Austin. Pa, Oct. 1.-The curtain
Of night which was swung down on
the Austin food scarcely before its
victims all had been claimed ane its
surviving spectators fully realized
how great a tragedy the elements Of
water and ERE had enacted, was lift
ed by dawn today, revealing ghast-
ly scene Of death and desolation.
Austin itself, yesterday a busy
mill town Of 5000 persons, is only a
ghost Of a town today.
Torn to pieces by water and eaten
by FIRE, the vet and charred rem
nants Of its buildings, believed to
hold the bodies Of 800 or more per-
sons, we're strewn along the valley
edge, piled in rows where the main
street business section was, or swept
in scattered masses down the ravine.

life at Costello. where the residents

The property loss in the valley is
estimated at upwards of 50. 00o. 900

rectly involved in the deluge, hardly
a dozen survive.
The immediate scene of the oblit-
GRAFTON Of Austin covers an area
three-eighths Of mile vide and one
and three-quarters miles long. This
comprised the business section and
the valley residence portion.
Nearly mile above stood the
mammoth concrete dam of the Bay
less Paper and Pulp company, 600
feet long, ffty-two feet high and
thirty feet thick at the bottom. ta-
pering to a thickness of three feet
at the top.
Back Of this dam yesterday lay a
reservoir of water a mile and a half
long and an average of IS feet deep.
Directly in front of the dam stood
the plant of the Bayless company,
with four main buildings. Stacked
high nearby we're 100000 cords of
fifty inch wood and slabs and also a
portion of the company's immense
timber stock, totaling in the Austin
valley IS, 900, 900 feet Of hardwood
and $4,000, 900 of hemlock. This

The town proper was a smart little
place of comfortable frame houses
and more substantial business build

from side to side across the ravine.
The principal business buildings
included the brick structure occupied
jointly by the Austin bank and the
postofice, the department store Of
A. S. Ruck, the Goodyear hotel and
The Commercial House and numer-

WHEN MEAT is COSTLY
SEVERAL WAYS IN WHICH CHEAP
CUTS CAN BE PREPARED.
Mock Chicken and Beef Loaf Made
From Round Steak-Breakfast Dish
of Liver and Pork-Meat
Ole.

Here are some ways in which cheap
cuts of meat a be prepared:
Mock Chicken.-One and a half
pounds of round steak, cut into small
pieces about two inches square; roll
in -four, put in roasting a and fry in
butter till brown. Then remove from
stove, cover with cold water, add a
little -four, set in the oven and sim
mer for three hours; stir occasionally,
and add more water as needed to keep
the meat covered. When the meat Is
cooked 1t tastes surprisingly like
chicken. Thicker the gravy more II
necessary. Add salt bout an hour be-
fore it is done.
Beef Loaf-Three pounds round
steak, one-half pound salt pork, four
or five soda crackers, one-half cup OF
milk. Add more salt if desired. Sea
son with one-half teaspoon of ground
sage, or Glove or garlic, or a few drops
Of onion extract. Mix into a loaf and
bake in oven. Bast occasionally.
Breakfast Dish.-Take five cents
worth Of liver and ten cents worth
of a cheap cut of pork and put in a
kettle together; cover with four quarts
of water, cook slowly for an hour, salt
after it has commenced to boil, and
stir occasionally. Drain off half OF the
liquid and use for sol stock; 1t is
splendid. Place the remainder on the
fire and stir in enough yellow corn
meal to make as thick as mush. Run
the pork and liver through a meat
chopper, or chop fine. Season with
more salt, sage and pepper, and stir
into the meal mush. Turn out into a
pan and set in a 600 place. Fry Tor
breakfasts; it will keep for a week.
Meat Pie.-Get a ten-cent neck cut
of meat; trim, place in kettle, V
with old water, let come to a boil,
then simmer till done, keeping the
same amount of water on it. When
it is cooked, remove the meat, break
it up in small pieces, season ana
cover with stock. Thicker with Hour.
Then pour the mixture in a basin.
Make a dough as follows: TWO cups
-four, one heaping teaspoon OF bahlng
| powder, a pinch of salt, three round
ing tablespoons of lard, or butter; mix
we'll together, add enough milk to
make a dough that can be shaped
with the hands, press into a flat shape
and cover the meat in the basin. Bake
unfit done, about half or three-quar-
tiers of an hour. Half of the amount
of meat and stock will be enough for
four people. If all Of the meat and
stock is used, double the quantities
for the dough. If only half of the
meat is used, the balance may be
made into meat cakes for breakfast
or luncheon as follows: Chop the
meat, roll three crackers, chop one
small onion, salt and pepper to taste,
one Tablespoon of butter and one
egg. Beat the egg without separating,
melt the butter, mix all together,
make into fiat cakes and fry in meat
drippings.
