Four Thousand People Are Oat of Employment on Account of De struction by Water of Cot- ton Mills Many Home- : less Other News. Augusta, Ga., Juae 6. A. report haa reached here from. Pacolet, S. C, that Mill No. 1 of the Pacolet compauy .was completely washed away by a cloud burst. The Paco let river has overflowed its banks and Mill No. 2 is in great danger. Many miles of lowland are flooded and great damage has been done. Reports conflict as to whether there was any loss of life or not. A later report savs Mill No. 2 has been swept away and another one further down the river has been destroyed, while a fourth is in danger. A church, hotel and liv ery stable at Pacolet were also de stroyed. ; A later report says that 33 per sons were drowned at Spartans burg. S. C. Clifton Mill No. 4 was washed away in addition to the two Pacolet mills. The greatest loss of life occurred in the Clifton district. All rivers in the western portion of South Carolina are on a rampage. Railroad bridges are washed away and all wires are down. There is 60 feet of water in the Pacolet riv er, which is usually a small stream, barely large enough to turn the mill wheels. The property loss has already reached $1, 000,000. Two thousand, bales of manufactured goods were washed away when the mills V were destroyed. Western Union Telegraph Company reports the loss of practically all its wires and poles in the .vicinity of Spar tansburg.' Telephone . communica tion is out of the question. Columbia, S". Q , June 6. Re ports received here just now from Spartansburg say, the loss of life will probably exceed 50. The great est number suffered . death at the Clifton Mills, above the Pacolet Mills. A hotel and a number of residences washed away by the wa ter, which came out of the moun tains like a giant millrace. The mills were largely owned by New England capitalists. At mill No. 3 one-half of the picker room and five stories on the left side of the main building were washed away. The main building, supported by a thick wall, is stiil standing. The dam at No. 3. is in tact. The boiler room has gone, but the smokestack is yet standing. All the machinery in this mill is ruined. . At Glendale four ware houses filled with cotton and cotton products were swept away along with the dam across Lawson'd Fork and the trestle of the City Electric Railway. The mill at Glendale was not materially damaged. At converse the main building of the Clifton factory collapsed, and the flood rose till the second floor of the mill was under four feet of water, 40 or 50 feet above the or dinary stage. The Converse mill is utterly demolished, nothing standing but the picker-room build ing, which is badly wrecked. Clif ton mill No. 3 also lost its boiler room, engine room and smokestack Spartansburg, S. C, June 6. So many wires are down and com munication of all sorts is ,so thor oughly demoralized that it is im possible to form any definite cal culation of the loss of life in today's cloudburst and the resultant floods. The mortality list may go to 150, but the more conservative estimates place it somewhere around 40 or 50. The total property loss in the en tire section laid waste by the storm is likely to aggregate $2,000,000. The loss at Pacelot is placed at $1, 000,000. More than 500 people are homeless and 4000 out of employ ment. . VV "-. ,:',;.. , Then was no wiDd and no dam age by lightning, the loss all being by water. This fell in ; veritable torrents, converting the surface of the earth into a sheer lake of rag ing waters; rivers Overflowed their banks to heights never before known; creeks became rivers,- and small rivulets raging torrents, wip ing out everything in their course. '( Railroad bridges were torn from. stone and iron piers; cotton mills were crushed like straw before the flood, and grist mills and innnmer able smaller industries and cot ta ges were washed away by the an gry waters. Tonight scores of people wer clinging to the branches of trees a Clifton and could not be reached. Unless help comes to them soon it is feared that many will fall into the water and drown. Augusta, June 6. The Herald's staff correspondent at Spartansburg gives the losses in the flood district as follows: Arkwright mill, 20,205 spindles, slightly damaged, not over $3,000; Beamont mill, 3880 spindles, dam age slight; Clifton, Nos. 1, 2 and 3, 101,322 spindles, most serious dam age of all, amounting to $700,000; Pacolet. Nov 1, 2 and 3, 39,352 spindles, capitalized at $1,000,000, damages, $756,000; Whitney, 10,000 spindles, damage $100,000. ' Thirty-five lives are reported lost. The bodies of these with two excep tions were caught floating in the river at Clifton, ten miles from Spartansburg. Only mills Nos. 1 and 2 were completely destroyed, at Pacolet, but No 3 was seriouely damaged. All that now remains of the scene of wrecked mills is a mass of brok en and twisted iron and . stone in disheveled heaps. Most of the drowned people were operatives of Pacolet River mills. So suddenly did the water rise that they were unable to escape from their homes and went down in the torrent with their houses. Anaeonda, Mont., June 6. -News from Glasgow tonight is that a general jail break took place there tonight. William Hardee, a con demned murderer, awaiting execu tion, fatally wounded Jack Wil liams, his death watch, with a 3o-3o Winchester rifle" which be secured iruthe jail, kitchen. He and the only other prisoners in the jail then took the keys, and escaped.. The men are well armed. They swam the Missouri and are now surrounded in a bend' of that stream by a big posse. : The prisoners who escaped from the Glasgow jail were: William Hardee, under sentence of death for 'killing George Snearly; Jack Brown, serving six months for as sisting in a former jail break, and two other short term prisoners. Under-Sheriff Rutter was on guard in the cell where the four men were confined at the time. Jailer Dillard came to get the sup per dishes. The prisoners ' seized him and Rutter and overpowered them. One of them went to the kitchen and secured the Winches ter and lay in wait for Jack Williams, one of the guards, who had been down town. When he ap peared he was shot through the body and fatally wounded. Dillard and Rutter were then beaten al most into insensibility. A posse was soon in pursuit and caught sight of three men on the opposite 'side of the river. Hardee was not among them. He was eith er drowned in crossing, or .left . the rest of the party, which is thought more likely. : Hardee has the rifle and as he is to be hanged on June 26th, it is not thought he will be taken . alive or until he has killed some of his pursuers. The suoreme court has refused him a new trial. Hardee was to have been hanged several months ago, . but escaped with a horsethief 1 named Jackson and was at large for some time. He became exhausted, partly by the lack of morphine to which he was a victim, and was recaptured and resentenced,,; Jackson never was caught. ' . " ' The posse in pursuit of the men who got away tonight will work in two parties, one going after Hardee while the other will go after the three men now surrounded near the river. ' Sacramento, Cal., June 6. Gov ernor' Pardee issued today a war rant of arrest upon the requisition of the governor : of Oregon, for Charles Laine, alias Bock; Josiah Smith and his son, Adelbert Smith, all charged with having committed perjury in Astoria, for the purpose of obtaining damages alleged to have been sustained by Laine. The parties are in jail at Oakland, Cal ifornia. ' . ... ' i s . 1 . r For Sale. A small bnt good paying business, in Corvallis. ' ' Inquire at Times office. EAT HUMAN iLESH.

Thet Christian Herald today transmit ted to Assistant Secretary of State Loomi8 a check for $10,000 for the establishment of a relief fund for the famine sufferers in the Cbioeso province of Kwaiag Si. Mr Loomia deposited the money here and no tified United StatesCousul-GneraL MoWade at Canton that he may draw for the amount of the check.

Belleville, 111., June 6 W. i;r Wyatt, a negro school teacher, was lynched here tonight for shootings and mortally wounding County Superintendent Charts Her tel. of- ,St. Clair County. Hertel had re . fused to renew the teaching certifi cate of Wyatt, and the negro cama into his office and attacked him. Wyatt was immediately arrested and taken to jail. Two hours later a mob swarmed the -jail,. secured s the necrro and dpsnit the fl.nnan.Ia ' of the mayor and other officials, ha was hanged. superintendent iiertel was .re moved to the hospital, where the physicians probed for the bullet, but he stated there is no chanca for his recovery. A young man named Felder was in the office when the shooting oc curred. He grappled with Wyatt, but the negro beat him off with the butt of his revolver, inflicting a se- vere scalp wound. Before be was hanged Wyatt asserted the shooting was the nsult of a political grudge. The mob hanged Wyatt to a tele phone pole in tne public square. Even while bis body was jerking in th(thrces of death from stragula , tion, members of the mob began Vkniltinfra fira of. ilia fVinf ff fK& pole. The flames flared up and licked at the feet of the victim, but , this did not satisfy the mob, and another and larger fire was started. When it had been burning briBkly the negro still half alive, was cub down and afiei being covered with coal oil, hewa?JtbrQst into the fire. Moans of pain were heard from tho half-dead victim of the mob. and these served to further infuriate his torturers. Theyjfell upon him with clubs and knives and cut and beat the beipg almost to pieces, and not until every sign of life had departed didthey desistand permit the flames , to devour the body. As the fire lighted up the scene the members of the mob stood around the firs hurling more fagots of wood into gro for the shooting. f , Morristown, N. J., June 5. A. little fox terrier created a commo tion here in the store of George C Smith today. The dog had been, hanging around all day and sud denly went mad. He began chas ing Mr.. Smith and the clerks. They barricaded themselves behind crack er boxes, cheese boxes, etc., and pelted him with lemons and canned goods, but failed to drive him out. The police were telephoned for. A fat sergeant and fatter roundsman came on the scene and .were more badly frightened than the men in the store. ' . . ; Just as the policemen turned and ran, the dog jumped into an open cracker box. The lid - was slammed down before he could jump out. Funeral . services were conducted in the grocery store yard For Sale. A well bred driving mare, harness and' buggy, Will sell . all or. any.
