\ COSTLY MURDER CASE---The
famous Greenville murder case,
which has already cost Oswego
county, New York, $4,000, will
come to the front again next month.
Greenlield's escape from the gal
lows thus far has been remarkable.
He is indicted tor killing his wife
in the town of Orwell, Oswego
county, on October p, 1875. The
first Jury disagreed; the second
found him guilty, and he has been
twice sentenced to be hanged, the
first time on May II, 1877, the Sc
cond time on March %, 1878.
Every advantage which the law
gave has been taken by the prison
er's counsel to keep him from the
gallows. On June 16 the case was
to have been retried,and would have
been but for the blunder Of the
clerk of the court. Now Gov. Rob

Great Storm i'm Pennsylvania

TERRIBLE DISASTERS IN THE OIL AND
COAL CoUNTRY-HOUsEs SWEPT
AwAY-MINES FLOoDED-NARRow
ESCAPES, ETC.
PITrsBURG, Pa, July 27.-The
storm yesterday, though not so Sc
we're in this city or immediate vi
cinity, was fearful in its effects in
surrounding villages and country
The principal damage here was IN
washing out of streets and side
walks. The storm throughout the
lower oil country was very damag,
ing. The oil towns of Petrolia and
Harms City suffered terribly. Tween,
ty-fve houses in the former place
were swept away and destroyed, and
the line Of railroad between Parker
and Karus City was submerged,
bridges washed out, culyerts destroy
ed and the road bed ruined In many
places. The people of that section
in many instances barely escaped
with their lives. The rainfall uF
the Monongahela valley and along
the line of the Baltimore and Ono
railroad. which skirts the Youghlo'
gheny, was the heaviest known ioi
years. Houses, fences, outbnlld-
ings. lumber and other property
were swept away and many OF the
coal mines flooded. The miners in
in some of them narrowly escaped
drowning. At Shroder's mines,
near Elizabeth, the men waded
through water to their chins. Near
ly all the railroad lines centerlne
here, with the exceptions OF the
Pennsylvania Central, report more
or less damage and consequent de-
lay of traffic. The only known loss
Of life so far reported is that OF Mrs.
Daily, who was drowned in attemp-
ting to cross a creek near Shaner's
Station, on the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad. The damage to growing
crops has been very great but the
loss cannot be estimated. AT lr-
wins Station the rainfall is report
ed to have reached seven inches,and
the Youghiogheny Branch railroad
was damaged in several places, the
force of the water being so great
as to break the steel rails. The
railroad people are hard at work in
all directions. and will have the
damage repaired in the shortest pos
siblc time.

WINNIPEG, MINI, July 24.-Ihe
Battleford Herald Of June 80 says the .e
BIackfeet and Sarces Indians, who 1t
was supposed had gone home, have re-
turned to Battleford, being unable te
cross south of the Saskatchewan, owing
to high water. The condition OF the
indians is terrible in the extreme. RAJ
tons of tea and flour are but one re-
move from starvation, accustomed as
the Indians are to animal food. The
indians are quite willing to work farm
which has been opened and upon which
a number have been engaged: The
Indians are living partially on wild
turnips and ldrhubaro, without which
their sufferings would be intensified
There are about l 900 Indians at Bat
tleford. and while everything IS pacific
now. serious complications may ensue
owing to the rumofs Of Sitting Bulls
intentions on the boundary.

BLAINE TIED UP IN MAINE.-Sen-
ator Blaine writes here that he will
have to cancel his engagements for
Ohio. 1t seems that the campaign in
Maine promises to be very active on all
ides. aud the republicans feel that they
sare far from beng sure ola victory.
The quarrels between the republican
leoders have not been adjusted, so that
there still exists a lukewarmness
among the disappointed. The success
sion to Hamlin IN the Senate is the
great bone of contention. Congressman
FRYE and Reed and ex-COngressmen
Eugene Hale aud Peters are candida
ties. Blaine is acting as peacemaker.
Another reason Blaine has for not
going to Ohio is that Gen. Ewing is his
cousin, and there exists between them
a warm personal friendship.

dent occurred at this place at $40
P. NJ. yesterday, by which Mr.
Frederick Linburg lost his life, Mrs.

serious injuries,and Ella Rexroods'
little girl, nine years old, was Sc
seriously injured that no hopes oil
her recovery are entertained. 1t was
announced that the Rev. j. Thos'
Haynes was to preach at Mt. Zion
NJ. E. Church, at this place, and a
vast concourse of people was NOV
ing toward the church, walking on
the railroad. When near the church
the Eastern-bound train was passed
by the western-bound train, drawn
by engine No. 400. The injured
parties with numbers Of other were
walking on the track of the western
bound train, and though it was
coming in front of them, it is sup
posed that the din created by
the eastem-bound train passing
them prevented them from hearing
the whistle, which the engineer o.
400 sounded. There is an abrupt
curve at this point, which pre-
vented the parties from seeing the
engine lar ahead. 1t dashed into
the company, throwing all from the
track. breaking Mrs. Llngburg $
