VERY LITTLE DOING.
The Southern Pacific Again Tied Up
On Account of High Water
Train Crews Not Getting In Full
Time.

For the second time within the last
few weeks the Southern Pacific line
east of here is tied up on account OF q
flood.
In conse quence of this there was only
one switch crew in the G.. q. & s. A.
yards yesterday afternoon and the train
crews IRE making very poor time.
The flood of few weeks ago cost the
Southern Pacific in the neighborhood OF
s4OO. QUO and it is thought that the cost
OF this wsshout will not fall far below
that amount.
Regarding the flood situation the
Denison Herald has the following to
say:
meDt in the flood situation today. In
fact. the M, <. & T. last night WAS in
the worst shape they have been in
since the trouble began. The Brazos
river rose yesterday evening about
O'Clock, higher than it has yet been,
and the gang of men that has been
Watching the large iron bridge across
The stream, were forced to abandon
their work of keeping the drift away
from the structure and flee for their
lives The water rose on all sides
of them and cut them
down q section house near the north
end of the bridge and construct raft,
on which they managed to reach Sealy,
about a half mile away. The water Is
running over the top OF the bridge, and
now that the drift can no longer be
kept from striking it, 1t is regarded as
almost certain to go. The dumps to
both approaches are under water and
NO doubt are washed entirely away.
The bridge and small plot OF ground
where the telegraph Office and section
house stood, are the only points not
under water for q radius of half mile
in any direction.
The train service is about the same,
all passengers being from one to four
hours late yesterday, sand No. 4 this
morning, reached here at 6:15.
The 81. & T. Z. is at a standstill and
will remain so until the flood recedes
sufficiently TO enable them to begin re-
pairing. They are still running trains
back and forth between here and Bre-
mond, aud their wires are working as
far south is Calvert
TIE Brszos river has risen over two
feet since o'clock this morning and
the iron bridge across the stream Is
hanging hy mere thread and ls liable
TO 90 st any time. All efforts to save
the structure have been abandoned.
Fl NJ. K. & T has fought hard to
saye this bridge aud its loss will prove
n serious one for them, Gripping them
for weeks. as q new structure Will nave
TO be erected to take its place and the
dumps and approaches TO the same re-
built.

A tramp going through the G. H. &

tracted a great deal of attention. He
said that he wanted to know the tenn
perature of the atmosphere through

MUST MOVE.
The Cinnamon Have a Week Left In
Which to Vdcate the Eating
Houses Between Here and New
Orleans on the 6. H. & S. All
But One Will Be Out BY the 18th.

AS stated in the HERALD several
weeks ago, the Crescent News and Ho-
tel company will assume charge of all
the eating houses between here and
New Orleans on the G. 81. & S. A. line
with the exception of one and that is
stationed at Valentine, the first divi-
sion east of here on that line. They
may take charge of it later on, but for
the present they prefer to allow the
present management to hold on. 15
This move has been under contem-
plation for some time by the Crescent
company and they have been watching
their chance to take charge of the
property. This company has had
charge of the G. 81. & S. A. eating
house at this point for some time past
and they have given perfect satisfac-
ton, and it is to be regretted that they
are not going to take charge at Valen-
tine at once.

The British Campaign.

New York. Dec 12.--Discussing the
Anglo Boer situation, the London corre-
spondent of the Herald says: Experts
here would not be surprised to find that
considerable part Of the Beers who
We're investing Ladysmith had been
called off and hurried down to the south
ern part of the Free State to bar the
approach of the British from northern
Cape Colony. The extreme mobility of
the Beers has always been one of their
chief sources of strength.
General Butler yesterday held a review
OF the troops at Frere camp, probably
as prelude to giving the order for an
advance. For the moment the great

when the bridge, somewhat in the side

Generals Gatacre and French. General
French has had no great difficulties in
his way. He has advanced from village

The first move on Gatacre's part was
to seize Stormburg. if possible. This at
tempt has been defeated and he has re-

the future conduct of the campaign can
not be prophesied with any certainty.
General Gatacre will have to be rein

Captain Carter'S Case.

New York, Dec. IA special to the
Herald from Washington says: Tn mill
tary circles here the impression prevails
that the Indictment of the members Of the
Atlantic Contracting company, which is
alleged to include Captain Garter. late of
the army, by the Savannah authorities.
will be used by the friends OF Carter to
tence imposed upon him by the court
martial, which convicted him. Before
Captain Carter was sentenced to dismiss
sal from the army and ordered to serve
five years Imprisonment in the Fort
Leavenworth prison, the Atlantic Com
tracing company brought suit in the
court of claims to recover certain money
claimod to Zoe due it in connection with
work performed under contract in Sa-
Vannah harbor and Cumberland sound
a motion to dismiss its original bi
had been entered. II was stated by the
counsel for the Atlantic Contracting com
pauy had no intention of abandoning its
claim. VI simply desired an opportunity
to amend it's BILL in accordance with the
changed conditions brought about by the
conviction Of Captain Carter. Counsel
stated at the time that an amended bill
would be filed as soon as the original
bill was dismissed which would bring the
Carter case in all its details before the
court of claims for consideration. Legal
authorities, in military circles says that
the indictment of capt. Carter as Il mem
be-. of the Atlantic Construction company
or in connection with the members Of hat
company, will not Vitiate or interfere
with the execution OF til" sentence.
