ONE HUNDRED LIVES LOST.
A Waterproof in Mexico Carries Dealt
and Ruin in Its Course.

A
and Ruin in Its Course.
GALVESTON, Tex, June ga dispatch from
FL PasO says: yesterday WaterspOut burst in
the mountains, about eight leagues east Of La
COS, Mex, near the dividing line between the
States o. GuanainatO and JaliscO. The effects
we're deplorable. Immense quantities Of water
swept down the mountains with irresistible
force toward the well-populated plains and
valleys below, and a great many houses were
swept away. Steps have been taken IN Lagos
among the wealthy manufacturing classes to
alleviate the pressing wants Of many who
escaped from the valleys but lost everything.
There are already 100 lives reported lost, and
il is feared that the list may be swelled still
larger when all the details are known.
Further particulars Of the fearful water
spout which burst near Lagos, Mexico, on the
9Th inst. were received. AT Puebla GUARANTEES
the rushing waters in a few minutes rose
to a height Of twenty-five feet.
This great flood swept everything before 1t,
and at that place alone over 200 lives were
lost Great distress prevails along the entire
valley, and immediate relief is greatly needed.
The large city of Guanajucito was flooded also
by tremendous waterspout, which burst
about a mile above the city, and in few min
utes water to the depth Of six feet covered the
very centre Of the city.
A complimentary amateur performance in
honor Of the Governor and ex-President, Man
mel Gonzales, was in progress at the theatre.
The building was crowded with the elite Of the
city.
When an alarm was sounded at about 1890
O'Clock a wild panic ensued. Ladies tainted,
and all seemed frenzied with fear. Everyone
rushed for the door, trampling the weak under
foot Many persons were fatally injured. The
damage to property IS estimated at over
100000. 1t is not yet known how many lives
yvera lost

PasO de Cuarenta Annihilated and Most
OF its 500 Inhabitants Drowned.

Adviees from Leon state that on the night
Of June the Leon river rose and entered the
eastern part of the city. Two persons were
drowned, the Central Railway track was
washed out, and the growing crops west Of
Leon we're destroyed. The loss to property
was small.
On the following night tremendous water
spout broke a few miles above the town of
Paso de Cuarenta situated twenty miles from
Lagos City The flood was great and sudden,
and practically annihilated Cuarenta. Thus
far 10 bodies have been recovered. Many
bodies were washed several miles down the val
ley, and are being discovered in the fields be-
low the town. The search is now going on.

SOME INTERRsTING FIGURES.
The Losses lin the Union Army During
the War.

In June, 1884, General Drum directed Mr.
y. W. Kirkley, an experienced statistician Of
the Adjutant-G Generals Office, 10 begin the
compilation of the record Of the losses during
the war, with the aid Of ten clerks. The table
shows total of 1858 deaths Of commissioned
officers and 349, 9l3 deaths of enlisted men,
making an aggregate Of 1855, 496 deaths among
the Union forces.
The death registers of some Of the largest
prisons at the South, used for the confinement
Of Union soldiers, are missing. Even in this
most imperfect record, The number Of Union
soldiers known to have died in captivity was
close upon thirty thonsand-in exact figures
9,49S The late investigation, we may add
has increased by about One-sixth the records
Of deaths among Union prisoners.
Taking Mr. Kirkley's tables, we derive from
them The following general results:

Famous Hungry Joe.
WHY BE WENT TO SING SING.

According to reports there were some
redeeming traits about Hungry Joe, as
bad a rascal as he was. A reporter
says: 81 drifted down Broadway from
Twenty-third street, New York, with an
old detective, behind "IGid" Miller and
Raymond, ''pals" of Hungry Joe" in
his bunco.steering. The detective said
to me: "Those three were a queer lot.
In summer time when loot and fools
were plenty nothing was too good for
them. The Hoffman House bar, Long
Branch, Saratoga, Newport They took
it all in. Bnt when winter came, they
were the meekest lot you ever saw.
There's a little restaurant in Fourth ave-
nue., near Twenty-fith street, where
they used to go for buckwheat cakes
and shiver around the stove. 1 saw
Hungry joe in a saloon near there one
day last summer pull out handful Of
mOney-there must have been S20-and
give it to a poor woman who came in
begging. When he came to settle his
score he had no money. 4 might as well
beat you as anybody else, he said coolly
to the proprietor and walked out. The
bunco-steerers will have a gala time this
summer. The old dodgers from the
country have all heard that Hungry
joe is in prison, and they don't know
that he is only type of 500 other men.
He got notorious, and when the police
had to make an example he was the chap
that was taken in. There are plenty Of
keener men in the business than he,
who are never heard of, because they
have never been caught. One Of the
biggest men in the business said to me
the other day that he knew some one
had to go over the road to make the
police even with the public, and it was
better for the rest of them that Hungry
joe should CO."

PERSIAN WORKMEN.
Their..Primitive Working Tools and System
of Work.

Their.Primitive Working Tools and System
of Work.
What implements they used in ancient
times we know not; but to-day the Per-
sian artisan has neither rule, compass
nor spirit-lcvel. He is commonly igno-
rant of the fact that the diameter is the
third of the circumference; his gimlets
and augurs are prods turned by a bow
string; he has no Ratchet, but only an
adze, and no carpenters bench. If he
desires to plane a board, he puts it on
tho ground; and if he would saw a
block of wood he squats on the ground
himself and holds it between his toes,
drawing the saw towards himself.
Wood is scarce, and with such tools hard
to work. If pillars are to be con-
structed, the trunks of poplars arc
raised and simply stripped of their
branches and bark. They may be
crooked, but that matters not; the mas
ter workman tells his subordinate to
shape the timber into an elegant pillar
with Catch. Depending only on his eye
and the skill of his hand, this simple
artisan applies to the plaster round the
trunk in the form of a tluted pillar and
crowns it with a graceful capital and
~cornice, showing a lively inventive
fancy. If judged by the strict applica-
ton of rule and compass, these dccora-
tons may sometimes deviatc slightly
from a straight line, but of the ar
tistic beauty of the conception there
can be no question. Wall and ceilings
are tastefu1ly decorated in like manner.
~~* '.Lightness combined with strength
is often gained in Persia by building a
wall of square sun-dried bricks, ingc-
niously arrangedin hollow cubes as in a
block-house. They are .ccmentcd to-
gcther by a layer of car5fk, OF mortar
mixed with straw, over which, in turn,
follows a coat of white plaster. Where
great strength is required the angles
are fortified by a layer of burnt bricks.
Such a wall will stand for ages.
1t is interesting to watch the builders at
work. They wca long tunics, which
arc tucked into their girdlcs when work
ing, displaying a length and muscular
development Of limb I have never seen
equalcd elsewhere. The one above sings
out in musical tone: brother, in the
name of God, toss me a brick" The
ono below, as he throws the brick, sings
in reply: 80 my brother, Cor, o son Of
