Two Children In Six Months.

A dispatch from Onancock, Va,
July 90, reports that q remarkable
case of parturition has just come to
light there. Ellen Hall, a young
colored woman residing in that town,
gave birth several days ago to male
child, making the second child she
has borne in the last six months. On
the 18th of last January she gave
birth to q male child in Baltimore,
where she was then living with her
husband, William Hall, a colored
drsyman. Finding that her condi-
tion did not change after she had
given birth to her child, she was in
duced to consult physic
ian, who, after an examina-
ton, informed her that they
would have another child In the
course of four or five months. In the
meantime she left Baltimore and
went to Onancock TO reside te mpor'
arily with her parents, who are among
the most respected colored people in
that community. Five months and
four days from the birth of her first
child she gave birth tn another finely
developed boy. Both the children
are alive and doing well, and tat
doctors say that the woman carried
both nine months before delivery. Al
the physicians there have investi-
gated the case, and unite in pro
nouncing it the most remarkable one
that has ever come within their ob
serYation.

Strange Death Of an Unknown Man at an
Hotel.
HoBoKEN, N. j., June la mystery
surrounds the body of man who was
found dead in room at the Eagle hotel,
on Hudson street. The body is now at
O'Hara's morgue, on Washington street.
There is nothing about the body to tell
whether the man was murdered, whether
he committed suicide or died natural
death, but the flesh on the side of the
neck is discolored as if decomposition
had set in, although, according TO the
police report, he has been dead but few
hours.
He registered at the hotel as John
Smith, Orange, N. j. In one of his pock-
cts was found card with the address Of
Miss Jane Barrow, New Brighton, s. /.
Twenty-nine cents were also found. The
police have no information as to the
mans identity or the manner in which
he met death. The people at the hotel
claim to know nothing of his identity
and cannot account for his death. Cor
oner O'Harra refused to give any infOr-
nation about the man. He claimed he
knew what his name was, but refused to
tell. The dead man is about 35 years old.
He was fairly well dressed, and wore .
silk mar. He had full, sandy beard.

ervoir was situated eighteen miles
northeast of Johnstown on the site Of
the old reservoir that was one of the
feeders of the Pennsylvania canal. It is
the property Of number OF wealthy
Pittsburg men who constitute the South

some places is 100 feet deep. 1t is the
largest reservoir in the United States.

at the base, 10 feet high, and 90 feet
thick at the top. 1t was inspected
monthly by a Pennsylvania railroad en-
gineer.

Pathetic Scenes.
There are many prominent Pittsburg
people at Johnstown and number of
residents of that place are here. The
scene at the Union depot last night upon

who said he and his father, mother,
brother and two sisters were swept away
with their house. He was washed off
from the building, but the others were
IN it when it was carried over the new
stone railroad bridge at Johnstown. The
house went TO pieces then, and he thinks
all were drowned.
Fleeing from the Doomed city.
The alarm of danger seems to have
reached J0hnstown about D. m. yester-
day. The railroad officials at once be-
gan carrying people out Of town, some
on,regulaT trains, others on hastily inn
provised specials. Superintendent Pit
cairn happened to be in the vicinity and
took charge of the work. The water
finally came down like a tidal wave
sweeping everything before it.

The town of South Fork, which con-
tanned about 1000 inhabitants, lay in
the course Of the flood which swept down
from the broken dam to Johnstown, and
it is believed that four-fifths of the town
was carried away.
Four miles lower down was the village
Of Mineral Point, with 800 inhabitants.
It seems difficult to hope that any of
them escaped.
Six miles further down was Cone
maugh, with $500 people, but in this
case the formation of the country af-
forded some chance for escape. The
town itself was devastated.
Woodvale, with 1900 people, lay still
