coed $4,000.

Roanoke, Va, June 25.-It is now re.
ported that not over go persons are
missing in the coal fields region as a
result of the flood. The town of Key
stone, while much damaged, is not
wiped out as reported. No estimate
OF property loss has been made either
by coal operators or the railroad Off.
Gals. The loss. however, is far up IN
the thousands. No definite news has
/ been received from the coal field, As
all wires are still down and there is no
means Of communication. The esti-
mates that 200 or more lives were lost
is certainly too great.
The railroad companies loss will
reach 100000. Men and material are
being hurried to fields from all over
the line of the Norfolk & Western.
A telegram dated Ennis, w. w., from
General Manager Johnson Of the Nor.
folk & Western railroad says:
THE best information is that about
so persons were drowned in the north
fork of the Elkhorn. Property loss
about 100000. The Norfolk & West.
ern railroad suffered severe damage
to its tracks and trestles. Expect 20
be open for traffic some time Wednes.
day il we have no more storms
The following short statement by
one of the general officers of the Nor
folk & Western railroad, summarizing
the flood situation in the light of the
latest dispatches, was given to the
Associated Press:
Restoration of telegraph line de-
velops that damage by flood through
coal fields was exaggerated. Loss of
life will not exceed 60 or rs, and dam
age to property, including repairs TO
railroad and coal operations, will not
exceed 100000. 1t is said the railway
will get line opened through today or
tomorrow"
Charleston, w. Va, June 25.-Adjt..
Gen. Baker, who resides In Parkers-
burg, reached the city yesterday and
Gov. White reached the city last night
from the same place. While there has
been no demand made upon them yet
for troops either on account of the
miners strike or to prevent footing In
the storm-stricken district. they are
both considering that emergency may
arise. Last evening private secretary
to the governor, Gen E. l.. Boggs, left
for the Pocahontas district to examine
into conditions. Upon the report he
makes all will depend. Adjt.-Gen. A.
S. Hutson, who has practical charge
of the adjutant generals Office, also
left for the seat of the trouble. An
attempt was made to keep quiet the
departure of these two officers. 1t is
the general opinion around the state
house that the effect of the calamity
will be to quiet the miners. 1t is al
most impossible to get communication
through from this point. The receipt
of telegram from Gov. Nash of Ohio,
offering aid and extending sympathy,
was appreciated.

ri. Hyatt Tells of Slicil Tricr. Whicl
 He WItnesse,.

Dr. Richard J. Hyatt. the weather forecaster for St. Louis. who has 1rs. returned from his annual vacation witnessed an exhibition of the "heec- ing abilities of an expert confidence man. The doctor was not the victim of the smooth young stranger, but he became well acquainted with the pros porous old gentleman who was. It all happened on the train on which Dr. Hyatt was journeyinG homeward.
 "A few seats ahead of me. said the doctor. sat an old man who looked as if he possessed good deal of the worlds wealth. Near Lafayette Ind
 good looking young stranger got on. and, singling out the old gentleman sat with him and said that he wanted to send some money by mail, but didn't have anything but small bills. He asked the old gentleman if he had any large bills. anu the old man said that he did. He pulled out a twenty and then another. and the young fellow asked for a third. They were all handed over to him. and to the old man was given a big wad of bills. While the old man was counting them the young man stuffed the three twentias into an envelope and stuck it into his pocket. When the old man had finish eu counting the NaO gwen nlff1 Dy tll'. young stranger he said that there was only s59 there. The young man said that he must have dropped one. and handing back the enveiop supposed to contain the three twenties told the old man to hold it and he would take the small bills ana go back into the other car and get another bill out of his grip. The old man took the envelop and held it unopened for half an hour. He won- dered what had become of the man with the change, but was soon relieved. friend of his came in and to him he told what had happened. The other immediately suspected a confidence game and told the old man to open the envelope. When 1t was dones the old man found that it contained nothing but sheet of paper and some small strips to represent the bills. The young man had meantime jumped off the train before it had started at any speed and escaped.
