WATER FELL IN TORRENTS FOR AN HOUR
A Woman Drowned Before the Eyes
of Her Husband Who Was Pow
erless to Save Her.
A Man Found Dead Standing i'm Mud
Up to His Neck-Other Cas-
ualities Reported.
Terrible ~ClOudburst.

BERLIN. n. V. Aug. 2S.-A cloudburs
over this town and the town of Peters
burg last night was followed by a foo,
that did damage unparalleled in thi
vicinity. Rain fell steadily all day bu
at D o'clock in the afternoon the watel
fell in torrents, lasting about an houl
and alarming the community. Those
who were in dangerous localities sought
places of safety. Had the cloud burst
after the people had gone to bed the loss
of life would have been awful. AS il
was the wife of Thomas Taylor was
drowned in her home in sight of hel
husband. who was outside but could not
get through the current to save her
His two children were saved.
James Smith was found dead standing
in the mud up to his neck. terribly
mangled, about half a mile from a barn
IN which he was last seen alive.
The Lebanon Springs railroad between
here and Petersburg. a distance of about
five miles. is washed away into the
meadows for many rods in a half dozen
places. The large railroad bridge is also
gone, besides a score or more of highway
bridges. The valuable outbuildings of
lilly are wrecked and several acres sur
rounding are covered to the depth of
four feet with large stones. The residence
of Chas. Parks was turned upside down.
The entire family was absent at a camp
meeting. All mountain streams were so
much swollen that seemingly irrepara-
BILE damage has been done. Meadows
are ruined and crops in the line of the
flood are destroyed. Part of the village
of Peterboro. lying near Little Hoosic, is
completely wrecked. a score of resi-
denccs and workshops are washed from
their foundations and a large quantity
of personal property has been destroyed.
The loss to property in that village will
reach not less than $4,000. No lives
were lost there. but there were several
narrow escapes from death.
The south-bound mail train 81 the
Lebanon Springs railroad left Peters
burg about & o'clock. After running
about a mile it came upon the flooded
tracks and was promptly run back to
the station. Scarcely had it backed to a
place of safety before the entire roadbed
in the front of it with the track for sew
eral rods was washed away. The loss in
crops will be a very serious matter to
farmers along the line of the flood
through this valley. 1t is thought here
that railroad communication to points
north will not be resumed for several
weeks as facilities for repairing the
damage promptly are not at hand. The
trains between here and Chatham will
o o be running.

Iowa Testimony at Butte.

BUTTE, Aug. 28.-When the Davis will
case opened today the contestants an
nounced that they were willing to have a
proper chemical test made of the will
for the jury. Thomas Glasgow identi-
fed the will as being a document he had
seen at James Davis home the day il
was signed. He was of the opinion that
Job Davis wrote the will. Sconce's sig.
nature was on the will when he first saw
it. Sconce and he are first cousins.
Several Iowa dispositions we're read testi-
Tying to the genuineness of the will.

Floods in Vermont.

BENNINGTON, VT. Yesterdays rains
raised the Wallomsac river so that at
midnight Bennington people were called
out of bed by the firc-alarm bells to find
the streets flooded and danger threaten
ing on every hand. An exciting night
ensued. but fortunately the damage is
reduced to minimum. as no dams gave
way and but one bridge was carried off.
Cellars were flooded and streets we're
badly washed out.

Cyclone at Newark.

NEWARK. Aug. 21.-A cyclone swept
over the lower part of this city at 2:1j
this afternoon. coming with a frightful
velocity and without warning. The roof
OF the three-story building on the corner
OF Bowery and Lexington streets was
torn from its f~astenings and whirled sky
ward nearly 200 feet, doing considerable
damage by its fall.
The storm came up from the south
west at a time when the sky was clear
excepting a few light. gauzy clouds. One
cloud somewhat dense and dark came
sailing along from the direction in which
the wind was blowing and descended on
the southeast section Of the city. At
Chestnut street it crossed the Pennsvl-
yanla railroad tracks and first struck the
Iom!inson company's spring works.

which was formerly used for a leather

front for a width Of thirty feet went in
like a shell. After the brick front
went down the blast got under the
roof. lifting it up and throwing
it down upon Reuben Trier's leather
manufactory. which adjoins it. The
second floor was ripped up. wrenched
away and laid upon the wreck of the
roof. The ~dismantling OF this building
was complete. Only a few joists pro,
truding from the walls were left.
The cyclone then went its way to
Passaic avenue, Bowery street and Gross
street. below Jackson street, causing
skylights and shutters to fly through
the air. At first the wind was not
heavier than that which usually accom-
panies a thunder storm. but ten seconds
later it's volume was terrific and it swept
over that section Of the city with force
enough to tear of tin roofs like sheets of
paper.
Bowery and Goss streets are strewn
with the debris. Parts Of roots Of build

feet high in the air and landed one hun

part Of this building was also blown
down. The roof on Alderman Hernsel's
big double house near Passaic avenue
was blown down. A shed alongside the
walk, fifty feet long, was knocked over
on the Central railroad tracks fully 500
yards away. The roof of a double three
story tenement house was yanked off
and the windows Of the house were shat

The SpadOw Wins.

SAN Francisco, Aug. 31.-Billy Ma.
Der, the Australian lightweight, better
known as "Spadow,r defeated a Local
boxer, Frank Kelly, at the Occidental
club tonight for a purse Of $3.50. Kelly
was game, but u~nscientific, and Maber
jabbed his left at will on Kelly's nose
and chin, drawing blood freely from his
nose. Kelly was groggy and bleeding at
the close Of the ninth and the referee
stopped the fight, awarding it to Maber.

English Politics.

LONDON, Aug. 2S.-The liberal cleo
toral executive committee hardly knows
how TO treat the extraordinary crop of
labor candidates finding acceptance in
radical constituencies. The length of
the list of names already adopted
threatens to given a new character to the
general election tending to accord a
predominance to social questions in
many districts where the electoral man
ayers prefer to see the contest waged on
ordinary party lines.
The men selected in the interest of la
Dor chiefly represent trades unions,
though a number are also identified with
socialism. AS a test of their practical
earnestness the supporters of labor nom.
inees in most instances pay all expenses
OF the contest and guarantee a yearly al
lowance to candidates if elected.
Ii the movement succeeds, as it prom
Uses to, 1t will cause in the next parlia-
ment a compact phalanx Of thirty labor
determined to make questions
in labor interests dominant over all
others after home rule is settled.
Attempts to draw Gladstone to pro-
nouncei in favor Of several Of these labor
candidates were met with the following
response especially referring to agricuf-
tural ldborers: "You may rest assured
the liberals, who, in the teeth
OF a house Of lords procured a franchise
the laborer, did not thus arm him for
nothing. They hope to do him full JUS
tice, bringing the local government to
his door and securing for him a freer ac-
cess to the use OF land"
Liberals and conservatives alike inter
pref this reply as promising the creating
OF parish councils OF a popular basis,
thus sapping the domination Of local
and parsons. This change
would effect an immense practical re-
form in English rural life.

early hour crowds began to collect at the
Inflated bridge again this morning. One
hundred railroad hands, twenty-five o

THE GILLIAN STRUGGLE.
The News of the COngressIona Triumph
still Lacks Official Confirmation.

The news OF the Cong tsslOnaI trump
still Lacks OHicial Confirmation.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-At a late hou.
this afternoon a new aspect was given t.
the situation when Julio NJ. Foster, who
is assisting the congressional ENJOYS il
this city. received the following dispatch
dated today at New York:
"Malmaceda is defeated. Valparaiso
is in our power. Viva Chic.
ISigned TRUMBuLL.'
The sender is Richard Trumbull, one
of the congressional agents who is now
under indictment for violation of the
neutrality laws in connection with the
equipment of the Itata. The dispatch
gave great comfort to the congressional
partisans here and Foster did not at.
tempt to conceal his satisfaction. The
absence of official information at the de-
partments has puzzled officials. Ger
tainly if a decisive engagement has taken
place it was to be expected that Minister
Egan or Admiral Brown would promptly
report the fact if communication were
open. Admiral Brown is at Valparaiso
and Minister Egan at Santiago, through
which cables from Valparaiso must pass
to reach Europe and the United States
or run the risk of falling into the hands
insurgents. The only cause assigned
is that the telegraph lines being under
military control will not transmit cipher
dispatches, such as would be sent by our
government representatives. 1t is not
presumed, however. that if the Balma-
forces had achieved a signal victory
they would attempt to prevent a con
tirmation of the news of the event from
reaching this country, SO that the official
Judgment here is that no decisive com
bat has taken place up yesterday. IAN
hour after the dispatch to Trumbull
anne to hand this dispatch from We'll. a
confidential agent of the insurgent party
ut Lima, today and addressed to Pedro
principal congressional envoy in
this city. was received at the headquar-
of the party here: Triumph com
plete. Valparaiso has surrendered"
