DALLAS, Texas, April 27.—The storm death list is swelling and by the time all the precincts are fully reported the loss of life will undoubtedly be equal to any wind and water disaster experienced in Texas during the present generation. This whole section is still overflowed from the Trinity and its affluents. As yet only a small proportion of the inundated country has been heard from, as railroad operations are still suspended and telegraphic and mail facilities are meagre. Two more men were reported drowned yesterday, M. T. Royal and Matt McCall, at Kemp's Bridge, on White Rock creek, east of Dallas.
