Still the River Is Out OF Banks and
There Is Great Damage.
Galveston, Tex, May 1.-Tonight's
reports indicate that the worst of the
trouble in the Brazos basin is over, if
more rains do not follow.
Bryan, about $50 miles from the
mouth of the river, reports the Brazos
out of its banks and considerable bot
tom land overhowed, and the river ris-
ing two inches an hour. The Navasota
river is out of it's banks and flooding
the lowlands, and in Velasco county,
near it's mouth, the water is three feet
below last June's high mark. The
river is rising slowly, and lowlands are
inundated. The Texas railroads have
not suffered any great losses in the de-
struction of property, and those who
have wash outs are operating Dy max
ing detours over other lines. The
Southern Pacific bridge at Columbus,
which was washed out about three
weeks ago and which was replaced by
temporary structure, was again
washed out. The Gulf, Colorado &,
Santa Fe lost about 2, 300 feet of track
and some small culverts on the Sar
Angelo branch. About two miles OF iti
track on the Montgomery branch il
unaer water and two or three small
trestles are gone. The main line il

AGAIN TURNED DOWN.
Senate Refused to Consider the BOer
Resolution.

Resolution.
Washington, May again today
the question of expressing sympathy for
the Beers was thrust ON the attention
of the senate. This time it came up
on a motion to proceed to the consider
alton OF the resolution introduced by
Pettigrew (Silver, s. d. which was
before the senate last Saturday. The
motion was defeated, 30 to 20. The
conference on the joint resolution re-
lating to the administration OF civil
affairs in Puerto Rico and providing
for the appointment Of temporary Off
GERS on the island was agreed to. Dur
ing the greater part of the session the
Alaskan civil code bill was under con.
Iideration, but no progress was made.
The house today passed the Lacey
bill, to enlarge the powers OF the de-
partment of agriculture and to prohibit
interstate commerce in game killed in
violation of local laws. 1t authorizes
the secretary of agriculture to provide
for the introduction and restoration of
game and insectiverous wild birds. 1t
gives him the power to prevent the in
PRODUCTION of undesirable birds and
animals and prevents the killing OF
game in violation of state laws for con-
cealed shipment to states where it can
be sold in the open markets.
The senate bill to create a commits
sion OF five to investigate and report
upon the commercial and Industrial
conditions in Japan and China was de-
bated at length, but was vigorously an
tagonized by the Democrats, and they
finally succeeded in striking out the
enacting clause in committee. and this
motion was pending when the house
adjourned. If the motion prevails in
the house, the bill is dead.
The bill for constitutional amend
ment to disqualify polygamists for elec-
tion as senators and representatives and
to prohibit polygamy. which was re-
ported by the committee on the cleo
tion of president, vice-president and
representatives in congress, was re-
ferred to the committee on Judiciary.
after meeting with opposition from both
sides of the house. Every speaker who
antagonized the bill said he opposed
polygamy, but did not see any reason
for legislation on the constitution and
invading the rights of the states. The
house agreed to the conference report
on the joint resolution extending the
tenure of military officers in Puerto
Rico

FRAUDULENT USE OF MAILS.
Charge Made Against San Francis can.
Who Was Arrested.


San Francisco, May, 2.-John Bar
stow. alias James Buckner, alias James
B. Blair, alias Robert Deuprey, was ar
sested today on charge OF using the
mails for fraudulent purposes. The
man gave his name as James Buckner,
but operated his various schemes under
different aliases. His schemes, though
not entirely rev, had some rather novel
features. He posed as the Oneida Oil
Company, incorporated for $3.50, 600,
with offices in this city. He had
contract with clipping bureau to fur
nish him with all death notices in Cal
ifornia, Oregon, Washington and the
Pacific coast states, except places with
In rs miles of San Francisco. Some
weeks after the death OF an adult male
Barstow or Buckner would send notice
TO the address OF the deceased, asking
for the last payment on the stock OF
the Oneida Oil. which the deceased
had purchased and paid for, except one
PAYMENT The notice was invariably
accompanied by letter, written on a
q
printed letter head Of the mythical
company, telling Of the value of the
stock, which was selling at par, with
an upward tendancy, and congratulate,
ing the lucky purchaser upon his most
judicious investment. The balance the
swindler asked for as still due on the
valuable stock was usually small, vi a
share, and usually amounting to from
S5 to $l5 in each case. He figured on
the relatives OF the deceased opening
the letter and remitting the amount
asked for, under the belief that theil
deceased relative had secretly invested
/ in oil stock. Judging from the re
plies, checks and money orders in TIN
letters found upon him by the authori
ties, Buckner had many victims. /
Is estimated that Buckner's receipt
were from $25 to $40 day.

WRECKED MANY LIVES.
The Cause of Beautiful Woman's
Suicide.

Suicide.
Chicago, May 2.-Standing before a
mirror in her room at the Palmer
House, Minnie M. Wray, a beautiful
young woman, pressed a revolver to her
temple and sent bullet crashing
through her brain. Scraps of a torn
letter found in the waste basket, and
put together said the writer had
wrecked too many lives already and
must cease" This letter was adj
dressed to A. N. Ohler, Of Moline, Ills.
Miss Wray came to the hotel last
Friday. She carried small hand grip.
She gave the name of miss l.. Gray"
to the clerk, who registered for her,
and when asked for her address re-
sponded that Chicago would do as we'll
as any. She handed him the check for
her trunk and asked to have it brought
to her Immediately.
The death was encompassed by q
number of theatrical features, the
young woman having taken every pre-
caution to render impossible her iden-
tity. While she entered the hotel at
tired attractively and wearing a num-
ber of diamonds, nothing was found in
her room but coarse, black wrapper,
which she wore when she killed her
self. Her diamonds were gone, only
single unset stone~ being found on the
dresser. where 1T had dropped from her
purse. She left note to the manager
OF the hotel. directing them to take the
money from her pocketbook to settle
the hotel bill. She requested especially
that no effort be made to find her rela-
tives, as she did not wish them to
know OF her deed.

STORY OF REDDERsBURG.
Told by Correspondent Who Was
with General De Wet.

Told by Correspondent Who Was
with General De Wet.
Lourence Marques, April 30.-A cor
respondent of the Standard and Digger
News whit the Boer commander, Gen
eral DeWet, gives full description of
the British disaster at Reddersburg.
He says:
Give hundred Irish Rifles entered
DeWet's Dorp on April under Cap
tain McWhlnnie and demanded the sur
render of the town which was readily
given. Captain McWhinnie was sur
prised to hear that Boer force was ap-
preaching and he promptly retreated to
Reddersburg.
General DeWet, fresh from his
brilliant victory at Sannas Post, fol-
lowed the retreat along a range of kopjes
for hours. The two opposing forces
were in camp on different sides of the
range. General DeWet knew all about
the British positions and movements
but the Irish were quite unaware of the
proximity of the Beers. They blund-
cred again as at Sannas Post and the
scouts were not alert.
"Before sunset DeWet had the Brit
ish force in his power after an engage
ment which lasted all the afternoon.
The Irish made . most brilliant de-
fense, but their fate was never in
doubt. During the afternoon DeWet
sent 800 burghers to cut off their re-
treat and he then moved forward q
small force of Beers to the top of the
kopjes held by the British. The latter
boldly attacked the Beers then DeWet's
plan was suddenly developed.
"The British soon found themselves
surrounded. They had, indeed, fallen
into beautiful trap for they were com
manded at every point by the Boer
guns while their force was surrounded
on two kopjes with the Beers in be-
tween.
| cat sunrise the next morning the
Roer guns commenced to hurl she'll on
the devoted Irishmen who, however,
refused to surrender, but fought with
the utmost fierceness for three hours.
At 10 O'Clock, however, the British
commander saw that further resistance
would only involve useless waste OF
life, as his military position was quite
hopeless he therefore hoisted white
flag.
"Twelve officers sorrowfully handed
over their swords to General DeWet
and 459 non commissioned officers ant
men surrendered. All the prisoners
were forthwith sent to Thabanchu
under escort and Genreal DeWet con
tinued his march toward Wepener."

NINE WERE KILLED
Sunday Accident at the Paris
Exposition.
A CONDEMNED BRIDGE FELL
Nine Other Persons Were Severely
Hurt-Fair Officials Are Sharply
Criticised by the Press.

Paris. May IAN accident within
the exposition grounds caused the
death of nine persons and injured nine.
A temporary bridge, unable to with
stand the Sunday crowd, broke. The
injuries were mostly compound frac.
lures of the legs. One woman and q
child are still unidentified.
The accident threw pail over the
immense throng who had profited by
the magnificent weather to visit the ex-
position. Today's was probably the
record attendance. Not merely the in
terror OF the grounds, but the precinct
also were crowded, and the concourse
was particularly great along the
Avenue de Sufren, which forms the
northern boundary of the grounds.
Here is situated big side show. the

which the finishing touches were being
put today, crosses the Avenue de Sufren.
connecting the side show with the ex'
hibition. 1t was constructed OF wood,
with stucco facade and with a
plaster-made tower at each end.
Strangely enough the bridge had been
condemned only this morning. The
public was, therefore, not allowed to 60
upon the structure, and in this way a
disaster even more terrible than that
which occurred was averted.
The gay crowd was passing along the
avenue and some hundred or more per-
sons were walking beneath the bridge,
when suddenly an ominous crash was
heard. Before those underneath coulC
turn aside, the structure fell with
fearful crash, burying nearly 30.
A cry of horror arose from the spec
tators and mingled with the cries of the
victims. For moment nothing coult
be distinguished but cloud of dus
and plaster. A scene of the creates
excitement and confusion followed
But this was only for few seconds
Almost Immediately the crowd attacked
the debris in an effort to release thos'
