storm and Many Lives Are Lost.
RICHMOND, Va, Sept. S0.-The city Of
Staunton, in the Shenandoah valley, was
visited by terrible flood today. Many lives
were lost and great damage done to prop
erty. The great storm yesterday caused the
lake to rise and food the city All the
water courses in the valley became raging
torrents and swept over their banks, car
rying destruction in their path. The water
invaded the lower portion of the city, rising
so rapidly that many We're unable TO escape
In time and were engulfed, Others barely
escaped with their lives, leaving their prop
erty to the mercy OF the water. Houses
were swept from their foundations. In sew
era cases persons were with difficulty res
cued from the roofs and upper stories. 1t is
impossible at this hour to ascertain the eX-
tent of the loss of life or the value of tho
property damaged. The latter will exceed
$500, 900
Heroic attempts are being made to rescue
those in danger. The flood came so sud
denly and unexpectedly that all was confu-
sion for some time before the extent Of
the calamity was realized, Telegraph poles
are down and the wires hopelessly entan-
gled. Scores of families are homeless aud
many are anxiously seeking to ascertain
the Whereabouts and safety of friends or are
making fearful search for the bodies OF
those whom they know have perished 1t is
the worst catastrophe which Staunton has
ever experienced in times OF peace and the
dawn OF tomorrow Is dreaded because of
the extent of the disaster which its light
will unfold. The search for victims and
work OF saving what property Is not hope
lessly ruined is being prosecuted as best II
can In the dark, but little can be done until

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 20-The latest
advices from Japan by the China report
that further severe storms have occurred in
the southern and western districts, in which
the native part of Kobe suffered severely
and railway communication between Toxic
and Yokohama and the southern port was
interrupted and is not yet completely re
stored. In Hiogo and Gifu prefectures enor-
nous damage has been done to property and
large number of lives lost by floods
which followed upon the heavy rain storms.
River embankments have been broken down,
thousands of houses demolished. bridges
washed away, roads destroyed and growing
crops devastated. The full amount of dam
age and loss of life have yet to be reported,
but 1t will amount to something enormous.
Hon John F.. Connolly, United States
consul at Kobe, was a passenger on the
China for Yokohama from Hong Kong. He
gave a sad account Of terrible havoc wrought
by the floods. The splendid reads are things
of the past, while the lower part of the
town Is in ruins and reeking with smells
of decay. Many of the bodies of victims
drowned in the overflow of the Minatogawa
were still lying unburied amid the ruins
and wreckage when he left and at another
season of the year. he feels confident the
stencil would quickly breed a pestilence.
The people are i'll sorry plight and they
are staring famine in the face. On Mr.
Connollys trip up he saw myriads of tiny
rice tassels floating about in great profusion,
wh.en indicate crops destroyed, and he
believed that great suffering will follow.

Here's q Goat That Shaves.

Mourn VERNON, O., Feb. 1.-The story
| of the New York goat that has lived and
I raised fiourishing family in Harlem on
diet OF tin cans, clothes lines, bill post
ers, hoopskirts and similar delicacies. is
completely overshadowed by the record
of an intelligent member of the goat
family here. The animal is the prop.
erty of Larry Dermody, railroad work
er. and is known popularity as "Billy"
Several years ago, owing to a disease
he had contracted about the jaws, it was
deemed advisable to clip "Billy's- whis-
kers, and he was taken to barber shop
for the purpose. The process proved a
success and the operation was repeated
several times with good results. But
when the whiskers grew again the facial
troubles returned to Billy and the shay
ing WAS again resorted to.
Finally the goat came 10 like the treat
ment, and no trouble was experienced in
getting him to undergo it. One day
Mr.. Dermoiy caught the animal and
examined him, preparatory to taking him
mp street for his regular shave. lie was
very much astonished to see that his low
er chin WAS shaved smoothly and clean
ly. When he walked into his barber
shop that evening he learned that the
goat had appeared and had his whiskers
removed. The BARRIERS thought nothing
OF the occurrence, but supposed that Lar
ry had accompanied the goat up street
and stopped in a neighboring store to
await the goats return.
Ever since thai time the goat appears
of has own accord at intervals of several
weeks. The time between visits always
depends upon the soreness developed 10y
the growth of bis whiskers.
