Repetition at Austin, Tex.,
of Johnstown Disaster.
MANY LIVES WERE LOST.
Austin, Tex., April 7-This city
is tonight in pitch darkness with a
raging river one mile wide and
/ swollen far beyond its natural banks,
roaring and surging through all the
lower portions of the town, having
spread destruction and death in its
wak*. In addition to the va6t loss
to property interests it is calculated
tbat between 30 and 40 lives have
\een sacrificed and the reports' com
iog in from the tributary country to
night do not tend to improve matte?-p
The flood is not unlike the disastrous
Johnstown flood some years ago, in
that a raging river, already swollen
far beyond its capacity bore too
heavily upon an immense dam span
Bing the river here, breaking it and
letting loose a reservoir of water 30
miles long, half a mile wide and 60
feet deep to aid in carrying destroc
tion down the valleys of the Colorada
river
The great dam in the Colorado
river gave way at noon today from
the enormous pressure of water and
debris, and with a roar and crash
-?wept the valleys below the city,
wrecking the immense light and
and power plant drowing eight work
?sen Following is a list of the
known dead, incluling those killed in
the power house : Frank Pincet,
Frank Kinmey, Walter Flower, Wal
ter Johnson. Alfred Johnson, Fitz
gerald, Walter BossmaB, Joseph
Jiewmen, Dick Morris (colored),
John Proes, Charles Burcbard and
?ix negroes
Last Wednesday night it began to
rain very hard at this place, the
storm extending north of here along
the water sheds of the Colorado river
The precipitation continued until this
morningr, the downfall aggregating
six inches All this vast quantity of
water along the water sheds of the
Colorado river rapidly Rwelled the
current until at S o'clock- this morn
ing the river, which had been rising
steadily since last evening, was a
raging torrent, having risen 40 feet
within ten hours
After daylight this morning it be
came evident that the situation was
?crions. The river began to rise so
rapidly that it was evident that the i
immense dam and all the power i
houses and contents, costing $1,500,
000, were in imminent danger To 1
add to the terror of the situation '
.mall frame houses, trees and debris
of every description in varying qusn
lilies began descending the river
and piling up against the upper face
of the dam This weight was aug
mented every minute until by 10
o'clock there was a mass of debris
lodged against the dam which threat
ened the safety of the structure In
addition millions of ga'lons of water,
muddy from its long journey, were
whirling and plunging to the 60 foot i
fall, and it was evident that no wall
- could withstand the immense pres- (
sure The crisis came shortly after
ll o'clock wben suddenly with a
report like the roar of the oc-an tba
great w<>dge, 25 feet hi^h. 500 feet
wid? and about 8 feet thick, rolled
out of the cen r? section of the dam,
?own the face of the 60 foot depth
into tjje liver be'ow This left a
yawning gap in the very middle of
the dam through which the debris
and water fiercely poured while the
food, already raging, was threaten
ing everything in us path, this sud
den breaking of the dam but serv
ing to edd to toe horror of the catas
trophe.
The released water poured into the
power house, catching eight em
ployes at work there, drowning all of
them instantly The breaking of the
dam caused wild excitement in the
city The telegraph companies at
one wired to places below to look
out for the great wave and runners
were disoatched on horses lo notify
those living in the valleys below the
city The telegraphic messages
served as a timely warning to many,
but the rushing waters outstripped
the horsemen and many bouses were
picked up aad swept away before the
occupants could get together their
vaiuab'es

Frankfort, Cy., .April 7 -A clash
between the opposing militia was
narrowly averted here tonight. Two
soldiers at the State house were
arrested for drunkenness by the police
and their comrades rescued them.
A number of shots were fired but no
one was hurt Chief of Police Williams
summoned his full force and went to
the State house to demand the
prisoners. The Beckham military
authorities intercepted the police and
dissuaded them from attempting to
to capture the men who had started
the trouble and who bad been rescued
by their eomrades. The soldiers of the
opposing administration were drawn
up ready for action The soldiers of
the State house remained drawn up
ready for action for several minutes
after the police and deputy sheriffs
withdrew, but later ali of them, ex
cept* those doing night watch duty,
went inside the State buildings and
the excitemeut abated
The Custom House Row.
Mr C A. Macatee, special agent
of the treasury department, conclud?
ed his investigation yesterday into
the conduct of affairs at the custom
house His report will reach the
hands of the secretary of the treas
ury Monday morning, but when
action will be taken is not knowe.
Mr Macatee has made a thorough
investigation, which iasted exactly
one week When he erst arrived he
was inclined to give lit tie credence
to the report that liquor was stored
in the custom house Reports were
strong enough to lead him to believe
that it had been stored there, bat he
was not inclined to believe that he
would be able to find any lhere
Last Sunday morning, when the
empty kegs were found, investigation
began aright
U'Brien's confession was not ac?
cepted, in the face of the denial of
the collector, deputy coilector, jani?
tor aud cleaners. This circumstance
led everyone to believe that the
investigating committee was in hold
of evidence of a veiy strong nature
The main point of evidence is the
barrel of rum Mr Ostendorff claims
it to have been his personal property,
but Mr Macatee, it is said, has rea
son to doubt this The internal rev
enue department can trace every
gailon cf liquor that makes a legiti
mate start from the distillery Tois
particular keg-or, rather, barrel
of 31 gallons of rum has parsed
through the required regulations of
the department, except the storing of
it in the custom house Evidence of
a graver nature has been found
against certain parties in the custom
house, but for reasons it is withheld
The la6t witness called up was a
man named Scott, a former employe
about the building His evidence or
testimony was used to corroborate
certain information gained mostly by
Mr Macatee on the outside On
Friday Mr Macatee devoted a great
deal of his time to outside woik 3nd
secured valuable evidence in the
case
It cannot be stated authoiitatively
wbat his recommendation is, but it is
rumoied that he recommends a very
lively shaking up of the collector's

Geo Young, commanding in North

exhausted by the necessity of constant

the towns in his jurisdiction, that the
insurgents are returning to the di?tric
and killing the amigos, and that it is
necessary for him to inflict punishment

representations. He says his forces

The Best Advertising
j -
Evidence that the live popular
! newspapers are, of all advertising
j mediums far the best has accumula
ted until it may be fairly called a de
? monstration.
The most enterprising and success
ful merchants have learned thia truth
by experience and their testimony is
practically unanimous in favor of the
newspaper as the best means
of reaching and attracting the trade
Mr John Wanamaker is the most
famous and perhaps the most sue
cessful American merchant, and he
advertises almost exclusively in news
papers ile is said to spend more
than 3^00,000 a year in this way,
and be attributes his immense success
mainly to his newspaper advert?s
ing
His two magnificent department
stores, one in Philadelphia and the
other in New York, are said to have
netted him nearly {4,000 OOO last
year, and he is advertising more than
ever this year, and almost entirely in
newspapers
Frank Daniels, manager of Wal
lack's theatre in New York, took "a
hand primary," so to speak, the other
night on an important question, in
which the business public throughout
this country and the press is directly
interested The story is told as fol
lows :
"Between the acts ushers dietrib
uted among the audience slips with a
brief print statement, politely asking
the recipient to indicate by a check
mark in the list of various advert?s
ing forms employed which one had
attracted bim to the performance
newspapers, billboards, window lith
ographs or something else The
people seemed to take kindly lo the
idea and the response was most liber
al. Eleven hundred slips were
handed to the ushers, and of that
number 991 had been attracted by
the newspaper solely "
As the Richmond Ledger says, in
commenting upon this incident :
"The newspaper is the thing.''
There is no other medium of adver
tising that compares with it in advan?
tage to the business man
This incident indicates that the
general public as well as shrewd
business men, understand that news
papers famish incomparably the best
means of advertising -Atlanta Jour
