the order-a pair Of slippers, In which
she was to appear as Cinderella at a
fancy dress ball given by the duke of

mass of diamonds, the value Of the
stones being considerably over 5000
while the cost of mounting them was
upward of $3.50.

The Indications tonight are that tho

several days In North Texas is about
over. and with no more rain avenues
OF travel will be reopened within two
or three days.
On the Texas and Pacific transconti-
mental line there are eighteen serious
vasl1outs between this city and Baird,
lao miles northwest. There has been
no train in, from California or out In
that direction since Friday morning,
and railroad officials do not expect to
reopen traffic before Tuesday.
The st. Louis and San Francisco has
lost miles OF track between this city
and Brady and one steel bridge over
the Leon River Is reported to have
been destroyed. The Frisco officials
are making no effort to operate trains,
traffic having been abandoned entirely
on the Fort Worth division. 81
Route Abandoned.
The Rock Island has abandoned its
Dallas-Fort Worth service entirely on
account OF soft track and the cuts

tracks too dangerous to be attempted.
At the passenger station OF the
Texas and Pacific here hundreds OF
people are waiting for tho traffic to
be reopcned.

The crest OF the flood reached Fort

Fully 5000 persons, principally of the
