hundred and perhaps more people
perished' Friday night and Yesterday
in the flood which swept over Il large
portion OF this city. Conservative es-
Inmates place the property damage ar
s2a.o00.000. Fifteen thousand people
are homeless. More than 500 bodies
have been recovered.
The greatest loss Of life occurred
Saturday morning between . and IL
o'clock, when the large buildings on
the south side of the river commenced
to crumb.e. Many of the houses had
from 100 tn 200 people on their roofs
and all disappeared in the flood
In one school bgui'ding 80 children
and women We're drowned. They had
gone to the school for safety, but the
water drove them from room To rooin
until they were clustered in one room,
and while two priests were performing
some religious rites the walls fell and
all We're swallowed up in the floods.
Thousands of people We're stand
ing on the north bank of the river un-
able to render aid to the unfortunates
on the buildings on the south side. for
nothing could have lived in the cur
rent OF the Santa catarina. which was
half a mile wide and flowing swiftly.
Watchers saw buildings loaded with
people collapse and the people disap-
pear in the water.
There is scarcely an establishment in
the city that did not lose employees.
The electric light and power company
had Is men employed as linemen, but
only 10 reported for work today.
The city was without drinking water
today. Street car traffic was aban-
doned after two or three Intellectual at
tcmpts to run cars. The light and
power plant was forced To shut dowa.
Acts of Bravery.
Many acts of bravery were noted.
one American named II. II. Reade,

of Tamaulipas. alone saved 80 persons.
A Japanese cook employed by the chief
of police saved two boys from a tree

was there that the change lay. Into
the beauty that had been hitherto only

Alicia about, but enough to be noticed,
and to exert a refining influence. Upon

jealousy was for a woman not his wife.
The overwhelming tide of public opin-
ion was against Grey. Murder was too
common, and the public conscience was
ashamed and aroused. So gross a case
as this should be punished, and the
jury, after brief elaboration, brought
in a verdict of murder in the first de-
gree with the punishment of death. An
appeal was taken at once, but the
judges who sat then on u highest
bench were a stern set of men, and 1t
was known in advance with absolute
certainty that the appeal would be re-
jected.
AS soon as Grey was convicted | was
besieged with petitions for his pardon.
The governor of the State may pardon
any criminal he chooses, and he need
not give any reason unless he choose.
All of Grey,s great wealth vas ex-
erted in his behalf, and it raised up for
him many friends who were willing to
work to ave him. The petitions poured
in to me, and delegations came to see

She came yet nearer to me and put
her hand Upon my arm. Tears were in
her lovely eyes as she raised them to
mine, but in them nevertheless shone
the light of perfect confidence.

for me-"

must keep ourselves white, not before

you will do it, Harry"
"And lose you forever!" ] exclaimed,
in a sudden passion, of which 1 was
ashamed a moment later.
"You would not win me in such a

thought that had come to me so often,

She spoke quite simply, without the
faintest touch of preaching, and for the
moment l could go into the far future
with her. My own vision seldom passed
beyond this world, but when Alicia
went. she could take me 90.
