and crops are washed away. and several
lives were lost. Couriers from Tygart
bring a long list of houses aud property,
bridges and culyerts gone. The list, which

to enumerate. To tell the story briefly, it
can be stated that not single farmer or
resident escaped damage. Hundreds are
bankrupt, and will have to be supported
temporarily, by the county. The commits
sioners to-day estimate the loss in Lee,
Tygart, Slate and Steele counties at half a
million dollars. At Salisbury not single
house or bridge stands on its foundations,
and many people are in the woods. Help is
needed at once. Mayor Gibbons issued
