Miiue Thorn lull, a/.-d 1 i. is dead
at Norman, Okla Her oldest, son is
I h i veuri old and lives at Nonuau.
plttsbv'ko, Pa., July 20 —Eight per-
sons were drowned in the flopd lion-
day night. Seven of these met death
at Cecil, a mining and oil hamlet in
Washington county, the eighth victim
going down at Carnegie.
Samuel McKinuey kept a boarding
house at Cecil for the accommodation
of oil men and miners. The house
was situated on the banks of Millers'
run, a tributary of Chartier's creek.
Ordinarily the run, which Hows
through a valley banked by high and
steep hills, would scarcely tloat a chip,
but a cloudburst filled its closely con-
fined quarters to such an extent that
everything along its bank was endan-
gered.
There were thirteen people in the
McKiiiney house when the water com-
menced to rise at 0:30, but no serious
danger was apprehended aud the men
busied themselves carrying the house-
hold goods to the second floor, while
tho female portion of the household
coafinned their dressing for the dance
which was being Held in a neighbor-
ing hall. Suddenly the house, a two-
story frame, was washed from its
foundation into the seething waters
and carried down stream.
It was then too late for anyone in
the house to escape. Below the site
of the house, about 200 yirds, stands
an old-fashioned country bridge
which spans the stream. The house
crashed against this structure, the
roof was torn off and the rest of tho
building was crushed like au eggshell
in being forced under the bridge.
Higgins and William Whitner were
caught between tiie first and second
floors. Higgins died there, but Whit-
ner made a most miraculous escape.
Those on the second floor were badly
squeezed.
Jnst below the bridge the wreckage
of the house stuck on ti sandbar with
those of the party who were still alive
clinging to the pieces, with scarcely a
hope of being rescued. Thomas Hayes,
Vincent Wilkinson and others formed
a rescuing party. Whitner was res-
cued, while fast iu the wreckage, by
Wilkinson, who also dragged the dead
body of Higgins from its lodgment.
Samuel McKinney was also saved by
Wilkinson. After assisting in other
rescues. Wilkinson heard a ury
for help from up the stream
and, notwithstanding the extreme
hazard attached to the attempt,
the brave fellow made the effort to
swim across with a rope When about
fulf way over a log struck him on the
head and broke his neck llis body
was found several Isuudred yards be-
low the place in a tree. Clyde Beattv
was another hero «*f the disaster who
Jbst his life, lie made strenuous ef-
forts to save Margaret Mclvinney and
Jennie Holmes, and had them lodged
in a tree when a wave came along and
swept all three to death. Keatty had
several opportunities lu save himself,
but refused to leave his weaker com-
panions.
In Allegheny City twelve persons
were shocked by lightning. Abner
Hays, freight receiver of the Fort
Wayne railroad, was sitting in his
house door when ligltfning Knocked
him unconscious, possibly fatally in-
juring him. A. M. Bennett ami his
children were standing on nheir porch
when a Hash was conducted from a
trolley wire in front of the h
prostrating the entire party. August
Snedez and family were sitting at
supper when lightning struck the
house, following the chitnnev flue to
the dining room. About half an hour
later a neighbor found the whole fa
ily lying on the floor in an uncon-
scious condition. They may recovei
bat it is improbable

Fifteen Held for One Murder.
Atoka, Ind. Ter., Aug. i. — Deputy
UliHed States Marshal James II.
Thompson left here last night for
Paris, Texas, with fifteen prisoners,
all Frenchmen from Lehigh, charged
with the murder of Bud James, a
Choctaw Imhun, at Phillips, Ind. Ter.,
on Saturday night. The prisoners
had a preliminary hearing before
Commissioner Grubbs, who committed
them without bail.
Atlantic Citv, N. J., Aug. 1.—
Forty-seven dead and forty-three in-
jured. These are tho figures on the
appalling disaster on "the meadows"
Thursday evening. Of these forty
have been identified. Three of the
unidentified were men and throe
women. The odd one consists of an
arm to which no body has been found.
Of the injured, it is more than
probable that four or live will die.
Many of tho others arc injured only
superficially.
The investigation into the cause of
the collision, and the fixing of the re-
sponsibility began yesterday in earn-
est. Coroner McLaughlin impaneled
a jury. At 4 o'clock the jury met for
the purpose of visiting the sccne of
the wreck. This time the party was
augumented by several lawyers, po-
lice oflicers and a group of newspaper
men.
There is a very general impression
that under the mass of debris at least
six more bodies lie. The jury tnade
an exhaustive examination of the
ground and devoted considerable time
to the inspection of the signals, which
still remain as they were at the mo-
ment of the accident.
George F. llauser, who has charge
of the tower, aud who is now under
arrest, has made several statements
to the polica He told them he saw
both trains coming when both were
sufficiently far away to admit of full
display of signals, but as the West
Jersey was the nearest he gave the
Reading the red light and signaled to
the excursion train to come ahead.
The Reading, however, never slacked
speed, but came on.
The Reading railroad express, which
left Philadelnnla at ft: it) o'clock for
Atlantic City, crashed into a Pennsyl-
vania railroad excursion train at the
second signal tower, about four miles
out from here The Pennsylvania
train was returning to Bridgeton with
a party of excursionists from that
place, Millvillc and neighboring
towns. It was loaded with passen-
gers, and a rough estimate* of the
killed aud injured at a late hourplaccs
the number at 100. It is hoped that
this is an exaggeration, but the num-
ber is undoubtedly more than fifty.
At tho second signal tower the
tracks of the two roads diagonally
cross. The Reading train was given
the signal, but it either failed to
work or the speed of the express was
too great to be checked in time. It
caught the excursion train broadsjde
and ploughed through, literally
cleaving it iu twain The engine of
the Reading train was shattered to
pieces. Every car was jammed to its
fnllest capacity.
The excursion train was made up of
fifteen cars, the foremost of which
was a baggage car. This and the
next two coaches caught the full
force of the crash, and were utterly
demolished. What remained of the
bhird car was tumbled into a ditch at
the roadside.
Preacher Koldied of 91,500.
Topkka, Ivan., Aug I.—Tho Rev.
John Constantine, an Armenian
preacher who is raising funds in this
country for his people, was lie id up
by two colored men and a woman in
Smoky Row. a tough quarter of this
cit£, at a late hour last night, and
robbed of 81.500 in gold. Constantino
had been to a missionary meeting and
was on his way to his boarding house
when the robbery waa committed. He
became greatly excited and forgot his
English, and the robbers had time to
get out of the country before he could
make the police understand ins pre-
dicament.
Secretary Morton states that 30,000
Acres of timber is consumed every day
in the United States, in factories, rail-
roads, fences, farms and buildings.
From several parts of the country
come reports of washerwomen who use
the wheel in delivering clothes to their
customers.
Ladies' bicycles are now turned out
in England with charming bags, hold-
ing many dainty articles, such as mir-
ror, powder puffand purfume bottle.
The sight of a groom following his
cycling mistress on a wheel is not a
rare thing in England. It seem to be
the proper tiling for liitn to wear full
livery, with belts, top boots and buck-
skin.
The cycling craze threatens to ruin
lawn tennis in England. The secre-
taries of the numerous clubs round
London arc in despair. All the ladies
are away cycling aud the club grounds
arc deserted.

Of course we do. Who could
help it when women write such
convincing words as these:
