CP0sslnE.

Columbus, o., July 1o.-An but one
William Reinhard, of this city, were
killed and the remaining one was bad
ly injured by Big Four passenger

Reinhard, aged 40; William Reinhard,

The accident occurred at the Wood
ward avenue crossing of the Big -Four
railroad and opposite the southwest en-
trance to the state fair grounds. Mr..
and Mrs. Reinhard and their five chill
dren, who resided at ESQ Donaldson
street, were out for an afternoon drive
in surrey.
They approached the railroad cross
ing from the east, arriving at that point
just as the west-bound passenger train,
arriving here ut 3: Is p. m. was due. An
eyewitness of the accident said he saw
the surrey crossing the tracks, and at
the same instant it was struck by the
train. The vehicle was knocked into
splinters, and Mr.. and Mrs. Rcinhard
and Arthur and Karl were killed out
right. Edward and William were so
badly injured that they died after be-
ing removed to a hospital. Clarence
sustained fractured collar bone and
other lesser injuries, but it is believed
he will recover. The horse which was
attached to the surrey was literally
ground to pieces. It is not known
whether any of the members of the un-
fortunate family were aware of the up-
proach of the train, but the circum-
stances indicate that they were not

IN NEED OF FOOD.
Sufferers from Recent Texas Floods
Number Nearly 100000
Loss Of Life.

st. Louis, July 1o.-A special to the
Post-Dispatch from Dallas, Tex, says:
Gov. Sayers in talk over the long dis
lance telephone from Austin request
ed the press to state that in addition
to money all character of clothing and
provisions are needed in the flood dis
trict. He suggests that parties con-
tributing such articles communicate
with him before shipments are made in
order that intelligent distribution may
be had. There are from $4,000 to 1o0,-
600 persons needing relief. About
100000 in money and supplies have
been contributed, but many times that
much is needed.
The governor figures the reports out
to show that the loss of life has been
comparatively small, not exceeding so
persons.
Another source gives the following
estimates: Deaths, IS: destitute suf-
ferers, $4,000; land under water, 10000
to $4,000 square miles; property losses,
100000
st. Louis, July 1o.-A special to the
Republic from Caldwell, Tex, says:
Estimates made by competent cotton
buyers as to the loss resulting from
damage to the cotton crop in the
Brazos, badly tax the credulity of per-
sons not familiar with the flood con-
ditions. Not less than 200 square miles
of cotton-bearing land has been food
ed. Every acre of it would have pro-
duced big bale. Basing the loss on
five-cent figures, the crop destroyed on
these plantations was worth almost
$4,ooo,ooo. Well-informed persons are
of the opinion that this unprecedented
rise in the Brazos has cost the people
of Texas little less than $4,000 600.
Thousands of mules have been drowned,
al of the domestic animals have per-
ished, rented houses and negro quar-
tcrs have been swept away. The gins
are nearly all ruined, and hundreds of
plantation stores carrying big stocks
of general merchandise are under wa
ter. Not a bridge has escaped, and not
train has passed over the Santa Fe
railroad between BRENNAN and Milino
for week.

Makes Frank Admission.

New York, July ll.-Tbe report OF
Capt. Watkins of the stranling of the
American line steamship Paris was
made public Monday by the local board
of steamboat inspectors. Capt. Wat
kins makes no attempt to eyada .espon-
siblity for the accident, h1t, on the
contrary, says frankly that :;>e strand
ing of the ship was the result of an un-
accountable error on his part. The ac-
cident, he says, was not due to any want
of thought OF anxiety about his vessel
but resulted from a mistake he made in
calculating the position of the ship
The local inspectors have suspended
Capt. Watkins license as master OF
ocean steamers for two years.

cred that John Lynch, of this city, is
the heir of William Lynch, the Kenosha
wis., centenarian who died leaving an

Appeal to Western Farmers.

Houston, Tex, July 1.-the local re-
lief committee which is caring for the
$4,000 small farmers whose crops we're
utterly destroyed by the recent flood in
the valley of the BraZos and it's many
tributaries makes an appeal to the
farmers Of the west. The only crop
which these people can raise is early
maturing corn, and there is no seed for
it in this country. The corn that is left
is not fit for seed, as it cannot mature
in time. The local committee, of which
ex-United States District Attorney
Taliafcrro is chairman, asks for seed
corn Of the early maturing kind to be
distributed to the stricken farmers.

John was one of us. Dick Taylor loved
him as though he'd been his brother,

your story"
It was late that night when Tom and
Green returned to their tent. 1t had
been decided to make sure that the
man had not arrived from the mine,
and, should they be unable TO hear of
him, they were TO start on the day fol-
lowing.
The sailor threw himself down on his
bed of boughs and was asleep almost in
stantly, but Tom Scott could see pair
of blue eyes when his own were tightly
shut. His dreams that night were a
sad tumble of gold mines and fair dam
sells in distress, and he awoke but little
refreshed.
The day was spent in quiet but
fruitless inquiries for the man they

sought, and the following morning a
little caravan filed away from the har.
Dor toward the wild northern country.
Tom led the way on his horse, the pack
horses came next, Avery and his daugh-
ter followed and Green brought up the
rear.

and it was with light heart that Tom
looked back over the wel-fitted string
of animals and exclaimed:
'If we can only meet the man from
the mine we shall be in luck! We have
provisions enough for all handsl!'
He would not have felt so happy could
he have known that at that moment
the man he mentioned was seated by
campfire with Rider and his companion
reading John Avery s. will and the letter
written by Dick Taylor.
Leaving Tom and his party fairly on
their way, we must return to Obed
Rider and his new friend, who were
pushing forward as fast as possible.
Their undue haste the first day had
proved disastrous. for one of their pack
horses had gone lame, and they were
obliged to abandon it or go into camp.
They chose the former, dividing it's bur
den among the others as best they
could.
The second night found them many
miles on their journey, but as night
came on the weary beasts could hardly
be forced ahead. and Hank Bowers
cursed the delay roundly.

DELIGHTFUL EVENT
Charity Ball Proves a Great
Financial and Social Success.
The SauIpaugh is the Scene of a Bril-.
liant Party of Mankato's
Elite.

The Relief society fairly outdid it.
self Friday in the splendid success
of the annual reception and ball which
greeted the efforts of the ladies who
have worked SO industriously the past
two weeks in behalf of the needy of
our city. The response of our PEOPLE
to the call of the ladies composing the
society has never had its equal in Man
kato's charity work, and the event
proved true to the point of fiattery that
a worthy cause, managed and conduct
cd by vigorous, determined and tireless
women, can be relied upon to reach
the hearts of our generous citizens. 1t
would not only be invidious but highly
improper as we'll, to make individual
reference to any particular member of
the Relief society in connection with
the work performed or results attained.
Every member did whatever she could
to make the event the success it proved,
and all are, therefore, without dis
tinction, entitled to equal praise for
the noble efforts put forth in the name
of Charity. And as true it is that all
will share alike the needy mothers
blessings and the destitute children's
gratitude, as occasion shall arise from
time Co time during the cold winter
now upon us when, through their un-
selfish devotion to the cause of suffer
ing humanity, the good ladies of the
society shall be on hand to give relief,
and bring a spark of sunlight into
homes clouded by poverty and made
cheerless by adversity and sickness.
1t is meet and proper in this con-
nection, and the Free Press cheerfully
gives public acknowledgment to Mr..
and Mrs. Fred H. Snyder for the
generosity of their act in throwing
open The Saulp ugh without money
and without price The ladies of the
Relief society are not alone in their
appreciation of this kindly act. The
whole city is indebted to them for their
generosity, and especially are those
who thronged the corridors, parlors
and dancing hall, and spent an evening
of exceptional pleasure and enjoyment,
grateful for the accommodations so
generously provided and for the hos
pitality so lavishly displayed.
The dining room of the hotel, from
nine until one o'clock was the scene of
merry party of dancers. The ladies
were attired with unusual elegance
and good taste, and young and old
mingled together as members of one
family, bent upon good time. And
they had it.
The ladies ordinary was most beauti.
fully decorated for the serving of re-
freshments, and the four hundred
people, were served with becoming
promptness and with results wholly
satisfying. Palms and cut flowers
were everywhere visible about the
rooms, and with the gaily dressed
ladies, wearing their prettiest smiles,
the sight was one as inspiring as it was
pleasing,
The ladies of the Relief society in
particular, and the citizens generally
who have an interest in the care of the
poor are to be congratulated upon the
magnificent success attending the
charity ball. The society will realize
a net revenue of about $340, This is
the largest sum eyer secured through a
like entertainment,
