Street Cars Stopped.

In the city of Monterey telephone
communication is impossible, the cleo
trio plant is half under water, the city,s
street car service is paT8iyzed and the
water supply is crippled.
Information reaching here through
reliable sources states that so severe
was the flood that the inhabitants in
the vicinity of the stream had barely
time To flee for their lives: that the on
rush of waters carried away their
homes and chattels and in many cases
drowned occupants of small hUts used
by natives. 1t is said that conditions
are chaotic and that the plazas are
crowded with homeless natives.
Buildings Of Monterey are in most
cases built of adobe, and when struck
by the flood literally dissolved. In many
instances inhabitants are reported to
have been caught in the falling mate
rial and drowned like rats I'm trap.
Flood conditions extend as far south
as Saltillo, although no great damage
beyond inconvenience to the citizens
and minor damage to the roadbeds of
the railroads is reported south Of Mon
terey. Telegraphic communication TO
the north is partly interrupted. but Il
was learned tonight that there had
been no loss of life reported south Of
Monterey.

1.eached here late this afternoon Of
one Of the most disastrous floods ever
known in northern Mexico.
It was caused by the overflow Of
the Santa CataTina river,
Eight hundred were drowned and
fifteen thousand are homeless.
The financial damage is estimated
at Sl2,0O0,000.
For the last forty-eight hours a verit-
able deluge Of rain has been falling,

stream and it reached a width of "a mile

certain portions of the city of Monte

losses of life. 1t is certain that the
flood was the most disastrous in the
memory of the oldest inhabitants and
that the loss of life viii be great.
Not a train has reached this city thus
far today. TelegTaphic communication

some trains is unknown

A VOICE FROM THE PULPIT.

Honesty is at last making its appearance in the orthodox
Christian pulpit Liberty of conscience and freedom of
thought and expression find ardent supporters in the
most unheard of places. From points where the thinking
mind would least expect it. arguments offered and poll
ces advocated for which the Freethnkcrs have baed for
generations and at times, with seeming little hope of sue
cess. Little by little the tide is turning and with the
march Of the higher criticism the fables of orthodox

According to this decision the children of Freeinkers,
