VIENNA, March THE .JohnStown
disaster was duplicated in many par
ticulars in the village of Gergeley. in
Hungary, yesterday. over 1000 lives
being lost by sudden food in the
Danube.
The l,60O people of the town awolSe
yesterday morning to find their homes
surrounded by water. Many of them
took refuge in the church and school,
which were constructed of stronger
materials, hoping that these buildings
would be able to hold ont against the
food. Mothers and children clung to
the alter beseeching the intercession
of the saints as they saw their homes
disappearing i'll the raging stream.
The swelling waters finally began to
beat against the church and school
building with such strength that at
last the refugees decided that to remain
would mean the destruction of all of
them. They then started out into the
flood which surged nearly to the waists
of the grown people. Fathers and
mothers carried their children and the
sick and feeble were helped along by
those who were stronger. They fed
as fast as they could in the direction
of Palls.
One mother with five children sank
into the waters and perished. Hundreds
of others. the exact number of whom
is yet unknown, were drowned in the
flood. and the survivors reached Paks
in q most deplorable condition. The
people of Paks gave the fugitives all
the help possible. although deeply
concerned for their own safety, as the
Danube is twenty feet above normal.

COLUMBIAN GUARDS.

by the city of Chicago, is member of q
fire company and is drilled at regular
intervals in the use of Babcock extin-
guishers, hose practice and ladder work.
Should fire occur in Jackson park to-
day four engine companies stationed
within the grounds, three from the city,
two hook and ladders, six hose carts
and 800 Columbian guards could be re-
lied upon to answer the first alarm.
The daily routine of Columbian
guard is dull enough now, but when
the exposition is opened, and thousands
of visitors, each of whom will ask num-
berless questions, and who must be pro-
tected from accident as well as the
depredations of pickpockets and sharp
ers who will find their richest harvest
in the throngs inside the buildings,
then will the guards have u busy time.
Because of the peculiar requirements of
the occasion directors of the exposition
hesitated long before adopting the pres
ent system of policing Jackson park.
The disadvantage Of appointing patrol
men after the municipal system was at
once recognized, and 1t was finally
deemed best to make the Columbian
guard semi-military in character, leav-
ing the appointing power in the hands
of a chief, to be selected for his fitness
in handling and organizing military
bodies. At the request of the expo
sition directors President Harrison
ordered Capt. Edmund Rice, Fifth in
fantry, U. S. A, to report to Director
General Davis, and Capt. Rice submit
ted the plan of organization which led
to the present organization. The Co.
lumbian guards was organized by the
exposition company with Capt. Rice
placed in command with the rank of
colonel. The new commander called to
his assistance other military men, some
from the regular army, others from the
state militia, and the first call for troops
was issued last September. There were
hundreds OF applicants. of whom less
than SO were accepted. The exactions
of military qualifications as to height,
weight and physical conditions proved
bar to many applicants, while others
were rejected for lack of moral and
mental fitness.
Intelligence, good character, steady
habits, and physique that stands the
test required OF recruits entering Uncle
Sans service, soon drove the crowds of
loafers and lazy fellows from the field.
They found that political influence
availed them nothing with Col. Rice,
who was absolutely untrammeled and
impartial in the selection of men for his
guards. With this undesirable class out
of the way, better class of applicants
came by hundreds; students from col
leges, anxious to earn enough during
the summer months to enable them to
pursue their studies next year; ambi-
tious young men from city and country
who desired to avail themselves of the
advantages they might derive during
their hours off duty; applications even
from clergymen, physicians and law
yers, from Europe as well as America,
their object apparently being educa'
tional advantages, rather than for the
modest salary paid the guards There
was no stipulation as to age, however,

morals and mental equipment, and If

Rice has been soldier all his life,

many Indian campaigns, and reads

the applicant is referred to DIR. Yeager,
or some of his assistants in the Column
bian medical bureau, for physical ex-
animation. Having stood this test the
applicant Is dismissed to hold himself
i'll readiness for summons for service.
When that summons comes the appli-
cant presents himself before Quarter
master Hoppen, who is lieutenant in
Uncle Sans Second cavalry, but ranks
as captain in the Columbian guard.
The applicant is measured for uniform,
consisting of cap, dark blue blouse,
similar to the fatigue uniform worn hS
army officers, and trousers of the regu-
lar army blue-with a black and red
stripe on the side. A police whistle and
bronze crossbow on which the guard
number Is engraved, and a short two
edged sword worn in an ornamental
scabbard at the hip, complete the equip
ment. II he chooses, the guard can
also be provided with u storm coat,
overcoat and rubber boots, the total out
fit being furnished to him by the Expo
sition company at cost of about $45.
Each month S. is deducted from the
guards pay, until he has been in the
service six months, when the money is
refunded and the uniform becomes the
property of the wearer. If the guard
should leave the service before the ex.
piration of six months Quartermaste1
Hoppen appraises the value of the uni
form, which is returned by the guard
and pays the latter the difference held
out of his pay.
From the quartermaster the new
guard, after having taken the oath oi
office and sworn in with full police
powers by city official, is sent to the
drill room, where he becomes a mem.
ber of the awkward squad. Energetic
drill masters soon give him grace and
freedom of motion, the graceful mill
tary salute, and standing at attention
when addressed by superior officer OF

methods. He is assigned to service in
one of the companies and may live
outside the grounds on barracks pro
vided in a roomy structure especially
erected at Sixty-second street and
Stony Island avenue. Eight hours
each day he is on duty, the first week
from a. IN. to 1 p. IN. and from Q p
