HAPLESS FISHERMEN.
Thousands of Newfoundla ndcrs Dying of
Starvation ON Account of the Failure of
the Fisheries.

Thousands of Observation-Disclosures Dying of
Starvation on Account of the Failure of
the Fisheries.
OTTAWA, Ont, July 24.-Hon. A. r.
Widell, of Newfoundland, arrived here last
evening to interview the Dominion Gov
ernment and ask that they give aid to
fishermen along the coast Of Newfoundland
and Labrador. He tells talc
OF horror that would make the heart
bleed. The fishermen, owing to the scar
city OF the catch through tine ice not break
ing up. are literally starving to death.
The Government of the island have stepped
in and are doing what they can to help
but are not able to cope with the large
number OF cases which must have imme.
diate assistance. Altogether $50 people
have died OF starvation, and 1880 are on
the verge OF death for want OF food. In
one settlement OF forty-two. twenty-four
died during tho month OF June. In an.
other settlement OF fifty-three eleven
died. while in yet another settlement
OF seventy-two twelve succumbed for
want Of bread. The description given by
Widell is heartrending and ngonizing in
the extreme. These poor people in thoir
poverty cling with bitter tenacity to their
native island. and will not go elsewhere to
obtain work. As yet there are no signs of
tho ice brenking up, and winter again sets
in in October. 1t is doubtful, however, II
the Government will agree to give actual
aid, but it will certainly give steamers to
convey food to the distressed, and nj O
will take any OF the sufferers to tho Domin-
ion, where they can secure abundance Of
work. Whatever is done must bo done
quickly, or the loss OF life through sheer
hunger will be great.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, July 6.--Shortly before
noon to-day rain-storm passed over Alle-
ghcny and this city. For half an hour
rain and hail descended in torrents, doing
immense damage, threatening repetition
of the great Butchers Run food, whereby
thirty-seven lives were lost and of which
to-day is the twelfth anniversary. The
lower portion of the two cities suffered the
greatest damage. Cellars, first floors of
dwellings and store-rooms were flooded !;
fences and outhouses washed away. Tele.
graph and telephone wires are down in all
directions. A number of streets are i'm
passable, and trains on several railroads
have been temporarily abandoned ON ac-
count of slides and wash-outs. The damage
is estimated at nearly S20O,000 No loss of
life has as yet been reported. The damage
by this mornings storm will probably
reach S350.000. The storm was the
most severe known for many years.
From almost every town along the
rivers reports are coming in of great dam
age. Houses were flooded and struck bv
lightning, crops destroyed and trees and
fences washed away. Almost every rail-
road entering the city suffered from land
slides and washouts Whole fields of wheat
and corn have been destroyed, and at one
point near Evans City IA strip of woodland
seventy-five yards wide by three-quarteIs
of mile long was leveled by tornado

day afternoon into the East river. Short
ly after two o'clock lumber wagon was
noticed passing over the bridge with two
men riding in it. Something in the air of
one of the men attracted the notice

the wagon as it went on. When

post one of the men stood up and took
his coat Off He looked around. and care
lessly said to the driver: "Well, here goes
for luck" He stepped from the wagon to
the rail. and without hesitating IL second
Jumped off. Less than twenty people were
near at the time. The man fell down
straight to the water 12O feet below
striking in II bunch. but with. his feet first.
He sank from sight and reappeared mo-
ment later with both hands at his chest as
il in pain. A skiff, which was lowering
near with some men in it, rapidly came up
and took the man in. The boat was pulled
to the foot OF Dover street and landed.
In the meantime three police officers OF
the bridge squad had run around and
down to the pier. They arrested the man
and took him to the Oak street station.
He did not seem to be much injured by his
terrible fall and walked along without any
assistance. followed by mob of cheering
boys and men. The leap was tine result OF
a 500 wager.

ALBANY, N. Y. July 22.-Albany people
have given themselves up, body and soul,
to-day to the task of celebrating the incor-
poration of their city by Governor Thomcs
Dougan. just two hundred years ago. The
uproar that broke loose ut midnight, when
the bells announced the arrival of the an
niversary, continued until daylight Men,
boys, and even women went up and down
the principle streets blowing horns and
singing until morning came. Men and boys
organized themselves into marching bands
and went from one part of the city to an
other, blowing two or three horns together
and stopping before hotels and private res
idcnces and giving impromptu serenades.
Small cannon kept up their salutes and
bonfires lighted up the principal streets,
and the red fires glow was reflected from
the skies above until they paled in the gray
of approaching morning.
