from her finger. 1t was a ring she sci.

membered about it was that she had
just washed her hands. Fearing it had
slipped off in the operation the plumb
er was quickly called in and all the
traps opened, with the faint hope of
finding the jewel, but without avail,
and sorrow reigned in the household,
for the diamond was not only intrinsic

souvenir. Some time later the set bowl
in the bathroom had to be replaced, and

VICTIMS ARE MANY.
Great Havoc Created by Floods in
the East.

Pittsburgh, Pa, Nov. 2s.--After
three days Of incessant rain, flood
unprecedented for this season of the
year and quite unexpected in its fury
swept down the Monongahela and
Allegheny rivers Monday night. In
their mad rush the waters ruined
hundreds of thousands of dollars
worth of property, caused the loss
of at least three lives, temporarily
threw out Of employment thousands
of workmen by the forced suspen-
sion of the many industrial establish
ments lining the banks of both
streams and rendered hundreds of
families homeless.
The fatalities are:
Frederick Koppman, aged IS years
tripped and fell, breaking his neck, while
removing goods from his home.
Joseph Davis.
Joseph Flocker, mill worker, drowned
by the capsizing of a skiff in the Allegheny,
A November flood is quite common,
but it rarely reaches the danger line
and for this reason the steady rains
of the past few days caused no alarm.
The precipitation had been heavier
than usual in the mountains at the
headwaters of both rivers, however,
and it was not until late Monday
that the warning was sent out that
both streams were getting beyond
their banks and that there was a
dangerous flood threatened The re-
suit was the fast rising waters caught
many wholly unprepared and much
valuable property that was tied up
for only a moderate stage was car
ried away.
Hundreds of Families Driven Ont.
The lowlands in Pittsburgh. Al
legheny, South Pittsburgh, Sharps-
burg and McKeesport are inundated
and nearly every plant fronting the
two rivers have been forced to shut
down. Hundreds of families in these
districts have either been driven from
their homes or are living in the up
per floors and using skiffs. There
were many narrow escapes from
drowning during the night and sew
eral men are reported to the police
as missing, but the only known fatali-
ties directly traceable to the food
were those of Koppman, Flocker and
Davis, reported above.
Davis and Flocker, with three COM
panions, attempted to row across the
Allegheny in a skiff, which became
unmanageable and collided with a
coal boat. The men were thrown into
the river and Davis and Flocker
drowned. The others clung to the
upturned boat and were rescued after
being carried two miles down the
river

HOPE ABANDONED.
covery-Death Expected
Very Soon.

st. Paul, Mimi, Nov. 27.-H now
seems to be simply question OF
hours until United States Senator
Cushman Kellogg Davis passes away,
the reports from his bedside being
that his strength is slowly ebbing.
His physicians do not anticipate dis
solution Immediately, hut practical
ly admit that so far as any human
agency is able to know death is GER
tain. The family have all along been
buoyed up with faint hope that the
statesman might have greater reserve
strength and be able to battle the dis
ease, but they seem to have at last
abandoned even this faint hope and
are anXiously awaiting the end. Sun
day night showed a recurrence of the
delirium of Friday night in fully as
pronounced a form, and none of the
family were able to secure rest dur.
ing the night. Only three hours
sleep was secured by the patient,
and during the early morning Mon
day he was noticeably weaker, while
as the day advanced the weakness
became more pronounced. He was
unable to take much nourishment
and there was even difficulty in adj
ministering the necessary medicines.
His wife, parents and sisters kept
close at hand during the day and all
that could be done to alleviate his
suffering was done by nurses and
loved ones. When not delirious he
sank into a stupor and seemed little
conscious of what was passing about
him. Drs. Stone and Lancaster al
ternate now in spending nights at the
bedside. In his moments of semi
consciousness the senator will ex-
claim about his desire to live and ex-
press his wish for few years more
life, as he feels he is needed in the
senate. His attendants are much af-
fected with the earnestness with
which he states his belief in the me-
cessity for him on the floor of the
senate.

CAUSES APPREHENSION.
Rumor of Railway Disaster In West
Yirginia-ImpOssible to
Secure News.

Cincinnati, Nov. 27.-There has been
great apprehension over report about
a Chesapeake & Ohio passenger train
going through the Greenbrier river
bridge, near Hinton, w. Va. All
through wires on that line are down
and it is impossible to reach Green
brier river or any points near it. Mes
sages have been sent to New York and
elsewhere, and that place caunot be
reached from either the east or the
west. Many messages have been sent
by those who have had friends on that
road Monday, as it was not known what
train, if any, went through the bridge,
but no response to any messages have
been received, and they are accepted
only subject to delay. Charles B. Ryan,
assistant general passenger agent Of
the Chesapeake & Ohio railway, is here,
and he discredits the story entirely.
He said there was a very bad land
slide near one of the Greenbrier river
bridges, not far from White Sulphur
Springs, and it has compelled them 10
transfer passengers during the day.
Owing to the high water in the river,
no attempt to transfer passengers was
made Monday night, and two trains
are being held at Anderson, west of
White Sulphur Springs, and it is quite
likely that trains are also being held
on the other side of White Sulphur
Springs. There are three bridges on
this line over Greenbrier river, and the
reports do not indicate at which bridge
the accident occurred, so that it is quite
likely that the reports were started be-
cause of the landslide near White Sui
phur Springs, and the fact that trains
that were due both east and west Of that
point were not heard from on account
of the wires being down.

A DOGS PERSISTENCE.
Wonderful Determination of n Hunt
ing Dog That freed a Bear
In California.

The mysterious disappearance of two
valuable hounds owned by A. w. Combs,
of Oakland, has been explained, and
the story behind it proves one of the
most remarkable cases of canine faith
fulness and determination ever record
ed. Combs was one of party of hunt
ers who returned a few days ago from
a weeks hunting trip in the mountains
back of Crescent City, Del Norte coun.
ty, says the San Francisco Chronicle.
The party had taken along four
hounds, which were missed during the
first night in the mountains. They had
evidently strayed away during the
night and for the following four days
the hunters were without their com
panions. On the fourth day, however,
two of the hounds returned to camp,
the two belonging to Combs being final
ly given up for lost or stolen. When
the hunters were ready to start for
home they informed Superior Judge
Cutler of the mysterious disappearance
of the two hounds and requested him to
advertise reward for their return in
One day subsequently Mr.. Combs re-
ceiyed letter from Judge Cutler con.
veying the happy news that the hounds
had been recovered. Judge Cutler
writes that they were found in the
mountains several miles from where
the oaklanders had been hunting by a
miner, who had heard them barking for
several days. The miner had gone to
investigate and found two hounds hold
ing the fort at the base of a large tree,
into which bear had climbed for
safety from their attack. This was
nine days after they had been missed
from the hunters camp, and for sew
eral days they had remained on watch
at this particular tree. They were COM
pletely exhausted and very nearly
starved to death, as was also the bear,
which the miner killed.

THE DELToID MUSCLE.
Business of the Custom
TaIIors.

at is rare thing" said the talking
man, relates the Washington Star, Ito
find merchant tailor who can get a
perfect fit in the clothes he makes.
So rare in fact that have sometimes
thought that tailors, of all artisans,
knew least how to do their work right.
Yet the tailor, or the cutter rather, is
not always to blame, for perfectly cut
garment may be often set askew by a
careless maker, who by crooked seam
or slight departure from the line set
for his needle may throw the whole
thing out of plumb. Still, good tailor
ought to know when a garment fts,
and should either be able to correct its
unfitness or not let it leave the shop.
Speaking of the cutting part, I remem-
Der an incident that occurred once at
natl. The subject for discussion was
the cutting and fitting of garments,
and testy old Scotchman had the floor.
He said in effect that IL coat were
cut to set right upon the deltoid muscle
that the wearer would always find ii
comfortable and well fitting.
In fact said he, the deltoid mus

The Scotchman turned ON him
sharply.
Sir he said, angrily, do you claim
to be cutter and not know where the
deltoid muscle is located? Don't you
know, sir, that knowledge of the hui
man antony is as important to the
tailor as it is to the surgeon? Do you
expect to cut garment to fit an object
whose every line and curve you do not
know? You might as well try to fit a
plug to hole without knowing the size
of the hole. No, sir, the gentleman will
not state what and where the deltoid
muscle is. 1t is your duty, sir, to know
the deltoid muscle; not mine to in
