Japan Builds Own warshIps.

The construction of three big bat
tleships, each of $4,000 tons, which
has just been started in Japan-one at
Yokosuka to be named the Hiyei, one
at the Kawasak yard to be named
the Harima, and one at the Mitsu
Bishi yard to be named the Kirishima
has aroused a great deal of atten-
ton among the naval authorities of
foreign powers. The fourteen-inch
guns to be mounted on these new
battleships are also to be manufac-
tured in Japan, fact which is said
TO have awakened a still greater
amount of attention. The guns are
to be made at the Japan Steel foun-
dry's works at Muroran, the breech
blocks and other important parts be-
Eng made at the Kure naval arsenal.
The proportion of homemade and for
eign material used in building war
ships in Japan is getting more and
more in favor of homemade mate
-ials.

Government Issues Warning to City
Of 10000 inhabitants Telling
People to Flee.

Guadalajara, Mexico, Aug. 31.-This
city, the second largest in the repub-
lie. having population OF 10000
people, has received warning that it
will be destroyed by the eruption of
volcano over which the city rests.
The warning Is given in all serious.
ness by the government through the
seismograph tranch of the national
observatory at Mexico City.
Seven scientists, who spent the lat
ter part of July and the first week in
August here, have issued report
following the $40 earthquakes which
have shaken Ciuadalajara in the past
three months that the town is built
on the crater of a sluInbering vol
cano.
increasing temperatures, sulphurous
fumes escaping from assures torn in
the city streets by the quakes and
the bursting out of several hot springs
led to the investigation which showed
that 300 feet beneath the surface of
the earth there is a seething crater,
whose last eruption was about 1000
years ago.
The men from the observatory can
not state when the eruption will take
place, but they believe it will be with
in year. Their report urges that
the city be vacated, and they suggest
move to Juanacatlan, town about
forty miles from here on the banks
of the Santiago river.
Government papers have been re-
moved from the palace to Mexico City
for safety ard mass meeting will
be held here the fist Sunday in Sep
TENDER to decide whether the city
shall heed the warning and move or
wait and see what happens.

RAIN FALLS FOR FIVE H0URs

big Cioudburst Sweeps Down
Valley Carrying Death and De
struction in Its Wake.

Pittsburg, Pa, Sept 1.-The worst
storm of rain that ever devastated
western Pennsylvania, eastern Ohio
and parts of the Panhandle district
of West Virginia occurred Monday. A
vivid lightning display preceded 1t for
more than an hour, and seemed s.s
If it would rend the heavens. For
nearly five hours the rain fell in tor
rents. Cloudbursts filed fertile val
leys with raging rivers that annihila-
ted crops and carried away bridges
and railroad tracks. Lightning struck
in scores of places. Quiet streams rose
in an hour to become grin agents OF
destruction. Railroad traffic practical
ly stopped and wire traffic is paralyzad
throughout most of the region.
When reports from all points were
compared, 80 are known to be dead.
This list of fatalities will probably be
much larger, for in many remote haIn-
lets in the wide area scourged by the
flood there will be no communication
for days. Golfers, w. Va, is practical
ly wiped out. Cherry Valley, w. Va,
is in ruins The towns of Avella, Can
onsburg, Washington, Burgettstown
and a dozen smaller places in the ex-
IRENE western end of Pennsylvania
are inundated. At New Philadelphia,
Steubenville and other Ohio towns,
near the Ohio river, the damage
wrought was heavy.
The Panhandle division of the
Pennsylvania railroad ceased train op-
erations. Fourteen miles of track were
washed away near Golfers. Three
bridges were carried down stream.
For miles along Racoon creek the
roadbed is submerged. 1t will be a
fortnight before traffic can be re-
sumed here.
A freight train on the Wabash
jumped the track five miles north of
Wellsburg, W. Va, and the entire
train rolled into Cross Greek. There
are no authentic reports as to what
became of the train crew.
Washington county alone reports
property damage that will exceed S.
000, 1000. Thousands of sheep and cat
tie were drowned in the fields. Wash
ington is the greatest wool growing
community east of the Mississippi
river. The streams throughout this
county and in Greene county are
clogged with the bodies of dead sheep
Hundreds of the animals, not yet
sheared, were soaked with rain, and,
being too heavy for their own legs,
were swept into the raging streams.
The Monongahela and Allegheny
rivers are near the food stage, and
consequently the Ohio Is OVERLOOKING
its banks at many points west Of
Pittsburg Millions of bushels of coal
went out of the Pittsburg harbor,
headed for the lower Mississippi.
Reports from points in the flooded
district give the deaths as follows:
Cherry Valley, Pa, six drowned; Col

town, Pa, one drowned; Aveila, Pa,
three drowned; Canonsburg, Pa, four
drowned; Pittsburg, one killed by

Who Lost Lives Were Members of

Green Bay, Sept. 3.-Five mem
bers of the train crew and one pas
senger were killed at $3.50 o'clock
Sunday morning when Chicago and
Ashland limited train No. 112, south
bound, of the Chicago & Northwest
ern road was wrecked at a washout
two miles north of Lyndhurst, which
is fifty miles northwest of this city.
Twenty-six members of the crew
and passengers were injured, seven
of them seriously, and more than
100 passengers were severely shak-
en- up.
The dead are

Calkins, w. F., passenger, Shaw
ano.
Heroic work by passengers and
surviving members of the train crew
under great difficulties saved many
lives, and a heavy downpour of rain
prevented the wreckage from being
consumed by fire. Relief and wreck
ing trains were sent from Green Bay
and Amigo and the dead and in
jured were removed to hispitals in
Green Bay.
The train consisted of a smoker,
mail car, baggage car, three Pullman
sleepers and day coaches and was
miles an hour when it struck wash
out, caused by a cloudburst, which
had carried away considerable sec
tion of the track.
The engine was thrown on it's side
IS it plowed with terrific force
through the roadbed. The baggage
car next was telescoped, pinioning
four of those killed under the de-
bris The mail and a smoking car
tipped over. Although the other
cars We're derailed, they remained
upright.
Among the injured are members
of the Wausau baseball club of the
Wisconsin-Illin league, who were
enroute to Green Bay. A number of
them were severely injured.
Those who escaped uninjured
quickly recovered from the shock
and turmoil and worked heroically
to rescue trainmen who were pin
toned under the wreckage. The
bodies of the conductor, expressman,
baggageman and brakeman were
found under debris of the baggage
car. They had been killed instantly.
Alex. Schools, mail clerk, was alive
when aid reached him and for five
hours he was held under the wreck
age while the rescuers struggled to
release him. He was badly crushed,
but may survive his injuries.
The scene of the wreck is in an
isolated spot and in thickly wooded
section. Before news of the wreck
could be communicated to Green
Bay, it was necessary for Herbert
Huelsbeck, news agent, to run to the
nearest depot, a mile and a half dis
tant, and wire for relief trains upon
order of w. d. Cantillion, general
manager of the Northwestern road,
whose special car was attached to the
