ALL OF AUSTIN
A GREAT RUIN
Pennsylvania Town Wiped Out
When Concrete Dam Bursts.
LOSS WILL TOTAL $4,000,000
Dam Was Property of Bayless Pulp
& Paper Co. and Helped Form a
Lake 45 Feet Deep and a Mile and
Half Long—Gave Way Without
Warning and Residents Were
Caught Unawares —Only a Few
Hillside Houses Are Left—Rail
road Tracks Are Torn Up for Miles
—Search for Dead.
Austin, Pa.—Austin, a town of 3,200
residents, in the northern part of the
State, was swept out of existence and
more'than 200 of its people killed by
a flood, followed by the breaking of
the Bayless Pulp and Paper company's
dam, one mile and a half north of the
town. Almost five hundred million
gallons of water rushed, in a wall 10
feet high, over the place, wrecking
every structure in its path.
An accurate estimate cannot be ob
tained of the financial loss that the
disaster will mean to Austin, but the
opinion of several townsmen who are
in a position to know places it at $4,-
000,000. Of this the Bayless company
is assigned $i,500,000, the Buffalo &
Susquehanna railroad $500,000 and
the rest in proportion.
The water ran into the first fork
of the Sinnemahoning Creek, which
was turned into a seething current,
and the village of Costello, three and
a half miles east of Austin, was also
inundated. The Buffalo & Susque
hanna Railroad Bridge at Costello
was swept away. Communication
with Austin was broken completely,
j The tracks of the Buffalo & Susque
hanna Railroad were torn up for 25
miles.
Practically every building in Austin
was destroyed. The buildings were
swept into a gorge that was chocked
quickly. Fire followed the flood at
once, and those imprisoned in the
houses who were not drowned, were
burned to death. Only a few houses
on the hillside of the gorge of Sinne
mahoning Creek escaped.
The pillar of water that jammed its
battering-ram of cordwood through
the valley, swept itself a clean path
for an even mile. There it smashed
a broadside against the full length of
the principal street of Austin, gath
ering up as it went the boards that a
minute before -.vere houses, and heav
ed the splintered fragments against
the more substantial line of brick
stores.
Brick and steel gave way almost as
completely as had the less solid con
struction. But the wave was hinder- ;
ed long enough to pile up to the height i
of a three-story building the mass of j
torn debris. Then the flood rippled j
ahead, swirling over the few small j
buildings that lay below until it came
to railroad shops, where cars and lo
comotives were flipped onto their
sides and stripped of their wheels |
and roofs, and where the natural gas !
pipes in the engine rooms were snap- j
ped off. Then came the fire that fin
ished the job in the yards and in the
nearby kindling shops. After that the j
wall kept ongoing through the valley j
until it had brought down all but four j
of the houses in Costello, the village
that lies three miles below.
The loss of life is still uncertain,
but the estimates lie between 250 and
300. Enumerators of the last census
have begun the task of going through
the houses upon the hillsides where !
the homeless ones have been taken I
in. It is only by elimination, the au
thorities believe, that anything like
an accurate count can be made. The
work of clearage has begun, but it will
be a long task and even the census
takers' work cannot be completed for
many days. Only 60 are positively
known to be dead, but scores are j
missing.
It is a curious fact that the list of
the injured is practicablly negligible.
The state physicians aid r.urses, who
came supplied with bandages and
medicines, have found nothing to do.
They have turned their efforts to
feeding and clothing the population
that had every grQcery store and
meat market wiped away. The break
in the dam that brushed off the one
business street and crumpled up four
churches did not injure or maim. It
stamped out life or left those .men
and women untouched.
But it will be ten days before an ac
curate tally of the dead can be made.
The work of digging the bodies from
the mountains of timbers seems al
most hopeless. Most of the houses
were of wood and with hundreds of
cords of.lumber their ruins form a
breastwork sixty feet high across
half of what was Main street.
EIGHT CHILDREN DIE IN FLAMES.
Parents Left Them in Bed to Fight
Blaze That Destroyed Home.
Indiana, Pa.—Eight children of Mr.

ITALY'S WAR
DECLARATION
The Evasive Reply of Turkey
Prompted Invader to Act.
A VERY INCISIVE DOCUMENT
Italy Gives Passports to Turkish Am
bassador in Rome and Demands
Same for Its Representative
in Constantinople.
Constantinople.—Following is the
text of the declaration which the Ital
ian Charge handed to the Porte:
"The Italian Embassy, carrying out
the orders of the King, has the honor
to notify you that the delay accorded
by the Koyal Government to the
Porte, with a view to the realization
of certain necessary measures, has
expired without a satisfactory reply
reaching the Italian government. The
lack of this reply only confirms the
bad will, or want of power, of which
the Turkish government and authori
ties have given such frequent proof,
especially with regard to the rights
and interests of Italians in Tripoli
and Cyrenica.
"The Royal Government conse
! quently is obliged itself to safeguard
I its rights and interests, as well as its
honor and dignity, by all means at its
disposal. Events which will follow
can only be regarded as the necessary
consequences of conduct followed so
long by the Turkish authorities.
"The relations of peace and friend
ship being therefore interrupted be
tween the countries, Italy considers
herself from this moment in a state
of war with Turkey. I have there
fore the honor to make known to
Your Highness that passports will be
placed at the disposal of the Charge
d'Affaires at Rome, and I beg Your
Highness to hand passports to the
representative of the Royal Govern
ment.
"Ottoman subjects may continue to
reside in Italy without fear of an at
tack upon their persons, property or
affairs."
"NO GOD IN WALL STREET."
Notre Dame President Calls It Na
tional Bad Example.
Cincinnati. —"Wall Street is our na
tional bad example," according to the
Rev. John Cavanaugh, president of
Notre Dame University, who is at
tending the National Eucharistic Con
gress here. "Money has been en
shrined there," he continued, "and
God banished. These men of Wall
Street proceed on the theory that the
world is made of beasts of prey and
beasts of burden. The money game
is a ruthless thing that brutalizes the
participants or crushes them."
GIRL DARES: YOUTH SHOOTS.
He Didn't Know Rifle Was Loaded —
It Was, and Girl Dies.
Lincoln, Mass. —"You don't dare
shoot me, Charlie," said 16-year-old
Marian Stevens, of Millers Falls,
when Charles Wetherbee, aged 18, at
whose home she was visiting, pulled
down his father's hunting rifle from
its rack.
The boy with a laugh pointed the
rifle at her and pulled the trigger. The
girl dropped dead with a bullet
through her head. The authorities,
after an investigation, decided to take
no action.
ATHLETICS ARE CHAMPIONS.
By Defeating the Tigers Have a Clear
Title to Pennant.
Philadelphia. American League

troit by 11 to 5. It was the fourth
timo a local team piloted by Connie
Mack has won the pennant in this

delphia has won the title in succes
sive seasons. By repeating this year,
Philadelphia earned the . right to de
fend the title of world's champions
which it won last year in a series
with the Chicago National League
club.
EUROPE IN DANGER.
German Protest at Italy's Act as
"Brigandage."
Berlin. —The German newspapers
show a tendency to condemn the
action of Italy toward Turkey as high
handed.
The Frankfurter Zeitung calls it a
"public act of brigandage" against
which, the paper says, all Europe
must protest.
The journal blames Italy for bring
ing the members of the Triple Al
liance into embarrassment and dan
ger.
WAR IN COPPER TRADE FEARED.
Guggenheim Interests, It's Said, Will
Fight Rockefeller Group.
Philadelphia.—War in the copper
trade, it is reported, is on the point
of being declared between the power
ful Guggenheim and Rockefeller in
terests. Controlling important low
cost producting properties, such as
the Utah Copper and Nevada Consoli
dated, the Guggenheim party has tired
of the experiment of restricting pro
duction to enable high-cost producing
properties to make a profit.
ADMIRAL SCHLEY
DROPS DEAD
Sea Fighter Falls in a New York
Street From Apopletic Stroke.
A SKETCH OF HIS CAREER
Blood Vessel in His Brain Burst—
Skull Fractured on the Curb in
His Fall—Body Quickly Rec
ognized—His Naval Career.
New York. —Rear Admiral Winfield
Scott Schley, retired, the hero of the
sea battle off Santiago and the Gree

He returned to New York and spent
the morning at the New York Yacht

He was still breathing and Schneider
rested the Admiral's head in his lap.
A few minutes later Admiral Schley
stopped breathing, and Dr. Krug, the
first physician on the scene, pro
nounced him dead.
As soon as his identification had
been established his son. Dr. W. S.
Schley, of 42 West Forty-second
street, was notified. He broke down
when he recognized his father.
Schley, at the time of his death,
wore a gold metal which had been
presented to him by the State of
Maryland for rescuing the Greely
party of seven from the Arctic re
gions.
A large crowd gather from Fifth
avenue, and when they learned that
the dead man was Schley, the men
took off their hats and stood with
heads bowed as his body was lifted.
In addition to Dr. Schley and Mrs.
Stuart Wortley he left a son, Capt.
T. F. Schley. Mrs. Schley was Re
becca Franklin, of Annapolis, and
the Admiral married her on Septem
ber 10, 1863.
Winfield Scott Schley was born at ■
Richflelds, Md., on October 10, 1839. i
He spent four years in the academy
and was'first under fire on board the
Water Witch, which was sent after a
blockade runner at Mobile Bay.
Under Farragut, Schley served on
the blockading force for several
weeks, and was then transferred to
the Potomac, for a voyage to Vera
Cruz. In July, 1862, he was promoted
to the grade of lieutenant. Then
came a year of service in Central and
South America, after which he had a
period as instructor at the Naval
Academy, which he left to rejoin Far- |
ragut.

MUNYON TELLS YOU
HOW TO GET WELL
FREE OF CHARGE
# J * ew days ai?o I received a letter
Irom a young man, who slates he is 28
years of age, and has occupied several
Important positions, but owing to Indi
gestion and Inability to sleep he lias been
unable to concentrate his mind upon Ills
■work and has consequently been dis
charged on the ground of neglect of duty
He goes onto say that he is a young
man of steady habits, but for years he
has suffered from dyspepsia, which has
jo affected his nerves that he is unable
to sleep, and that It is not neglect upon
his part, nor lack of Interest In the busi
ness, but simply physical weakness. Ha
asks my advice In this matter.
"For the benefit of a large number of
those similarly situated I propose to
answer this letter publicly, hoping that
It may be the means of helping many
.1? may affected In this way.
"In the first place, the stomach must
oe made well before the nerves can be
made strong. The nerves must be made
strong before one can sleep well. No
one Is capable of doing his best who is in
any way troubled with insomnia or any
form of nervousness. The greatest gen
erals nave been men of iron nerve and
indomitable will. They have had perfect
digestion, being able to eat well, and d<-
gest all they nte.
"It Is said that Napoleon lost the bat
tle of Waterloo because of a fit of indi
gestion. Grant's enormous reserve power
was due to a well stomach. Abraham
Lincoln said that 'he did not know that
he had a stomach.' Orover Cleveland It
Is said, could work IS hours a day eat
a hearty meal at 2 or 3 o'clock in the
morning, goto bed and sleep soundly un
til 9 o'clock and get up refreshed, ready
for a new day's work.
"Pres. Taft Is another type of healthv
manhood. Who thinks for one momi
that he would be the President of
United States today had he been a
sneptle or affected with some ner
ailment? I claim that two-thirds c
the failures In professional and business
life are due to weak and deranged stom
achs.
"No business house would care to em
ploy a dyspeptic representative to sell
goods for them on the road. One-half
the men who stand behind counters to
day, earning from sl2 to sls a week, w'll
never get beyond these figures, for the
J*enson that they are physicallv weak.
They lack the nerve power and com
manding strength that come from a good,
sound stomach.
"No one cares to hear a dyspeptic
preacher. No matter how p'ons he may
| be, he Is bound to reflect his bilious and
jaundiced condition. He will unconscious
ly Inoculate his hearers with his melan-
I choly feelings.
I "No one would think of entrusting an
! Important legal case In the hands of a
dyspeptic lawyer, any more than he
would care to entrust his own life, or
that of a dear one, In the hands of a phv
siclan who Is nervous, Irritable or a dy
speptic. Men must have good digestion,
strong nerves and vital manhood In or
der t<| render a clean, clear-cut decision
either In medicine, law or business.
"I believe that more than half of the
divorces can be traced to 111 health. I
want every dyspeptic to try mv
treatment, for It corrects nearly all forms
of Indigestion and nervousness. Tt makes
old stomachs almost as good as new. Tts
marvelous power for digesting food and
getting the best out of It makes for good
rich, red blood. This. 1n turn, strength
ens the nerves, builds up the general sys
tem, and will surely prolong llf» and
make it a pleasure to live and do the
things allotted to us."

Cement Talk No. 8
The appearance
of any place can be
greatly improved by
using; concrete wherever
possible. If you have a
nice home, whether in
the city or inthecountry,
you can add greatly to its
attractiveness by building
not only the sidewalks, but
the steps, curbs, fence-posts,
cisterns, foundations, drive
ways, cellars and so on, of
concrete. Build of concrete and
use UNIVERSAL Portland Ce
ment. Concrete is cheap, easy
to use, clean, fire, rat and rot proof.
Concrete is the simplest building mater
ial and the most durable. You need only
UNIVERSAL cement, sand, grave! or crushed
stone. Hut remember to use UNIVERSAL- -it
is the best cement. It is always of uniform col
or and great strength. Ask your dealer for it.
