THE FLOOD AT soCoRRo.
The Death List Numbers Eight-Property Loss
 in the Thousands.

Socorro, N. M., Aug. 1.-The excitement attendant upon the flood is over. The list of dead is eight six of whom are the Duran family, and the other two chil- dren who were rescued from the flood and died yesterday. Fifty buildings in the city have been washed away and con- tents destroyed. About 100 buildings are more or less damaged and a large DOT ton of the contents damaged and de- stroyed. To these losses must be added the total destruction of gardens and vine yards, and these losses fall upon the poorer clasesof people.
 The Magdelana branch of the Santa Fe railroad was washed away for about five miles, and their loss will run into the thousands. The water washed away the main track just below the depot yards, and covered the track in the yard about 4 inches deep.
 The lower part of Manzanares avenue Is total wreck, bridges and sidewalks being washed away. The water covered the whole valley from the vicinity of the Windsor hotel to the depot and for several miles above and below the city
 The Arroya that did the damage comes into the city at the southwest corner from the mountains, on the road to Magdelana
 Justas soon as it strikes the city it di- vides into two channels, one going down Spring street to the river bottom and then westward. emptying into the north of the city and then swinging around to the east of the city, mingling it's waters with the one coming down Spring street. The flood came in two big waves, one filling the arroya over bany full, and the outhr pouring out over every street in the city. Had this storm come at night hundreds would have perished.

CLAOSEN STRUCK OUT TEN
AND MONTGOMERY BAT1ED IS HTS
But the Game Went to Evansville All the Same. Other Southern and National
 League Games.

Montgomery, Aug. 1.-tSpeeial)-To- day Clausen struck out ten men and the Colts batted out fifteen hits, yet they could not win. The Evansvilles punched their hits and won out. It was pretty finish the Colts made. Five hits and fast running netted four runs. For time it looked as if Montgomery would tie the score in the ninth. The only thing that prevented was the pulling down of two long flies by Left Fielder Dexter. In the first inning Evansville scored two runs on a fragrant error by Armour, who failed to catch fly which would have retired the side. Wiley, late of the Little Rocks, made a beautiful running catch in left field, shutting out several runs possible. Clausen's work in the box was excellent. Had he re- ceived the proper support he would have won his game. The last five games he has pitched the Colts have lost Brown, late of New Orleans, did the twiring Tor the visitors very effectively. Boards work at short stop was jam up, as well as Burke's at third. Umpire McFar- lands work was very yellow. He gave every close decision against Montgomery which called forth much necessary dis sent from the bleachers. Mack means well and is honest in his decisions, but he should get his eye on the ball better and increase his stock of good judgment

tiful spots in central Wyoming. The first thing the flood reached was the pleasure resort at the head of the creek. At this point all the buildings were crushed and swept away, and the origi- nal site of the hotel at this point is buried beneath debris 20 or more feet deep.
 From here the water followed the course of the creek and demolished every thing in it's path. Judging from water marks, volume of water 40 feet high and 30 rods wide must have passed a narrow defile about two miles from the mountain.
 Without warning this great flood of water in its rush down the side of the mountain found many campers up and down the creek, either sleeping or just about ready to retire for the night.
 Newly and his family had retired for the night, when all at once they were sur rounded with water, and a race for life commenced. Newby says that he heard his wife scream for help; he grabbed for her, but missed, and in the next second he was being carried by great rush of water That was the last he saw of his wife and baby. Newby grabbed the limb of a floating tree, and after floating about forty rods was thrown on bank. Mrs. Newby was found this morning be- heath a pile of debris 20 feet high. The boy has not been found.
 ssh Near the Newby camp was camped Samuel Harrison, lately of Alliance, Neb. Harrison's two children were caught in the flood and arried away by the mad waters. The bodies of the children were recovered this morning.
 The tents and wagons of all thecampers up and down the creek were destroyed, and at least fifty persons escaped with nothing but their sleeping garments. unfortunates by the citizens of Casper tOl1V

THE IRON TRADE
In an Exceptionally Strong and Healthy Con

In an Exceptionally Strong and Healthy Con
 dition, Says the Review.
 Cleveland, Aug. 1.-The Iron Trade Re view says today:
 The course of the iron market in the past three weeks has done so much to allay fears of too much advance followed by settling values. This week has given proof that the feature of improvement is developing steadily. The growing vol ume of ear building and the early in- quirics on agricultural account have led to the announcement of another $2 ad- vance in bar iron, making the price $1.30, delivered at points nearest Valley mills. This advance If maintained for sixty days means a $4.50 pudding rate Octo- Der 1. Pig iron prices have been prac- tically at a standstill
 The surprising thing about recent sales of Bessemer iron at Pittsburg and in the valley in view of the rapid ad- vances pressing, was the fact that they left the market only slightly higher, $1385 to $14 being valley furnace prices today. An actual advance of 50 cents a ton is reported from Chicago on local foundry irons, with southern prices un- changed. There is better report con corning Lake Superior charcoal. Figures show that the consumption of that metal in the first half of the year was over twice the rate of the second half of 1894. ooIl SleSl, Hhe beSSeilef plS, mas been stationary under recent purchases. Sales at $21. 50, Pittsburg, are reported. The settlement of the strike at the American Wire company's plant in Cleveland, and the adjustment of wages at the rod mills means that the consumption of several thousand tons of steel per week will be resumed at once. The demand for steel products has been in excess of the abil- ity of the mills to supply. New business in plates and structural material is steadily coming forward. The whole t. de is in a condition exceptionally strong and healthy

To Property owners:
 Owing to the high quality of the sherwin- Williams company's paint we have found 1t difficult to build up a profitable trade in these goods. The whole trouble is, the goods are too high-priced the average consumer. The result is, we have stock of several hundred gallons that is selling too slow, and in order to push them we will sell to any bona fide property owner agent for use only upon his own property at $1.35 per gallon, provided we have the coiors selected in stock. No speculation allowed. These prices do not apply to colors we have 10 order from factory.

At Atlanta.

Atlanta, Aug. 1.-The Atlantas made their appearance on the home grounds this afternoon after an absence of three weeks. and played to less than 1000 peo7 pie. The small crowd was due to the fact that the Atlantas have not been playing to suit the patrons of the game since they went away from home. The game was one full of ragged. rocky plays, and was anything but good ball work. The crowd was disgusted with the ex- hibition. It was Mobiles game until the sixth inning, when the Atlantas made a hitting streak and played the only in ming without errors. The Mobiles were just as muggy in their work and had the official scorer not been so kind the errors might have run up close to the hits. Score:

Chicago, Nov. 13.-From the northwest came the bull help in wheat today. All the morning the trade was fiat and prices af- forded improbable opportunities, but along towards noon Minneapolis fired off an unus- ualy good milling demand. with good but press the shorts very forcibly. quite a sharp demand coming from that source and values rising about lsc before the buying gave indi- cations of being satisfied The seaboard af- terwards furnished the information that twenty-five loads had been sold for export, which went far In sustaining the market towards the end. Yesterdays recovery in prices tempted scalpers to continue working on the bull, side. for which they received 57% to 5zNa57lAc. advanced to 5s96SNc. clos ing at 57a4c.- HAsso advance. Cash wheat was firm and Iac per bushel higher.
 The light receipts of corn today and the strength radating from wheat were of un- niable assistance to corn. The reiterated receipts at the present time leads to a cer- tain amount of bull talk. but the crowd is this way. May corn opened at 293s4291ac. advanced to. 29S44297sc, closing at 29ss929&c, 14c higher than yesterday. Cash corn was Hc higher.
 Oats remained in a state of tranquil in- difference. With the advance in wheat there was a fractional rise. but it was rather an acknowledgement of the propriety of the strength of the former. grain than as the re- suit of brisk buying. May oats closed high and AQ1ac per bushel higher.

 New Orleans advanced points, but lost this and declined 10 to Il points. of which to points was afterward recovered
 Today's features; The market was every thing by turns and nothing long,. but it wound up lower, owing mainly to disturb ing political and financial reports from Eu- rope Tn the early business there was some advance, owing to an active and higher market in Liverpool continued light re- ceipts at the ports and interior towns and dispatches stating that Neill Bros. had esti- mated the yield at only 6,500,O00 bales. The rise was also in measure tracable to buy ing for Liverpool and continental account. But later on the prospect of some increase in interior stocks this week a reaction in Liverpool and the disturbing reports from Europe gave prices a downward impetus. The tone is unsettled at the moment be- cause no one knows what may happen in Europe. Besides the speculation is not so aggressive on the bull side as recently. New Orleans is keeping more quiet, some of the southern spot markets showing weakness and the interior arrivals are likely to be a little lower this week than some had ex- pected.
