EIGHTY ARE DEAD.
cloudburst Causes a Destructive Flood
In South Carolina.

VT 0OuN0 NdTOlt1ds
Spartansburg, S. c., June 9-Torren-
tial rains visited this section Saturday
morning, causing a food which has re-
suited in great loss Of life and in
calculable damage to property.
Though the great food of water is
passing on to the ocean laden with
debris of every description ind the
swirling streams are subsiding in the
Piedmont region, the losses of life and
property are increasing, and a con-
sentative estimate places the property
loss at little less that So 100000. The
most conservative estimate of the
dead is eighty.
At Clifton alone 100 cotton mill ope-
ratives are missing and all are be-
lieyed to be dead. During yesterday
dead bodies were washed ashore here
and occasionally a dismembered limb
would float to the banks.
At Convers thirteen dead are re-
ported and forty-one at Clifton No. Q.
At Clifton No. twenty.six homes are
destroyed; thirteen at Clifton No. /,
and twenty at Clifton No. 8. The loss
at Clifton's three mills will approx
mate $2,5OO,OO0.
At Pacolet the loss is nearly 81, 000,-
900, The greatest want among the sur
vivors is at Clifton, where
Five Hundred Are Destitute.
At Converse mills, the newes. of
Cliftons cluster, the walls were
washed away and the looms left stand
ing.
Reports from Seneca river, near the
Georgia line, are better. The Blue
Ridge road between Seneca and An
derson is intact and the Newry mill is
not badly damaged and will be run
ming to-day.
The railroad situation has given
much uneasiness here and throughout
the state.
The Southern railway annulled
trains between Columbia and Spar
tanburg, 200 feet of the trestle at Shell
ton having been washed away. The
coast line trestle two miles west of the
city affords the only exit from Column
bia to the Piedmont country.
The food was due to mighty
cloudburst along the headwaters of the
Pacolet river. The crest OF the food
when 1t reached Pacolet was sixty feet
high. The mills were located along
the banks Of the stream.

Washington, June 7.--As result OF
the sweeping investigation of affairs
at the postofice department. Thomas
W. McGregor, clerk In charge of the
supplies for the rural free delivery
service, and G. Ellsworth Upton or
Baltimore, one Of McGregor's assis-
tants, yesterday were arrested on the
charge Of conspiracy with Charles q.
Smith of Baltimore TO defraud the
government in the purchase of the
leather pouches furnished the rural
carriers throughout the country. The
complaint sets forth that McGregor
and Upton agreed with Smith to OBJ
tain for him the orders for many thou
sands of leather pouches such as are
used by rural letter carriers. The
price agreed upon was 80 cents per
pouch; the actual value was less than
so cents. Smith was to pay to them
the difference between 80 and 90 cents
per pouch. It Is stated at the depart
ment that the actual number or

The government could have bought

Postal officials after the arrests
would not say whether their investiga-

when asked a question on this point,
declined to answer. Mr.. Bristow also
declined to say what action was likely
to be taken in the case of G. e. Smith,

neuver and rushed for the train, which
