The Kanawha valley was visited yes
terday by one of the worst floods in
local history. After several days of
heavy rainfall the Kama wha river in
an unprecedentedly short time has
covered almost the entire valley.
Charleston is almost entirely under
water. Four feet surround the state
capitol. The mayor and leading cit

are distributing provisions and cloth
ing among the suffering. Consider
able damage has been caused TO the
coal property along the Kanawha
river. The Winifred coal tipple, docks
and dozen barges We're swept away
about ten miles above Charleston. The
Black Cat coal tipple, near the east
bank, was destroyed. The water
works, both gas plants and electric
light works were shut down and the
city was in darkness. Hundreds of
families are quartered in the city
building, capitol, courthouse and other
| buildings. Much distress prevails. A
considerable distance of the Kanawha
& Michigan railway between here and
Point Pleasant is under water, and it
will be four or five days before traffic
| is resumed. The indications, however,
are that the food has reached its

The deed was done with a large
hammer, the heads of the victim: being
crushed almost TO jelly. The children
