not less than q million dollars. The lum-

heaviest losses are suffered by the poor
people, who have had their homes
swept away. The newspaper offices
have been flooded, and no paper was is
sued yesterday or will be to-day, except

WEST CHESTER, September l2-Thi-
morning the Public High School of this

Charles Samples, deliberately stabbing
companion, named Wilmer Palmer,
as the latter was passing from the class
room to his seat. The wound was made
by a good.sized pocket.knife in the
thigh, and it is said that young Sample
did the act without provocation, he
being solely actuated through q love
for sanguinary exploits. The injured
boy was taken into the principal
room, whence, after bsing properly
cared for, he was taken to his home.
