WASHINGTON, March 1.-Vice President
elect Stevenson and party reached the ma
tional capital at sos last evening, the
journey from their Bloomington home
having occupied thirty-four hours to the
minute After leaving Cumberland the
special train made no stops until Martins
burg was reached. Here the largest crowd
of the trip had gathered. 1t blocked up
the platform and the parapet above, while
the yerandas and windows of the hotel
were black with people. As the train came
to standstill the Martinsburg band
played america" A slight rain was fall
ing, and so the general contented himself
with bowling his thanks for the reception
from the rear platform of the car instead
of going through the usual hand shaking
program.
There were loud and repeated calls for
a speech, but General Stevenson stuck to
his determination to make no addresses on
the trip His failure to respond put the
throng In trifle of a bad humor, but the
band struck up lively air and drowned
the voiciferous demands for just few
words. Meanwhile some of the members
of the escorting club had been decorating
the locomotive that was to take the train
into Washington.
No stem We're made between Martins
burg and Washington, but at Shenandoah
and Ilarper's Ferry there We're small
crowds that gave cheer as the train
rushed by.

MANY OF THE PEOPLE DROWNED.

VIENNA, March IA terrible calamity
has ovcrtaken the village of Gergely, near
the town of Paks, in Hungary, situated on
the river Danube, about sixty miles south
OF Buda. At this point in its course the
river flows through stretch of low land,
and Is lined on both sides by extensive
marshes
Owing to the sudden rise Of the Danube
che 800 inhabitants of Gergey found the
mud huts in which they lived submerged
by waste waters The frail dwellings
gradually yielded before the furious cur
rent, which was continually rising. The
people took refuge in the church and
school, which were constructed of stronger
materials, hoping that these buildings
would be able to hold out against the food.
Prayers for Safety.
The people, led by their pastor, offered
mp earnest prayers for safety, and mothers
and children clung to the altar, beseech-
ing the intercession of the saints. They
saw their homes disappearing in the rag
ing streams, and the swelling waters be-
gan to beat against the church and school
building with such fury that at last they
decided that to remain would mean the
destruction of all Of them while il they
He'd some at least might escape.
Opening the doors, they started out into
the flood, which surged nearly to the waists
OF the grown up people. Fathers and
mothers carried their children and the sick
and feeble were helped along by those who
were stronger, They fed rs fast as possible
In the direction of Paks, the swift ard
boiling current pursuing them, as it were,
In their flight. One mother with five chill
dren, sank in the waters and pcrished.
Many others, the number of whom is as
yet unknown We're drowned in the flood,
and the survivors reached Paks in most
depiorable condition.
The people of Paks gave the fugitives all
the succor possible although deeply CON
cerned for their own safety, as the Danube

Nothing can be done towards recovering
the bodies of those who have pershed
until the river retires within its usual
channel, and it is believed that many havs
been swept many miies away. There $ no
doubt, however, that the number of dead
is very large.
