Tho Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Taken
Out OF Politics.
BALTIMORE, June ga report comes from
Harler's Ferry, W. Va, that eight lives
were lost there in the flood Four Of them,
two women and two men, were cooped up in
one house. Finally it gave way before the
pressure Of the water, and the inmates were
lost There has been great damage done in
the town.
The bridge Of the Shenandoah railroad
across the Potomac at Shepardstown was
destroyed. AT Willamsport, Washington
county, Md, the food was seven feet higher
than the highest previous record, and great
damage resulted Between Williamsport and
Dam No. over twenty houses were washed
away, and innumerable barns, outhouses and
fences went down In the food The damage

II is probable that the Chesapeake and
Ohio canal has ceased to be a bugaboo in
Maryland politics. 1t is 50 badly damaged

contemplated. The banks of the canal are
washed away and great sluices are worn
through every mile or 50. a million and a
half dollars would be required to put it in
proper repair

The News In London.

LoEDoS, June 3.-The one absorbing topic
q conversation in London is the appalling
calamity IN Pennsylvania, meager accounts
Of which reached here by cable The first re-
ports which reached London and which were
printed placed the loss Of life at 1900, and
although It was evident even from tho
meager details which the cabls brought that
the calamity must have been Of unprecedent-
eu proportions, no one expected that the
later dispatches would confirm this figure.
When, however, with every successive tele-
gram the figures grew larger, when they
were raised from 800 to 1910, then to 5000,
then TO 10000, and estimates as high as l5,-
900 dead began to reach here, the tul extent
Of the calamity came to be realized

from Fifteenth to Seventeenth streets and
running back from the river across Cary,

side. and it is now falling quite rapidly Tie
worst evidently is over. Only one life is r.

An Error Corrected.

In the interest of Messrs. Clemmer &
Hogshead, doing business in our city,
on South Augusta street, we desire to
state that the whiskey seized at the
Engleman bonded warehouse in Rock
bridge county was not Clemmer whis-
key and neither the house Of Clemmer
s. Hogshead nor the distillery Of Mr..
Clemmer has any connection with the
transaction. Engieman had agreed to
sell to Clemmer & Hogshead rs barrels
of whiskey of his manufacture. When
the delivery of the whiskey was called
for, Messrs. Clemmer & Hogshead were
notified of the trouble at the Engleman
distillery, and that the government held
all the whislzey in the warehouse liable
uLtil the trouble should be adjusted and
removed Messrs. Clemmer & Hogshead
stand in just the same relation as other
buyers, and this is all they have to do
with matter.

Gulley VS.. G. q Q. R. R.

This case was tried in the circuit court
1astweek.
1t will be remember by the readers of
the VfRGINIAN that in August last the
little ten-year old son of Mr.. Gulley, who
lives near Fishersville, was going to, the
postoffice for his fathers mail He had
to cross the railroad track, but it was
his habit to do this in going to and from
the postoffice, and it was not regarded
as dangerous. 1t seems however, that
: on this unfortunate occasion, the little
fellow had stepped on the track without
seeing the approaching freight train.
It was SO close to him when he first saw
it that he became frightened, lost his
, spresence of mind, and, in his confusion,
walked on the track bed just in front OF
the engine. The little fellow was run
over and killed.
In the trial of the case the railroad
was represented with distinguished abili-
ty by Mr. r. L. Parish, of Covington,
Va Mr.. Gulley was ably represented
by Harrison s. Tucker, of our city. The
amount of damage was laid at $4,000.
The case was given to the jury late last
Saturday afternoon, who, after being
out some time. reported that it was i'm
possible for them to agree, and they
were discharged. 1t is understood thai
the jury stood five for the full amount
$4,000; one doubtful, but inclined tC
agree with the five and one who would
under no circumstances agree to any
damages.
