St Augustine is Flooded.

St. Augustine. Fla. Oct. 1e.-The en tire business section Of St. Augustine is flooded with inrushing sea water while the wind and waves are still rising. The water Is pouring over the seawall from the highest storm tide in l6 years. It is feared it will sweep nigh over the city.
 So far there has been no loss of life and the property damage is confined mainly to the unroofng of a few houses, the tearing down of a few porchea and the uprooting of trees, all due to the wind.
 All night rockets were fired in the city to warn the residents of outlying sections of their peril.
 The morning found street car traffic tied up, some of the cars standing deep in the water. The prospects were that no trains would be able to arrive or leave the city.
 By nine o'clock the wind was blow. ing 60 miles an hour. The last re. ports before the wires went down south of here along the Florida east coast where the wind velocity on the exposed keyys was terrific.

month (the agreed rental price) from March 1910 to January 1911. Attor- ney J. 1. Alley represented Dr. Davis in this suit.
 The case of the Gay Oil Company vs N. M. Roach, which was taken under advisement by Judge Steel Tuesday on point of law regarding the con- struction to be placed on the clause guaranteed against leakage" was passed ton Wednesday. The court decided that in the face of the ruling on the case when in the supreme court he had decided that the clause did not mean that the barrels were guaranteed not to leak but was a warranty against loss occasioned by leakage. The attorneys in the case stated that they could probably agree as to this and the case did not go to trial.
 This has been railroad day in court. Attorney J. E. McDonough of Fort Smith was present repre- senting the Kansas City Southern and with him number of witnesses from various points along the line. It developed, however, that the wit nesses were not needed. There seemed to be an earnest desire on the part of Attorney McDonough to avoid facing a Polk county jury and as result at number of cases were settled by agreement without going to trial and several efforts made to remove cases to the federal court. In this he was unsuccessful, but this afternoon when Special Judge W. N. Martin went on the bench an agreement was reached whereby all railroad cases were set for Novem- Der 4. Thus the day passed without a jury trial.

 Illness Dates Back One Year.
 Senator Delivers illness dates back more than year and a half. Before going to Washington for the last session of congress he had been slightly ill but 1t was not regarded as especially serious.
 Last spring he had trouble with his eyes and submitted to an operation. A few weeks later word was received in Fort Dodge that he was confined to his bed on account of illness, the ex- act nature of which was not made known. It was given out here by his intimate friends that he was thHeat- ened with general physical collapse.
 Fort Dodge Shrouded In Grief.
 Fort Adge Is city shrouded in grief At first the neighbors and fel low townsmen could not realize that the spirit of the great progressive" leader had gone out. Then as the tragedy of the death began to dawn on them they left their homes to gather in groups on the street corners to speak in whispers of the full life of the dead senator. The closest friends of the family hastened to the home to offer their condolences and sympathy to the stricken family
 In a few hours the word passed over the entire country, and tele- grams of sympathy began to pour in from almost every city in the United States. The colleagues of the dead senator were early to offer their con dolenees. and there were many words of sympathy from the statesmen and diplomats of Washington

 That the property damaged has beer heavy, is indicated by the brief bulIc tins from the east coast and tho ex treme southern keys before communi cation ways cut of. Conservative estimates place the loss to the orange growers at $1,000.000.

 The people of Mena may not have millions but they have right of way, ties, etc, and could build few miles and by morteagine that, go on build ing until the road is completed. Pip kin stated railroad contractors had told him the road could be built for eighteen thousand dollars per mile. Some discussion came up on routes, both maps being practiclly the same. Pipkin contending one mountain pass necessary, McDonough contending several ways to get through.
 Scoegin stated granting two charters would prevent building as bonds could not be floated. Norwood's motion was then unanimously carried. He then offered resolution declining charter to McDonough road. This also carried, lobe voting no because not familiar with conditions of country, saying if only one railroad could hold the pass he would favor Mena citizens. Ludwig voted no because he said he never had voted against issuance of any charter in the state.
 McDonough withdrew immediately after the board meeting. Mena citi- zens are expecting him to take i'm mediate legal steps to force the board to grant charter to his road, but they claim mandamus will fail as the action of the board is in judicial capacity. That it may be compelled to act, but not compelled to act in any certain way. and in this case it has acted.
