TOWN SWEPT
BY FLOOD
.0NE MAN DROWNED
IN RAGING WATERS
CloudburSt Strikes Village of
Hamburg = People Seek
Safety in Upper Floors Of
DweIIingS-LoSS $4,000.

Reading, Pa, Aug. 3.-A terrific
cloudburst struck the borough OF
Hamburg, this county, late today. A
ten-foot flood swept through the main
portion of the town, leaving in its
wake ruin and devastation. There
are washouts in the streets to the
depth of ten feet. Allan j. Romig,
who was working in a tinsmith shop,
was drowned. The shop was swept
away. More than fifty dwellings We're
damaged. Many pesons escaped
drowning by rising to the upper floors
of their residences. The total loss
will amount to more than $4,000.
The great rush of water through the
town was caused by the collapse of
the dam at Union -four mill. There
were many thrilling rescues and mar
row escapes. One of the most nota-
BILE was that of the family of Profess
sor Wallace a blind organist. When
the flood came all the members of
the family sought refuge on the sec~
ond floor. The water rose almost to
the second story and neighbors with
boats went to their rescue. The blind
man was lifted out of a window bv
means of a rope made of bedding and
the children were tossed from the up
per windows and caught by the men,

BURNED THE MAIL
TO STOP LETTER
Inccndary Deposits Phosphorus in
London POstOIice.

London, Aug. "a strange fire oc-
Cured at 9:45 o'clock tonight at the
west end branch of the postoffice.
One of the staff noticed a strong smell
of sulphur and observed smoke issu-
ing from a letter box. An alarm of
fire was turned in and upon the ar
rival of a fire engine a nozzle was in
serted in the box and the fire was soon
eXtinguished.
The box contained all Of London's
foreign mail deposited In the Cam
bourn street branch. Half of it was
burned and the remainder was plac-
cd in a bag. As an official entered
cab with it the mail burst into
flames, which were quickly extin-
guished. Then a small phial was dis
covered. 1t had contained a liquid
preparation of phosphorous. The po-
lice are of the opinion that someone
wishing to prevent the delivery of one
or more letters took this means of
destroying the mail. This is the first
instance of the kind known here
The correspondence will be minutely
examined before it is delivered.

SMELTERMEN'S STRIKE
CLOSES BUTTE MINES
One Mans Refusal to Pay
Union Dues Responsible for
Wholesale Tie-up of Mon
tana Copper Properties

Butte, Mont, Aug. '3.-The five
mines of the Boston ana Montana
Copper company shut down at &
o'clock this evening, the men being
notified that the properties would re-
main inactive until the strike of the
smeltermen at the Great Falls smelt-
ing plant of the company had been
settled. Three thousand men are rem
dered idle in this city, besides a num-
Der of ore train crews which have
heretofore, been hauling the output OF
the Boston and Montana mines, about
1000 tons daily from the Butte prop
critics to the Great Falls smelters.
1t develops that one man, who was
in arrearages on his union dues is the
cause of the whole trouble which thus
far has thrown 5000 men out of em-
ployment. Five smeltermen, consti-
tuting a committee, became too In
sistent in demanding the discharge of
the smelterman behind in his union
payments and the quintet were dis.
charged Their dismissal precipitated
the trouble, the union demanding the
reinstatement of the five men, and
upon the company's refusal the strike
was ordered.
A dispatch tonight from Great
Falls states that at a meeting of the
Mil and Smeltermen's union tonight,
the strike which has shut down the
Boston and Montana electrolytic
smelters and the mines of the COM
pany in Butte was declared off, the
men agreeing to resume work tomor-
row morning pending an investigation
into the cases of five smeltermen who
were discharged by the company, and
whose reinstatement is demanded by
the union,

PRESERVE PUBLIC MORALS
New York Organization Undertakes
Heavy Contract.

New York, Aug. &C S. Andrews
counsel to the Medical Society of the
County of New York, has announced
the completion of plans for n confer
ence to be held in the Hudson theater,
New York, on November 12 to devise
ways and means for protecting and
preserving the public health and
morals.
The particular evils complained of
are charlatanism and quackery; the
indiscriminate sale of narcotics. Opt
ates, alcohol and other poisonous
drugs under the guise of so-called
Harmless" patent medicines; the sal
of adulteratcd drugs and foods; the
acceptance by newspapers Of objec-
tionable medical advertisements. AZ
tention also will be paid to the prob
lem of child labor.
The conference is expected to au-
thorize an application to the New
York legislature for a charter broad
enough to cover the objects of a pro-
posed society which will have its state
branches, with local societies in the
leading towns and cities of the coun-
try.
The membership is not confined to
any profession. Many societies and
prominent citizens have indorsed the

ALLEGED ANARCHIST
MAY SUE GERMANY
Kaiser's Police BlundePcd In Arrest
ing Seattle Man.

Altonia, Prussia, Aug. 3.-Police
authorities here feel a certain griev-
ance against their American colleagues
for having entagled them in the affair
of August Rosenberg formerly Of Sc
atle, Wash, who was arrested here
on July on a charge of being en-
gagged in an anarchistic conspiracy,
but who was subsequently released.
They arrested Rosenberg on advices
from the United States, on suspicion
that he was an anarchist and in eN-
pectation that adequate testimony 10
prove this would be forthcoming.
Rosenberg appealed to the Ameri-
can consul at Hamburg for protection
as an American citizen. The consul
forwarded the documents in the case
to the ambassador at Berlin, who
called on the foreign office either TO
try Rosenberg or to release him. The
police at Altoona were obliged to reply
to the foreign office that there was
not sufficient ground to either hold or
try Rosenberg. The foreign office
then ordered his release and gave him
permission to remain in Germany
Rosenberg may sue the police Tor
damages for unjust arrest and Inn
prisonment.

READY TO WAGE WAR
ON BRYAN'S CANDIDACY
Illinois Man Resents Request for Hi:
Resignation From National
Committee.

Chicago, Aug. 3.-William Jennings
Bryan must pay the penalty for his
demand that Roger C. Sullivan, demo-
cratic national committeeman from
Illinois, be ousted from the national
committee. This decree has gone out
of the Hopkins-Sullivan camp, and
the penalty is set as the absence of in
dorsement of Bryan for the presi-
dency by the democratic state con-
vention, which meets at Peoria, Aug
ust 81.
Sullivan's friends expect to control
that convention by more than two
thirds of the delegates. They declare
that Mlllard F. Dunlap and Judge
Owen p. Thompson, of Jacksonville
whom they credit with the RESPONSE
blllty for Bryan's antl-Sullivan letters
will not have enough delegates in the
Peoria assemblage to make respect
able Committee on Lonesome
Roads"
Sullivan, in replying to Bryan's let
ter. gave out a statement in which he
says:
IF the letter was written by Mr..
! Bryan, 1t furnishes proof that he has
allowed himself to persist in what the
democratic national convention OF
1904 declared was a misrepresenta-
tlon and libel. 1t is probable that
he is willing again, as he was when nc
permitted himself to cut so unenvia-
BILE a figure as he did in the Bennett
will controversy.
Even If were willing to resign, a'
requested, could not do so under
present conditions. If I did, after the
charge which Mr.. Bryan makes,
would be declaring not only that
was guilty of fraud but that three
/ fourths of the democratic leaders IL
the country were equally guilty"

tanned in consequence of "unwarant-
ed military action on the part of Ger
man, British or American officers in
Samoa between January /, 1899, and

BARRACKS HEAP OF
SM0ULDERING RUINS
Thousand Prisoners Await
Coming of Court Martial in
Dungeons of HeISingfOrS
and Skatudden Island.

Helsingfors, Aug. 3.-The corre-
spohdent of the Associated Press was
permitted today to look over the for-
tress on the main island as well as
other fortiflcations overlooking the
town, although the officials who COM
piled with his request were careful
not to allow him to see the guns.
The scene proved the truth of the
statements previously cabled, that the
mutineers had the upper hand in
practically all fortresses until the ar
rival of the warships.
Escorted by an officer, the corre-
spondent was shown all the minor
barracks and Notifications mad the
wharf and neighboring quays, which
bristled with machine guns. Flag
staffs had been splintered as if the
mutineers had tried to shoot away the
Russian eolors. The most severe
fighting from the fortress was direct
ed on the headquarters of the COM
mander, who, on the second day Of
the trouble was forced to seek shell
ter i'm a better protected place.
The barracks in the vicinity showed
plainly the effects of the fighting.
They are today nothing more than
tottering ruins, upheld by iron grid
ers. The church in which hangs the
memorials of the French and En-
glsh bombardment of 1855 was
struck several times, but ii is evident
that the mutineers did not wish to
destroy the building, in spite of the
fact that none of its windows remain
whole.
The result of the firing was seen
on every hand fragments of shrapnel,
shot and shell littering all the walk
ways. The fortress itself bore many
signs of the bombardment, great rents
stroyed windows telling their own
tales. The correspondent was not
permitted to examine in detail the
fortiflcations held by the rebels, as
these form part of the national de-
fense and are secret. There is nc
question that until the warships came
up the government was powerless tc
adequately reply to the mutineers and
was simply able to hold its positions

yet known, but $50 men are missing
