ROANOKE, Va., June 23 Between*! 500 and 60(1 lives have been lost and millions of dollars'worth of property; destroyed by a frightful Hood and j cloudburst that swept over the Elkhorn \ and Pocahontas coal regions, in the ex- 1 treme southwestern section, near the Virginia line, about one hundred and | twenty miles from this city, last night I and to-day. The hundreds of ravines and streams j only served to swell the Elkhorn river j until it resembled a huge rolling tor- i rent, carrying destruction in its wake. Railroad lines and tracks, whole j buddings, trees, telegraph poles, huge i bollders and every imaginable movable th<ng that came in its way went down the mountain torrent in seething, roar ing masses. Many dead bodies could be seeii floating by those whosoughtthe safety of the mountain side. i'he trainmaster of the Norfolk and Western Railroad walked the track be tween Vivan and North Fork, a dis tance of twelve miles, ile discovered tlvrty bodies floating in the river. Baturday night is pay night in the co.il fields, and it is supposed that the coal miners had flocked to the towns in the district to do their trading, and there is no telling how many of them were caught in the flood and drowned. At Keystone, W. Va., the greatest damage was done and form meagre re ports received at 11 o'clock to-night it seems to rival the Johnstown llood. It is known, however, that every building in that town of 2,000 inhabi tants was swept away save one saloon that stands on a hillside above the town proper. For twenty-five miles the great coal regions are in ruins. More than thirty miles of Norfold and Was tern Railroad track is said to be completely destroyed. The railroad yards at Vivian, W. Va., were completely destroyed and most of the town washed away. North Fork Junction and a few other towns suffered in a like manner. Between 12 and 3 o'clock this morn ing it seemed as if the heavens opened their flood gates about the town of Vivian. A passenger train was caught in the flood and the lives of the passengers were saved by the use of ropes thrown over from the coke ovens which lined the Vivan yards. The passengers caught the ropes and willing hands dragged them from the flooded trains and over the oven barri cades. Owing to the fact that the telegraph lines wore all down the Norfolk and Western detailed couriers by foot to cover tho territory,they returning in a short time with their reports. One man in a short walk down the devastated district reported having seen thirty-eight dead bodies. Many bodies will likely never be accounted for. The telegraph oflice, the railroad offices and officials and the passing trains are visited by hundreds of eager people, all awaiting some message as to the fate of their friends end relatives. The railway officials are reticent, but admit that at least 200 lives have been lost, Keystone destroyed and millions of dollars' worth of property destroyed. The flood has not only damaged the Elkhorn Valley, but every one of the thirty-three flat-top coal operations has suffered more or less. Great damage has resulted in the Clinch Valley section, which extends south from Graham, Va. Does it Fay to Advertise in the Press ?
