P0hE-
JOHNsTowN, Pa, Aug. 26.-Through
the carelessness of some of the en-
pIoyes, the graves of the flood vic
Tins in Grand View cemetery do not
correspond to the numbers on the
morgue records. This was painfully
illustrated to-day when j. w. Shu-
maker, a prominent merchant of the
town, identified some iewelry as be-
longing to his wife and when the grave
corresponding to the number was
opened the body was found to be that
of man. The bodies were buried in
trenches and Mr.. Shumaker had over
thirty bodies in one trench lifted to-
day, hoping that. he might find his
wife. at the Prospect Hill cemeterey
much more care was taken and every
grave correSponded to the description
on the mOrgue books.
All the Cinnamon i'll town to-day
visited the cemetery and deposited rye,
cooked sweet potatoes, bananas and
tea on the graves of their two fellow
countrymen who were drowned.
There is still much sickness and
many deaths in the valley, the phVsi-
clans in the place all being kept busy.
The free branch dispensary of the Ha-
perman Medical college of Philadelphia
has treated 240 cases the last week.
An enthusiastic meeting was held by
the business men here tonight at
which it was determined to bring suit
against the South Fork Fishing club.
Speeches were made by a number of
business men all strongly urging united
action in the matter. 81 900 was raised
by subscription and it was agreed that
John IL. LentOn and w. Horace Rose
should be appointed to investigate the
CASE.

PROVIDENCE, r. L., Aug. 27.-The
Spring Lake reservoir, near Fiskville.
in the southwest corner of Cranston,
about fifteen miles from this city.
which supplies a number of mill vii
lagos along the Pawtuxent river, burst
this afternoon. Three persons were
drowned and some damage done to
property A man named Yeaw. who
was about quarter of a mile away,
noticed the water coming through the
masonry of the dam, as he described
it, iii a stream about as large as a bar
rel. The hole was apparently growing
very rapidly. The only living abject
in sight was cow few hundred feet
across the fields, which Yeaw sue
ceeded in rescuing, although the wa
ter was up to his neck.
Meanwhile, down the valley were
Mrs. Greene Tew, aged 30; Mrs.
Hawkins. aged 80, and Mrs. Tew's
son, years of age They were walk
ing through strip of wood, and were
Overtaken by the flood and drowned.
Their bodies were found in the wood,
through which the water quickly ran
until it emptied into the Pawtux-

sett Reservoir, the biggest in the state.
had gone Many of them left their
homes and fed, but the food subsidized
as quickly as it came. The path of
water from the reservoir was through
a thinly settled country, and the only
damage to property was the wrecking
of stable belonging to Russell Mat
thewson, the capsiZing of DIR. E.
Clarke's carriage shop and the demol-
itiOn of three road bridges.
The dam was built III 1887, for the
service of the Pawtuxent Valley cem-
pany, redeeming a small swampiDg
pond locally known as Spruce Lake.
The reservoir covered eighteen acres,
and contained about 81, 600 600 gallons
of water. The dam is 925 feet long, II
feet 8 inches high, and s feet wide and
35 feet wide at the bottom. The gap
left by the water is between 80 and 40
feet long. No examination has been
made to learn the cause of the break.
The man Yeaw is the only witness to
any part of the casualty. The reser-
v0ir was practically emptied.

ALIEN LAND OWNERS.

The bill introduced by Senator Mohler
to restrict the ownership of real estate
in Kansas to American citizens, is an
important measure, as it will, if it be-
comes law, practically keep foreign
loan companies out of the state. For
eign capitalists will not likely want to
loan their money on security that they
will be prohibited from owning ii neces-
sity should ever require. The bill is as
follows:
Sec. /. That it shall be unlawful for
any person or persons, not citizens OF
the United States or of some state or
territory Of the United States. to here

be acquired by devise or inheritance, oil
in good faith in the ordinary course OF
justice in the collection of debts hereat-
Ter created: Provided, That the prohl-
bitiOn ia this section shall not apply in
such cases as the right to hold lands in
The United States is secured by existing
treaties to the citizens or subjects of
foreign countries, which rights shall

are IN force: Provided further, That
The provisions of this section shall not
apply to actual settlers upon farms of
not more than one hundred and sixty
ll60) acres, who may settle thereon at
any time before January 1st, one thous

Provided further, That none of the pro
visions Of this act shall be construed tC

The Topeka correspondent of the
Wichita Eagle, staunch Republican
paper, intimates that wholesale jobbery
and bribery Is rampant around the leg
islature and that professional lobbyists
are as numerous as members. He says
that the selling prices of the old men,
bers is we'll known, the information
having lasted over from the session of
two years ago. The correspondent fur
Their says that favorite way this sea-
son to capture members is for some
highly respectable citizen of Topeka to
give a dining and invite the desired
members. Healso intimates that mem
bers of the house and senate are in the
employ of the corporations and others
who have schemes to work through the
legislature. 1t is our guess that the
Eagle article will create a hutter when
it is read III Topeka.

SHAMELESS.

Under this heading, the Washington
correspondent of the Kansas City Times
tells of the disgraceful acts of lobbyists
in Washington, as follows:
WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 25-Since
The sweeping vote in the house last
Monday which makes the final passage
of the Oklahoma bill by that body GER
tainty, the outrageous conduct by the
cattle syndicate lobby, mostly from
Kansas, merits the sevctrest condemna-
ton.
For the last week. both day and night
have been made hideous by drunken
orgies of these men, and for the first
time in many years respectable Kan
sans here, in and out of congress, blush
with shame for the good name of the
state.
The corrupt methods OF this lobby
While sober have been fully developed
Turing this prolonged inebriation.
Boasts have been freely made of ability
10 defeat the Oklahoma bill by money,
and greenbacks have been flourished in
he bar room and corridors of the
Natinnal hotel as the prominent factors
to accomplish this result. The battle
against the Oklahoma bill now has
whisky and greenbacks as its chief in
SpiratlOn.
Only night or two ago the head of the
lobby, in true cowboy fashion, drew his
revolver on Mr.. George Wilson, gen
;Ieman of this city, who dared express
his approval of the bill.
These extraordinary performances.
kept up for several successive nights al
the National hotel, have not only been
a great annoyance to the guests of the
house, but have now become the scan
dial of the city.
IN the meantime, the friends of the
Oklahoma bill are on the alert. and now
that the methods of the cattle syndicate
lobby are fully understood they feal
more than ever confident that the bill
will become law at this session.

Tom S'cNeal in the Topeka Journal:
l.The bin introduced this morning by
Hanna, of Trego, regulating the sched-
ule prices on sleeping cars will be hailed
with delight by the sleeping=car-porter
oppressed people. For many gears the
sleeping car porter, decked ont in his
gorgeous apparel, has gripped the way
faring man who travels on. by sensi-
tive portion of his anatomy, SO to speak,
and with relentless hand. The weary
traveller may prefer not to have his boots
Dlacked, but he can only save himself
from the porter by swallowing his shoe
leather or wear them through the still
watches of the night, otherwise he rises
in the morning and the porter gently
hints that he is in debt TO him IN the
sum of 25 cents for shine. Mr.. Han
mas bill is not full on the Porter ques-
ton and should be amended. The
man. however. who is forced to take an
upper berth will find in this bill some
consolation. 1t provides that for the
privilege of humping his head on the car
ceiling and twisting himself into the
form of a parabola while he takes of
and puts on his garments, he Will only
have to pay IS cents. Under this
schedule of charges even the hardy pio-
neer who has pursued the variegated
skunk into his lair in order to secure ex-
penses for a pleasure tom, can afford to
mingle for a time his vigorous snore
with the asthmetic snort Of the oyerfed
aristocrat who travels on sleeping cars. "
