'BRAzOS RIVER RAGING.
he Wafer Is Still Rising Very Rapidly
and Great Damage Is Being Done.
THE KATY" TRACK WASHED OUT
RescuinE the Flood sunerers--some
May Yet Perish-scenes Beyond
VA BroolSshIre.

The southbound Katy that reached here
yesterday morning will likely be the last
train into Houston over that road for some
little time.
Immediately upon the arrival of that
train a construction train was loaded With
lumber and sent out to weigh down and
save IL possible, the costly iron bridge of
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas which
spans the river at the crossing beyond
Brookshire. but on arriving there the
bridge was so far under water that the
construction train could not get within a
mile of 1t.
Parties who returned to Houston on that
train last night give a most graphic de-
scription of what they saw there They re-
port during their stay there trying to reach
and save the bridge the river rose at least
FIVE or six feet and that stock and houses
were floating about at random. Those who
lived beyond the waters reach busted
themselves in trying to save the lives OF
those less fortunate. whose homes had
been inundated
BY the use of RATS some fifty people
were saved and brought to shore and
brought back by the construction train TO
Brookshire, which is about six miles this
side of the river. While the water has ret
yet reached Brookshre, and It is not likely
TO on account of its altitude. It is up to the
base OF what is known as the Brookshirc
hill
The river at this point is reported to be
at least three miles wide. and when tho
rescuing train LEI, 1t was still rising rap
idly.
About a mile of the Katy track is
washed away on this side, and how much
more on the other side is not known
Those who returned from there last
night say dhe washout is so thorough that
It will be difficult to tell when the water
recedes that there ever was a track there.
There was another heavy rain there yes
terday when the wreckers were at work.
filling the prairie with water.
1t was impossible to ascertain whether
or not any lives had been lost, but it is
certain that some will perish unless the eff
fort that was being made to rescue them
succeeds, rs while the trainmen were at
work the screams of persons holding on to
drift or in the trees of the fiooded district
could be heard imploring for help. Brave
and willing hands were working nobly
vixen the train left, building RATS that
would be sufficiently strong to perform the
work of rescue.
The Katy bridge has not yet succumbed
to the flood. but serious apprehension is
felt among railroad men that It will go.
The scene at the river is described as
appalling. So rapid was the rise that peo-
pie We're driven from their homes without
saving anything except such few articles
Of clothing, etc, as they could gather up
and take with them in their hasty flight.
The crops there are entirely gone and
the devastation is thorough and complete
