y the recent betivy rains the twin Mel
zingaU reservoirs, situated in the flnit
rango of the Fislifclll Mountains, a mil
cost of Fisbkill, burst at 2 a. m. Wednes
day. The torrent swept through a nar
row ravine, following the course of
Mclzingah Creek, nnt burnt with all Us
fury overa little settlement about Tlmony
brick yards on the banks of the Hudson
Iflver, obout a mile away and
600 feet below the level of the
broken dams. Beven persons were
drowned. The road bed of the New York
Central and Hudson Klvcr Railroad blocked
the debris until the pressure of the water
became too (treat. Then 1700 wt of the
tracks were1 washed awav, blockading
trains. The reservoirs belonged to the
J'ishkill and llatteawan Water Company.
They were old-fasbionod and apparently
carelessly built. The damage Is estimated
at S-100,000.
' The dead are: Mrs. John Conroy, twenty-
nine years old. wire of the engineer o
Timonv's brickyard: body recovered
Julia Conroy, live years old, daughter of
tu engineer. John Conroy, eighteen
month old. Kon of tire engineer, rhilo
' mrtjia De Lucca, six yers old, daughter of
a LorecKO De Lucea, laborer In Tlmony's
briekyard; body recovered. Mrs. Annie
Ferry, eook in P. H. Murphy's boarding
nouse, thirty-live years old; body recovered
Willie Ferr, . about ten years old, son of
Mrs. Annie ierry, body recovered. Joiin
yinlra Iflhorcr fn tlin hrlclrvnrrl married
wire nnd one child: body recovered.
The disaster was almost a counterpart of
. the Johnstown flood, thotiirli. hannllv. on a
much smaller scale. The dams that gave
way were at the head of a long, narrow,
rocky gorge. They were both built cheaply
ana Improperly. The upper dam gave way
before a tremendous volume of water, which
. even flooded the second dam and caused an
alarming rise of water In the villager-Men
bioou bi me loot or, me valley.
As this receded the Inhabitants were
thrown off their uunrd.nnd wlien the second
dam fell out and 12,000,000 gallons of water
came rushing down the defile manv of them
were caught as they fled toward higher
rrouna.
The children who lost their lines Were
drowned. The men and women who per-
."iWieawere llrst stunned by the rocks and
timber borne along by the flood and swept
to neatn.
Just as the Fennsylvanla Railroad bridge
at Johnstown dnmined up the flood and
added to the destruction, so did the high
rmimnKineut OI llie lw none central liall
roftd hold back the wall In the village,
vuui it swmea around, an angry, sullen
pool, until at one time it seemed as though
the refugees Who bail sought safety on the
uign railroad siding in llie nearby brick
yard would be drowned whila they prayed
lor help. Then the railroad embankment
gave way and the flood passed out Into the
Hudson Hiver, leaving two acres where t lie
nouses had been a desolated space, cov
ered with wreckage that entombed seven
Human beings. .
ho, too, does the disaster In Its aftermath
resemble the Johnstown flood. There is
the same utter desolation of families that
have lost their loved ones and all their
Worldly goods. There is the same publlo
reset, tment toward the water company that
Inllamed the public mind against the South
Fork Fishing and (limning Club. The dam
mused the loss of life, and the nubile natur-
aiis iiiuaa to tuu uuui ill trying tu uuu some
one to blame.
I)uP"Uie coincidence between the great
sonnstown nisasier anu tuts smaller one ac
tlmony's does not end. hero. Figuring
In the calamity at Tlmony's were
John. Conroy, the engineer of the
brickyard, ami his family of a wife
and three children. Conroy was one
of the survivors at Johnstown. Ho was
his wife. Hue was rescued from the Johns
town flood, while her relatives perished.
Then Conroy married her, and they moved
Sway from that place of horrid recollec
tions, la this last flood Mrs. Conroy and
two of her children weredrowned, and John
fJbnroy's arm was broken.
There were two reservoirs in the moun
tain, the lower one half a mile distant from
the other. The upper dam gave way, let
ting the volume of water into the lower
reservoir. Thb also burst, and the water
rushed down through a ravine.
The flood was pent up In the narrow Con
ines and gathered resistless force before It
lul led itself upon the plain below, carrying
leuth and destruction in its path. What
Houses there were in its path were picked
p bodily from their foundations and either
luiibed to pieces or whirled along in the
torrents like chilis on an angry sea.
it demolisbed the bnelc works utterly.
ot a vestiire of the extensive buildlmr was
left. It carried away a big bridge across
the roadway and flung ft in pieces Into the
liver. It tore away a nolo In" the railroad
tracks 100 yards wide. It hurled one of the
workmen's big boarding bouses bodily into
the Hudson. '
The people had been awakened by the
Mar of the torrent tattling down the ra
riue.. and realltiug intuitively what it
Jtioaut, rushed from their beds for safety.
I t ' re was no time to lose In dressing or
laving valuables, for the flood was coming
w!th more than a race horse's speed.
Home of them got to the higher ground in
tafety. Many did not. 6ne family, Terry
y name, in their wild flight left their baby
Dehind. Most ot the killed were in tho
Workmen's boarding house.
The immediate eause of the disaster was
!he very heavy rainfall for the twenty
lour hours preceding the breaking of the
lams. The alleged weak condition of
the dams haa been publicly proclaimed
wveral timet, but the officials of the
rater company that owoed them declared
ihat they were quite rtrong. Civil Engineer
lohn Kobertson, (who lives near them and
law them while building, says they were
rery flimsy. Khat is left of them now
moks pitiably wear. There will he an of

A Corporal Killed at Perksklll (Tf. Tj
' Camp While Writing a lAjre letter.
For the first time in the history of tht
New York Militia State Camp at reeksklU
the flag hi flying at half mast for the death
of a man in the camp. Corporal James J.
McDonnell of Coinpatiy A, Twenty-second
Regiment, New York City, was killed by
stroke of lightning, and thls.unprecedented
mark of mourning is In his honor. He was
sitting in the tent of the Y. M. C. A., which
faces the parade ground, shortly after I
o'clock, p. m. There had been a, slight
shower a few minutes before, the sky had
cleared, and although there were clouds
about Dunderberg which Indicated that
another shower might be expert d, the sua
was then shining brightly over the encamp
ment. Corporal McDonnell was seated at a table
which is stretched across the floor of the
tent, writing a hitter. Near him were about
fifteen other men, some seated at the table
writing and others scattered about the for
ward part of the tent. McDonnell was the
second man from the right side of the tent.
Tbesldas were up, and the nearest object
to him outside the tent was an apple tree
about s, 1 feet from his chair.
As the sun broke fully over the encamp
ment and the last traces of the previous
shower disappeared, a loud clap of thun
der was heard. A tree about a hundred
yards from the tent was struck. The light
ning traveled toward the tent, striking
three trees before it settled on the apple
tree near which Corporal McDonnell sat.
Then It tore up the few feet ot ground be
tween the tree and the floor of the tent,
struck a board in tho floor, tearing and
splintering it in a half dozen places as It
traveled aoross the twenty feet of the tent's
floor. There it struck a colored man seat
ed In a chair with such force that he was
thrown several feet.
Every man at the table felt the shock to
onie extent, and it is believed that Cor
poral McDonnell was instantly killed. He
was never conscious after the sound of the
thunder was heard. Even the men seated
farthest from the table felt stunned and
lazed by the shock, and the first of these
to recover himself was Secretary Sheffield,
who Is in charge of the Y. M. C. A. tent.
Me rushed out on to the parade grojind
ind called for help. Home boys plnying
oall ran for tho ambulance, and before It
irrived several physicians were in the tent,
rhe men who had recovered began to work
over their comrades, and by time the am
bulance arrived there were only two or
.hree who had not recovered. But nine in
ill were sent to the hospital, although only
three needed the services of the hospital's
tmbulance. All of the men wore discharged
from the hospital. ,
The dead man was engaged to be mar
ried on Sunday next and he bad just finished
I letter to his' betrothed, who lives in New
fork, when the bolt struck him. He had
ilgned his name, had added, "Yours till
leath, and was adding the words, "Mate
)amp." He had written the first word aud
he first three letters of the second. It was
tfter finishing the letter "m" that bis pen
topped.

COAL TRUST WINS.
'uttlee Chester Bays the Ltio bvi Are
Unconstitutional.
Justice Alden Chester vacated at Albany,1
t. Y., the orders granted by himself last
'une compelling the Presidents of the coal
inrrylng roads to appear before a referee
aid testify as to' an Illegal combination to
estrict the production and Increase the
irice of coal. Justiate Chester decides that
everal provisions of the Leiow "anti trust
aws are unconstitutional.
He holds that the clause directing Judeea
f the Supreme Court to aid the Attorney-
eneral In extracting testimony from wlt
lesses to be used in prosecuting the trusts
aaeeda legislat've authority in that it en
arges the jurisdiction of the Judges and
lonfoumfs two distinct departments of the
government the executive and judicial.
The promise of immunity to witnesses
'usttoe Chester pronounces worthless in,
act and unconstitutional, as it supplants
he elemental principal of law that a wit-
eannot be compelled to testify against
tlmself. i
An appeal will be taken at once by the'
Utorney-General from the decision by the
ippellate Division of the Supreme Court.

toout and millionaire mine owner, from
e-horu tho town of Creede, Col., took lta
name. Creede, according to the report,
killed himself with morphine at his home
In Los Angeles, Cal. The reason for the
ict is said to be trouble with his wife.
They separated last winter without legal
process, Mrs. Oreode accepting 20,000 and
! i.. t,l1Bi,.nil'i homo Khe returned
ft few weeks ago, It Is said, and Insisted up-
Da a reconciliation. This is declared to
have worried Creade ao much that he de- j
termlned to commit suicide. He was found ,
dying by his servants in his garden, having .
taken a'large quantity of morphine. I
Creede was born In Indiana in IMS, and(
was taken by bis parents to Iowa when he
was a ohlld. He went Into the Government
ervloe as an attache of the Quartermaster
Department when he was twenty years old,
and soon afterward became a Government
scout.
He was a daring scout and had many
stirring adventures in the Indian wars,
belnn uromotnd to the rank of First Lieu
tenant In the reiriilar army. He turned
prospector wnen mere was uo more ugut
Ing to do and worked for eight years in
the Black Hills hunting for gold before he
made a strike.
Then he found the Bonanza mine, whloh
yielded rich returns In a short time. It was
In silver, however, that Creede made his
fortune. While prospecting in Colorado
he struck the Holy Moses mine, whloh,
with other silver mines, rapidly made him
a many times a millionaire.

Jtrr.Y 10th. The confer es on tha

enough to attend the funeral ceremon
ies conducted over the remains of the
late Senator Harris, but resolved before
dispersing for this purpose to reassem
ble immediately after the oonolusion of
the obsequies, and to continue their
work not only tonight, but all day.
The decision to sit on Sunday was not
reached without some hesitation, but
was decided upon aa neoessary to ex
pedite the reporting of the bill.
Jciil 12th. A discussion ot the
Union Pacific aflairs occupied the at
tention of the .Senate. Kenator Mor
gan, of Alabama, introduced an amend
ment designed to prevent the consum
mation of an agreement made sdme
time Bince for the settlement of the
government's claim against the road,
and be thinks the United Slates is in
danger of losing $10,000,000 in tbe set
tlement, and spoke for throe hours
upon the subject Thurston briefly
controverted the points of Morgan's
argument, and Hale, in charge of the
bill, claimed that bis amendment was
new legislation, and he withdrew his
amendment, thus disposing of the en
tire subjeot. A resolution by Butler,
of North Carolina, was agreed to,
directing the Secretary of State to se
cure from diplomatic representatives
abroad full information as to the oper
ation of postal telegraphs, telephones
and postal savings banks. Tbe defi
ciency appropriation bill was taken up,
but was not completed.
July 13th. In the Senate an amend
ment to the deficiency appropriation
bill was agreed to, restricting the price
of armor plate to 1800 per ton, or 8125
less than the amendment reported by
the committee and recommended by
the Navy department, as the minimum
rate acceptable to the armor oo'-tract-ors.
Another amendment inserted in
the bill directs the Secretary of the
Nayy to irvestigata as to the establish
ment of a Government armor factory,
and to report to the next session of
Congress. This was' Senator Butler's
amendment, of North Carolina. Other
amendments to the bill were made as
follows: For improvement of Cum
berland Sound, Florida, $50,000; tc
pay balance of 814,485 to claimants
under (Spanish-American 'claims com
mission. The deficiency appropriation
bill was then passed.
JriiY 14th. The Senate was in a
deadlock over the question of taking up
the resolution directing the President
to suspend the agreement to sell the
fovernmeqt's interest in the Union
'aoifio railroad. The vote showed a
majority of two to one in favor of tak
ing up the resolution, but there was no
quorum present. The absent Senators
were out of the city.. A parliamentary
device opened the subject to debate,
which continued throughout the day.
Morgan and Harris speaking for, and
Thurston aud Ueor against the rosolu.
tion. It finally went over. '
Jitly 15th. The Senate spent the
day in discussion on the Union Pa
cific matter, and the Harris resolution
relating to the pending judicial , pro
ceedings against the road went over.
The joint resolution was 'passed, ac
cepting the invitation of France to par
ticipate in the Paris Exposition of 1'JOO.
The effort of the Senate to dispose of
some of the nominations on the calen
dar, which it was agreed to on the 14th,
which should have been made, proved
fruitless, and they went into executive
session.

Interesting Information regarding For
mosa from the Rev. John L. Denrlng:
Among other Improvements proposed
are those with referenr? to the condi
tion of the cities. Chinese cities are
proverbial for their oncleanllness.
Within a few weeks the government
has had the condition of most of tt- .
larger towns examined foreign and
native experts with reference to pro
viding a water supply and sewerage
system, and the report bos been most
favorable, ard It Is likely that at once
steps are to be taken to make tbe con
ditions, more healthful and cleanly. In
one case they propose nothing less
than to build a new city of Taiwan In
South Formosa. The new city has
been properly laid out and water sup
ply and drainage arranged for, and
now It Is Intended that tho old city,
with its crumbling mud walls, Its filth
and abominations, shall be left If
Japan succeeds In removing frord her
Chinese cities In Formosa those fea
tures which are a disgrace to every
city cf China, Tekln and Tlen-tsin not
excepted, she will deserve praise. - An
Interesting problem Is at least on her
hands.

Nothing could be fairer, more phi
lanthropio or carry more joy to tbe af
flioted, than the offer of 'X. A. Slooum,
M. O., of New York City.

bronchial, throat and lung diseases,
general decline and weakness, loss of
flesh and all conditions of wasting, aud
to make it great meiits known, he will
send free, three bottles to any reader
of the Elkin Times who may be suf
fering.
Already this "new scientific course
of medicine" has permanently cured
thousands of apparently hopeless cases.
The Doctor considers it his religious
duty a duty which he owes to human
ity to donate his infallible cure.
He has proved the dreaded con
snmptiono be a ourable disease be
yond any ubt, and has on file in his
American and European laboratories
testimonials of experience from those
benefited and cured in all parts of the
world.
Don't delay until it is too lato. Con
sumption, uninterrupted, means speedy
and certain death. Address T. A. Slo
cum, M. C, 98 Pine street, New York,
and when writing the Doctor, g;ve ex
press and postoflioe address, and please
mention reading this artiole in the
Elkin Times.
Sincerity.
My soul, art thou sincere? 1 do not
ask If thou art consistent. I have seen
the sun upou the mountains while the
valleys were still In shade, but I did not
call the valleys Insincere. I have heard
music on the waters when the land was
in silence, yet I did not, therefore, say
that the land was untrue. I have seen
the primrose lift Its head when there
was no flower to greet It, yet I did not
6n that account dwin It a hypocrite. Hut
Is It a painted primrose, an artlilclal
primrose? loan reverence any flower of
the heart, however lowly. I can rever
ence the first bud of Its spring, for It
tells of the Christ that Is to le. I csn
reverence the last rose of its summer,
for It tells of the Christ that has beeen
here, and therefore is not fnr away.
Bui. I cannot reverence the manufac
tured flower, the paper flower, the
wsxen flower. I cannot reverence the
imitation of the structure when the
spirit Is not there. The time for'figs
may not be yet, and there Is no blame.
But do not rilnt the fruit before the
time. Do not deceive the thirsty travel
ler by a dream. Do not pretend that
thou hast to-day" what walls till to
morrow. Io not seek to sblne with
more light than Is In thee. Thy light
may be only a dawn, but God's dawn Is
better than man's gilding. Be true to
thyself, O my soul Iiev. Dr. George
Matheeon.
