Erie, Pa, Aug. 4.-Twenty-fve lives
lost as estimated by the police mil
lions of dollars in property damage
and the city in total darkness are the
results Of a cloudburst shortly after 6
O'Clock Tuesday night that eliminated
in a flood inundating a large section
The heavy precipitation caused
dams south OF the city to burst, flood
ing the main business streets to a
depth of five feet and in some Sec
tions reaching to the second-story
windows of dwellings.
Among the first plants to go out Of
commission was the Erie County Elec-
trio Company which supplied the city
with lights. Then the Erie Dispatch,
a morning paper whose building ad-
joins the electric light plant, was
flooded, and all idea OF getting out a
morning paper was abandoned until
midnight, when the staff was moved
to the plant of the Erie Times.
In the meantime the first bulletin Of
the flood was sent to the outside
world by the Associated Press oper-
ator. who waded in water up to his
armpits to the Western Union tele-
graph office. distance of five blocks.
1t was several hours before crippled
telegraph and telephone communica-
tion could be partially restored.
At Ninth street in the center OF the
city half a dozen houses were washed
away and piled up in the path of the
waters. Scores of people were buried
under the debris at that point.
Wreckage was piled seventy feet
high in the very heart of the city and
at midnight the water had receded
somewhat, but the estimate of twen-
ty-five dead was still maintained.
1t was estimated at midnight that
1000 persons were homeless. Tele-
phone service was so crippled that the
work of relieving the distressed and
rescue was seriously impeded.

TIGERS KILLED FROM CAGE
Method in Use in Persia Uniformly
Successful, With Little Danger
to the Hunter.

The people of different countries
have different ways Of hunting the
tiger. Traps, pitfalls, spring guns
and nets are called into play. The
Chinese are said to employ the mir
ror to lead the animal into a trap.
The tigers curiosity is excited when
he sees his image in the glass, and
be Immediately proceeds to investi-
gate the mystery. The Persian man
iner of conducting the hunt is more
sportsmanlike.
A spherical, strongly woven bam-
boo cage, with intervals of few
inches between the bars, is erected in
some spot near the haunts Of the
tiger. This cage is firmly and Sc
eurely picketed to the ground. In
side, a man provided with several
sharp and powerful stabbing spears,
or with a keen and pointed sword,
takes his post at night, with dog or
goat as his companion. There he
wraps himself in his blanket and
goes to sleep.
In due time the tiger makes his
appearance, the man is walked by his
four-footed companion, and, after
yainly snufing and prowling round
the cage to find an entrance, the
tiger rears against the walls. The
man instantly takes advantage Of the
brute's unprotected position, and
with a resolute stroke of the spear
Or sword puts him to death.

SAVED BY A SHELL.

The captain, commander, torpedo
lieutenant and another officer of the
Butcher only escaped going down
with their ship by most extraordi-
nary coincidence.
They were in the armored coming
tower when the vessel began to heel
over from the effects of the British
fire. They were preparing to leave
it, as she was manifestly sinking,
when she'll struck it with such force
that the door jammed and could not
be opened.
They resigned themselves 10
death, and, making a virtue of neces-
sity, were preparing to go down with
the ship, when a second shell struck
the coming tower and blew the top
clean off. Thus a way was opened
for them to escape, thanks to- their
enemy, of which they availed them
selves.
In the long list Of semimiraculous
occurrences it would surely be hard
to find one to beat this.

She came. She came in radiance

declined We thought she would, but,
then, we wanted to show her right
