Storm at Titusvilie.

TITUsvILLE, July "A terrific tbun-
der storm occurred about 8 o'clock this
evening, and was followed by two cloud
bursts, which caused u furious overflow
of Church's Run, which traverses and
winds through town. From au insig-
ni1cant stream the run turned into a
furious torrent In few minutes eourslng
through the streets, filling cellars and
rising In some places to the first stories
Of houses.
Fully three miles Of streets flooded over
two feet of water. The damage to the
residences in the city is estimated at fully
Sl5, 600. At East Titusville number Of
residences were seriously damaged.
Several narrow escapes from drowning
occurred in this city. Thomas Miller, q
boy OF 10 years, was sucked into burst
ed sewer, while crossing a street, and was
taken out for dead, but after several
minutes work was reeuscitated.
The water poured down the side oil the
hills northwest OF the city where the
cloud bursts occurred in a perfect ava
lanche, sweeping all before 1t. Fertile
gardens are now stony wastes, and q
number of valuable farms are ruined.
Officer Michael Moran, at great personal
peril, saved the lives of a man and wife
who were being washed into the run,
clinging to planks. Later he rescued q
man named Zudic, who had fallen into
the water and was unable to swim.

PETERsDuRG, Va, July "A frightfu,
catastrophe occurred this morning about
twenty minutes past o'clock, about II
mile west of Thaxton on the Western
Division of the Norfolk and Western
Railroad, where washout had occurred
by reason of the late heavy rairs. The
washout was 10 feet long and 40 ieet
deep.
The train that ran into It consisted OF q
mail car, express car, two Pullman
coaches and three sleepers. All went
into the opening with the exception Of
the last sleeper, which remained on the
track. When the train ran into the
washout the coaches were piled one upon
the other, and soon took fire and 10 q
| short time were burned up. Many ol
the bodies were burned beyond recogni-
| tion.
THE KNOWN DEAD.
A full list OF the killed cannot be OBJ
tained, but 1t Ia estimated that at least
thirty persons were killed aud many
wounded; In fact, It is stated that not 8
single person on the traiR escaped with.
out an injury of some kind.
Lifsay, one of those killed, was ma
tive of Gree nville County, and was vide
| ly known in Petersburg, where he was
formerly stationed. He had been In the
service OF the railroad company foI many
years and was undoubted y one Of the
best operators and dispatchers the com
pany had. He was nephew of John
| 0'Barhsm, OF the large Wholesale and
retail dry goods firm of NJ. NJ. Davis &
Co., Of Petersburg. He was unmarried.

was native Of Petersburg, and had been

years. He was q eon OF William James,

Training Boys.
lcoMMUNICATRD. |

Can IL be possible that the period has
arrived In the history of the good city of
Wilmington, when an old greyhesded
man fatigued from the tolls incident to
his daily aVocaton can't sit gu etly down
under the shadow of one of the many
trees that line one side OF the city reser-
voir for few moments to recuperate his
almost exhausted strength, without being
subjected to the insults of lads from 10
to 10 years OF agei The question at once
arises how have they been trained at
home, il trained at all, and what Is the
example set them by their parents Do
they ever enter one of the many Sunday
schools OF our clty' There are laws for
the protection of animals, are there none
for bipeds. If one should happen to
complain the reply comes at once why
boys will be boys aud that's the end of
It, Aud the poor old man has to grin
and bear 1t, thinking Of days long since
past, when be would have wrnng their
necks for them, as he would that OF a
chicken. Ought not parents to be very
particular in training their children.
We would here beg leave to draw the
attention of parents to book entitled
the "Mothers OF Our Great Men," and
hey will there see how careful they were
to instil into the minds OF their offspring
principles that went with them n ]
through life. They were taught to re-
spect the poor aud the aged, to honor
father and mother. A hint to the wise Is

A Noted pennsylyanIan Dead

PARNAssus, July 2.-John W. Logan,
father of Judge Logan, of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company, died at his
home In Parnassus on Monday night at
the advanced age oil So years. He was
probably the best known resident of the
valley OF the Allegheney, always having
lived ON land originally taken from the
Commonwealth by his father and occu-
pied by him until his death. Mr.. Logan
was Of well-known Scotch Irish ancestry,
and during his entire mature life was AL
active elder In the Presbyterian Church.
His lie was one of Quie unobtrusiye In
tegrity. Many years sincs he retired from
business and his last days were spent
peacefully and usefully.

A Little Boy Killed.

ERIE, July "Details of sensational
shooting affray near Spring Creek, War
rem County, have been received this
evening. Samuel Haselett and his little
son, years old, were driving along the
highway, and Just as they reached a
clearing they saw man standing beside
a fence, whom Mr.. Haselett recognized
as Abraham Priest. As they approached
Priest deliberately raieed his gun and
fred, shooting the boy through the bead.
The little fellow fell against the dash
board, exclaiming, "Oh, father" and ex-
pired. Priest claims that he was shoot
ing a rabbit and that he did not see Hase-
lett. The fact that there was no obstruc-
tion In the way, and that Priest shot In
straight line with the road, has given the
authorities sufficient grounds for a
prosecution.
Haselett had another mans horse and
the general suppositlon is that Priest
mistook his man, as he entertalns a
deadly enmity towards several OF bis
neighbors. Priest hid the gun after the
shooting and made an effort to escape.
There seems but little doubt but what he
intended to kill Haselett, mlstaking him
for some one else.
