CITY OF AUGUSTA
SUFFERS HEAVILY ,
LOSS MUOH WORSE THAN WAS
EXPECTED. i
Death List Placed at Sixty?Residents
of Submerged Districts in
Great Distress.
Augusta, Oh., Aug. 22.?The flood
water nt Augusta is recoiling rapidly
and as the water loaves the streets *
it is apparent that the loss 1ms been j
underestimated. In addition to the t
disasters already reported it is found <<
that the Riverside mills, damage to <
plant and loos of cotton which float- <1
od away, sustains a loss of $100,000; (
Reid's cotton warehouse, the finest t
in the South, is damaged in a large I
sum, but it. will require a survey to 'I
determine the amount; Triangular li
block, where the wholesale houses are f
assembled, is badly injured. The si
Nelson, Morris & Co. warehouse has li
collapsed and is being razed; the Augusta
Grocery company's building is fi
damaged to the extent of $(>,000; Hill I:
& Merry escaped serious loss; the es- si
tablishments of ('. I). Carr & Co.,
Paul Must.in and Murphy are coin- w
paratively slightly damaged. The ii
National Hisc.uil company building is ci
wrecked. The Contra! Grammar a:
school is badly hurt and the Davidson d
Grammar school is damaged severe- In
ly. u
In addition to Hie fires already re- "
ported it develops thai there were
ten smaller houses burned in different
sections of the city. <'>
As the water goes down further it ('
is feared that damages similar to (lie "
Triangular block damage will devel- 11
op. ^
As to (lie loss of life, 22 bodies J
have been recovered and corpses are
, .11
loiiud every hour nr so. The captain
of the river steamer Swan, which got. ^
in today, reports that lie saw, on (lie
up (rip, at least 2~> corpses, all negroes,
except one.
Siu-re are reports of many drownings
among negro farm hands in the
lower valley. The Chronicle eslimat- tl
es the death list at (50.
The citizens in mass meeting, the
city council in special session and the
board of health in special session
have taken measures to relieve the
distress. Citizens are subscribing to
a I mid to help the poorer people in
the submerged districts, for portions
of the town are still under water.
There is sure to be great suffering
and relief must be quick to prevent
starvation swelling the death list. In
some districts people unable to leave
their houses have not tasted food
since Wednesday night. Augusta is
trying hard lo measure up to the demand
upon her. At the public meetings
today it \V;is decided oof to make
an appeal tor outside assistance, hut ,
to accept any cont riluit ions offered.
It is a question if the citizens, meeting
and city council did not err in declining
to make a public appeal for assistance
and many believe they will
yet be compelled to ask aid of the
outside world. It is certain that the
mayor will gladly accept contributions
and lie so publicly said iu reply
to Atlanta's inquiry today.
The immense cotton manufacturing
establishments are not only idle because
of the breaks in the canal
banks but they have received flood
damage.
The water reservoir is full. Its capacity
is (50,000,000 gallons. Hut the
service pipes are broken and the citsis
without water. The gas supply is
nearly restored.
The electric companies will start
up iu 12 hours, using steam power
instead of water power. Blectrie
lights will not be turned on for a
week.
There was a pathetic incident in
connection with the drowning of
Marry Carr. His brother, C. D. Carr
ot C. 1). Carr & Co., whose warehouse
is opposite the burned Nixon
warehouse, from his ollice saw Harry
drown and was powerless to give a
helping hand.
The known dead are: Harry Carr,
bookkeeper for the Nixon Grocery '
company; Horace Wingard, pressman '
for M. It. Williams & Co.; James liar- '
ris, colored; Caesar llarvery, colored;
Kelson Thomas, colored; Lee
Hatcher, colored; B. Davis, colored; u
Jesse Hawkins, colored; Harry Cailes, '1
colored; John Holmes, colored; '
John Robinson, colored; Dennis Rar- s
hie, colored; Josiah Glover, colored;
Tom Jones, colored; Ed. Ow*ns, colored.
t

Total damage from $1,000,000 to ji
$2,000,(^00. i;
I amage to city property $200,000 v

Damage to residences $50,000.
Probable loss in wages to mill op
ru lives and other $.",0,000.
Loss by fires $50,000.

Household Hints.
Alter starched garments hav<
'een ironed they should be hung in
he sunshine to thoroughly dry, awl
hat the sun may lake away any yolnv
spots caused by loo hot irons,
1* ish scales can be easily removed
y pouring hoi water over tho fisli
nlil the scales curl, then scrapc
uickly. Wash in several waters,
aving the last water cold and well
alted, so that there will be 110 slime
:>ft.
A good method to adopt, if anyhing
which is being cooked in the
aucepan becomes burnt during the
irocess, is to stand llie pan immcdalely
into a basin of cold water,
I liicli will have tlie effect of enlirelv
liminating the burnt tast.e.
A pound of meat to a quart of
i'ater is the correct proportion to use
II making a good broth, a large measire
of success depending 011 the
'slowness willi which it is allowed lo
come lo a boil and the care which is
- devoted to skimming.
Lace window curtains should always
he soaked for an hour in cold (
water, to which a little borax has .
been added, before being: put in warm
3 suds. This gets out the smoky smell
that is so noticeable in curtains that ;
3 have been in use in a town.
When a big- ironing has to be done,
what a comfort and relief it is to 1
the feet to use a cushion to stand on
> while ironing. It can be made from
an old quilt folded and covered by a }
- piece of carpet. Until it has been
c tried, uo one can believe the rest it
t Is to tir?d feet.
r To whiten kitchen tables, floors,
f et*r.: Mix together half a pound of
t Hand, half a pound of soft soap, and "
' four ounces of lime. Work all into
a paste with a stick. When scrubbing
lay a little on Die board and scour as j
I usual. Afterward wash the wood with
plenty of clean water. Wood thus
I treated can be kept spotlessly clean.
In making mustard, it is a good I ,
plan lo add a pinch of salt before
mixing in the water. A spoonful of
: vinegar should always be used to moisten
the dry mustard in the first I
instance, while a better result can be E
attained by stirring in warm water
instead of cold when the mustard is
not required in haste. j
A carpeted floor may be much improved
by brushiii'T it with dampened (
newspapers. The paper should first v
be torn into small pieces and soaked
in a little water, the moisture* being
squeezed out as much as possible. The i
damp ends of paper may then be scat- I
| tered over the floor?as is usuallv
! done with stale tea-leaves?and a
stilt carpel brush used in the ordinary j,
' manner.
s
Whistler's Unmarked Grave.
I Whistler is buried not in Chiswick c
Jchurchyard. where Mogarth lies, but
Jin (lie cemetery that adjoins it. Xo
stone marks the grave of the artist,
which ils almost hidden by carefullv
J tended flowers.
j A little fence of wooden trellis pro- s
i tects it. and over fence and crave
tr:?i 1 i11ivy. geraniums and honey- j (
suckle grow luxuriantlv. The crave
is beside the high wall of the cemc:
I cry and partly sheltered bv a wild J
plumb tree, overgrown .just now by
creepers that have sprung up close <.
lo the boundary. Beyond the wall i
rise ancient yew trees aim the more (
ancient tower ot Chiswick church, r
but modernity asserts itself in the
incessant ratfline and hammering i
Irom the lorpedo-boat works, whose
lonir ranges of black buildings scp- c
arale these peaceful acres from the
adjacent river. ?
