TREMENDOUS LANDSLIDE
Twelve People Killed and Many Injured
in Canadian Village.

QuEBEc, May 1.-At about $50 Friday
night the inhabitants of the village of st.
Albans, situated forty-hve miles from
here, in the county of Port Neuf, heard a
terrible noise resembling the roll of thun-
der in the distance. The soil vibrated and
n panic ensued. The people, believing that
the ground was going to open under them,
rushed away as fast they could. Near
the parish church is a curve in the river
st. Anne, which makes waterfall. The
sides of the river, composed of clay, $50
feet high, caved, blocking up the natural
channel of the river for distance of five
miles and to n depth of seventeen feet,
making the water rise a hundred feet
above the earth walls that were supposed
to hold 1t bnck.
With a terrible roar and rush the water
came down upon the unprotected village,
carrying away the bridge. At 10 p. M.
the water rose at St. Casimir, and carried
| away another bridge at ST. Anne. At IL
o'clock 1t carried away two piers of the
| bridge and all the lumber booms, along
| with the wharves. The house of farmer
named Gauthier, at st. Albans, was COM
| pletely buried, and the four unfortunate
| people who occupied it were crushed be-
meath the ruins.
The accident has been specially severe
on the lowlands. Hundreds of cattle,
sheep and hogs have perished and amidst
| the wreckage that floats past the poor
brutes can be seen ruggling, apparently
| making an effort to reach the shore, which
their exhaustion renders abortive. Revier
Noir, the exact place of the accident, is
not anywhere near telegraph station,
and no information as to the number and
names of the dead can yet be had with
certainty.
The piece of land which slid into the
river Is about mile long and four miles
wide. The latest information received is
to the effect that 100000 worth of prop.
erty has been destroyed, and twelve peo-
pie have been killed

Only Intended to Concentrate Workers
In Every Branch of Industry.
New YORK, May 1.-The recent labor
conference in Philadelphia, which closed
on Sunday, has attracted widespread in
terest because of the proposed intention to
solidify all labor organizations, by repre-
sentatives, into one harmonious body.
Mr.. Joseph r. Buchanan, in whose name
the conference was called together, today
expressed himself as highly gratifled with
the results of the meeting, and as full OF
hope for the future of labor movements in
this country.
''For several years." said Mr. Buchanan,
'the rank and flle OF the labor organiza-
tions have been clamoring for a closer
connection between the various wings of
the movement, II the progress of the work
ingman is to keep stride with the rapid
advances in the methods of production.
The conference in Philadelphia was held
for the purpose of bringing together the
representatives of the various divisions of
the organized movement, and by mutual
concessions devise some plan to avoid fur
ther conflicts aud enable all organizations
to pull together for the common good.
1.-The Knights of Labor We're fully rep
IN Jne COultTenCt. DO also WERE
the railway organizations, the American
Federation of Labor and its affiliated
bodies and the national unions which are
mot attached to any central body. There
was no agreement when the conference
began, but the most complete unanimity y
prevailed when it closed.
"As to what will result from our labors
Il Is of course impossible to say, but II re-
ports from Chicago are true it has already
resulted in date being named by the
Knights of Labor for the conference OF
heads of organizations, and understand
June II has been chosen. If this meeting
Is not held, or is not satisfactory as to re
suits, then u congress Of labor will HI
called by authority Of the Philadelphi;
conference. There is no politics in thi
new movement whatever, and the aim il
to eftectually deal through organization
with questions of wages, hours Of labo
and the extension Of the union label"

Amy hope for me?" asked the cap
tain, whose lips had been moistened
with whisky, as it was observed that he
desired to speak.
The surgeon shook his head and mo-
toned to the attendants to lift the Off
Ger aside. When they had left him,
Steve Brayton sat down beside him and
bathcd his face with whisky and gave
him to drink. The captain had recog-
nized him at once, but it was several
minutes before he queried:
You and Kenton were in the fight
at Harrisonburg and were captured.
How came you here?"
I'VE uns made bolt fur it on the
road and got away"
And what has happened here2"
"Waal, Kenton was wounded. then

moments thoupht

Tho captain shook his head and closed
| his eyes. Steve moved away after few
minutes to look for other Confederate
wounded, and two hours later the Off
GERS dead body was carried out with
Others to make room for the wounded.
When morning came and the dead
were gathered for burial, Steve Brayton
found many that he could identify. In
deed full half of his own company had
been wiped out, and among them was
Ike Baxter. But great as was the Con-
federate loss, that of the Federals was
severe. History has said Of that first real
cavalry fight OF the war that it was ter
ribly brief In duration and appalling in
its list of dead and wounded. 1t was al
most night of the day following the
fight before the last of the Federals
moved off and left the field. And how
changed was Rest Haven, Iand what a
misnomer the title which had been
given to it in the years of peace! Gin
ders and ashes showed w,s.:c;,99 the hoogsses

by shot and shell and hoof, its snow
white carpet now spattcred and blotched
by thousand blood stains, they had dug
long trenches and covered in the dead.
Trees had boen cut down, bushes up
rooted, and over acres Of ground was
strewed the wreck of battle.
