SWEPT TO DEATH.
Two Hundred lives Lest ia West Virginia
Rein storm saa Flood.

BIueGelds, w. Va, June a. This
section has Just been visited BY q
food, the extent u which in ali prob
ability will equal or exceed that OF
Johnstown in 1889, so far as the loss
OF property is concerned. Early yes
terday morning, shortly after mid
night, heavy downpour OF rain be-
gan, accompanied BY severe electric
storm, which increased in volume,
continuing for several hours. The
storm continued throughout the
entire night and day and at 10 A. NJ,
though the storm had abated, the
lowering clouds threatened another
terrific downpour at any moment.
Many miles Of the Norfolk & West
ern railroad track, bridges and teIe-
graph lines are entirely destroyed
and communication il entirely cut
of west Of Elkhorn, so that it is im-
possible to learn the full extent Of the
loss Of life and property, but officials
Of the coal companies located in the
district have sent out messengers TO
Elkhorn, the terminus OF both tele-
graphic and railroad communication,
and have received report that a con-
servative estimate as to the loss OF
life will easily reach 200 Some OF
the drowned are among the most
prominent citizens Of the coal fields.
The little town Of Keystone, with
population Of 1000, seems the
greatest sufferer, practically the entire
town being washed away. This town
is the principal one in the Pocahon-
tas coal fields, and is located near its
center. 1t was to great extent the
headquarters from which the mining
population purchased supplies.
A great number Of the coal and
coke plants throughout the PocahOn-
tas district are reported practically
destroyed and are in some instances
entirely washed away. Owing to the
high water which has flooded the dis
trict and prevents communication,
anything like 4 correct estimate Of
the loss Of property is impossible, but
from the best information obtainable
the loss to the property Will easily
reach 81, 600, 900.
A rough estimate places the nuns
ber of bridges washed away between
Bluefelds and Vivian Yards, dis
tancc of Is miles, at from 15 to 20,
and from present indications it will
be impossible to run trains through
| to Vivian and points west OF there
under week or 10 days. This will
render it impossible to get relief into
the stricken districts, and with those
who escaped with their lives, home
less and without food, indescribable
suffering is inevitable.

STRIKERS FIRED UPON.
Three Men Shot While Trying to Enter a
West Virginia Mine.

Matewan, w. Va, June %. -
Strained relations between the union
and non-union miners here has re-
suited in bloodshed. Yesterday seve-
raj hundred union miners who are
on strike marched in BODY against
the Maritime mines OF this palce,
where non-union men were at work.
They tried to effect an entrance, but
the operators, with 20 guards armed
with Winchesters, blocked the en-
trance. The non-union miners were
headed by Superintendent Lambert,
and when the union men persisted in
ther attempt he gave the order to fire.
Fully so shots we're fred. Two union
miners were fatally shot and another
dangerously wounded. The union
men did not return the fire, but dis
persed.
All the union miners throughout
Mingo are collecting, and serious
trouble is expected tomorrow, when
they will again try to effect an
entrance to the Maratime mines.

President Did Not Cons But aThs Fourth
Is Coming and There Win Be Big Tine.

The enthusiasm which Portland ex-
pected to expend in the entertain
ment OF the president and party has
been bottled up and will be let loose
in the celebration of the Fourth Of
July. While the committee which
is engaged in arranging for the cele-
bration is not doing much talking, it
is earnestly and energetically at work
on its plans, and will have several
very large surprises in store for Port
landers and visitors on Independence
Day. The fact that cheap railroad
fares will be provided on all lines
into the city will doubtless prove an
incentive to many residents Of the
neighboring cities to come in and
help celebrate, and they are promised
a reception which they will long re-
member.
Bands from various outside towns
will help to furnish the music, and
all societies of whatever character are
invited to take part in the parade.
L. d. Cole, chairman of the adver-
tising committee is working hard to
let the residents of sister cities know
that they will be welcome, and he
says that the city will probably enter
tain more guests during the celebra-
tion than at any time in her history.

DO you know what Zulu lsy' said
an old railroad man. The travelling man
who was waiting for his train smiled
In way that was meant to Indicate
he knew all the species Of Zulus that
ever existed, and told the railroad man
about the Africans, called zulus, who
maintained that continents reputation
for lighting before the Beers stepped
In.
Little was doing in the railroad
mans line just then, so he listened,
"Well, they may be Zulus all right
enough" he remarked, "but they are
not the sort of Zulus that travel on
railroads. There Is the kind that runs
into these yards" and he pointed down
the track, where a box car stood.
A stone pipe protruded through a
hole In the door 'Fhe pipe was at an
angle OF about 35 degrees. A cloud
of smoke was coming from 1t. Four
blooded horses and man were the oc-
cupants Of that. The man was the
Zulu. Taking care of valuable stock

Americans Invade the Rand.

London, June 25.-The Johannes
burg correspondent of the Daily Mail
contributes long letter to his paper,
in which he describes the American
trade inavsion Of the Rand, aided, he
alleges, by British apathy. The cor
respondent asserts that Americans
are quietly buying up shares and
pushing their efforts in every direc-
tion. He says that practically all
the mining machinery is already
American and refers to rurnor to
the effect that there is an American
movement to capture all the poorer
Rand mines.

NAWoATED HELL GATE.
Big Battls-ShIp Massachusetts Successfully
Passed the Narrows.
"ELIHU ROOT,
Secretary Of War. =

New York, June 22.-Without the
assistance of pilot and to demon
strate that first class battle ship
could be nayigated through He'll Gate
successfully, Captain Henry NJ. Man
ney took the big battle ship Massa-
chusetts through the narrows today.
II was the first time in the history OF
the navy that any commander Of a
war vessel of this class ever dared
attempt the feat, and river craft and
the shores were filled today to witness
the trip of the Massachusetts. The
passing of the mammoth fighting
machine through the dangerous
waters of He'll Gate successfully
proves that in case of hostilities with
a foreign power, battle ship of the
same draft as the Massachusetts,, if
she passed the fortifcations OF VIII
let's Point and Fort Schuyler, could
repeat the performance Of the Massa-
chusetts. Secretary Long has taken
official noticeof Captain Manney' s
feat, and issued orders that no naval
vessel the size of the Massachusetts,
shall use the He'll Gate narrows ex-
cept in cases OF great emergency.

taking Mary's hot hands between her

In few words Mary related her his
tory, emitting her acquaintance with
George MoreIand. and commencing At the
night when her mother died. Ida was
warm-hearted and aifectionate. and cared
but little whether one were rich or poor
n she liked them. From the hrst she had

Ing her arms about her neck, and kIssiDg
away her tears, she promised 10 love her.
and to be 10 her as true and faithful a
friend an Jenny. This promise. which
was never broken. was OF great benefit 10
Mary, drawing to her side many OF the
best girls IN school, who soon learned
10 love her for herself. and not because
the wealthy Miss Selden seemed 20 fond
OF her.
Soon after Mary went TO Mount HoI-
yoke she had received letter from Billy.
In which he expressed his pleasure that
she was at school, but added that the
fact OF her being there interfered great.
" with his plan of educating her him

vented me from doing anything until now,

thlngton's law Office as clerk. hoping that

be defeated In another plan which was
rormed in boyhood, and which has become
the gi1at object Of my life."
Mary felt perplexed and troubled.
Bllly'F letters OF late had been more like
those OF lover than 4 brother, and she
could not help guessing the nature OF
''the plan formed In boyhood." She knew
she should never love him except with
sisters lore, and though she could not
tell him so her next letter lacked the tone
OF affection with which she was Rccus-
toned to write. and was on the whole
rather formal affair. Billy, who readily
perceived the change, attributed II TO the
right cause. and from that time his let.
ters became far less cheerful than usual.
Mary usually cried over them. wishing
more than once that Billy would trans.
fer his affection from herself to Jenny.
and Il was for this reason. perhaps, that
without stopping to consider the propri.
ETY. OF the matter, she first asked Jenny
TO write to him. and then encouraged her
