The Parents Look Helplessly on While

PITTSBURGH, Pa, July l7.-Last night,
about II O'Clock, the residence Of Josiah N.
Evans, . small two-story log hut, three
miles from Grahsmpton, Cleardeld County,
was destroyed by fire, and six of lis child
rem, ranging in age from six to fifteen
years, cremated. Evans was awakened by
strange noises, and under the impression
that burglars were about, took his gun and
went outside to investigate. To his hor-
ror he discovered his humble dwelling
in flames. He quickly gave the alarm, but
before he could reach his six children, who
were sleeping on the second floor, the roof
fell in, and in few minutes the building
was all ablaze. His wife and three younger
children, sleeping on the lower floor, were
taken out safely, but the parents were
forced to see the others perish in the
flames This morning intelligence Of the
fearful calamity spread rapidly through
out the county, and hundreds Of people were
soon drawn to the scene The mangled
remains Of four of the children, charred
and unrecognizable, were gathered up and
buried in one coffin. The other two were
apparently burned to ashes, as no trace of
their remains could be found. The parents
are crazed with grief, and the whole COM
munity Is excited over horror which has
no precedent in Clearfield County. The
father insists that the fire was undoubtedly
the work of an incendiary, and in this
opinion others share.

New YORK, July 9O.-Eighty prisoners
In the Kings County Penitentiary revolt
Cd, refusing to work, and the authorities
caused the leaders to be confined in dark
cells. This morning they promised that,
If they were released from these quarters,
they would behave themselves, and
their promises were accepted and
they were returned to their proper
cells Later in the day Warden Green dis
covered that, under the leadership Of 9
convict, Thomas Tivey, they had decided
to seize the first opportunity to kill their
keepers and escape. The Warden at once
went to Tivey's cell and told him he was
going to fog him. Tivey swore If he
opened the door he would brain him with
his stool, and all the other prisoners
began making threats at the same
time. The doors to the cells are so
constructed that, to open one, it is neces-
sary to open all, and there seemed pros
pect of very serious trouble. But the War
den did not finch. He ordered the keepers
to take their stations in the corridor, and
to shoot the first convict who stepped out
side of his cell. The doors were swung
open. but not man showed himself. War
den Green then went into the Tivey's cell
and brought him out, and had dozen
lashes administered on his bare back.
This squelched the revolt and work was re-
sumed.

DE LESSEPS' GENIUS.
A Discovery That Win Lead to I'M
portant Commercial Advantage.
A Large subterranean Lake Found In the
Gre It Desert.

LONDON, July 2O.-At the last meeting OF
che French Geographical Society, M. De
Lesseps described at length the success OF
the engineering operations accomplished
twoyears ago to discover water in the des-
ert tracks south of Tunis. Observations
were made particularly on the banks of the
Wady. Melah Lake, which are we'll watered
and habitable. He said that the water in
this lake is Of excellent quality and never
sinks, even in the hottest season. He con.
cluded from this fact that the lake COM
municates with deep sheet OF water
which keeps it constantly supplied. he,
therefore, ordered the engineers to make
bearings for the discovery Of this deep
supply, and the work resulted in the find
ing Of sheet off water at the depth Of
ninety -one metres. The well thus made, he
states yields eight thousand cubic metres
Of good water per minute, which
he regards as an ample supply
for all practical purposes. Count
de Lesseps' friends have obtained con:
cessions Of four hundred hectares OF land
adjoining Lake Wady- Melah, and he In
tends to plant palms and rear ostriches on
1t, and to establish a commercial colony.
This discovery has caused considerable ex-
element throughout the country, and 1t is
expected that the measures taken to i'm
prove the situation, and the active inter-
est taken in the scheme will largely develop
the commerce of that region in the interest
Of French settlers and traders.

War in Colombia.

WASHINGTON, July 2O.-Under date of
July l, Admiral Jouett has sent to the Navy
Department, from Savanilla, a report of
the condition of affairs in the United States
Of Colombia. He makes mention of a recent
battle between the government forces and
the revolutionists, in which 1 900 men were
said to have been killed. The Admiral says
the Government troops, numbering about
1000, have advanced from CaftaRe6,a to
Calomar, on the banks of The Mag
dalini River, where they are strongly
intrenched. Calomar is sixty-six miles
above Barranquilla In addition to this
land force, the Government has now an
efficient steamer, called the Cauca, which
Is armed as a vessel Of war. and is ready to
patrol the coast or to perform any naval
service which may be required of her. The
e,500 men, but the revolutionists have a
number Of large river steamers, and are,
therefore, able to move about freely
pn tho Magdalena River, while the
Government forces, having but two
small steamers are obliged to move by
land, and are, therefore, much impeded.
On June 10, Gen. Camargo, a very promi-
nent Colombian politician and leader, ar
rived at this port in an English steamer,
and, upon landing, Immediately assumed
command Of the revolutionary army. The
arrival Of Gen. Camargo, who is a violent
Liberal, effectually defeated the efforts to
secure peace by treaty, although there is
no doubt but that these efforts would
have been successful If be had re.
manned away awhile longer. General
Camargo attacked q force of about
1850 men with his whole army, and, al
though be claims to have won the battle,
admits that he suffered a severe loss, viii ch
includes seven of his best Generals. It IL
reported that each side lost about 500 men.
The revolutionists clearly intend to confine
their operations to the Megdaleua River
and the interior. This, together with the
fact that the Government has now q steam
vessel Of war on the Atlantic coast, insures
the Isthmw and vessels ON the high seas
against any chance Of disturbance by the
revolutionists.
