In 1T62 the rage for ruffs. such as ARE
seen on many monumental efiigies. be
gan to decline. A writer In the Lon
don Chronicle of hat year says of gen
tlemen's dress. Their cuffs entirely
cover their wrists. and only the edges
of their rufiies are to be seen"
1t Is said hal a distaste for ruffs
was first created so far back ms 1913,
when a named Turner wore
them on her trial for the murder by
poison of Sir Thomas Overbury. The
French revolution of 1883 much intlu-
enced British fashion, and the pictur-
esque cooked hat and rufies then gave
way generally to round hats and small
cuffs.
The period OF their final disuse can
not be easily determined. AS men of old
fashioned or eccentric habits have
worn ruflled shirt fronts within quite
recent memory similar to those which,
according TO planche's History OF
British Costume" originated in the
seventeenth century.

DEAD IN THE PACOLET VALLEY
They Number Fifty Eight, Including
Three Unidentified Bodies.

IhT66
Spartansburg, S. c., June 9.-The
interruption of all means of traffic and
communication caused by the high
water in the Pacolet valley made it
impossible until now to secure any
thing like an accurate death roll OF
the foods victims. The following pur-
ports to be complete list of the
drowned:
Joseph Hall, his mother, wife ard
six children; Bud Emory, Oliver John
son; E. Robbs, wife and two children;
Julius Biggerstaff; Augustus Calvert,
wife and two children; Mrs. HinsOn
and child; Mrs. Williams, eleven mem
bers of the Lowing family, Mrs. Mas
sey and four children, Grenoble Sim,
Robert Finley and wife, Mrs Owens
and two children, Doc Williams, Rosie
o. E. Johnson, Maggie Kirby, Garland
Long and wife, John Swearigen and
wife, Miss Leila Gosa, Mrs. William
Kirby.
The bodies of the above have been
recovered and identified. Three un-
identified bodies have also been taken
from the river, making the aggregate
of the death roll fifty-eight
The Mary Louise mill, on Island
creek, operating 1000 spindles and
owned by B. e. and J. S. Wilkins,
was totally destroyed Portions OF the
Tiger mill on Middle Tiger river are
also reported demolished, with the loss
of $4,000 The damage to the Tuca-
pau mill will aggregate $4,000 and
to the FingeIville mill $4,000. These
losses are addition to the heavier
damage to the Clifton and Pacolet
plants.

st. Louis, June $50 great an ex-
tent of territory is covered by the
food so constantly changing are the
conditions as the water creeps higher
and renders the situation the more
chaotic, and so unreliable are the va
rious rumors of the devastation that
substantial summary of the losses OF
lives and property cannot be obtained,
but up to this writing information
from apparently the most reliable
sources showed the situation to be as
follows:
Details of the Havoc.
Twenty lives known to have been
lost. Over 100000 acres Of rich farm
ing lands under water. All of Venice
and the greater parts of Madison and
Granite City under water. Twenty-Five
thousand people rendered homeless.
Freight traffic completely paralyzed
and passenger traffic practically so.
The shipping and manufacturing dis
trict of East st. Louis for three miles
along the river front under from two
to eight feet of water. Hundreds, and
probably thousands, of head of stock
drowned East st. Louis threatened
with complete inundation. st. Louis
flooded only along the water front. En-
tire property loss, estimated, S3,OOO,-
600.
Breaking of the Granite City Levee.
The flood has probably reached the
zenith of it's devastating power, and
the situation is bad enough. The eli
max came when, by the breaking of a
levee near Granite City a wall of wat
er six feet high rushed down upon
Madison and deeper engulfed the al
ready stricken town, sweeping houses
from their foundations and drowning
fifteen refugees who were vainly flee
ing for their lives. The report was
current that fifteen workmen in the
st. Louis Car and Foundry works had
been drowned, but later it was found
that while seven employees had lost
their lives, thirteen others, men, wom-
en- and children, had perlSned.
st. Louis Asked for Help.
Hundreds of persons were forced to
the roofs of their floating houses, and
ali appeal was sent to st. Louis for
assistance. Every effort was made to
force steamers against the heavy cur
rent four miles north to the stricken
town, but it was noon before the
Mark Twain and Annie Russell, dashed
together and their engines working un-
der every ounce of steam, after five
hours of battle with the current, were
able to ach Madison. For the bal
ance of the day and into the night
the work Of rescuing refugees from
floating houses, treetops and various
high places proceeded, and there being
no place to take them nearer than st.
Louis, they are pouring into the city
by hundreds-weth hungry and disspir-
tied.

POWDER MILLS BLOWN UP.
Three Men Killed and Three buildings De-
stroyed at the Latin Works Yester-
day by an Explosion.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, July 14.-Three
men killed and two seriously hurt, to-
gether with three buildings destroyed,
is the result of an explosion at the
Latin powder works yesterday after
noon. The force Of the explosion
shook every house in the town OF
Latin. There were three buildings,
each about 100 feet from the others.
The explosion occurred in what Is
called the press, in which the powder
was compressed into q solid mass.
The men killed were in the press mill
at the time Of the explosion and no
one can tell what caused 1t, though
there Is a theory that II was caused by
friction of some Of the machinery.
The three buildings were demolished
ana the engine and boiler room, stu
ated a long distance away from the
scene Of the explosion, also were
wrecked. The bodies Of Moore and
Arthur Gray were found buried under
the debris and were badly burned.
Joseph Gray was found 200 feet from
the min, his body literally blown to
uieces, scattered here end there.

SUFFERS A RELAPSE.
The Pope Laid This Morning In q
Critical Condition.
SYMPTOMS OF EARLY DISSOLUTION.
Ne Fen into Semi Comatose Condition 1t
Midnight and His Mind was Confused
ON His Awakening This Morning
His vitality Fast Diminishing.

Rome, July 14.--"While there is life
there Is hope" was all the consolation
that DR.. Lapponi could give last night
in admitting that Pope Leo's condi-
tion was very grave" The pontin
has suffered another relapse and ne
lies this morning in a more critical
condition than at any time since the
middle Of last week. The semi-coma-
tose condition into which he fell at
midnight and the confused state Of
his heretofore lucid mind on his
awakening at an early hour this morn
ing, accompanied by still greater de-
preston than during yesterday, are
regarded as symptoms Of the gravest
nature and as pointing to an immi-
nent dissolution. Even In the early
evening medical opinion was less pes
simistic and DR.. Mazzoni thought the
end was not within sight. He ex'
pressed the belief that unless the dis
ease took an unexpected turn there
was no reason to apprehend death Tor
two or three days. This statement,
however, did not relieve the anxiety
Of those who know what powerful
stimulants are being constantly adj
ministered. Some attribute the pom
tins extreme weakness to the ex-
cessiye mental and physical efforts I'M
.dertaken yesterday in receiving visit

Never before has the patients weak
ness progressed % 1t did yesterday.
For the first time since his Illness the
pontlff asked to have the shutters al
most closed, as the light hurt his
eyes, and at the same time, contrary
70 his custom, he begged to be lett
as quiet as possible.
Another noteworthy symptom OF his
weakening condition was the docility
with which he took his medicine and
nourishment. Previously, indeed, dur
ing his whole life, Pope Leo has been
against the prescriptions Of doctors
or anything which had the aspect Of
being forced upon him. His feeling
Of fatigue and Indifference was inter
preted as sign that his vitality wal
