Young Men Begin NOvitiate With
Endurance Test-MOre Worldly
Youth Rides Through Flood.

While the flood and the lame con-
dition of the railroad have made
travel into or out of Brownsville
more or less difficult the past few
DAYS there are still hardy souls
whom circumstances or desire have
kept on the move, and little stories
of their Journeys are heard daily
about town. Caledonia Cara, JF-,
tells of being caught in the YZnaga
ranch five miles southwest OF Sc
bastian, by the advance of the food.
and of driving to the station TO
catch the south bound train, Satur-
day evening For three miles the
way lay through water of varying
depth, at times above the floor OF
the buggy in which he was sitting,
forcing him to stretch his legs over
the dash board to keep his feet
dry. He finally reached Sebastian
without accident in time for the
train that carried him, however,
only as far as Harrington, from
which town the problem of getting
to Brownsville before the beginning
of certain performance in the Mat
amor0s Theater, was easily solved
by one who knew how.
Two novices of the ObIate order,
Buel Louis and Frank Boelued, on
their way to Brownsville from San
Antonio finished their Journey in a
way more elementary than exciting.
| They arrived at Harrington Saturday
| evening and at eight Sunday morn
| ing started on foot down the track
| reaching San BenitO at ten From
there they telegraphed TO the rectory
here and were told to continue afoOt
| to OlmitO where they would be met
| by one of the priests with buggy
The program was followed out to the
letter, Olmito being reached at seven
o'clock and Brownsville a few hours
! later

After a rally which reached IS
in Union Pacific and a in
Southern Pacific, Reading and New
York Central, the market weakened
again, but did not react to its pre-
vious low prices. The general list
did not show much sympathy with
the rally and became quiet with a
few new weak spots cropping out.
The Hartman stocks lowered

of the rest got away from the Har-

TRAMPED TO BROWNSVILLE.
Unusual Experience of Rev. L. II.
BuIress, the Baptist Minister.

\ tramp of eight miles from Har-
lingen to San Benito on Friday
night and of 10 miles from Barreda
ito Brownsville over the railroad
track yesterday served to remind
Rev. l.. r. Burress, the well known
Baptist minister of this city of the
eventful days of 1S61-65, when he
ttramped as one of Gen. Lees foot
cavalry over many weary mile.
DIR. Burress was at Harrington when
the rise in the Arroyo caused the
suspension of rail traffic to Browns
Vile. Fearing that the bridge might
be washed away and an indefinite
stay at Harlingen result, he set out
Friday night on foot for San Be
nito.
From the latter place, his son
brought him as far as Barreda yes
terday morning by buggy. and from
there he walked in, making the 10
miles in about five hours, of which.
however, one hour was spent at his
farm at Olmito DR.. Burress stood
the tramp well, as becomes a war
veteran, and reached home yester-
day afternoon little the worse for
his unusual experience.

SAN BENITO LETS
WATER THRONGH DAM

San Benito. Texas, Sept. Last
night, owing to the pressure of water
in the canal at San BenitO and the
failure of one of the locks to act
properly, the dam was cut to let the
surplus water out and avoid flooding
some of the adjacent plantations. The
water ran into the resaca bed and
soon reached the railroad trestle a
few blocks from the station A levee
was thrown across the track at the
east end of the trestle and kept the
water from running into town. 1t
rose several inches over the tracks
but is reported as having done no
harm to the trestle so far.
The water in the resaea, where it
becomes part of the San Benito canal
fell five feet in "a hours, as a result
of cutting the dam

Uncle Sam declines to dispute the

bears had their genesis. AS the
pole is merely point in the center
