THE FLOODS STILL BOOM
Railroad Traffic from Houston to Northern
Points Is intercepted.
FOUR Big LINES PRACTICALLY TIED UP
The Pee Gee Has Decided 20 Extcns
Its Line from Port Arthur
to Sabine Pass.

There is little or no improvement to
be announced this morning In the condi-
ton of the waterbound railroads. Four
Of the leading lines from Nouston--the
Santa Fe, the Katy. the Central and the
Arkansas Pass--are all practically tied up
and unless the floods soon subside there
is no telling when through traffic will be
re-established on these roads. Up to a
late hour last night the damage caused by
foundations had not been repaired, al
though all of the lines mentioned had large
forces of men at work to Offset the re-
suits OF the rainstorm.
The San Antonio and Arkansas Pass train
left here as usual yesterday morning, but
could not go beyond Wallis from which
point 1t subsequently returned to the city

engines in crossing the BRACES bottoms,
and alter wading through an almost end
less sheet of water succeeded in reaching
the Capital City in safety at 5;45 o'clock
last evening. The line between Hampstead
and Chappell Hill is flooded at many
points, but it is hoped the waters will re-
cede this afternoon.
The Missouri Kansas and Texas sent
out no train last night. and traffic on the
Santa Fe for the time being is totally
abandoned.
The Victoria branch of the Southern
Pecfc is under water in many places.
and the Macaron train. due to arrive here
at 1886 yesterday afternoon, did not reach
Houston until after 10 o'clock last night.
The International railroad has expe-
rienced some slight inconvenience by the
floods, but its trains went out according
to schedule notwithstanding.
Taking the situation as whole, the
overAows are more general than any rain
storm has caused in South Texas for years.
and it will be several days before the
washouts can be repaired.
