nersyille, after escaping out of the
flood in Hamilton. He said that the
train crew went into Hamilton Mon
day night and about eleven o'clock
Tuesday morning they found that the
city was going to be flooded so they
took refuge in a church nearby.
Gill says that he saw bodies in the

houses of East Hamilton, and he
thinks that the death list will reach
the thousand mark. On Ludlow street
there was six or seven feet of water
and there was 6 feet of water at the

fering has been terrible and it will be
weeks before the total loss can be es-
