MIRACULOUS
Was Walter Smart's Escape
From Death.
Fell Beween Two Cars and Sustained
Severe Injuries.

Walter Smart, one Of the most popu-
lar young men Of this city, had a most
miraculous escape from death last
week. When near Marengo. Ind, a
town on the L. & N. railroad, about eight
miles east Of New Albany, he attempted
to pass from one coach to another while
the train was running at a speed Of forty
Eve miles an hour. Just as he did 80,
the train struck curve and low Joint,
and the consequent lurch II gave caused
Mr.. Smart to lose his balance 30 that he
fell forward. and partially hung between
the cars. He struck on his elbow and II
was only by the exercise Of rare presence
Of mind and superhuman strength that
he saved himself from dropping to the
road bed and being ground TO pieces on
the track. He sustained severe injuries
the cap Of his right shoulder being bro
ken and the muscles OF his arm being
torn away.
Walter Smrrt is representing the Vers-
tegg-Grant Shoe Company, Of st. Louis,
and has been compelled to lay off on &C.
count Of his injuries.

Catastrophe In Which Hundreds
Loose Their Lives.
Shawneetown, ILL.,, Swept Complete
Iy Out of Existence.
OHIO BREAKS THROUGH A LEvEE.

EVANSVILLE, IND. April AT z
o'clock Sunday afternoon the levee
which surrounded the town OF Shawnee
town, Ill. and kept the water Of the flood
from it, gave way and the raging waters
rushed in, giving the people no warning
OF their doom.
Half the houses we're washed away in
half an hour. The lights were all put
out and the town was in the darkness OF
Egypt, 80, that the people could not see
in what direction safety might lie. There
was no living soul left in a one-story
house. The houses that were two stories
high were covered with struggling, fran
tic human beings, many OF whom had to
remain in their perilous positions until
long after midnight, and some there
were who were not rescued until after
daylight.
There was no help for the people at
home, and the telephone and telegraph
communication was cut off in the first
few minutes of the catastrophe. The
telephone operator there called up the
Evansville operator and said the levee
was broken and hundreds were drown
ing. The voice stopped in the middle
Of a sentence, and the operator may have
persisted at her post.
The noon bulletin from Shawneetown
says that four hundred bodies have been
recovered and three hundred are yet
among the missing. There are no coffius
to bury the dead and in many families
there is no one left to mourn.
The survivors are left ON the hilltops
at the back of the town and on the tops
OF a few houses in the highest part Of
the place. They are without food or
shelter and in the cold are suffering
terribly.

TRINITY'S CHIN ES.
The Crowds That Heard Them East Night
Much smaller Than Usual.

The Crowds That Hoard Them last Night
Much smaller Than Usual.
The celebration in City Hall Park and the
abominable weather made the crowd before old
Trinity smaller than 1t usually is on New Years
Eve.
There were perhaps 5000 persons gathered
about tho head OF Wall Street to hear the
chimes ring out the old year and ring in the
new. Besides, there were many who came in
carriages. Wall street being filed with car
riages and stages as far east ns Nassau street,
and Rector and Pine having their quota.
There was n very large force of police in
Broadway In front Of the church. but they had
little to do. for tho crowd was content to seek
the shelter Of the buildings and keep out of the
driving rain and slcct.
At u quarter before IL, when tho bells began
to ring, 1t was almost unbearRble In tho open
air. Tho wind swept up through Broadway
with n force that turned umbrellas inside out in
q jiffy. that played all kinds of pranks with
wOmen's skirts. and sent before II sheets Of
slcet that stung the face.
The bells at times rang out loud and clear. but
again the sounds were caught in the whIstling
gale and carried away SO that they could not he
and the footing Of the horns. The chimes were
played by Mr.. A. Meislahn. There were four
teen selections, closing with Homo, Sweet
Home
AUD Lang Syne" was played Just before tho
great hell began to toll IL o'clock, and while
the bell was tolling. the chimes played Fare
well, Dear Old New York."
