FEARFUL FLOODS
IDevaState Sections of Georgia, Ala
bama and South Carolina.

New York, Jun 25.-Reports receiv-
ed here from many points in Georgia
and portions of Alabama and South
carolina show hat the recent heavy
rains have inundated a vast territory
Iand caused enormous damage to
bridges n farming property. Crops,
Including cotton, corn, and especially
fruit, which was nearing maturity
when the wet season began, have
been greatly injured and caused a loss
of a vast amount to the farmers of the
southern states. The rainfall has been
unprecedented. All the streams are out
of their banks and carrying away
bridges n ferries in large numbers.
tine sub-structure of the new bridge
over the Ocmulgee river at Macon
was carried away today.
Reports say the Savannah river at
Augusta was twenty-nine feet at noon
and rising two inches per hour. The
mills there are closed down on account
OF backwater in the canal.
AT Rome, Ca, the river is eighteen
ifeet above low-water mark and rising
one inch per hour.
At West Point, Ga, the Chattahoo-
lchee river reached twenty feet above
low water mark.
A tornado was reported near Hunts
willie, Ala, sweeping the country, but
no loss of life is known.
Inc lowlandS have been devastated
and only the higher farming lands are
untouched.
indications are for a cessation of the
rain, which will cause the streams to
fall rapidly.

HILL FOR VICE PRESIDENT
Georgia Delegates " H1m-EHorts
for Instructions for Him In
Convention Today.

Atlanta, Ga, June 25.-Among the
representatives Of the democracy of
Georgia who will leave for Kansas
City Sunday to attend the national
convention the mention of D. B. Hill
as Bryan's running mate has been re-
ceived with great favor. Elliott Dan
forth, of New York, Amos Cummings,
of New York, and ex-Congressman
Shiveley, of Indiana, will also not be
without supporters in the Georgia del
egation.
Little Rock, Ark, June 25.-An effort
will be made in the democratic state
convention tomorrow to instruct for
D.. B. Hill, of New York, for vice pres
ident. The movement will be lead by
Representative Parker. Chairman
Jones, of the national committee, is a
delegate to the convention and he will
probably favor an uninstructed del
egation on the vice presidential ques-
ton. The warmest question will be on
national committeeman, the candidates
being Congressman T. c.. McRae and
former Governor J.. P. Clark. Senator
Jones is said to favor McRae-
Attorney General JEFF Davis will be
nominated for governor by acclama-
ton and will be also sent to the Kan
SaS City convention.

some may be buried at McDonough.
Others will be sent to their homes as
fast as their proper addresses can be
lascertained. Only three women were
ION the train. Two escaped. 1t is pre-
Isumed that the other persisted, but the
body has not yet beer found.
A section boss and a gang of eight
negroes occupied seats in. the second
tclass coach. They were on their way
to repair a washout on h Georgia
Midland and Gulf road. Not one Of
them escaped when the car went down.
THE PULLMAN PARTED FORM
TRAIN.
Especial to Baltimore Sum-
McDonough, Ga, Jun 24--One of
the most peculiar features Of the awful
railroad wreck here was the manner
in which the occupants of the Pullman
car escaped destruction.
The car, as is always customary,
was last on the train. When the engine
and three preceding coaches look their
awful plunge the Pullman vas vio-
llently ~uncoupled and forced to one side
of the culvert. There it lay safe from
the flames and flood, which were
drowning and roasting alive the other
lun~fortunates.
H. r. Gresham, the Pullman conduc-
tor, failed to escape, for the reason that
he was in the other section of the train
when the collapse occurred.
lTHIRTY-SEVEN BODIES RECOV-
Erred.
