Flood Sufferers Suicide.

Saturday afternoon q man named
John Snyder purchased revolver
in a hardware store at JohnstOwn,
Pa, and, after loading It,. started
TO walk Out. In a moment the
clerks in the store we're surprised
at hearing three shots fired IN rapid
succession and seeing SNYDER fall
to the floor. II was plainly case
of self destruction, nor was 1t diff
cult TO find the cause. In the great
flood the little home of Snyder,
which was on Maple avenue, Wood
vale, was swept away aud his wife
and four children were lost. He
himself had an awful experience
and was saved, alter floating TO
the stone bridge, by climbing over
the debris TO the hillside. After
the flood he was incOnsolable for a
time, but finally obtained employ
ment az Il Waterman at Moxham
and for three weeks attended TO
his duties and was apparently be.
coming reconciled. Then he took
a notion to 90 away. and he went
to Ohio, returning a week ago last
Friday. That his mind was some
what unbalanced by his grief was
known to his friends, and that he
contemplated the awful deed which
he afterward committed is known
by the remark which be is said to
have made to his mother Saturday
morning when leaving home, which
was "Good.bye; you may not see
me again" Snyder was about
tbir;y.fve years of age.

The report further represents that
the fast train was running on the

low rate OF speed, this precautiOn
being adopted in consequence of in.

there was indication of an unusually
heavy rain below. The rain was

heavy rain extended bot very

A test suit against the South

sulting from the breaking Of the
dam at JOhnstOwn has been began
at Pittsburg. 1t is claimed on the
on hand that the dam was Of faulty
construction, and that the club had
been repeatedly notified OF the fact
on the other, il is asserted that the
dam had been examined by com
petent engineers and pronounced
safe. The jury may, however, take
the view that the dam should not
have been constructed at all IN
view of the interests life and prop.
erty which might be considered az
being always more or less IN dan

water was retained at the head of

to reimburse all the survivors fol-
their losses and still have some
thing left for themselves.

found their camp. which had been
burned, and the charred remains
OF his relatives, a family of three or

While Henry Bokamp and his wife
we're riding near that town last
Monday evening they were taken
from their buggy by an armed

the woman shametully and strung
Bokamp TO tree three times, the
last hanging proving so near fatal
that he could only be revived by
the administration of medicine.
The reason OF the outrage Is said to
have been a mere suspicion that
BOkaDp had committed petit lar
