A RAILROAD ESTIMATE.



NEW YORK, June 24.-Word was re-
ceived by Henry Fink, president of the
Norfolk & Western railroad to-day
from General Manager L. E. Johnson,
of the system, to the effect that the to-
tai loss of life by the West Virginia
floods would amount to abouts ixty.
Considerable damage had been done to
a number of mines, but some of the
more important mines were only slight
ly damaged and would begin loading
coal tomorrow. The dispatch added
that the flood water was enormous in
some places. At the town of Ennis, the
rise had amounted to six feet in thirty
minutes. The rapidity of the approach
of the food, the dispatch says, was re-
sponsible for the fact that so many lives
were lost.
Mr.. Johnson reported that the Nor
folk branch of the Norfolk e Western
was nearly all washed away and that it
would take considerable time to repair
1t.

No estimate of property loss has been

far up in the thousands. No definite
news has been received from the coal
fields as all wires are still down and
there is no means Of communication.
The estimates that 200 or more lives
We're lost is certainly too great.

Bulletin:
BLUEFIELD, w. Va, June 24.-At
this juncture it is extremely hard to
determine the exact situation of the
flood. Wires are now open to Ennis.
w Va, this point being practically the
mouth of the devastated section. At
Ennis the depot and postoffice were
washed completely away and miles of
track torn up. No trains are going
further west than Ennis. Two thou
sand men are repairing the damage to
the Norfolk & Western railway. The
+ estimated damage to railway property
row is one million dollars, though this
does not include the loss sustained in
loss of revenue The entire property
loss Is estimated at between two and
three million dollars. 1t is now posi-
tive that the reports Ut 200 lives lost
were exaggerated, but officials esti-
mate that the number of lives lost by
flood will run up to seventy-fve easily.
1t is reported that there is great suf-
fering in the coal fields, two-thirds of
the miners being homeless. No trains
are expected to enter the fields for three
or four days. At this hour, 4:30 p. M,
there are indications of more rain. The
telegraph company has three building
gangs on the scene and three more en-
route and it is believed that by to-mor-
row noon or night they will be able to
communicate with keystone and Wv
Ian Yard Reports from the west say
1t is estimated that at least eight miles
of telegraph poles are entirely gone
west of Vivian Yard and it is hardly
probable communication will be had
,o1 some time with the Tug river Sec
ion where the river is reported higher
han ever known before. 1t is almost
certain that the larger lumber inter-
ssts west of Vivian and near WEIGH has
uttered greatly, the damage probably
'unning up into the hundreds of thou
sands of dollars.

The mills of the w. NJ. Ritter Lumber
Co., on Cox Greek, Mingo county, were
badly damaged by flood as we'll as the

Fork, near Jaeger This company's
loss on lumber washed away will reach
100000.
The C. L. Ritter Lumber Company
practically lost their entire mill at
Gordon and all the lumber in their
yards was washed away by the tide
Their loss is approximately 100000.
R. E. Woods saw and planning mills,

At WEIGH, the water from Tug river

At Matewan, Mingo county the most
aristocratic families of the town were
driven from their homes and many of

Down the principal thoroughfares Of

deep, carrying destruction in its path.
All growing crops along the Tug river

F|REDUgON BY STRIKERS.
SHOT AND IN A MINUTE, RIFLES
WE'RE RAFTING.
SHERIFF AND HIS GUARDS
REFUSE TO COMPLY WITH THE DE-
MANDS OF THE COAL
OPERATORS.

HUNTINGTON, w. Va, June "a
To-day posse of deputy United States
marshals, led by A. c. Hufford, of Blue
field, were fired on by the strikers and
forced to fee from the coal fields at
Matewan.
Yesterday afternoon the marshals. I'M
der the leadership of A. C. Hufford, set
out from Bluefield to reach the scene Of
the miners riot.
When they arrived within twenty
miles of Thacker they found that they
could proceed no further by rail. on
account of the food. They struck out
across the mountains, encountering
almost insurmountable difficulties. and
late Sunday afternoon reached their des-
tination. They began serving notices
of the injunction which had been issued
by Judge Jackson. A mob of strikers
followed, armed with firearms. On all
sides could be heard the cry: Down
with government by injunction" Men
threatened them with their weapons,
women called down the vengeance of
heaven upon them. and children hurled
stones. When nightfall came notice
had been served on the strikers of all
the coal companies but one, the Lick
Fork Coal & Coke Company, at Thacker.
Fearing an ambush, they waited until
morning, and early to-day set out for
Tnacker Some time before noon they
attempted to serve the injunction pa
pers at the above named colliery A
mob followed, enraged to desperation at
the sweeping character of the injunc-
ton One reckless fellow fired the first
shot, and quick as lightning the noun
tain sides echoed. and re-echoed with re-
sounding reports that followed the
crack of twenty or thirty rifles. The
deputies were forced to take refuge in
flight, and barely escaped with their
lives. The strike situation is assuming
a frightful stage Sheriff Hatfield has
withdrawn all of his deputies because,
IL is said, he does not believe in the
policy being used to put down the
strike. The United States marshals
have been left alone, and after being
chased from the fields to-day it is be-
lieved that they will be strongly rein
forced and ready to fight when they
again appear to enforce the injunction.
The river divides West Virginia from
Kentucky. On each side the mountains
are almost perpendicular. and the dis
lance from bank to bank is not more
than 500 yards. On the mountainside
of West Virginia the collieries are To-
Gated. On the Kentucky side are moth
ing but mountain paths. A lot of
strikers, almost thousand strong,
have crossed over into Kentucky and
are occupying the mountain passes.
Here they are out of reach of the dep
uty marshals, and command the en-
frances to the collleries.
The strikers have nothing but hatred
and contempt for the marshals. and, it
is said, that at the mass-meeting on
at Thacker on Saturday night they de-
cided to ignore the injunctions.
