E. church gave a festival in Blue Ribbon Hall Thursday night. The Sunday school concert which came off Friday night was quite a success, clearing $11. Aunt Lucy Thomas was at church last Sunday night, and from her appearance we think she is looking for a helpmate. We think it looks very bad to see ladles go to church and think themselves too good to sit by the side of their own sect. We hope this will b a warning; m please take heed. The Ladles' Temple or the "mysterious ten will soon be setup, with Mrs. Hannah Martin, W. P., and Mis Annie Smith, secretary. This will make three female societies in our city.

Cards are out for the weddlugof Mr. George Strander to Miss Rosa Gardner; also, Mr. Philip Hatcher to Miss Lottie Ford. The lady is from Yellow Springs. The most interesting event of the last quarterly meeting of the A. M. E. Church, was the baptism of the babes of Mesdames Shaw, Wheeler and Nesbltt; and how affectionately Elder Maxwell, after administering the baptism, impressed a fatherly kiss on each. Well Elder has none of his own to caress. One of the grandest receptions ever given to a colored man in Dayton, was given last week to Mr. Oomer, missionary to Africa, by both the white and colored and white and colored U. B. Church. The music was furnished by the white U. B. Choir. The welcome address was given in a most appreciable manner, by Prof. Day. Other addresses were given by the following white gentlemen: Rev. Morrow, Rev. Ambrose and Mr. Flickenger. Both Mr. and Mrs. Oomer responded. Refreshments were then served to the many invited guests.

H.Jackson delivered an interesting address at Warren Chapel on last Tuesday evening, upon the A. M. E. Church and Sabbath schools. The audience was not very large, but was well received by those present. The young ladles of Toledo are very sympa thetic; ihey generally have a bottle of. cam phor in their pockets, and when a young gen tleman looks sick and frail, they give him a sniff. We saw this tried the other night on R E; it brought him right up. On last Sunday evening Rev. T. II.

J Jadgo Usher gave the history of the famous Gettysburg oration that short and simple prose-poem, which is immortal, and has been compared to the Sermon on the Mount. The President was expected, of course, to say something on the occasion, though Everett was the orator of the day and would deliver the address. Mr. Lino. In was so hurried by busiaers in Washington that he had no time to write out any cotes. So, on the cars, between the National Capital and Gettysburg, upon a piece of pasteboard placed upon his knee, with a great crowd all around him, talking, go&ipiog, laughing and chattering, he wrote the words of whi h Everett said: "I would rather be the author of those twenty lines than to have all the fame my oration to day will give roe." Mysterious Foundering of a Vessel at Sea. New York, Juno 10. News has reached here of the mysterious foundering at sea of the British ship Pehoda, on May 8. about twenty miles northeast of Porto Santo, one of the Maderla Islands. The vessel was from Rio Janeiro to Glasgow, and the circumstances attending the loss show how weak may be a British bull t steamer. The Pehedo was an Iron vessel of l.ttM tons, gross ' register, built at West Hartlepool, England, in 1872; hence the could not be termed an old vessel, irom the statements of twenty-two of the crew who were saved, out of a total of twenty-six, it appears that In a moderate head of sea, she cracked amidships, her oecksbi.ttd up, and she foundered in two minutes afterward. Fifteen of the crew managed to save themselves In one of the boats; seven others were saved by clinging to some of the wreckage, and four were drowned. It is suggested that the name of Washington, (the city, not the father of his country,) be changed to Charity, because it "covereth a multitude of sins." .

DOWI TO DEATH.

A Mighty Storm Makes Many Mourn. The "Waters of Poguc's Run Bursts Over its ISanksaml Submerges a Large Portion of the City. Sweeping Away Thousands of Dollars worth of Property A Treaehe rous .Bridge Jives Away, und Drops its Load of Living Humanity Into the Roaring Torrent Below. Seven Dead Bodies Recovered and Three More Known to Have Gone Down in the Disaster. It is very rarely that tne newspapers are called upon to chronicle such a horrible disaster as that of last Wednesday morning. It is not yet and may never be known how many beings were hurled to their death in a few short moments. No one can realize how much grk'f has been caused, how many homes broken up, how many happy hearts made sad by the flood of last Tuesday night. We clip the following vivid description from the Indianapolis Sentinel of Thursday: Not since the fall cf ItGG has the city of Indianapolis known how terribly destructive are the ravages of a flood. Then much property was swept away, but not a single person's life was lost. The rain of Tuesday afternoon continued throughout the night, and at midnight It seemed to gain new strength, and the water fell, as It were, iu sheets. Shortly alter 3 o'clock yesterday morning a huge black cloud was teen 1u the northwestern heavens, which swooned down upon the city with terrible rabidity. The wind blew, the lightning Cashed, the thunder rolled and the rain fell, if such was possible, faster thau at any time during the night. The gutters, which were already greatly swollen, now burst over their banks. The sewers could not carry the water off, a ad the streets were soon turned into immature lakes. Foot bridges and every movable at tide on the streets were swept away, audit was plain to see the damage would be great. At daybreak the scene in the northeastern portion of the city was simply TECKIBLK TO LOOK AT. I'oue's Run, which was already even with its banks, had ovetilowed, aud that portion of the city Ijing l etween the Pern Railroad and Home avenue wu under three feet vt aier, while the frightert! inhalitai.Ls were paddling about in every conceivable description of water crafts, tiiug to save their household goods. New York, Ohio, Market,.Vashiugioii and Noble streets wer flooded, and many families residing on these streets, wiio were awakend by the noise of the flood, were . compelled to flee to higher ground, leaving their household goodi to the mercy of the waters. The railroad bridge over the rnn Just east oi Ohio street was the first object to show signs of weakness, and several heavy freight cars were soon run upon the structure and held it firmly in position. Then the fence around Cobb fc Bra ham's coal yard on Last Ohio 6 trat gave away and was . swept flown stream. -B this time ' the water was it to the mill and luroter yard of William B Dickson & Co., and pile upon pile of lumber was carried away. As the stream continued to rise the space under the Washington street bridge began todiminish. and In a snort time the lumber had entirely closed ud thu outlet for the water and the maddened current rushed iut i the middle of the streets, carrying destruction with it. The Union tracks from i he Washington street crossing to the Virginia avenue crossiog were under water, and all that portion of the city between Georgia street and the run was Hooded. The bridges acrobs the run at the diflerent streets, and which in dry weatner are none too safe, were at an early hour yesterday morning In a tottering condition, and in several instances gave away. About the Union Lepot everything was excitement and confusion; the news of the terrible flood had marched up town, and by 8 o'clock thousands of persons had congregated along the run between Delaware and Meridian streets. Just east of the depot on the south side of the run is an old frame building, which belongs to the Union Railway Company, but which is occupied by the- Western Union Telegraph Company for storage purposes. There is a doer on the north side of the building opening out on the run, through which alt the goods for storage are taken. The run opposite this door was tpanned by a bridge about twenty feet wide, upon which goods are removed from cars into the house. Upon this FBAIL 6TBTTCTCBE there congregated a large crowd of the sightseekers, who were anxious to get a glimpse of the turbulent waters in their course to the river. Shortly before 9 o'clock Superintendent Whitcomb noticed the crowd upon the bridge, and, fearing it would not bear the weight, warned those upon it to get off ; that he thought it dangerous for them to be there. There were a few who accepted his timely warning, but the majority of those upon it paid no attention to him. At 9 o'clock William Jackson, the Secretary of the Union Company, who was looking after the property of the Company, passed by the building and noticed the crowd upon the platform, and in his kind manner warned them of the great risk they were runuing in standing upon it. As was the warning of Mr. Whitcomb treated, so was that of Mr.Jackson, and as soon as his bock was turned numbers of others crowded upon the rickety old passageway across the waters. It is estimate that at this time not less than thirty- -ve people, men, women and children, were on this platform or bridge, who were in high spirits, watching the muddy stream below, which was rushing by at a tremendous speed, appearing to think but little of themselves or their aangerous surroundings Just twenty minutes after 9 o'clock the structure gave way with a terrible cm h, sending all upon it INTO THE SURGING WATERS. Then ensued a scene that beggars description. The screams of the women, the cries of the children and the pitiful moaning of those in the waters were terrible to hear. When the structure gave away those on the bank seemed be awestricken; for a moment they stood like statues, not moving hand or foot, but as soon as the terrible situation was realized there was a break for the Meridian street bridge, while one brave fellow, named Cyrus Bartlett, threw off his coat and . LEAPED INT TBI STREAM, and in the twinkle of an eye had rescued two young women from watery graves. Others who Lad arrived at the Meridian street bridge were able to drag from the muddy water several others, and in less than five minutes not less than fifteen persons had been rescued from the remorseless stream. At the McNabb street bridge a dozen or fifteen men had stationed themselves te await the coming of those unfortunates who had had strength enough to keep their heads above the water during the passage under the bridge. There were several who came from under MeNabb street, and these were eagerly grabbed by their clothing and pulled to the banks, but the rescuing party at this point was not near large enough, and with cries of horror they saw FIVE WRETCHED BEINGS, two ladles and three men, sweep by them and disappear under the South street bridge, never to appear ugaln above the waters alive. Those who were rescued were almost exhausted, and It was with much difficulty that several of them were brought back to life. Two of the gentlemen who were at tho South street bridge asert most positively that they saw four women swept under the upper end of the bridge, and that they did not come out at the south side of the bridge, andare confident they sank under the bridge. TH08E BE8CCED. It is certainly known that the following persons were rescued : , Mrs. L. O. Hock. Canton, O, Miss Minnie lialser, Canton, O. James Conlln, city. Stanton Orible, city. Frank Oakey, city. Patrick Daugherty, city. Ann1. Senseubrenuer, city. Ruth Hendrickson, city. Florence Lynn, city. Henry Sendo, city. John Eakers, who keeps a store at No. 7 Madison avenue, and his brother Frank, went down with the bridge, but were rescued at the McNabb street bridge. WHAT THE BESCCED SAT. The two first-named ladles were on their way from Canton, O., to Bot Springs, Ark. Mrs.

Tlcck, In a fehort talk with a Sentinel fcribe yesterday, gave a Blight tkrtch ff her teriible ride from the bridge to the South ftrect bridge, where be was rescued. Shi taysthat hrr mouth filed with the muddy water Feveial timc. but she succeeded in keeping her head ebove the water, and just before she ws rescued some person who was fintitg caught her by the ankle, and came near pulling htr under the water, but that she shook herself loose, and jnst then, as her strength was fast falling her, she was rescued. James Conlin, another of the rescued, is employed in the Union Depot dlnirrr hall. Last evening he was seen by a reporter, to w horn he f-ald that It would be impossible for him to give a dcsciiption of the terrible fall and ride on tho bosom of the stream miller the depot to where he was rescued. He saM, "I thought my time had come. 1 never expci. to esaiu pass ttrouph suck a ruspeuseas I did whilo on that voysge under the depot, it was sulF .eMirg, a'd to hear the cries of tho.se wh.i went under the water, never to rise again, Wt s simply horrible, if 1 h;.d not hae takca out when I was, I do not -beüevo that I could have kept alive five miuutcs Tho news of the terrible di.vis er hprcad over the city with lightning -speed, and i.i a sliiirt time there were thousands of ersons cm the grounds, and search was at once instituted for THE STORY OF AN EYE WITNESS. Austin II. Brown saw the platform fall. He had just emeiged from the Eaijle Machine Works oflice, and hearing the crash ran rßpldly toward the scene. He saw twenty help less persons fighting with the raging orrent. Some of those who witnessed the accident offered assistance, but a majority were paralyzed with terror. Some one called to him t i un to McNabb street, and he hastened there to the side of the run. Five persons soon .ame through the bridge; two were swimming for dear life and endeavoring to get out of (he current. It was imjossible to tender assistance to these, and the bystanders saw them carried on to their death. One por fellow strnggltd manfully till he had (lxifed ard swam to a point opposite Mr. Brown's residence, and there after one final unsuccessful struggle for life sink to the bottom. Two others that came out about the same time, but were carried tovard the bank, were rescued, while a third unaided gained terra firma after a manly light. THE DEAD. In a short time those engaged in the work of recovering the victims had found - the following todies: Katie Gilderman, of 251 Shelby street. A. K. Saunders, city, (ieorge W. Smith, Olairmont. Ldward Tilford, of 132 'loürc aveuue. John S. Bcovcll, of Colony, Kas. The bodies of the four first named were removed to the undertaking establishment of Kregelo and the othecto Flanner fc Hommown's establishment, on North Illinois street. WHO THEY ACE. Miss Katie Gilderman was sixieen years of age aid was employed iu the shoe manufactory of Barrett & Elliott, on Soutn Merioian street but as there was no work yesterday she went to the run to see the sights atid happened to be on the fatal bridge. She was a member of the Seventh Presbyterian Church and was much beloved by her pastor and the congrcgati-r.i. A K. Saunders was a young lawyer, who has or quite a time patt beta iu the office of Lambe & Jordon. He was thirty years of age, and was much respected by all wh t knew him. George W. Smith came to this city a short time ago from Clermont, and has. during his short sojourn iu this city, been stopping with his sister at 31 Dougherty street. Eddie l ilford was sixteen years of age, and the sou of S. E. Tilford, aid has been employed far leveral years at A. Keller's drug store, on South Meridian stiect. an "want" b .y. aud was greatly iiked by all who worked in the store, lie left the store at an early hour to mate his usual rounds, and having to visit Waliing .t Co.'s, over to look at the run, and had only just stepped cn the bridge when it gave away. John S. Scovllld resides at (Jolony, Kas He was thirty-five years of age, ai d was spending a few days in this city with his brother. . THE MISSING. All kinds of rumors were Hying about last night regarding the missing, but it is positively known that Cnarles Harmau, a saloon keeper at 417 West Washington street, is among the lost, as he was seen jnst a few minutes before the fatal fall standiufc on the bridge. Patrick O'Brien, who keeps a blacksmith shop on Washington strf et und the ear.al, Is also missing and his friends are confident he li drowned as his hat was f.iuud last evening at the South street bridne and identified Patrick Gavin, a well-known Irishman, living at 479 South Missouri street, is among the mii-sing. Unquestionably he is oi:e of the victims of the awful calamity. He left home Oitcnsib y to vWt Jude Tarkiugton on busintss, a-id in doing so went north on Meridian street. It is possi&le he was attracted to the platform where so many had congregated. He was a gentleman of excellent habits, and his continued absence only confirms the belief that such is the case. He did not call upon Judge Tarkingtou, nor has he been seen since. At 10 o'clock last night there were no tidings from him, aud his family are griefstricken. He was last seen going toward the fatal spot. Three bodies were seen lloatlug in White River, at the mouth of the run, at 5 o'clock last evening, but no one made au effort to rescue them. Hi s thought that they will be recovered during to-day. Damage to Property. The damage that was done to property along the line of the Kun and on the streets that were flooded is exceedingly large, and will not fall short of 200,000. During the afternoon a Sentinel scribe took a trip over the flooded district. The reporter began at New York and Davidsou streets, where the water had hacked up and flooded all the cellars on toe east side of the street from that corner to Washington street, and the loss will foot up thousands oi dollars.

McBride A Co., Walling & Co., and other whitsile dealers on the street, were damaged slightly. NO INSPBANCE. On all of the above losses there is not one cent of insurance, as those who carry insurance only have "fire" policies, never dreaming that a marine policy would be needed in an inland city like Indianapolis, therefore the losd will Jail very neaviiy on almost every one.
