In Illinois and Louisiana ..

MAHANoY Cry, Pa. June 1S.-At about 10
o'clock last night the whistles around town
started the alarm used ia case of fire. In
short time the streets were filed with people
rushing wildly to find the cause. They were
attracted up Main street. and before proceed
ing far a carriage dashed toward them. The
occupant was driving for his life and crying;
THE dam is broken; fly for your lives"
The crowd turned and fled, and in the dis
tance could be heard the rushing OF the
mighty torrent.
FLED TO THE HILLS.
BY the time the water reached the corner
OF Main and Centre streets the crowd had
fed 10 the hills. The people living in the
northern end of the town hadn't time to
reach the mountains after the alarm was
given and sought shelter In their houses. In
few minutes the debris had blocked the
streets. There were huge trees. telegraph
poles, logs. stumps Of trees, wagons, carts.
parts of houses brought by the roaring cur
rent. Cellars and stores were flooded and the
streets were made impossible
After reaching this place tho water took o
westerly course and the eastern end OF the
town was not damaged. Traffic on the Lehigh
road between here and Park Place Is blocked,
the tracks being washed out. and huge logs
and fifteen feet high.
Telegraph wires on the Lehigh Valley road
are down, and 1t is reported that number of
houses in Robinson's. small mining village
about two miles from here and right in the
path Of the hood. have been carried away,
FEABs FOR THE MINERS
After the food bad subsided the greatest
fear among the people wss for the miners
working underground. but information leads
10 the belief that no lives were lost. The
broken dam has not been reached. as the
water is knee deep. Two people are reported
missing. The lower business portion Of the
town was flooded and nearly all had their
stocks damaged OF ruined The exact cause
of the dam bursting cannot be ascertained.
Courers arriving in town report great deal
of damage done and some of the mines are
flooded which means no work at the mines
until the water is pumped out
Later information is that there Is but one
person missing. His name is Jacob Close, an
old man who lived in sbanty on the line of
the food. The total loss will exceed $4,000.
The North Mahanoy colliery was partly
washed away, as was also a portion of the
Schuykill colliery. No trains have passed
