DEATH IN
, SNOW SLIDE
From- 30 to 70 Men Are Bu
ried by an Avalanche
in Colorado.
Dy KNclusbe Wire (rom the Associated l'res.
Telluride, Colo., Feb. US. The most
terrible snow slide ever known In Colo
rado, caused the deaths of fiom 30 to
75 men at the Liberty Hell mine on
.Smuggler Mountain today. Although
tho scene of tho disaster is scarcely
two miles from this place, Infbrmatlon
Is difficult to obtain, on aceount-of tho
precipitous character of the roads and
tho vast amount of snow. Nearly all the'
buildings of the Liberty lilne were
.carried do win by the slide, all tho books
which shoW tho number nnd names of
the men employed being Iosf, so that
the real list could be hardly known for
many hpurs, possibly not until tho
rescuers1 shall have removed the im
mense quantity of snow, racks nnd
logs from the canyon where tho victims
lie burled.
It seems that two slides occurred
practically in the same place the sec
ond burying those who were trying to
rescue the victims of the first.
The first slide occurred at 7:30 o'clock
this morning while tho men of the day
shift were preparing tor their day's
work. About 200 men are employed in
tho mines and mills of the.1 Liberty
Hell company und less than half these
were nt work at the time of the acci
dent. The others wore in the boarding
house or In the bunk hbuso nearby.
Both these buildings were carried down
the mountain slde, a distance of 2,000
feet and crushed' by tons of snow.
It was 10 o'clock before news of tho
disaster reached Telluride. At once a
number of men started for tho scene.
Meantime the surviving employes of
the Liberty Hell began the work of res
cuing tho victims of the slido and a
dozen or more bodies were removed
from the snow, which lay piled twenty
live feet deep In the bottom of the can
yon. A little after noon a second slide,
starting n short distance above tho
first and practically following Its track
swept down the mountain side, burying
many of tho rescuers. A third slide
came down at 5 o'clock, about one mile
below the Liberty Hell mlno nnd Gus
You Flntef, John Powell and Paul
Dalpre, who wero on their return from
the scene of the eutustrophe this morn
ing, were swept away.
Harry Chase lost his life at tho Lib
erty Hell, wliile assisting In tho resciui
of tho unfortunates In the first slldo

Onco, every row years It spreads and
tiHsitmcs ularmlnp; proportions. From
till appearances this Is one of the years
In which It will seize upon it Btent
number of victims, for every .tiny new
cases aro reported.
As Hi scarlet and typhoid fever, the
ntter-effects of Kflt) are often worse
than tho disease Itself. The sufferer is
left with it debilitated system, short
ot breath upon tho slightest exertion,
nffected by every change of the weather
nnd in tt physical condition to Invito
the ttttitck ot the many diseases' In
duced by tho inclement weather of
early spring.
A timely suggestion as to how to en
able the system to resist tho Inroads
of grip and its artpr-erfects Is given by
Mrs. alary K. Chase, an operator hi a
shoo factory, living at No. I!i7i "Wash
ington street, itoxbury Dlst., Boston,
Maps. SJie says:
"I had nn attack or tho grip in 1S93
which left me In such u weak condition
that I became aflllcted with a compli
cation of other troubles. I suffered
from nervous dyspepsia and ti disease
peculiar to my sex. There was u bad
feeling In my head, yet It was not head
ache. 1 took cold easily and had peri
odical spells of nausea. 1 would faint
frequently, nnd was completely run
down In every way. I tried sevOral
doctors, and took various remedies, but
without favorable results.
"Finally u friend, who had taken
them herself, advised me to try Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills for Palo People. I
did so, and was feeling better when I
had taken one box of the pills. 1 con
tinued in the use of tho pills until I
had taken six boxes and they made mo
well and strong.
"I have recommended Dr. "Williams'
Pink Pills to quite u number of people
us u cure for constipation and to help
them got good blood. I know, by per
sonal experience, that they will give
wonderful results."
It is of the utmost Importance to
your health it you have suffered from
tho grip, that yon should cleanse tho
system of the lingering germs und put
it in condition to resist und ward oft
disease.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peo
ple aro valuable in cases like the above
because of tho double action on the
nerves and on the blood, a feature in
which they aro unlike any other medi
cine. For tills leason they cannot be
successfully Imitated, so do not let any
dealer palm off nn inferior article on
you. The genuine pills are never sold
In loose bulk but always in packages
and the well-known trade-mark on the
wrapper is your guarantee that the
contents aro genuine.
There are few diseases duo to impov
erished blood or weakened nerves that
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills will not bene
fit. Some of tho cures affected are al
most miraculous. If you are suffering
and ordinary treatment fails to leliove
you, send your name and address, to
gether with u brief description of your
case, to tho Dr. Williams Medicine
Company, Schenectady, N. Y. If tho
remedy , has not cured 'rasesflike yours
it will not bo recommended to you. Tho
pills will bo sent by mail, if desired,
postpaid, on receipt of price, lifty cents

Wilkes-Harre, Feb. 2S. Thu Wyoming
valley was visited by a terrific ruin
and wind storm, accompanied by heavy
thunder today. At times tho wind blow
u gale, blowing down outbuildings and
fences and uprooting trees.
The creeks feeding tho Susquehanna
river became raging torrents and over
flowed their- banks, doing a great deal
of damage to property. Toby creek
swelled to twice Its normal size und
carried everything before It. Some far
mers near Dallas who failed to get their
llvevstock out of tho barns In time
saw thchn carried down tho stream. Mill
creek overflowed Its banks early In
the day nnd the surplus water found
its way Into this city. In a short time

feet of water and many of the residents
vacated their houses temporarily.

hundred feet further up. The first leap
ot the waters, therefore, from tho nat
ural courso was Just nbovc the bridge
nt the rear ot the Toolan property,
Here they cut it hole through tho bank
ot Ice and snow und swept furiously
over Tooluil's lnnd. Through this place
out onto Urooklyn street nnd over onto
the propertied on the opposite side the
new-born river rushed, emptying into
the Lackawanna, some dlstauco behind.
This break gradually widened, and tin
tho rain continued und the discharge of
water down tho mountain side swelled
tho creek, tho diverted stream took on
the rage and fury of tho main stream,
and by 10 o'clock Gfjt) feet of Urooklyn
street, north of tho bridge, wns Hooded
with u rushing stream. It grew In
depth, and In nn hour It was waist
deep. The best conception of this break
from the creek Is given by saying that
It was a branch of a good-sized river,
sweeping nnd swirling around the
houses, which It embraced in 'its wild
course, and In one lnstnnce entering tho
front door of a partly abandoned house
and emptying out of the rear door like
a mlnlnturo wuterfall. The least that
was done In any Instance was the fill
ing of every cellar to tho utmost.
ICE BROKE.
About 8 o'clock the Ice that choked
and blocked the river bed began to be
broken as tho volume ot water In
creased. Immense pieces, many ot
them appearing to be about four feet
thick und weighing, some of them,
hundreds of pounds, were rushed like
fury down the stream. They crashed
and shot against tho little, but stout
bridge over Uioklyn street, shaking it
to its very foundations.
Tho cakes of Ice as they knocked and
rubbed against the flooring ot the
bridge made a rumbling, roaring noise
like the roll of distant thunder. Hun
dreds of these cakes Hoated nround in
the branch of the torrent on Urooklyn
street and wero smashed against tho
porches of the houses.
However, all of the Ice was not car
ried down tho stream. A good deal
was caught under the bridge and about
tho abutments. It quickly plied and,
blocking the rush of the waters, caused
them to seek still another outlet und
to add to the stream now merrily flow
ing through the Brooklyn street prop
erties and down 'the streot itself. The
south side of the bridge was tho next
egress, a stream, but not quite so big
ns the break on the north, rushing
down Brooklyn street, Hooding yards,
entering cellars and submerging the
streot railway tracks.
The continued piling and choking of
the Ice at the bridge, could lead to but
one consequence, the sweeping of the
river over the bridge. Tills Is what
was expected, und feared, as the climax
to the wild behavior of the stream. It
came about 4 o'clock, tho Ice and tho
water knocking) off and carrying away
tho guard rails of tho bridge. Every
thing was in tho wildest confusion
when this happened, for now that tho
stream had leaped from its bed with
such fury there was no" tolling where
It would cease In Its wlldness nnd
anger.
WAGONS USED.
The water poured in on overy side on
to the neaiby properties and so com
pletely surrounded the fibuseij! ih'lil tho
occupants became alarmed over the
fear that they would be Hood-bound
in their own homes. Tho delivery'
wagon of Merchant Timothy Cilhool,
whose store was among the places
submerged, was pressed into service,
and being driven up to the doors of tho
Hooded homes, it received tho imper
iled ones and carried them to a retreat
of safety.
With tho wild jump and rush of tho
river over the bridge, all tho damage
that was expected and feared and that
could bo done had taken place. Four
families wero nut their homes, tho
Harts, Toolans and Tuckers. Kvery
inch of ground that the river could pos
sibly bteak over was now being Hooded,
and tho danger of tho bridge being
washed away was safely passed. So
the timid residents settled their fears
and either spent their time In watch
ing the rush of the waters or discuss
ing their abating.
Late tonight tho situation was about
the same. The creek, or mighty river,
as It now Is, covers nn expanse of sev
eral hundred feet at tho Brooklyn
bridge, which it passes with fearful
velocity, for this Is the end of tho
creek's race down tho mountain. Near
ly u dozen properties nro being swept
by tho stream and a score more have
felt Its force in Hooded gardens or sub
merged cellars.
The sight of the raging creek and
the floating Ice was grandly thrilling,
nnd nil this afternoon nnd even after
dark tho Brooklyn bridge und vicinity,
oven where tho wnter wns flowing, was
thronged. Scores of properties on the neigh
boring bills wero Hooded and damaged
by tho streams that came down the
mountain sides, which are as yet only
but little relieved of tho snow that hides
them. With continued rain the Brook
lyn creek mjgltt be kept at a. dangerous
height for u week or more.
Tho Hood in tho Dundaff section
while It was not calculated to cause
such u scaro and wns nothing In the
thrilling features of the Brooklyn
creek, It wns not far behind In loss and
dnmnge.
CAUSE OP TROUBLE.
The disaster In this section was
caused by the choking up with Ico of
tho creek that travels down the moun
tain sldo from C'oalbrook. Whllo tho
(low this morning was perhaps way be
yond tho rapacity or the channel of tho
stream, yet it would have been well
munuged but for the ice-blocked chan
nel. .
There were two breaks In the creek,
one that ran along Falrvlew streot and
made u leap Into Clune's alley Hooding
tho houses therein up to the doorsteps;
tho other, the most serious, was near
tho Coalbrook breaker, where the creek
shooting down tho hill drives under the
Delaware and Hudson tracks and
empties into the Lackawanna,
At this pqlnt, there seems to be no
room whatever under tho tracks
through which an Increased How of
water can pass; but it Is certain that
thtro wasn't room enough for today's
flood. The creek burst out and rushing
down the yard towards tho city, it cov
eted neurly all of the tracks in tho yard
by the time It reached Dundaff cross,
lug. The rush of water down Falrvlew
und Fttllbrook streets met at tho cross
lug, Hooding the houses at tho corner,
making some of the Inmates prlsoueis
In their own homes.
At tho railroad crossing tho union
ot (ho overflow was broken again, one
shooting down Dundaff street, turning
tbut thoroughfare Into a creek; the
A CAUSE OF HEADACHE,
Ono Vory Common Cause, Generally
, Over-Looked,
Headache Is a symptom, nn Indica
tion of derangement or dlsoo.se hi some
organ, and tho cause ot tho headache
Is dlfllcult to locate because so many
diseases have headache as a prominent
symptom; derangement of the stomach
and liver, heart trouble, kidney disease,
lunrf trouble, eye strain of 111 llttlng
glasses, all produce 'headnchoB, and If
wo could nlways locate the organ which
Is nt fault the cure ot obstinate head
aches would bo a much simpler matter.
However, for Unit form of headache
called frontal headache, pain back of
tho eyes und in forehead, tho cause Is
now known to be. catarrh of tho bend
and throat; when tho 'headache Is lo
cated In back ot head and neck It is
often caused from catar.rh of the stom
ach or liver.
At nny rate catarrh Is the most com
mon cause of such headaches and tho
cure of tho catarrh causes a prompt
disappearance of the headaches.
There Is at present no treatment for
Catarrh so convenient and effective ns
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, a new Inter
nal remedy In tablet form, composed
of antiseptics like cucalyplol, gualacol
and blood root which net upon tho
blood nnd cnuse tho elimination of tho
catarrhal poison from tho system
through tho natural channels.
Miss Cora AInsloy, a promliicnt
school teacher in one of our normal
schools, speaks of her experience with
catarrhal headaches and eulogizes Stu
art's Catarrh Tablets us a cure for
them. She says: "I suffered dally
from severe frontal headache and pain
in and back of the eyes, at times so In
tensely as to Incapacitate me In my
dally duties. I had suffered from ca
tarrh, more or less for years, but never
thought It was tho cause of my head
aches, but finally became convinced
that such was the caFe because tho
headaches were always worse when
ever I had a cold or fresh attack of
catarrh.
"Stuart's Catarrh Tablets were high
ly recommended to mo as a safe and
pleasant catarrh cure, and after using
a few llfty-ccnt boxes which I pro
cured from my druggists I was. sur
prised and delighted to find that 'both
the catarrh und headaches had gone
for good."
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets aro sold by
druggists at fifty cents pei package,
under the guarantee of the proprietors
that tliey contain absolutely no co
caine (found In so many catarrh cures),
no opium (so common in cheap cough
cures), nor nny harmful drug. They
contain simply the wholesome antisep
tics necessary to destroy nnd drive from
the system the germs of catarrhal dis
ease. other How went down on tho Delaware
and Hudson tracks ending at tho prop
erties along Ulvcr street, Tho How
along Dundaff street caused scarcely
tiny damage, but the other was respon
sible for u good deal of Hooding. Thp
bobbin works of the Clover Leaf ManuA
facturlng company were submerged
and three nearby dwelling houses wero
Hooded. Tho Hendricks company's
shops were nlso damaged, the Patter
son company's barn had four feet of
water and Lynch & Bronson had a
thousand dollar dynamo ruined.
LAST CHANCE NINE FLOODED.
Shortly after 0 o'clock water broke
through the old workings of tho Last
Chance colliery and Hooded down tho
hill through Mills' pasture in torrents.
Houses along the route wore badly
damaged so furious was the rush of
water and collars weio filled in a few
minutes utter thu break. Tho roadbed
for a distance of nearly forty feet on
the Ilonesdnlo branch of the Delawaro
and Hudson wus washed away und u
gang of men numbering nearly ono
hundred had to be sent to tho scene to
repair the break.
Tho water rushed down Arehbald
street and thence to Seventh avenue,
taking for its course tho sidewalk and
u considerable portion of thu roadway.
Many cellars wero Hooded on Seventh
and Rlghth avenue, and considerable
damage caused. Tho water broke
through from the Northwest workings'.
Tho stores which border along tho
Lackawanna in tho rear of Main street,
wero all Hooded, tho Anthracito being
tho most damaged.
On South Main street a number of
houses wero Inundated. On tho AVost
Sldo tho 1111111)01' yard of F. W. Mills
caught all tho water that camo down
the, hill, and In some places It was waist
dee'p. Alumni park was Hooded from
ono end to tho other.
Al) over tho city the Hood wns felt,
and in nil hundreds of properties and
collars were damaged. Tho sower sys
tem was taxed far boyond its capacity
and nothing that tho street department
men did was of nny noticeable help,

PIrwood had to Vacate thclrf homes on
short notice. From 8 o'clock until 9,
thu water rose very rapidly. It Is still
rising nnd the Hood is more disastrous
than the December flood. Owing to
washouts and bridges being swept
uway, all railroad Unfile Is at a stand
still. Several bridges on tho Delawaro
avid; Hudson railroad, between this city
and Scranton. were washed away.
So far as known, three lives wero lost.
