When the deluge came they were in the
third story and the house was carried
against brick block and was partly
broken up, but stuck fast. Davis foot
got crushed in between the timbers and
he was held fast. Every effort was made
to release him, but to no avail. With one
child clinging to her neck and the babe
on her shoulders, Mrs. Davis worked des
perately, but the fastened foot could not
be extricated and the water continued to
rise.
Men dived down into the water to see
what held the foot The water reached
Mrs. Davis laid her babe in the water and
pulled with renewed energy. The debris
came pouring in and upon them. striking
them on every side.
The water came up to her husbands
nose, and while, with brave energy, Mrs.
Davis attempted to rescue him, she never
lost sight of her children, who, at times,
she held above her head to keep them
from drowning.
Then the roof was taken off the build
ing, the floor lifted up and fioated down
against another building, where it lodged,
and Mrs. Davis and her children were
rescued.

Colonel Grimes Has Some Visitors at
Snake Hill.

Colonel Grimes Has Some Visitors at
Snake Hill.
The charges of Freeholder McDonough,
of Jersey City. against Colonel Grimes,
the Warden of the Penitentiary at Snake
Hill, and the complaints of the keepers
that the meat given to the prisoners was
unfit for use, caused the Hudson County
Grand Jury-simultaneously with the
suggestion of THE JERSEY CITY NEWS
that it be done-to visit the county in
stitu'ion, yesterday.
Grand Jurors Brown, Curran, Smith
and Malone took an active part in
the investigation. Colonel Grimes
stated that the keepers were
in the habit of absenting themselves
without consulting him, and that he
could do nothing to prevent it. He as
serted that the meat was as good as could
be procured, and complimented the con-
tractor.
He said that it was impossible for bad
meat to get into the institution, as he him
self personally inspected it before letting
it pass.
County Superintendent Cannon, and
DR.. King, of the Lunatic Asylum, con-
Cured in saying that the meat was excel
lent
Although it is against the rules of the
Penitentiary for underkeepers to release
prisoners without the consent
of the Warden, Grand Juror
Curran was informed that it is
frequently done. While going over the
books Mr. Curran found that which led
him to believe that Keeper James Wad-
dick had received pay for eighty days,
during which he had not once been at
Snake Hill.

Latest Estimate of Lives

in the Flood.
WOMAN'S PlTlFUL STORY.

JoHysTowN, Pa, June 6, 1ss9.-The los
of life by the foods in the towns of Minis
eral Point, Franklinborough, East Cone
maugh, Wood Vale, Kernville, Cambria,
Minersville, Morrellyille, Sheridan and
Coopersdale, which, with Johnstown, con-
stitute the string of communities in the di-
rect path of the flood, is about 1900, and
the loss of property about s6,O00,00o.
The loss of life at Johnstown proper is
but little more than guess. 1t was too
large place for anybody to know, every
body and the survivors are so scattered that
the registration of the living, which has
reached $4,000 in the district, indicates
nothing. The loss in the smaller towns
is obtained from leading men in each, who
have in a measure got their heads again,
and are able to think with some GOODNESS.
In detail the loss falls as follOWS:-

years ago, but some question was
raised concerning it. The fear that
doubt might prevent the negotiation of
bonds with which the boulevard is to be
built prompted friendly suit in court to
try the questions. The decision that the
bill is constitutional is the result.
Chief Justice Beasley says the charter
decision will probably not be filed this

4 DOSE OF LAUDANUM.
Miss Laura Schroeder Gets
Poison for a Cholera
Mixture.
DRUGGIST DAKIN'S MISTAKE.
Quick Work Saves the Woman's
Life and She Is Now Recovering.

Miss Laura Schroeder, a saleswoman in
nue., had a narrow escape from death yes
terday morning. She was given dose of
laudanum instead OF cholera mixture.
Miss Schroeder complained of feeling ill
yesterday, and friend went to Dakin's
drug store, at Henderson street and New
ark avenue, to obtain some Sun Cholera
Mixture. Mr.. Dakin was busy when the
lady entered, but he dropped his work and
filled the order.
After Miss Schroeder had taken the
mixture she became drowsy and some one
who smelled of the bottle said that it con-
ta1ned laudanum. DR.. Rector was hastily
summoned and Miss Schroeder's friends
walked her up and down the floor to
keep her awake
The Doctor said she had taken lauda-
mum, and he prescribed emetics. He
then ordered the young lady to be taken
to her home, and this morning she was
pronounced to be out of danger.
DIR. Rector, when l asked him about the
mistake, said that there was about two
grains of opium in the dose Miss Schroe-
der took, and while single grain would,
In most cases, prove fatal, the young lady
was in no danger as she was treated in
time.
DR.. Rector further said that as he under
stood the matter, the druggist keeps his
laudanum bottle next the bottle contain
ing the Sun Cholera Mixture, and being a
very near sighted man he took the laud-
mum by mistake.
Druggist Dakin's explanation of the
affair is that he keeps two kinds of
cholera mixture and made a mis-
take, giving the young lady one kind
which contains little more opium than
the Sun mixture He says that he has been
in the drug business twenty-five years
and never had anything like this happen
before

A country home for the sick poor was
the object of an interesting fair given last
night in the lecture room of the Holy In

was there, and explained that the idea
was taken from The JERSEY CITY NEWS,

"Since the few days ago that the Jersey
City paper commenced its strong cham

1--WE have collected over 500 among the
small congregations of our small churches.
We hope TO have three times the amount
before another week, and will conclude
arrangements for one or other of the
places we are negotiating for"
The paper deserves credit for its fight,
and before the summer is through you
will see good results,o he added 'sThe
plan in my mind is to hire large house
far away in the country, where we can
get some pasture land, in order to keep
cows, chickens and few sheep. The
sisters will be in charge, and if we come
across case of sickness or extreme pow
erty, where change of air is needed, we
take them in charge"
The ROOM which was large one, was
was well decorated, and a lot of fancy and
useful articles were placed for sale.
There were large tables filled with candies,
refreshments, ornaments and other arti-
cles, each attended by three or four girls
in white dresses.
A very handsome silk patchwork and
embroidery quilt was also for sale. 1t
