A few minutes after his arrival. Colonel

to (tfn. Hasting's headquarters, and talk

Hastings suid that Col. Douglass had con

w hat he is to do in the matter. The ver
dict of the jury hinges therefore upon
the possibilities of the evidence of ex

probably pay a visit to the datn and take
its own inventory cf aliairs, and be ready
to size up the estimates of the witnesses
that they may examine.

The rain that has fallen all day long
has again soaked the fallen city, and tlie
vast area still uncovered is. reeking with
noxions odors. The State Bowj-d of
Health stii! insists that there is sarpris
ingly little sickness in the town, no dan
gerous diseases having been reported in

some measles, gome pneumonia and some
chicken-pox. There are but a few cases
of each, and there does not seem to be
any fear on tlie part of Dn. Lee and

While there has been no search for

to-day at random. Dr. Stlliman, Brigade

were pulled out from behind a house in

Some memWra of the First Presbjieriaa

Weak Women.
The more sensitive nature of the female
sex renders women much more suscepti
ble than men to thow nmneronw ills
which spring from task of harmony in
the system. The nevot system gives
aWfiy, sickheadothe is frequent, the ap
petite is lost, and other ailments peculiar
to the sex cause great suffering. Hood's
Sarsaparilla is peculiarly adapted for such
cases, and has received the most gratify
ing praise for the relief it has afforded
thousands of women whose very existence
before taking it, was only misery. It
strengthens the nerves, cores sick head
ache and indigestion, purifies and vital
izes the blood, and gives regular and
healthy action to every organ in the

An Irresistible Bait for Rats.
According to a Washington correp ind
ent to the Cincinnati G.'wremf 6, u:it
an interesting not to say valuable .;ia:ov
ery has been made by Capt. Weeiiia, in
charge of the animals at tbe Zoo. The
building is infested by rats, and how to
get rid of them has been a perplexing
question. Traps were used, but nothing
would tempt the rodents to enter. In a
store rxiui drawer was placed a quantity
of sunflower see. Is, used as food for some
of the birds. Into to is drawer the rats
gnawed their way, a fact which led the
Captain to experiment with them for
bait in the traps. The recnlt was that
i the rats can't be kept out. A trap which
appears crowded with six or eight rats ia
ibnnd some morning to hold 6ileen.
They are turned into the cages contain
ing weasels and minks. The latter will
kill a rat absolutely almost before one
can see it, so rapid are its movements.
Tlie weasels are a trille slower, but none
of the rats escape them.
Set a dish of water in the oven with a
! rake when baking, and it wiil seldom

members are some of the best people in

the Grand Duchess of Baden, who has
heard of our calamity here, aud sends
her deepest sympathy.
""In regard to what place the present
disrster may be assigned in comparison

I would say that in lorn of life it stands
foremost and alone, but in regard to the
amount of physical suffering, it is not to
be compared to the cyclone at ML, Ver
non tiro years ago. Here people who
were injured and unable to help them
selves, were drowned ; but there those
who were struck by falling timbers or
trees were left lying upon the ground and
had to lie picked np by searching par
ties and conveyed to hospital quarters,
and this entailed immense su Jeritig."
In reply to a question regarding the
sanitary condition of the town and the
danger of an epidemic, Miss Barton said :
" Considering the circiiUi.stances,the con
dition ia erfcct, and the lack of serious
illness remarkable. I do not think thai
there is the slightest danger of an epi
demic. Of course I cannot say that we
will not have ore, but I consider the ios

"We are in readiness, however. Expe
rience has taught ns that caution is nev

the hillside, completely iioia.ed from

She is of alwut middle ae and her black
hair is but slightly tinged with grav ; her
voii-e, low but very distinct, and her
method of dis;osing of routine work sim
ply marvelous.
Continuing her chat, and changing to
the historical phase of her subject, she
said : " It is generally considered that
we are a religious society ; that wc were
organized for the relief, principally, of
Catholic sufferers. Ot iters imagine that
Protestants alone receive our benefits,

far as possible, the horrors of war. For

that I had serious doubts as to its accept

finally overcome, and by a unanimous
vote the United States was admitted. As
I had labored f Jr years with thedjfTerent

" 'What if the reservoir should break T
said a citizen.
'God help us if it does, responded an
old woman, the mother of three boys
who had come out of the mines "with
their faces black w ith honest toil.
"'Where is the "reservoir ?' asked the
writer of an olJ man.
""Two miles and a half ap the south
branch,' responded he, pointing ia the
direction.
"It needed but a glance at the top rra

three miles ior.g, one and a half mile
wide and sixty feet deep, empty its
mountain of water down the sides of the
gorge through which South Fork flowed,

Mr. Hatton suggested that the train e
moved across the bridge. The conductor
at first said that he had orders to stay
where he was, but he lina'iiy consented
to take the train across.
"About fifteen minutes after the train
had reached the north side," says Mr.
Hatton, "the engine of the freight train,
which had remained on the south side,
gave a fierce shriek, and the train st irted
for the bridge. Intuitively every nne
knew the dain had broken and the water
was coming.
The inhabitants, shrieking and cry
ing, ran for the ni -junta in side. The two
engines on the limited blew their w his
tles and started with the train up the
track, followed by a freight train. The
writer was in the rear of the next to the

water was alui.wt deafening.
"In less time than it has taken to write
this paragraph it had struck the houses
nearest the bridge and they were lifted
higfi into the air and tumbled over ia
the surging stream. Tie engine of the
escaping freight train which had given
the alarm had hardly reached the north
side when the bridge went down and
the freight cars were borne oil by the
rushing waters.
"As the passenger train fled up the
track the back water np the north branch
earned by it articles of furniture from
the houses which, a few seconiis before.
were standing bv the side of the train.
There was great excitement among the
passr ngers on the train, bat it was soon
dis -overod that the danger was post an !
a 'Thank God, we are saved,' went up
from tiie hearts and lipn of all on board.
The limited train lay at Wilmore ail

when it proceeded slowly east, reaching
Altoona -.bout 7 o'clock that evening.""
