Karly yesterday morning, shorti.y after midnight, a in. a vy downpour of rain began, accompanied by a seve: J electric itom Whicb violently in created in volume and continued for several hours. This continued throughout the entire day and ni'lit, ad al 10 a. tn.. while the storm I 0 J abated, lowering clouds would iadi täte u terrible downpour at any muin ut. Many miles of tn, Norfolk i We t-

Some of tha drowned arc MBOnaj the most promi rent citizen of the coal fields. The l'ocahontas coal field is located in a basin wit), hijjh mountain ranges on either side, Klkhorn creek Mowing through tin center of the bases, which range from one-fouifi to one mile wide. From Ennls, W to Vivian Yard, W. Va., a dist.inee of ten miles nunncrs' cabins, coal company cotn-nn-saries and coke plants line this ba.dn. Klkhorn creek, being fed by numerous small streams coming from 'hmountain side, rises very rapidly, and this Waterspout PSW so suddenly that the entire basin lietween the I .v.j mountain ranges flooded, and infore the terror-stricken jieople real ir.cd what was upon them, they w.u e carried down by the flood, which swept everything in its path. The little town of Keystone, with a population of about two thousand, seems the greatest sufferer, practically the ertire town being washed away. This town was the principal one in the I'jcalmntas coal tielus, and is located near its center. It was to a great extent headquarters from which the mining population purchased supplies and was also the only place in he fleld where whisky could In- pur chased. At this place there were soma twelve to fifteen t-aloons, all of which were washed away. The report eotnthat the milling population is BOW occupying the banks of streams he. low catching the merchandise an 1 barrels of whisky and bsOI as they float down A great number of the coal and coke plants throughout the POeahOft tus railroad district was practical y destroyed and are in dome instante totally washed away, Owing to Mie veiy high vntr vhieh flooded th; region and prevented communication, anything like a correct estimate of the los of propertj is Impossible, hut from the best information obtainable at 2 p m. Sunday, the loss to property will easily reach $2,000.000. At f.andgraaf, the beautiful home of General Manager Ord is reported gone, but his family is said to I j sa fe.

This will render it impossible to get relief in tin nicken district, and with all those who escaped with Iheir lives, homeless and without food, ladescribabla suffering is inevitable.

Young Hay was one of the van Tuard of the academic class of fall As. He had come to his old colleg; town as a member of his class trien Dial Commencement, and arrived early tr assist his colleagues on the committee in preparing tor the festivities of commencement week in general rnrf for ,,. cUM s,,,,.,,.,- i particular, He took dinner with some o, !ns classmates, and. at eight o'clock, hurried to the Hyperion theater, where he. witnessed the evening per formance. lie spent a quiet hour in the hotel corridor and smoking room after th theater, and shortly after midnight retired to his room, remarking to t BS hotel clerk that he was sleepy, and jeariac a call for nine o'cJoek in the morning. He was not seen again until bis body came whirling throngii the air to Its destruction two and one naif hours later. The hotel where tbe unfortunate young man quartered faces on Chapel street, the principal thoroughfare of the city, and is almost tinder the eavet of the university which he proudly ..aimed as his alma mater. There was u solitary spectator jkt the terrible tragmdy, a laborer on tha city s'reets. At the hour mentioned the work man saw the form of a uma falling through space. An instant 1 1- " , , , , , , . ter the Uidy lay directly in fielt of the main hotel entrance. The hoeriI fled mborer rushed to the spot, and ! his shouts brought- others. The Usual ! RTOWd gathered. In it were several I belated Yale graduates. They benf over the body. One of them, Julian liaaea, a sou of the late Ed ward t. Mason, of Chicago, nod a classmate of young Hay. drew back and, horroritrlcken, ned : ".My (iod; it's Del Hay." By this time the hotel clerk bawl reached the scene, and made the Identification complete. The body was clad in pajamas. On the window sill of the room occupied by young Hay was found 1 partly -consumed cigarette, fhj the floor near the window was a ring worn by the victim was a ring been neatly arranged and the bt-'J clothes were drawn back, The ie,, however, bad not been occupied. Ib re the mystery becomes intangible. The popular theory seems 1o lnne it that the young man, having prepared for bed. thought to tndulftj in a ' good iiiuht -moke;" that Im ehoae the COOl of th window. The pi senee of the ring oa the floor, however, gave rise to the fancy 'bat possibly while toying with the ring, ir, dropped, and that in an effort to recover it, the fail resulted. However it bapponcdj the known facts seem to make it conclusive that it was all a frightful accident. Young Kay, it wna remarked, was in particularly good spirits and h-l planned with BttUSUa enthusiasm to participate in many engag.inent.s this week. In the harbor lies a a lit in which in company of friemls 1 I had promised to join in a trip on Wedneadn) tO New London for thJ Yale-Harvard ioat races on Thursday. In tha college chapel nt the morning service Preatdeat Had ley, in ad dressing the nsemberu of the graduating class, referred to the death ai young Hay as follows: "The truths of (he Scriptural lert and the value f lm'h ideals of mhu hood are borne out by the untimely death of him whom wa mourn to-d iy His lib was not long, hut he under stood Christian honor, tad be helped these about him to maintain it. If he had lived longer lie would have '.elped many more. ' In closing lr. Ifadiej again inferred to Mr. Hay'- death as follow "The deaths of several members oj the present class and of him Whom vi nre now mourning, makes this day always impressive, the more solem.i the BOI e .-acred."
