In conclusion, the public should beaf
I'm mind this one significant fact; THE
STAR does not rely upon empty boasts
to impress the public. ITS CIRCULA-
TION Is SWORN TO; its PRESS.
ROOM is OPEN TO THE PUBLIC;
and its BOOKS MAY BE INSPECTED
by any one having an interest In their
examination. These are CRUCIAL
TESTS, which few papers invite, and
which those that boast most are least
able to stand.

The gang Of wire fence swindlers
which has been operating in Nebraska
for some months and doing an extern
sive business, has come to grief, the
leaders being arrested a short time
since at Aurora. Farmers who have
made the acquaintance of these gen
try are greatly rejoiced at the arrest.
It is said the evidence against the
parties is strong and reliable and that
a term in the penitentiary surely
awaits them.-Te cWmseh (Neb.) Jour

which the South Fork flowed, the
limited express would be destroyed
and all on board swept into eternity.
1Er. Hatton suggested that the train
be moved across the bridge. The
conductor at first said that he had
orders to stay where he was, but he
finally consented to take the train
across.
'About fifteen minutes after the
limited had reached the northside,''
says Mr.. Habton, the engine of the
freight tram which had remained on
the south side, gave a fierce shrek
and the train started for the bridge.
Iptuitively everyone knew the dam
hadsbFoken and the water was COM
ing. The two engines on the limited
blew their whistles and started with
the train up the track, followed by a
freight train. The writer was in the
rear of the next to the last car on the
limited.
THE ROAR OFsTHE WATERS
was almost deafaning. In less time
than It has taken to write this para
graph, it had struck the houses near
est the bridge, and they were lifted
high into the air and tumbled over in
the surging stream. The engine of
the escaping freight train which had
given the signal, had hardly reached
the north side when the bridge went
down and the freight cars were borne
off by the rushing waters. As the
passenger train fed up the track, the
back waters up the north branch car
ried with 1t articles of furniture from
the houses which a few seconds be-
fore were standing by the side of the
train.
There was great excitement among
the passengers on the train but it was
soon discovered that the danger was
past and ''thank God we are safe, y
went up from the hearts and lips OF
all on board. The limited train lay
at Wllmore iall night and until late
Saturday afternoon, when 1t proceed
ed slowly east, reaching Altoona about
z o'clock that evening.

FRANKHATrONs EXPERIENCE
His Narrow Escape on a Passenger
Train at YOUNGSTOWN.

WASHINGTON, June 9.-Frank Hat
ton, editor Of the Washington Post,
who was one Of the passengers on the
Chicago limited train at JOhnstown,
contributes to the Post this morning
a graphic description of the manner
Of his escape from death When the
limited pulled into Johnstown it was
flooded. Only q few minutes were
wasted there. Then the train moved
cautiously on. Mineral Point was
passed. From this spot on the speed
of the tram decreased. The furry Of
the torrent, the roar Of the waters,
seemed to intimid8te the two great
iron monsters that were dragging the
train. Faces blanched with fear
pressed against the windows of the
car.
AS great bodies of water rolled
down the gorges and over the track.
covering the cars with spray, terrified
passengers would jump back expect
ing the cars to be overturned. The
speed of the train gradually decreas-
ed, and then, as if the engines had
GIVEN Up IN DESPAIR,
the train stopped. Passengers alight-
ed to ascertain our location. It was
found that we were at the south end
of the bridge which spanned the
COnemaugh at the little town of South
Fork, and at the point where the
south and north forks come together
and near a telegraph tower. But no
orders came to move forward.
The water came down the two forks
with terrible force, telling of the ruin
that was being wrought above. POr-
tions of bridges, OuthOuses, logs,
pieces OF furniture and all kinds of
debris went tearing by and on down
in the rapidly swelling river. Ten,
fifteen, twenty minutes passed, and
there was no movement of the train.
The rain came down from the heavens
above, while the foods of the two
forks rolled and dashed as they join
ed together, making one mighty and
angry river. People from the town
of South Fork crossed the bridge and
mixed with the passengers. Then
the latter did not know the reservoir
two miles above them which was
getting ready to let loose the vast
body Of water which it held within
It's confines.
What if the reservoir should
| break7" said a citizen.
"God help US if It does" respond
ed an old woman, the mother of three
boys who had just come out Of the
mines with their faces
