SUBMERGED BY A CLOUDBURsT.
Indiana Village Flooded. Water in Some
Places Up to Second Story Windows.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. July 2l.-George-
town. a village Of Floyd county, was visited
by cloudburst this afternoon. and for two
hours the place was almost completely
submerged. Water stood four feet deep on
Main street and in lower parts Of the town
the houses were under water, while In other
parts the food reached to second story
windows.
The downpour was so sudden and came
with such force that there were many mar
row escapes. but it is thought that all the
people escaped from the town to the higher
ground Immediately surrounding, Sew
eral houses were moved from their founda-
tons by the force Of the food and the stocks
Of goods In all the stores were more or less
damaged. thus causing a heavy money
loss.
The water from tho cloudburst had not
subsidized before Little Indian Creek, which
runs through the town, came down with
a terrific roar and again flooded the place,
the water running through Main street
like a millrace and extern ding over the
entire town. Tons OF hay, farming imple-
ments and many small outhouses were
borne down on the crest Of the torrent.
and the entire country east Of the town
was flooded. All reports indicate that the
property loss will be very great.

NEWSBOYS ROUT INVADERS.
Well Dressed Men Find II No Joke to Sell
Papers at the Bridge.

Three elderly men wearing good clothes
and apparently prosperous came across
City Hall Park last night carrying bundles
of newspapers At the Bridge entrance
they started to hawk their wares. In
three seconds every newsboy at the Bridge
had made for them.
TIL men were soon the center Of "A
hostile crowd that every moment grew
bigger The boys asked the police to
arrest he invaders, but the police kept
the boys from making good threats cal
culated to make the boldest quake.
Before the disturbance had lasted long
the men gave up and walking over to Annie,
in front OF the Pulitzer Building, gave her
their papers and ducked fora saloon. One
of them said they had bought the papers
from poor woman for dollar and thought
it would be a good joke to sell them. but
it wasn't.

PAULJONEsS BODY BACKTO-DAY.
Admiral sigsbee Reports Approach Of
His Squadron by Wireless.

NORFOLK, Va, July 2l.-.The cruiser
Brooklyn. flagship OF Admiral Sigsbee,
commanding the squadron Of United States
warships conveying the body Of Paul Jones
to Annapolis for reburial, attempted to
communicate with the Norfolk navy yard
this forenoon by wireless telegraph through
the station at Cape Henry from point at
sea apparently far distant from Norfolk.
The attempt was only partly successful, the
operator at the cape receiving disconnected
sentences.
These told, however, that the Brooklyn
was in communication with the ships OF
the squadrons commanded by Admiral
Evans and Admiral Davis. and that the
three squadrons were In close proximity
to each other, were about to effect juno
ton and would come into Hampton Roads
tomorrow morning
1t was evident that the communicate ons
which were passing between the ships at
sea were occasionally crossed by the Nor
folk messages and parts Of them were
interrupted. This began happening at l1:l5
o'clock this forenoon. Shortly afterward
communication between ships and shore
was broken and had not been resumed UP
to 1915 o'clock tonight.
Numerous attempts were made during
the afternoon and evening to resume COM
munication. The failure to do 80 is at
tributed to the condition OF the atmos-
phere, which seems to be heavily charged
with electricity
The break appears to be between Nor
folk and Cape Henry, the operator at the
navy yard being unable to raise the operator
at the cape.

N4vl'S WORST ACCIDENT.
Dead. -: Wounded, 5O: Missing. 2l-BOat
aTOtal Wreck.


WASHINGTON, July 21.-The destruction
of the gunboat Bennington, one OF the first
vessels OF tie new navy, is the worst
disaster coming entirely from accidental
causes that the American navy has ever
known. The blowing up OF the Maine
was the most disastrous happening to an
American war vessel, but the conditions sur
rounding that catastrophe differed greatly
from those of to-day when the Bennington's
boilers exploded.
despatch received at the Navy De-
partment tonight from Commander Lu-
Glen Young says that one officer, Ensign
Newman X. Perry, watch and division
officer Of the vessel, and 80 men are dead,
70 wounded and 81 missing, making a total
of 1871 casualties The total complement
of the vessel was 100.
The ship is n total wreck. The indica-
tons are that the total list of dead will go
much higher, as many of those now listed
as seriously wounded will probably die
There were apparently two explosions
according to Commander Young's second
despatch, the first when the top of the
lower furnace of what is known as boiler b
exploded. The explosion forced the boiler
astern in contact with boiler d. which in
turn was forced toward the stern Of the
vessel and exploded.
The first official information came to the
Navy Department about $50 o'clock
Eastern time) this afternoon in de-
spatch from Commander Young. He sent
merely the following:
~. s. S, Bennington, 1855 A. NJ. Boiler
exploded. Nearly every one killed or
wounded
No further word came until $40 o'clock
tonight, when second despatch. giving
more details and partial list Of the killed
and wounded. arrived. 1t was made
