swept to Destruction Thousands
Of Lives Lost.


A flood unprecedented in power
and extent has swept through Central
Pennsylvania, Southern New York,
Maryland and in Virginia, as far
south as Richmond, destroying thou
sands of lives and millions of proper
ty. The rain commenced falling
Thursday night and continued in un-
abating torrents through Saturday.
The scene of greatest destruction
and horror was at the Iron and Steel
Manufacturing town of Johnstown,
on the Pennsylvania Central, where
almost the entire town with it's thou
sands of inhabitants we're swept from
existence. The tales of horror from
this scene of terrific destruction are
too terrible to be repeated. In ho-
tel OF this town which had sixty-five
guests, sixtythree were killed by
falling floors and walls. Scores of
citizens fled to the roof of the Catho-
lie Church to find refuge from the
flood--in some unexplained way the
church took fire, and all we're con-
sumed. Buildings and debris swept
down and lodged against the bridge
of the railroad which runs through
the center of the town--and into this
pile of timber, fifty feet high, were
swept and confined hundreds OF peo-
pie, dead and alive. While the work
OF rescuing the living from this con-
fnement was going on, the pile took
fire-and it is believed that from sew
en- to eight hundred burned to death
in this fiery furnace. AT this point
more than two thousand feet of the
railroad track was entirely swept
away.
A Greensburg special telegram
says: "The first section of the day
express which passed here at o'clock
was laying between Slnghollow and
Johnstown yesterday afternoon, when
the water came down. The food cut
one of the cars containing fifty or six
ty passengers, loose, and it was car
ried away, and 1t is supposed the pas
seRgers persisted. A few of the oc-
cupants Of the other cars it is thought
escaped, but it is doubtful"
AT Elmira, New York, at Williams
port, Harrisburg, York, Carlisle, and
many other points in Pennsylvania;
at Ellicott's Mills, Frederick, and
other towns in Maryland; at Alex
andria and Richmond, Va; and at
the City of Washington, the flood
was unprecedented, and everywhere
accompanied with great destruction
of property and loss of life. In Wash
ington on Saturday evening, the food
from the Potomac had reached Penn
sylvania Avenue, and the Sixth Street
Railroad Station was entirely cut of
on all sides by water.
There is no previous record in this
country of such a food so extensive
and SO terribly destructive.

manager of the telegraph company in
this city: Better inform Governor
Beaver that this mornings reports

at between $4,000 and $4,000. The
greatest disorder prevails. The place
is infested with thieves and vandals
who are robbing the dead and ap-
propriating everything they can lay
their hands on. These people are
eating almost everything in the shape
of provisions sent here for the flood
sufferers.

Constable John r. O'Rrtcn Fined for
 Contempt of Court,
 Henry O'Neill was a prisoner in the police court to-day, charged with obtain ing money under false pretenses from Henry & Allen, manufacturer of nov elites, on Meadow street. Early in March Constable John F. OBrien was given bill for collection for a debt of S6 which Henry X Allen owed Robert Flaherty. ONeill according to the evl- dence was given the bill for collection by O'Brien. and appropriated the money for his own use claiming that O Brlen was indebted to him. A few days later O'Brien presented another bill and Henry & Allen were biiged to make a second settlement. MT Henry met O'Neill on the street few days ago and on the latters refusal to refund the money warrant for his arrest was sworn out. Judge Bradstreet found O'Neill not guilty. Constable OBrlen was immediately placed under arrest for obtaining money under false pre- tences. He was afterwards released un- der bonds of SlO0. The case will be tried tomorrow.
 Constable O'Br1en failed to appear in court as a witness in the O'Neill case, al though legally summoned until brought in by Chief Egan upon capias issued by the court. He was coming up town on a horse car and it was nearly half-past nine when he arrived in court. He was fined $2.

ST MARGARET'S BACCALAUREATE k
An Interesting Address by ReV pr
 Lindsay of Bridgeport.

An Interesting Address by NeF Dr
 Lindsay of Bridgeport.
 It was an attractive sight last evening to see over forty young ladies arrayed in all colors. marching by twos. each wear ing a bouquet of oX-eye daisies. They were the sweet girls of St Margaret's, the Episcopal diocesan school, which has so tlourished under the guidance of the Rev F. T. Russell They were vending their way to St Johns to be addressed by the Rev Dr Lindsay of St Johns, Bridgeport.
 After evening prayer had been said by the attending clergy, Dr Lindsay ascended the pulpil, opened the Bible and read the story of Mary at Bethany amounting the feet of Christ with precious olnt- ment and wiping them with her hair. Without using even note, Dr Lindsay | in prompt, forcible manner proceeded l to deliver an interesting sermon.
 Christ had said to his apostles at the time that wheresoever the gospel should be preached this deed of Mary's should be told asa memorial of her. The feast was probably held in the house of Lazarus, his favorite resort, and it was declared | that she had anointed him for his bur ial. She had witnessed his mercy to the poor and his majesty of mien and character, and might have had pro- l Christ interpreted her act. She there fore treats him as her king, whom the populace will soon receive with loud ac' claim as he journeys to his temple only to cruelty him when few days | have passed.
 Like her we to-day know him anG therefore may love and serve him, Hi' interesting personality has been revealed to Us by the four evangelists, even be yond what Mary knew when she ex pressed her devotion. We can compre hend his character in its breadth anc depth and so be led to show our devotion and reverence for and faith in him.
 How, in the nineteenth century, shal we express it : Here the preacher gave at length six modes, on each of which ht dwelt by obeying his commandments making his life our model by becoming through sacramental grace a part o him by prayer to God through hi: Name; by gifts of pennies to the poor as the subjects of the king and of oul riches to the king himself; by sending or carrying His gospel to the utmos bounds Of the earth easily by giving tt our parochial church of our choices treasury. The speaker then addressed the young ladies before him. Let IL not forget that this amounting was the act of woman. Peter. a man, drew his sword in defense of Christ, but ; woman brought a costly gift and gave her personal service. There is something in woman's nature fitted for such work and hers is an intuitive nature. quick t( discern, prompt to act. Like Mary al Bethany, consecrate yourselves in the spring time of life, give of your time your treasures and your talents, If yol write or sing, do so for his honor. | you have the cunning hand of a painter use it to decorate His sanctuary. No on may ever write your life, but if lik, Mary you serve him, the day cometl when he will say of you, she hath don' what she could,

Tho second Regiments Return.

The Second regiment arrived home Saturday night after a two days visit to Rhode Island. All speak i'll the highest terms of the generous treatment they re- ceived from the citizens of Providence. The men were given only an hours time in Newport, and then the Elm City started on her homeward journey. When the boat started a high sea was running. and the boat rolled and pitched considerably and many of the men be- came seasick. New Haven was reached about 7:30 and as the Elm City came up the harbor the band struck up "Home Again." The Waterbury boys arrived home at lO:20 and all express themselves as being greatly satisfied with the trip.

Arrangements have been completed for the sale of the New Haven Union to Harry Alloway and William T. Nichols of the New York Times. The paper will sail under a new name, and will, it is understood, be republican in politics. Since its birth in 1873 the Union has suc- cessively advocated the principles of the labor. greenback and democratic par ties. It has been everything for while, and nothing long. It could generally be found where the personal interests of its controlling spirit dictated.
