GREAT HAVOC WROUGHT
81 VIRGINIA FLOOD.


Loss OF Life Placed at Seventy y-fve-Prop-
eriy Loss Nery Great.
A Cloudburst ia the Pocahontas Flat
Top region, near Bluefields, Wes. Vir-
ginia Sunday, details of which are yet
Incomplete, caused loss of seventy
five lives and the destruction of mil
ion dollars worth of property. The dur
alton of the storm was brief, and in less
than an hour nearly two inches of
water fell on mountain tops east and
west of the valley. converging the
waters in a narrow region and causing
untold disasters.
The little town of keystone, with a
population of about 1000, seems the
greatest sufferer, practically the en-
tire tow being washed away This
town is the principal one in the Poca-
hontas coal fields and is located near
its center. 1t was to great extent
the headquarters from which the min
ing population purchased supplies and
was also the only place in the field
where whisky could be purchased
At this place there were some twelve
to fifteen saloons, all of which were
washed away. The report comes that
the mining population are now occupy
ing the banks of the stream below
catching the merchandise and barrels
of liquor and beer as they float down.
A great number of coal and coke
plants throughout the Pocahontas dis
trict are'reported practically destroyed
and are in some instances entirely
washed away. Owing to the very high
water which has flooded the region
and prevented communication, any
thing like correct estimate of the loss
of property is impossible
Fifty dead bodies have been found.
Thousands of people are homeless and
it is feared that many are without
food or at the best with only food
enough to last few days. The work
of establishing railroad communica-
tion is being pushed with vigor There
is little hope of sending the sufferers
succor until railroad connection is re-
stored. Men are at work clearing
away the debris and recovering the
bodies of the dead
Over 100 miles of track belonging to
the various coal operations are practi-
cally lost The rails are bent and
twisted like wires. Even the heavy
girders Of the collapsed railroad bridges
were rendered useless. The force of
the flood is better understood when it
is explained that by reason of long
fill and low iron bridge some distance
up the valley the food was damned
and a monster body of water accumul-
ated, probably as large a volume as
was contained in the famous dam at
Johnstown. When this obstruction
gave way it let down great food on
the villages and mining camps below.
The storm WITS accompanied by "a
terrific thunderstorm and much dam
age was caused by lightning.

Minister Loomis Transferred to Portugal.

Francis b. Looms, minister to Ven-
ezuela, has been transferred to Portu-
gal, vice John N. Irwin of Iowa, re-
signed.
The change so far as it concerns the
Venezuelan minister is said at the
state department to have no particular
political significance. Mr.. Loomis
goes elsewhere than Caracas at his own
request and desire. 1t is true that the
Venezuelap government has expressed
dissatisfaction with Mr. Loomis in
more ways than one, but the fact that
the minister is not removed from the
diplomatic service but is given another
post of equal dignity and honor. is
mark of the esteem of the state de-
partment.
