Terrible Dam Disaster

The following account of a terrible | disaster doea not aeem to have been cabled to the oolonips :— New York, June 24 Batween two and five hvindred people are reported to havo been !oat in the terrible flood which devastated the West Virginia coal mining region yef- Itrday. According to the latest reports, it appear* that a terrific rainstorm cona peoosii early on Saturday, and con tinaed ail day, culminating in an awful cloudburst, which swelled the ttreams and rivers and flooded the surrounding diatriofe, where th« flood did its worst damage, ia sifua fed In a long narrow valley, bordered on either side by the towering AUeghany MotraUitie,' 1 while the likhorn River fiowa through the middlet Innunaor able small streams flow down the jmaajatain sides. to the river. "When It!ie ; downpour , oame the river and tribotariea overfbwed, letting loose a roaring torrent which ewepfc everything before it. In the centre of the Elk horn Valley stood Keystone, a mining; towjo, with a population of 2000 Hundreds of miners were in the town, with their families, doing their weekly shopping* The flood poured into the town shortly after midnight, and large num* bera ol people succeeded in fighting ..their way through the water and reaching the monntain side. The houses were mostly frail, wooden struc tures, which were swept away like (corks, Rafts were hastily constructed by some and whole families were float ing along in them ; othera eat on the roofs of cabins cr clung to logs until exhausted or rescued,

Fifteen whisky saloons, filled with drunken men were overwhelmed, and meet of the occupants drowned. In the darkness the shrieking of the vic tims and the roiring of the waters made an appalling sconp. The Bar vivors on Send ay morning witnessed a terrible spectacle. The Elkhom River Was completely filled and the valley coverod with debris, horses, farms, the bodies of men and women and animals, here and there, with living persons perched on the wreckage shouting for help. Two handred people are reported to be drowned in Keystone alone. Only one hoose there has remained standing' Seven counties of Virginia and West Virginia suffered from the storm, which devastated a district extending for a distanse of a hundred miles. Fourteen villages in the path of the Blkhora failey fLod were partly de stroyed. At Vivian the extensive railway yards wera completely de molished. In one village 35 houses were jammed together into one massi Pestilence is threatened from the dead bodies and decaying debris strewn along the rifer banks, Thirty bodies were found in one heap yesterday. The dead are beiog Sburied as quickly as possible is rode boxes hastily knocked together. The loss of life is chiefly coofiaed to miners and their families. Many thrilling stories of hair breadth escepa* are being received. A train on the Norfolk and Western Railway wag overtaken by the flood, The passengers were panic-striken and the mea e»«icd the women through the wa*er &° *'ie hill sides.

Ropes were tied aboatjjthe waists ot others, who were hanled to places of safety jast before the train wag snb mergecl. The flood came so suddenly that many families were separated and cinldren lost. Still greater loss of life was averted by the. fact that many people became alarmed and fled to the hills before the florod occurred. Scenes of horror and desolation are reported throughout the flooded district, The railway lines in "many-"places, are twisted into a landred different shapes bnge trees are uprooted, and telegraph poles smashed into chips A despatch from Wheeling (West Va.) states that, according to advices received there, thirty small towns and villftgei have been washed away and at least 200 miles of railway rendered impassable-

Accounts are most corflicting as to the losß of life* The Governor of West Virginia feara that the persons who have perished nnmber 1000, while on the other hand, a telegram from Blaefield says it is now positively known that the reports of hundreds of lives having been lost are exaggerated j although the number of fatalities ia at least seventy five—Renter,

The Spread of "Christian Science."

The people who eill themselves ' Chris t!an Scientist?,' believers in the teachings of Mrs Eddy (cays F. Wayland-Smlth), are now attracting mnch notice, favourable and otherwise. They have been denoan' ced by prominent clergymen, who think that Mre Eddy is a false prophet who is Dervertimg the Scriptures. Whereas her followers in great numbers practically defy her, gome of them even using a cap 1 ital H In referring to ' Her.' Mrs Eidy claims for herself thab she haa been specially selected ly God, and prepared through years of special training, to wo k©nfc the * Stupendous Life Prob lem 'and present the results to th> world. Here is her own statement of the fotindatioDs of the science.

81 The fandamental propositions of Chrfctfan Science are summarised In the foor foUowin^, to me self evident, pro positions. Even if read backwards, these propositions wil] ba found to agree in statement and proof.—-

"I.God Is Allln all. " 2 God is good. Good k Mind* " 3. God, Spirit, being all, notbiag is rxta&ter.

OT IMPOETANT TO LADIES. ' DEAR Sir, — For the last twelve months I have been completely run down, suffering* from Nervous Debility, Extreme Weakness, and other ailments incidental to my sex. My condition whs such I was quite unable to ggfe about, or to do anything at all. When I heard of the great benefit other sufferers had i derived from the use of Plantekoa. I j procured a bottle, using ft aa directed, and I the result was »s gratifying as it was astonishihg. I became quite well again, and able to get; about as uauaU I have much pleasure in sending you these few j i lines, make what you like of them. Yours tru'y, Mrs J. Row. P.S.—I can also recommend Plantekoa as a good medicine for thg blood and strengthening the system



Kaiwarra, February 21ab 1901 ! Dear Sir,—Several months ago I had a very severe attack of inflaenzi, which left me very much run down, and hardly able to stand, or evee use my hands. My wrists and atikles were much swollen, and very painful Several things I tried without) effect. A friend advised me to give Piantekca a trial, which I did, and I sm happy to say before I had finished the second bottle I was thoroughlycured, and I mpy say I have felt no return whatever. I should like, alao, to say a word for Plantekoa Ointment. My husband for a long time had badly cracked hands, (owing largely, no doubt, to the nature of his work), which defied all efforts at heal ing ; but when we once tried Plantekoa Ointment, the effect was wonderfnl. For chapped or cracked hands, cats, etc, it is the very best and safest remedy, and is one of those thing jro home Is complete without. Yours sincerely, Mes Wainright
