SEVERAL TEXAS PEOPLE DEAD.
8t. Louis, Mo., May 21.—Fragmental
detail* of a fatal head-end collision on
the Cotton Belt road reached St. Louis
at an early hour this morning. The
accident resulted in death outright of
seven people and the serious Injury of
eighteen others.
The collision occurred at 7 o'clock
last night. 860 mile* south of St. Louis,
between the stations of Humphreys and
Goldon, Ark., caused by the crew of the
regular passenger train disobeying
orders. •
Ah a result, the engine of the passen-
ger train collided with the engine of a
freight. All cars of the passenger train
were thrown from the track and upset.
TKXANS KILLED.
Pink Bluff, Ark., May 21.—Keports

drowning by the crew and four were
reached from house tope.
A report reached hero to-night from
the government steamer, Wichita, aent
to the Iowor river with provisions by
Pine Bluff citizens, that 650 more people
were fed and rescued from their perilous
positions.
About St. Louis.
St. Louis, Mo., May 23.—The viver
stood 34.7 feet this morning, a fall of
but one tenth inch since evening. The,
upper Mississippi has risen from twoi
to eight-tenths at various points since 1
Saturday. The Missouri is rising be-
tween its mouth and Herman and failing
above Ihst place. Reports so far in
from the flood district in this immediate
vicinity do not note any material change
in damage done. On the contrary, there
is some improvement, in this respect.
Several local railroad tracks in East St.
Louis have either reappeared above the
water or will admit of the passage of
trains, and all tracks are deriving benefit
from the recession of the flood.
A Bad Crovasse.
New Orleans, La., May 23.—A cre-
vasse occurred at Tessier plantation. St.
.lames parirh, forty-six miles above
Vow Orleans. It is impossible to close
the break, which is ten feet deep and
widening rapidly. This break is only a
few miles south of Great Kite, crevasse
of ninety, feet and twelve miles below
the present Bannet Carre break. This
will prevent operations of the Missis-
sippi Valley snd Illinois Central rail-
roads. The result of this is the inunda-
tion of some of the richest plantations j
ill the sussr. The river at New Orleans
is higher than ever known, but

The Pullman sleeper'was buried under
ten feet of water and divers have been
sent to the bottom to-night to drag for
the bodies. The list of the dead and
injured is said to be larger than reported
this morning.
The Cotton Belt, owing to high water
and the wreok, has arranged to send
trains via Little Rock over the Missouri
Pacific.
Rev. Mr. Hudgens, of Grapevine,
Texas, was seriously injured, and his
wife, whom he married night before last,
was killed.
William Chrlstal, of Denton, was
killed, and several other persons from
Texas were injured.
Land Commissioner McGauohey
declares in favor of contirminjf innocent
purchasers, of land, the grants to which
are contested by the state, to their titles.
That is the only platform on which a
man can stand ’who would require the
same degree of honesty by the state that
the law exacts from the Individual. It
is proper, because true and timely, to
add that Commissioner McGaughey has
never failed to put in a stroke for the
man who is trying by his toll to develop
Western Texas when he had a chance to
do it, whether as a legislator or in the
land office.—Fort Worth Gazette.
