cloudburst here yesterday. Ten

creek to burst its banks and rush
through Coleman, village of less
than 1000 inhabitants. Bewildered
citizens, reused from their slumbers,
rushed into the streets and were
swept away. Many were saved by
catching hold of pieces of timber and
navigating them into eddes formed
by the swift current, where they were
drawn ashore.
Joseph Spath and John Fuleisstine
managed to mount their horses. They
dashed into the water and swan their
horses to a house where four little
girls were screaming for help, Each
rescued two of the children whom
they took upon their horses. The
animals were swept away, however,
in a noble effort to stem the swift
current, and all were drowned,

STEVE ERODE DYING.

Steve Brodie. the alleged bridge jump CT and one tim= king f the Bowery.' is slowly dying of consumption.
 He has gone to the mountains of Sul- livan county and now awaits admission to the Loomis Sanitarium at the little town of Liberty.
 According to a letter received by a friend of Brodie's his condition is hopeless. He is but a shadow of his former s- If and can barely walk about the grounds. Like all consumptives. however, he still clings to the hope of recovery.
 Brodie won fame through an alleged jump from the driv way of the Brook lyn bridge into the East river. He was the first to attempt it. and although creditable witnesses are lacking, yet the nOtOriety he acquired at the time made him famous, and he subsequently, made a fortune as the star of a typical Bowery melodrama.-New York Eeven- ing Journal.
