having been removed to places OF safe

body had washed down from some dis

NEW HAVEN. Conn. June 2s.-The
Hon. John Hay, Secretary OF State, ar
rived in New Haven from Washington
at 5; 40 p. m, in response to the dispatch
announcing the sudden death OF his
son, Adelbert S. Hay. Mr.. Hay was un-
accompanied and gave signs OF great
grief. He entered a carriage and was
driven Immediately to the residence of
Mr.. Seth Mosely. No SO Wall street.
Worn out with the long trip from the
national capital and once within the
walls of the house that sheltered the re-
mains OF his dead son, the Secretary
collapsed. His prostration was so COM
plete that medical aid was deemed aec-
essary and DR.. Gilbert was summoned.
Miss Helen Hay, a daughter of the
Secretary, arrived in New Haven from
Boston at 7:10 p. m.
DR.. Samuel d. Gilbert, who was cum
moned in attendance upon Secretary
Hay, announced this evening that the
illness OF the Secretary is apparently
not serious. The physician said.
'"Mr. Hay is simply overwhelmed by
the tragic oeath of his son and is suf-
fering from prostration which will
probably be relieved by sufficient rest"

HOW THE NEWS CAME.

WASHINGTON, June 23.-Secretary
Hay learned OF the death Of his son
Adelbert within an hour and half OF
the tragedy through Secretary Cortel-
you. The latter had been called up on
the long distance telephone at his resi-
dence about o'clock in the night by
Proprietor Moseley, OF the New Haven
House, the scene of the tragedy. Mr..
Moseley briefly told Secretary Cortelyou
of the finding OF the remains on the
sidewalk and of the other details of the
accident substantially as they were set
out in the press dispatches. Secretary
Cortelyou FASTENED at once to the resi-
denee of Secretary Hay and communi-
Gated the sad news as gentlely as posi-
bic. The Secretary appeared for the
moment to be- completely crushed. but
rallied and set calmly about prepare
tions for departure for New Haven at
the earliest moment Save the SER
wants, Secretary Hay was alone in his
house. as all of his family have been
absent from Washington since the Sec
with Adelbert and her two daughters,
had been spending few days in Clege-
land. o., and from that place went by
way of Buffalo TO Newburg, n. H., On
the shores of Lake Sunapec, where the
family had just, settled down for the
summer. with the expectation that the
Secretary would join them next month.
There was no one Of his own people
about him therefore to give aid and
support when the sad news came to the
Secretary of State in the early Sabbath
morning. Secretary Cortelyou. howey-
er, was ~ymp>thetically helpful, and
realizing the feverish desire OF Mr.
Hay to reach New Haven, he looked UP
the railroad time tables and arranged
for an early departure, so that by 8
O'Clock, Secretary Hay was on a Penn
sylvania railroad train speeding to-
wards New Haven before many OF his
friends in Washington knew OF the ca
lamity that had befallen him. As soon
as the President learned the news. how
ever he dispatched telegram to the
chef OF his cabinet TO overtake him IN
his journey northward. expressing In
the kindly and sympathetic language
which characterizes the Presidents
communications in such cases, the
depth OF the sorrow he felt for the be-
reaved family. Secretary Hays col
leagues in the cabinet followed the same
example and Secretary Long also sent a
personal letter OF sympathy and condo
lence. The cabinet officers will attend
the funeral Of Adelbert Hay II II is
feasible for them to do so.
After the Secretarys departure and
when the news had spread through the
city by the morning newspapers friends
OF the Hay family and officials began
to call at the Sixteenth street home TO
leave their cards. Assistant Secretary
Hill was the first among the official
callers and later there were many 9TH
ers. During the day nearly all oficial
Washington had left its tribute Of SYM

ROANOKE, Va, June 23-There was
a great deal of excitement and anxiety
created here to-day wnen it was re-
ported that an awful flood ana cloud
burst had swept the Elkhorn coal re-
gion in West Virginia. This territory
is near the Virginia line and is about
125 miles west of Roanoke and some
twenty-five miles west of Bluefeld ".
Va The region visited by the food is
said to be devastated and the Pocahon-
tas coal fields are reported in ruins.
More than thirty miles OF the railroad
tracks of the Norfolk & Western rail-
road is gone and reports are still COM
ing to the general offices of this sys-
tenn in this city reporting washouts on
the various sections of lines in the
flooded districts. One OF the breaks in
the track will require at least thou
sand laborers and several days work
to repair it. The railroad yards at Wv
ian, small town in West Virginia,
were completely destroyed, and it is re-
ported most of the town was washed
away.

smaller towns suffered greatly.

neatly dressed In black. with an air Of
extreme poverty. She told a wretched
tale of sorrow and suffering, winding
up with the climax that she and her
little family were actually starving and
had not tasted food for two days. The
Judge seemed deeply moved. He ex-
cuscd himself for not attending TO the

nearly ready to open.
He looked at his watch with an air
Of vexation. as IL ii were not going.

Judge said. can II be true that your
