The cloudburst turned the big creek
into a torrent which quickly overflowed
the banks and poured a great volume
of water down upon Gradyville. Nearly
every house in the place was washed
away and those who met death were
either drowned or crushed to death in
the houses as they were torn frUMP
their foundation. Every stream In the
vicinity is out of its banks.
The cloudburst did enormous damage
aside from loss of life, all bridges in
this vicinity being washed away and
thousands of acres of corn ruined.
Gradyville has a population of about
150 and is 18 miles from a railroad.

THE WEATHER:
last night.* Several were killed and scores
injured. Twenty-five or 30 homes were
destroyed. Details are meager owing to
all wires being down.
Henry Rook, aged 50, was found crushed
to death in his garden. Mrs. Malinda
Pinkston, aged 45 was found dead in the
branches of a tree some distance from
her home. Members of the family of u.e
two victims were more or less injured.
The number of injured is placed at 30.
Owing to wires being down and bridges
washed away communication with York
is impossible. It is further staled that
40 or 50 houses have been demolished.
The tornado struck the village shortly
after the supper hour and raged for sev-
eral minutes.
Reports from points south of here in.
Indiana say that the storm was severe
and several inches of rain fell, doing >--g
damage. At Farmersburg and Sullivan
bridges and culverts were washed out
and the growing crops injured. The elec-
trical display was unusual, though no
casualities are reported.

In th© corporation court this morning
Henry Patterson, a negro teamster, was
tried before a jury on a charge of cruelty
to animals and was fined $25, which, with
the costs of court increases the penalty
to $44.10. He pleaded not guilty and this
plea cost him $5 extra, for had he pleaded
guilty the county attorney’s fee would
have been $5 instead of $10.
The specific charge with which the ne-
gro was charged was the beating, wiui
the reins, of the two mules he was driv-
ing. While the attorney for the negro
tried to show that a man could not
cruelly whip an animal with the driving
lines it was shown by men who knew
that the drivers become so expert with
cutting the animals with the lines that
they can draw blood with one blow. It
seems the drivers have one rein longer
than the other and with the long rein
some of them lash the mules unmerci-
fully.
It appears the contractors are paid so
much per load for hauling, and the drivers
try to make as many loads a day as pos-
sible, even at the sacrifice of the poor
beasts v7ho bear the burden.
It was charged that the wagon the
mules were hauling was loaded with 3700
pounds of cement and they were being
driven at a rapid pace along the wharves
while the driver was applying the lash.
Complaint was made and Officers
Schmidt and Lyons took after the driver,
who left his team and was on the move
wrhen the officers overhauled him.
The hearing was before a jury, which,
after hearing all the evidence in the case,
was out long enough to write a verdict
of guilty and assess the penalty of a $25
fine.
Chief of Police Perrett has assigned
mounted officers especially to look after
cases of cruelty to animals and the hu-
mane society has no better champion
than the new chief-

Yesterday evening Maj. Jadwin, United
States engineer, forwarded to Washing-
ton the specifications for the jetty work
in the Galveston harbor project. With the
approval of these specifications by the
department bids will be invited for thirty
days. He consented to give out the first
details of the specifications.
These specifications call for the expendi-
ture of $268,000 for the extension of the
jetties, &nd M’aj. Jadwin recommends
that the extension with the funds available
be made on the south jetty. This amount
will be sufficient to extend the jetty
only about 900 feet. But of course it is
anticipated that further appropriations
will be made for this improvement, which
will insure a permanent 30-foot channel
at the mouth of the jetties by the next
congress. It is proposed to extend the
jetties ultimately about a half mile.
There is only one question to be settled
(by the department and that Is whether the
south jetty shall be extended on a straight
line or a slight curve. In his original
project Maj. Jadwin recommended that
the south jetty be extended on a slight
curve to the southeast. In the controversy
which arose over the main Issue as to
whether the $1,000,000 appropriation should
be devoted to jetty extension or dredging
or both the question of straight or curved'
jetty was lost sight of; at least it was
never mentioned by the board of en-
gineers which passed upon the proposition
nor the department. But now that the
main issue has been settled and the jetty
is to ibe extended, the department will
have to say whether construction is to be
along a straight line or with a slight
curve to the southeast.
The specifications forwarded last even-
ing devotes $70,000 to repair work to the
north jetty. These two items will be
given out by contract after bids have
been invited.
But there is also another specification
■ in the document setting aside $160,000 for
repair work to the south jetty, most of
which will be d^ne by day labor by the
government engineering department. Maj.
Jadwin said that in all probability some
of this work will be sub-contracted by
the engineers’ department, ibut the greater
portion of the south jetty repair worje
will be done by the government with d.4y\
labor.
The jetty repairs will complete the re-
construction of these two long arms of
