She is vessel of 1910 tons, and sailed
from Antwerp for Portland March 18th.
The vessel struck about O'Clock this

prevailed. A boat was lowered and the
first mate and four sailors started for

New YORK, Aug. 3l.-The members
of Tailors' unions of Brooklyn Nos. 81,
55 and SO held mass meeting to act
upon the accommodation Of the execu.
tive board of the unions to strike against
the day task system in vogue in Brook
Ign. There are 1900 union tailoro in
Brooklyn, and they complained that the
task system was too hard. A gang of
four men had to make 3S coats day.
and the most that tnsy could do was 20
coats. If they did not complete their
daily tasks proportionate amount of
money was deducted from their wages.
The men asked the manufacturers to
abolish the system, but the latter re-
fused. The contractors said that the
men were able to earn about $l4 week.
The men declared that they could make
only SO a week. The meeting decided
to make a general demand for the
adoption OF the weekly wage system.
Should The demand DO refused, the men
will refuse to 60 to work.

re discriminating citizens at thursdays p

fnarieS.

Leona river, swollen to a raging torrent
by recent rains, rushed without q
moments warning down upon the town,
submerging and wrecking many houses
and drowning q number of people. In
this section much destruction by the
elements has been chronicled. 1t is
not definitely known how many have
been drowned. Among the bodies that
have been identified are thoae OF Mrs.
Joe Hatch, Miss Matte Edwards, q
child of Mr.. Maley and two Mexicans.
1t was about O'Clock in the morning
when the flood came. The weather had
3een threatening and there were omin-
GUS clouds to the north and east OF the
town. The atmosphere had been close
early in the evening and predictions OF
storm were freely made. During the
night the dark clouds rose higher and
higher. Just as the storm broke out
over the city in all its fury. torrent of
water rushed down the Leona river,
overlooking its banks and flooding the
lowlands on either side to depth OF
several feet. The east side OF the city is
built on low ground and WAS directly in
the path OF this water. All the houses
in that part of the town were submerged
and in the darkness and throughout the
downpour OF rain that was falling could
be heard che cries Of distress from the
illiared inhabitants in their wild efforts
to save their lives and those oil their
families.
There were a Eumber of miraculous
escapes, and the reecuerB end the res
cued performed many heroic acts. AS
soon az those in the higher part Of the
town were made aware of the terrible
food, the work OF rescue was begun and
carried out as rapidly az possible in the
darkness.
Great apprehension is felt for the peo-
pie living on the ditch south of here,
where rs to 10U families live. One
Mexican family living on the ranch OF
L. Schwartz, below town, are supposed
to have been lost, no vestige OF the
ranch being left.
News this evening reaches here that
three families living below town were
drowned, whose names have not yet
been learned.
According to reports received at the
Soutnern Pacific Office this evening the
terrible food was augmented by al
earthquake. A shock OF some seconds
duration was distinctly lett curing the
night. At one place near the city heavy
cracks appear on either side of the
river, having apparently no bottom.
The track walker OF the Southern
Pacific, after wading through water up
to his neck. succeeded in intercepting a
west bound train. The loss to the
Southern Pacific is enormous, 40 miles
of its track and many bridges having
been washed away. A thorough but
safe estimate as to the loss Of property,
including that of the railroad, will, as
lar as known, reach q million and half
dollars.
Over 100 carloads OF material and 300
laborers left San Antonio for the scene
of the wreck this evening.
Later-While reports are incomplete.
it is estimated that no less than 20 or Is
people have been drowned and the lose
to property will exceed ~, 1000. 900.
