A dispatch from Bluefield, V, Vn.,
Bays: This entire section hns just been
visited by a flood, the extent of which,
In ull prolmbility, will equal or exceed
that of Johnstown In 188", so fur as the
loss of property is concerned.
Early Saturday morning, shortly af
ter midnight, a heavy downpour of
rain began, accompanied by u severe
electric storm, which violently in
creased in volume and continued
throughout the entire day and night.
At 10 a. m., while the storm had abat
ed, the lowering clouds would indicate
another terrific downpour at any mo
ment. Many miles of the Norfolk &
Western track, bridges and telegraph
lines are entirely destroyed and com
munication is entirely cut off west of
Elkhorn, 60 that it is impossible to
learn the full extent of the loss of life
and property, but officials of the coal
fields, located in the stricken district,
have sent out messengers to Elkhorn,
Che end of both telegraphic and rail
road communication, and messages
have been received that an estimate as
to loss of life will reach 200. Some of
the drowned are among the most prom
nent men of the coal Holds.
The Pocahontas coal Held is located
in a basin, with high mountain ranges
on each side, Elkhorn creek, flowing
through the center of the basin which
ranges from one-fourth to one mile In
width. From Ennis, W. Va., to Viv
ian yard. W. Va., a distance of ten
miles, miners cabins, coal company
commissary and coke plants line this
basin. Elkhorn creek, baing fed by nu
merous small streams coming from the
mountain sides, rose very rapidly, and
this water spout came so sudden that
the entire basin between the two
mountain ranges was flooded, and be
fore the terror-stricken people realized
what was upon them, they were car
ried down by the flood, which swept
everything in its path.
The little town of Keystone, with a
population of 2,200, seemsthc greatest
sufferer, practically the en-tire town
being washed away. This town is the
principal one in the Poneahontns coal
flelds, and is located near its center.
It was to a great extent headquarters
from which tho mining population
purchased supplies.
A great number of the coal and coke
plants throughout the Pocahontas are
uesertcd and are in some Instances en
tirely washed away. Owing to the
very high water which has flooded the
region and prevented communication,
anything like a correct estimate of
the loss of property is impossible, but
from the best information obtainable
tho loss of property will easily reach
92,000,000.
CUBANS WELL SATISFIED.
Secretury Root Receive Report From
Clenernl Wood.
Secretary Root received a report from
Governor General Wood concerning af
fairs in Cuba, in which tho governor
general says the action of the constitu
tional convention in accepting the
Piatt amendment, as passed by con
gress, is received with general satis
faction throughout tho Island. Tho
great difficulty which Is now contend
ed with in Cuba is that relating to com
mercial affairs and the necessity of bet
ter markets for Cuban products without
tariff restrictions in the United States,
nothing can be done, however, until a
Cuban government is formed, when a
reciprocity arrangement may be mado,
and this will require ratification of the
senate.
An order by General Wood relating
to debts and mortgages it is understood
will tide over tho difficulties which
were feared a short time ugo. ,
Accused of Sttmlluff Cattle.
Samuel Garven was .the other day
arrested at Hillings, Mont., by tho fed
eral authorities charged with complic
ity in stealing $18,000 worth of cattle
'from tho Creek Indians, on which
charge Robert Lee is now being tried,
the alleged stolon cattle were found, it
is said, on Garven's ranch. A year ago
Garven was one of the most prosperous
citizens of Billings.
Return Three Indictment!.
Tho granU jury of Codoc county,Call
lornia, which has been investigating
the lynching on May 30 of Calvin Hall,
his three sons and Daniel Yantls for
alleged thefts, has returned throo in
dlctments'for murdur. Robert Leveu

MURDER AT NORTH BEND.
Tramp Fatally Stabt One Comrade and
SerlotMly Wound Another.
Joseph Dusscldorf , a tramp, is in jail
at Fremont, Neb., and will have to an
swer to the charge of murder. At
North Bond he stabbed a fellow tramp,
named Durltln, In the neck, and thrice
Rtabbed another whose name was not
learned once In the left breast, once
on the temple, and once on tho
tho leftarm. Lhirklnand the unknown
were asleep In a box car when tho as
sault was made.
After making the assault Dusscldorf
tried to escape, but was captured by a
couple of local citizens who were at
tracted to the pluco by Durkln's cries
for help. Sheriff Krcadcr was sent for
and came up from Fremont. Ho re
turned, taking with him the two men
who were able to be removed. Tho
third one was left at North Bend and
died from his wounds. No cause Is
known for the affair, outside of rumors
which arc heard to the effect that tho
three men had had a quarrel earlier in
the day and that Dusscldorf did tho
cutting out of revenge for bad treat
ment received from the other two men.
As none of the tramps profess to know
each other, however, there may bo
nothing In this story. Dusscldorf ad
mits having been drunk and the most
plausible supposition is that his intox
icated condition put his mind into such
a frenzy that he did not know what he
wab doing.

and his companions made futile efforts
to rescue him.

FOREIGN CROP CONDITIONS
Wheat I'roiprrt Good and Had Accord
lug; to Location.
Tho Mark Lane, London, Express, in
Its crop report, noting tho necessity
for rain in the United Kingdom, says:
The wheat has come into ear on re
markably short stemsnnd the enrs will
not fill' without more moisture.
In Vrnnee tho bpring crop Is less
promising.
Wheat cutting has begun in south
ern Spain. The provinces of Anda
lusia and Murcin expect fine yields and
the promise in central and' northern
Spain is excellent.
The wheat crop in central Europe is
very promising on the confines of the
Adriatic and very bad indeed on the
confines of the Baltic, indicating that
Croatia and Hungary will have a good
crop while Prussia nnd Prussia Poland
will have a bcrious deficiency.
Mediocre results may be expected in
Bavaria nnd Austria.

STATE WILL BUILD
Contracts for Material and Will
Use Convict Labor.
IMPOSSIBLE TO SECURE BIDS ON JOB
Contractor Nhy About I'rcarntliigFlgnre
and 110 Other Renource Left the
Ilonrd Hut to Contract For Mater
ial Other New and Item.
Falling h) secure bids on tho con
struction of an administration build
ing at tho penitentiary ttie board of
public lauds and buildings lias decided
to buy material and erect tho building
with tho aid of convict labor Con
tracts for building material were
awarded at ft recent meeting of the
board. It Is believed by tho board that
the structure can bo erected with tho
funds available.
Tho legislature appropriated only
875,000 for the building and tho pur
chase of now colls, both of which were
rendered necessary on account of it tiro
which destroyed tho west cell house
and tin old administration building.
Sixty cells have been bought by the
board at a cost of 818,000, leaving 857,
000 available for a building. '
After the material Is delivered on
the ground the work of placing It into
the building will bo done chiefly by
convict labor under tho direction of a
superintendent. R. W. Grant of Beat
rice, tho architect whose plans have
been adopted, has been authorized by
the board to select a superintendent.
The stone, metal and fire proofing is
to be placed in position by contractors
who agree to uso convict labor. Two
contractors are to pay not less than
50 cents a day, and one is to pay not
less that 12,'f cents per hour for the
labor of convicts.
The contract for stone was let to tho
Johnson Stone company at 811,250, the
base work at 10 cents a foot, convict
labor to be paid for at a rate not less
than 50 cents a day. In tho light of
past experiences with stone for cell
houses, the board will endeavor to
avoid a controversy over two-man ru
ble, one-man ruble, stone plugged to
size or stone plugged any other way.
Paxton and Vlerling are to furnish
tho metal for 80,350 and to pay 12
cents an hour for convict labor.
The Are proofing is to be furnished
by the Pioneer Fire Proofing company
for $0,050 and 00 cents a day Is to be
paid for convict labor.
Theodore Knar of Lincoln is to furn
ish sand delivered at the penitentiary
for 07 cents a yard.
The cost of the stone, iron and Arc
proofing according to the bids is 27,
740, not counting the cost of tho saud
nnd tho base work at 10 cents a foot.
By utilizing convict labor the board
hopes to serve n double purpose, that
of saving money for the state and fur
nishing employment for idle convicts.
