A Terrible Disaster.

Reading, Sept. GA terrible disas-
ter occurred in Forest county on Thurs
day last. The mountain streams
becoming greatly swollen from q storm,
the waters flooded the partly settled
valleys near Ralston, a newly-opened
numbering hamlet. Two cabins, occu-
pied by Geo. Parks and Daniel Cooper,
wood-choppers, were washed down the
mountain side into the stream at an
early hour in the morning. The Parks
family consisted of seven persons, the
father, mother and five children. There
were nine members of Cooper's family,
Cooper, his wife, six children and Mrs.
Adams, mother of Mrs. Cooper. The
l6 persons were all drowned and their
bodies carried away and jammed be-
tween a boom of logs in Forest creek.
The houses were completely wrecked.
Two persons were drowned near Smith
port, in Tioga county. Three lives are
known to have been lost and four per-
sons were drowned at Willsport.

Says the Black Hills Pioneer: He
was coming down. Main street the 9TH
er day with a revolver in each bootleg,
and just a little top-heavy, when a nan
happened to rub against him inpassing.
Our bloodthirsty hero of the bootsjump-
ed of the sidewalk, and fiourished a pis-
toll aloft, yelling: "Now look yer every
body in this yer gulch; look at me, and
crawl I'm Wild Cat Tip, from Bear
Gulch. / didn't come to Deadwood to
be insulted, so get out here a half-dozen
of yer sons o. guns, an form a line o.
battle cause l can't hold onto this yer
hammer much longer; SO trot them
out" About this time some n in the
crowd fired a pistol in the air, and SIM
u~ltaneously a rotten egg struck Tip be-
tween the eyes. Dropping his revolver
and throwing both hands in the air, he
yelled "I'm murdered" and fell heav-
lily to the ground. After he realized
just what had happened he Strengthened
up, and looking around exclaimed,
while he wiped the decomposed egg
from his face, "Now boys, that's a
rough joke, but I'll stand it'll I'll take
it all, only let me see the calibre of the
gun what shoots eggs" Not gaining
the desired information, he silently
stole away. So endeth the first chapter
of "Wild Cat Tip, from Bear Gulch."

New York, Sept. 23.-The explosion
at Hell Gate is the talk of the people

storm yesterday to look for the last time
at the excavation, and not a few ladies
walked with perfect GOODNESS owe the
mine of $1,000 pounds of the most
destructive of known explosives. AT
ten last evening the wires were con-
nected and taken into the bomb-proof.
The shaft was then entirely clear Of
debris and the workmen assembled the
stairs for the last time. When the mi
ners reached the ground above cheers
were given for Gen. Newton, Capt
Mercur, Mr. Boyle, MI. Strendenger
and a successful blast. At 1920 dis
patches were sent to Washington that
the work had been completed. At
midnight Capt. Mercur ordered the
gate of the siphon opened and Barney
Boyle turned the valve. The water
howled through the iron pipe, resound-
ing through the galleries with the roa

pleted without accident. All that re-

which l considered urgent compelled

Her suffer ings were very great and continued through a period of seven long weeks.

 Now comes the time for anmating inter- ests and pleasures that the early autumn season yields, aud, with it also, to some is assigned the sorrows of saddest Der cave ment. An instance of this came to pass in this place last week. Miss Nellie P. Bird, the only child of MT. James Bird, principal of the Sedgewick Institute here, was pros- trated by violent illness which reached fatal termination on the eighth day. Sin cere regard for the family, and tender sym pathy in their grief, drew together a very large number friends at the fun eral. The careful attention bestowed in adapting the music to funeral occasions is to be noted.
 The services were introduced by singing the very familiar hymn, ''Shall we,gather at the rlver?" The manner ot rendering ad- ded to the concert of sentiment which ap. peared to pervade the whole company.
 The Scripture readings were as always by Rev. MT, Scudder. very grateful to the feelings. A touching address by D. E. Prime D. of New York, (relative of the family), was listened to with affecting in terest. The method of general attendance on funerals, custom not SO universal in many places, seems here to have this effect; those who were inconsolable under the first touch of stroke that made breach in their domestic circle, will afterward sit with others in sorrow, and quietly shed the tears of fond memory, mingling now in the depths of their own past bereavement a thankful acceptance of those blessed conso- lations that they at first could not appropri- ate to themselves, 'Thy word is found of me and eat it, and it is the joy of my soul". ......On Sabbath morning Bishop Pad. dock of Boston, at St. James Church, gave one of those beautiful serm ons that yield delighted satisfaction to hearers.
