TWO REMARKABLE EScArEs.
One Of the most remarkable escapes incl
dent to the food was made yesterday, when
two children were taken out alive from the
| dfbris on East street. One of them was
ltt!e boy, aged about ten years. lie was
| found ct the bottom Of huge pile of rub
| Dish near Vista street. The boy was hardly
recognizable rs a human being, but he was
alive, and thus taken out. A lady took pos
session of him, and after having him washed
and dressed. took him to n physician. 1t Is
said that be had on arm broken in two
places. He was badly bruised otherwise and

The other child was little girl. She was
| found in house that had been washed from
| its foundation and was partly wrecked In
the attic she had evidently gone for self-pre-
Serya,ion. and it was there that she was
found. She was much exhausted. but not
otherwise hurt, though much emaclated.
and it is belle, ed that she will also survive.
She WAS kindly cared for by charitable
| LADY.
I In another instance family by the name
of Giperic came down the current on the
| roof of frame house, screaming for help,
| but no one could lend q helping hand, as 1t
seemed every one had all they could do to
save their own lives. The building, with
its precious freight, moved on until it
reached O'Han street, when the Skitf g Baby
| Annie" in the hands Of the Duquesue Boat
Cub. went to the rescue, and succeeded in
saving MIR. Giperic, bis wife and child, an
infant nine days old.
| HEROIC ACT.
Mr.. Sample, who had been out in the yard
/, ha
house and tod his wife that they must leave
or be drowned. Suddenly the water began
to rise, and in a few minutes it was three or
four feet high. Mrs. Sample told her huS-
band to take the baby and she would follow.
Mr.. SAMPLE was detained but few seconds
in getting the child, but so rapidly had the
stream swollen that the wafer was over bis
head by the tine he had stepped down from
the Threshold. He fell three times in his
vain efforts to stem the raging torrent, and
he and the child would both undoubtedly
have found their death in the waters but for
the heroism of John Stoby and a man
named Paxon, who, regardless of the danger
TO which they exposed themselves, rushed in
and saved them. Mrs. Sample remained but
a moment after her husband, but the instant
she left the door she was carried away to
meet her death. The house was lifted up
and dashed to pieces in little time after the
occupants had made their exit Dir. Sam
ole. standing en- the bank, saw this, and eH-
claimed in the bitterness and sorrow OF his
heart, "My God, my house is gone. my wife
is goue.'
DEATH RECORD COMPLETED.
| Mr.. ConnoI's house, still farther down,
was likewise carried away, and be and
Elizabeth jane Lee both persisted. When
their bodies were subsequently discovered
about mile and half down the stream the
woman was clutching with the tenaclty OF
death to Mr. Conlor's arm, and it required
considerable force TO loosen her grasp. No
more lives of persons living on this branch
were lost. but just where it empties into
Saw.NIil run stands the house OF Mr.. George
lJoueS, upon which the waters rushed with
terrific force, with no warning whatever.
George and Lizzie, two of his children,
both bright and intelligent, were caught up,
carried away, and drowned. In endearor-
inc TO rescue them Mr. Jones came near los
in~ his own life. The waters were rushing
swiftly past bis residence, and be was una.

BROKEN HEART.
We now have fully covered the loss of life
on Sawmil run by the great disaster, with
the exception of Mrs. Jones, living in the
Company's row. This lady had sent her
little boy TO neighbours on al erraLd, and
when she saw the waters rushing past the
house, and afterward being damned up until
they almost filled the valley, her fear that he
WAS lost became so intense that she could
toply wildly scream for her absent child,
until she suddenly fell upon the floor a
corpse.
| A number of the bodies of the victims
were found on Monday, and yesterday those
of Catharine Ann McVay and William
Horseley were discovered. Mr.. McVay's
chjld's remains were found Embedded in
| 6kjris in William COTS yard, in Temper
anceville. and William Horseley's floating
| in the Ohio at the Ninth ward, Allegheny.
Both bodies are now at an undertaking
establishment in Temperancevlle, but neither
has any living ones to mourn them.
