Terrific. Rains in West Virginia,
Pennsylvania and Ohio.
TH|RTx-SIx PERSONS PERISH
Floods Wash Out Railway Tracks,
Sweep Away Bridges and Under
mine Buildings.

Pittsburg, Sept. AS a result of
terrific rains throughout West Vir-
ginia, Western Pennsylvania and East
ern Ohio t~hirty-six are dead and scores
missing.
At all points the storm is over
People in the various towns are at
tempting to take care of conditions
caused by the flood, but are making
little progress. Help is on the way
n has arrived at some points, but
the actual extent of the disaster can
not be estimated.
From meager reports it is believed
the monetary damage will reach close
to $780, 900.
After a twenty-four hour period of
excessively hot weather the storm
broke. In addition to an extraordi-
nary rainfall the electrical features
were most spectacular. The steady
rain caused every stream to leave it's
banks. Within a short time the water
had washed away railroad tracks in
many places and sent tons of earth
from surrounding hills, making all
thoroughfares in the flood zone i'm
passable.
Latest reports from the various dis
tricts give the following table of fatal
tiles:
Over Thirty Known to Be Dead.
Golfers, w. Va, eighteen dead.
Cherry Valley, Pa, six drowned.
Burgettstown, Pa, four drowned.
Avella, Pa, three drowned.
C%anonsburg, Pa, three drowned.
Woodlawn, Pa, one dead.
Nearby suburbs suffered severely,
cellars being flooded, street cars Grip
pied and wire service Frustrated. In
a number of Western Pennsylvania
points people became panic stricken.
At Ford City, Pa, a dozen houses
Lightning struck a score of houses,
while McGrahn, a suburb, is under
from three to five feet of water.
At Golfers, w. Va, a cloudburst
devastated the valley in which the
town is situated, Harmons creek over
flowing its banks. The entire valley
was deluged by the water, houses
swept from foundations, railroad
tracks torn up for long stretches and
roads were eradicated by landslides.
Debris foated down the creek, pill
ing high at Holidays Cove, and a
score of houses were washed away by
the gorge.
At Washington, Pa, the storm was
especially severe. All through that
part of the state manufacturing plants
were put out of commission and many
homes were wrecked.

Te|egraphy For Ladies.

That the telegraph service offers
an attractive and renumerative
field for women as well as men is
simply sho wn by the fact that
their number is all the time in
ereasing.
The number of women who earn
livelihood in the telegraph ser
vice in this country is now fully
forty five thousand.
Telegraphy is not only a con-
genial occupation for women, but
is one which fits them and for
which they are peculiarly adapted.
Their opportunities in this pro-
fession are as in all other walks of
life, precisely what they choose to
make them. and there is no more
profitable or pleasant occupation
in which they can engage
The only objection to her from
the Arrangements point of view is,
q prominent official once stated to
me, that after acquiring expert
ence and reaching go ID position
she gets married in nine cases out
OF ten.
Some of the most important cir
cults in the Western Union ser.
vice are h andled by women, who
are paid precisely the same salari-
es as are paid to men.
l have qualified a number Of
young ladies, who are earning
good salaries at the key and I
should be glad to have any who
wish to take up this work join the
class that is now forming.
There will be, as in the past
positions waiting for all who quail
