SHEATH GOWN MAKES PANIC.
Mayor and Police Finally Prohibit
Such Apparel.

Altoona, Aug. 22.-A pretty young
woman, said to represent a New York
modiste, created a panic when she
walked down street this morning clad
in sheath gown, which displayed a
remarkably pretty silk stocking.
Chief of Police Clark gasped. Then
he hurried to the office of Mayor
Hoyer and after the mayor had had a
look, the two officials became indig-
nant.
Chief Clarke was ordered to inform
the young woman that she must not
appear again in the Objectionable
dress or she would be arrested and
locked up. She promised to comply
with the command. Then Mayor
Hoyer issued an order to the effect
that If any other young woman ap-
peared in such a costume on the
street she would be arrested.

ANDERSON HIT HARD BY FLOOD.
The Losses Will Run Into the Hun
dreds of Thousands.

Anderson, Aug 27.-It will be
several days before anything like an
accurate estimate can be formed of
the damage done in Anderson county
by the great freshet Of Monday night
and Tuesday when 1882 inches of
rain fell. There are washouts on the
railroads in every direction.
The streams are still swollen,
though they are going down rapidly
to-day. Many country bridges are
gone, but the number of them is
not yet known. County Supervisor
Jackson said that 1T would cost at
least $4,000 to replace the bridges
alone, to say nothing of the cost Of
repairs to the roads which have been
washed away In many places.
The Blue Ridge Railroad was a
trestle over Broadway creek, be-
tween Anderson and Bolton, is wash
ed away. 1t will be some time before
the trestle can be rebuilt. One
bench of the "Six-and-Twenty" tres
tie, one Of the largest on the road
was washed away. There are a num-
ber of washouts on the road between
Anderson and Pendleton, the largest
being at the Cox Mills, where a long
embankment Is gone.
The passenger train from Augusta
on the G.. & w. G. Road ran into a
washout near the Orr Mills Tuesday
morning and the engine toppled over
into the mud. 1t cannot be moved
until a wrecking train arrives.
Part of the trestle over Rocky
river, near Lowndesville, Is gone, and
there are several washouts near
Starr.
The Anderson Water, Light and
Power Company has been heavy
sufferer. The current from Portman
Shoals was cut off yesterday after
noon. The machinery in the power
house was covered with water, and
1t will take several days to dry out
cedes.
The Savannah River Power Com
pany has also suffered heavily.
The power plant at Gregg Shoals,
on the Savannah river, has been COM
pletely flooded. The water rose eight
feet above the floor of the power
house, which makes the high-water
mark of the week at least IA feet
higher than was ever known at the
Gregg Shoals. The machinery in the
power house was flooded, but it is
not tho .ght the dam has been in
jured or that the power house itself
has suffered.
The Bolton Power Company's
power plant on Saluda river was
flooded with water. The d"m is not
hurt nor was the canal nor ne power
house itself. The machinery was all
covered with water though, but 1t is
not thought to be badly damaged.
The interurban line of the Ander-
son Traction Company was badly
hurt. There were heavy washouts
at Broadway creek, Cubbard's creek
and at Rocky River. 1t is thought
the bridges are safe, but some of the
abutments are probably damaged.

the Legislature yesterday, had his

KILLED BY GUN IN SUIT CASE.
L. j. Chafee, of Augusta Herald, Fa-
tally Wounded on Train,

Atlanta, Ca, Aug. 2S.-Through
the accidental discharge Of a pistol
inside his suit case, T. J. Chafee, re-
Gently associate editor of the Augusta
Herald, was fatally wounded about 4
o'clock Wednesday afternoon on
Georgia railroad train between Clark
ston and Stone Mountain.
Mr.. Chafee was returning to Au-
gusta from Sioux Falls, Iowa, where
he had been on a vacation. He was
seated near the front of the rear
coach chatting with p. A. Steiner, of
Augusta.
Some three miles this side of Stone
Mountain Mr.. Chafee opened his suit
case to get out cigar for himself
and his companion. He undid the
clasps, rose to spread out the case,
and moment later staggered for
ward in the aisle as pistol shot
rang through the coach.
Later investigation showed that
one Of the inside straps of the case
had caught between the guard and
trigger Of the pistol, which was a Al
Colts. In reaching for the box Of
cigars Mr.. Chafee had in some way
struck the strap. 1t Immediately
pulled against the trigger and the
pistol exploded.
The bullet had struck against the
buckle of his belt, and then glancing
upward had pierced his abdomen,
and broken his backbone.
Though suffering acute pain every
moment Mr.. Chafee lay uncomplain-
ing and entirely conscious. He gave
a ~
gusta and Charleston and requested
particularly not to wire his mother
direct. On reaching Stone Mountain
he was taken to Stone Mountain Inn,
where Dr.. j. G. Ernest and DR.. w, T.
McCurdy did all they could to save
his life. But he died in less than an
hour.

How to Keep Water Cold.

Having tried It, recommend the
following mode of keeping ice water
for long time in common pitcher"
says a writer in Woman's Home Com
panion. "Place between two sheets
Of thick brown paper layer of cot
ton batting about half an inch in
thickness; fasten the ends Of the
paper and batting together, forming
a circle, then sew or paste crown
over one end, making a box the shape
Of a stovepipe hat minus the rim.
Place this over and ordinary pitcher
filled with Ice water, making 1t deep
enough to rest on the table so as to
exclude the air, and you will be as
tonished to see the length Of time
that the ice will keep and the water
remain cold after all the ice has
melted"
