Terrible Disaster nt Mine In TeiIu-

ride, Colo.
 Fourteen dead, as many injured and a score or more missing are the result, slides which occurred In the vicinity of the Liberty Bell mine, on Smuggler mountain, three and a half miles north of Telluride, Colo.
 It seems that no less than four dis tinct slides occurred, each claiming two or more victims. Several bodies have been recovered, but quite n number of the known dead are still buried under the tons of snow, rocks and timbers by which they were carried down.
 The first slide carried away tho boarding and bunk houses and the arc regularly employed in the mines and mills of the Liberty Bell mine, but larger number of men from the night shift were in Telluride and were pre- vented from returning to the mine by the terrible storm which was raging. The day shift had just gone to work. leaving but comparatively few under ground workmen at the bunkhouse. The slide came without warning. The three large buildings were carried down the steep mountain side, dis tance of about 2,O00 feet, and literally ground to pieces, not a board being left Intact. The snow and debris piled i'm the bottom of the canyon twenty-five | feet deep.

ed at $1, ,250. 900. At Wilkesbarre twelve lives have been lost. Nearly all the coal
 mines in the Susquehanna valley are
 submerged, and the total damage will be close to $2,QO0, 900. At Kingston, Ed
 wardsville, LuZerne, Pittston, Plym-
 outh and smaller places 1,500 families
 were compelled to leave their homes.
 Conditions in the Schuylkin valley are
 little better. South Harrisburg has
 been badly flooded. The famous old
 Comeback bridge at Harrisburg, built
 in 1916, has been washed out.
 In New York state the damage has
 been greatest in the Hudson river val
 ley. Business was suspended at AL bany for two days. Other Hudson riv-
 CT towns are in bad way. Along the
 southern tier, especially at Elmira and Binghamton, the flood has been severe. The Genesee has overfowed it's banks at Rochester, and that city suffered greatly.
 Railroad traffic has been greatly crip- pied in all three states, in some places entirely stopped. The Empire State ex- press was stalled on Sunday at Scho- dack Landing, and its passengers were taken off in boats.
 In the south and west swollen rivers nave inflicted destruction and distress, although absence of melting snow has kept the waters from reaching the great volumes of the northern streams. The waters are now subsiding in all the flooded districts, and further dam | age is not expected.

 Prince Henry upon his arrival in Chi cago Monday night. was presented with the freedom of the city by Mayor liar rison, after which he was driven through a gantlet of German-American citizens carrying torches to his apart ments in the Auditorium hotel. The suit reserved for the prince contained four rooms, while fifty additional rooms had been set aside for his serv- ants, his military escort and distin- guished men in his party. A banquet at the Auditorium, a choral festival at the First regiment armory and a grand ball at the Auditorium comprised the evenings programme.
 The prince left Chicago at p. m. Tuesday after he had listened to an ad- dress from the Central Bund of St. Paul, placed a wreath on the Lincoln monument in Lincoln park and enjoyed luncheon and reception at the Ger mania club. The prince left the Ger mania club at 1:3O and was driven di- rectly to the Union depot. Crowds, as usual, lined both sides of the streets. At the depot he thanked Mayor Harri- son for the pleasure his reception in Chicago had given him.
 Milwaukee was host to Prince Henry for six hours Tuesday evening and gave him a reception that was highly enthu- siastic and entertainment that was unique. His special train came at 1 o'clock and at 10 o'clock was away again on the long run to Niagara and New England. The intervening time was all given over to the reception and entertainment of the royal visitor.

 It was one of the few occasions of this sort that will stand out in history. 1n one respect at least it was unprece- dented. Prince Henry of Prussia, rep resentative of the German emperor, was a guest, accorded distinguished privileges. He sat on the right hand of the president of the United States, and his brightly uniformed stan occupied seats just in the rear of the embassa- dors of the first class powers. Throughout the delivery of the speech the audience listened with great interest, but the peroration, coupling together as if for all time the names of Washington and Lincoln and McKin- ley, seemed especially to impress the hearers, and as Secretary Hay uttered the last solemn words the spectators broke into a storm of applause which lasted for several minutes.

 Norfolk, Va, March 5.-A mob of 5000 strike sympathizers thronged the streets of Norfolk yesterday on which the main line of the Norfolk Railway and Light company runs, and the po- lice were unable to cope with 1t.
 From noon until after dark, when the cars, which were guarded by de tachments of militia and had run with difficulty all day, were housed in the barns, the mob had things its own way in the city. In the county where the barns are the military was in con- trol of the situation. Cars were re peatedly derailed, wagon loads of free fights between the military guards and the crowd occurred during the day at frequent intervals.
 In one of these sergeant ran a bayonet into the arm of H. Harman- son, a barber. Mrs. Harmanson was standing by her husband at the time.

The police force of 100 men has been on duty for forty-eight hours and is unable to meet the emergency.

 Prince Henry, accompanied by Elm bassador von Holleben, dined at the White House Thursday with President and Mrs. Roosevelt. The dinner was entirely unofficial and of a personal family character, and, owing to Me Kinley exercises making this day one of mourning, there were no formal toasts or exchanges, the purpose being to permit a more intimate personal ex- change than was possible during the formalities of official interchange last Monday. Others present at the dinner were General von Plessen of the princess staff, Miss Roosevelt, Miss Ca rev and Senator and Mrs. Lodge.

 Service Badly Crippled-Great Loss
 In Pennsylvania Coal Regions.
 New York, March 5.-Heavy and con tinued rains which melted the deep snow of last week have caused wide spread havoc throughout the country, particularly in the states of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The total damage cannot be estimated.
 Paterson, N. J., has been the worst sufferer. Hundreds of families have been made homeless in that city. The great fire which destroyed $S,0OO,00O worth of property there three weeks ago devastated the business and resi- dence portions of the city. The flood has attacked the mill and tenement quarters and has caused even nsoi c distress than did the fire. Six deaths have been reported. Three bridges have been washed away, dividing the city into two parts.
 At Passaic six persons have been drowned, and the property loss is very heavy. At Newark factories along the river front have been flooded, and many families have been driven from their houses.
 In Pennsylvania the loss by the food ing of coal mines and industrial plants runs into the millions. At Pittsburg and Allegheny the total damage is estimat-

Often he will stop suddenly in the midst of reading or talking to jot down on the ever ready music paper some bit of melody that comes to him. These jottings he gathers together and develops at his leisure, sometimes fitting them to poems preserved In his scrapbook, sometimes getting Fannie Crosby or another hymn writer to write words especially for his music.

Harrisburg, Pa, March 5.-The Sus- quehanna river is falling, and the wa ters are leaving the streets in the south ern section of Harrisburg, so that the work of clearing up may soon be com menced.
