CIlAIiKKSTOX. W. Ya.. Aug. 10.
Twenty three bodies have been re
covered from the debris carried down
by the flood which swept tho Cabin
creek valley near here yesterday.
Kescue parties have penetrated some
distance above Cabin crook junction
and meager reports brought hack by
couriers and fro mthe railroads indi
cate that the loss of life has been
heavy although no accurate estimate
can bo made. Persons driven from
their homes to tho mountain are re
turning to find whole villages of min
ing cabins swept away, while distress
and suffering is eon on every hand.
Two companies of the Second West
Virginia infantry left Camp Kanawha
by trolley this morning and were tak
en to Cabin Creek function with or
iel's to penetrate the valley and ex
tend relief to all who need il. They
arried provisions and tents.
Kxciti'sioiiisUs Isolated.
Tho excursion train carrying 111!
persons marooned by the flood was
located today between Main Morse
creek and Kittle Morse creek, with
washouts on both sides. Itelief was
sent from St. Albans. Women and
children constitute the majority of
the excursionists.
Soon after 11 o'clock the soldiers
reached Khotln where .headquarters
were established and from wihch point
the relief work will bo carried on.
At that hour an estimate nl' the dead
remained at 100, but those respon
sible for the estimate admitted it was
only an estimate.

A report reached here this morning
to ihe effect that .Jarolds Valley, a
town of 500 inhabitants in Hooue
county, at the head of Coal river, was
washed away in yesterday's cloud
burst and that 75 of its populace had
lost their lives.
That portion of Jarolds valley be
tiveen Fields and Joe's crocks, was
swept clean by the waters, according
to reports here. It is said that at
least five hundred houses were wash
ed. away. Inhabitants had no warn
ing of the approach of the water,
nmr it is believed the loss of life may
be oven gre- ter than that on I'aint
and Cabin creeks.
More than two thousand resjijenls
of the valley are perched on the hill

GRAND KOUKS, V i., Aug. 10.
Charles K. Hughes, republican presi
dential nominee, told an audience of
! farmers in the Auditorium here today
that he believed In a protective tariff
that would protect thorn as well as
the men In the factories.
"1 believe in u protective tariff,"
Mr. Hughes said, "1-beliovclii pro
tection without abuse. I think that
is possible.
"Our opponents, who for genera
tions, have told us 11 was contrary to
the constitution of the I'nited States
to have duties except for he purpose
of revenue, are telling us there Is an
economic revolution and perhnps w
can have .a duty on dye stuffs and a
non-partisan commission. Hut I be
lieve In trusting those who really ac
cept tho doctrine of protection w'th
its enforcement. And 1 believe In
I invitpcl Inn foi t ho fn riiint'u 1 nut no I
believe In protection for the men In
tho factories."
Mr. Hughes repeated his views on
preparedness, saying that he stood
for reasonable preparedness.
"Weakness breeds Insults and In
sults breed war." he said. "I stand
for the protection of American rights.
Firm Insistence on American rights,
backed by reasonable preparedness
means peace and security."
Crisp wather, so cold that over
coals were necessary, greeted the
nominee here.
Shortly after noon Mr. Hughes left
