rible floods occurred in New South

some hundreds of people were rendered
homeless, WHALE the property loss was
enormous.
The provincial government of British
Columbia has announced that ii will op-

DEATH IN STORM.
Fourteen Killed In New York and
Vicinity,


New York, Aug. 13.-One of the most
disastrous summer storms New York has
experienced in years swept over the city
yesterday afternoon, leaving death and
wreckage in its wake. 1t brushed aside
the heat wave, cooled the atmosphere and
then quickly subsided.
Fourteen persons Were killed by drown
ing, by lightning strokes, by heart strokes
and by fire the direct results of the storm
in and around New York
Small boats were rocked upon fierce
waves where a few moments before per-
feet calm had prevailed. In many in
stances they We're overturned, and their
merrymaking occupants were battling
for their lives in the seething waters.
The lightning struck many places, infict.
ing instant death to some and playing
pranks upon others who received its full
shock.
The most peculiar incident of the storm
was perhaps the escape of James Brown
and his family on the heights above
Highbridge. Brown had started for a
days outing with his wife, their five
children and two neighbors.
When the rain began to fall they took
refuge under big tree, as an umbrella
was almost useless. A bolt of lightning
passed through the tree, and the entire
party fell stunned and almost stripped
They had lost their clothes, their shoes
had been ripped from their feet, they had
been burned, hut all will recover. The
infant in Mrs. Browns arms was practi.
cally uninjured.
Edward Il. Benner, a Brooklyn cyclSt,
was killed at Bayshore. A boy standing
near him was paralyzed by the shock, and
nine other persons We're knocked down
and stunned.
Two men We're burned to death in n
barn near Flushing, n. Y, while trying
to save cows, and boy in the same
neighborhOod was instantly killed by n
stroke.
Many eXcursiOnists had thrilling eXpe.
riences on the big pleasure steamers and
barges that were out during the storm.
The only casualties reported, however,
We're to those who had yentured out in
smaller craft.
At Tenaily, n. J., one woman was
killed and three others so seriously iniur.
ed by a single bolt that they will probably
die. When the storm came up, Mrs.
Mouth and her two daughters, Lizzie
and Nellie, and a woman friend were
sitting under a grape arbor back of the
house When the storm was upon them,
they jumped up and ran for the house.
As they were running a bolt struck in
their midst and killed Miss Lizzie Mouth.
Nellie Mouth was frightfully burned
about the body and face, and her moth
er was also burned in about the same
manner. The visitor, whose name has
not been learned here, was burned as
were the mother and daughter and also
had her nose cut off by the flash of fire.
The three injured women are said to be
In immediate danger of death.

Poisoned With Ink.

Mrs. Frank Pollock, Of Wilkesbarrc
poured ink on some severe scalds and is
now in a serious condition, suffering
with blood poisoning. On Friday night,
while carrying pail of boiling water,
she stumbled and it was spilled over her
legs, scalding her severely. Neighbors
did what they could for her, and one OF
them, Mrs. Ruppan, suggested ink to
relieve the pain, saying she had heard
it was good for burns. Mrs. Pollock S
legs were bathed with ink and bandaged
with ink-soaked cloths. The pain,
however, became so great that a physi-
clan was called to attend to her yester-
day.
He did not know until he examined
the woman's injuries what had been
done and seeing the legs swollen and
strangely black, demanded the cause.
Mrs. Pollock told it hesitatingly, and
said that Mrs. Ruppan had intended no
harm. Mrs. Ruppan herself insisted
that ink was good for some kind of
burns, but she suggested she had used
the wrong kind.
The ink caused blood poisoning, and
Mrs. Pollock is in dangerous condition

engine and one car. AT the point at
which the collision occurred there is a
sharp curve in the road, and the omnibus
came along at good rate of speed, the
occupants being unconscious of any i'm
pending danger. As the bus swung
around the curve the engine and cal
came in sight. 1t was too late to stop
either the omnibus or the train, and AZ
the driver of the former whipped up the
four horses to cross the track ahead of
the train the latter crashed into its mid.
die. The occupants were thrown in all
directions, bruised and bleeding. The II
dead were killed outright. Physicians

No Waterman is employed to warn
teams or pedestrians of an approaching
train, and those living in the vicinity
state that it is impossible to hear an ap,
preaching train.
feature of the accident was that the
horses drawing the bus escaped unhurt.

SERIOUS NAVAL DISASTER.



Paris, Aug. 13.-During maneuvers OF
the French fleet off Cape st. Vincent a
collision occurred between the first class
battleship Brcnnus, flying the flag of
Vice Admiral Fournier, commander of
the fleet and the torpedo boat destroyer
France.
The France sank Immediately. The
accident was due to the fact that the
France turned to the right when ordered
to the left.
Details thus far received are very mca-
ger, but only small portion of the crew.
consisting of four officers and IS men.
were saved. 1t is believed that no fewer
than 30 were lost, and great anxiety is
felt here.
The France, which was of 313 tons
displacement, was recent addition to
she French navy.
1t is known that out of the crew of 30
anly fourteen We're saved. Among those
'ost were three officers, Captain Maui
dut du PlessiX, the second lieutenant
and the chief engineer.
Admiral Fournier, in a dispatch from
Cadiz, says that at the time of the ac-
cident the Brcnnus was steaming ahead
of the France on the left. The flagship
and the torpedo boat destroyer were eX-
changing luminous signals, when the lat
ter approached too near the Brennus.
The captain of the France ordered his
helmsman to steer 20 degrees to the left
while he increased speed. The man mis-
understood or badly executed the order,
steering to the right, which brought the
destroyer under the rail of the Brennus.
