Reduction in Crimes.

1t is claimed that the sarcity of
money and the difficulty of getting
supplies or cash advanced on the
cotton crop, as of yore, has caused
great reduction in the amount OF
liquor consumed, with a consequent
decrease in crime, as shown by the
criminal records of several parishes.

kyl eyenty-tWo hours IT rained il
fnis section OF the country and the
santa Satarina river rose gradually
all day. First 1t was thought that
there would be no lives lost in this
mood, but the water rose to a height
never before reached during the his.
tory of the city.
The scene is one of utmost hor-
ror, four whole city blocks on the
south side completely disappeared
and the place looks as thought moth
ing had ever been built there. The
water reached the electric light plant
at night and the complete darkness
which reigned added to the terror of
tie scene. Cries of the drowning
people coul dbe heard and the on
lockers were powerless to aid. When
daylight came the scene was indes-
crible. All through the flooded dis
trict groups of from ten to eighty
people could be seen huddled on the
tops of two story buildings entirely
surrounded by tumbling seething
mass of water. One by one these
houses disappeared with their hui
man freight. Nothing could live In
the wild current of the Santa Cata-
rina river which was rushing down
at the rate OF tewnty miles an hour.
The great steel plant suffered a
lost of nearly a million dollars In
the flood, and the smelter of the
Mexican Lead Company was cut off
from the city and submerged. 1t
is estimated that the loss at this
plant will be over three millions
dollars.
Reports state that the current in
the river was so swift that it ap-
peared to the stricken families who
lived in the vicinity to be nina
ture Niagara.
The buildings of Monterey, like
those of many other old Mexican ci-
ties, are in the majority of cases
composed of mud and mortar. These
adobe buildings when struck by the
food veritably dissolved and In
many instances the inhabitants are
reported to have been caught in the
falling material and rendered help
less, and drowned like rats in a
trap.
The food conditions are not alone
peculiar to the vicinity of Monterey,
but extend as far south as Saltfllo.
1t is reported that the city of Bag
dag, state of Tamaulipas, has been
badly damaged. Nine bridges ana
more than fifty miles of track have
been washed out and the light house
at Tampico swept away. No dam
age was done to the shipping in the
harbors Of Vera Cduz and Tampico.
The telegraph lines have been Grip
pied in the states of Guanajuato,
Coahuila, Vera Cruz, Neuvo, Leon
and Tamaulipas. The storm is the
most disastrous Mexico has experien-
,ed in recent years.
Latest reports state that 125
miles of track Of the National Rail-
way has been washed out. Rail-
way officials admit that rs miles
and IL bridges are goone and all
available wrecking trains are being
sent north.
