mainly from the inability Of a major

A Strange Visitor.

Yesterday morning as Judge
schwartz was intent iD wading
through divers dust besprinkled tones
Of legal lore at bis desk in the probate
court room, there entered the door
strange tall lady in spotted dress,
who might have been IS years old.
She bad i'm her hands a bouquet of
flowers and small box. On opening
the box he found il TO contain a hand
some gili-edged, morocco covered
Bible. There was no inscription on
the inside nor nothing to indicate
who the donor was nor for Whist pur-
pose IL was given. The Judge is still
very much impressed and is wonder
ing who the woman Is. de says the
Bible is a very acceptable gift of
which the court stands much in need.
He has hso the strange sentence
uttered by the giyer written 10 II, and
will have the coat Of arms Of the pro-
bate court stamped on the back. She
approached the Judge and without
making herself known presented him
with the boquet and the box, saying
as she turned to go, II am sorry !
have wandered from my faith" then
uttering not another word she opened
the door and passed out. The Judge
was confounded by the snddenness Of
this maneu ire and had not time to
say a word to the visitor before she
was ont of tho rnom

EXHIBITION AFTERMATH.
A Resume Of the Work Done and Those
Whom the Credit l. Due.

A Resume of the Work Done and Those to
whom the Credit Is Due.
In reviewing so elaborate and fin
ished performance as was given by
the pupils Of our public school on the
two evenings Of last week, II is but
natural that some matters worthy Of
notice and meution should bave been
overlooked. While the performers
received briefly the praise due them,
no mention Of those-tbeir teachers
and others-who for the past north
or six weeks have devoted much time
and attention TO the preparation and
drilling Of the performers, which labor
wac the means Of securing such salts
factory and entertsing results. 1t Is
therefore our aim IN this article TO
bring before the public these untiring
helpers whose good work has already
spoken In their praise. The extrava-
gapza of Mother Goose was arrnged
and drilled by Miss Helt. She also
designed and arranged the costumes.
In the preparation of 1t she was as.
sisted by Mrs. Abram Hall and in its
production by Miss Watson, who pre-
sided at the piano aud furnished the
characteristic muslr for the several
scenes.
The burletta Of Bonnybell was re.
hearsed aud drilled by Mrs. Campbell
and Mrs. Gtifiith, Miss Marshall hay-
ing charge OF the costumes, Tbi,

fully equal 10 any other feature Of tn,
two nights entertainment and though
in the hands Of children Of acknow
ledCcd ability, shows also what con
scientious and well directed trainip,
can accomplish.

on the second evening was anothe

Lloyd Breeze, who is Russell's busi-

story on their stage manager, j. II.
Fitzpatrick, who is an old timer and
very conscientious. He would send
the scene plot for the piece TO no one

he recognized il as one Of his stars

PITTsBURG, May 31.-The flood at Johns
town has resultedin an awful catastrophe.
1t is said that the reservoir above the town
broke about O'Clock this evening and an
immense volume of water rushed down to
the city, carrying with it death and des-
truction. Houses with their occupants
were swept away and many people were
drowned There is no communication with
Johnstown, but telegraph operator in the
PennsylvanialrailrOad tower at Sang HallOk
twelve miles this side of JOhnstown, say
that at the least seyenty-tive dead bodies
have floated past. The wires are all down
and no trains are running east of Blan-
smith which is about twenty-five miles
west of Johnstown. There is no way to 20
to the scene of the disaster and full particu-
lars can hardly be obtained tonight, al
though every effort is being made to do so.
There will be no trains through to the east
before tomorrow.
The latest report of reliable information
received from Johnstown comes through
the Pennsylvania railroad officials and
show that over two hundred dead bodies
have been counted floating down steam at
Johnstown, while along the line many addi-
tional lives have been lost. II is asserted
that there are but two houses in JOhnstown
proper above the water line.
A special bearing Pennsylvania railway
officials and Associated Press correspond
ents has left this city for the scene. Tele-
graphic communication is entirely cut of,
and until the telegraph is repaired by the
men and operators with the necessary in
struments to open up the line at the nearest
point, but little reliable information can be
obtained.
