FLOOD DAMAGE IN
TEXAS is SL.OOO,OOO
Many Lives Have Been Lost
In Raging Waters.
RAILROADS BADLY CRIPPLED.
Tied Up Worse Than Ever Before In
States Hstory-FiVe Hundred Wood
Choppers Cut of by Flood In Rich
land Creek Bottoms.

Dallas Tex, July 31-The only
rays of hope which penetrated the
gloom of the flood situation last night
was the weather reports which pre-
dicted fair skies and the fact that the
Brazos river at Waco was falling
again. Railroads are tied up worse
than ever before in the history of the
state. and in many places such heavy
rains have never been experienced,
The only railroad which has so far es-
timated its damage is the Internation-
al and Great Northern General Pas
senger Agent Price Of that road, says
the actual damage to the Internation-
al roadbed will reach 100000, and
that road is not the worst sufferer
Six lives lost was the total reported
yesterday in the San Marcos
valley and one at Wyle.
Losses Hard to Estimate.
An accurate estimate Of the losses
is impossible, but with the damage to
railroads, the drowning of live stock,
the washing away OF bridges, residen-
ces and business houses, in addition
to the damage to cotton and other
crops, 1t is safe to say that a million
dollars will be conservative amount
There was no rain in Dallas yester-
day, and the Trinity river is doing no
material damage here.
No news has come from the 400
to 500 woodchoppers who were cut OF
by the flood in Richland creek bot
toms. but it is not now thought that
any were drowned

The New York Fire.

The New York Journal, in it's report
of the fire which destroyed the Park
Avenue Hotel Saturday. says the death
of Mr.. John e. Walker of this city,
was caused by suffocation. The
Journal further says:
Nearly every one of those killed
might have been saved had they made
for the rear stairways instead OF the
main stat rways and the elevators.
Frederick Reed, manager of the
Park Avenue Hotel, admitted to a
reporter yesterday afternoon that the
burned hotel was without fire escapes,
that there wasn't line of fire hose in
the entire struc ture, and that he had
never seen Department Inspector
going through the house. Mr.. Reeds
explanation was that there were many
entrances to and exits from the hotel:
that these had always been considered
adequate, and 1t was supposed they
would be adequate, in case Of fire. The
fire laws governing New York City are
extraordinarily strict, particularly in
regard to fire escapes. Many inspectors
are employed at large annual expendi-
ture, and these are supposed TO visit
every hotel, theater, apartment house,
public building and tenement in the
i've different boroughs at stated inter
walls and make their reports to the de-
partment.
