SAW DEATH IN DREAM
Son Of Old Jim Wright Says
Tenpleton Foretold
His End.

GATE CITY. VA, September 11.-1Spe-
cial)-Youns George Wright, son of the
outlaw, Jim Wright, who was killed re-
Gently, was tried by the Tennessee author
tiles, and there being no evidence that t
he fired on the posse of citizens. was
discharged.
At the trial he had little to say con-
cernng his father, but talked freely of
John Templeton, who seemed to have
possessed many peculiar traits Accord
ing to young Wright, he was extremely
superstitious, and to a great extent his
actions were governed by dreams, signs,
omens, etc.
The night preceding his death he dreamt
that his end had come, and when he
woke up he told his companions that he
would be killed or captured in very
short time. After he had eaten his break
fast he lay down and slept awhile and
his dream was repeated.
He sprang up wildly excited, and swore
that he would never sleep again while
he lived. In this instance he kept his
word. Yet, warned as he believed him
self to be. his defiant nature could not be
curbed, and he walked boldly in the bright
moonlight along a much-frequented road
to meet his Nemesis.

ing on New River.
CHARLESTON, w. VA, September II.
The mines on New River are increasing
their output daily. and are working about
half the regular force. Miners are being
forced out of the company houses every
day. At consultation between operators,
the sheriff of Fayette county and the
officers of the militia, it has been decided
to ask the Governor not to withdraw the
troops for the present.
A committee of New River coal opera
tors having charge of matters pertaining
to the strike have adopted resolutions de-
claring that the operators will not recog-
nize the Union Mine Workers of Ame7-
lea, or treat with them, or any of their
members, with reference to the wage
scale or other conditions of employment,
and that they will make no concessions
or in any way change the conditions of
employment from what they were prior
to June 7th, when the strike was called.

THE FLOOD LOSSES
IN The MILLIONS
Many Railroads Blocked and Industries
ParaIyzed.
PEOPLE DRIVEN FROM HOMES.
Fifty Thousand Men Cut OF Work by the
Flooding of The Mills About Pittsburg-
Few Lives Lost, But Hundreds of People
Suffering From Exposure-Several Places
In Terrible Condition.

Many millions in money lost, tens OF
thousands of people thrown out of enl-
ploymcnt and hundreds of families
homeless make up the appalling record
of the floods in Maryland, Virginia,
West Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New
York, Connecticut North Carolina, Ten
nessee, Georgia and Alabama.
A remarkable but fortunate feature OF
the widespread destruction is the small
loss of life Few persons were drowned,
several were killed in railroad wrecks
caused by washouts, but considering the
rapid rise Of the waters in some sec
tions, engulfng and sweeping away NUM-
bers of houses, it is astonishing that
there were not more fatalities.
Most of the rivers have begun to
SLOWLY fall, but the floods have lett ruin
and desolation.
Hundreds of poor people, particularly
women and children, are likely to sui
fer serious illness because OF the eX-
posture. Driven from their homes and
compelled to founder about for hours
in mud and water and saving but little
clothing or household goods, many are
in distress.
In the vicinity of Pittsburg and about
Philadelphia the sweep OF the floods
caused enormous damage to property
Numerous towns along the Western
Pennsylvania rivers are under water,
houses being undermined and stores and
factories completely ruined.
The Schuylkill River spread out over
a wide section of Philadelphia. The
