which was made up Of combination smoker and baggage car and one day coach left promptly on time at 6:30 o'clock. The two trains came together with terrific force on a straight line of track. Just before the crash came the engine crew of both engines, with the exception of Engineer Putnam, jumped and escaped with slight injuries. Put nam was caught in the wreckage of his engine and horribly nangled, death resulting instantly.
 On the east side of the track at the scene of the wreck is the Erie canal feeder while on the west side is the Genessee river. The force of the col lision was so great that both engines rebounded fifty feet. The engine of the incoming train was thrown on it's side and reduced to scrap iron. The com bina ton smoker and baggage car fol- lowing jumped the tracks and fell with a crash into the canal feeder The day coach buried its forward end in the canal feeder The remaining coach of the incoming train remained on the road bed. From the combination car and day coach, which went into the feeder, all of the injured were taken. The work of the uninjured passengers of both trains who immediately rushed to the scene of those in1perilled in the two cars in the feeder was greatly han dicapped by the thrush of water which in the briefest space had almost filled these cars. Most of the injured were found floating about in the water inside of the wrecked cars and with much diff f1culty were pulled through the windows in the side of the overturned car or dragged through holes caused by the wreck. It is miraculous that many were not drowned.
 The engine of the south bound train is a complete wreck. No one was in- jured on the south bound train except the conductor, who has an ugly scalp wound
 Later: It is now admitted by the crew of the incoming train that they had received orders to meet the out going train at Mt. Hope siding, which is a short distance south of the scene of the wreck. They say that having habhually met the outgoing train at Rochester the order to meet it at Mt. Hope siding was forgotten until too late.

About White Fabrics of Wool for Warm
 Weather Wear.

So many women prefer a fabric of wool for the mountains or seashore, that this demand has brought into be- ing new materials peculiarly adapted for their needs. Of necessity such fabric must be cool, light weight and cleansable, yet with more durability than most of the materials entirely of cotton.
 SUCH FABRICS IN WHITE lead the way this season, and we desire to call particular attention to our splendid showing of them at the Dress Goods Section. .

THREE CLOUDBURSTS.
Four Killed and sa00,o0O of Damage Wrought Near Binchampton, NY.

Binghamton, N. Y, July 20.-The heavy rains which have prevailed in this section for tke past few days reached a climax last night. when three separate cloudbursts occurred within the limits of Broom county alone and several in surrounding territory to the northward, breaking mill dams, washing out railroad tracks and high way bridges and doing much minor damage as we'll as delaying trains. As a result of the waters mad work. four are killed and two seriously injured and $20OO00 monetary damage has been done.
 Saturday evening cloudburst oc- cured In the town of Coventry. The downpour soon sent the creek out of bopuds The mill dam of I. w. Seeley's mill, two miles west of Alton. went out. The water from the Liberated mill pond rushed down the narrow valley in a wall ten feet deep. The Taft mill dam and an old furniture factory stood on the edge of bluff with deep ravine below. The family of Joseph Cook lived in the factory. The building was washed over the bluff and the factory and contents were literally ground to pieces in the raging waters.
 A freight train of the Delaware and Hudson railroad ran into a large wash out near Harpursville Saturday night and rolled down a thirty foot embank- mnet. One man was killed and two in- jured.
 Late advices tonight tell of another cloudburst in Newark Valley, Tioga county New York, where small creek which enters Tioga Creek at that place went on a rampage and tore out every highway bridge in it's course and flood ed the surrounding country.

BELIEVES IN WATER CURE
COL, GROESBECK GIVES IT HIS
 FIRM APPROVAL.
It, as PractIced by the Ameri- can Army, the Most Humane Method of Obtaining Information Known to Modern WRrfare-New Version of the "KilI and Burn" Order-Gen Smith n Fine Officer but Erratic.

Fine Officer hut Erratic.
 San Francisco. July 2O.-Colonel Stephen M Groesbeck, formerly judge advocate of the Division of the Philip pines, has arrived here from Manila, en route to Chicago, where he will take station as judge advocate of the De- partment of the Lakes. Colonel Groes beck was chief reviewing authority in the trials of Major Waller and General Jacob Smith.
 Discussing the Waller trial Colonel Groesbecg characterized Major Waller as a tactician. not a leader,
 Referring to the famous kill and burn" order alleged to have been is- sued by General Smith, Colonel Groes- beck said:
 No such order was ever issued by Smith, but he is an impetuous and er- ratio man, and when going over the ground at Balangiga, after the massa- ere of an entire company of the Ninth infantry he remarked to Waller that they would be justified in killing and burning as they went"
 Colonel Groesbeck did not think that Waller or any of the officers of his com- mand should be held accountable for the lives destroyed, but he believed that, had more careful provision been made when the fatal march was begun, it would not have ended with such d S. astrous results. He spoke of General Smith as fine officer, and expressed regret at the humiliation attached to the recent orders for his retirement.
 Colonel Groesbeck believes in the water cure" and said that In all the complaints caused by the method of foGcing the insurgents to give informa- ton as to where arms were hidden, etc, it had been abused only by young off, cers. overzealous and inexperienced in their work. T believe" said he, the water cure, as practiced by the Ameri- can army in the Philippines, to be the most humane method of obtaining in- formation from prisoners of war that Is known to modern warfare"
 On the Philippine question in general Colonel Groesbeck said: We are there to stay. The price that has been paid for the islands demands that we ho'd them, but to civilize and establish government that can be ultimately giv- en into the keeping of the natives is task beyond the comprehension of the unacquainted. The uplifted bolo is the only law that they have feared for ages and strenuous means must be adopted to eradicate such ideas"

From KeOkuk South to Hannibal, la. Large Areas Have Been Devastated Splendid Crops Under Water and Ruined-IsInnds lDotting the River DIsappear-M Most of the Damage on the Missouri Side.

Missouri Side.
 Keokuk, Ia, July 20.-Exploration of the flooded district of the Mississippi river from Keokuk south, shows condi- tions beyond the appreciation or reali- zation of any but those of long exper- fence with the Father of Waters in it's most destructive mood. A great con- flagration in a great city would not be more rapidly destructive of values. There is absolutely not the slightest chance of stoppng ths most costly flood in the history of the great river above St. Louis.
 A correspondent of the Associated Press went all over the worse damaged area to-day in the steamer Silver Cres- cent and found everywhere the greatest crops ever known under water deep enough to float steamboat. People at the river cities give accounts of losses aggregating many millions of dollars Hundreds of farmers rich ten days ago are penniless and homeless.
 Careful estimates gathered from the statements of best informeds people in- dicate the loss up to to-day is about $6,0 1000 with every prospect of two or three millions additional by the rise above, not yet reaching the lower stretches of the river
 Most of this loss is on the Missouri side of the river between Keokuk and Hannibal
 Passing the water Tapped lumber yards of Keokuk. The mouth nf the Des Moines river is nearly two miles wide. Normally there are two mouths and an island delta, covered with farms which are now under raging torrents.
 Alexandria was protected to the last by the Egyptian levee, the breaking of which would send four feet of water all over the town. Gregory is submerg- ed except the White church, in which services was held to-day, the congrega- tion from the country reaching the church by the railroad track, which is still above the flood in a waste of water miles wide.
 Immense fields are seen in great lake with the shore visible only with @ glass. where the high bluffs bound the bottoms. Islands dotting the river at it's normal stage have disappeared ex- cept for the tops of trees or fringe of high shore willows slightly protruding like a circular coral reef. Occasional ly a house on piles or stilts is seen, but generally only roofs rise to mark the center of farms of corn.
 On the edge of the flooded river corn generally rises on a slope, tassels, tops. ears, stalks appearing in order In the middle of the present river the tracks of the St. Louis. Keokuk And North western road, nominally on the Missou- ri side, are now few inches above the water and under it in some stretches. The river is five to ten miles wide and another lake seventy miles long is add ed to the map.
 All this territory was practically cov- cred with corn fortnight ago, estimat- ed to make seventy-five to one hundred bushels to an acre. Previous estimates of the loss have been greatly increased by the prospective yield being found much greater than ever before, experts
