for the Bank of Austin, but 1t was

"But the worst of all were the
cries Of the women and children.
Most all the men were at work and
they were at home alone. Many had
heard the warning sent out by the
telephone girl. The fire bell was
sounded and many thought it was a
fire.
Some of them rushed to the bust
ness section and were caught in the

crushed in the crumbling buildings
and others were caught in the flames
1t was frightful. can not begin to
tell it all.
Little children playing in yards
at home were caught up by the vats!
and tossed about on the food ike
playthings. Cattle and horses were
swept of and even the sidewalks
were torn up. And over and above il
all were the shrieks OF the hundreds
of poor people who could not escape.

Incidents of Flood.
Numberous incidents are being told
tonight of miraculous escapes and ter
rible deaths. Every house on Turner
street was destroyed by the flood and
the debris piled high along the little
valley The five to eight churches
are all gone. The public institutions
left are the hospital and the school
houses.
Thousand Buildings Gone.
The White House, hotel, was burn
ed and it is estimated tonight that a
thousand buildings have been torn
from their foundations and crushed
in the flood or have been destroyed by
the fire. The water made It's way
through the business section of the
town and left only four buildings
standing.
All the buildings in the lower part
of the valley were swept clear of their
foundations by the. torrent, and many
of those which remained quickly fell
prey to the flames. There was no
one to attempt to stop the fire and it
was allowed to burn Itself out, the
survivors OF the flood standing idly
on the hillsides, stunned beyond the
power to act.
Austin, Pa, Oct. 1.-Estimates OF
the loss Of life In the flood that over
whelmed the town of Austin yester-
day diminished today when an army
of volunteer rescuers worked its way
into the masses Of wreckage. In the
opinion OF many on the ground the
number OF deaths will not reach $50,
while the less hopeful place the list
OF fatalities at 800.

FOURTH TELEPHONE
NIGHT BRINGS FORTH
FIFTY MORE BOWLERS.

For the fourth time since the inau-
guration of the STAR headpin tourna-
ment the bowlers of the New York
Telephone Company had last night on
the Iroquois alleys a special night set
aside for them. No less than fifty
bowlers took part in the competition
of Telephone Night" II there were
a great many more on tho sid lines
who rooted for the success of the bowl
ers.
w. j. Mcguire was in charge of last
nights affair. The bowling was run
eff in good style, and all hands had an
enjoyable time. The only regret ex-
pressed was that not one of the fifty
bowlers was able to win one of the
watchfobs offered by the STAR to
those who roll scores of 100 or better.
There were not a few in the nineties, :
and some within a pin or two of the
desired mark. Mcbride, of Team No.
S. touched SO. He started with a miss,
hut filled i'll finely thereafter and had
80 in the eleventh frame. With a
strike needed for a fob he had the
hard luck to have one pin remain
standing. Egan, of Team No. 3, rolled
9S. He had a miss in the sixth frame
after starting with two strikes. He
! lad eighty IN the tenth box and needed
d double-neader. Two pretty hits,
however, only earned him nine pins.

ESSEX TRADES COUNCIL IS
NOT OPPOSED TO HEISLER.

Should Mayor Haussling decide to
appoint Joseph Heisler as assessment
commissioners there would be no oppo-
sition from the labor organizations
here. This was decided at a meeting

when Secretary Hilfers spoke on the
matter. Mr.. Hilfers asserted that
prior to the meeting he had been APP
preached by someone who reminded
him that the union men opposed Heis-
ler's appointment as police commits
sioner because of his attitude toward
labor.
The secretary declared he thought
it would be a mistake to interfere and
the other members who spoke agreed
with him.

PREPARE FOR WINTER WHEAT
Where sown After Barley or oats
Should Be PIowed as Soon as Pos.
slble After Harvest.

Where wheat is sown after barley,
oats or wheat seeded on last falls
cornstalks. the field should be plowed
as early after harvest as possible II
this cannot be done at once, harrow
the land to break down the stubble
and destroy weeds and start weed
seeds to germinate. The rubbish will
moist, and It will plow much easier
than If left unprotected to bake in the
hot summers sun.
The three-horse double springtooth
harrow and the double steel disk are
the two best implements for cutting
up stubble ground Three heavy
horses hooked to the disk harrow will
cut the ground fully five inches in
depth. By narrowing the field both
ways before the grounds becomes too
hard the land will be put In nice con-
dition to plow later in the month.
The ground should be plowed early
this month so the stubble turned un.
der will rot and the ground settle
nicely before It is time to drill. The
ground should be narrowed a few days
after It is plowed to prevent the es.
cape of moisture. Fresh plowed land
can be well pulverized by one cross
narrowing An occasional narrowing
should be given to keep the ground
