Everything Was Flooded by the Cloud
burst at Buffalo, Wyoming.
BUFFALO, Wyo., Aug. 2.-The destruc-
ton caused by the flood Wednesday aft
ernoon is incalculable. The cloudburst
was at point five miles southwe st of
the city near Stevenson's ranch. A
mighty wall of water rushed down the
mountain side into Clear creek, which
overlooked its banks, carrying everything
before il.
The creek cut into the south bank
carrying off log house owned by Mr.
North with its entire contents. A large
two story building, Knight of Pythias
hall and the city drug store foated into
the main stream. KimbalFs blacksmith
shop, Jenson's stable, Occidental stab
les and dozens of other buildings were
wrecked aud carried down the creek.
The Kennedy building occupied by
Jenson's saloon had floor broken into
kindling wood. Mud and wafer from
two to SIX feet deep covered the floors of
many of the business houses remaining
standing. Two livery stables were
flooded but horses were cut loose and
swan out
The ONCE of the Peoples Voice was
saved by opening all doors aud windows
allowing water to run through the build
Ing. Wagons, horses, buildings, lumber
and everything movable were swept
down the mighty current Many narrow
escapes occurred.
John Norman Pencos, a wealthy stock
grower, was in the hotel when the flood
Came. Ia an attempt to escape he was
carried down the stream but was lassoed
! aud saved by cow boy. No lives were
losl, but hundreds of thousands of dollars
worth of properly Was damaged
The telegraph lines run along Clear
creek 10 Clarmont and are washed out in
many places
FORT SMITH. Ark, Aug. 2.-Six inches
OF rain in twenty four hours is the record
as reported by the signal service officer
stationed here. Enough water has fallen
| during that time to overflow every creek
and water course within 100 miles of
Fort Smith. Yesterday the river was ris-
ing at the rate of one foot per hour, but
| it is gradually receding today.

They are just as wide open as they

Sensation of One Ship During AA
Awful Scene of Death.
Toward the close of the action, Col.
Hutchinson reported to me that the
guns wanted quill or tin tubes (Which
are used as more safe and expeditions
than loose priming) and wanted me to
send some one, adding: His own men
were too ignorant of the ship, or he
would have sent one before my return, ,"
says writer in MacmiIlan's Magazine.
I told him: 7 knew no one that could
SO well be spared as myself" He,
however, objected to my going, and,
as I was aware of the drea dful slaugh-
ter which had taken place in the center
of the ship, was not very fond of the
jaunt, but my conscience would not let
me send another on an errand L was
afraid to undertake myself and away L
posted toward the fore magazine.
When [ arrived on the main deck,
along which I had to pass, there was
not single man standing the whole
way from the mainmast forward, dis
lance containing eight guns on side,
some of which were run out ready for
firing; others lay dismounted and
others remained as they we're after re-
coiling. In this dreary scene l shall
be excused for shuddering as walked
across the body of a dead soldier. L
fastened down the fore ladder to the
lower deck and felt really relieved to
ind somebody alive; from thence L
reached the fore COCKPIT, where was
obliged to wait a few minutes for my
cargo and after this pause felt some
thing like regret, if not fear, as L re-
mounted the ladder on my return.
This, however. entirely subsidized when

I never felt the genuine sense CT

and if I had seen any one attempt to

Paul Jones. I took off my hat by an
involuntary motion and gave three
cheers as I jumped onto the quarter
deck Col. Hutchinson welcomed ne
at my quarters as if I had been on a
hazardous enterprise and had returned
in triumph. Mr. Yelland also ex-
pressed great satisfaction at seeing me
in such high spirits and SO active.

were many arguments to account for the
depression and the one given the great

potent was the reported heavy gold
shipments from New York, which az
fected the railway share market and then
spread to wheat. Why this should be so is
past all understanding. There is a bet
ter demand for cash wheat today, and st.
Louis commission houses had orders or
round lots of wheat that could not be
filled. There was very good reason
for this. The quality is so poor
that the new wheat is actually unfit
for milling purposes. From the

case are content to await its adjudication
for their fees, aud that no money is nee
essary to assist in the prosecution of the

1t Has Been Settled by Debate by the
Populist Women.
At recent meeting of the Women's
Populist league the question. "Why is It
that more girls than boys are graduated
from our schools?" was discussed and
settled in a manner satisfactory to the
members at least
Three papers were read. one from a
gentleman in Mexico, one from woman
In Denver. and another by DR.. B. A
Green. Tue conclusion was that girls
are seldom interrupted in their school
life ty circumstances; that no profess
sions are open to them that do not re-
quire education, while with boys it is
different; that most boys learn trades
and leave school early for that purpose,
partly because they often have to help
support the family. and further, that the
BOYS are truant and not much good. any
way, except to grow up and support
women.

NUNS DRIVEN OUT.
Benedictine Sisters Are Prosecuted and
Insutted In Ecuador.

Insuited In Ecuador.
NEW YORK, Aug 2.-The story of the
five Benedictine sisters who returned
from Ecuador to ST. Walpurgis convent
in Elizabeth, having been driven from
Ecuador by the outrages the church is
being subjected to there by the liberal
revolutlonists was investigated by a re-
porter.
Sister Edwarata, who was seen at the
convent said: ave, like the three sis
tiers, Genevar. Josephine, and Frances,
left for Ecuador nearly eight years ago
to establish schools there. We were as
signed to Bahia de Caraquez, from which
place We have just returned, giving up a
school of over seventy pupils.
eve, however, were more fortunate
than they, and did not suffer personal
violence, although we were constant ly
insulted and were often in fear of GU
lives. Every band of marauding revo-
lutionists which passed the convent cried,
Down with the Cassocks, and similar
demonstrations. They accused the
church of being friendly to the govern
ment
Two weeks ago the convent at Raca
fuerte, which contained ten Bened. ctine
sisters, was surrounded by mob w hich
demanded entrance. 1t was refused,
whereupon the leader ommanded the
men to fire on the convent and its in
mates. At this moment Il friendly Ecua-
dorean arrived, and, running between
the men and the convent, and directly in
the line OF fire. appealed to
them to desist. informing them that
none but women were in the building.
During the delay thus caused number
of our sympathizers gathered and dis
persed the mob
"Such outrages became so frequent
that we at last felt compelled to leave in
order TO save our lives. as have all other
sisters and priests in Ecuador. The sew
enteen sisters remaining in the country
when we left are expected on the next
steamer, and no more missionary work
will be attempted in Ecuador until the
revolution is over"
