HOW YELDELL ESCAPED.
He Tells n Fellow Prisoner How He
Eluded the Omcers-His Wanderings
Since Blackwell Was Shot

He Tells n Fellow Prisoner How. He
Eluded the Omcers-His Wanderings
Since Blackwell Was Shot.
While Yeldell was confined in Jail here
he talked freely to fellow prisoner in an
adjoining cell, who told o reporter yesterday
how the colored man succeeded in evading
the South Carolina officers.
According to his story after he escaped
from the cotton gin house, where he was
surrounded, he travelled 30 miles the first
day and spent the night with friend. The
deputies were in hot pursuit, and not far
from Columbia he was forced to hide in
the high grass near telegraph station,
where be overheard the deputy sherIffs CIV
ing the operator a description of himself
that was sent to various places.
He managed to reach Columbia where he
spent several months, appearing often on the
streets during the day and night. Begin
ming to feel little nervous, he went to
Weldon, and worked on the railroad.
Finally he drifted to Richmond, where he
worked during the day and studied at night.
Realizing that he was still pursued he
started for Philadelphia by way of Balti-
more and the bay. Reaching the Quaker
City he went into Berks county, where he
spent the winter among the wood choppers.
He then decided to go to Wilberforce Col
lege in Ohio, and after four or five years
came to Pittsburg, where he was arrested.
Yeldell, so his fellow prisoner SAYS, ad-
mitted he was in the crowd when Deputy
Sheriff Blackwell was killed, but he could
not say who fired the shot. During the
affray he was shot in the arm. He declared
the Southern people don't like colored men
who try to better themselves, and this is
why they pursued him.

John Wood, of Forty+ourth street, re-

Johnstown, who said that diver had de-
scended 20 feet under the water near the
stone bridge at Johnstown on Friday. and,
after he had touched the bottom and skir-
mished around, he came upon one of the P.
r. r. passenger trains, and scene OF aw-
full reality met his view. After much diff
Guilty he climbed to the platform of one of
the coaches and scanned its interior as best
he could. He was able, even thus, to discover
q number of the victims of that tragic
catastrophe. He says he "shall never for
get the narrowing sight; people in
all sorts OF postures; some hurled
under the seats, others locked in each
others arms, and q number huddled to-
gether."
So sickening was the spectacle that he
was unable to 90 on with his search. The
diver, after ascending, related to the by
ISLANDERS that, with the events of the catas-
trophe still fresh in his mind, and not ex-
pecting to find the train, words failed him

humane object of releasing and removing
the bodies

Near Perrysville.

An Interesting Service ut the New Cemetery
Near PerrysviIle.
The services ct st. Philomena's Church
yesterday were of a special character, il
being the anniversary of the patron saint Of
the church. Solemn high mass was cele-
brated in the morning when Haydn's No. 1
Mass was sung with orchestral accompani-
ment. The congregation were able to wor-
ship for the first time for some months
without their view of the altar being OBJ
structed. The scaffolding that has been
used for the repaint1ng of the church was
removed. The church was lighted by elec-
tricity, and presented very imposing ap-
pearance. The sermon was preached by the
Rev. Father Schafer, who, in an eloquent
panegyric Of the virtues of the patron saint,
exhorted his hearers to emulate her virtues.
In the afternoon the congregation took
buses, cabs. wagons and other available
vehicles to the new cemetery, on the Perrys-
vile road, to take part in the blessing of the
stations of the cross in the chapel. The
choir and priests, robed in black vestments,
preceded by the cross-bearer, gathered
around the altar and recited prayers, after
which each of the valuable oil paintings
was blessed and hung permanently on the
walls. At the conclusion of the blessing of
the stations, the choir and clergy grouped
around the altar and sang the old father
land hymn, "Grosser Gott," after which
Graun's stately ''Te Deum" was sung
Father Werner, rector of st. Philomena's S
Church, pronounced the benediction.
The cemetery is 70 acres and 126 perches
in extent, situated in Ross township, and
laid out in about 200 burial lots. The
cost of the cemetery, together with the NOR
tuary chapel, will be about $50, 900.

Water From One of the Park Wells Analyzed
by Hugo Blnnck-Found to be Remark.
nbiy Pure md Good.
About a week ago an item appeared in
some of the papers giving what was said to
be an analysis of the water taken from one
of the Allegheny Park wells. and also an
analysis of the Allegheny river. water.
Both were. it is now stated. incorrect and
misleading. The analyses were both made
about two years ago, when the river water
was not in as bad q condition as it has been
this summer. The we'll water analyzed was
taken from we'll drilled on the property OF
the late James Park, Jr. BY some means
the figures of the analysis, as published,
were transposed somewhat and made the
well water appear more impure than the
river water.
This and the statements made by several
physicians in Allegheny that the water
being obtained from the wells recently
drilled in the Park was impure and liable
to cause sickness. suggested to the citizens
who had the well drilled in the park, near
the foot of Boyle street, about $50 feet east
OF Federal street, that 1t might be we'll to
a competent chemist. The services of
Professor Hugo Blanck were secured, and a
sufficient quantity of the water was drawn
from the well mentioned and furnished
him. His chemical examination lasted
over four days. The most careful and accu-
rate methods known to science were used,
with the result that the water is proven to
be remarkably pure and free from anything
injurious to health. The report, as SUBJ
mitted by Professor Blanck, is as follows:
PITrsBURG. August 10, 1889.
Citizens of the Third Ward, Allegheny:
GENTLEMEN-The water from well, Third
ward park, near Federal street, Allegheny. you
ordered to be analyzed August 8, 1889, for
1000 parts: Total solids, O4572: organic matter,
02lsO: chlorine, 00566; sulphuric acid,
0O95; nitric acid, 00Ol: nitrous acid,
none; free ammonia, none; album am
monia, 00O4; lime, 0074: magnesia, 00SS. There
are strong traces of iron only. The temporary
hardness is 107, calculating on 100000 parts.
The permanent hardness is 64. This shows
tnat, in boiling. the water gets softer, large
quantity of carbonic acid being in the well
water. The amount of total solids is far from
being the limit for drinking water, as even 500
milligram are regarded as healthy. Chlorine
and sulphuric acid are both combined with
sodium, and derive these salts from an inor-
ganic source, and not from decaying meat.
The small amount of nitric acid. present
doesn't admit any suspicion. The absence of
nitrous acid and free ammonia the indicators
OF the near neighborhood of sewers, is
desideratum which the Allegheny river water
leaves us without. The hardness of the water
is not above that used in many other cities.
where even Is is not uncommon.
may say. in addition to the analysis of the
water above given, that the water is sound,
pollution whatever and that it is a very recon-
mendable drinking water. HUGO BLANCK.

PERlLS OF IMMIGRATION.
The Rev. A. nj. Hills Talks on That Sub
ject-Tho Laws Regulating the Influx of
Strangers Should be Stricter.

The Rev. A. M. Hills Talks on That Sub
jec,-Thc Laws Regulating the Inaux of
Strangers Should be Stricter.
At the First Congregational Church in
Allegheny, the Rev. 4. M. Hills addressed
his audience last night on the subject:
"The Perils OF Excessive Immigration. I"
By way of introducing his discourse the
reverend gentleman related the Biblical ac-
count of the Hebrews, who immigrated
from their own country and began
mingling with the neighboring people on
the other side of the Jordan. For this they
were repeatedly punished by the Lord, who
had made the Hebrews His chosen people,
but not the Moabites, Amalekites and other
tribes
These facts the Rev. Hill then applied to
America, and he explained how indiscrim-
mate immigration was causing a great deal
of harm to the population. He explained
how England forced the Irish to come over
here; how Germany unloaded its surplus
population of paupers on America, and how
the rabble of all Europe made America
their Mecca. He said that two-thirds of
the immigrants that come over annually are
a menace to the American people. From
them spring mp the Anarchists and Social
lists. They cause close competition in labor
and bring down the wages Of the working
men.
''Of course" he continued, 81 do not
mean to have anyone infer that there are
not people coming over just as good as those
that are here already. Such people we will
gladly welcome. But Determinations should
be made. The laws regulating immigration
ought to be made more stringent to prevent
an influx of the unruly, the paupers and the
undesirable generally.
