Lewis, of the firm of Lewis & Hayford
of South Bend, Ind, with a view to es-
tablish cigar factory here, to employ

Cotton Bagging on q Boom.

The Southern planters seem to be
determined to use cotton bagging as
far as possible this year, in spite OF
the promises of the jute men that
present low prices will be guaranteed.
The Boston Journ3 of Commerce
does not believe that any combination
csaSind daesszplanters to buy cotton
bagging unless it is TO their advantage
to do SO, and predicts that if the low
price es the raw material should make
iute bagging the more available arti-
Gle next fall the cotton material must
go begging,
However this may be, the Alliances
Of Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, and,
we believe, Texas, have ordered their
two million yards Of cotton bagging.
The Georgia sub-allisnees have fol-
lowed the advice of Mr.. Northern in
either making negotiable paper to
secure the factory men, Or in ordering
through merchants of good CONNER
cial standing. The Georgia farmers
are preparing to meet the questions
in very practical way, and if the al
lance men Of the other States pro-
ceed in ike business way we do not
see why the mills should not feel Sc
cure in changing their machinery and
going ahead to weave the bagging.
The concession granted the bagging
men in the manufacturers meeting in
Augusta seems to have inspired the
whole movement with new life
The farmers of the South have at
least shown their ability to combine
for their own good, and whether the
present movement secures a good
substitute for jute or breaks up the
trust in jnte itself, its lessons will be
powerful for future good.-Augusta
Chronicle.

The readers of the TINES will be pleased
to learn that there is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure in
all its stages, and that is catarrh. Halls
catarrh cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being o constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment Halls catarrh
cure is taken internally, acting directly up
on the blood and mucus surfaces Of the
system, thereby destroying the foundation
of the disease, and giving the patient
strength, by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing its work. The
proprietors have so much faith in its cura-
tive powers, that they offer one hundred
dollars for any case that it fails to cure.

Washington Under Water.

WASHINGTON, June 2.-The bright warm
sun shone forth pleasantly in q clear sky
here to-day and the northwestern and more
fashionable part of the city never looked
more lovely. But along good part of the
principal business thoroughfare, Pennsyl-
vania avenue, and in adjacent streets to the
southwark, there was dreary waste of tur.
bid, muddy water that washed five or six
feet deep the sides of houses, filling cellars
and Easements and causing great inconven-
icDce and considerable loss of property.

The Scene Of the Flood.

PTTTSBURG, Pa, June 1.-The raging
storms that have prevailed through Penn
sylvania in the past few days have resulted
in an appaEingiioss- Of Efe
The sSene Of terrible disaster is a
sEnstown, Pa, in Cambria county, on thu
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and the Cone
naugh River. Two and half miles north
east Of the town is reservoir owned by {
rich fishing club. It is the largest reser
voir in the United States, being three and s
half miles long and from one to one and {
half miles wide.
It's depth in some places is 100 feet. i
holds more water than any other reservoir
natural or artificial, in the United States
The lake has been quadrupled in size by
artificial means and was held in check BY
dam from 700 to 1000 feet wide. It is
80 feet in thickness at the base and the
height is ITO feet. The top has a breadth
of over 20 feet. Recognizing the menace
which the lake had to the region below,
the South Fork club had the dam inspected
once month by Pennsylvania railroad en-.
gineers and their investigation shows thai
nothing less than some convulsion Of nature
would tear the barrier away and loosen the
weapon of death.
The steady rains Of the past twenty-four
hours increased the volume of water in al
the mountain streams, which were already
swelled by the lesser rains eacly -i1 the
week. From the best information obtain
able 9. Il dis ll11e II -is-eTldent that some
thing in the nature of cloud burst must
have been the elimination of the struggle
of water against the embankment.
The difficulty of obtaining definite in
formation added tremendously to the ex-
element and apprehension. The course OF
the torrent from the broken dam at the foot
of the lake to Johnstown is almost eighteen
miles, and with the exception Of one locali-
tv, the water passed through narrow '
shaped valley. Four miles below the dam
lay the town of South Fork, where the
South Fork itself empties in the Conemaugh
river. The town contained about 1000 in
habitantS. 1t has not been heard from, but
it is said that four-ffths Of it has been
swept away. Four miles further down the
Conemaugh river was the town of Mineral
Point. It had 800 inhabitants, 80 per cent.
of the houses being on a fat close to the
river. It seems impossible at this time to
hope that any of them have escaped. Six
miles further down was the town Of Cone
maugh, and here alone was there o topo-
graphical possibility of the spreading Of the
flood and the breaking of its force.

We give considerable space this
week to the terrible catastrophe in
Pennsylvania. It is one of the most
terrible, most appalling disasters ever
known in the worlds history. The
loss Of Lie is not known, but it is
probably not less than ten thousand,
and they smitten down without a
minutes warning. The scenes at
tending the disaster are heartrending
in the extreme. The daily papers
teem with particulars Many milliers
<of ofdssllass- properly have
been destroyed. We have culled out
what appeared to be most important,
and our readers will get a fair idea
from our report.
But touch of sorrow makes the
whole world akin. Relief parties by
the hundreds have gone to the scene
Of disaster, to render what assistance
they can; and money and supplies are
sssqring in from every quarter. Cit
les and towns and individuals are
sending in their hundreds and thous-
ands and ten thousands Of dollars.
All that is possible will be done to
give relief and comfort to the help
less and suffering.

Chicago and the whole country has
been interested for some time in the
murder of one DR. Cronio, promi-
nent [rishman of that city. The facts
of the case so far as known are that
the doctor was murdered because he
charged those who had the care of
funds for the Irish cause with misap-
propriating them. To elude the con-
sequences of their acts it was deter
mined that he should be killed.

THE LAKE THAT CAUSED THE FLOOD.


y THE LAKE THAT CAUSED THE FLOOD.
Several Pittsburgers, relatives of mem.
bers of thesSouth Fork Fishing Club, which
owned the reservoir that caused the ~disas.
ter made their way with extreme difficulty
to the reservoir and have just returned here.
One Of these. Harry Singer, tells the follow.
ing story:
+ Tie lake is completely dried cut. The
dam broke IN the centre at 3 o'clock on Fri.
day afternoon and at O'CLOCK it was dry
That great body of water passed out in one
hour. Messrs. Park & Van Buren, who were
building new draining system atthe lake,
tried to avert the disaster by digging a
sluice way on one side to ease the pressure
On the dam. They had about forty men at
work and did all they could without avail.
The water passed over the dam about one
foot above its top, beginning at about half
past 2.
Whatever happened in the way ofa cloud
burst took place during Thursday night
| There had been but little rain up to dark.
When the workmen woke on Friday morn
ing the lake was very full and rising at the
rate of foot an hour Itkept on rising un-
til o'clock, when it first began breaking
over the dam and undermining it. Men
were sent three og four times during the
daE-tsss warn the people below of their dan
ger. When the final break came at o'clock
there was sound like tremendous and con-
! tinued peals of thunder Trees, rocks and
earth were shot up into mid-air
in great columns, and then the
wave started down the ravine. A farmer
who escaped said that the water did not
come down like a wave, but jumped on his
house and beat it to fragments in an in
slant. He was safe on the hillside, but his
wife and two children were killed.
At the present time the lake looks like
cross between the crater of volcano and
huge mud puddle, with stumps of trees ard
rock scattered over it. There is a small
stream of muddy water running through the
centre of the lake site. The break in the
dam is about two hundred feet wide and
there is but snail portion of the dam left
on either side. No damage was done to any
Of the buildings belonging to the fishing
club. There are but one OF two small streams
showing here and there in the lake.

HOW IT WILL CE DONE.

HOW IT WILL DE DONE.
Five prominent gentlemen from different
sections of the county will be requested tc
give away the prizes, in the following man
ner:
These gentlemen will place in one box &
number of tickets equal to the number ot
paid up subscribers, all Of which tickets
will be blank except the eight prize tickets
They will then place in another similar box
an equal number Of tickets, containing the
names Of the paid up subscribers, one name
on each ticket. After the tickets have been
carefully inspected and placed in the boxes,
they will be thoroughly shaken up and mix
ed together, until the committee is satisfied
that everything is fair and just. Then the
drawing will begin. Two little boys about
four or five years old will be blindfolded,
and one will draw from the box containing
the names of the paid up subscribers and
the other from the box containing the tick
cts. The committee will at every drawing
Zone from each box) inspect the tickets that
have been drawn and announce the result.
For instance, suppose the little boys have
each drawn ticket from their respective
boxes. The name drawn by one-ljttle boy
is Always Loseum, and the ticket drawn by
the other is q blank. That means Mr.. A.
Loseum has failed to secure prize. The
little boys draw again. The name is Lucky
Fellow, and the prize ticket has sewing ma
chine on it. That means NJ. L. Fellow
has secured the sewing machine for his
prize. The drawing will thus continue till
all the prizes have been given away.
This plan seems to US as fair as possible,
and to have the least objections. Our SUBJ
scribers may rest satisfied that everything
will be done in fairness.
THE HONOR LIST.
We shall publish between now and the
4th of July the names of all the paid up
subscribers who will be entitled to ticket
in the drawing. We are working our sub
scription list to cash basis. On the fifth
day of July we shall strike off our subscrip-
ton list the names of all subscribers who
are as much as one year in arrears.
PERSONAL.
We trust our friends will appreciate this
enterprise on our part, and promptly pay
up all their back dues and years subscrip-
ton in advance. We shall greatly appreci-
ate all such. We have just bought large
cylinder press, and it must be paid for. If
our subscribers will pay up, we can pay for
It; if they do not, we shall have to borrow
several hundred dollars. Our intention is
to give the people of Clarendon good read
able county paper, with the news from ev-
cry section. But with good, lively, cash
patronage we can and will work with better
heart, and can get out better paper. If you
have never taken the paper, send US so cents,
md we will send the paper for four months
IN trial We want three hundred new sub
'cribers by the 18th Of July: will we get
hem?
