Appeals for help continue to come from
all points along the Brazos bottom as the
crest of the mighty food sweeps toward
the gulf Yesterday afternoon kilograms
were received from Julff and Sandy Point
stating that conditions were becoming Sc
rious and the refugees from lowlands were
sadly in need of provisions and assistance.
A relief train was Immediately ordered
out by the International and Great North
ern officials, in charge OF e. G.. Mustain,
Roadmaster Morse, General Agent Booth
and Conductor Ferguson, with lot OF
supplies and lumber purchased by The
Post with funds donated by Houston citi-
zens. This train left at $50 p. IN. and
went as far as Howden, where the track
was found to be in an unsafe condition
and the destination for which it started
was abandoned so far as pulling the car
with the engine. But those in charge
were not to be daunted and cutting the
car loose from the train rope was at
tached to the drawhead and twelve or If
teen negroes lent a hand in pulling 1t to
Juliff, where the supplies for that point
were taken out and the car will be sent
to Sandy Point this morning to relieve
the sufferers at that place
The water was rising rapidly at 10
o clock last night at the rate Of four inches
an hour and reports that will be received
from there this morning will no doubt tell
of the complete inundetion OF the lands
from the river to Howden. a distance of
about seven miles. Water is already
within mile of Howden in the low places.
More than thousand negroes are now
congregated at Sandy Point, Juliff and
Howden, in gin houses, the depots and
all buildings that could be had. There
are also large number at Chensngo and
Chenango junction. Much suffering is re-
ported around Sandy Point and Chenango,
Parties from those places who were seen
by The Post reporter last night stated
that several negroes had been caught in
the food near the river and had no way
of getting out, there being no boats avail
able. Should this prove to be true--aL d
there is no reason to doubt the reports

spent in the bottoms last night.
There is no doubt but there will be a

relief parties with boats are badly needed,

and efficient efforts should be made 10
relieve those who are in distress.
The International and Great Northern
people are willing and anxious TO provide
any number OF cars to caro- for refugees
and 10 provide any other necessary trans
portation.
The Post representative could not OBJ
tain means OF transportation to the sec
ton where suffering was reported, not a
boat being obtainable, and was wholly
dependent on others for information; this,
however, came from very reliable source.
When the relief train arrived at Areola
on its return trip to Houston the telegraph
operator told The Post correspondent
that Sandy Point wired him that many
persons we're known 10 be left in the bot
toms near that place who were In trees
and on housetops, but they had no boats
