Flood Cost Texas $10,000,000.
Estimate ol tha Damage Caused by Rushing
Waters ol the Brazos.
Estimates made by cotton buyers
as to the loss resulting from damage
to the cotton crop in the Brazos are
that not less than two hundred square
miles of cotton bearing land ha3 been
flooded. Basing the loss on five cent
figures the crop destroyed on these
plantations was worth almost 4,000,
000. Well informed persons are of the
opinion that this unprecedented rise
in the Brazos has cost the people of
Texas little less than $10,000,000.
Thousands of mules have been drown
ed, all of the domestic animals have
perished, rented houses and negro
quarters have been swept away. The
gins are nearly all ruined and hun
dreds of plantation stores, carrying
big stocks ot general merchandise, are
under water. Not a bridge has es
caped and not a train has passed over
the Santa Railroad between Brcnham
and Milano for a week.
The Huston and Texas Central of
ficials state that the road between
Calvert and Heme will have to be
virtually rebuilt, owing to the flood,
and that the cost will be not less than
$500,000.

Porto Rico's Coffee-
Cupfuls ol the Delicious Beverage io be
Given Away to Visitors at the Export
Exposition.
Little Puerto Rico intends to ad
vertise her coffee in a novel and pleas
ing way at the National Export Ex
position, to be held in Philadelphia
next fall, by giving out cupfuls of cof
fee to the thirsty. This method was
decided upon at a meeting of the
prominent planters of the island held
at San Juan some days ago.
There are about 3000 planters in
the island, and they are desirous of
letting the world know what a superi
or article they grow. They are sure
the Exposition will furnish the proper
medium to advertise their product.
The intention of the Puerto Ricans
is to establish a pavilion on the Ex
position grounds and give every visit
or who wants it a cup of excellent
coffee, served in unique native cups.

pick berries.

Law as to Old Judgements
Judge McClure of Union County,
handed down an opinion last week
involving a principle of law which is
seldom called into requisition and
of more than ordinary interest to the
legal profession and to parties who
hold judgement of more than twenty
years' standing against debtors.
The case was one where the plain
tiff held a judgement against the de
fendant for twenty-two years without
having ever been revived. A few
months ago an attachment execution
was issued against the share of the
defendant in his deceased fathers
estate. The defendant thereupon
moved the court strike off the attach
ment because the latter was more than
tweniy years old, and setting up the
doctrine that the presumption of pay
ment had arisen after twenty years.
The plaintiff proved a payment of a
few dollars on the judgement before
the full twenty years had expired, and
the court in the decision says that the
payment revived the judgement for
twenty years more from the date of
payment, and therefore refused to
strike off the attachment.
The court holds that slight evidence
of payment of any part of a judgement
within twenty years rebuts the pre
sumption of payment of a judgement
more than twenty years old.
