Pittsburg, Pa, July 19.-Conserva-
tive reports from the interior parts
of West Virginia indicate that the
floods caused by storms and cloud

hours are receding and that the dam
age will reach at least half million

been reported. At Macomber, the
greatest damage was sustained. A
loss to the county in bridges being
carried away will reach $780, 900. AT
this place while Mrs. Belyard and her
two children were standing on the
front porch watching the waters
which had already reached the floors,
the porch was swept away. A mo-
ment later Belyard stepped to the
door only in time to see his entire
family swept away. Claudius Wolfe
lost his life while attempting to ride
across a bridge. When in the middle
OF the structure the bridge was wash
ed away. The damage to the Balti-
more & Ohio railroad will reach $500,
600 principally in the tracks being
washed away.
The most damage to private prop
cray was at Newburg where several
were washed away and
nearly every house was flooded a
church at Evansville was overturned
and washed away.

"THE PLAYER
MAID" AT HOME
PRONOUNCED BY BALTIMORE
CRITICS AND PATRONS THE
BRIGHTEST AND MOST
WHOLESOME PLAY OF
THE GEAGnN
THE SEASON

Upon presentation OF "The Player
Maid" at the Academy OF Music, Bal
timore, recently, the home OF It's au-
thor, Miss Louise malloy OF the Bal
timer American. the enthusiasm OF
the audience for both the play and
It's stellar exponent. Miss Florence
Davis, was unbounded. One OF the
criticisms is as follows:
"The play is literary gem and
a dramatic. masterpiece. Ones at
tention is arrested at once upon the
rise of the courtain by the over in
.creasing comedy behind the scenes Of
the theatre. and as the play proceeds
there is not a tagging moment Each
scene is full OF action. OF novel in
cident, OF sparkling and pungent wit.
and there Is an artistic completeness
I'm the arrangement, the climax oc-
curing Just where the emotions OF
the audience logically demand It..
and in so bold-satisfying a manner
that contentment holds the people
quiet for a brief moment, then the
hart leaps In recognition OF the
bright, wholesome, intellectual and
altogether excellent play, and APP
plause bursts forth.
Miss Flornce Davis in the title role
is talented and charming as an ac-
tress, beautiful and graceful as a wo-
man. Her gaiety. her sweet girlish-
ness, her captivating petulance and
madcap frolicsomc spirits. and then
In contrast. tho depth and tender
ness shown in her love scenes are

the appointment OF this commission
is not necessarily Indicative OF the
speedy handling over of the govern

IN
THAT CASE.
BROTHER-IN-LAW OF MAN WHO
KILLED STANFORD WHITE Is
GOING TO NEW YORK WITH
BUNDLE OF SIGNIFICANT LET
TIERS.

New York, Jan. 4.-Howard Mes
bit, the young brother OF Everlyn
Nesbit-Thaw, Is thought to hold the
key OF the 1'haw tragedy.
He is coming to New York with a
bundle of letters said to bear direct
ly upon the Staying OF Stanford White
on the Madison Square Garden roof
last summer.
A dispatch from Pittsburg to-day
said that the lads mother, now Mrs.
Charles j. Holman. has been offered
$4,000 for the letters and papers
which the Nesbit-Holman family has
bearing on the tragedy. This offer
was refused, although the Holman IS
are not I'm affluent circumstances.
The secret of this refusal is that
Howard Nesbit, like his beautiful sis
ter, was the protege OF Stanford
White. The famous New York ar
chitect was paying for his education
at the time Harry Thaw shot him.

Cotton Congestion Causes Big Loss.

The cotton which has been eongest- ad i'll Little Rock for several months
 xposed to the weather. as the already .ull warehouses offered no storage room, is so dimaged that it is neces- sary in many cases to tear the bales open, separate that which is badly damaged from that which is slightly so. and then rebale the loose cotton before 1t can be placed upon the mark. et. A loss which varies large.y is sustained upon every bale so treated. In addition to the cost of labor to open the bales and sort the cotton. there Is the compress charge, and. lastly the actual damage to the cotton. It. IS estimated that several thousand dollars have been lost up to date is divided into three classes accord ing 10 the amount of damage which has been sustained. There are now, roughly estimated 5000 bales of cot. ton congested in the capital city. It is stated that the car shortage is such as to give no hope from the rail roads and that unless remedy is ap- piled quickly, much more will rot in the streets. The river is one means suggested, but that is 50 low at pres ent that only small packet could come up Should the expected two foot rise come this method would be more feasible

Great Crop of Fruit Promised.

Never in the history of the fruit growing industry in Crawford county has there been as encouraging pros pect for a full crop of all kinds of fruits as growers are now facing. The shipment of strawberries in small quantities has begun, showing the season to be just three weeks earlier than ever before, ana by April 10 they will be shipping them from Van Buren in solid trainloads No danger of frost is felt at this time. and the sole fear of growers is that they will not be able to get pickers enough to care for the crop. Promising as the berry and other small fruit crops are, the Elherta peach crop will be the zig crop this year. A half million trees will bear their first cror this year, and as the oldest trees even are still vigorous and heavily fruit ed, with favorable conditions for ma turing and marketing, the crop ~ peaches alone is estimated at zoo cars from Crawford county alone.

Thinks Fruit May Be Damaged.

After tour of the whole state, D. E. King, industrial commissioner for the Missouri Pacific Railway, does not think the crop prospects in Arkansas any too good. The weather which has induced unnatural developments is what is responsible for the present conditions, ill Mr. Kings opinion The berries, apples and peaches are now as matured as three weeks later in normal year. This does not mean that every fruit borne is three weeks ahead Of time, but that the first ones Will mature much earlier. The wea- ther which has prevailed during the winter is as much responsible for the prospects of poor crop as the un- usually warm spell which now pre- vails. In January the temperature rose as high as IS, and a spell not much cooler followed, which caused pears and other hardy fruit trees to blossom and fruit. The vegetable crop Is also unusually well advanced, ac- cording to Mir King, but he thinks that one good rain would relieve the situation.
