WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-The with
drawal of $500, 900 in gold at New York
yesterday for export to Buenos Ayres,
Argentine Republic, reduces the gold
reserve to $92, 84o,O58. 1t has
been several weeks since the
gold export movement ceased and it's

unwelcome. It is believed, however,
that it does not presage another on

A Family of -Four Killed by Tree Falling
Upon Them.


ELKINs, w. Va, Oct. 22.-Yesterday
John Carr, his wife and two sons went
into the woods on digging expedi-
ton. They made their camp near a
big dead oak tree. During the night
the tree took fire and burned rapidly.
About o'clock it would not support
its own weight and fell. The tree,
fully feet in diameter, fell fairly in
the midst of the sleeping family. Mrs.
Carr's head was smashed to jelly, the
husbands body was crushed out of all
human semblance, and the elder boy
was mangled fiat from his chest to his
knees. The other boy crawled through
the woods to John Longs Ca bin, mile
away, where he died.

blasts for the last few days and the
winds have famed smoldering prairie
fires and started CONGREGATIONS in
southwestern Minnesota and South
Dakota, but the bulk of the disaster
has fallen upon both sides of the Red
river valley in Minnesota and North
Dakota and extending for many miles
into Manitoba. Houses, stables, live
stock, grain stacks and hay have
been consumed in all directions in
the province and half dozen people
all told have lost their lives and
score or more have been seriously
burned and permanently MANNED. Re-
ports have come in of the cremation of
horses attached to vehicles, that had
to be abandoned by the drivers on the
trails, and dozens of cattle grazing on
the plains were either burned to death
or SO seriously burned that they had
to be killed. It is estimated that
25O,OO bushels of grain and nearly
1000, 900 tons of hay have been de-
stroyed At times the whole atmos-
phere seemed to be on fire and great
masses of flame shot into the air fully
