Percy Fl. Levin who has been

on the boards two of the best
plays ever seen in the city arrived
in Saratoga Monday, and at once
commenced operations looking
toward the production of A Sum

comedy, by Home Talent, to be
presented under the auspices of
the knights of Pythias.
There was a meeting of the
committee, and a cast selected,
and rehearsels we're begun Tues

lows:
Jack Henderson, In love with
nature, Mr.. levin.
Harry Woodthorpe, devoted to
one particular star, W. E. Ashley,

AS a director and manager of
local theatricals, Mr.. Levin ranks
without a peer. He brings the
amateur up to tue standard of the
professional, and the result is a
smooth, and excellent perfor-
nance that will put to blush

VIRGINIA RIVERS ON RISE.
James, at Richmond, Higher Than for
Many Years.

Many Years.
Richmond, Va, June 8.-Virginia is
coming in for her share of the deluge
being experienced throughout the
south, and at some places with disas-
trous results. How serious her share
will be remains to be seen.
There have been very heavy rains
in the state during the last thirty-six
hours, and many of the rivers are al
ready swollen as to threaten more or
less damage. James river is now
higher than it has been for several
years, and is approaching the danger
line.
Sunday night the water at Columbia
where the Rivanna empties into the
James, was 27 IL feet above common
tide, but was at a standstill. The
upper James was not so high.
The register at Scottsville was only
l. feet and the water was falling.
The heaviest rains, however, were
near Cartersville and the upper val
ley of the Rivanna, where the fall il
"a hours was inches.
Railroad travel has not been inter
rupted as yet. All goods have beer
removed from the steamship wharves
here and merchants in the exposed sec
tion have prepared for flood conditions
The water will probably come into MAR
street.

DEATH LIST INCREASED.
Graphic Account of the Floods |
South HaroIina

South Carolina.
Charlotte, N. c., June 8.-Three
thousand idle men, women and chill.
dren who had been employed in the
Clifton mills and several thousand
other persons who are also without
employment have gathered around the
wrecks Of the three Clifton mills.
Several hundred people wait for the
company's stores to be opened, many
Of these are already without necsssi-
ties. They sound the note of distress
that will be general today.
The superintendents and overseers
have employed a small percentage of
the operatives to assist In building foot
bridges and doing other work neces-
sary to precede the reconstruction of
the mill property.
Mill No. Is the least injured of the
three plants. 1t will be weeks or
months before it will be in operation.
The plant Is three stories high, with
the biggest building, the carding and
spinning room, close to the rivers
edge. The upper edge of this struc-
ture has been battered In for a dis
tance of so feet. Below that for the
entire length of the mill water ram as
high as the second story and seeming
ly all the machinery was touched and
ruined by the water. No mill, with
its Atherton frame, is not much more
valuable than the twisted machinery
in the plant at Converse. Several
bodies have been recovered this morn
ing. Mrs. Maggie Rebbs was found
alive on an island miles below here.
With her were her two children, dead.
All had been swept down on drift.
wood. One little boy, who was car
ried away from Mill No. 2, floated
safely II miles down the river over the
dams at Pacelot and was drowned just
as he was about to be rescued.
Reports today increase the death list
for Mill No. 3, and so people are said
to be missing. Their bodies, if re-
covered, are apt to be found many
miles below here.
The action of the company's officers
here and at the other mills is admir-
able. Without any time for prepara-
tion they find themselves facing the
most serious conditions that ever con.
fronted managers of any industrial en-.
treprise, but they are showing cheer
full fronts and are endeavoring to main
tain semblance of order among the
operatives. Some, but very few, of
the operatives, will leave Clifton today
to secure work elsewhere. So many
mills are shut down that work is
scarce.
The relief that is imperative must
come direct and must furnish bread
and meat to the employees of the three
Clifton mills.
Estimates made today place the to-
tai loss at Clifton and at Pacelot at
%, 500 900 or $4,000 900.
The loss to the county and to private
property holders will probably increase
this amount 20 an extra $1,000, 900.
