Texas Flood. subsidinE.

Houston, Sept. 26.-The flood presents no alarming features. The rise in the Colorado has done no great damage save to crops and bridges. There are no re- ports of further rise coming down. The bulk of the water has passed Austin, and the worst of it is past Bastrop. The re- ports sent out from Austin of the wash ing away of the towns of Marble Falls and San Saba prove to be without foun- dation. The first Trinity river rise is now getting into the lower Colorado, but as the people had been warned there is no loss of life reported. Another rise is reported at Denton, which is yet to reach Dallas and Fort Worth. The Brazos is still swelling as far down as Bryan and Navosta, but the water has not reached the c-arbaw ~St-ea= and Is falling below these points. There have been no local rains, so there is no great volume of wa ter to be carried off there, and water from the upper river will pass into the gulf without doing much damage. The damage to crops has been heavy in some portions of the valleys.

Freight on Street Cars.

In three German cities the street cars are used for the delivery of freight despite the grumblings of the people. The cities of Gers, Frost and Sprem- berg are not large places. but indus trially exceedingly active, especially In textiles. The power used on the tram ways Is electric or steam; the goods are transferred at the station into smaller trucks, or the railway cars are taken over the town lines. At Frost there are three morning and three aft ernoon deliveries. At Gera perambu- lator cars, with fiangeless wheels apart from guide wheels. have been tried with indifferent success. All these plants have been worked with a profit for several years.

Their orders when they left Harrisburg for Hagers- town were to meet this train at Bow mansdale, but when they reached Ross moyne the order was changed to meet the train at the junction.

GaIye.ton,n Dend.

The Galveston News list of storm vic tinrs represents a total of 3,S59 names. The indications are that not more than 1000 people will be actually accounted for. The News has made a diligent effort to get as complete a list of the dead as far as possible. It is reasonable to assume that 800 or 1000 people were lost whose names are not obtainable, which would make the total death list on Galveston island about 5000. The News Is of the opinion that the death list on the island is slightly below rather than above 5000. This statement Is made notwithstanding the fact that there are close observers at Galveston who are still estimating the death list on the island as high as 1000,
