FALL
 INTO VALLEY

The heavy rainfall during the pas' three days has caused a great mauy rcck and earth slides along the east side of the 'Skagway val ley, and yesterday one of unusual magnitude, was almost the cause of the destruction of the native vil- lage which is situated alongside of tho bluff railway tracks about even with the approach to the wharf.
 It Was only owing to the bench which Is immediately above the village that the natives were saved from a tota! destruction of ! their homes. Huge rocks, some of which weighed hundreds of tons vera washed loose from their fast necs in fhe mountainside, and came crashing down the steeP decline, but tha small plateau just above the site of the village acted as an abutment, and the rocks and gravel lodged there.
 Several other slides along the east 7idge have 'been reported, but no serious damage was dine.

MARLIN, Texas. March 15.-Under

the Giants Of John McGraw are
pounding down the stretch Of their

that old ball and swatting its nose
with enthusiasm worthy OF a better

averages and umpires and other mid

barring a few periods Of alteration,
has been a right reasonable sort or
cuss to the Giants. and as a result
there has been day after day Of sum-
mer weather through which the NC
Graw clan pushed itself into form. Nc
Graw has ten pitchers on the ground,
including Christy Mathewson, Jen
Tesreau and Polly Perritt OF last
years hurllng force, and Anderson
the Federal League star, whose snow
ing in training has been one OF tne
most encouraging features OF the
camp season. Then there are Benton
Schauer, Schupp. Stroud, Palmera' the
Cuban, and Kramer, who look mighty
good to the Crown Prince OF Mister
Coogans precipice. -
IF McGraw's pitchers live up 20 his
exnectations the season will cause
him comparatively little worry. The
rest of the team is big enough to be a
certain quantity. Behind the bat NC
craw has Rariden and Doom to anchor
