A srAND.p1pH BURSTS,

Letting Loose Thousands Of Gallons Of
Water, which Floods the Town, Destroy
ing Many Houses.
A dispatch from Temple, Tex, says.
1.-TWO hundred and eighty thousand gal
Ions of water confined in the steel
stand-pipe broke loose at about o'clock
Friday morning and flooded the town.
Immense sheets of boiler steel, hundreds
of pieces of scaffolding, houses, barns,
fences and all the debris of the sur
rounding neighborhood went float
ing and crashing in all directions.
The people Of the town were awak-
ened, and stood in frightened groups
about the town watching the
destruction of their homes and proper
ty. The house of o. T. Rigdon was
crushed as an egg-shell and afterwards
took fire from an overturned lamp and
was burned. Rigdon was seriously
burned and his recovery is doubtful.
Lying out towards the street were six
teen sections of the pipe, great hol-
low cylinder twenty feet in diameter,
and OF the heaviest boiler steel. The
lower sections of the pipe were thrown
in different direction. They were
torn, twisted and crhmpled. The
several barns and sheds near by were
washed down and away. The fences
OF the neighborhood are gone, and
all over the streets, alleys and
yards are scattered the contents Of
houses and barns, while timbers from
everywhere are lying around in all con-
ceivable shapes The damage done is
heavy outside of the stand-pipe itself.
All the houses around we're flooded with
water and several seriously damaged.
The accident is unaccountable. No
flaws are apparent in any of the broken
and torn pieces, and the workmanship
shows 1t to be first-class. The founda-
tion is still there, solid and unharmed,
except in one place, where cash two
feet long is cut through the bottom and
| a couple Of rocks washed away.

Which Both Are Finally Killed.
VIM. Weeder, of Columbus, Ind,
bought black rattlesnake from Brown
County man, with seven rattles and
three and one-half feet long, and placed
it in a glass box in his barber shop.

wharf rat and put it in the
box with the snake. A bloody battle
followed. When the reptile would bite
the rat it would get off in one corner
and suck the poison out of it's system,
seeming to understand just what to do.
These sanguinary battles continued at
intervals for three days, by which time
the fur was nearly all torn from the
rats body and the rattles and part of
the snakes tail were eaten off. Satur-
day morning both were found dead in
the box, and badly swollen.

Nearly all of the Standard Oil millionaires
have followed the lead of one of the senior
members OF their trust and built magnificent
residences on the Sound Two or three of them
go to the main Office of the Standard Oil Com
pany from their residences every morning on
their yachts, but Mr.. Flagler though he likes a
sail as we'll as any OF the other mlionares, still
patronizes the trains. The Flagler place near
Larchmont occupies peninsula, and is one of
the most magnificent country seats on u water
front in this country. Just off Mr.. Flagler's
private dock lies huge steam yacht, and beside
it a big one-hundredfoot schooner Both of
the craft are fully manned, so that whenever the
Standard Oil millionaire likes to take a sail he
has only to stroll down to Lis pier and step
aboard one of nts yachts Mr.. Starbuck, whose
place is four or five miles beyond the Flagler
house on the Sound, rises in the morning, takes
his bath, steps aboard his yacht, and breakfasts
on the way to New York. BY the time he has
finished with his breakfast and has smoked his
cigar on deck, he is ready to go to the Office of
