At the Academy.

Presenting some of the most
spectacular scenes ever caught by .
photographer. Lyman H. Howe, who
has done much towards reproducing
many Of the marvels OF natures hands,
work, showed his celebrated pictures
last evening before a large audience IN
the Academy Of Music.
The pictures of the Grand Canyon,
one of the greatest works of nature,
are undoubtedly the best ever repro
duced In Richmond. They demon
strate the perils which are encounter
ed daily by the travellers, and show the
transcendent beauty of the canyon.
Besides the scenes Of the Grand
Canyon, twenty other features were
presented, among them being .
spectacular fire scene in the New York
harbor. which was caused by the ex-
plosion Of large quantity OF oil.
Other thrilling scenes were also pre-
sented. including wonders of sea life,
showing various kinds of FISH and
other deuizens of the deep: an areo-
plane ride over Paris; a motor ride
through the French Alps. and the
rescuing of a number of shipwrecked
people during a terrific gale on the
ocean.
The pictures will be shown again
today, matinee and night.

NOON EXTRA!
The Refugees
Arrive I'm This
City Today

Three hundred men, women and
children, exhausted from a sleepless
vigil of day and two nights, strand
ed in two Pennsylvania passenger
trains between two swollen streams
near Campbellstown, arrived in Rich
mond at six o'clock this morning on
special train. The two trains left Gin
cinnati Monday noon, and were held
up at Campbellstown with a bridge
before and behind them washed out
Farmers nearby came to their res
cue and killed their stock, depleted
their larders, but kept the refugees
from starving.
When the train finally was permit
ted to cross the repaired bridge be-
tween this city and Campbellstown, it
proceeded to this city where the men
women and children spread over the
entire city, trying to secure board and
rooms. Many were almost prostrated
from the shock, exposure and priva-
ton.
The scene at the depot was one beg
CARING description. Women with small
tots in their arms, frantically begged
for rooms and a place to sleep and
rest. They were almost dead from
their sleepless vigil. The deluge of
refugees into Richmond taxed the ca
pacities of the hotels, and private
rooming houses to the limit.
Restaurants near the depot were
crowded by the homeless and fam
ished people. They stated that they
were we'll cared for by the farmers
near Campbellstown, but that there
was not enough food to go around
Hospitable Richmond welcomed the
unfortunates with open arms, and pri-
vate homes in several instances were
thrown open to the refugees.

According to Nimrod Johnson, SUI
perintendent of the City Light plant,
the loss of the Main street dam is the
only thing that could have saved the
municipal plant, the Light, Heat and
Power company plant and the T. Fl. 1.
and E. Traction company plant from
total destruction. Had the dam held an
hour longer than it did it, would have
been necessary to rebuild all of the
plants. Mayor Zimmerman and the
members of the city council are not
in favor of rebuilding the dam and if
it is replaced it will be under private
contract.
