insured. Loss $25000O.
Grand Rapids, Mich, July 3.-The big
reservoir of the city water works system,
located on the hill in the northern part of
the city burst at 5 a. m. yesterday. More
than l00OO0,00O gallons of water was let
loose and rushed through the valley adj
jacent, flooding an area peopled by about
5000 persons,
Many dwellings were washed away. 9TH
ers We're badly damaged and all those
within a district for three blocks square
were either wholly or partly filled with
sand. None Of the buildings damaged was
OF Il costly character as they were for
most part homes of working men. Not u
house with the sweep of the flood eseap-
ed damage.
The tracks of the Detroit, Grand Haven
< Milwaukee railroad, a short distance
north of the reservoir, were undermined
and trains ON that road were obliged to
make detour via other roads.
The break was first seen by Bert Bots
ford, a boy delivering morning newspapers.
1t was then only a tiny stream, but realiz-
ing the danger, the boy aroused hundreds
from their sleep and urged them to escape.
The reservoir gave way at the gate house
near Livingston street, pouring down the
hill IA stream 36 feet wide and 10 feet deep.
\ number of houses were swept from their
foundations and carried away in the flood
and crushed. Some streets were torn up
to Il depth of 40 feet.
Mrs. Cooper of Clancy street was liter
ally swept out of her house by the flood.
She was carried to the bottom of the hill
and buried to her neck in sand. She was
rescued alive but will probably die,
! No other fatalities or serious injuries
were reported. A rough estimate places the
damage at 100000.
One hundred houses in all were wrecked
OF badly damaged. The break in the res
ervoir grew until it was 30 feet wide and
more than 10 feet deep.

Kansas City, July At is the Fourth
OF July and the opening day of the dem
ocratic national convention. After all of
the heat and turmoil and preparation, the
day is here. All roads lead here, where
at Il o'clock Chairman Jones of the ma
tional committee calls the convention to
order. Throughout the night there has
been no sleep, for the sky has been lurid
and the sound deafening from rockets,
cannon and every device for noisy demon
STATIONS And with the daylight the
shock has increased into one long con-
tinued roar, in which the patriotism OF
the day and the enthusiasm of the party
are blended The heat is still intense
and the brisk breeze does not relieve the
oppressiveness of the day.

Fooled by an Accident.

Chicago, July "a bold attempt by
Two masked men to loot the safe in the
Office of the Globe Land Company was
frustrated by an accident that may prove
fatal to one of the marauders. In explod-
ing dynamite to shatter the lock OF the
inner door of the safe one of the men had
his right hand torn away and his arm shat
tered, while the other thief was struck in
the face by a flying fragment of steel.
The injured men fled, leaving gagged and
bound ON the floor three men employed by
the company whom they had surprised
sleeping in the room adjoining the office on
the second floor. The mishap saved large
sum to the company, the officials intimat-
ing that the safe contained thousands Of
dollars, but refusing to disclose the actual
amount.

The Vice Presidency,

Everything relating to the vice presi
dental nomination is in the air today. All
seem to be waiting for something to turn
up. Mr. Shiyeley or Indiana insists that
he is not candidate, and it appears likely
now that the convention will accept him
at his word. Senator Hill is the foremost
figure in the problem. That he would ac-
cept the nomination if the party should
demand him there is no doubt, but his
friends consistently maintain that he is not
in the race.
ToWne of Minnesota would be a power
full candidate if he had not been nominated
already by the populists. Opposition to
him has developed on the ground that this
convention should nominate straight out
democrat, rather than silver republican
or populist.
