PEOPLE ARE STARVING.
Terrible Plight of the Victims of
Texas Floods.

st. Louis. July A special to the
Post-Dispatch from Austin. Tex, says:
Governor Sayers received the following
telegram from a number of prominent
residents of BrOOkshire. a small town
in Waller county. on the BrazOS river.
about thirty miles from Houston:
Hundreds of people here with every
thing swept away by flood; have not
a mouthful to eat and no shelter. I'm
less food is sent at once starvation is
inevitable. and to you, as governor of
Texas. we appeal for immediatei aid
and food"
Governor Savers Immediately replied
by wiring the mayors of Houston, Gal
weston and San Antonio as follows:
Am just advised that hundreds Of
people are suffering at Brookshire for
want of food. Have no public funds at
my disposal. Please call on the people
of your city to assist"

Hundreds of People Huddled On
Small Texas Island.
AND WATER IS RISING
FEARS THAT THEY MAY ALL BE
DROWNED.
Texas Rivers Are Once More On
Rampage and Alarming Reports
Are Coming In From Several
Small Towns-Help May Come to
Them Too Late.

st. Louis. Mo-. July A special to
the Republic from Dallas, Tex, says:
Another flood disaster which. from the
first bulletin received here tonight, APP
pears to have been worse than that at
Calvert on Friday and Saturday last.
occurred this afternoon in the BrazOS
valley, about loo miles down the river
from Calvert. Reports say that the
large steel bridge of the Missouri. Kan
sas & Texas railway at Dewey station,
near the crossing of the BrazOs river,
is gone. The river in that section be-
gan rising suddenly yesterday, and to-
night is six feet higher than ever be-
fore known. Immense drifts of houses,
trees, fences. etc, are floating by Sea-
ley and Dewey.
Alarming reports are coming from
Lagrange and Sealey of loss of life in
the vicinity of Brookshire. Chief Line
man of the Postal Telegraph company
tonight made the following statement
over the long distance telephone lrOm
Sealey, twenty-five miles south Of Dali
las:
The BrazOs river here is more than
five miles wide. and water flashing fur
iously- All character of floating prop
erty is rushing along with the current.
On this side of the river. at Sealey,
there is as yet little danger, but on the
Other side, at Dewey ana BroOkShlre,
the conditions are terrible. BroOkshire
is thirteen miles from Sealey, and
miles from Houston. We
cannot get from the Sealey side to the
Dewey and BrookShire side. and as our
wires are all gone on that side, we can
not tell extent of the disaster at Brook
shire.
If boats and special trains from
Houston or other points have not yet
reached BroOkshire, they are too late
The people, I fear, will be drowned be-
fore they can be reached. This after
noon there were from 300 TO 400 people
)n a small island near Brookshire, and
the water was rising rapidly. L fear
they are drowned by this time. as they
had not the slightest means of escape.
The river here tonight is six feet
higher than in 1885, which was the high
record up TO the present"

RAILRoADERs DEFEATED.
Lagoons Beat R. G. WIS. In a Fea-
tureleSS Game.

In the crippled condition in which
hthey went on the field it is scarcely
to be wondered at that the Rio Grande
Westerns fell before the Lagoons yes
terday. Their undoing was accom-
plished to the tune of IL to 3 in game
that was rather dull and slow.
The r. G. VS. had hardly a chance
to show their capabilities. They were
minus their catcher. Walter Scare. who
was at Provo with the Y. NJ. c. A:
Gamer, their shortstop, was unable to
play, and to cap the climax of their
misfortunes, Gordon, their star
coacher, was hit in the mouth in prac-
tice and couldn't open his face during
the game. Without his sideline en-
couragement they couldn't hope to win.
The Lagoons were in their best play
ing form, and put up an almost error
less game. Haynes proved a hard nut
to crack and the Westerns got but four
hits off him, most of them in the first
inning. Smith of the Westerns was
not so effective. but his support was so
wretched that it is not surprising.
Almost the only brilliant play of the
game was a one-handed catch by
Hooper in the seventh. Haynes had
raped out a hard low fly into left
field, close to the foul line. 1t seemed a
certain hit, but Hooper made a run
for il and captured it with his extend
ed right hand while going at full tilt
1t was pretty catch, and the fans ap-
plauded it. Martins fast work at short
for the LagoonS was noteworthy
The game was exceptionally devoid
of notable features. There were no
long hits. no double plays. A collision
in center field between Campbell and
sent both men spinning, but
neither was seriously hurt. Lamp
lugh put two flies over left field fence
but both were a trifie outside of the
foul line. The score follows:

THIRTEEN REPORTED DROWNED
Small Village of Dewey Has Been
Washed Away.

Houston, Tex, July 4.-The food sit
uation was improved everywhere today
except in Walter county. The small
village OF Dewey has been washed
away. and many people Whereabouts
are in danger of their lives. y report
from BrOOkshire says thirteen persons
have been drowned already, and many
more may soon be. a relief train was
sent out of here tonight with boats and
physicians. but not nearly enough. The
people were not warned, and had no
time to escape.
This afternoon it was reported that
between 100 and $50 farmers and their
families were on a small hill near
where Dewey was, and which has since
become an island, with water slowly
rising. 1t is feared that many of them
have been lost. No reports can be had
until morning
The total number Of deaths accurate
ly reported at all points now reaches
sixty three. forty of them in Robertson
county This is not believed To be half.
Calvert is refusing offers of assistance.
