sundry civil appropriation bill, Mr..

THE HEAVY RAIN
Does Very Little Damage in
Canton and Vicinity.

The heaviest rain OF the season fell last
night shortly before eight o'clock. North
Walnut and North Cherry streets were
flooded, the water filling many cellars.
At the corner of East Seventh and South
Walnut streets the water flooded things,
while In the west end the water was over
the Valley tracks. In many other places
the streets were flooded, but the water
did very little damage.
Lightning struck three cars on the street
railway line, but no damage resulted.
Very few washouts are reported. AT the
Henry street crossing in Cleveland on the
Cleveland & Canton road, there was q
small washout which delayed the south
bound train about thirty minutes. The
washout is very slight. The Valley line
was not damaged at all.
The heavy rain will interfere with the
work on the Canton. Massillon street rail
way line to some extent.
Many farms, near Canton, on the low
ground, are flooded and the damage will
will be considerable.

RosLYN, Wash. May 11.-Yesterday
o most terrible explosion occurred in the
slope Of mine No. of the Northern Pa
cifc Coal company at this point in
which the loss of life exceeds in number
that of any other disaster that has ever
been chronicled in the northwest or on
the Pacific slope. The exact nature of
the explosion or the circumstances that
led to it will probably never be known,
since it is believed that every miner who
was working in the slope at the time has
persisted. 1t is not definitely known as
10 the number of men who were in the
vicinity of the disaster, but it is believed
that between forty-fve and fifty men
were in the three levels that were affect
ed by the explosion. Large relief forces
are at work and at this time three bodies
have been recovered. These men were
working nearest the opening and at
some distance from the point where it is
supposed the explosion occurred.
Most of the men were 1900 to 1900
feet further in the slope and in the inn
mediate vicinity of the accident. There
is no doubt either in the minds of the
miners or the companys officials but
that every man was instantly killed by
the explosion.
Following is an authenticated list of
the men who were at work on the three
levels that were affected and their con-
dition as to being single or men with
families:
Thomas Holmes, married; John Fos-
