A WAR SHIP AND ROW OF CITY HOUSES.
There is one matter Of congratulation
for Uncle Sam in respect to his navy.
When he gets it, it will be all new.
Probably in the history of nations no
great power ever sank 50 low compared
with others as the United States in her
water armament during the past ten or
fifteen years. What ships she had were
old fashioned wooden iubs, not too big
for eentlcman's yacht, and with guns
only fitted to fire salutes. There were
not enough Of them To- keep half the otli-
GERS Of tho navy anoat, and the men
were becoming demoraized for want Of
sea service. When there were but few
such ships left they were nearly all gath
cred together at Samoa. and big storm
came along and wrecked them. This
lef, the United States government with
scarcely respectable ship To send 10 re-
place those lost In short, there was no
navy left. 1t had all been wiped out.
Bat the turning point had already
come. Congress had ordered ships, and
some Of them were being finished. These

improvements. There IS not as much
similarity Of appearance between mod

as there is between the Constitution and
Roman trireme Indeed, there is one
feature in common with the trrcme and
the modern iron war ship that the Con

During the naval contests Of the civil
war this anliquatcd feature Of war yea
scls. which the Romans and other nationo
of that time relied on as the principal
implement Of attack, came again into
Use. and. strange 10 say, it was intro

TOWN SUBMERGED.
In the Great Pennsylvania Flood.

Pittsburg, Pa, June 1.-The
raging storms that have pre-
vailed through Penn, in the
past few days have resulted
in an appalling loss of life.
The scene of the terrible dis
aster is at Johnstown Pa. in
Gambrea county, on the Bal
timoreN & Ohio Railroad and
the Canemaugh river. Two
and one half miles north east
OF there is a reservoir owned
by a-rich fishing club. 1t is
the largest reservoir in the U.
5. being thirty-one and one
half miles long, and one and
one half miles wide. Its depth
is, some places, is 100 feet /.
1t holds more water than a.
ny reservoir, natural or arti-
fetal, in the United States.
The lake quadrupled in size
by artificial means was held
in check by a dam from TOO
to 1000 feet long. 1t is 100
feet IN thickness at the base
and the height is 40 feet.
The top has a breadth of ov-
er 20 feet. Recognizing the
menance which the lake had
to the region below the South
Fork Club, had the dam in

already swelled by the lesser

formation added tremendi-

apprehension. The course OF
the torrent OF the broken dam
at the foot of the lake to
Johnston is almost 18 niles,
and with the exception of at
one point the water passed
through the narrow "V"s sha-

the dam lay the town ofSouth

town contained about 1000.

I'VE drove across the noun
tains in the darkness of the
early morning at New Flor
ence, II miles from the scene
OF the desolltion at Jonhs-
ton.
1t has been a hard night to
everybody. The weary, over
worked newspaper men who
have beer without rest and
food since yesterday after
noon and the operators who
have handled the messages
are even now preparing for
the work OF the day. There
has been a long wrangleover
the possession of a special
train for the press between
rival morning news paper
men, and it has delayed the
work of the Others who are
anxious to get further into
the east.
Even here SO far from the
Observation-Disclosures the hero
is in our midst. Seven bodies
have been found on the shore
near this town, two being in
a tree,a man and woman,
where the tide had carried
them.
