All persona say that the crest of tho flood waa upon the towti wllhlti threo or four minutes after tho dan ger was perceived. Most of tho peoplu wero In their houses. Tho day being Sunday, tho hour bolng dinner tlmo. and a heavy rain fnllliig, nil caused thwn to pen themselves with in doors. Most of tho dwellings wero noar tho bank of tho stream. '1 Un people were therefore caught llko rata a trap, and so sudden was nut warning that compnrutlvely fow could reach placea of safoty. The whole row or bouses next ino erven was swept away. Spectators of thn calamity describe tho structuics ua falling like card nouses, tiiu iiwuiunKa woro tossed about iiko uouuiiib, mm most of them fell completely to pieces.

Forms of women fre quently come to light bereft of all clothing savo where a corset nhlclds thorn from tho gaxo of anxious search ers. Clothing of men Is less frequent ly torn away. Tho bodies aro borne to Roberts' hall to be washed and dressed by women, to bo shrouded In coarse white cloth, and m uo lam in rough wood boxes, Thore Is no Mum for corcmony. It's the grim reality ot death. And women who would faint at scenes one thousandth part na awful obey the mnndato of necessity without a flinch. The floor swims with the half diluted mud that drips from the victims, but tho living pat ter through It or sweep It out whon It gets too deep.
