LOSSES.

they are Said to lave Been Underestima-
T. ted Instead of the Reverse.
From the New York STAR Estimates
Of the loss of life by the Pennsylvania food
are very unequal and uncertain. A. short
time ago it was given out from Johnstown
that $4,000 had registered themselves,
which would show that the mortality in
that place wal not over 5000. It turns
ont that the total registration is only 49,.
900, and that there are many cases in
which the same individuals and families
have been reported on different lists. ."- 2
1t is altogether probable that, taking in
the whole area OF the afflicted district, the
loss OF residents was aot less than s 1000.
To these are to be added the number of
travellers who persisted on the trains in the
valley, and many transients who were there
at hotels. boarding houses or Knowing about
the country in pursuit OF business OF pleas
ure. Taking the entire probabilities sur
rounding the great calamity into account,
it in safe to say that not lsss than 20, 900
lives were sacrificed to the foods. The
"Star" was the only metropolitan paper
that arrived at any correct appreciation OF
the extent Of the disaster; while the first
news of it was yet coming in.E a &i.B
It is to be borne in--mind that it is to
the interest of all the great corporations
who have to suffer for the consequences OF
the food to try to diminish the import
ance. The less the damage inflicted, the
less will they have to pay and the less 'wilr
be the depreciation in the value of their
stocks and property. a ~ ..-

C~heyennes Signing. b ! d.
CHEYENNE RIVER AGENCY, July1s.-After
considerable discussion in the g uncil to-
day, Gen. Crook brought out the lists and
invited the Indians to sign. Two painted
Indians sprang to the front, n brandish-
ing a large club, and threatened ito brain
anyone who signed. Gen. Crook stood near
with his hand on a heavy chairprepared to
knock the Indian down at the frat hostile
demonstration. srse3 y
When the latter was arrested by the
police and hurried out OF the pavilion, Gen.
Crook told the Indians If they wanted
to sign they should be permitted
to do SO regardless OF the treaty
OF any one. Matters were in bad shape
if a lot of breech.clouted blanket Indians,
who had just come ON the reservation and
cared for nothing SO long as they got
enough to eat, were allowed to prevent
those Indians who were trying, to provide
for the future Of their children from signing.
II the police could not protect them he
would bring men there who could. He
wanted it distinctly understood that
those who wanted to sign would be pro.
tected. 40 as :.
Signatures were taken rapidly for an
hour and then continued slowly. There
were 100 signatures up to 8 p. m.

death, yesterday. Not feeling we'll he de-
cided to take q dose OF paregoric. He took
a teaspoonful of what he supposed was tho

by the excruciating pain which he christianity

he had taken the dose he was not made
any happier by noticing that the label
bore the legend 'Carbolic acid" For.

MYSTERIOUS EXPLOSION.
Alleged Attempt to Blow Up a Pridge-Express
Messenger Killed and Car Destroyed.

MONTREAL. Aug. 3.-When the train for
Quebec on the Grand Trunk railroad
had passed st. Lambert's, after going
through the Victoria bridge, last night, all
explosion occurred in the express car By
which messenger named Rogers was
killed, the car was completely wrecked and
the express matter destroyed. Rumors are
afloat that it was an attempt to blow up
the Victoria bridge, and was delayed too
long. The train was Oh its way to Quebec,
Portland and Halifax, and consisted OF
seven passenger coaches, Pullman car.
sleeping car, and smoking. baggage and ex-
press cars, the last named being next to the
tender. The train was filled with passengers,
among whom were General Middleton ana
General Superintendent Stephenson, of the
Grand Trunk railroad. When the report of
the explosion was heard panic was about
to ensue, but this was averted by brake
man named Jones. who rushed through the
train TO the burning car and dextrously
uncoupled IL and the tender and engine
and let them dash up the road, where the
engine-driver. who bravely stood at his
post amid the most intense heat, ran them
upon a siding at the end of the track. No
cause can be assigned for the accident,
though every thing in the car was of a very
inflammable nature, among the goods being
quantity of fireworks for the Halifax
carnival The fact however. that the fire.
works did not explode until long after the
fire was under way. shows that the ex-
plosion did not originate in them. The ex-
press and railway people attach no i'm
portance to the assertion that an attempt
was made to blow up Victoria bridge.

New York, Brooklyn and Other Places Suffer
from Continued Heavy Rains.
NEW YORK, Aug. .-Notwithstanding
the fact that it has been raining almost
steadily since week ago yesterday, there
is still no sign of clearing weather. Abous
o'clock this morning rain fell in torrents
for about fifty minutes and flooded streets
and cellars in this city and Brooklyn. Tho
storm was accompanied by heavy thunder
and lightning, and in less than an hour
nearly two inches of water fell. Trains on
all railroads were greatly delayed. and had
it not been for the fact that everything
movable had already been washed away,
great damage would have heen done in tho
country districts.
A dispatch from Taunton. Mass, says that
the same storm visited that section of the
country. and that sewers Were washed out.
cellars flooded, streets quilted and factories
compelled to suspend operations. A wash
out is expected on the old Colony railroad
between Taunton and Fall River. AT ;
o'clock the most severe storm of the season
was raging at Nyack. The streets were
flooded and travel and business suspended.
During the storm at Center Cambridge,
n. Y, yesterday afternoon ligh thing struck
the farm house of 5. w. Wright, occupied
by Edna Brawnell and his family. The
only daughter of Mr.. Brawnell, about ten
years old, was instantly killed. Eight or
nine persons in the house were Frustrated
by the bolt. The house was badly shat
tered, but did not take fire.

MONEY BLOWN AWAY.
How Church Treasurer Accounts for His loss
of a Hundred. Dollar Collection.

RICHMOND, Va, Aug. Stake Thompson,
cOlOred Baptist of some prominence, Of
Bedford county, this State, was recently
made treasure holder" for congregation
of Baptlsts, who took a collection for build
ing new house of worship The amount
realized was about $780, and Thompson car
ried it home with him. On the way he
claims to have got soaking wet from the
rain, and that the 500 in greenbacks was
likewise soaked. When called upon to re-
turn the money he reported as above. and
further alleged that when he got home he
spread the money on a plank in the sun
shine to dry, and went about other affairs,
and that on his return he found that a
storm of wind had blown the last dollar
of the money away. Nothing has been
seen of the treasure since. although diligent
search has been made in the regions round
ThOmpsOn's home.
Some of the brethren think that Thomp-
sons story is very thin, but they do not
know what course i'm law to pursue to re-
gain the money. Thompson has just bought
a little farm and built house on it.
