FLOOD IN TEXAS.
THE LEONA KIVKR BECOMES A
RUSHING TO U RENT.
Whole Families Drowned and Towns
Completely Annihilated.
A. terrible catastrophe befell the
thriving town of Uvalde, Texas, Thurs
day night and there iB mourning in
many households. The calamity was
entirely unexpected. The treacherous
Leona river, swollen to a raging tor
rent by recent rains, rushed without a
moment's warning down upon the
town, submerging and wrecking many
houses and drowning a number of peo
ple. In this arid section such destruc
tiveness by the elements has never be
fore been chronicled.
In the excitement it is not definitely
known how many have been drowned.
It was about 2 o'clock in the morn
ing when tho flood came. Just as the
storm broko over the city a terrible
torrent of water rushed down the
Leona river, overflowing the banks of
that stream and flooding the lowlands
on either side to a depth of several
feet. The east side of the city is built
on lowland and was directly in the
path of tho water. All the houses in
this part of the town were submerged.
There were a number of miraculous es
capes and the rescuers and the rescued
performed many heroic nets.
An earthquake shock of some mo
ments duration was distinctly felt
during the night. At one place near
the city about a quarter of a mile of
heavy cracks appeared on each side of
tho Leona river, having apparently no
bottom.
The loss to tho Southern Pacific
Railroad Company is enormous, forty
miles of track and many bridges hav
ing been washed away. A rough esti
mate of the loss to property in general
and the railroad company will, as far
as known, reach a million and a half
dollars.
A Later Account.
Another and later account says that
the deluge did not come from tho
clouds, as was at first supposed, but
that it came out of the ground and its
bursting forth was caused by an earth
quake which rent the earth at several
places "along the Leona river, near
Uvalde. The cracks in the earth with
the water pouring therefrom are still
visible. The Leona river, so-called, is
a dry stream ten months of the year,
but it is known that a subterranean
basin and stream of water exists under
neath the dry bed, as flowing artesian
wells are obtained by boring a few
hundred feet. It is supposed that
this artesian basin of water is now
escaping through the cracks caused by
the earthquake. The shock of tho
earthquake was distinctly felt at Uval
de and at points for many miles
around.
TI1E FLOODED DISTRICT.
A special from San Antonio says:
The scene of destruction and desola
tion in the flooded district for a dis
tance of 100 miles west from here and
extending south from the Southern
Pacific railway to the Rio Grande 200
miles away, is simply terrible. Thous
ands of acres of pasture and farm land
is under water.
It is estimated that the damage to,
crops in the valley of tho Leona river
will reach $500,000, while in the val
leys of tho Saco and Sabine rivers the
losses will bo. fully as much or more.
Many thousands of cattle, horses and
sheep were swept away. Up to Friday
night all telegrams received by South
ern Tacific railway officials and for the
press came by the roundabout way of
El Paso, Pueblo and Kansas City, all
direct communication with Uvalde and
other flooded towns being cut off.
Latest reports received are more
alarming than the earlier ones. It is
still a matter of uncertainty as to the
number of lives lost, but additions to
the list of drowned are constantly
copiing.
About one-half the houses of Uvalde,
a town of 2,300 people, were carried
away, and there is much suffering
there.bnt no more fatalities are report
ed from that place. Nothing has yet
been heard from the settlement of
seventy-five families several miles be
low Uvalde, but there are still grave
fears that many if not all of them were
swept down by the torrent.
The President at Gray Gables.
President Cleveland arrived nt Gray
Gables, Buzzard's Bay, Mass., at 10:30

1" rom the Stories ;
of survivors tho loss of life at Hinck
ley is variously estimated at from one
to four hundred, and it is almost cer
tain the loss will equal two hundred.
It will be several days before the full
extent of the disaster will be known.
lUNHKEDS OF CHAKKE1) llODIES.
Dispatches of Suuday from Mora, a
neighboring town, state that one hun
dred and forty-eight bodies have been
taken out of Hinckley and places in
the vicinity. The neighboring town
of Pokama is wiped out. The eastern
Minnesota train which left St. Paul at
10 o'clock Saturday night took oOO
people on board anil moved westward
toward St. Cloud. The traiu has not
.been heard of since. It has not reach
ed St. Cloud, and has not gone back
to Hinckley. There is a general fear
that it has "been burned with all on
board. There is no chance that they
are alive, unless they have found a
stream or slough into which they
could go and escape the fire. .'
All is confusion and excitement
among the surviving people, who are
searching for their children, and chil
dren searching for their parents. The
death list increases every hour. Tho
wal's of the railroad round house and
of the schoolhouse are the only partB
of buildings in Hinckley which remain.
Every family in Pokama is homeless
and in danger of starving to death.
A freight trrin is in n ditch one and a
half miles west of Pokama. Twenty-
five people are in tho caboose and tho
fire is all around them. If ihey are
not rescued soon, all must perish.
THREE TOWNS IX ASHES.
A special of Sunday night from Pine
City says: Three towns, Hinckley,
Mission Creek and Pokama, now he in
ashes and more than 200 corpses lie in
the rcigion in the neighborhood of
Hinckley. The vast valley between
the Ketle river and Cross Lake is laid
waste, including several villages and
settlements.
Besides the towns that were reduced
to ashes, farms were swept clean by
the flames. The forests are still burn
ing fiercely aud rain is required to
drown the fires that are sweeping over
that vast region.
Whole families have been cremated.

RELIGIOUS READING.
THE HELP Or THE HOLT SPIKIT.
When Christ told his dlscip!es that it was
bost for them that he should go away, he
promised them that he would send unto them
the Comforter, even the Holy Spirit, which
promise was fulfilled on the day of Pentecost,
and since that day, the Holy Spirit has been
a necessary power in the life of every true
Christian. He is inseparable from the Father,
inseparable from the Son. When we en
deavor to comprehend the length, breadth,
and depth of this living reality, our minds are
lost in wonder. love and praise. Without the
Holy Spirit we can do nothing. Even when
we pray, it is the Spirit that inditeth our
petitions for us, for we know not what to
pray for aright.
The Spirit enables us to see ourselves as we
are, poor, blind, and lost in the dark waves of
sin, and when he has opened our eye?, it is
nriM, hdu sya w us.
"lsenoid the Lamli of Ow that taketh awav
the sin of the world." He opens our blind
eyes that we may behold wondrous things
out ' "d s law. He comforts us in sorrow,
""i iy,ssin. through toe deep waters of
ennn s in.iis wmon lie in our paiaway, ii is
he that helnR n tn look to JWiis who it-ill
gladly carry our burdensand help us to pass
through them all. and 4rig us safo on' the
other slior, free from earth's pollution, with
our garments washed and made white in the
blcod of the Lamb. It is the Spirit that
gives light, that Light which lighteth every
man that cometh into the world. It is the
Spirit that gives power, power over our foes,
foes within and foes without.
it is the Spirit that gives strength to over
come, and have enabled us to conquer, he
will give us strength to stand. Who would
not be led by the Spirit ? Who would not
have his presence ever dwelling within, to
sanctify us unto all truth ? Let us depend
moie upon the Spirit and less Ujon ourselves.
Let us feel more the importance of his help.
Let us pray more earnestly for his power in
us. then we may make our Christian lives
show to those around that we are abiding in
Christ, and the Holy Spirit abiding in us.

nOW HIS CHILD LED HIM.
Several years ago my brother was in
Spr ngileld one clnrle-s day, with about
half an hour on his hands before train
time. Strollinsr alonir near the depot, ho
noticed a tidv restaurant, and went in for
lunch. A bright boy came to take his order,
and as soon as he brought it sat down to his
lessons. A respectable man. evidently the
proprietor, was seated near the lire, with a
disabled foot propped up in a chair. When
my bro her had llnished his meal, he ap
proached him. saying : "You have a bright
boy to wait on your customers.
"Yes, indeed," said the man, with parental
pride. "I couldn't hire so eood a bov as that :
he is my son, and was the means of my open
ing this place instead of keeping a saloon,
which wos the way I got my living for some
years; and I'll tell you how it was. He came
from school one day heavy-hearted, and
when I asked him what was the matter he be
gan to ry but couldn't speak. After I had
urged him, he said that in recess some of the
boys asked each other what their
fathers did. One said that his
father was a plumber: another that
his was a carpenter; and when they
came to my boy, who said his father kept a
saloon, one of them said : 'That's the mean
est kind of business,' and I could see that
they all felt the same way. That made me
feel awfully ashamed, so. father, if you will
only give up the saloon, I '11 do anything I
can to help jrou. ith that he threw his
arms around my neck, and, sobbing, begged
me to eive it up. Well, the end of it
was I sold out. I don't make so much
I money as I did selling liquors, but it
! goes farther, and we have a happy
I home. My wife can help along because
1 decent people come here for their meals,
but before I did not like to have her around,
there was so much low talk. My Ihv has
been as irood as bis word. I couldn't ask
for a letter son."
My brother thanked the man for his con-
aft(xr iviny v.ia heart v iinnrov.il
wenthi's way. Julia Billings, in the L ttle

SPIRITUAL JOY.
The plain truth is this, that what hinders
our iov is allowed sin. The power of s n to
do this is great. This little hand, said White
field, niacins' his hand near his eyes, as he
was preaching in the Held, while the glorious
. A 1 J ... . . ... . K Uia Imoma
was uuuuiuk iirnuuu
his beams
this little hand hides all the lustre of the sun
from my eye?, and so a little sin may evolve
the soul in darkness, thoufth the spiritual
world be all brkht as heaven itself. But
should we therefore be content to live in dark
ness. 01 set ourselves with more resolution
against all forms and decrees of sin? The
latter is the course of dutv. and is it not also
the course of wisdom?
Is it idle to ask the question. hat man
ner of person oujrht we to be. in all holy con
versation and trfxllincss? Whv is it we do
not understand lhatour only concern in this
world is, to keep a guileless spirit, a con
science void of offence Alas, that we
should offer such things as love oi lucre, or
nre-eminenee. or of sensual treasure, or
iealous. and envious and irrascible feeling,
to rest in our bosoms, and stay here from
day!to day, and week to week, and month to
month, in the nlace which should be ever
sacred to the srracious affections; in the
temple of the Holv Ghost!.
Alas, that we should be so infrequent, so
ouMorv. so cold in pravcr; so seldom in fast-
i n p so formal and lift-li-st in the duties of
the sanctuary : that wo should be so uncir-
ciiinsnect in speech, so little intent on walk
ing in the Spirit: in all the pursuits of life so
regardless of the great princije 01 1 nriMian
morals: which demands that we do all things,
even to easing and drinking, to the glory of
God. Here is the secret of our wont of re-
licious joy, of our spiritual doubts and fears ;
and also of our readiness to justify them.
THE UTI NO YOUTH.
There is iio place on earth like a dying bed.
There is no hour in man's brief journey across
this world, like a dying hour; so solemn, so
impressive, and so full of dread interest to
each individual when he arrives ctthat place,
and feels that his hour has come. Then the
soul makes a rnuse. She looks back on a re-
ccdinir world, and onward into a dark un-
fathomed eternitv. There is no retreat. The

Keeper of Records R. Ij. C. White
Gives Some Figures.
Mr. R. L. C. AVhite, supreme keeper
of records and seal of the Knights oi
Pythias of the world, in his report be
fore the meeting at "Washington, eaya
that the net gain of the order in the
past two years has been 1,007 subordi
nate lodges and 85.691 members.
While neither of these gains are so
large as the preceding two years, it is,
considering the wide-spread financial
depression of the past season, remark
ably encouraging. Tho total amount
disbursed for relief by the subordi
nate lodges in the year 1893 was
81,205,135.98, while the year 1892 and
1893 it was 2,379,374.13. The total
growth in numerical strength of the
order during the thirty years of its ex
istence is shown by a comparison of
the number of subordinate lodges and
members then and now. In 18G4 'there
were three subordinate lodges, with a
total membership of seventy-eight,
while at present there are 0,008 lodget
with a membership of 443,615.
