In conu';ctiou with the great utiDre In tho coal-mine region, the government has cautioned employers to consider all Justifiable complaints, and warns the striken that any riotous demonstrations will bo vigorously suppressed. Tho government has decided not to I proclaim the mining districts In a state of siege. .; Tho mica owners held a meeting at Essen and ' resolved to negotiate with tho strikers.

Losdojt, May 11. In an Interview to-day Gen. Boulanger said that if the French government Intended to prolong tho sitting of tho Chamber . of Deputies until next year, its action would be equivalent to a coup d'etat arainst universal suffrage, and It would be the duty of every citizen to rta in opposition, He declared that ho would not bo the last man to rise in case such action should be token by tho government. Cable Notes. Judge Etallo, the retiring United States intnls- ' : ter, toklay presented his letters of recall to King Humbert. M. Durnovo, director of charities, will succeed the late Count Tolstoi as Minister of the Interior, department of Russia. The Tope is indisposed. His Holiness is sufferving from the effects of the sorocco which has been prevailing for some days. Herbert Eltinner, a gunner in the marine - artillery service of England, has fallen heir to 532,000 in money and a large landed property In Hereford. Ten thousand French weavers employed In the cotton factories at Thlsey, department of the Rhine, have gone on strike. Fears are entertained that the strike will extend to Lyons. The Germin Reichstag has read for the second time the aged workmen's insurance bill, adopting the measure substantially in the form approved by the committee. The promptitude of its passage was due to the absence of many opposing deputies. THE PAVEMENTS OP PAEIS. They Are Almost 5oIseles3 and Clean a? a Floor, with Nothing' to Soil Skirts or Shoes. Special to the Indianapolis Journal Paris, May 2. How clean the streets of . Paris are! The moment an American gets into London he is struck with the soothing fctillnesa of the pavements. The great stages and drays slip along with no noise Imt that occasioned by tho tap of the horses' hoofs. In Paris to this silence is added perfect cleanliness. The streets leing paved with asphalt or wooden blocks, it is not difficult to keep them from lirt, but I imagine the means to do so are ten times the capacity of ours in New York. Small Iboys in flannel uniforms, resembling somewhat our district telegraph messengers, are stationed . at regular intervals all through the busy portion of the city to sweep up all litter, and there are standing posts or iron along the edges of the street into which all this - is thrown. Then, on all the wide avenues hose of enormous length, made of jointed copper, and moTed about on wheels, are v" fbeing constantly used to lav the dost. The (result is that all Paris is liko a huge ball j room, and a lady revels, while here, in the luxury of clean skirts and shoes. That accounts, X think, for the very elegant white ekirts and dainty hosiery that the French girls cannot help exhibiting as they go skipping over a crossing. It is most frequent that one sees a lady in the thinnest --of , slippers with delicately tinted silk stockings, and with white skirts that are wonders on wonders of snowy lace-work. This airiness andpureness of attire naturally beautifies the street scenes, and as a result there is no comparison of a promenade here on a sunshiny afternoon with , one in London or New York. Tho glimpse of ankles, the snowy clouds of lace erabroideries, tho glistening French slippers. '.frivo a seaside freshness to the picture, and w&' Americans find .ourselves wondering, hhouid ail the women in New York conceive of the possibilities of polished sidewalks and crossings, if they wouldn't soon bring our street - cleaning department to its senses.

Prof. C. F. Patterson deserves credit for his earnest work while here. Indiana to Have a Large Oil Refinery. Cleveland, May 11. Officials of the Standard Oil Company in this city have been very quiet over the move toward building a refinery at or near Chicago. It was learned that the town at which this huge plant is to be erected is Whiting, Ind., seventeen miles from Chicago, and Just over the line from Illinois. This is expected to be the largest refinery in the world, and will look over the Western and Southwestern trade. The Cleveland plant will remain intact. The officers for the new works have not been selected yet. but it Is definitely decided that Mr. Cowan ' will have charge of them. The pipe-line from - Lime., O., has been completed six months, and it has been found that this Ohio crude oil, which had been declared to be of little value, can be re- - lined, and this will be the mission of the Whiting refinery. Already steam punches and sheet-lnm rollers have been shipped from the Cleveland works to Whiting. The officers will be located at Chicago. United Brethren Conference.' York, Fa.. May 11. The third day of the General Conference of the United Brethren Church was called to order by Bishop W. Castle, of Indiana. The committee to whom was referred the Coufes.ion of Faith and the revised constitution submitted a report favoring the adoption of the revised laws. Itev. Mr. Floyd submitted a minority report, and a long debate on tho question followed. The subject was still under discussion at the adjournment of the session. At tho afternoon session the report of the committee recommending tho adoption of toe new Confession of Faith was supported by 110 to 20. Tbe radical are opposed to tne clause allowing local churches to use discretion In relation to secret societies. The constitution strictly forbids any connection with such societies. s v olose of the McoUh-Irish Congress. Columbia. Tenn., May 11. The Scotch-Irish cotitrress closed to-day. Congressman Benton McMillan made a Hue speech, deelar- '- ing that tfco rebuilding of tho South from the ruins of the war was due largely to the descendants of tho ecotch-Trish.

PROTECTION IN THE SOUTII

The Young Men of That Section Ready to Break for Progress and Prosperity, The Future Full of Possibilities for Their Protected Industries, While the Past, Under Democracy, Contained Only Misery. Mr. Wanamaker Wants an Improved Mail Service Before One-tent Postage. TheBehrings Sea Dispute "Mrs. Harrison Giving1 the White House an Overhauling The President Takes a Vacation. A HOPEFUL PROTECTIONIST. Young Men of the South Looking Into the Future How the President Is Regarded. Special to the Indianapolis Journal Washington, May 11. Mr. J. J. Ivins, editor of the Athens (Tenn.) Post, who recently abandoned Democracy and brought his paper, one of the. oldest in the South, over to the Kepnhlican party has been in Washington several days looking after some private business. In answer to a question to-day as to the political situation in his section, be said: 'Protection, as a distinct policy of government to be fixed and continued, has been growing constantly since its very thorough disenssion last year, and is now the question uppermost in the Southern mind. This is particularly true in Virginia, Tennessee and Alabama, where the immense natural wealth of iron, coal, copDer, zinc, marble, slate, timber, etc., is yet to be uncovered and utilized. This will be done, we think, under the wiso system of laying discriminating duties that has already made the conntry great and prosperous, and onr people are coming to understand this more and more as they are able to get out of the heavy atmosphere of the past The old-line Whigs are still for a tariff, though some of them are unable to break the bond of sentiment which alone holds them to Democracy, "Happily, the younger element in the South and that element is coming to the front is giving thought to material progress, to the industrial advancement of our section. There are thousands of men all over the South who do not believe in the Democratic doctrine of accidental protection for revenue only. They know that means free trade, and that free trade means industrial destruction. A positive system that protects and thereby develops internal affairs will find supporters in the coming contests in these men of whom I speak, the men of young blood who look ahead into the future and what it has in store rather than backward into, a past that was full enough, God knows, of bitterness, misery and woe. I have faith that the events of last week in New York will result in much good toward dissipating sectional prejudice. No such thing should exist. Ve want a national Union. I believe Depow's oration will prove a great leveling force in the work in hand. Tho South is a grand section of a grand country, and Republicanism there is growing fast, notwithstanding what the Southern aovernors have said. I thin): Tennessee can be safely counted a Republican State in future calculations. "Alabama is now in acondition of political revolution. Virginia gives us ex-Gov. Walker as the advance guard of a determined break for progress and prosperity, and, iu fact, the Democracy is trembling all Tound. The President is a patriot, and with both houses of Congress at his back, he should have no trouble in satisfying the country, lie is the most popular man in America to-day, and. I have confidence, will become almost a public idol. "Democrats are as anxious to see official changes now as are the Republicans. I hope they will be made rapidly. It is a question of party responsibility, and tho country, having voted lor a change, expects to see "it very promptly done. Any other policy is almost a proclamation that the President was elected by a party too illiterate and poorly qualified in business ways and general intelligence to furnish men competent to fill the offices. I am in no seuse a spoilsman and for myself would accept no oflice under tho sun, nor have I any favors of that kind to ask for any one else but I think the retention of Democrats now in the government places is a reflection upon the Republican party, which, fairly interpreted, would seem to say, there is no merit," capacity or responsibility in the household; we must go outdoors for confidential friends It is right to go slow, and the President, I presume, is only getting tho proper 'lay of the land.' The negro problem, about which wo bear so much, will solve itself. The negro is at home in the South, and although Governor Alcorn thinks poorly of him, ne will work out his own material salvation. All he asks, 1 think I may say, is that he be protected in his civil ana political rights, in social affairs the negro is unobtrusive to a striking degree. The race has made wonderful progress and deserves much credit. Wherever education has been possible, the negro has developed ;good, strong intelligence, and has done, in his unlettered conditionabout as well as -white men similarly situated. Any political movement, South or North, looking to the elimination of the negro from participation in party afl'airs is worse than absurd. No practical politician would think of such a thing, and uo humanitarian will now attempt to circumscribe and drive backward a race of people making such rapid progress in the ascending scale of civilization and enlightenment. 1 have no doubt of the future in politics so far as pertains to the South. With protection and education in the forefront, and a sound financial policy by the administration, the Republican party will carry three, at least, of tho Southern States in the next contest, and the solid South, as a political factor, will be heard of no more forever. Progress, prosperity, the enlightment of the masses, and tho building up of a grandor country than wo have yet seen will follow." PENNY POSTAGE. The Postmaster-General Wants a Better Mail Service Before Rates Are Reduced. Washington, May 19. There are indications that attempts are being made to bring public sentiment to bear upon tho authorities in behalf of 1-cent postage. Many corporations having large correspondence put into their letters small slips bearing the following: Are you in favor of 1-ccnt postage! A littlo cflort on the part of each one of u will nocuro it. Write to your Congressman or to Mr. John Wananiuktr, Postmaster-general, Washington, requesting that letter postage he reduced to 1 ceut. One of those slips was shown to Post-master-general Wanamaker to-day by an Associated Press reporter, and ho was asked if tho department mail showed any response to the suggestion. "Not yet," he said. "So far as I have been iiuormed but one letter on the subject has reached here." "Are 3ou m favor of reducing letter postage to 1 cent, or will you recommend itP was asked. "When 1 was appointed," said the Postmaster-general, speaking slowly, "I was impressed with the idea that peunypostage. as it is termed, was very desirable, and I came into tho department predisposed in its favor. Iu fact, 1 thought it oimht to be established at once. Hut when 1 learned of the poor condition of the service, onecent postage receded into tho dim distance. When I discovered that there are many f daces in this country which receive a mail mt once a week, ana that not always regularly, it seemed to mo that what was needed most by all concerned was frequent and regular servico from the Tostoihcc Depart menu rosiago in mis country is as low as that of any country in the world. Penny postage iu England is really two-cent postage In onr money. or the present I prefer to conduct the business of tho do-

partmenton the principle of tho sleeping-

car companies not to reduce the rate, but to improve tne service. THE SEAL FISHERIES. Ignorance of the Canadians in Discussing the Behring Sea Proclamation. Special to the ImUttn&polis Journal. Washington, May 11. Tfio discussion in the Canadian Parliament regarding the President's proclamation warning marauders to steer clear ox uennng sea, and against trespassing on our sealing grounds, is amusing. The ignorance shown in charg ing Secretary Blaine with being the cause of the President's proclamation is only in keeping with their ignorance on the seal subject generally. The President's proc lamation was issued according to law. in compliance with an act of Congress passed the last day of the last session of Congress. Canucks will please take notice. Meeting Mr. T. F. Ryan, of Indiana, a for mer special agent of the Treasury Depart ment to Seal islands, your correspondent asked what he thought of the Canadian seal protest. He replied: "The Canadians, true to the English idea, want the earth; that's alb Besides, it seems hardly possible for them to separate in their minds the seal from the everlasting cod. If you desire to crive the nnblic. esneciallv the Canadians. some information that will show them the difference between cod-tishine and sealhunting, I refer you toa batch of evidence taken beforo a committee of the last Congress on our merchant marine and seal fish eries." Looking up the book of evidence alluded to, the letter to the Secretary of the Treas ury is found, the last portion of which reads as loiiows: "The number of seals taken bvmarauders from Seal island, or in the waters near by. are very few in comparison to the great number taken in the water, from fifty to sixty miles south of the islands. Old sealhunters seldom bother the islands, and from information to be had. 05 ner cent, of seals taken by seal-hunters in Behring sea are taken at a distance of from forty to seventy-five miles south of St. Georgers island, and 90 per cent, of those taken are cows, tho producers. The male seal (the class taken by the Alaska Commercial Company for their skins) is lazy, and sticks close to the islands durinc his sum mer stay, and but for heavy rains, or a hot sun, would seldom leave the islands at all, while the cows are constantly on the go to the feeding-grounds, leaving their young to the watchful care of the old bull seals. While the female seals are protected by law from being killed, within the past seventeen years the lessees have taken about 1,700,000 male Reals, and yet the increase of female seals on the breedinggrounds is not very perceptible, showing, I think, that they have been taken as I have indicated, by being more at the mercy of tho hunters than the male seal. If there is no law to prevent the wholesale slaughter of the female seal, their extermination within ten, or, at the furthest, twenty years, is certain. AT THE WniTE HOUSE. Mrs. Harrison Engaged in Cleaning House, and Overhauling Things Generally. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, May 11. The inmates of. the executive mansion are indulging in house-cleaning. This is going on under the personal supervision of Mrs. Harrison and her sister, Mrs. Lord. The carpets in some parts of the house have been taken up and matting is being put down in their place. The curtains and hangings are down, and the woolens are packed away where the moths will not reach them. Since returning from New York Mrs. Harrison has felt very much better than at any time since the inauguration, and she is turning her attention to the arrangements of many of the interior decorations of the old mansion, which is to be her home for four years at least. The fact that Mrs. Harrison does not require the services of a housekeeper has excited some comment among her acquaintance in Washington. It is an unusual thing for the first lady of the land to go about the executive mansion directing the affairs of the household and taking a hand when there is a good deal of work to do. Mrs. Harrison receives a number of callers every afternoon. Mrs. Harrison is determined she will have more room in the White House, if possible. The other day she made a tour of the garret, and found several rooms on the floor next the roof, filled with old books and public documents. They were covered with dirt and cobwebs. She consulted the President, and determined to clean out the place. Wagon loads of stuff were taken away. Much of it were journals of Congress, ruuning back a o.uarter of a century, and reports from the various executive department 8. It is probable t hat the turning out of this trash will make a healthier atmosphere around the executive mansion. It will, at least, give more room to tho family. NEW OFFICIALS. Special Agents of the Land Office Gossip About Coming Changes. Washington, May 11. Irving G. Caldwell, of Cincinnati; S. W. Lamping, of Grand view, Ind.; Jceph II. Magner, of Paris, 111,; Geo. C. Smith, of Kansas City, and Thomas II. Taylor, of Caldwell, O., have been appointed special agents in the General Land Oflice. At the conference between the President and Secretary Windom on Thursday last throe gentlemen were selected for appointment as auditors of the Treasury. It wasnot settled, however, whose places they should take. There are five nuditorships available, the incumbents having resigned. The positions most likely to be filled first are the first, fourth and lifth auditors, now held respectively by Messrs. Chenowith, Shelley and Eickhoff. The latter lias been appointed lire commissioner in New York city, and left here last evening to assume the duties of that oflice. Third Auditor Williams has strong influence, and probably will be the last of the Democratic auditors to be disturbed. Charles F. Gilliam, of Ohio, chief of the stationery and accounts division of the Pension Oflice, has resigned. MINOR MATTERS. Treasurer Huston Sworn In, and the Counting of the Cash Is Immediately Begun. Specla! to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, May 11. Hon. James N. Huston took the oath of Treasurer of the United States at half-past 2 o'clck this afternoon. This was the celebration of the fortieth anniversary of his birthday. Ho immediately named Geo. W. Robinson, of Mt. Vernon, Ind., as his representative in tho count of the cash on hand, and a representative of the department, A. T. Huntington, chief of the division of loans and currency, was also named. The Treasurer had on hand, when he opened business this morning. Sl91.071.UT6 in cash. As soon as the doors to the cashier's room were closed, at 2 o'clock, and the public shut out, the representatives named entered behind the counter and assumed charge, and began to count the cash there. It will take from four to six weeks to complete the work of counting the money. Immediately after Mr. Huston took tho oath he repaired to his oflice on the first floor, in the north side of the Treasury Bnildiutr, and a large force of the employes tiled in and were introduced to him. Twenty Naval Cadets Asked to Resign. Washington, D. C.May 11. To-day's mall from the Navy Department included a batch of letters calculated to convey dismay and disappointment to twenty cadets, who, after applying themselves to study at the Naval Academy for several years, now find themselves again in private life. These cadets failed to pass the exainJnaiion In tho fourth class last winter, and tho department report granted them leave of absence with permission to try a?aln, and to join the fourth class which is to bo examined this month.

It may be thatl President and Mrs. Harrison will not return to Washington until Tuesday morning. If the weather continues pleasant down the Potomac, around the Chesapeake bar and in the vicinity of Fortress Monroe, they wiD. Uusrcr until Monday night and reach Washington on Tuesday moruiupr. Mondays are the rrivata days of the President, and ho can, If he cuooseHj take one more day of rest and do no injustice to the public. Secretary Windom continues indisposed.

Settlers Staking Out Claims by Permission of the Government Exodus from Oklahoma. Pierre, D. T., May 11. For some time hundreds of settlers havo been lying in wait along the Sioux reservation for the appointment of the Sioux commission, and recently, when the news was received, many of them went on the reserve and staked out their respective claims. The matter was called to the attentien of the Interior Department officials," and now a dispatch from Washington announces that settlers will not he molested by tho government if they go on the reservation peaceably, pick out the land and make no disturbance, as it is only a question of time when the lands will be ceded and thrown open. In consequence of this news, the last few days has developed a great rush for tho best parts of the reservation. Claim shanties and improvements are beginning to speck the country across the river from Pierre, and with the news of the government's position in regard to going on the reserve, there is no telling what the next week or two will develop. A number of "prairie schooners" have arrived in Chamberlain from the Oklahoma country, and are camped north of that town on American creek, where they intend to remain until the Sionx reservation is thrown open to settlement. Judging by reports that are being received from along tne lino lueso arrivals aro but the beginning of a considerable exodus from the Oklahoma country. Permission Has Not Been Granted. Washington, May 11. Secretary Noblo was shown a dispatch from Pierre; D. T., dated today, in which it was said that many settlers had entered tho ioux reservation and 6taked out claims, in anticipation of a favorable result of the pending negotiations with the Indians for a cession of a large part of their territory, and that permission to enter the reservation and select claims had been grauted by tho officials of the Interior Department at washiugton, provided it was done peaceabl. When asked if iermission had been given as ttated, the Secretary said that no Mich authority had been given. The public surveyor of one of the boundary lines of the reservation, he said, has been suspended teniporarly, pending negotiations, for fear of creating alarm or disgust among the Indians. He expressed tlio hope that the report of settlers , entering the Indian lands would prove to be unfounded, as it mifcht seriously embarrass the commissioners in negotiations, but if found to be true, tho action of the department would be prompt and effective.

Several Fatalities and Many Narrow Escapes in the Vicinity of Pittsburg. Houses Torn from Their Places by an Ava lanche of Water, and the Streets Blockaded with DebrisDeadly Lightning. PlTTSEURG. May 11. Reports of damage by last night's terrible storm are coming in to-day from all parts of Allegheny county, and in fact from nearly every place in eastern Ohio and western Pennsylvania. Tho loss, however, cannot be approximated at this time. Farms were washed out, houses, fences and trees along the banks of streams were swept away, and land-slides occurred on nearly every road leading out of Pittsburg. Two children of Conrad Schaefl'er, aged three and seven years, respectively, of Spring Garden, a borongh north of Allegheny, were spept away by the flood, and Mr. and Mrs. Schaefler narrowly escaped from meeting the same fate. Their house stood near Butchers run, the scene of the frightful disaster of fifteen years ago, when 200 persons were t swept to death by the angry waters. When the banks overflowed last night the Schaeffer house was moved from its foundation, and the family left the house and took shelter under some trees. In running out of the house the children, both girls, were caught by the current and carried away. Mrs. Schaefler became so frantic on seeing her children in the run that she got in the water, too, and was almost drowned. Tho bodies of the children were recovered. A physician was called to seo Mrs. Schaeffer, who was removed to a neighbor's house, but it is not thought she will recover. Two other children in the family were saved. One boy, seventeen years of age, who had his leg broken two weeks ago, wascompelled to remain in the house. Another boy escaped from the house and was saved by holding to a fence. The bodies of two men were found this morning, making four deaths so far reported. Tho remains of John Dougherty were discovered at the mouth of a culvert at Wood's run, wedged in between some logs. lie . left his home shortly .after midnight to see how high the water was, and had gone but a short distance along the banks of the swollen stream, when he was struck and carried away by a bridge which had been swept from its foundations. He was fiftytwo years of age and married. The second fatality occurred in the Butcher's run district. John Conner went down in the cellcrof his house during the storm, and did not return. When the waters subsided his body was found lying in the coal vault. This morning East street and Madison aveuue, in the Butcher's run district, are complete wrecks, while tho numberless cross streets are completely tilled with debris. Cars are lying on the tracks unable to be moved and completely hemmed in by banking and rubbish. The water in the run ran so fast that the residents feared a repetition of tho disaster of 1874, and as soon as the first shock passed away and tho terrified inhabitants had caught their breath they immediately made preparations to vacate the premises. Every ellort was mado to save the furniture on the first floors while the water washed and splashed in the cellar below. Rivulets, brown colored and dirty, dashed into tho cellar windows in miniature torrents. A large number of butchers were heavily damaged. Their slaughter-houses were ruined, wnile their stocks of meat were destroyed. Louis Zollers's case was but one of many. At an early hour this morning he secured all the hands he could get, lloated his wagons before the door and speedily tilled them tip. Shoeless and hatless. and their pants rolled above their knees, tneT perspiring workmen plodded and waded through the slime, almost knee-deep, and transferred tho property The same tale of terror and destruction comes from Saw-mill run, Wood's run, Chartier's valley, tho West End, South Side, Pleasant valley and Lawrenceville districts. The lightning played havoc all night long. A stable belonging to Fred Hampke, on Mt. Oliver, was struck and consumed. Fourteen horses and two cows were cremated. The loss is $10,000. A South-side street-car caught a bolt. The passengers were electrified, but not seriously hurt. Telegraph and telefihone wires were deranged throughout a arge section of country. The postal wires were all down East and the Western Union was badly crippled. This morning trains were late on all the roads, but all were open and running except the Washington, Pa., branch of the Baltimore & Ohio, The rainfall was nearly three inches in thrco hours, and the Ohio river rose three feet in as many hours. While no definite figures can be given on the loss at this time, it is safe to say that it will reach a half million dollars in the immediate vicinity of Pittaburg. Intelligence of the thrilling escape of two women and four children, about 11 o'clock last night, comes from Nine-mile run, near Salt8burg, up the Baltimore & Ohio road. Joseph Blume. his wife, nieco and four children, lived in a large shanty-boat, moored about a quarter of a mile from the Monongaheia river. At this point a B. & 0. bridge crosses the run. Last night Air. Blume went to a meeting at Port Perry, and at an early hour the women and children retired to sleep. The rising water tore the boat from its moorings and carried it down stream. A big Newfoundland dog awoke Mrs. Blume by its barking. Discovering her position, she undertook to catch projections with a line, but failed. Neither could people on shore, to whom she called, render any assistance. With death staring her and her young children in the face, the brave woman calmly waited until the boat nearedtho brid ge, hoping it would clear the piers. Suddenly there was a shock The boat 6truck and was shattered almost to atoms. Before it went down, however, she threw two children ashore, and, taking the two youngest in her arms, followed. 311S3 lraver8, Jlr. Blume's nieee, also escaped. A moment afterward the boat disappeared. I he dog which had saved their lives by giving the alarm was killed in the wreck. A great deal of damage was done in Pleasant Valley, Allegheny county, as the rain poured down over the hillsides, converting the streets into channels for turbulent rivers, varying from a few inches to several feet in depth, reaching from wall to wall. Wrecks ana debris were on the street by tho wagon-load. A number of streetcars were unable to get to tho stable, but were stopped on Taggart street by the immense amount of earth dumped, on the tracks. A number of passengers returning from theaters and elsewhere, in order to keep out of the drenching rain, had gone beyond their accustomed stopping-places, expecting to return in the cars. They had a strange experience. Whero the cars wee blockaded the water was nearly two feet deep, and it poured in through the doorways and over the floors. The unfortunate passengers took ref nice from the invading waters by standing on the seats. The ladies were in a state of great alarm. Tho drivers and other employes of the road were wading about in water above their knees, while they were being soaked above by the drenching rain. The cars were delayed for two hours. At McKeesport the storm did thousands of dollars' worth of damage in the Crooked run district. Fifty houses were moved from their foundations, and several toppled over and were demolished. People had to seek the hillsides to escape drowning, while largo numbers of horses and cattle wero drowned, and many children were taken out of beds floating in the second story of houses, and their lives saved. Twenty-tivo car-loads of debris is lodged at tho iron bridge blockading Fifth avenue. It consists of lumber, wagons and household goods. No lives were lost, but there were many narrow escapes. On the Pittsburg, McKeesport & Youghiogheny road a freight train was wrecked bv running into a landslide, and Patrick Miskell, a brakemati, was killed. This makes five deaths directly attributable to the flood. At Ridgeway, in Elk county, Mrs. W. N. McNeill and her children were killed by lightning.QMrs. McNeill lived with her husband and children in the suburbs of the borough, and when the storm arose, at about 2 p. M.. she took her children into the cellar for safety. The deadly fluid struck the house and passed into the basement, in -stantly killing the mother and her thrco babies. At 5 o'clock when Mr. McNeill returned from his work he was nearly prostrated by thefrightfnl spectacle that awaited him. A special from Beaver Falls, Pa., states that tho body of the two-year-old daughter of Newton Bectly. who resides on the banks

of Walnut run, was found to-day in a pilo of driftwood. It is believed sho was swept from the bank during the storm last evening. Car Shops Damaged.
