Bluefield, W. Va (SpeciaD. This en-
tire section has just been visited by a
food the extent OF which in all proba-
bility will equal or exceed that OF Johns
town in 1890 so far as the loss OF prop
crty is concerned
Early Sunday morning. shortly after
midnight. heavy downpour OF rain be
gan. accompanied by severe electric
storm, and steadily increased in vio-
lence until 10 a. m. then ceasing Tor
several hours and beginning again with
renewed violence This continued
throughout the day and night.
Many miles OF the Norfolk and West
ern railroad track, bridges and telegraph
lines are entirely destroyed and COM
munication is entirely cut off west OF
Elkhorn so that it is impossible to learn
the full extent OF the loss OF life and
property. but officials OF the coal opera
tions located in the stricken district
have sent out messengers to Elkhorn,
the terminus OF both telegraphic and
railroad communication, and have re-
ceived a report that conservative esti-
mate as to the loss of life will reach 200.
Some OF the drowned are among the
most prominent people OF the coal fields.
The Pocahontas coal field is located
in a basin with high mountain ranges
on either side, Elkhorn creek flowing
through the center OF the basin, which
ranges from one-fourth to ono mile in
width. From Ennis, w. Va. to Vivian
Yard CTidewater Postofice). w. Va. a
distance OF 10 miles. miners cabins. coal
company commissaries and coke plants
line this basin.
Elkhorn creek, being fed by numer-
Gus small streams coming from the
mountain sides, rises very rapidly, and
the cloudburst came so suddenly that the
entire basin between the two mountain
ranges was flooded, and before the ter
ror-stricken people realized what was
upon them they were carried down by
the food, which swept everything in its
path. The little town OF Keystone, with
a population OF about 1000, seems the
greatest sufferer, practically the entire
town being washed away This town is
the principal one in the Pocahontas coal
field, and is located near its centre. 1t
was to a great extent headquarters from
which the mining population purchased
supplies, and was also the only place in
the field where whisky could be pur-
chased. At this place there were some
II to IS saloons, all OF which we're
washed away except one. The report
comes that the mining population are
now occupying the banks of the
streams below catching the merchandise
and barrels OF whisky and beer as they
float down. A great number of the
coal and coke plants throughout the
Pocahontas field are reported practical
ly destroyed and in some instances en-
tirely washed away
ON account of the very high water
which has flooded the region and pre-
vented communication anything like a
correct estimate OF the loss of property
is impossible, but from the best inior-
nation obtainable the loss will easily
reach $1,000 900.
AT Landgraf the beautiful home OF
General Manager Ord is reported gone,
but his family is said to be safe.

The "American Red Book"

The American Red Book for 1893,
comprising the foreign relations during
the cventful period OF the Spanish
American War, has just made its ap-
pcarance. 1t contains an exhaustive
summary of official correspondence.
1t appears that just before the war
with Spain broke out Minister Wood
ford, at Madrid. sent word that the
Queen Regent, yielding to the request of
the Pope, was about to decree termna-
ton of the war in Cuba for period of
six months. Mr.. Woodford was hopeful
this would avert crisis in the trouble
between Spain and the United States, but
this hope was not realized. as Congress
soon after adopted the resolutions of in
tervention.
The foreign relations with other coun-
tries during 1903 also are treated. Mr.
Sherman, then Secretary of State, had
spirited exchange with the Austrian Min
ister at Washington. Mr. Henglemuller.
The latter had said that his Government
would hold the United States Govern
ment responsible for the rioting at Lat
timer, Pa. Mr. Sherman took sharp is
size with the remarkable language"
used by the Minister and registered an
absolute dissent from some OF his views

Made a Slight Mistake.

Before accepting an invitation 1t Is
as well to be sure it is given in good
faith. After an afternoon service held
many years ago in a certain village in
Scotland. the preacher, stranger, who
had Ofiiciated, accompanied one Of the
elders of the congregation home, and
was introduced to his wife. The GOOD
man having asked the clergyman to
stay to dinner, the latter, after little
pressing, consented.
The good lady hurried off to prepare
for the unexpected guest, and seeing,
as she thought, her husband washing,
as was the custom in those days. at
the family sink, she seized the family
Bible. approached stealthily from be-
hind and brought down the ponderous
tome upon his bald pate, exclaiming:
TAX ye that for bringing hungry
preachers here to dinner every time
they come to the parish"
AS soon as the assaulted one could
get the suds out Of his eyes he looked
about him. and, after thinking the mat
ter out. concluded that the old lady had
made slight mistake. She, too. came
to the same conclusion when, on re-
turning to the parlor. she beheld her
husband patiently waiting for his rev.
erend friend.

Unexpected.

One of the district school trustees
was a crank on the subject Of fire,
and when he called round with the ex.
aiming board he always confined his
remarks to question addressed to the
pupils as to what they would do In
case the building should catch fire.
The teacher was acquainted with his
hobby, so she prompted her scholars
as to the answers they should give
when he rose to PROFOUND his acCus-
toned inquiry. When the board called,
however, this particular trustee, per-
haps from a desire to emulate his as
sociates in their addresses, rose and
said:
You boys and girls have paid such
attention to Mr.. Jones remarks,
wonder what you would do, now, If l
were to make you a little speech?"
Quick as thought hundred voices
piped in unison:

OUR AMBITION
To Send Fifty <opl~
To Buffalo
At OUR OWN EXPENSE
Bids Fair To Be Realized
In the Present Contest

1t looks now as though the TELE.
GRAM S ambition to send so people to
buffalo at it's own expense would be
realized. The list is rapidly growing
as the public is coming to realize
the full meaning OF this remarkable
offer.
1t is probable that all Of our read.
erS have complete understanding Of
the conditions of the contest but in
case they have not it may be well to
say that there is no long drawn out
set Of complicated rules and regula-
tions.
In brief it is as follows: - ''For
every subscription OF the TELEGRAM
that is presented at this office certif
Gates will be issued in a manner SINH
lar to that which was adopted during
the Quaker Range contest: for every
years subscription will be given GER

to the tabulated form below printed

the manner above described, that is

ing bard and room.
The winner Of this contest Shall
have the privilege of choosing one
other person to accompany him or
ner said personoto 60 to Buffalo at
the expense of the TELEGRAM in the
the same way
But this does not end the affair by
any means, The TELEGRAM proposes
to see that no person who enters the
contest and takes any interest in the
same shall come out loser. We
therefore make further inducement
most remarkable and attractive.
Every contestant, outside OF the one
who is victorious, who shall by )
O'Clock p ~, August 3lst, 1901, have
turned in $4,000 votes will also be
given free trip to Buffalo, including
transportation and bard and room at
the Alcazar Hotel for five days curing
the Exposition. If there are 80 who
take advantage Of this extraordinary |
offer it will please the III nagement of
the TELEGRAM so times more than if
there is but ore. 1.-The more the |,

at home from the Exposition because
you Can afford to go. That would

this one is staring you in the face.

contests given last winter, the small.
est number of votes presented by
winner was 5000: the largest was
about $4,000 /, this contest you
have to turn in only $4,000 to be

of the equivalent of fifty new subscri
