few years by kindred societies; and that, too,
with an expense so light that it has proved
not to be burden upon its members, which
not only Increases its popularity, but brings it
within reach of those most needing its protec-
ton and aid.
Any person, male or female, may become a
member of this association If in good health

The Flood at Pittsburg.

PTrrsBuRG, July 27.--Heavy showers
fell all day yesterday, but at night the
rain fell in torrents. The full loss of
life is not reported. The Allegheny
tunnel of the Pan Handle railroad was
flooded with four feet of water. 1t is
impossible for the train to pass. The
torrents from the hills swept the
houses, tearing them TO pieces. The
loss of life Is estimated at fifty persons.
The bridges at Carson street are swept
away, and large number of coal
barges. Thus far, sixteen bodies have
been recovered.
For more than q mile out on Spring
Garden avenue, Allegheny City, the
work of destruction is is everywhere
seen. Houses are thrown together in
heaps. Some twenty-five or thirty
slaughter houses on the avenue are
washed away. Many buildings not to-
tally destroyed are seriously damaged.
The water rising to the height of lif-
teen feet, Hooded the first floors of all
the houses, and in many places the
second stories.
Several houses were swept Into the
middle of the street. Others were
carried hundreds of yards and shatter-
ed to pieces. Houses containing two

ANOTHER MURDER.
A German Shot Down While Walking
Along the Railroad Track.
lshroyenort TImes, gSlh.l

We are called upon this morning to
record another cold-blooded and mys-
terious murder, which was consummat-
ed about mile and n half this side of
Greenwood, in the early morning hours
Of Saturday. 1t seems that the man
was first seen by n negro named Field
ing Butler, who informed the section
boss whom he was working under of
what he had seen, Thompson, the
boss, ordered the men TO put the hand
ear on the track, and they all pro-
ceeded to the place where the body
was lying. Here they found II man
apparently IL German, about thirty
years of age, five feet seven or eight
inches in height, with sandy hair and
whiskers. He was of chunky build,
and had on II pair of yellow cotton
pants, blue wooden shirt, and Il dark
colorcd coat, The pockets We're riiled
and his shoes and hat had been taken
away, the imprint of the boots still re-
manning in the feet of the body, Jus.
tice WhitwCrth was notified and an
inquest held. a close examination of
the body revealed the presence of
twelve buckshot in the person of de-
ceased. One had grazed the ear, one
lodged in the center of his neck, one
had penetrated his shoulder and the
balance We're in the back of his head.
Sheriff Flournoy yesterday arrested
two negroes on suspicion--Ficlding
Butler and West MELVILLE and
brought them to this city. A close
questioning of these parties failed to
enlist any new light upon the case,
and up TO late hour last night no def
mite clue to the murderers had been
obtained. There will probably be other
arrests made to-day.
The footprints of two persons were
discovered behind small thorn bush
some twelve feet from the body, where
the murderer or inurderers had evil
IDENTIFY been lying in wait, and from
where the shots were fired. Appear
ances would indicate that one or two
negroes-there had been several play
ing cards in a shanty very near the de-
pot all night on the platform of which
depot the murdered man slept Friday
night--had come on In advance of him
and awaited his coming down the rail-
road. Mr.. Thompson heard two shots
fired in rapid succession about 3 A. NJ,
in the direction of where the body was
found.
We neglected to state that time
table of the International railroad was
found in the pocket of the murdered
man, tact which might give some
clue To his identity.

As an evidence 'of the corruption
Of the present administration, and
of the Republican party generally,
and in Congress particularly, the
Democratic journals have for two or
three weeks been pointing gleefully
to the fact that Judge Richardson,
after having disgraced himself in the
position of Secretary of the Treasury,
and having been justly kicked out,
was nominated by Pres't Grant and
confirmed by the Senate as Associate
Justice of the Court of Claims. Here
the aforesaid journals stop, lmagin-
ing they have made a point which
will stir up indignation against the
wicked Radical party. 1t IS TACT
however, that every Democrat pres
ent in the Senate when the vote was
taken, voted for Richardson's confir-
nation, and thus endorsed him as q
man favorable to the peculiar sort OF
reforms which the Democracy are
80 vigorously advocating.

RATES OF ADVERTISING.

The editor of the Democrat labors
very hard this week to clear up his
knavish trickery in attempting to
cheat Mr.. Short and Mr.. Rouze out
of the positions given them by the
Anti-Monopoly Convention on the
delegation to the Congressional Con-
vention. He charges the JOURNAL.
man" with having purloined the
original list from the Secretary's
table in the convention;
and intimates that he was
compelled to write the list for his
paper from memory. Statements
would do very we'll but for the fact
that neither Of them is true. For
the first we care nothing. Nc. has q
chronic habit of crying ''stop thief"
and everybody knows what the cry
means. The plea that he wrote the
list of forty-eight names from memo
ry and only made two mistakes, and
those two in emitting two Republi-
can farmers and Changers, and sub
stituting two Democratic lawyers, is
too absurd for belief. If he per-
formed such feat as this his memo
ry must have been much better at
that time than would be indicated by
the fact which he admits, that he
went out and left his papers upon
the table. H..
Further, this story does not agree
with the statement made In explana-
nation when Mr.. Short went to SEQ
the gentleman about the matter,
with the original list in his hand.
Then the editor told Mr.. Short that
the boys in the office made the mis-
take referred to in setting the types.
This was also as absurd as untrue.
The burliest blacksmith or Bohemian
could not without intention make
mistakes OF such a nature; besides
there was too much method in them
for blunders.
The unvarnished facts are that tho
Senator copied the original lists be-
fore he left the hall, and having
copies, he cared nothing for the orig
inals, and hence left them upon the
table as worthless. But for the fact
that the paper was picked up after
the convention adjourned, Messrs.
Short and Rouze would never have
known that they were delegates, and
| Messrs. Bousquet and Crozier would
never have imagined that they were
not. The explanation won't do; and
crying thief at the JOURNAL man
won't help it.
