Leavenworth, Kansas, June 9. Carrie Nation, tho Kansas saloon smasher, died here to-night. Paresis was tho cause of death. For several months Mrs. Nation. Had been in poor health, and on January 22 Bho entered the local sanitarium in which she died, hoping there to recover from a nervous breakdown. Mrs. Carrie Nation was born in Kentucky in 1846. Her maiden name was Carrie Moor, and as a girl it is said she was absolutely fearless. In her early life she mar ried a man addicted to the use of intoxicants, which created in her an intense aversion to tho saloon. When ho died she determined to devote her life to tho suppression of the liquor traffic. Later she moved to Kansas and married David Nation, who sym pathized wit; ser temperance princi ples. Mrs. Nation's first saloon smash ing was done in tho bar-room of the Carey Hotel in Wichita, December 27, 1900. She wns arrested and re mained in jail several days before . she was released on bond. On January 21, 1901, armed with her favorite weapon, a hatchet, Mrs. Nation made another raid in Wichita. This time she smashed two saloons. During the next three months Mrs. Nation surprised tho saloon keepers in various towns, appearing unher alded and leaving a trail of ruined bar fixtures wherever she went. Remarkably few saloon men used violence In resisting Mrs. Nation, al though she was attacked and badly hurt while wrecking a bar at Enter prise, Kans. Dy this time the State of Kansas was In a foment. Aroused by tho spirit of the dauntless woman from Kentucky, the people began to demand that all the saloons he clos ed. Smashing parties were organ ised all over tho State. Erratic, as her lifo had boen, Mrs. Nation was responsible for tho great est temperance awakening in Kansas. Mrs. Nation, after her activities in Kansas, became a lecturer and the editor of a paper called The Smash ers' Mail. She did little smashing outside of Kansas. While lecturing in New York she created a sensa tion by appearing at tito horse show in Madison Square Carden and de manding that the occupants of the Vanderbilt box contribute money for a home for drunkards' wives, which sho founded In Kansas City, Kans.

New York, June ll.-A survey of the nearby territory over which the elements raged from 10 o'clock last night until 4 this morning, showed to-day that three lives were lost and that the havoc wrought by water, lightning, wind and fire amounted to hundreds of thousands of dollars. Two bodies were found early to day on the shore of Gravesend Day and Identified as Mrs. Emilie Faulk ner, a widow, and her brother, Capt. George Laute, a boat builder. Laute and his sister had gone out to his houseboat with a store of provisions for a party which had been planned for to-day. lt is presumed they were returning to t he shore when the storm broke and capsized their little skiff. The third death was in Jersey City, where a fallen live wiro elec trocuted David Clark. Losses aggregating moro than $100,000 were caused by fires set by lightning strokes. It is estimated that* $50,000 damage was done at Flushing, L. I., where 25,000 men and women were within a big en closure witnessing a society circus. Twelve large tents were leveled by the wind and in the stampede which followed six women were trampled and taken to the hospital. At Coney \sland, tents and shacks erected on the site of the recent lire were blown down and some whirled out to sea. At. Paterson, N. J.. 200 big trees were uprooted, carrying down with thom electric light and trolley wires, leaving the city without light orear service for several hours. Ships Swept from Moorings, The Brlt'tt'h t-amp steamer Susque hanna and the coastwise schooner Neille W. Craig did not disentangle themselves until to-day from the col lision hilo which they were brought by last night's storm. The Susque hanna, being even without ballast, waa swept from her anchorage off Stapleton, Staten Island, and carried down stream across the bow of th?? schooner, which was at anchor off Quarantine. The vessels came to ge!! her wtih a crash, carrying away the schooner's headgear and break ing off her bowsprit close to the hull. The damage to the Susquehanna was slight and she was towed back to her anchorage to-day. The Neille W. Craig was bound for Charleston. S. C., and extensive repairs will ho nec essary before she can proceed. / . ?- **~ Tho woman of to-day who has good health, good temper, good sense, bright eyes and a lovely complexion, Ibo result of corroct living and good digestion, wins tho admiration of tho world.

BLUE RIDGE FREIGHT WRECKED Track is Blockaded and Walhalla is (hit Out of Freight and Mail. Yesterday about noon the freight train for Anderson was wrecked on the five-mile hill, between Jordania and Adams's Crossing. The Blue Ridge tracks aro so badly torn up and so many freight cars piled up on them that no trains have been operated since the wreck occurred. It is stated that the engine and eleven cars are derailed and are in such shape that lt will take until 3 o'clock this afternoon, and probably longer, to clear the tracks. Engineer Sam Hutchison was handling the throttle when the wreck occurred, but neither he nor any member of the crew was hurt, lt I? stated that tho wreck was caused by a loaded coal car next to tho en gine jumping the track, derailing thc engine ahead and eleven cars in the rear. When it was learned that the delay would be a long one citizens of Walhalla confidently expected that the Blue Ridge 'would operate trains around by Greenville, but such was not the case, and Walhalla has been completely shut off from (railroad accommodation for about 36 hours. The first mail received hore since the wreck was brought across Hie country from Seneca al 8.1 ;"i o'clock this morning. Probably the greatest. Inconven ience to the people of Walhalla lins been in the matter of ico. Prior to iii" wreck Walhalla was almost fac ing an Ice lamine, and since that time no ice has been procurable save as those fortunato enough to own automobiles have been able to run eight miles to Westminster and Sen eca and take advantage of assistance from friends there.
