railroad, is a signal tower, and the men in

my attention. Here are some little odds
and ends of happenings they told me Of;
A beautiful girl came down on the
roof of a building which was swung
in near the tower. She screamed 10 the
operators 70 save her, and one brave fellow
walked as far out into the river as he could
and shouted to her to guide herself into the
shore with the aid OF q plank. She was .
plucky girl, and stood upon her frau sup
port in evident obedience to the command
OF the operator. She made two or three
bold strokes, and actually stopped the
course of the raft for an instant; then ft
swerved and went out from under her. She
tried TO swim ashore, but in a few seconds
she was lost in the water. Something hit
her, for she lay quietly on her back with
her face pAllid and exDressionless.
Men and women in dozens and in pairs
and singly, children, boys, big and little,
and wee babies were there in the awful
procession, drowning, gasping, struggling
and lighting desperately for life. Two men
on q tiny raft shot into the swiftest part of
the current; they crouched stOlldly, looking
at the shores, while between them,
dressed in white and kneeling,
with her face turned heavenward.
was girl 8 or : years old.
When she came opposite the tower she
turned her face 10 the operator. She was
so close they could see the big tears on her
cheeks and her pallOr as Of death. The
helpless men on the shore shouted 10 her
To keep up her courage and she resumed
her devOut attitude and disappeared under
the trees Of projecting point 3 short dis
tance below. We could not see her again,
said the operator, and that was all Of it.
DO you see that fringe of trees ?'' said
the operator, pointing TO the place where
the little girl had gone out of sight swell,
we saw scores Of children swept in there.

will find almost a hundred bodies of chill

town of Ninevah. Ii was here that found
the first chaTnel bOuse-1O9 dead were
found there, the larger proportion of whom
were women. Here it was that the awful
work of the fresket could be realized.
What had been fertile farms looked like
worn out brick yards Great trees had
been twisted and torn like weeds and the
broken household goods of hundreds of
homes lined the shores for miles. Thieves,
those who steal from the dead and unfOr-
tunate, had been busily at work rObbing
trunks, boxes aud articles of furniture, and
there is nothing worth taking left except
lumber. Every now and then CHASTITY out
lines could be seen in the water being
swept down stream.

DUBOIS, June 1.-The heaviest floods in
the history of Dubois occurred Thursday
night and yesterday. The rain began fall
ing at l. p. m. and came down In torrents
without intermission until yesterday noon.
The low-Iying parts of the city were en-
tirely submerged Small outbuildings
were lifted from their foundations and in
many instances f0ated away. The great
est excitement prevailed in the vicinity of
PentZ Run, which separates the first and
second wards of the city. At one time the
buildings which face the stream were in
danger of having their foundations under

Passengers Drowned.


PITTsBURG, June LA Greensburg
special says: The first section of the day
express which passed here at Q o'clock was
lying between JohnstOwn and Sang HOl-
low yesterday afternoon when the waters
came down. The flood cut one OF the cars,
containing about fifty or sixty passengers,
loose and it was carried away, and it is
supposed the passengers perished. A few
of the occupants of the other cars, it is
thought, escaped, but it is doubtful. s. N.
Bell, of Lstrobe, was the conductor, and
escaped by the assistance rem dered him.
A special train was chartered bv the
newspapers to carry provisions, medicines
and clothing to the nearest possible point
to Johnstown. A railroad conductor who
arrived early this morning said: "There
is no telling how many lives are lost. We
got as far as Bolivar and tell you it is q
terrible sight. The body of boy was
picked up by some of US, and there were
seven bodies recovered altogether. do
not think anyone got into JOhnstown, and
il is my opinion they will not get in very
soon. No one who is not on the ground
has any idea of the damage done. Ii will
be at least q week before the extent of this
flood is known, and l think many bodies
will never be recovered"
A dispatch from Nineysh says: There
appears to be large number OF people
lodged in trees and rubbish along the line.
Many are alive. Rescuing parties should
be adYIsed at every station. Another tele-
gram from Ninevah said that up TO noon
I75 bodies had been taken from the river AZ
that point.
In this city to-day there was but one
topic of conversation and that was the

watchers all day long beseiged the news.

vigil was unrewarded. To show the state

hcient 10 state that il is not yet known
whether the telegraph operator at Johns

all wreckage was carefully scanned for the
dead The result of this vigilance was the
recovery Of one body, that Of a woman.
Seven other bodies were seen, but could
DOT be reached owing to the swift moving
wreckage BY which they were surrounded.
Measures for relief were promptly taken.

WASHINGTON, June --latest reports
from Harpers Ferry say the Potamac and
Shenandoah rivers are rising one foot per
hour. Cattle, boats and other drift are
running thick The river is very high here
and is rising. The water has reached
Eighth street. and has put out the fires in
the engine house at the Washington monu-
ment and stopped the elevator. Cellars on
the south side of Pennsylvania avenue are
flooded. Last night the rain was almost
equivalent to a cloud burst.
The lock gate at the end of the Chesa-
peake Il Ohio canal was carried away by
the rising water and washed several canal
boats into Rock creek, where they were
destroyed Since then the river has been
rising rapidly, and the flood waters from
Harpers Ferry and the upper tributaries
are swelling it every mOWent
Along the street north in the neighbOr-
hood of Center market the country produce
dealers were driven off early IN the day
and the streets was turned into a lake,
floating chicken cOops, market truck and
all sorts of odds and ends. Cellars were
flooded and much damage TO property re-
suited among the commission houses. Up
in Georgetown the scene along the river
front was exciting Docks we're under
water and lumber, coal, cement, provisions
and all kinds of property has been carried
away. At Long Bridge the water AT sun
set was almost level with the bridge Sew
here and the railroad men are making
every effort TO prevent the accumulation of
drift against the bridge. -The water is
still creeping up, however, and the
bridge is in precarious condition.

which is by no means improbable, the result
will be serious and cause interruption of
railroad traffic between the north and
south. The cofferdam at LoDgbr1dge has
been greatly injured, and much of the
work which has been done upon the Poto-
mac flats at the expense of millions of dol
lars will be ruined. 1t is not vet possible
to estimate the losses suffered by merchants
and warehousemen. but one individual has
lost $50, 900 worth of coal on one dock.
The water at midnight has reached with
in a few feet of Pennsylvania avenue The
Baltimore & Potomac station is surrounded
by water and is inaccessible to passengers.
At half-past twelve tonight the water
had reached Pennsylvania avenue at Sixth
street and washed away the street car track
on the south side, and was nearly to the
door steps. A strong current Is sweeping
through B street and around the corner of
Thirtieth and Pennsylvania avenue. Cen
ter market is surrounded, and the floors
are flooded. The water is within foot of
the waiting room and car shed of the
Pennsylvania railway.
