The City ofLounpnr i'm British India
Destroy cd-Gpsyard OF 5000 Houses
swept Away.
W. ~ -
tFroIn tee Pioneer of Jndia.I

IRON tee tioncer OF Jndla.I
We regret to record a sudden and great
disaster at Jounpur, fine native city Of
the second class 1t contained nearly
5000 houses and more than -, 900 Inhab
itants. The River Gumtrc rose suddenly
on the night Of Friday, the 10Th of Sept,
flooding most of the mohullas south Of the
river, and one or two on the north Of it.
1t continued TO rise all Saturday; before
noon the Rohula MOhulla, Goolar Chat,
Jehengerabad, Weilandguni, and Jeyeopur
presented the appearance Of the canals;
before evening the foundations of the
houses began to give way, and then, one
by one, they came crashing down, dis
solved by an element deyouring as FIRE.
All Sunday the waters began to rise, and
covered the roadway of the far famed
Nohamedan bridge; the fine pucka scria
was nov flooded, and crowds who had
taken refuge there were driven to seek
another resting-place. Al Monday and
Tuesday the waters grew nightly and pre-
vailed; the river by this time flowed free
ly over the parapets of the bridge, Of
which only the shops or kiosks were visi-
/ bic, and the flood was still rising when the
last tidings reached u.s. The whole Of the
city south of the river has been destroyed:
, and as some PEOPLE are skeptical when
they hear Of native losses, we may add that
the postotfce, mission school, and the SOL
idly-built dispensary have all likewise
persisted. On the north side of the city
many mohullas have been swept away, and
| in the chief bazaar, largest houses, unie-
/ termined By the rushing waters, were
/ tumbled in, enc after another, with crash
| Ike that of thunder On a moderate COM
putation, between 1000 and 5000 houses
! have been destroyed; many others must
undergo demolition. Ten thousand per-
sons have been deprived of house and
home, and it will require all the energy OF
/ district officers and the greatest EberaGty
( on the part of the government to prevent
I this calamity to be followed by the ills incl
) dental to want and exposure. This disas-
TER, accompanied as it is by deficient
! harvest and second total failure of the
! inGiso crop, viii, we fear, inaict blow
/ from which the city and district will never
/ wholly recover. 1t is believed that no
j lives nave been lost. The people with
good sense and forethonght began remov-
ing their families as soon as the danger
became imminent. Perfect order prevailed.
The mamesterial and Distric, Superinten-
dent Of police spent most Of their time in
the city, and the exertions of the last named
officer are said to deserve high praise.
Though the waters were still rising EhEn
the mail left, we trust that the civil stat,Aa

THE RUSH MEDICAL COLLEGE.
Ass Losses and the Prospects for the
Future.

From the Chicago Post. Nov. IS.
Among the public institutions which
were involved IN the late fire, none was
more completely swept from the face of the
earth than the Rush Medical College, 10,
Gated on the North Side, at the corner OF
Dearborn and Indiana streets. 1t WIS the
Oldest college ii the city and State, having
been established by Dr. Brainard, Dr.
Bianey, and their Jealous colleagues, in
1872, and named after DR.. Rush, Of Phila,
lciph:a. a conspicuous sigucr Of the De
c,agation of Independence.
1t IS not eXaggerating to say that tho
Rash was the -inest medical college in the
United States. It's museum, chemical
laboratory, geological and meteorological
cabinet collection Of diseased bones, libra,
~, etc, were among the finest in the
world; indeed, they were, in some impor.
tant respects, unequaled in Europe. Its
appointments and auxliaries for acquiring
medical education were unusually com
plete: and its faculty was composed OF
gentlemen Of high intellectual and scholar
" attaimmcnts.
( The buildings, with their contents, We're
entirely consumed in the great conhagra-
ton. The loss, as far as it can be esti-
mated iii money, was at least 100000

ance, ana most of these were living OF
boarding on the North Side, in the very
! lire Of thc flames. More than one-half Ct
( the fnculty were burnt out and lost every
/ thing they had. Students took trunk OF
bundle on their shoulders as that crimson
morning dawGcd and lit out FOl
about Il week the class WAS totally scat
tered.
Finally the amrhithcatrc Of the Coos

+ the medical colleges in the country an
uOHnccd that they would take the burned
ont students free; but in spite of this al
Turing offer, more than half have stood by
and are now going forward with their
! course Of studies at the Rush.
REBUILDING N CONTEMPLATION.
! The Post is enabled to announce that
the Rush Medical College will be main
/ tanned, and that during next summer capa-
cious and convenient buildings will be
! built somewhere in the city, and so equip
! ped as to place the institution once more
in the foremost rank. 1t is as yet uncer-
| tain whether the buildings Will be located
| on the old site; the trustees think it pos
sibIe to find preferable place. The re-
furnishing of the institution with library,
cabinets, laboratory, and implements, is at
present the cause of some anxiety, and a
movement is on foot to enlist the alumni in
that noble work. 1t is believed that there
is enough wealth and devotion to alma
Mater to replace the splendid equipments
| and restore the Rush to its former pros
perity.

A GHOST STORY

Crushed to Death in a Cathedral Clock.
The bell-ringer in the Cathedral of
WurtZburg has perished under very
singular circumstances. The church
possesses splendid clock, with pom
derous and complicated works, while
pendulum of proportionate length
yibratcs to and fro with dull and
monotonous fliud. Recently the clock
needed cleaning, and the ringer was
deputeG to superintend the work,
though he ruefuIly endeavored to be
excused from the task. 1t seems that
he had never willingly approached
tho belfry, from certain unpleasant
associations. About twenty years
ago he had killed mis- predecessor in
Office, accusing him of carrying on a
criminal intrigue with his wife. When
brought to trial he escaped the gal
lows owing to a deficiency of legal
proof. 10 518g.
The patronage of one of the Can
mons then procured him the appoint
ment vacant through the death of his
victim. Hence, it is said, arose his
superstitious dread in connection with
the belfry, which was supposed to be
haunted by the ghost of the murder
ed ringer. On the morning when the
clockswas to be cleaned it was sud-
denly stopped, and the bell-ringer
was nowhere to be found. A work
man from the town was sent for, and
assembled the tower, when he was hor-
ritied to find the pendulum and low er
works dripping with blood. Upon
searching further, the body of the
bell-ringer was found entangled in
