SIXTY DEAD IN FLOOD.
TOWN OF CLIFTON, ARIz., Is
WASHED AWAY.
Business Section Us Ruined by Ris-
ing Waters of SAN Francisco
River and Chase Creek-Minne-
sofa Judge Hangs Himself.

Confirmatory news comes of the al
most total destruction of the business sec
ton of Clifton, Ariz., and the loss of
at least sixty lives in flood that swept
down the San Francisco river and Chase
creek. Mrs. Joseph Throm, her hus-
band, and children were caught in a fall
ing building. The woman was killed.
The other members of the family had
narrow escapes. One of the saloons
which was washed away carried several
men into the torrent and all are believed
to have drowned. A woman and a child
were lost in a small restaurant which
was dashed to pieces in the flood. A
number of small frame buildings in which
people were known 70 be living were also
destroyed. 1t is feared that a number
of families persisted. The works of the
Arizona Copper Company in that sec
ton were filled with the wreckage of
buildings, powders, and mud. Damage
was done in North Clifton, several stores
and many residences being washed down.
Patterson's addition was almost entirely
wiped out. East Clifton was greatly
damaged and many buildings were de-
stroyed In South Clifton less damage
was done. Clifton is town in Graham
County, southeastern Arizona. The place
has population of $500.

On this subject President Hadley of
Yale delivered the second of a series of
lectures at the New York school of phi
lanthropy, designed to discover the basis
of public morals He said there were
two objections to modern trade ethics !;
first, that trade is gambling or worse !;
second, that fair competition cannot ex-
list when buyer and seller are on equal
terms. He admitted that much of spec
ulation is bad but insisted that some of
it was good and, indeed necessary. Right
speculation demanded that the speculator
be able to make good his guarantee as
to the future; for If he is using the
money of others, the others must suffer
the losses, while his profit is certain.
Such trade he defined as gambling with
loaded dice. Speaking of competitive sys-
TEN in general. President Hadley holds
that the good outweighs the evil, and it
seems to him undeniable that all through
the nineteenth century the laboring class
has made great progress by reason of
the existing competition. The abuses Of
child labor, the sweat shop, etc, he re-
CARDS as remnants of a former system
and not characteristic of modern compe-
tition.

FIRE IN ST. LOUIS.

Flames Cause Death and Panic in
Salvation Army Hotel.
The Lighthouse hotel, a three-story
structure at Ninth and Market streets,
st. Louis, utilized as Salvation Army
barracks, was damaged by fire early
Wednesday, when probably 500 homeless
men were lodged within it. Six lost
their lives and probably thirty-fve we're
injured, about half that number being
seriously injured, some not being expect
ed to live.
The fire started on the third floor and
swept through the old building rapidly.
Men fought at the windows to secure the
life-lines and slide to the street, but so
great was the frenzy with which the
ropes were seized and held that they
were of little avail and those who could
not escape by the. stairway leaped from
the windows. A large number of those
who jumped were caught in nets but
many jumped before the nets were
stretched and were injured. There was
only one stairway and the panic stricken
| men surged down this stairway to the
| street, only to find the door locked. A
jam resulted and probably a great loss of
life would have occurrd had not fremen
promptly burst the door open, permit
ting the frenzied men to pour out into
the street. The cause of the FIRE has not
been ascertained.
The building was a three-story struc-
