q CHASTITY Horror.

The disasters from the flood in the
Conemaugh Valley, PENNSYLVANIA. on
Friday, the 3lst nit, ale without par
allel in the history of the United States
III the slckenlng details Of the terrible
loss OF life and destruction ot' property.
In this valley were situated several
populous towns and villages, the larg-
est of which-Johnstown-was entirely
annihilated, and the others sharing
almost Il similar fate. The catastrophe
was caused by the breaking of dam
OF an immense reservoir OF water on
the mof6stan above the town, 81 by
II miles in size and reaching depth
OF 100 feet. during the prevalence of a
storm on that illtated day, when a
solid wall of water from 30 to 40 feet
in height rushed with besom of des-
truction upon the doomed and helpless
beings in the valley below This i'm
mense deiuge Of water was cmptied
within IN hours time, sweeping from
10000 to 10000 souls into eternity
without warning, and destroying pro-
perty to the amount of $50 900 900 or
1000 600
To add to tho horrors of tho heart
rending scene many Of the floating
buildings, containing hundreds of the
unfortunate inhabitants, caught against
a railroad bridge and took fire land
made II holocaust of several hun.1red
persons. Whole families, perished by
flood or fire, and when there were sur
Eivors the awful spectacle OF the count
less dead of family or friends made
them frantic and almost crazed by sor-
row.
Days have elapsed, and, yet among
the debris Of this wreck of matter, res
ching parties are still finding the de-
composing bodies of the almost count
less~ictims Pneumonia has already
broken ont among the stricken snrviv-
ors, and pestilence is threatened by
the stencil of the unrecoyered dead.
Amid this awful scene of death and
desola ton men in human shape, but
demons at heart, were found plunder-
ing and robbing the dead but short
shrift was made of the ghouls by hang
ing OF shooting them and the foul desc
Grafton was stopped.
If this unprecedented calamity was
heartrending, yet phianthropic peO-
pie are doing all that is within human
power to mitigate the sufferings of
their unfortunate fellowmen. Tho
purse and heart of the world have
responded to the call of humanity, and
GontriL,ltions in money, food and
clothing are pouring in from all sec
tious Of the counhy-nay, even from
Europe. Lestitut .5n will be prevented,
but no hnman power can erase the
CHASTITY picture of the valley of ruin
and death.

delay no longer the important move
ment of inaugurating higher educa-
tional institution for boys and young
men in our midst. By so doing they
wonld supply long felt want in edu-
cational interests, to the vital attrac-

a new impetus to solid immigration
that only seeks a locality where educa-
ton is prime factor among the people.

a. Louisiana Railroad.

The Times Democrat noted at length
some time ago, the Houston and Ar
kansas Railroad, now being built at
Monroe in both directions The road
runs north from Monroe, through Cen
trail Arkansas and is to be extended
southwark to the Gulf. The original
idea was to build along the Ouachita,
turning to the southwest, passing
through Alexandria, crossing tpe Sa-
bine, and having its southern terminus
at Houston, Tex.
The people of the Teche country
want the road turned in their direction
and suggest that as it is desirous of
reaching the Gulf, it can do so much
more conveniently, at far less expense
and with shorte, mileage, by building
due south instead of southwest, and
selecting Morgan City instead of Hous-
ton as a terminus. The line they pro-
pose is through Marksyille, Arnaud-
vile, Breaux Bridge, st. Martinsville,
New Iberia and Morgan City. The
people of the Teche demand this line
enthusiastically, and are holding meet
ings to see what can be done to secure
it.-Times- Democrat.
