TERRIBLE HAVOC WROUGHT.
Deaths BY Pocahontas Flood Are
still Unknown

B!u"ticldH, W. Va, June 24.-Dptsilz
0I the fearful flood in Pocahontns Flat
Top region are slowly drifting in and
lulIy bear out the fears early entertained
az to the havoc wrought by the storm
Fltty dead bodies have been found
Thousands Of people are homeless and
1t is feared that many are without food.
Men are now clearing away the debris
and recovering the bodies OF the dead.
The dead are being augmented hOnrlv.
ReiIei trains are running between this
city and the edge of the stricken district
and everything possible is being done to
relieve the suffering and destitution.
over hundred miles of track belonging
to the various coal operators are conse-
quently lost. The rails are bent and
twisted llke wires. Even the heavy
glrders OF the collapsed railroad bridges
were rendered useless.
The force of the food is better under
stood when it il explained that bv
reason OF a long fill and a low iron
bridge some distance up the valley the
flood was damned and a monster body
OF water accumulated, probably as large
volume as was contained i'm the
famous dam at JOhnstOwn. When this
obstruction gave way it let down n
great flood on the villages and mining
camps below.
1t Is reported that DR.. Hatfield, a
prominent physician and kiusman of
the famous feudists of this section and
Kentucky, was compelled to shoot two
negro plunderers who we're robbing de-
tenseless flood sufferers. The negroes
were George Wad and Alexander Watts,
both desperate characters.
Corpses in Piles of Debris.
The stOwness Of recovery Of bodies ia
because the cOrpses OF the missing are
hidden in mammoth piles of debris.
Some OF these piles are 80 feet high, and
cover in some instances as much aa n
hall acre OF ground and it is the work of
days to search through them. 1t has
been suggested that the best plan would
be to burn these masses of debris, but
the friends OF the dead are loud ia their
denunciatiOn OF the idea. SO bitter ia
the feeling regarding this matter that if
1t Is attempted blOOdshed probably will
result. The list Of missing and reported
drowned is 249, but it will probably
never be known how many have persisted.
At AlgOma a number Of miners stand
ing on high point with water waist
deep, rescued 23 women and children as
they fioated past. A number to whom
they threw ropes were so excited that
they made no effort to save themselves.

Washed Back On Deck.

San Francisco, June 22.-The battle
ship Iowa sailed for Puget sound today.
After a long trip 1877 days the British
ship King Edward arrived from Antwerp
today. Soon after leaving Antwerp she
was caught in heavy gale and had to
put into Downs for repairs. One sea-
man was drowned and the second mate
and an apprentice boy had narrow
escapes. They were washed overheard
and there seemed no chance of saving
them. The wind was blowing with hur-
ricane force and a high cross sea was
running. Luckily one of these contrary
waves picked up the mate and the an
prentice boy and washed them back on
the deck of the King Edward.

Spain Buying New Guns.

London, June 22.-Spain appears to
be making vigorous efforts to repair the
depletion of her armament caused bv
the Spanish-American war. A special
navy commission from Madrid, now in
London, has placed with the Maxim
Vickers concern a large order for guns,
including some of the new seven inch
guns which during tests this week made
the remarkable record of firing five
aimed rounds in 81 seconds, maintain
ing an average, with a projectile weigh
ing 200 pounds, of over five rounds per
minute. The striking muzzle energy
was 1857 feet, or nearly six times
greater than in the case of the guns now
used on board Great Britain's best
battleships.

story told by Albert Sonnichsen that
Brown, was traitor.
sonnichsen was young army clerk,
who was captured by the natives. and
for many months was companion of
Lieut.. Gilmore and his brave band of
blue jackets. Much of this time with
one of the party of prisoners was man
called David Arnold" who was really
the Rev. Leonidas Brown, it is said. He
IS depicted asa drunkard, coward, and
a traitor Several times the prisoners
made plans for escape, only to have
them frustrated by Arnold" who told
the plans to the guards for the purpose
of currying an uncertain favor with
them.
Thruout all the terrible experiences of
those months of captivity, 1t is alleged
that this former minister of the gospel
proved himself as arrant a coward as
the world has ever seen. Sonnichsen
and his fellow prisoners have no words
too hard to express their opinion of this
man. who was so many times RESPONSE
hle for the defeat OF their plans to es-
cape. Brown is thought to have finally
heen killed by the insurgents.

General Dole, and u. A. Thurston, Pres
ident of the Gazette Publish company.
We're summoned to appear before Judge
Humphreys and show cause why they
should not tell the grand jury what
they had heard regarding bribery in the
legislature Judge Humphreys sus-
ftained Attorney General Dole, as it was
shown that he had told the grand jury
the names of the men from whom he
had received evidence.
Thurston had told the jury that he
heard that legislators had approached a
corporation with solicitation of brides,
but he declined to give the name of the
corporation, on the ground that, as at
storney. he had a right to withhold it as
given in confidence by. a client to an at
torney.
Judge Humphreys adjudged Thurston
guilty of contempt, fiEed him sloo, and
ordered him into custody until the end
of the session of the grand jury or until
he answered the question of the jury as
to who was the client. He applied to
the supreme court for a writ of habeas
corpus, and was released on $500 Dail.
The grand jury has indicted Walter
G. Smith, editor of the Advertiser, for
perjury. 1t is alleged in the Indictment
that he denied knowledge of the name
Of a corporation said to have been APP
preached be members of the legislature
with solicitations for brbes when in
fact he knew the name of the said cor
poration. Smith was released on $4,000
bail.
Judge Humphreys took the cases of
Acting Governor Cooper and superin-
tendent of Public Works McCandless
under advisement McCandless has left
his office.
