l in. A number of persons were on it, three of whom were thrown into the water and
 carried away by the current which was rum l ming at rate of from seven to eight miles
 per hour. One of them, youth of ten years named Bsrtholotnew, got on to piece
 of timber and was rescued after many at-
 tempts, but his companions; Albert Pierce and E. Robinson, were drowned. Their
 piercing cries for help could be
 heard for some time as they were hurried
 along to death. From their position in the
 centre of the stream and the suddenness of
 the accident all efforts to save them were
 fruitless. Their bodies have not been re-
 covered In consequence of fallen wires it
 is difficult to. obtain information from the
 rest of the State. At Oil City, where Oil

 BRADFORD, Pa, Feb. 4.-The rain which fell during the last thirty hours this morning raised the water in Tuna Creek and last night the city was visited with most disastrous flood which inundated more than half of the 1 business streets.

 and delivered the knives and rifle. Amid in-

 dently as sharp as razors, and 6 Snider rife,
 which is quite new. The knives were eagerly
 examined by the magistrates. While this was proceeding there was just a shade of uneasi- ness visible among the prisoners. Among other things the witness deposed that James Carey sometimes visited the loft where the knives were found.
 A chairmaksr named Hands identified O'Brien as one of the four men lying near to the scene of the murder, and Brady as being close by shortly before it was perpetrated. Hands identified Brady as the driver of the car on which the Phoenix Park assassins rode. Upon his identifying O'Brien, the latter att tempted to smile, but soon afterward broke into @ profuse precipitation. Hands, unlike the other witnesses, was severely cross-exam- ined by the counsel for the prisoners. When he had left the stand his wife WAS called. The prisoners, during the opening of her examin- ation, quietly shifted their places in the dock. Upon her turning to identify them there was some controversy as to whether they ought not to resume the order of their standing in which O'Brien and Brady had been identified by MT. Hands. Mrs. Hands, however, easily identified them
 Several medical witnesses were called to show that the wounds on the dead men and the cuts on their clothing were inflicted by instruments similar to those produced in court. Several other witnesses identified Brady and McCaffrey as lurking under the trees in the park on the evening of the mur- der, and as occupants of furiously driven car that left the park on that evening. The case was adjourned until tomorrow during the widest excitement.
 3An attempt was made to-day to assassinate Connolly, an important witness in the trial of the eight men charged with complicity in the Phoenix Park murders.

Hall Brought Back to Newark

Hall Brought Back to Newark.
 NEWARK, Feb. 4.-Hall, the accomplice of Palmer in the $500, 900 robbery of the city of Newark, arrived in charge of two detec. tives at the Market street depot at 4:30 this afternoon. A large crowd was around the depot all the afternoon in anticipation of his arrival and it was with some difficulty that the officers got him into cab and drove to the William street station. It will be remem- bered in connection with this case that when Palmer had made up his mind to make clean breast of the whole affair Hall took his departure for Canada, in whose courts his counsel have persistently fought against his extradition. It is anticipated now that Hall has returned he will make a clean breast of the whole thing and necessarily humble some heads that are held very erect at the present time. It was mentioned by one of the Alder men in the Newark Common Council on Fri day last that some $s5, ,O00 of temporary loan bonds had been surreptitiously issued and it is expected that this fact will play an impor- tant part in Halls trial, which will take place at an early day.

A storm Brewing-TroubIe Expected
 From Socialists and Soldiers.
 PARIS, Feb. Alt is now undeniable that the socialists and communists are watching for the passage of the repatriation measures with the idea of seizing upon that action as an excuse for attacking and pillaging the va rious residences of the exiled princes, espe- cially the elegant chateau of the Duke of Aumale at ChantiIy, where there is an i'm mense and priceless collection of art and lit erary treasures To this fear is attached the apprehension that the army, which has never been over loyal to the Republican idea, may suddenly produce some turbulent and com handing spirit like Miramon Serrano or Prim, who might make his way to military dictatorship, if not an empire, through the imbecility of the nerveless hands which now hold the reins of government. It is evident at any rate that another storm is brewing for France and the chief subject of speculative interest is the question from which quarter it will burst.

A Clever Scheme-A Grocer Robbed While
 Disabled by Hat Full of Mo asses
 damned Down Over His Head.
 NEW YORK, Feb IA robbery committed under peculiar and ludicrous circumstances WAS yesterday evening explained to the Gen. tral office authorities. The story told by the friends of the victim is that on Friday afternoon well dressed stranger entered the grocery store at the corner of West Eleventh and Washington streets, and asked John H. Won Dohlen, the proprietor, who was then behind the counter, to change ten dollar bill. The groceryman took roll of bills from his pocket and gave his visitor two five dollar bills There was in all about $500 in the bundle of greenbacks which Won Dohlen foolishly displayed. A short time afterward two young men neatly dressed walked into the store. They appeared quite merry and laughed loudly. One of them said to Won Dohlen that they had made rather odd bet and wanted him to settle it. Won Dohlen asked the nature of the bet, whereupon he was told that they desired to know which one of their hats would hold the most molasses. The groceryman laughed, but when one of the strangers gave him his hat and said he would pay for the .molasses used Won Dohien began filling it with the syrup. When the hat had been filled to the brim Von Dohlen gave it back to the stranger. second after one of the men grabbed the storekeeper about the arms, while his comrade placed the hat filled with molasses on his head. They then rifed his pockets and relieved him of his roll of greenbacks. After securing the money the men ran out of the store, and Von Dohlen, although nearly smothered, started in pursuit, but after running several blocks gave up the chase. As the trick is new the police are anxious to discover the ingenious young men.

Arrests for Causing False Fire Alarms.
 NEW YORK; Feb 4.-For several years past the fire department of this city has been greatly annoyed by false alarms being almost nightly sent out from the alarm boxes in diff ferent parts of the city. Every effort was made to capture the offenders, but without avail Recently the annoyance became so frequent as to be dangerous. An appeal was made by the fire commissioners to Police Superintendent Walling, who detailed num- Der of his best Central office detectives to work up the case. After several weeks of hard work the detectives finally obtained a clue to the rufians and on Saturday night they arrested William McCabe and took him. to the police headquarters where he con fessed that he was the leader of the fire fend gang. To-day, upon information furnished by McCabe the detectives arrested as accom- plices William Hughes, John Connolly, Mich ael O'Donnell, Edward and Richard O'Keefe, Daniel Kenny, Solon Swift and Horatlo F. Courtney They were all locked up at head quarters and will be taken to court to-mor- row morning.
