Terrible Disaster.
The Most Destructive Flood in
Thirty Years Visits Can
ton and Vicinity.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Dctails of
the destruction in Canton, and vicini-
ty by the recent great rain storm
there, have been received by private
parties in tnis city The food was the
most serious which has visited Canton
in 80 years. Over 10000 persons lost
their lives, and far greater number
are left in starving condition. Ea-
tire villages were ergulfed. and the
rice and silk crops in the vicinity were
almost ruined. The price of rice has
been raised Is per cent. in consequence
of the loss .f the crop Rain fell the
latter part of june, filing and over>
flowing many of the rivers. The
streets Of Canton were flooded over
for week. At s. Nj City the water
broke through the city wall. 1t is
reported several thousand people were
drowned in that place. The embank
ments of the river were broken IN
many places, and the waters swept
across the surrounding country, carr
rying everything before them. A
foreigner who was an eyewitness of
the scenes of the devastation reports
that one night the boat he occlpied
anchored near bamboo grove. BY
morning the water mad risen to the
tops OF the ban5oos. At other points
it rose as high as forty feet during the
night.
THE INHABITANTS FLED
from the villages and camped on the
hillsides At Kun in, market place
situated near an embankment of one
of the streams connected with the
river which brings water from the
North and West rivers the majority
of the inhsbita uts were drowned by
the water breaking through the en-
bankmeut. Some escaped to q piece
of rising ground in the neighborhood
but the water continued TO rise, aud
gradually topped the elevation,
drowning those who stood upon it.
Seventeen Cainese graduates in Cam
ton hearing of the distress and suffer
ing prevalent in their native villages,
took passages home to render what
assistance they could. On the way
the boat was caPsizsd and all who
we're in it were drowned. In some
places the parents tied their children
on the high branches of trees while
they instituted measures for their
general safety. The trees were wash
ed up by the roots, and the heartrend-
ing cries of the childrea were silenced
in the surging water.
THE BODY OF A BRIDE DRESSED
| in her bridal robes was found floating
in the river near Canton. A large
tub was also seen; it was picked up
and found to contain boy and girl.
With them was found paper, stating
their names, the day and hour OF their
birth. The parents had instituted
this means 10 save the lives of their
offspring. The writer adds that the
sufferings which thousands are endur-
ing are heartrending. Parents reply
ing with tears in their eyes to their
childfen's request for food that they
have none. The people are obliged TO
use the flthiest water, and this, added
to the diseases which will easue upon
the subsidence of the waters will great
" aggravate the horrors of the situa~
tioa. Meantime all that is being done
by the inhsbitants to abate their
! misery is the beating of gongs, burn
I ing of incense, and nowling of prayers
to idols.

1t Was Good Anyway.
Boston Courier

In a town on Cape Cod lives a
French family, Of which the head was
once an officer in the Belgian army,
where he seems TO have acquired
strange tastes. He is somewhat given
10 experiments in cookery, and fre.
quently concocts dishes which are the
establishment Of his neighbors. He
re- entity decided TO take to himself a
helpmect, and fixed upon a pretty
Irish girl in the vicinity as sweet
heart. His knowledge Of English,
however, was SO imperfect that he
was forced to call in music teacher
TO act as interpreter Going to the
Frenchman's house the music teacher
found great difficulty in conducting
negotiations owing TO the continual
interference of an old IrishWoman,
who kept demanding what she was

IT now appears that the Austrian
government did not assign any reason
for refusing to receive Minister Kelley.
This that government was under no
obligation to do and although the rca-
son may be and probably was bscause
of his Jewish wife, yet this can only
be assumption, as this government
cannot ask for q reason. Kelley Is In
Washington, badly broken up in mind
and purse over his share in political
life.
