NORTHERN TEXAS VISITED BY STORM Heavy Damage to Farming and
 Railroad Interests. TRINITY RIVER ON RAMPAGE Rose Thirty Feet at Dallas and Over flowed Its Banks-Couriers Sent
 Out to Notify the Residents
 of the Valleys
TRINITY RIVER ON RAMPAGE

Dallas, Tex, September H.-The storm of last night night over northern and north western Texas was one of the most dis astrous rain and electrical storms experi- enced in years. The damage is heavy, but is confined largely to cotton and railway interests. Farmers declare that the injury to the cotton crop will reach 10 per cent. Trains on nearly every road in northern Texas are far behind schedule time, and southbound trains on the Missouri, Kansas and Texas and the Houston and Texas Central Railroads are tied up for tonight at Dallas.
 The Trinity river at Dallas has risen nearly thirty feet since last night and over flowed its banks this afternoon. The situ- ation became so alarming that about o'clock Sheriff Hughes sent out mounted ccuriers from this city to notify farmers and other residents along the valley to move out, as they otherwise would be like ly to be caught by flood during the night. News from the Handle Belt may add to the seriousness of the storm Wire com munication is badly interrupted.
 Rain began falling late yesterday after noon and ended this morning at Il o'clock. During that interval the fall was eleven inches in some places The rain was ac- companied by wind, which unroofed houses and blew trees to the ground.
 At Fort Worth considerable loss was sus- tained. The Trinity river left its banks during the night, and the valley as far as the eye could see was a vast sheet of water. The river rose 21 feet during the night The city park there was submerged to depth of { feet and the water works was an island.

The control of the Kansas City Southern

have been so many rumors recently, IS
now virtually lodged with the interests
controlling the Chicago & Alton Railway
company as appears from the following
announcement just made:
The voting trust OF the Kansas City
Southern Railway company has been re
constituted by the resignation of John
Lambert, William Edenbern and Samuel
r. Shipley, and the election in their
place Of Z. Fl Hartman, George J.
Gould and Otto II. Kahn
Within the last few days it has been
declared, both in Chicago and in this
city. that John W Gates and his asso-
ciates had purchased the interest of L
H Hartman and his friends in the road,
and then that there had been 4 retrans-
fer to the Hartman syndicate Of the
whole property. Tt can be said on high
authority however that neither Of these
alleged transactions has occurred
E. H Hartman declined to discuss the
Kansas City Southern deal when Ques-
toned George Gould professed ignor-
ance OF the whole matter John W.
