PENNSYLVANIK'S TERRIFIC STORM, Magnitude of the Disaster Is Just Becoming Known. DEATH AND UTTER RUIN Thirteen Merrymakers Carried morning. At 2 o’clock this afternoon sev- enteen feet was recorded. In the debris which rushed past were seen small houses, outbuildings, fences, grainstacks and other evidence of the severity of the storm at points above. Specials from surrounding towns report loss and damage from last night’s storm as follows: At Claysville houses were urroofed and many buildings totally wrecked. The United Presbyterian Church and high school buildings were struck by lightning and demolished. Crops suffered greatly. Entire orchards were leveled and de- stroyed. No lives were reported lost. At Washington, Pa., the damage in the oil fields will be enormous. A great number of bridges were swept away and roads rendered impassable. At Canonsburg, Connelisville, West Newton and several other points the loss is reported heavy. John Fiegus and George Miller, with several companions, were camped on the Away Wkile Preparing ; for a Dance. HAVQC CAUSED BY LIGHTNING. Damage to Farms, 0.1 Fields, Roads and Bridges Will Reach Into Millions. PITTSBURG, Pa., July 28.—As news of last night’s storm continues 1o come in from the outlving districts to-day the magnitude of the disaster becomes more apparent, In addition to the loss of life reported last night at the camp of the Eighth Ward Hunting and Fishing Club of Alleghany eight more deaths were report- ed to-day in other places. At the boarding-house of Samuel Mec- Kinney at Cecil, Washington County, thirteen merrymakers were preparing for & dance last night when they were carried away almost without a moment’s warning, and seven of them were drowned. Before being rescued the others were in the water some four hours, others all ht, and the experience they went through will never be forgotten. The dead were found to-day strewed all along the flood-swept valley of Miller's Run, the nearest two miles from the scene of the disaster and the furthest eight miles below. The dead are: Mrs. Samuel McKinney, aged 59. Margaret McKinney, aged 30, unmar- ried, eldest daughter. James McKinney, aged 8, youngest son. F. C. Beatty, oil pumper, aged 26, un- married, of Bradford. J. C. Higgins, oil pumper, unmarried, aged 50, of Oil City. Jennie Hcolmes, aged 18, unmarried. Vincent Wilkinson, oil driller, Oil City, aged 32, unmarried. The house was two stories high, and was raised on props just above the banks of Millers Run, and about seven feet above the water level of that insignificant little cree While preparations for the dance were going on it was noticed that the water was creeping in under the front door. The merriment was stopped, but no danger was felt, and the party began to remove the furniture to the second floor. While they were thus engagea the house gavea lurch and went swirling into the flood amid the shrieks of the inmates. Eieven of the inmates were on the second floor. They made a rush for the stairway, but it was too late, the room. below” being full of water. James Pierce, an oil driller, went on the roof of the porch. He was swept ashore and saved. Charles Redding, & rig builder, jumped through a window into tbe water and managed, by clutching the bushes, to drag himself ashore. The villagers came trooping out into the storm, but could do nothing as the house swept by, and it was soon Jost to view in the blinding rain. The roof of the Louse gave way with a crash, and one by one the victims were swept from the second floor to which they were ciinging as to a raft. Samuel McKinney had endeavored to obtain a hold upon his wife ana youngest son, but they were swept from his grasp by the rush of the current. McKinney himself was under water for some time, but eventually reached the bank in a faint condition and wag drawn out by the people on the shore. Robert McKinney, a nephew,was caught in a tree near Gladden. He remained in the limbs all night and a searching party found him there in the morning. Lizzie Holmes was also found in a tree and was rescued. Suddenly and as swiftly as it rose the creek fell. By 6 p. M. to-day ail the bodies had been recovered amd the run was purling along, an inoffensive creek once more. Near the Morganza Run School Gus Wright, a colored driver for Bradwell’s livery stable in Carnegie, lost his life in Charliers Creek about 8 o’clock last night. He had driven to Cannonsburg in a two- horse carriage, and was on his way back. In the darkness he did not discover the bridge had been carried away, and drove into the swollen creek. In Lawrenceville (Seventeenth Ward) the damage is greater than on Jaly 15, when the storm wrecked the stone wall surrounding the Allegkany Cemetery. The broken wall offered no resistance to the flood last evening, and a raging tor- rent not only devastated a large portion of the beautiful Alleghany Cemetery, but flooded Butler street and streets below to a depth of nearly five feet. *The cellars of hundreds of houses were flooded and the first floors of several score were covered with water. Every street in that part of the city was blocked with broken trees, stones, rubbish and mud. All over the city traffic was suspended. In the mill districtsalong the Alleghany river twenty-five lar. e smokestacks were toppled over by the force of the wind, in a number of instances wrecking the build- ings on which they fell. Scarcely had the thoroughfares been made passable and delayed cars began to move when the night deluge came on. This, in pointof downpour, was even worse than the evening flood. The high wind was absent, however, but the heavens were almost cont nuously lighted with ter- rific flashes of lightning ‘and the roar of thunder was continuous. The storm con- tinued with slowly diminishing energy until midnight. Reports from the districts surrounding the cities detail the destruction’of build- ings, death of farm stock and much dam- age to crops and frait. All the railroads entering the city suffered considerable damage and delay. The Baltimore and Ohio railway is apparently the worst suf- ferer. Trains {rom above Eureka on the main line were unable to get through from Jast evening up to noon to-day. The through trains from the West were ex- pected early in the afternoon. The delay was caused by a landslide near Eureka. A large culvert at Port Royal was also washed out and had to be bridged over ve- fore trains could proceed. The river took an upward turn eariy this banks of the Alleghany River near Aspin- wall. Their tents were sheltered beneath a large sycamore tree. Either lizhtning or wind tore a huge limb from the tree and it dropped directly upon the tent in which the members of the club had sought shelter. Fiegus’ skull was crushed. Miller was pinned to the ground and his back broken. Five other members of the party were held to the ground under the heavy limb and severly injured. John Aufholder met death while striv- ing to reach & place of shelter in Second avenue. % Throughout Pittsburg and Alleghany buildings were unroofed, hundreds of trees uprooted, electric wires prostrated, win- dows shattered, outbuildings and even dwellings upset and ruined. At McDonald, Pa., last night the rain- fall was unprecedented. The streets were swept clear, and the board walks, which lodged against the bridge spanning an or- dinarily small creek just below the town, backed up the water until the lower por- tion of the city was for a time inundated. No lives were lost, but the damage to property was heavy. Several coal mines were flooded. Near Cecil, three miles southeast, six bodies have been removed from the mass of debris in Cecil Valley. Oil wells and shanties occupied by oil-producers. and workmer are thickly located along the banks of Cecil Creek. Torrents swept through them and gave no time for es- cape. The report of the drowning of sixteen men by a cloudburst last night in the.vi- cinity of the Beadline mine is confirmed. The men were coal-miners and occupied one house. Pittsburg and Alleghany estimates of the total damage run anywhere from $500,- 000 to $1,000,000. In Alleghany County the damage to three churches will reach $65,000 or more. e INDIANA ALSO VISITED. Frightful Wind, Rain and FElectrical Storm, With Dire Results. INDIANAPOLIS, Ixp., July 28. — A heavy wind and rain storm passed over Indiana this evening and reports to-night indicate the damage is general. The wind almost destroyed the Eastern routes of the telegraph companies. Neither com- pany has a wire to Knightstown or Rich- mond. Meager dispatches from Central and Northern Indiana show that the storms haye been phenomenal. Clinton County’s gravel roads are washed out in innumerable piaces. Tipton reports a tre- mendous fall of rain and frightfui elec- trical display, during which several resi- dences were struck and a new schoolhouse destroyed. The opera-house at Petersburg was partially destroyed by lightning, and Mrs. Al Goddard and child were fright- fully burned by their residence being will pe immense. B Sy APPALLING DEVASTATION. Cloudbsrsts Swell the Streams and People Are Killed by Lightning. ANDERSON, Ixp., July 28, —The situa- tion of the Indiana gas belt is serious. The successive cloudbursts which have kept up with frightful regularity since midright have swollen streams out of their banks and are flooding cities and towns. Three deaths have been the re- sult in this city. Frank Galloway, one of these, was literally torn to pieces by lightning. The other victims are Andrew Haworth of Liberty and Benton Reave of Fairfield. : The dams along White and other rivers gave way under the heavy bodies of water this afternoon and swept everything be- fore them. PYeople were rescued from second-story windows. The dike at Yorktown broke this after- noon, letting the lake out. It came rush- ing down White River ata terrific speed, taking everything in its path. Johnstown, a suburb of Anderson, named so because so many workers from Johnstown, Pa., live there, was almost washed away by the great dam giving away. The river is still rising at the rate of a foot an hour. Crcps are washed out. Dispatches to-night state the cities of Frankton, Elwood- and Alexandria are partly under water. The damages cannot yet be estimated. bl el Four Towns. Submerged. NOBLESVILLE, Isp., July 28.—Canoes were the only means of transportation in the towns of Kirklin, Elkin, Atlanta and Arcadia this evening, the water being two feet deep on all streets. N Smail Cyeclone at Danville. DANVILLE, In», July 28.—During a small cyclone this .norning several houses were blown down. The home of Henry | Thomas was struck by lightning and him- self and wife seriously injured. Viewed a Midnight Sun. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 28.—Emil Boas, general manager of the Hamburg- American line, received cable advices to- day to the effect that the steamship Co- lumbia, with a party of American tourists aboard, was favored by good weather op her trip to the North Cape and Spitzen- bergen. The passengers witnessed the un- usual spectacle of seeing the midnight sun four times on four nights in succession in a perfectly cloudless sky—the last time the sun shining upon the glaciers and ice mountains at Spitzenbergen. mi New York’s Striking Tailors. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 28,—Secretary Solomon of the Brotherhood of Tailors said this afternoon that about 130 outside contractors had called at beadquarters to- day and expressed a willingness to sign a new agreement, but as the strikers de- cided to settle with the contractors as a body in order to compel the outside con- tractors to join the Contractors’ Associ- ation, no agreements were signed. Cireu- lars were issued by the United Garment- workers of America No. 8 this after- noon, calling upon the members of that organization to strike to-morrow. LA sk Neece for Congress. QUINCY, Inn, July 28.—The Demo- crats of the Fifteenth Congressional Dis- trict to-day nominated ex-Congressman William H. Neece and indorsed the Chicago platform. struck by lightning.

RED FLAGS BARRED OUT. Doorkeepers Overpowered and a Mad Rush Made for the Galleries. A BABEL OF REMONSTRANCES. “Put 'Em Out!” Is Howled in Many Tongues and Business Is Out of the Question. LONDON, Exa., July 28.—The Interna- tional Socialist Trade Congress met in St. Martin’s Town Hall to-day. In view of the disorder which characterized yester- day’s meeting there was a large crowd of outsiders present, who apparently . were anxious to see a repetition of the trouble. As the delegates presen‘ed themselves for admission & close scrutiny was made of their credentials, it being feured that some of the anarchists would endeavor to get on the floor and create trouble. Some of those who bore credentials which were not in exactly the right shape were refused permission to enter the hal'. Herr Singer, the well-known socialist member of the German Reichstag, who speaks English fluently, acted as chair- man at to-day’s session. He referred to yesterday’s disturbance and announced that order would have to be maintained. After the usual preliminaries the con- gress took up the question of the admis- sion of anarchists and against which a large majority vote was cast yesterday. Speeches for and against their recognition as delegates were made by Jean Jures, a Radical Socialist member of the French Chamber of Deputies; Tom Mann, who was formerly a member of the House of Commons, and several other properly ac- credited delegates. The speakers were much excited and those.in favor of the admission of the an- archists hotly contended that if they were not admitted the congress would not be internationally representative in its scope and that its decisions and conclusions would not carry the weight which they would otherwise have. The opponents of the proposition de- clared with equal decision that the admis- sion of the anarchists would have the ef- fect of leading the general public to be- lieve that the socialists favored the an- archists’ propaganda, which the speakers contended was not the case. Eventually another vote was taken and it was decided, 203 to 104, to refuse to recognize them. The anarchist would-be delegates were outside the hall waiting for a decision, and when it was announced to them they became highly indignant. It was finally | decided to force an entrance into the hall and the decision was no sooner arrived at than it was carried out. Arush was made for the doorkeepers, who were speedily upset and the crowd of anarchists made their way to the gallery. Then begana perfect babel. The delegates shouted in their native tongues—Polish, French, German, Italian, Spanish and English— that the intruders should he put out. Finally, when the voice of a speaker could be heard above the din, Tom Mann and Kier Hardie addressed the chair, ad- vocating the admission of one of the an- archists. Other speakers opposed the proposition, and the executive committee awaited until it appeared there was a de- cidedly favorable chance of yesterday's disgraceful scene being repeated. Herr Singer finally succeeded in obtain- ing a little order, and it was then agreed that properly accredited anarchists shoula be admitted, but should be allowed to take no part in the debate. Later another vote was taken and it was decided to uphold the resolution, which in effect provides that anarchisiz shall not be admitted. There the question remains at present. HEARST'S NEW VENTURE The Editor Said to Be Arrang- ing to Start a Paper in Chicago. It Will Be Democratic in Politics and Support Bryan and Sewall. CHICAGO, Irr., July 28.—A morning paper says: 'The Democratic party, 1if present plans do not miscarry, will have a paver voicing Democratic opinions in Chicago within a month. The new sheet will be called the Chicago Daily Enquirer, but further than that the promoters re- fuse to divulge their plans. The capital stock of the Enquirer will be $1,000,000, all of which is in sight, though as yet none has been subscribed. Though there has been talk of starting a free-silver paper in this city for a year, the .present movement was not begun until after Bryan’s nomination. When the local Democratic paper bolted the plat- form the Democrats decided to issue the that John R. McLean intended starting a paper similarly named, they called on P. J. Deviin and asked him to design a head and bave it copyrighted. Devlin said last night the paper would soon be issued, but refused to say who the editors would be. The men back of the Enquirer, Devlin says, have not been a part of any previous effort to start a free silyer sheet here. Some were Chicago men and some were from other cities, east and west. “I am not in any way connected with the paper,” Devlin said, *‘nor will I be when it starts. I know who the promoters are, but am not at liberty to aisclose their names. McLean is not in any way con- nected with the paper, nor is Bryan.” Other men in a position to know of the scheme say the prime mover is Editor Hearst of the New York Journal and San Francisco Examirer. The paper will champion the cause of the Democratic nominees, Bryan and Sewall, and they say its advocacy of free silver wili be of the rampant kind. In appearance it will i only Enquirer. On Saturday, when they learned | be extremely plain, but its backers pro- pose to make it compare favorably with its Chicago contemporaries. The date of the first issue will pe about August 10, ——— LOST IN A TYXPHOON. The German Third-Class Cruiser Iitis Sunk in Chinesé Waters, LONDON, Exe., July 28.—A aispatch from Chee Foo says: The German third- class cruiser Iitis was lost in a typhoon on July 13 ten miles northward of the Span- tung Promintory, which is about seventy- five miles southeast of here. Ten of the men were saved. All of the others, in- cluding the officers, perished. The Iltis was a small cruiser of 489 tons displacement with two 10}¢-centimer guns and two light gans. She was launched in 1878, having cost about £133,000. GREIET i CUBAN CAMP CAPTIURED. General Sandoval’s Report of the Battle on the Oconsion, HAVANA, Cusa, July 28.—General San- doval reports to the authorities here that the troops under his command have cap- tured an insurgent camp in the vicinity of Guantanamo. In the fight which pre- ceded the capture, 16 rebels were killed, among them a captain, and a lieutenant was taken to prison. A sergeant of the Spanish force was killed, and two officers and 22 privates were wounded. General Sandoval discredits the report that a filibustering expedition landed re- cently on the Cuban coast. ——e Zabor Riot in a Swiss City. ZURICH, S8wITZERLAND, July 28,—There bas been trouble brewing for some time between the Swiss and Italian working- men of this city, and last night it cul- minated in a riot. .

Several Prisoners Shot by the Guards and the Others Forced to Submission. LEAVENWORTH, Kaxs., July 28.—A mutiny broke out among tae convicts at the United States penitentiary at Fort Leavenworth, and a wild time followed. The trouble started with a gang of thirty men under six guards who were at work on the prison farm. - George Yeast, an Indian Territory des- perado, six feet six inches tall, was the leader, and at a given signal the men broke. The guards began shooting at once with guns ioaded with buckshot, and most of the prisoners gave up and fell flat upon the ground to avoid being shot. Yeast and two other prisoners were se- riously wounded. Yeast will die. The shooting caused a general alarm, and soon guards, soidiers and ambulances came rushing from the fort garrison. The men shot were loaded on ambulances and taken to the prison. OKZLAHUMA STAGE HELD UP. Everything of Falue Taken From the Mail Sacks and Passengers. ‘WICHITA, Kaxs., July 28.—In a lonely gulch several miles west of the village of Lacey, in the northern part of Okla- homa Territory, the regular mail stage was held up yesterday afternoon by a band of outlaws, who rifled the express and mail sacks, taking all the rezistered letters and all the valuables carried by the two passengers in the coach.

Easily Takes the Single Scull Contest at Halifax. DURNAN COMES SECOND. Exciting Finish B:tween Three Men for the Minor Purse. ROGERS WAITS TOO LONG. Passes Hanlan, but Is Unable to Catch the Other Toron- tan's Shell. HALIFAX, N. 8., July 28.—The weather was grand this afternoon for the opening events of the carnival regatta. There was, however, a pretty stiff wind, making the water somewhat rough at the beginning, but it moderated almost to a calm before the last race. The single scull contest, the big event, was concluded about 7:30 o’clock. There were seven atarters—Gaudaur, Haolan, Bubear, Durnan, Rogers, Casey and Levitt. The prizes were $500, $150 and $100. It was an easy victory for the favorite, Jake Gau- daur, who finished ahead apparently without the least discomfort by more than eight lengths. At the turn Bubear and Casey were out of the race. The contest so far as Durnan, Hanlan and Rogers were concerned began as soon as they squared away for the finish line. Hanlan and Durnan were alongside each other for fully a mile, straining every nerve to gain an advantage over each other. Durnan proved the best stayer, and when a half mile from the line grad- ually drew away from his uncle. Rogers, throughout the struggle between the To- rontans, kept well up to them and now began to row rapidly and gain on them. He had, however, saved, himself too long and, altoough he passed Hanlan, could not reach Durnan. At the finish Durnan’s bow was about five feet ahead of Rogers’ boat and the latter’s bow only four feet ahead of Han- lan’s. Gaudaur’s time was 20:25, which consid- ering that the water was a little lumpy when the race began and the fall course was a three-mile one was almost up to ex- pectations. Three of the men entered for the event—Hackett, Haines and Barr— did not start. —_— ON EASTERN DIAMONDS. Standing of the Clubs and Scores of the Games in the National League Yesterday. Cruss.

Wheelmen Allow Nationality Prejudice to Spoil Their Sport. CHICAGO, Iny, July 28.—A private let- ter from Dublin gives some interesting details of the feud that is raging between the cyclists of England and freland. The trouble started with the adoption of a resolution by the board of control of the National Cyclists’ Union of Great Britain declaring that after June 15 no entries from Irish riders should be accepted for English championship races. Preyious to this there had been an agreement between the two principal amateur cycling organi- zations of England and Ireland, by which members of each were entitled to compete in races on either side of the Irish Chan- nel. Upon the issuance of the new order an exunordinnr? general meeting was beld of the council of the Irish Cyclists’ Asso- ciation, and a resoiution adopted barring riders holding certificates oPlhe English body from competing at Irish champion- ship sports. et SEXTUPLET AGAINST TRAIN, Each Wins a Race Over the New York Central Iracks. SYRACUSE, N. Y., July 28.—Honors were even to-day between the sextuplet and the Empire State express in two races along the New York Central tracks, where acourse haa been speciallv prepared by the New York Central Railroad Company. On the outgoing trip the sextuplet led the express in a hali-mile dash by three lengths. “ The engineer had been warned iorun his engine at its best, but he could not defeat the bicycle. The Empire State express, which arrived in S8yracuse at 3:50, fairly defeated the sextuplet for half a mile, though the wheel was only left behind several lengths. el With the Chess Players.

ACTIVITY DAILY INCREASING. Anxiety Felt at Hilo and Other Points About Severe Earthquake Shocks. HONOLULU, Hawair, July 21.—Kilaues, the great Hawalian volcano, after a state of quiescence lasting over a year and a half, and broken by but two short intervals of spasmodic effort, has again entered upon a period of violent activity. At the bot- tom of Halemauman, the central pitand fire hole of the nine-mile crater, a lake of liquid fire has already formed, streams of molten lava are pouring into it from all sides and two new minor craters have de- veloped upon the floor of the immense pit, which, taken collectively, is known as Kilauea, the largest active volcano in the world. The outbreak occurred at a few mo- ments after 7 o’clock on the evening of the 11th inst., and from all reports so far received from the Kamaainas (old set- tlers) of the big island there is every in dication of permanency and a great en- largement of the area over which the fiery streams will run and crimson foun- tains play. Inter-island steamers from the Hawaiian metropolis are crowded with local visitors, who are flocking to see the latest phases of nature’s most spectacular phenomenon. It is over two months now since Mokuaweoweo, the summit crater of Mauna Loa, suddenly and without warn- ing burst into splendor and shot a column of blinding light into the sky—a rose colored shatt hundreds of feet in diameter— which startled the inhabitants of all Hawaii and was piainly wisible from the higher altitudes about Honolulu. Considerable anxiety was felt at Hilo and other points on the island of Hawaii, as it has fre- quently happened in the past that an outburst at the summit was followed by earthquake and lava flows down the moun- tain side, either one likely to be most dis- astrous in effect. However, the period of duration was but a few days, and the fires disappeared almost as quickly as they came. Now they have blazed up again in the old stamping ground of Pele, the fire goddess, and in all probability have come to stay. Latest returns report a constanily in- creasing activity in the crater, two new lakes at points not far distant from Halemaumau, where the seat of the great- est turbulence has generally been for gen- erations past, and, what will prove of prime interest to prospective visitors, a chance to see the whole show without leay-~ ing the comfortable vehicles which con- vey one to the hotel from the sea. A good carriage road extends part of the way round the rim of the main crater, while the situation of the new fire lakes is such that the play of the fountains, streams of lava and other features are plainly visible from the top of the walls. on a Foul.
