Ellington, living down in Massachu-
sets.
Carew really found out all about her
on the swamp road after Biffngton's
flight, by quietly sitting down and
chatting with the young ladies, who
were most sympathetic for his m uddy
plight and the danger he had been in;
but he forgot to enquire where she
lived, and was as much surprised as
George, when she appeared at the old
house on the m arsh.

Wires Are Down and Information
Comes In Slowly.

Bluefield, w. Va, June 25.-Details
Of the terrible flood in the Pocahontas
Flat Top region, are slowly drifting
into this town, which is situated 20
miles south of the scene of the wrecked
homes, and fully bear out the fears
early entertained as to the havoc
wrought by the storm. Fifty dead
bodies have been found. Thousands of
people are homeless, and it is feared
many are without food, or ct the bes:
with only food enough to last few
days. The work of establishing rail
road communication is being pushed
with vigor. There is little hope of
sending the sufferers succor until rail
road connection is again renewed.
Men are at work clearing away the
debris and recovering the bodies OF
the dead. The dead are being aug
mented hourly.
Property Loss Placed at S2,5oe,ooo.
Estimates of the property loss in the
flooded district are growing larger
and the leading officers of the Norfolk
and Western road fix the damage to
railroad property between Cooper ard
Vivian, w. Va, at 100000. This
covers a territory % miles in length
and the same officials consider that
the damage to the property of the coal
operators of the field will far exceed
this amount. The total loss is now ap-
proximately estimated at s2,50O,000.
The recovery of bodies in the last
"a hours has not amounted to many.
The reason assigned is that the corpses
of the missing are hidden in nam
moth piles of debris. The list of miss
ing and reported drowned is 249. 1t
will probably never be known how
many have perished.
Hundred Miles Of Track Destroyed.
Over hundred miles of track be-
longing to the various coal operations
are practically total loss. The rails
are bent and twisted like wires. The
force of the food is better understood
when it is explained that by reason Of
long fill and log and iron bridge
the water was damned up. When this
obstruction gave way it let down
great food on the villages and mining
camps below.
Issues Appeal for Aid.
Governor White has issued an ap-
peal to the citizens of West Virginia
for contributions to aid sufferers by
the flood in the Flat Top region. The
governor states that while he has no
definite information. it is evident that
an appalling calamity has visited
that region, yet aid will be required to
care for the sick and destitute and
care for the dead.
In response to a message from Gov
ernor Nash of Ohio, asking whether as
sistance would be needed. Governor
White replied that he hoped for def
mite information from the stricken re-
gion tomorrow. but the suffering
would undoubtedly be great.

Il. H. Stewart. a furniture dealer In
this city, was in the midst OF all the
storm and travelled on foot nearly the
whole of the route devastated. When
the train on which Mr.. Stewart was

knew that no further progress could be
made. The train was placed at the

in the train Mr.. Stewart saw about 30
cars washed out OF the yards and car
ried away by the rushing torrents,

Prospect of Losing Their Holland
Trade Worries Them

The threat of the government of Hol-

IN retaliation for the action of this coun-
try IN erecting tariff wall against Hol-
land bulbs, is causing no little anxiety
among the milling interests of Minneap-
OILS AS result, there is movement
On foot looking to concerted action on
the part of the millecs to impress upon
the Washington government the aecessi-
ty OF handling the proposition of Hol-
lands bulbs with care
Charles Bovey, of the Washburn-Cros-
by company, says:
Holland is one of the vesv best mar
kets for American flour. Minneapolis
mills enjoy an excellent trade with the
Dutch and have for years. A tariff duty
placed on our flour by the Dutch | would
regard as next thing to a calamity in
Minneapolis flour trade 1t would keen
us hustling to find as satisfactory a
market as Holland. The Dutch are ac-
quainted with our flour; they like it, they
want in in big quantities and they are
frst-class pay.
The Dutchman is very sensitive over
the treatment accorded his bulbs in the
markets of the world. He has looked
with pleasure upon the prospects of a
good trade with this country While it
may seem small thing to Americans
it means much to him, and it may mean
that our immense flour exports to Hol-
land will have to be sacrificed on the
altar of an attempt to protect the bulb

GOV. VAN SAINTS COMMISSION IN
FAVOR OF BOARD OF CON-

WORKS WELL IN OTHER STATES

The commission appointed by Gov Van
SAINT to investigate the methods Of con-
Quoting charitable institutions in neigh
boring states will be in st. Paul ready
to report to the legislature at it's first
meeting this week. AS a matter of fact
the commissioners returned early this
morning from Iowa They have visited
Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and Iowa,
and made careful inspections of the vari-
Gus institutions and the means of carry
ing them on.
From reports that have preceded the
commissioners it is very evident that they
will urge the legislature to pass the bill
for the board of control. What they
have found in other states has impressed
them with the conviction, as originally
advocated by Gov. Lind, in his final adj
dress to the legislature, and also by Gov.
Van SAINT and State Auditor Dunn that
such board could carry on the man
agement of the several institutions in
this state much more satisfactorily and
profitably than separate boards. And
they will, it is reported, recommend in
their report to the legislature that the
measure involved be passed.
From members Of the Iowa state board
the Minnesota commissioners have been
given the information that the state
spends practically the same amount of
money in maintaining its institutions
under the central board as under the
former systems, but that great many
more advantages are obtained for this
amount of money. They are informed
also that there will be no deficiency in
service or diminishing of comforts to the
state wards by reason of adopting the
new plan.
The Minnesota commissioners, instead
of finding from SO to 100 clerks at the
central boards office, observed that it
was only necessary to employ nine for
this work. Another argument of the in
crease of expenses, which has been ad-
Vanced against the system, they main
tain, is thus defeated. A careful inspec-
ton of the books at the central Office
convinced the Minnesota gentlemen that
the small clerical force did not hinder
the accurate systematic keeping of all
accounts A new system is in vogue in
Des Moines of which the visitors are
said to have expressed great surprise
and admiration.
