singularly effective in the advancement
OF western civilization. With seeming
recklessncss, their efforts were in the in

owe them a debt of gratitude they do
not forget. Their pages in history is AS
fascinating as 1t is honorable, and there

larry adventurous, are Kit Carson, Wild
Eiti, Buffalo Bill, Capt. Payne. Texas

under 80 feet OF water, if there had been
a wall to confine it. The New York.
Phila., Bait, and Washington dailies
have each Two or three columns desert
bing the storm. Some incidents were
singular. In Philadelphia a large pond
formed at the corner of Twelfth street,
and an horse drawing one Of the street
cars fell and drowned before it could be
eStricated from the harness.-A sloop
loaded with salt sunk owing to the rain
soaking the hay, which made it so heavy
that the boat was unable to bear the load
A man residing in Tacory, while walk
ing near the Arsenal, was precipitated
into a culvert which caved in just as he
was crossing it. He was swept along for
fifteen feet under the Arsenal wall. and
which he was carried 800 yards. He
saved his life by clutching the bough of d
willow tree, to which he c ung until res
cued. The damage to mills and fac
tories WAS immense. Stetson, the hat
maker lost S25, 900 worth of furs.-
The loss of life will probably be up in
hundreds. A bridge loaded with peo-
pie broke at Plainfield. New Jersey, and
W or three dozen persons were engulf-
ed. Several lives lost.-In some sec
lions OF North Carolina the storm was
severe. Telegram to the Observer say
the heaviest rain fall III 10 inches) since
1912 fell at Tarboro on Saturday night.
Many bridges were damaged, and a train
the railroad smashed into a wash
out" near Roxboro seriously inJuring
Mr.. w. ID. Bryan, express messenger.
Col. Carraway reports having coun-
ted 81 telegraph posts shattered by
lightning In a distance of a few miles.
A negro railway hand was knocked
but the head being hard, the
lightning took to the bushes as soon as
possible.--A great sewer on the
line between Jersey City and Hvboken
and a section of the sewer masonry
twenty eight ieet long and six feet in d.
ameter was raised bodily out of the earth
and the water spouted 300 feet in the air
for several hours afterwards. The new
tunnel of the Ontario and Western Rail
