dition. He did not underrate Sullivan's
strength or skill, but all he asked was
fair field and no favors. and he would be
satisfied with the result. Kilrain took
bath shortly after his arrival, aud an Asso-
ciated Press reporter saw him. He looks
very fine. He tapers toward the waist,
which gives his chest o marrow appearance,
and from the waist up he does not appear
to be as good man as Sullivan. From
the waist down he Is Sullivan's superior;
his thighs, hips and legs are splendidly
developed and indicate great staying
powers. He weighs 200 pounds and will
take no more work before the fight. As
the time approaches for the great mill, the
report concludes, it becomes more appar-
ent that the fight will be one of the most
determined on record. There are many rea-
sons for the assertion. The principal one,
however, Is the bitterness which il felt,
not alone as between sullivan and Kilrain,
but on the part Of the men who are train
ing the two athletes.

Tho Coroner's Jury In the Johnstown Hor-
rOr So Find.
After considering all the evidence in
connection with the Johnstown horror,
the coroner's jury has finally rendered tho
following verdict:
We. the undersigned jury Of inquest.
empanelled TO designate the cause Of
death Of Ellen Hite. on the 3lst of May,
after hearing the testimony, do, find
that Ellen Hite came to her
death from drowning, and the
drowning was caused by the breaking of
South Fork dam. We further find from
the testimony aud what we saw on the
ground that there was no sufficient waste
way nor was the dam constructed sufi-
ciently strong nor Of proper material to
withstand overflow, an here We find the
owners Of said dam were culpable in not
making it secure as should have been done,
especially in view of the fact that popu-
lation of many thousand we're in the val
Icy below. We hold that the owners are
responsible for the fearful loss Of life and
property resulting from the breaking Of
the dam.

most interesting ever rendered by All at

IT CERTAINLY POURS.
Johnstown Gets = Flood Of Sorrow In
Further Floods.

The recent heavy rains in Conamaugh
valley flooded out five families in Cam
bria City. The water came pouring down
the mountain side and filled the first floors
of the houses, destroying all the fur
niture that had been saved from the big
food. There was great alarm among the
people over the condition of the Cone
mnugh river. The water rose three feet
in two hours. and carried away the foot
bridge above the Pennsylvania railroad
station. There was danger of the tenn
porary railroad bridge being washed away,
and cars were run on it to save it. The
temporary bridge erected at the lower end
Of the Gautier offices is almost total
wreck. Orders were given by Gen. Has
tings to get everything in shape for quick
removal, as it was feared the tents would
be washed away. The portable bridges
over Stoney creek we're saved only after
very hard work. 1t was thought all dan
ger had passed, when fresh storm broke
over the valley. The rain came down in
torrents and much damage was done.

Bismarck Tribune

Bismarck car not shout too loud over
the crop that is being raised in the country
that surrounds her. There is not another
section of the continent that has so fine
prospect. Bismarck should not hide her
light. She is in the valley that raised the
best crop in the country last year, and the
harvest Of 80 will place the same valley in
the lead of all others for agricultural pur-
poses. An immigration pamphlet issued
by the chamber Of commerce would do
vast amount Of good.
