Citixens were Panic Stricken When
Buildings Began to Crumblc.
SILVER CITY. N. M., July 24.-Between
8 o'clock and midnight Sunday night five
inches Of rain fell In this city and in tho
mountains TO the north. Before o'clock
the water was rushing down the noun
tain sides In torrents, and few minu ties
later the business streets Of the city were
filed with food from four TO eight feet
deep.
The grade Of the streets Is heavy, and
the water rushed through them with
such swiftness that crossing was impossi-
BILE. A footbridge, which had been con-
structed 80 that people in the lower
part Of the town could cross to place Of
safety In case Of flood, was swept away,
and all .ncans Of getting out Of the flooded
district was cut of.
The night was intensely dark, and for
three hours the people of the city were
terror stricken. Several people gave them-
selves up for lost when some of the weaker
buildings began to crumble before the de-
structivc floods. Nine buildings were
washed down and many others damaged; (;
but, strange as 1t ~ seem, not life was
lost.
In the business part of the city many
buildings are settling, and the amount OF
the loss may reach many thousands Of
dollars more than the losses which are
now certain. Some estimates place the
loss as high as $4,000.
The railroad company has sustained a
heavy loss, and IL will take more than a
week to repair the track SO that trains can
reach here. Telegraphic communication
has Just been re-establishsd

Dangerous Use of Strong
Purgatives.

Most pills and purgatives which act
quickly upon the bowels, irritate ana
often destroy the mucous coats of the
stomach and bowels. Indeed, their
cathartic action is directly caused by
the irritation of the bowels, which they
produce Their action should be sooth-
ing and stimulating instead of irritat-
ing. A continued use of such remedies
produces chronic Inflammation of the
stomach and bowels. This often ends
in dangerous diseases. The use of
the genuine imported Carlsbad Sprudel
Salt is highly recommended as an aper-
lent, laxative and diuretic, because its
action is due solely to its solvent and
stimulating properties. 1t soothes and
allays Inflammation, and is therefore
much preferable to all strong purga-
tives.

ministers will attend the conference.
so that the work of providing enter
tainment for such a large number of
visitors will entail considerable trou-
bic to Rev. William Edgar, the local
pastor, and the committee who are en-
Enthusiastically assisting him. Bishop
Andrews will preside over the delibera-
tions, which will be carried on by repre-
sentatiVeS from an immense territory
in Pennsylvania and New York states,
from Nanticoke, Glen Lyon and Wana-
mie on the south to Exeter and Schuyl-
er's lake, near Cooperstown, N. Y, on
the north: from Waverly N Y, and
following the Susquehanna down to
Mehoopany, there taking in the section
from the river to Harvey's lake, and
from Waverly, N. Y, up, taking in
Tioga county and part of Tompkins
county on the west; from East Worces-
ter, N. Y, following down the Della
ware and Hudson railroad to Sidney.

fecting all the conferences in the Unit

Tor his unique executive ability.
Chaplain McCabe, one of the secre-
taries of the National Board of Mis-
sions. has promised to be present. and
will deliver an address on the absorb
ing topic of missions. The chaplain
has earned the title of "Prnce of Beg
