Jul, J?.?Death and desolation spread broadcast over V- aV a a__. n mo ovuvuxni cuasues jeswraiy ind last night, through cloudbursts 11 cl UJd overflowing streams. tJ Three score or more lives are the 0| toll while the damage to homes and dl ndustrles cannot be estimated. Fifteen lives ware snuffed out in 01 3uperba mine No. 2 near Uniontown, fii 76 miners narrowly escaped death, L while from many other sections to lome reports of lives lost by the tl mountain torrents rushing into mine t? ilop?s Hundreds of families deserting m bomes in a mad rush for safety on tl the mountain sides sought shelter to beneath improvised shacks and cl tents, toward the construction of a which every available piece of debris is was turned to account. B Many Mines are Flooded Admittedly the death list will not e< be known for many days to come. P A large number of mines were gi flooded in a short space of time, ri Workingmen were compelled to flee ei for their lives. Whether some of all s] of the miners reported missing escaped a watery grave can only be as- fl certained by time. It will take w months to clear some of the mines n of water. n Many sections have not been heard e from today. What has taken place p at those places is not known. b At daybreak shivering women and p children gazeft over a scene of deso- o lation in the upper Yougbiogheny e Valley and aa the waters receded, up- p turned dwellings, shattered buildings & and crumbled piles of mortar were n held in a conglomerate mass by a jrailroad bridge or trestle, or the a progress of the debris had been im- p peded by some larger and stauncher t building. n It was long after midnight before the waters began to recede. Rain had ceased to fall some hours earlier \ but the heavy precipitation soon ' made the usually dry beds of mountain streams veritable cateracts. Annual Floods I>o Very Little Damage Floods In these regions are of an . annual occurrence for which prepara- c Ition is made and comparatively lit- ' tie damage is done; freshets caused . by heavy summer rains occur several times a season, but the heavy water- . falls are carried away with but llttls damage. . The cloudburst of yesterday, however, came before the district had recovered from wore than twenty-four hours of torrential rains on Sunday and with every stream bank full, soon all were out of their banks.

AUSTIN, Texas, July 2?.-tOb the re of the 8tat?-wide primaries at be end of one of the most interest- * ng and bitterly fought campaigns ver conducted In Texas, each of he factions and candidates erpresaf confidence and an unueally heavy ij rote is anticipated tomorrow. Nominees for 8tate offices from governor to constable are to be seected, also a United States senator' . preference vote) and representatlvs in Congress. Tbe voters will be onfronted with the longeet billot a repared for "any election ever hefcfi n this State. In this. Travis county, he Democratic ballot will be more ban five feet long. In Dallas county he ballot will contain a total cf 67 names. In many of the other S ountles the condition Is as bad or t .*e. The unusual size o' the ballots and A J tie consequent likelihood of confuion among the voter* have brought ?mething of a reaction against the resent system of direct prima; les ud there is much talk among potlcal leaders of the advisiability of taking a change In tbe law ?o that le primary shall affect only tbe lief State and county officers, and ist the means of letting names upa the ballot shall be made more ifflcult. An interesting contest for a place a the Democratic State ticket is the ght for attorney-general. Jevel P. ightfoot, who for three yoan has een engaged in "trust busting" in lat office, declined tt> seek another >rm. Re declares that after eight nars nf service ?of the 9ts?e in cew- *.*:? --ij action with the office, he la poorer lan when he entered it, and that s will take up private practice. His lief assistant, James D. Walthall is candidate for the nomination and opposed by B. F. Looney and M. . Harris. The entire State will rote on the ilection of two congresamen-at-large ractlcally all of tbe present delection in the National House of repssentatives expect to be renominatd, though several are meeting with pirlted epposition. The rivalry between the Taft and oosevelt Republicans In Texas, hlch figured so prominently at the ational convention in Chicago last lonth. promises to manifest itself ven more strongly In tomorrow's rimaries. The Roosevelt adherents ave arranged to hold Progressive \ rimaries, and it is probable that few f them will attempt to vote in eithr the Republican or the Democratic rimaries. which will choose delegats to the State conventions to be held ext month. Whether the Progress rea will continue to go it alone or ttempt to capture the regular Reiublican State convention will be deermlned later by the leaders of the lew party movement.
