its way through the business section of
the town and left only four buildings
standing. The valley of Freemans Run

1000 PERSONS PERISH
In FLOOD AND FIRE
Three Pennsylvania Towns Wiped Out--Fire
Adds Horror TO the Flood.
Five Hundred Millions of Gallons of Water Break
Through Dam, Leaving Death and De-
struction i'm Its PATH

Asstin, Ps.--Austin, town OF 5000
residents In the northern part Of the
state, WAS swept out OF existence Sat
uydsy and more than 500 Of Its people
we're killed by food which followed the
breaking of the Bayless Pulp and Paper
CompRny's dam, u mile and half north
Of the town. Almost five hundred mil
lion gallons of water rushed over the
place In wall three feet high, wrecking
every structure in its path.
ID lie feared that the towns Of Cos
tsllo and Wharton, also in the path Of
the food, have been destroyed. Reports
that Costello was wiped out aud $50
persons killed there were prevalent dur
Ing the night.
In Austin, the bursting Of scores OF
natural gas mains, as the buildings were
swspt away, added fire to the general
horrof OF the food, and hundreds OF those
Imprisoned in the wreckage were burned

Contents of the great dam, which was
allied to overfowing by the heavy rains
Of the last two weeks, swept through a
natural gorge Ia which the towns OF Aus
tin and Costello were situated While
many OF the residents of Austin escaped
10 the hills bordering each side of the
town, the warning given by the blasts OF
the Bayess mills whistles and tele-
phone girl were too brief for hundreds Of
Others.
The catastrophe paralleled in many re-
spects the destruction by flood OF Johns
town, Pa, in 1889, in which more than
5000 lives were lost.
The extent OF the loss Of life and the
dsstruction of property cannot be known
for several days. The property loss will
surely be several millions OF dollars.
Food supplies of the town were do
ssroyed, and immediate aid to survivors
was urgent Hundreds of those who es-
saped were seriously injured in the col
lapse OF their homes and the panic of the
rush for safety.

Information has been permitted to e,
to the public here about the fight 1oE
organisation Of the United States SEN
ate and the part played therein by the
group of progressive senator's who are
standing up for a square deal for the
people. The impression has been put
out that the opposition to Gallinger
for president pro tenn OF the senate Is
merely a personal difference and that
no principle is involved. The big east
ern papers have been filed with infor-
nation on the subject indicating that
it is at least one part of & contest hav-
ing great significance. The corre-
spondent of the Philadelphia North
American, Angus McSween. one OF the
ablest of the Washington correspon-
dents, referred to the matter as follows,
which presents 1t In q different light
from that which has been advertised to
Iowa people:
Special privilege and all its servants
are deeply incensed by the refusal OF
the progressive republicans of the SEN
ate to permit the election OF Senator
Gallinger, New Hampshire, a. the tenn
porary presiding officer OF the body
From the tory members OF both houses
and from their newspaper supporters
there has gone forth the wall that re-
publican control OF the United States
senate has been lost, and that tho pro-
gressives are to blame. In connection
| with these statements the progress1vea
are generally treated as traitors. and -
men who are determined to wreck the
republican organization unless they are
permitted to control It. The absolute
Misrepresentation to which the pro-
gressives are subjected and the pslpable
endeavor Of all special privilege agen-
cies to deceive the public are revealed
py one fact. That Is, If the tories will
suggest the election Of any other man
than Senator Gallinger. the progress
sives will not oppose him. They would
even accept Senator Penrose, who next
to Gallinger is most Objectionable to
progressives generally. Gallinger has
broken faith, has demonstrated that
whatever power might be given him
would be exerted against the interest OF
the public and in favor of special priv
lege, and has shown himself so sodden-
" determined to prevent all progressive
legislation to the very utmost OF his
strength that his election could only be
regarded as an outrage upon the pub
lic."
