Mr. Howe, of the firm of Van Brunt & Howe, architects, Kansas City, called at this office last evening, in regard to the edi- torial printed in Tus Bee a few days since on the subject of the proposed union depot in this city. Referring to the inquiry made at Tus oftice by u Brg correspondent, Mr. Howe stated that his firm, for several years, had han was that if she had been doing snything of that nature, it ought to be ex- posed. Dr. 8. B. Taylor claims the same as All- berry that the charges were made by ‘Vaughan at his own request; that he was cautioned against making any statement that, ‘was untrue. The doctor say “Of course, this thing must be investigated, and when it is, either Miss Clark or Vaughan has got into trouble.” As Miss Clark and All- berry are both anxious for an investiga- tion, it seems as 1f the largest amount of blame will bo saddled upon Vaughan, who still claims to Miss Clark that the letters that were partially burned that he re- fors to in his affidavit. were taken from the ‘waste paper basket, but admnits that he did the job because he was mad at her. This he has told to Miss Clark. He also says be distributed the lotters when they first came to the postoffice. Miss Clark claims she never saw tho letters. g 1f Vaughan is true in lus last statement, it is'a myslery how these letters cawe to be n the waste paper basket. An* investigation may solve the mystery, but at present there is all sorts of stories circulated. Everybody 48 on the anxious seat waiting for further de- velopments. Havden Alias Scramblin. Wenrasiea CitY, June L—|Special Tele- gram to Tk Bee.]—The .widow of the mur- dered man, Bramhall, at Red Oak, Ia., will © here to-morrow to identify Seramblin, the arrested suspect, with Hayden, the mur- derer. He acknowlodged to Tie Ber, to- : day, that ne had worked at Red Ouk some | Plans for the union depot under con- seven or cight years ago, and contradicted | sideration. It was first considercd himself in many instances regarding his past | by Mr. Callaway before his re- life. Thero is very littlo doubt thutho s | signation as gencral wanager of the Union Pacific. The firm had revised and re- revised its plans, he said, and are even now at work ubon them. When the i nquiry was made with regard to the plans by Tir Bre correspondent, Mr. Howe said that he did not think it advisable to give any informa- tion, because of the fact that the firm was still at work upon the job, and would be at work on them for a few weeks, “We are now preparing the plans ina shape as will enable Messrs. Holcomb and Kimball to lay them before the citizens of Omaha for insvection, in connection with the project of the Tenth street viaduet,” said he. “Perhaps we made a mistake in not stating fuily what were doing in the premises, but [ want to correct a misapprehension that might naturally have arisen from our reply to the reporter.” When asked as to what tho cost of the union depot would be, Mr. Howe stated that it would closely approximate £400,000, and might reasonably be expected to exceed that sum. He expects in a weelk or ten days to be able to send a large perspective to be placed on exhibition after the officers of the com- pany return, The plans have been made the right man, as several more peopie, who formerly knew him, identified him to-day.

Des Molnes Takes a Game From Denver, and the Corn Hu kera Win at 8t. Paul—Sport- ing Note The Oolisenm Race. There was a large and enthusiastic crowd at the Coliseum lnst night to witness the close of thesix day race botween the bicyclienaes and the equestriennes. At the commence- ment of the evening's ran the horses wore one mile ahead of thoir fair competitors of the wheel, but they jnmped right in with a rush and a hurrah that showed at once that they intended to widen the gap as much as possible, and began to gain from the start. The bicyclionnos, however, were full of grit_and_detormination, and rode as they nover rode before, although they could not help but perceive that it ~was a for- lorn nhope. Miss Kittie Brown, clad in her jaunty maroon Al tire, was particularly bent upon frustrating the ambition of the wily horsewomen, and rode us she never rode before. Her gleaming wheel resembled a continuous streak of light. as she whirled about the course, and the dizzy pace she maintained kept the vast crowd in a stato of wildest excitement. Had the bykers all ridden as did this comely lass, tho victory of the equostriennes would not have been nearly so decisive. As a rewarad for her heroic effort, Miss Brown received several beautiful Horal remembrances, and was vociferously cheered from the moment she appeared upon the track until she dis- mounted at the close. Miss Baldwin, who is really a very sick girl, was still absent from the track, and the frequent calls for her from the audience showed how much she was_missed. Louise Armaindo, Edna Woods and Miss ‘Williams, all rode well, but did not appear to feel the sting of defeat as keenly as did Miss Brown, as they made no especial effort. to cut down the lead of their quadrupedal adversfries. They haa evidently made up their minds that they were beaten, and re- solved to accept the disappointment with the best graco possible. Marve Beardsley, the trainer and handler of ' the equestriennes, was in high feather, and was profuse in his praise and congratulations for his proteges at each dismount. Broncho Charlio, to whose prolonged and dogged rid- ing the bykers owe their defeat, Was a very very jaded and dispirited cowboy at the close of the race, as ho had accompiished almost one-half of the distance covered by the horsemen’s side of tho race. Referoe Jim Crawford announced the race from tho scorer's stand immodiately after the crack of the pistol, as follows: Bicyclos. Miles.

Hero are some little odds ana ends of happenings they told me of A beautiful girl came down on the roof of o building which was swinging near the tower. She screamed to the operators to save her, and one fellow walked as far into the river as he could and shouted to her to guide herself into shore with a bit of plank. She was a plucky girl and stood upon her frail support in evident oboedience to the command of the operator. Sho made two or three bold strokes and actually changed the course of the raft for an - stant, then it swerved and went out from under her. She struck out to swim ashore, but in a few seconds she was lost i the swirling water. Something hit her, for she lay quietly on her back with her face pallid and expression|es Men and women in dozens, in pairs and singly, children, boys, big and little, and wee Dbabies, were there in among tue awful con- fusion, drowning, gasping, struggling and fighting desperately for life. Two men were on tiny rafts in the swiftest parts of the cur- rent. They crouched stolidiy, looking at the shores. while between ther, dressed in white and kneeling with her face turned heaven- ward, was a girl six or seven years old. When she came opposite the tower, she turned her face to the operator. She was so in the houso father and close they could sce the big tears on her checks and her pallor was as death. The heipless men on shore shouted to keep up her courage, and she re- sumed her devout attitude and disappearcd under the trees of a projecting point a short aistance pelow. “Wo could not see her come ot again,” said the oporator, and that was all of it. “Do you see that fringa of trees!” said the operator, pointing to the placé whore the lit- tlo grl had gone out of sight. “Well, we saw score of children swept in there, I be- lieve that when the time comes they will find almost & hundred bodies of children in there among those bushes.” Just above New Fiorenco is the little town of Nineveh. It was here that I found THE FIRST CHARNEL house. One hundred and nine dead were there, the larger proportion of whom were women. Here it was that the awfui work of the freshet could be realized. What had been fertile farms look like warn out brick yards. Great trees had been twisted and torn like weeds, and broken household goods and hundreds of houses line he shortes for miles. Thieves, those who steal from the dead and unfortunates, had been busily at worlc robbing trunks, boxes, and articlos of furniture, and there is nothing worth taking left except lumber. Every now and then ghastly corpses could be seen in the water, being swept down stream. Two miles from the “S Q" tower is the “S X» tower of the Pennsylvania railroad company and here it is that the greatest railroad in the world ends suddenly in the river. For more than a thousand feet the eutire track is wiped out, rails, tics, and even ballast. The north track is enurely washed away. This is the nearest telegraphic powt to Johustown, aud the delay iu the getting of news dispatches has been fairly maddening. The Associated Press was the first in the field and was ready with thousands ot words of specials, but no wires could ve had from 11 a. m. until almost 2p. m. No special trains could be hired, no locomotives were to be bought, and the situ- ation can be appreciated. Meagre News krom Johnstown. Puiuavrrrnia, Pa., June 1—The indica- tions point to the present trouble being the worst ever experiouced by the Peunsylvania railroad company. The vresent suspension of trafic caused by the washing away of bridges and viaducts, the beavy landslides, the long and deep washouts and fall of masses of rock from the mountain sides to the track below between Altoona and Johns- town, a distance of forty miles, and east of the former city is expected to last as long as the soow blockade of a year ago. At the office of the general manager of that road it was stated, this morning, that the pew bridge across the Conemaugh river at Johnstown, which was reported to have been swept away by waters is still standing as firm as ever, but the ap- proach thereto for a distance of 300 or 400 feet beyond the station and the bridge have been washed away. The information re- cewvea from that point is very meagre. An oficial of the road there telegraphs that it is impossible to describe the calamity and des- olation. No particulars were given beyond this, The wires to Williamsport are still down. A dispatch received from that city by way of Reading stated that the lumber boom had broken this morning, snd the waser was rushing through the upper end of the town. About 3 o'clock word was received that the Williamsport boom at Lock Haven had broken, and that the place was overflowed. Since then no news has been received as to the condition of affairs, as the wires between Williamsport and Lock Haven have gone down. A dispatch received from Williams- port this aftornoon states that the city is flooded and tue water is still rising. The Philadelphia & Reading bridge over the Susquebauna river @t Mauch was swopt away, ond crashing agaiust the Philadelphia & Krie bridge at Mont- gomery, seriously damaged the latter structure, A despatch from Lancastor says that sixty-five rafts broke loose this morning from near Wright's mill and were carried into the Susquehanna, involving a loss of over $50,000. Despatches received by the railroad officials from Pittsburg confirm the Associated Press reports of the awful calam- ity at Johustown and the resulting loss of life in that vicinity. The railroad bridge at Johostown is constructed of stone and was not swept away. The fire which raged among the debris was against it, and will it is stated, probably reuder the struclure worthless. A dispatch received at b5 p. m. from Pitts- burg states the Pennsylvania railroad people succeeded in getting & temporary wire through from Saug Hollow to the west end of the railroad bridge, which is west of Johustown. The debris lodged against the bridge and piled up to & distance of forty feet, and it is stated to be still burning. Until the flames die out to admit ot passage across the bridge nothing can be done towards repairing the heavy washout between the bridge and Johnstown. The dispatch also states that the Cambria Iron company’s plaut ou the north side of the Conemaugh river at Johns- town is a complete wreck. Until this dis- pateh it was not thought here that this por- tion of the plant had been seriously injured. ‘Phe plant 15 said to be valued at $5,000,000. At Williamsport the west braach of the Susquehanna is said to be thirty feet high. There is eight inches of water on the foor of the raflroad station there, This would indi- caté that neasdy the whole ety is overflowod. At Steelton two and one-half feet of water flows over the Pennsylvania railroad tracks, and tho steel plant at that place 1s also sub- merged. - Chopped Their Legs OfF. Jornxstowy, Pa,, June 1.—The buildings which were swopt by the angry waters to the Pennsylvania bridge, have buraod to the wator's edge. Before tho buildings took fire many pooplo, dead and alive, wero taken from them, and in several instances the un- fortunntes were 8o wedged in that it was necessary to chop their legs off to rclense them, Tho Catholie church was destroyed by fire this morning. A number of people were on the roof when the structuro took fire and all of them were consumed in the flames. Hareison Kxpressos Sympathy. WasHINGTON, June 1.—The prosident has sent a telogram 1o the mayor of Johnstown, Pa., exprossing his sympathy for the people of that city in their receat calumity, and say ing that the secrotary of war is considering means for their relief. He also made & con- tribution to tho relief fund. The latest reports from Harpor's Ferey say the Potomac and Shenandoali rivers are rising ono foot per lour, Cattle, boats and other drift are running thick. 4he river is very high here and is rising. The water has reached 13 street and has put out the fire in the engine house a4t the Washington monu ment and stopped the elevator. The cellars on tho south side of Penusylvania avenue aro flooded. Last night, after a fall of rain almost cquivalent toa cloud burst, the lock gate and end of the Chesapeake & Ohio canal was carried away by the rising water, which washed several canal boats into Rock creek, whore they were destroyed. Since then the river has been rising rapidly and flood waters from Harper's ferry and upper tributary are swelling it every moment. Along B strect north, in_the neighborkood of the market, country producers were driven off carly in the day, and the street was turned into a lake on 'which fioated chicken coops, market trucics and all sorts of odds and ends. Cel- iars were flooded and _much damago to prep- erty rosulted among the commission houses. Up in Georgetown the scene along the river bank was exciting. The docks are under water, and lumber, coal, cement and provisions, and all kinds'of property have been carried away, At Long Bridge the water at sunset was almost level witis the bridge. Several barges already have struck and sunk here, and rail- road men are making overy effort to prevent the sccumulation of drift against the bridge, The water is still creeping up, howeyer, and the bridge is in a precarious conaition. ' If it is carried away, to-night, which is by no means improbabld, the result will be a ser jous and long interruption of the railroad traflic between the north and south, The Coffer dam at Long Bridge has been greatly iujured and much of the work which has been done upon the Pottomac flats at an expense of miilions of doilars, will be un- done. It is not yet possible to estimate the losses suffered by merchants and warououse- men, but oue individual has lost $30,000 worth of coal on one dock. Relief For Sufferers. Prrrsnung, June 1.—In this city, to-day, there was but one topic of conversation, and that was the Johnstown deluge. Crowds of eager watchers all day long besieged the newspaper bulletin boards and rendered the sureets impassable. | Many of them had friends or relatives in the stricken district and “names, names,” was their cry, but there were no names. Th& storm, which had perhavs swept away tho lives of their loved ones, had also carried away all weans of com- munications, and their vigil was unrewarded. To show the state to which the telegraph is reduced it is sufficient to state it is not yet known whether the telegraph operator” at Johnstown is dead or alive. The nearest point to that eity which can be reached to- night 1s New Florence, and the one wire there is almost constantly taken up by orders for coftins, embalming fluid and preparing special cars to carry the recovered to their homes. The mayors of Pittsburg and Allegheny issued calls for mass meetings, which were responded to by throngs of Pittsburg’s wealthiest men, At 1p. m. $30,000 was in hand and av 5 the sum was sweiled to $100,000. A'special train was chartered by the news- papers to_carry provisions, medicines and clothing to the nearest possible point to Johnstown. It Was Someihing Awful NEw Havex, Pa., June 1.—Many of the houses here are partiaily under water, while at Bolivar the whole lower part of town is mundated. Every creek is a rushin er and every rivulet a raging torrent. The ground is water-sonked, and when the immense mountain district which drains into the Conemaugh above South Forl is taken into consideration, the terrible volume of water that must have necumulated can be realized,and gathering as it did within a few minutes it aguinst the South Fork dam with irresistible fo The frightened natives along the Conemuugh de- seribe the flood as something awful. The first, risc came almost without warniug and the torrent came roaring down tho mountain passes in one huge wave several feet in height. After the first swell the water continued to rise at a fearful rate. Sad Dispateh. Cuicaco, June 1.—Captain J. B. Fitzpat- rick, of the contral detail, recewved the fol- lowing Qdispatch from his brother Peter, who is chief of police of Cambriaborrough, located across the river from Johnstown, Pa, the scene of the terrible diastor last night: “Roso, her husband and child, and my wife and three children were all’ drowned. Some of Bob's children were also in the flood.” T'he persons referred to in the message Captain Fitzvatrick's sis- ter; y, the husband: Ellen Brady a daughter, Mary itzp.trick and hor three cbildren, 'two boys and one girl. *1ob” refers to another brother living there, who had nive children. The Situation at Blairaville. BLARsvILLE, Pa., June 1,—The flood in the Conemaugh river at this point is the heaviest ever known here, and the Blairsville inter- section hias been swept away, also the new iron bridge at Coketown, half a mile below, A great many fawilies lost their house- hold goods. The river is running full of timber, houses, goods, etc. The loss will be heavy. The excitement here is great. There are some fawilies below town in the second stories of their houses and can not get out. It is feared thatif the water Rgoes much hizher the loss of life will be very great, The water is still rising, aud if it koeps on the West Pennsylvunia road will be without a single bridge. - EEKERS CALLED.Q NO O¥FICE- President Harrison Has a Lonely Day atthe White Hounse.

Itepresentative Owen of Indiana had a coufereuce lasting alwmost an hour, The rain poured dowa in torrents all day and had a very dopressing effect upon the ofice-seekers. This, together with the announcement published in various demo- cratic papers west and which reached here this morning, that the president had ceased 1o appoiot Indianians to office outsid of their state, kept the usual crowd away, It1s un- true 'that the bresident has swpped the recoguition of men frowm his own state except to fill local éfices. He said that he intended to recognize and please as wany of lis personal and party friends in Indiana possible, and that he would not ceuse pointing them until the offices were ex- usted. It is true, however, that thero is & glut in the (ndisna office-seekers markot and & practical suspension of operations, at which the hopeful complain, However, the announcement that there wre to bo no more Indisnians appointed has had the effect of in- ducing nearly all of the Hoosiers to return to their homes dispirited.

Residents near Mount Eve and in the vicinity of the granite guarry at Mount Adum, in the town of Varwick, Orange county, says & Newburg, N. Y., dispatch to the New York Herald, have this weol noticed a religious revival among & gung of Italians, who have been put at work in the quarry referred to. The beautiful monument erected over the grave of the daughter of the late Colonel A. P, Kerr, on the Kerr place, near the mountain, has been mistaken by these foreigners for a shrine, such a5 are to be seen by the roadside in their native country. At anearly hour every morning thése devout Italinns prosirate themselves before the chaste marble piliar in worship. The other evening, when a new lot of Italians arrived by a train and started from the station to the quarry they saw the monument in the twilight, and in socordance with some suporstition they would not pass it after sunset. The ladies at the Kerr homestead we re grooted by them with with what was undoubtedly the request that they be allowed to sleep in the barn, Nol un- derstanding the matter, the ladies do- clined 10 give the bucessary permis- sion.
