Austin, Texas.-This city Saturday
tight was in pitch darkness, with
aging river one mile wide and swollen
ar beyond its natural banks, roaring
md surging through all the lower
portion of the town, having spread
destruction and death in its wake.
In addition to the vast loss to property
n this city, some forty lives have been
Iacri6ced and reports that come in
rom tributary country tonight do not
end to improve matters. The flood
s not unlike the disastrous Johnstown
1ood, some years ago in that a raging
'iver, already swollen far beyond its
capacity bore too heavily upon an i'm
nense dam spanning the river here,
breaking the dam and letting loose a
reservoir of water thirty miles long,
nah mile wide and sixty feet deep,

The valley Of the Colorado river. On
|ast Wednesday night it began raining
very hard at this place and north of
here for some 125 miles along the
watersheds of the Colorado. It never
'eased until this morning and as a
final squirt there were six inches of
rein fall within an hour during the
early hours Of this morning. All this

shis morning, the river, which had
been rising steadily since last even
ing, was
RISING TORRENT,
having risen forty feet within ten
hours. After daylight this morning
it became evident that the situation
was going to be serious. Toe river
began rising SO rapidly that the i'm
mense dam and all the power-houses
and contents, costing one and half
million dollars, would be washed away.
By II o'clock this morning there were
tons of debris piled up against tbs
great dam, when suddenly with a re-
port like hundreds of cannon dis
charged simultaneously, a great
wedge, twenty-five feet high, 500 feet
wide and about eight feet thick, rolled
out Of the centre section of the great
dam down the face Of the sixty foot
depth into the river below. This
wave left great gap in the very mid
die of the dam, through which the
debris and water poured with all the
FIERCENESS OF DEMONS.
The released water poured into the
power-house, catching eight employees
at work there, drowning every one OF
them like 80 many rats in trap.
The telegraph companies at once
wired to places below here to look out
for the great wave, and runners were
dispatched on horses to notify those
living in the valleys below the city.
The telegraph was in seme instances
all right, but the raging waters out
stripped the horsemen and houses
were picked up and pitched about on
the surging waves ere the occupants
had any idea of what happened. In
some instances the roaring Of the. ad-
ditional food gave warning and peo-
pie few for their lives, leaving their
valuables and household furniture to
90 down with their homes.
Within ten minutes all the valleys
to the south and West Of Austin we're
filed to overfowing with water and
the southern portion Of the city trib-
utafy to the river was under, while
dozens Of persons stood and saw theit
houses washed away or went down
with them. Excitement ran riot. -
A crowd of poor white people, NUM-
bering some thirty, living Just below
the dam in tents, we're seen at their
habitations just before the dam broke
and have not been seen since, and it
is generally conceded that all of them
were swept away. b.,
One man. attempting to cross the
roadway leading to the bridge across
the river just as the big wave rolled
down, failed to make it, was caught
and he aud his horse and buggy went
down with the torrent and were heari
of no more.
A family Of six negroes who were
living in the valley south of the city
were drowned.

Items in Appropriation Bill to Cover
Deficiencies.
Among the items in the District appro-
pration bill reported to the House Of Rep
resentatives Monday are several providing
additional funds for the construction of
school houses and two houses for addi-
tional companies in the fire department.
The additional sum of $4,000 is provided
for an eight-room school in the northeast
$1,000 for rebuilding the I-ovejoy school,
5000 for an eight-room school in the south
east and 5000 for an eght-room school in
Hillsdale. With these additional amounts
the Commissioners feel confident that the
respective buildings can be constructed, it
having been found impossible to erect them
with the amounts originally provided be-
cause of the marked advance in the price
OF building materials.
For the construction of the truck house
In Columbia Heights, site for which has al
ready been secured on Whitney avenue be-
tween 18th and 14th streets the bill pro-
videS an additional sum of $1,000 and a like
additional amount for the chemical house
IN Ienleytown, the site for which has also
been purchased. AS in the case of the
school houses, the Commissioners are sat
isfied that the houses can be constructed
with these additional amounts. The bill
however Will not BECOME operative until
July l. 1900, and it Is therefore understood
that the Commissioners will ask the Senate,
When the measure reaches there. to so
amend 1t as to make these additional ap-
preparations for the school houses and
houses for the fire department immedia tely
available. 1t is believed that the bill will
be passed by both houses of Congress- and
approved within three or four weeks, so
that II these additional amounts should be
made Immediately available the construc-
ton of the buildings could be commenced
early in April. No doubt is felt as to such
action by the Senate, it being stated that
the House would have SO provided but for
an oversight on the part of some one.
