FOURTH CLAss-REsIDENcE SERVICE.
IN THE FIRST ROUND.
Test Oath Kentuek Knocked Out by Judge
BerrY-NeRs Notes.

PARIS, Idaho, July 20, 1Ss9.-(Specia
Correspondence of The HERALD. The
district court is in full swing in this
CBear Lake, county, and is grinding out
even handed justice at a great rate. The
case of the Territory VS.. Henry Evans, on
the charge Of resisting an officer, tried on
the 18th inst, created considerable inter
est, and also some sly amusement by rea-
son of a new phase of the Mormon ques-
ton.
The jury was being impanelled, when the
celebrated TEST Oath kenthck," attorney
for the defendant, sprung on the court the
question of the right of d Mormon to sit on
"A jury. The question, Are you a Nor
non?" was asked, and when answered at
hrmatively, the juror was promptly chal-
lenged
FOR BEING DISQUALIFIED
under the late decision of Judge Berry in
the sheriff contest case at Blackfoot.
The challenges were promptly denied and
upon crOss-eXaminatiOn by James II. HaW-
ley, assistant prosecuting attorney, and it
appearing that the challenged parties were
electors of the county, citizens of the
United States, and in every respect quail
fed, excepting their membership in the
Mormon church, Judge Berry promptly
overruled the challenge, stating that the
test oath and its kindred provisions were
directed solely against the ballot box, and
were meant to be so directed when placed
on the statute book Of Idaho. Judge Berry,
in deciding the question, made a lengthy
argument in which he said: "They tine
MOrmons) are of a class aimed at by that
elective statute; they are citizens of the
United States, nevertheless. 1t is clear
that the right TO sit on iuries is extend I'd to
them by law, and it is equally clear that
there never has been any intention on the
part of the legislature to deprive them of
that right. Had that been the intention
it is fair to suppose it would have been so
stated. The court cannot give the statutes
the required construction"
LxIT MIR. "KENTUCK"
on that question It was but another at
tempt on the part of that distinguished 60
gentleman to plant another feather into the
wing which is supposed to, at some future
time, carry him TO the United States Sen
ate there to pose as the champion of the
Gentle cause in Idaho and Utah. Would
that said wing were sufficiently large to
watt him hither to the shores where all the
good little niggers go. An appeal has been
perfected and the case will be taken to the
supreme court for decision of the question
raised, the defendant having been found
guilty as charged" EREBUs.

JoHSsTowS, PA, June 2--The deveIop.
ments here only add tenfold 10 the horrors
already disclosed. 1 have Just returned
from where Woodvalo once stood. Nothing
is left'to mark the spot but the woolen-mill
of Wood, Morrell 81 Co. The entire place Is
covered with an inextricablo mass of wood,
lumber, bricks and stone. Beneath this, all
crushed out of human shape, the bodies of
hundreds OF men, women aud children lie
The scene here is particularly appalling.
Many dwellings were built of brick, and
when the mighty rush OF waters came against
these buildings they did not, like those made
of wood, float away, but collapsed, and those
who escaped being drowned were crushed In
a horrible manner. A walk through the
courses which once marked the streets OF this
prosperous suburb OF poor, iIl-ialed Johns
town, discloses sights which The most vivid
fiction writer could scarce conceive, and
which brought tcars to the eyes Of sturdy
men and caused wailings among the hun
dreds Of poor homeless souls who wanderedb
aimlessly about the spot that once had been
their bright, happy home.
Those who peered through the debris OF
w Wo0dyale saw at every point the distorted
bodies OF the poor victims. Little children
crushed and disfgured lay side by side with
grown men. Where the school house once
stood temporary morgue had been filed
up In this spot scores upon scores of fbodies
were placed. The evening mlsts on the
mountains began 10 move about aud the sun
glistening on the rain-drops OF the leaves
conveyed the fancy that the great forests
wept at the sad sight
"here comes load Of cofIins," said some
one, and nt that moment = wagon loaoed
with burial cases came winding round tho
hillside. Then another wagon hove in sight
also loaded down with this furniture Of
death and dire calamity.
The exact number who died In Woodyale
on Friday last Is not yet known, but that
the entire population was swept out is a
chapter Of this terrible history.

ROBBING THE DEAD.
HangariaDs Narrowly Escape Lynching for
Mutiiating tic Dead in secur-
ing Jewelry.

JoHTsTowH. PA. june "A rumOr
that a Hungarian was hanged this afternoon
for despoiiing the bodies OF the dead was
without foundation. An angry crowd Of
citizens in the heart Of devastated Johns
town caught one OF the fends In the act OF
stealing jewelry from the body Of dead
girl. The rufian was taken charge Of By the
avengers, who stretched rope across a tele-
graph. pole and fastened one end around the
neck Of the man. He begged on and es-
capped just vengeance.
This despoiiation Of the dead was pfac-
ticed by Hungarans At various points and
has caused a thrill Of horror almost equal TO
that Of the calamity. The corpse OF a Young
girl which was lodged IN the drift near
Cambria City was the body attacked By
these 6ends Around the finger Of the dead
girl beautiful ring was clasped which At
trocted tho inhuman cupidity Of two Huns
who cut the dead girls finger on In order 70
obtain ihe ring. The bodies Of other females
were robbed Of bracelets and other articles Of
ieWelry.

When 1t was first reported that along

great atrainfal in the Allegheny m ountains
that the artificial lake on the South Fork
of the Conemaugh river, known as Conc,

body Of water which covered many acres

ed to tho torrent, and the whole food
went down tho steep and narrow va ey
at height OF so or 10 feet, sweeping
everything before it, but few seemed to
grasp tine idea of tho catas tropbe in its
awful destructiveness to lifc and prop,
ertyin the towns lying in the valley.
The first estimates OF the loss of life
did not cxceoi fifteen hundred, but
later estimates based upon more,
perfect knowledge OF the suddenness and
terrific force Of the watery avalanche,
put the number as high as 5000 to 15,-
600.
About 1900 bodies were found at
different points oa Saturday aud Sunday.
Hundreds who were caught in the drift
at the stone bridge were burned, and no
trace Of them will ever be found. Many
families were lost entire. II will be
almost impossible 20 give complete
and accurate list Of those who perished.
Many of the survivors are utterly desti-
tutc, having lost al they had in the
deluge, without ans hope of recovery.
Tho loss Of property is estimated in
millions. 1t viii be many years before
these towns will recover from the effects
of the food, If indeed they should ever
be rebuilt.
