Bonneville, Ky, April 4.-The cloud
burst on Little Sexton and Buffalo
creeks did more damage than at first
reported. Instead of four there were
certainly IS persons Who lost their
lives. and possibly more. Sexton creek
rises near Burning Springs and is one of
the feeders of the south fork of the
Kentucky river. 1t flows in some places
through deep gorges in the rocks.
Through these gorges the strean'
rushes, when in food tide, with the
speed of race horse. and, striking the
bottom lands below, spreads out with
wonderful rapidity.
Five Drowned.
People little thought that the little
brook would rise so rapidly or was
capable of gathering such a volume OF
water. The cloudburst occurred up
in the gorges. The water gathered in
a moment and the wild food poured
down in a solid wall, carrying death
and destruction in it's path. On Sex"
ton creek and it's tributaries five were
drowned. They are: Capt. J. S. j.
Bull, Mrs. Wade Marders and child,
two unknown. Capt. Bull was military
instructor at jackson institute.
Ten Moro Victims.
Buffalo creek is even more crooked
and tortuous than Little Sexton, and in
it's torrent after the burst ten people
are believed to have lost their lives. \
great many logs were hurled down
with the tide, and these speedily
knocked the cabins and outbuildings to
pieces. The dead on Buffalo creek are:
Mrs. George Gepson and three children,
Will Burns two children, Miss Mary
Garrett, two unknown and Mrs. John
Crane.
Farmers Lose Heavily.
A Manchester dispatch says that
Goose creek has been higher than ever
before known, showing that the rain
was general throughout Owsley coun-
ty. Over 100 farmers lost their houses
and barns. Meat houses and all their
feed being destroyed. it will be i'm
possible for them to raise any crops
this year. The valleys in this section
are usually fertile and produce fine
crops of corn and wheat. The people
of this section have commenced to in
vestigate the extent of the ruins and
to make up fund for the suffering in
The farms which the pco-
pie deserted when they took to the

mob, was crushed and bleeding, and her
arm, all Scared and manned, dripped
blood slowly from its many wounds.
Down her thigh the blood poured stead
lily, staining her gown. In her realism OF
appearance Jzeyl was an a1ralling spec
tacle. Henry Irving, who sat in pros
cenium box, vIsibly shivered, and Ellen
Terry left his side hastily and hid her
aifrighted eyes behind the curtain. We
hardly believe that that bloody guise was
essential to Saratrs performance Of the
scene. 1t was merely one of her eccen-
tricities in makeup, and 1t was grewsome
to a degree. Most OF the women in the
auditorium grew faint with the horror
OF 1t, and IL required all BerDhardt's
genius to hold her audience still while
the act went on. more terrible expert
ence awaited us at the close OF the per-
Torrance, when, in response to the en-
thusisstic piaudits Of the house, the dead
woman arose from the grave and came
out all bloody and seemingly blind, to
smile and bow TO the audience. This
was an altogether dreadful and appalling
spectacle. But at that moment the play
was ended and Sarah had left art to come
pack to nature. Her task was ended. She
was no longer the actress; she WAS the
woman. In the applause OF the audience
she stepped out OF mimic into real life,
probably forgetful of her appearance.
But no one who was at Abbey's Theater
that night will soon cease to remem ber
the terrible figure of Izeyl coming forth
from the tomb, with eyeless sockets, and
her arms and hands torn and wounded,
a great cash in her bosom ant all bloody,
smiling sweetly at the audience and
courtesying, as only Sarah can.
