CASUALTIES

With the subsidence of the waters, which during Sunday night, Monday and Tuesday overwhelmed a greater part of New England, figures of loss?? sustained are coming in, and from those received it 1b apparent that the tou.. damage in the section will be considerably more than $2,000,000. Six lives have been lost. Fire in the Bozeman tunnel at Helena, Mont., is still burning, and the damage is beyond estimate. Passengers, baggage and express are being transferred over the mountains by wagons. Fire broke out in the Cleophas cot.' mine at Kattowitz, Prussian Silesia. The bodies of twenty-one victims of the conflagration have already been recovered, but the fate of the miners entombed, numbering about 100, is still uncertain. J. W. Rosenberry. aged 45. a wellknown citizen, was killed at Kendall ville, Ind., by the accidental discharge of his revolver.
