for help. Those on the shore who were
watching this never to be forgotten spec.
tacle saw the sufferers in the river go
sweeping by, saw them come down again
and still were unable to give them the
slightest assistance. The flood proceeded
half mile or more, and then was met and
reinforced by "a wave started backward
from the eddy formed at the stone arch
bridge. With redoubled force it turned
once more to the south and then it went
half mile further, topping over the
houses wrecking some and adding some to
those which it had brought down from Other
places. For the second time it spent its
force and turned back, swept to the south
and to destruction those who had four times
been within sight of safety. This time the
whole mass of flooded wreckage was carried
down to the stone arch bridge and added te
the collection there and at last to the lire
that was raging.

HUNDREDS WILL NEVER BE FOUND.

The blackened timber left from this tire,
wedged in tightly above the bridge, is the
only gorge at which workmen have laDored
all this week with dynamite and monstrouS
cranes, In it and below it are unnumbered
hundreds of bodies. How many perlshed
in that frightful fire will never be known.
Only small proportion OF the oodies can
ever be found. Some were burned so that
nothing but handful of ashes remained,
and that was swept away long ago with
the torrent. Some were buried deep IN the
sand and some have been carried down and
hidden in sand banks and slews. Many
will be destroyed by dynamite and some will
have disappeared long before the great
flood of rubbish can be removed. Of all
the horrible features of this dreadful story
none is more heartrending than the story
If that fire. 1t began about five O'Clock
that afternoon and went on all night and
ali the next day, and smouldered until
Monday noon. Its progress was retarded
somewhat by the rain and by the soaking
of the material in the water, but this was
onlv an added horror, for it prolonged the
anguish for those imprisoned in the great
raft who plainly saw their approaching
death.
Those who saw this sight from the shore
cannot speak OF it now and will hardly be
able to speak of it as long as they live With
out tears. Imagination could not picture
situation more narrowing to human Ieel-
ing than to stand there and watch that
horrible scene without being able to rescue
the prisoners or even alleviate their suffer
iDgs.

OUTRAGEOUS Conduct.


On the avenue c car line Wednesday night
about 10 o'clock as the car was proceeding up
the avenue towards the Government Hill a
white man who was considerably intoxicated
made improper advances toward a cOOred
woman who was sitting near him and by her
husbands side. The husband stood it as long
as he could but finally demonstrated with the
fellow, but instead Of putting the whilo man
off the car ne was aliawed to remain and alb So
the negro man sOundlv for demonstrating
with MIN. Such conduct deserves the snverest
censure and the conductor rho allows such a
thing to occur and go unpublished deserves to
lose his position / am southern born and
bred and don't believe the negro is any better
than white man, hut ! do think they have
rights that any gentleman will respect and the
rOwdy should be made to do so.
