bruised so that he may lose it. The
occupants of both cabs jumped.
The contact was head-on, at full
speed, and occurred on a high fill.
The engines were badly torn up and
both rolled down the embanslnent.
Five or six freight cars we're demol-

His mother, Mrs. Livy Calvert, aud
his brother, and sister, Lulu and
Felix. were all four drowned. In.
surance was old Calvert's hobby and
his boy will have tidy sum. There
has been much discussion as to, the
finding Of 80 few bodies There is
nothing unusual about this for the
reason that there has at no time
been any organized search for them,
and those that have been found were
IN most instances discovered by the
merest accident. A man was dig
ging to find some trace of his house
in sahtuc today when after going
about two feet in the sand he dis
covered three bales Of cotton which
had been entirely covered up. This
clearly gives ON idea of about what
might have happened to some of tho
drowned.
The body of Julius Bigerstaff of
Santuo, and also the body of the
boy, Lawson Waddell, were found
in the sand just below Clifton.
They were in such a condition that it
was necessary to bury them at once.
A. W. Greer, an aged man who re-.
sided in the mill No. 3 district, was
buried this afternoon. Greer had a
remarkable escape. Despite the
fact that he was nearly 70 years old
he managed to grasp a tree and
save himself He finally died last
evening, however, as result of his
wounds. Still another dead body of
a woman was found near Union to-
day, bringing the total up to about
60.

SUCC0R REACHES
S0RELY STRICKEN.
SITUATION IN MILL YALLBY
VASTLY IMPROVED.
The Death List Has Grown Until It Bears
Sixty-TwO Names.
Tho State.

The State.
Charlotte, N. G., June 1O.-As the
wind is tempered to the shorn lamb,
help came to the hard pressed suffer-
ers on the Pacolet sand dunes and
wastes today. Through no letharey.
but not fully comprehending the des-
t'tntion of the operatives, the com.
mlttee having charge Of the subsorlp-
ton fund has not hastened with lts
work. To-day, however, a committee
comprising r. H. T.. Chapman, chair
man, W. t. Dillingham;, w. Il. Bur
net, John Baine, John A. Law, and
DIR RI. II. Blake went to the scene.
They found the conditions as already
reluctantly depicted in tnese dis
patches, and the work of relief ia now
on in earnest. 1t has come in the
nick Of time.
But the silver tints now show
plainly for the unfortuuates Oh and it il
not likely that they will have TO un.
dergo more suffering in the hellish
heat Of the sand lands. A carload
of clothing, food and provisions and
money was taken the operatives today.
Work il in sight, the Southern rail-
way, with liberality rare, is issuing
passes to any of them that care to
leave and the situation, which had
such desperate aspect yesterday
aud the day before, is relieved.
Reports from the outlying districts
are coming in and it is only matter
OF tim" when more dead bodies will
b" discovered. lhe finding of an
other dead body today makes the
total number 81. Despite the fact
that the mayor of Spartunburg has
, said that further subscriptions were
unnecessary, they come in and pleas
ant things of Colnmbia's liberality
are heard at every turn. A few
hours ago the sight of ~ storm clond
in the sky filled the hearts of the op-
eratives with fear, but 30 furnace
like has been the heat in the valley
OF the Pacolet that the storm of this
afternoon WAS welcomed with delight.
After it had cast it's waters downward
rainbow rose out Of the low sand
lands and tipped its crescent on the
green hillside above the Converse
wreck The operatives, dense and
ignorant, regarded it in wonder and
hope For the tragedies of the Red
Sea we're no more direful than theirs.

WITHOUT WARNING,

WITHOUT WARNING,
the river suddenly began to rise.
The city was made safe along the
river front, but suddenly a new
danger menaced. Word was re-
ceived that the Illinois Central
embankment, skirting the river
along the southern boundary Of the
city, was threatening to give way.
Couriers were sent on horseback
and afoot to shout warnings to the
inhabitants of the southern half Of
the city. Carloads of sand bags
were rushed to the place and work
was hurriedly begun. Accustomed
to warnings the inhabitants did not
leave their homes. Higher and
higher rose the water until thin
stream began pouring over the
embankment and suddenly it
broke.
PANIC ENSUED.
Hundreds of families from the
choicest residence portions of the
city carrying trunks, grips, bundles
of clothing and valuables, began to
cross Eads Bridge tow ard St. Louis.
Most of refugees were scantily clad
Strong men carried aged women
in their arms, followed by women
with babies. Barefooted children
were in the procession, which con-
tinued steadily over the bridge.
Hundreds of others sought protec-
ton in the second story of the pub
lie library building. Congressman
Rodenburg estimated that thirty
lives were lost in the flooding Of the
lower portion of East ST. Louis
early this morning.
II is estimated that 10, 900 inhab-
itants are affected by the district
already flooded and that 500 to 600
are Immediately in danger from
rising flood.

Inc secret ef successful jelly making

The kind Of bags used for straining

Three kinds are needed, made Of mos

MOUNTING LARGE ANIMALS.

AT one tine or another in his life,
every boy who Is boy has been fired
with a desire to stuff animals Of
some sort-either a fayorite dog
which has met an untimelY fate. oran
unfortunate cat, or some wild animal
which has fallen into his hands. As a
rule, however, something has gone
wrong with the operation; either the
skin has been ruined in removing it
or it has been spoiled by insects after
il was removed; or, If both Of these
difficulties were gotten over success
fully, the result has looked so awk-
ward and shapeless that it has soon
been thrown away.
This Is not surprising, says Critten-
den Marriott, in ST Nicholas, when il
Is understood how much skill is need

or small, and how thorough a knowl-
edge Of lis anatomy is required to

Nowadays all small animals are
