FLOODS IN LONE STAR
STATE ARE RECEDING
FLOOD DAMAGE IN
TEXAS IS $1,000,000
BOXERS ATTACK VILLAGE.
Heavy Rains Have Ceased. Many Lives Have Been Lost
Situation Brighter. In Raging Waters.
RAILROADS RESUME TRAFFIC. RAILROADS BADLY CRIPPLED.
Many Lines Suffered Severe Losses
From the Floods, Especially the In
ternational and Great Northern.
Waters Claimed Four Lives.
Dallas, Te. , o .j - lining the
last 24 hours the aspect of the flood
situation in Texas has grown bright
er. The heavy rains have ceased
throughout ihe greater portion of the
state and the water has begun to ie-
cede in all the rivers and creeks. If
the fair weather continues, some of
the Texas railroads will begin run
ning their trains on time today, while
regular traffic will be re-established on
others within three or four days.
The Cotton Belt tracks are washed
out for 260 feet just west of Brandon.
The Missoni i, Kansas and Texas
bridge at Hillsboro has been repaired,
and trains were run over it yesterday,
although the track is still In had con
dition.
The International and Great North
ern road has resumed traffic north of
Palestine. The damage done to the
property of that road is said to be veiy
great. Nearly 1,000 feet of their
track is washed out at Richland creek,
and as much more at White Rock
creek, besides many smaller washouts.
Dallas was visited by another heavy
downpour early yesterday. Trinity
river is considerably over its banks in
many places, but little damage is re
ported.
Texas and Pacific railroad officials
state that the situation at Big Springs
is much improved, and unless there
is more heavy rain they expect to re
sume operations today or tomorrow.
The body of Mrs. J. G. Klliott, \\»ha
was drowned at Hillsboro Friday, has
been recovered.
A Mr. Hardy, who attempted to
cross a swollen creek at Elm Springs,
was drowned. This makes five drown*
Ings which have been reported as a
result of the Hood.
SHOT HER THROUGH THE HEART.
Then Blew His Ov/n Head Off with
the P.stol.
Springfield, .io., July 28.—Charles
Weyley, aged 25, of Norwood, Mo.,
shot and killed Miss Josephine Sher
idan, his former sweetheart, at her
home here, and then shot and killed
himself.
Miss Sheridan and her sister were
entertaining friends in the back yard
when Weyley rang the door bell, Miss
Sheridan went through the house to
the front door and almost immediately
four shots were heard. When mem
bers of the family reached the spot a
few minutes later both the girl and
Weyley were dead, stretched side by
side on the porch. Miss Sheridan
had been shot through the heart, while
the top of Weley's head had been
torn off. Jealousy probably prompt
ed Weyley to shoot Miss Sheridan
and then himself. They had known
each other for four years, and up to
a month ago had been engaged to be
married.
MASQUERADES AS OUTLAW.
In Guise ef Tracey, Seattle Man Nearly
Loses His Life.
Seattle, Wash., July 28.—William
Nixon tried to win a woman’s confi
dence in the guise of Outlaw Tracey
and is marly dead as a result of hia
act.
He told an actress in a music hail
that he was none other than the des
perado. and threatened her life it
she told. Later, when he re-entered
the theater he was attacked by a police
man and the proprietor, Joe Williams,
a brother of Deputy Sheriff Jack Wil
liams, who was wounded In a battle
with Tracey at Bothell, July 3. He
was pounded into insensibility, and
has not fully regained his faculties
yet. The mistake was discovered
when the man’s features were com
pared with a photograph at police
headquarters.
Tied Up Worse Than Ever Before In
State's History—Five Hundred Wood.
Choppeis Cut Off 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 Hie
Brazos river at Waco was falling
again. Railioads 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 $100,000, and
that load is not the worst sufferer.
Six lives lost was the total reported
yesterday—five in the San Marcos
valley and one at Wylie.
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, it is safe to say that a million
dollars will be a conservative amount.
There was no tain in Dallas yester
day. and the Trinity river is doing no
material damage here.
No news has come from the 400
to 5uo woodchoppers who wore cut oil
by the flood in Richland creek bot
toms, but it is not now thought that
any were drowned.
Thousands of Acres Inundated.
The Brazos river, after 'inundating
rich fanning lards for 200 miles south
of Waco, is reported failing steadily
at Waco, but rising slowly below
Hearne. It is estimated that there
are from 3,000 to 4,000 acres of culti
vated land under water near Hearns.
A rough estimate of the number of
acres of cotton and other crops prac
tically ruined in the Brazos bottoms
is 20,i<00.
The cane plantation of the state
penitentiary, on which 4,000 acres of
cane is growing, is in danger from the
overflow. The crop is valued at sev
eral hundred thousands dollars.
The names of those drowned in San
Marcos valley are not known, but two
were negroes. At Wylie Charles Da
vis attempted to save his wife and
baby from the flood. The baby was
lost.
Railroad Situation Deplorable.
The railroad situation in deplorable.
There are washouts on the Texas Pa
cific. both east and went of Dalia?,
north of Dallas on the Missouri, Kan- j
sas and Texas, and on the San An
tonio division of that road and the In
ternational and Great Northern. The
San Antonio and Aransas Pass is tied
up between Burley and Lott, about 30
miles south of Waco, and the Texas
Cential between Whitney and Dublin.
A work train plunged through a
bridge near Royse, on the Missouri.
Kansas and Texas yesterday, and the
engineer, fireman and brake-man went
down with the engine, all sustaining
injuries.
Are Repulsed by Body of Troops and
Many Killed.
Victoria, B. C., July 31.—Late Ori
ental advices were received by the
steamer Olympia, which has reached
here from Yokohama.
A somewhat sciious disturbance
took place at Kuro. About 700- blue
Jackets troni warships in the harbor
invaded three inns, smashed all the
furniture and were with difficulty re
duced to order after nearly three hours
rioting.
The alleged cause was that the men
w me enraged because ihe innkeepers
h id opposed the attendance of Geishas
at the entertainment recently given to
British sailors.
Because the magistrate of Yang
Haien would not give them permission
to destroy the Christian churches in
that town, some 2,000 boxers attacked
the village. They were met by the
troops and 20 of them wore killed, and
their bodies displayed in public places.
One of the leaders, who was captured,
was tortured and executed in public,
and now it is the Christians who are
causing trouble in China. The con
verts of Shan Si and their priests com
plain that the indemnity paid on ac
count of the boxer outrages was not
great enough, and the converts have
attacked villages for the purpose of
indemnifying themselves.
Details were received of the attack
on Bishop Moore, Revs, fi'ppenzeller
and Swearer, and the Misses Moore
and Melvin by Japanese coolies in Ko
rea. The coolies, who were carrying
Bishop Moore’s rickshaw, stopped to
talk with a friend, and the bishop lost
his temper and rapped the coolies over
the knuckles, whereupon the coolies
called out, and a lot of Japanese camo-
ed in the vicinity rushed at the mis
sionaries and stoned them. Bishop
Moore was rather severely hurt.
PEOPLE IN PERIL
OF SEISMIC SHOCKS
Fleeing Panic Stricken From
Los Animas, Cal.
TOWN IN EARTHQUAKE’S GRASP.
EPIDEMIC OF EYE DISEASES.
Contagion Prevailing Among School
Children of Manhattan.
New York, July 31.—Contagious
eye diseases have reached the propor
tions of a full fledged epidemic among
the school children of Manhattan, ac
cording to a report of Health Commis
sioner Ledle to the board of educa
tion.
The commission recently appointed
12 specialists to go as far as they could
in the fortnight of the school year
then remaining. They examined 55,-
470 children In 3C schools and learned
that no less than 6,670, or 12 per cent,
exhibited contagious eye diseases.
Of these, 2,328 were of the severest
type of trachona, necessitating almost
immediate operation. In the opinion
of the examiners of all these children
they should be excluded from the
schools to prevent further Infection.
The commissioners asked that a
room be set apart in each building
suitable for medical examinations. To
this the board agreed. Several of its
members expressed an opinion, how
ever, that the reports of the special
examiners had been grossly exagger
ated.
Buildings Crumbled and Swayed-Eartn
Seemed to Lurch From North to
South and Then Twist Back Again.
Great Property Damage.
Los Animas, Cal., July 31.—Tho
people of this city and vicinity are
terror-stricken, and are fleeing from
their homes to places of safety on ac
count of the increasing severity of the
earthquakes that have visited this sec
tion since the night of the 27 instant:,
since which time it is estimated 75
distinct shocks have been felt.
The most severe shock occurred at
1:20 o’clock this morning, the earth
seemed to lurch from south to north
and then twisted back again, destroy
ing brick walls and piling everything
indoors into unrecognizable heaps,
toppling over heavy iron safes and de
stroying thousaniTs of dollars’ worth
of goods. Citizens are leaving town
by train and in all available vehicles.
Three distinct shocks were recorded
between i:25 and 7:30 this morning,
and the latter disturbances added
much to the terror of the inhabitants.
President Benjamin Ide Wheeler, of
the University of California, was com.
municted with by telephone and ad
vised the people to quit the town as
soon as possible. He also advised
that the doors of residences and places
of business be left open so that thi^’
indoors might escape to the streets
without delay in the event of further
disturbances. The advice of Presi
dent Wheeler was communicated to
the people at once, and was Immedi
ately acted on.
It is impossible to estimate the finan
cial loss at this time with any degree
of accuracy, but it is believed that the
disturbance of the last three or four
days have damaged at least $30,000
worth of property.
Reports from other sections of the
valley probably will increase the
amount by many thousands.
No loss of life is yet reported.

The Presbyterian church, a largo and
handsome brick structure, was razed

The shock seemed to have had a
spiral motion. Goods were hurled
from shelves of stores and piled In
the middle of the rooms. Even such
heavy articles as desks were thrown
about. Not a chimney is left stand
ing in the town. All brick walls are
badly damaged, but frame structures
generally escaped serious injury. In
a drug store not a single bottle es
caped, and a saloon was flooded with
liquor from broken bottles.

SITUATION IS THREATENING.
Brigadier General Gobin of Pennsyl
vania National Guard Says He Will
Also Call Out Batteries of Artillery
If Conditions Warrant.
Shenandoah, Pa., July 31.—Nearly
all of the residents of this town were
up all night awaiting with anxiety the
arrival of the militia. It was notice
able that the pickets who have been
guarding fhe approaches to the mines
were not on duty this morning, but if
they had been their vigilance would
not have been rewarded, as no per
son was venturesome enough to run
the gauntlet after the exciting experi
ences of yesterday.
Brigadier General Gobin, Pennsyl
vania national guard, accompanied by
the Pottsville and Pino Grove compa
nies of the Fourth regiment, and all
of the Schuylkill county companies of
the Eighth regiment, arrived here at
6:30 o’clock this morning. To an As
sociated Press correspondent he said
that in. addition to these two compa
nies of the Fourth regiment he has
ordered out the entire Twelfth and
Eighth regiments, and the governor’s
troop. If he finds that the conditions
here warrant it, he intends calling out
the batteries of artillery.
It is impossible to obtain the names
of the wounded foreigners. Even
the doctors who are attending them do
not know their names.
The physicians are looking after
the wounds of 20, and have little hope
for the recovery of at least two. Police
man Yacopsky is still in a precarious
condition, but the other wounded po
licemen are doing well.
Joseph Beddell, who was reported
to have died on the way to the Min
ers’ hospital, is still alive at that in
stitution, hut small hopes are enter
tained of his recovery.
The order to the troops was issued
after 1 o’clock this morning and detai's
were sent to Pottsville, Minersville,
Schuylkillhaven and other towns in
this vicinity to summon the members
of the Eighth and Twelfth regiments
to duty. Although the guardsmen are
scattered throughout the county, sev
eral commands were mobilized hero
in about two hours after the call.
Considerable delay was experienced
securing the necessary 20 signatures
to the call upon the governor for
troops. .Most of the citizens declined
to append their names for fear of tho
boycott likely to follow.
Councilman Geoige W* Goodem, of
Pottsville, was present when the first
outbreak of rioters occurred. He was
seized by one of the rioters, but he said
in holding his place on a train he had
taken to reach home, he burned his
hand by grasping the steam cock of
the locomotive. Two machinists of
the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and
Iron companies works were beaten
and taken to the Pottsville hospital.

FAST CLOSING ON CASTRO.
Downfall of President of Venezuela
Seems To Be Very Near.
Willenstad, July 31.—The eastern
ports of Venezuela, including Barcelo
na, have been abandoned by President
Castro, all of whose forces and re
sources are being concentrated near
La Victoria, wnich is three days dia-
tant from Caracas, and which is near
the mountainous district of Guarico,
where the advance guard of the revolu
tionists under General Mendoza ap
peared some days ago.
General Mendoza’s forces retreated,
however, to join General Mateo’s
army, which today was in the neigh
borhood of El Sombrero and ad. ±ne-
ing by forced marches. Once thesa
two forces effect a junction it is ex
pected that they will take the offen
sive against President Castro. Tha
situation of the government is far
from clear, notwithstanding the revo
lution seems lacking in unity and di
rection.
Although there is much opposition
to President Castro, he still controls
the situation and a single defeat in
flicted to the revolutionists probably
would render him the arbiter of tha
country’s future. The president in
tends to leave Caracas for La Victoria
Thursday. The revolutionists have
reappeared on the outskirts of Ca
racas.
The United States ship Potomaa

KAISER PARDONS HILDEBRAND.
Young Lieutenant Had Been Confined
In Fortress for Manslaughter.
Berlin, July 31.—Emperor William
has ]>«rdoned Lieutenant Hildebran-l,
who was sentenced to two years’ im
prisonment in a fortress for the killing
of Lieutenant Blaskowltz, In a duel
last November. The affair attracted
widespread attention because Bias-
kowitz was shot and killed on th«
morning of his w'edding.
The duel, which took place at Instep
burg, East Prussia, following an epl«
ode in which lieutenant BlaskowiU,
while Intoxicated at his bachelor's
dinner, struck Lieutenant Hildebrand.
A regimental court of honor decided
that tne duel was unavoidable. An
investigation developed the fact thal
Lieutenant Blaskowitz awoke the day
after his bachelor dinner without any
recollection of the altercation and
went to visit his fiancee, whence ha
was recalled to fight the duel.
Lieutenant Hildebrand served only
seven months of his sentence. Mili
tary men* explain the pardon by saying
that Lieutenant Hildebrand acted slm-
ply as the laws of honor required;
that he had to fight and kill his oppo
nent if he could.
AUTHOR KIPLING’S TROUBLES.
HAS DEPRESSING EFFECT.
Riot at Shenandoah Grea-tly Deplored
at Strike Headquarters.
Wilkesbarre, Pa„ July 31.—The
riot at Shenandoah last night has had
a depressing effect at strike headquar
ters. President*!itchell was up early
and asked for' newspapers. After
reading the account of the trouble ho
was asked if he had anything to say
for publication and he replied:
"I am very sorry this thing lias hap
pened; but until I receive some in
formation from District President Fa
hey, I shall make no comment. Later
in the day I may Issue a statement.’’
The Ninth regiment, national guards
of Pennsylvania, with headquarters in
this city, is under waiting orders. All
the local mine operators deplore tho
occurrence at Shenandoah. They say
the presence of the soldiers, however,
will encourage the operators to start
up thir mines, and after the collieries
in the Schuylkill district are put in
operation it will only be a question of
time until mines in other parts of the
strike belt resume, for the miners of
the Wyoming and Lackawanna valleys
will not be content to remain idle
while their brethren In other parts of
the region are working.
It is the history of past coal strikes
that the presence of the militia is al
ways an indication of the early re
sumption of the mining. Those of
the local operators who could be seen
today are of the opinion that the back-
bone of the strike is now broken.
The national board member, John
Fallon, who arrived at President Mitch
ell’s headquarters today, would not ad
mit, however, that the affair at She
nandoah, unfortunate as K was, would
change the situation. He said the
great bulk of the strikers were order
ly and would continue peaceful. As
long as that Is the case the operators
could have little hope that their old
employes would return to work.
Pro Boer Sentiments of Aunt Causes
