO make anything like an accurate
estimate of the loss by food in BRACES
county, as the river bottoms are still
overhowed and great portion of the
county has not yet been heard from on
account of swollen streams with the
bridges washed away.
So far there has been only one death. a
negro man, drowned in the Brazos, There
are doubtless Others but the number can
not be told until the water recedes aud
the tenants return to their homes.
The cotton and corn crops on the hills
are not badly damaged, the land is badly
washed, but the crops will be fairls
good. In the creek bottoms the crops are
damaged badly, much of the cotton washed
away and some covered with sand and
other debris, The corn in the creek bot
toms Is already soured to a large extent
and much of it will be total loss
The river bottoms are still covered
and no loss can be estimated there, though
The Post correspondent was informed by
some of the bottom planters today that
every particle OF corn anu COituu lHdt
had overlooked in the bottom would be a
total loss. hree-fourths of the acreage
along the Brazos river in this county
and in Burleson county on the opposite
side was covered to depth of from one to
ten feet.
Nearly all the work stock on the Brazos
We're cotton ont, but quite a number of
horses and mules were lost. perhaps 200
head of cattle and as many as 800 or 900
head of hogs. Superintendent w. Wip

damaged, but they are valued at $4,000
The Houston and Texas Central lost
heavily in the county. Two miles north
of Bryan the dump and $50 feet of track
were washed away. Between there and
the Robertson county line two bridges and
one culvert are washed away.
On the Nayasotn river this side of the
town of Navasota the track is covered

impossible to Even Approximate the
immense Amount of .'umage
that Has Been Done.

Navasota, Texas. July 2.-To estimate
the flood losses in this section at this
writing is such an enormous undertaking.
as to make it impossible 1t is the worst
disaster that ever happened to the Brazos
valley. The Brazos and Navasota rivers
are now from six to eight miles wide and
still rising rapidly.
No reliable report OF loss OF life yet re-
ceived, but every foot of bottom land is
inundated.
Corn and cotton totally swept away.
Hundreds OF horses, mules, hogs and
COWS are gone.
Agricultural implements were washed
away or are useless. Wells filled up and
houses floating away.
Reliable business men don't attempt to
approximate the monetary losses from
food. confessing total inability to do so.
Water is backing so high into Small
town creek that residences along it are
being flooded an unheard of circumstance
This evening frequent showers have fall
len and indications are for heavy rain
in this section.

FORT BEND COUNTY.
Crops Have Been Damaged Two
Hundred Thousand.


Richmond, Texas, July 2.-Richmond
was visited today at noon with another
hard rain. The river continues to rise
slowly today. Has covered the second bot
tom, and all crops thereon are under
water. The prairies look to be one solid
mass of water There have been no lives
nor stock lost to date In this county. A
large number OF the colored population
in the bottoms have moved out to higher
ground, quite a number coming to Rich
mond. All the stock has been driven out
Of the low lands. The damage done is
mostly confined to cotton and corn, and
1t is impossible to give a correct estimate
OF the loss at this writing. but the most
conservative estimate The Post cores
pendent has heard from bottom planters
places the loss at 100000. The county
bridge over the river is considered safe;
so is the railroad bridge both being about
twelve feet yet from the water; most OF
the bridges over creeks throughout the
county are rendered worthless. and the
roads are not passable and won't be for
some time The bridges here are lined
with solid mass OF anxious spectators
daily watching the maddened waters roll
onward.

rivers have fallen considerably and a
great volume CT water has run off the

five human lives are reported to have been

The Damage to the Tobacco Crop
Has Been Very Great.


Has Bcen Very Great.
Willis, Texas. July 1.-The damage to
the tobacco crop from the rains of this
week is even worse than at FIRST supposed.
About half of that which was not cut has
"fopped,' and all that has Hoped is alb
solutely worthless. BY "nopping" ls meant
to die from the rain end the leaves fall
down around the stalk. This not only
ruins the leaves but there is no chance for
a second crop. All of that which was not
cut is more or less damaged as we'll IS
that In the barns being damaged some.
Fires have been run In the barns to pre-
vent II moulding. One farmer who had
ten acres in tobacco has now only about
two standing. While some have lost very
near all left in the field some have lost
but little.
On account OF the high waters of the
San Jacinto river Friday night all trains
were thrown out, the water being over
the bridge. The county bridge across the
San Jacinto between here and Montgomery
is badly damaged All bottom lands have
been under water and of course all such
crops are ruined and now 1t is too late to
replant.
