The Storm ON its Travels.

New York, Jan. l0.-The disastrous
storm OF last evening started from over
Lake Erie, worked south over Pennsyl
vania with a cyclone motion and the tail
Of it struck New York. Then it whipped
out to sea, having given Long Island "a
dose of its force. New York did not re-
ceive the full force of the wind storm. In
this state, while the wind did considerable
damage. a heavy rain storm was the prin-
ciple feature.
In New England the water. in many
places fell in the form of snow. The
steamer Geo. Appold, which went ashore
Yesterday morning on Long Island near
Sag Harbor, has broken to pieces. The
crew was saved after great exertion by the
life crew. At Carlisle. Pa, the govern
ment training school for Indians and a
number of other buildings we're ~unroofed.
The loss will exceed 800, 900,

Charles Ford, of Shandaken, is rated
as one of tie finest wrestlers among
the western Catski1ls. He is consid-
cred a nervy fellow. His nerves and
muscles were tried to the utmost on
Saturday, in an encounter which was
as unexpected asst was startling. Ford
was tramping along singing and whist
ling, when he saw coming toward him
an animal resembling a bear. On 1t
came at IN ambling, shutting gait
toward Ford. When bruin caught
sight of the man 1t at once stopped,
and Ford would have had ample time
to have beaten a retreat. He did not
do so, however; neither did bruin.
Both stood cycling each other and
taking in the situation. Ford's only
weapon was a revolver, and this he
resolved to use on the bears tenderest
spot. Taking careful aim he fired, but
just Us he did SO, the bear made q
spring and the bullet merely grazed
the bears tough hide.
When within about five feet Ford
fired again, but without even stopping
the shaggy monster pounced upon its
enemy and encircled Ford's waist with
its powerful paws. He struck at the
bears jaw with his iron fist, and when
the pressure on his waist relaxed, Ford
adroitly tripped up his bearship, but
by some mischance he and the bear
took n ridiculous header together down
the side of a mountain.
Ford says: at was all right when l
was on top, but when / was under
meath, the breath was nearly squeezed
out of me, and as to snorting and blow
ing-well, l mover heard such noisy
ticks IS that bear put in outside Of a
railroad locomotive"
A gully stopped their downward
career, and landed Ford several yards
in advance of the bear. Bruin was
quickly Oh top of its victim again,
however, but with an adroit movement
Ford, who had retained his hold on
the revolver, stuck the barrel against
the bears mouth and fired. The ami
NAL relaxed its hold and fell over dead.

Probably no one thing has caused such
a general revival of trade at DR.. w. N.
Hunts drug store as their giving away to
their customers of so many trial bottles
of DR.. Kings New Discovery tor Con

nous in this very valuable article, from
the fast that it always cures and never

The Work of the Storm at
Other Points.
The PIttshuru Disaster.

PITTsBURd, Jan. l0.-The search for
the victims in the ruins wrought by yes
terday's storm was Prosecuted all night
and will be vigorously continued until the
debris is cleared away. This will probably
take several days aud the exact number of
victims will not be known until the work
is completed. This morning the man
gled remains of John L. Rogerson and
Thomas Jones. b~ricklayers, were found
under one of the walls of the Welding
building. Joseph Gehring, aged l6,
rescued last night, died this morning.
The death list now foots up eleven, the
wounded thirty five and the missing eight.
A number of the wounded are in a critical
condition and many deaths are momen-
tarily expected. There are all kinds of
rumors in regard TO the number still in
the ruins.
One of the men working on the build
ing yesterday says he is certain that there
are at least twelve more. This is believed
to be too high and that there are but eight
still buried in the debris. There is no
hope of any now in the ruins being alive,
SO that it is safe to say the death list will
exceed a score.
The morgue was besieged with callers
all day and many hea~rtrending scenes
were enacted as the visitors discovered iii
the bruised and distorted features of the
dead the well known faces of loved ones.
Officials are satisfied that at least
twenty persons are still in the wreck.
Many eye witnesses state that they are
positive when the first shock occurred
that a number of persons were in the alley
back of Weddings and adjacent stores.
Il lave no doubt" said Coroner Nc
Dowell, that twenty five or thirty more
people lie buried in the ruins. Several
large crowd of men run into the alley
which was the next moment filed wit h
debris"
The List of the Dead.
At l o'clock this afternoon the list of
dead was increased to fourteen. Their
names are:
Thomas Jones, John Hill, colorej,
James McGough, George Mason, Charles
Fitch, John S. Rogerson, Samuel
| Stringer. Joseph Goehring, Thomas
| Mckee, John Donnelly, Richard Car
roll, Leonard Shitfhauer, Samuel Brown,
DR.. James l.. Read and Willie Goetman.
The bodies of the last five have not
been recovered, but it is known positively
that they are in the ruins.
AT four of the hospitals this morning
it was found that all of the wounded are
doing well but William Springer, Ber-
nard O'Connor, cOlored, Michael Ryan,
Thomas Lemon, Ernest Rhinehart and
Alfred Lambert, who are in a critical con
dition. The bodies of Samuel Brown,
Jr., and an unknown man were found
this afternoon.

A List.

READING, Jan. l0.-The following list
of the casualties is corrected up to this
evening. Burned to death in car and
paint shop: Allen Lendenberger, John
Foreman, John II. Kaler. Sheridan Jones,
Geo. A. Schafer. Three others were
seriously injured.
The list of casualties at the silk mills is
as follows:
Dead-Sallie Saylor, Mary Evans, Harry
Crocker, Annie Baudmauer, Mamie Lees.
Ella Ridenhouer. Sallie Bickel, Eva Iced,
Sophia Winkelman, Forelady Katy Leeds,
Mile Christman, Barbara Sellheimer,
WIN. Snyder, George Nieman, Lilly
Shaefer, Daisy Pecker, Emma hester,
Sallie Harner, Annie Fisher, Sallie Harri-
son. Annie Kersler, Mary Fitzpatrick,
Sallie Faust, ID. Q. Becker, Matilda
Grow, Sadie Shade, Emma Blum, John
Reder.
The number of injured is SO far as ac-
counted for one hundred and seventeen.
OF those many are expected to die.
This afternoon a largely attended meet
ing of citizens was held in the court house
to devise means for the relief of the suf-
ferers. Over S35, 900 was subscribed on
the instant. Any amount needed was
promised and the entire city will be can
vassed for funds.
The work of hunting for the dead has
continued all day and the scenes around
the mill were but a repetition of what en-
sued during the whole OF last night. There
were fathers aud mothers waiting and be-
secching the rescuers to give them some
tidiugs of their missing sons and daugh-
tiers.
1t has been determined to push the
work of rescue all of to night. The list
of deaths as sent to the Associated Press
to night is believed to be the first thor
oughly correct one yet published. 1t is
not as large as was at first feared, but
still there are over thirty dead and a num-
Der still missing, and there is but one
belief, and that is that possibly a dozen or
more of the missing are still beneath the
debris.
The coroner has summoned a jury and
tomorrow will begin on the bodies OF
the five men roasted to death in the
Reading shops. They will hold mo in
quest at the silk mill until satisfied that
all are taken out. Very little business
was done here to-dar, the city giving way
entirely to the excitement attending the
terrible disaster. Mr.. Grimshaw, lessee
of the mill stated the number of dead at
thirty. five to torty and many are so
seriously injured that they will die.

New York Tribune: In The New

peared letter signed by Frank Wilke-
son, in which he referred to the compare
tive worthlessness Of the Manitoba road,
decrying the resources and possibilities
of the great Milk River valley, lying
northeast Of Helena. The article excit-
ed intense indignation here. The ottlc-
ials of the Manitoba system could not nf-
fora to allow such a statement to pass by
uncllallcnged, SO Colonel l}roadwatcr ran

representatives Of the three Helena news
papers and others, to investigate the sit
uation. They found that the grass was
greencr than 1t was about Helena in May,
and it was evident that the rainfall had
been far more abundant. The cattle
alongside the track had eaten all they
wanted, and were lazily on tho ground in
every direction, which ia the surest indi.
cation Of rich pasturage. The committee
in its report, says that nobody can see the
Milk River valley in this season of droutl
and depression without being satisfied
that it isu land of plenty in any ortlinar,
year, and that the article by Wilkeson was
written III the interest OF Il stock jobbcrs
