GREAT DAMAGE In PARIS

Loss Already Placed at Six Million

Homeless and Destitute in Eastern
and Southern France.
Paris, Jan. 25.-The weather is
warm and it is still raining, causing
continuation of the alarming rise OF
the Seine, which is already at an un'
precedented height threatening the
city with incalculable loss.
The Seine will likely flood the road,
way of the famous Place de lie Con
corde within few hours.
The entire city is in danger of a
water famine Five rroundissements
are already without water, due to the
breaking of their water mains and the
contamination of the supply by sew
age. The suburb of Iyry, with 10000
inhabitants, is completely under water
The basement Of the Louvre, the
worlds greatest art palace, is flooded
putting the heating plant out of com.
mission. Owing to the continued
dampness pictures and plaster casts
in the Louvre are being damaged and
the Joss promises to be irreparable.
Unless some way is found imme
diately of ventilating that part of the
subway that has not yet been flooded
the entire underground system will be
put out of commission. The vilest
odors permeate the subway, making
travel in it almost impossible. Refuse
from broken sewers has been swept
into the subway.
The government is taking active
steps to prevent an epidemic of ty.
phoid, of which there is great danger.
While the situation in Paris is
alarming it is no more serious than in
the Eastern and Southern parts OF
France, where 100000 are homeless
and in destitute circumstances.
Loss in Paris Fully S6,ooo,ooo.
The loss in Paris alone is already
placed at $6,000,000, with every inch
rise of the Seine adding thousands to
the loss.
In the country districts the situation
amounts to national disaster

.G|LMER CITIZENS
GRANTED PARDONS.
Election Managers who Pleaded
Guilty on Friday were
Pardoned Saturday.

The political row in Gilmer county
took a sudden turn Saturday when
Governor Brown pardoned all the men
who had been convicted or pleaded
guilty to charges of violating the cleo
ton laws.
There were twenty-five in the bunch,
including A. H. Burtz who had been
sentenced to pay fine of $500 or serve
twelve months. The others had enter
ed pleas of guilty and had been
sentenced to pay fines of 500 and costs.
making a total assessment of $50.
Mr.. Burtz claimed that he was not
allowed time in which to prepare his
defense. The others claimed that they
had entered pleas of guilty because
they felt that they would not be given
fair trials. Burtz had made a motion
for new trial in his case and it had
been granted by Judge Morris.
The charge against the culprits was
that, as election managers in the
Primary, they had allowed men to vote
whose names were not on the list
The registrars had stricken the
names, it was claimed, for non paw
ment taxes and the election mana
gers, it seems, allowed them to vote
anyhow,
The application for clemency did not
go to the Pardon Board but went direct
to the Governor. The order granting
a new trial to Burtz was signed Satur-
day morning and he was pardoned the
same day. The others pleaded guilty
Friday and were pardoned Saturday.
In addition to Burtz those pardoned
were: j. S. Waters, H. T. Weaver.
