Austin. Penn. Sept. 30.-Between 800
and 1000 persons were drowned and
untold numbers were manned here this
afternoon when the great dam of the
Bayless Pulp and Paper Company, hold
ing back more than five hundred million
gallons of water. went out.
Forty bodies have been recovered.
many of them so MANNED that recog-
nitlon is impossible.
Governor John X. Tener Of Pennsyl-
vania has been asked for help, and re-
lief train was sent from Coudersport'
four miles away.
The survivors are in a frenzy. There
ia no organization, the town being dazed
by the force Of the calamity, which came
without a moments warning.
Hundreds of men, women and children
are searching through the ruins of the
village for their families and friends.
Broken Gas Pipes Set Fire.
The only light is the glare from hun
dreds Of houses and business buildings,
which caught fire from broken gas pipes
almost before the flood had passed.
Chaos reigned from the moment the
mighty wall of water tore through the
town, and there will be no relief until
help comes from the surrounding towns.
Meantime many bodies lie in the track
Cf the flood.
The dam was built two years ago. 1t
was a great structure. $50 feet long,
spanning the little valley formed by
Freeman Run; and rising 10 the height
of forty-nine feet. 1t was of concrete,
thirty-two feet wide at the base, and
said to be constructed after the most APP
proved plans Of modern engineering.
TIL, basin behind it had never been filled
with water until this week, and to-day
it was noticed that water was running
over the top of the structure. Many
persons went out from the town, mile
and half away, to see the unusual
sight. and il was while they were watch
ing the overhowing water that the first
break occurred.

survivor who reached Austin at 10
o'clock tonight said that there was
hardly sign OF life in Costello.
Whether most Of the citizens perished
in the flood or fed to the hills the man
could not say. He believes, however,
that two-thirds Of the population are
dead. Practically every building in the
town was levelled by the torrent which
came from Austin.
Definite Information was obtained
after 10 o'clock that every member Of
the family Of State Senator Frank f.
Baldwin. except the Senator himself,
was killed. These include Mrs. Baldwin,
their children, Senator Baldwin's
mother, father and sister. The Senator

The flames are sweeping the entire
town at 10 o'clock, and only the hospital
and schoolhouse, on a hill, will escape
destruction.
