near Mansfield, Pa. He had been sick for
many days, but nothing in his manner in
dicated that he contemplated taking his
life. He was % years of age and leaves
wife and two children.
Miss Walk and Miss Ely of the North
Home for the Friendless for Children re-
turned to Philadelphia yesterday and took
with them the Hoffman family of nine
children. These little ones were found in
utterly destitute condition, as both of the
parents and a sister were drowned in the
food.
Miss B. W. HinckIey, head of the Chill
drens Aid Society of Philadelphia, at their
headquarters near the Fourth ward morgue,
is one of the busiest young women in the
valley. Miss Hinckley says the object of
her society is to unite parents and children
rather than send them away from Johns
town, although the little ones will be pro-
vided for if their parents are not found.
There are plenty of JOhnStown people who
will adopt these children and bring them
up as citizens of Johnstown instead of
sending them to asylums, where
they will become state paupers.
Miss Hinckley can't give an estimate of the
number OF children restored to their
parents, but it is very large. Miss Maggie
Brooks is ths only resident member of this
aid society who was not drowned. She is
a school teacher here, and knows every
child and their parents in the city. She
spends her time in hunting every house for
miles around for parents and chill
dren. When a child is found it
is sent to the headquarters, and
note and description made
of it. When any of child's relatives or
parents are found, they are sent to head
quarters, and in this way many families
havesbeen reunited
The work of the registration of survivors
of the food is going steadily on. Up to this
evening there were about q 900 registered
and the list is still increasing. The number
of the lost is placed now at 5000 by those
who held that it would reach 10000 week
ago A conservative estimate is between
$500 and 1000. Up to date there have
been 1900 bodies recovered.

SABIN SEEKS A DIVORCE
HIS WIFE ACCUSED OF HABITUAL
DRUNKENNESS.

The Summons Served Upon Her a
Week Ago in an Asylum for In
ebriates on Long Island-Both Nor
phine and Liquor Have the Unfor-
tunate Woman at Their Mercy.
ST. PAUL, Mum, June 9.-The Pioneer
PreSsprints an article in which it says that
ex-senator Sabin has brought suit for
divorce against his wife, and that a sum
mons was served week ago upon Mrs.
Sabin at Flushing, l. l., where, at the
close of Mr.. Sabin's senatorial career. she
was at her own request placed in the
asylum for inebriates. The charge made
in the complaint, which has not yet been
filed IN court, is that of habitual drunken
ness. 1t is asserted that Mrs. Sabin had for
some time prior to her marriage been an
invalid, and during that time became ad-
dicted to the use of morphine
HAS ADDED THE USE OF LIQUOR.
The habit, it is claimed, has been INDUCED
in to greater or less extent ever since. and
in late years she has added to it the use of
intoxicating liquors. 1t is stated that dur
ing the absence from home of Mr.. Sabin
she occasionally INDUCED in liquors and
drugs to excess. The Fj0neer- Press CON
tinues: 'Socially Mrs. Sabin is a most
fascinating lady, and during Mr. Sabin's
senatorial career in Washington she
gave weekly receptions. which were among
the most popular given by any lady in that
city, and were attended by the most distin-
guished people. 1t is doubtful whether the
fault of which she is charged in the COM
plant every became apparent to any of her
Washington guests or came to the knowl-
edge of her friends there. Mr.. aud Mrs.
Sabin have no children of their own. What
course Mrs Sabin will pursue is not vet
known, but it is believed that she will not
resist the suit.n

DESTRUCTION OF A BRIDGE.
George Luppert, prominent resident of
the south side, who saw the Market street
brlage taken away, gives the following de-
scrlptlon OF it: Saturday forenoon, as the
water kept rising, piles of lumber raised the
Drldge eight or ten feet at the Williamsport
end. Crowds of people from the south side
collected on the bridge to secure some of
the lumber. They were urgently and
garded the appeal. A number of honses
finally struck the bridge, knocking out the
timbers. Still the reckless crowd Remained,
and one, more foolhardy than the others.

top OF one of the towers. Soon afterward
large house struck the bridge with ter
rlf1c force and the tower fell, the bridge
going down with about fifty people. A
number were picked up by boats. but
young Kreiger, who had been killed by the
falling towers, was carried away, as were
also Miller and Gibson. The others who
were on the bridge succeeded in graspino
the wires, and as the bridge, which had
broken near the south side, swung around
1t was carried to the shore on the Williams
port side and those who had not been
carried away got out safely. Two men
were saved by getting on the tower which
fell across the pier nearest the south side.
Young Kreiger was one of three brothers
on the bridge when it fell.

LAST WEEKS WEATHER.
The Signal Service Shows What It
Has Been at Various Points.

The Signal Service Shows What 1t
Has Been at Various Points
WASHINGTON. June 9.-The weather
crop bulletin of the signal service for the
past week is as follows:
Cool weather has continued throughout
all the districts east of the Rocky Noun
tains, the daily temperature in the central
valleys ranging from g. to 12o below the
average daily temperature for the week,
while in the northwest and in the southern
and middle states the daily temperature
was was from 90 to g. lower than usual.
In Minnesota and Dakota the season con-
tinues from one to two weeks in advance
In New England it is about one week early,
while it is slightly in advance in the CEN
tral valleys, and slightly retarded on the
Gulf and South Atlantic coasts
LESS RAIN THAN USUAL.
The rainfall for the week has been gener-
ally less than usual throughout all the ap-
ricultural districts. except New England,
although well-distributed rains occurred
generally throughout the wheat and corn
states, and over the tobacco and northern
portion of the cotton regions. Drought
continues from Florida and the southern
portion of Georgia to Southern Louisiana,
within which region no rain occurred dur
ing the week, and the rains of the previous
week were not sufficient to relieve this re-
gion from previous drought. The pres
enU week is the third week of the current
season during which no rain occurred in this
section.
WHERE 1T IS IN EXCESS.
The seasonal rainfall continues in excess
generally throughout the middle states,
the eastern portion of North and South
Carolina, and from Texas northward to the
Missouri valley. From the Ohio river
southwark to the Gulf coast only from so
to 70 per cent of the seasonal rainfall has
occurred. Ia Tennessee and the Ohio valley
the injurious effect of such large deficiencies
in the rainfall has been greatly mitigated
by the timely occurrence of rain in this
region. Heavy local rains occurred over
the northern and western portions of the
cotton region, including northern Georgia,
the western portions of South Carolina
central Mississippi, northern Louisiana and
eastern Texas.
TOBACCO IMPROVED.
In Kentucky and Tennessee the weather
has improved the tobacco crop much more
than was anticipated, but the previous in
jury will doubtless prevent full crop. In
Texas all crops were benefited excepting
cotton, the growth of which was retarded
by cool weather. The recent rains and
freshets in the middle states and North
Carolina have greatly damaged growing
crops, and in localities escaping freshets
the weather was SO cool as to prove in
furious.

The Contrast With the Day a Week
Ago Wonderful.

Ago Wonderful
WILLIAMsPoRT, Pa, June 9.-This city
has passed a quiet Sunday, the contrast be-
tween this and the one a week ago being
wonderful. Services were held in most of
the churches. Col. Thomas w. Lloyd of this
city, who was hemmed in fishing cabin on
Larry's creek, in the northwest
ern part of the county, to-day
made the following statement:
'The valley of Larry's creek, from Saleds-
burg to the mouth of the stream, is swept
almost as clean as a carpet floor. Not only
were houses, barns, outhouses, horses,
cattle and grain swept away, but even the
very soil itself has been washed out SO that
what were once blooming and fertile farms,
are now but barren mass of stones. Every
bridge is swept away except one below
Saledsburg, at Mallory's, which still stands,
though it is badlyhamaged.
BEGGARS DESCRIPTION.
'The scene in Saledsburg on Monday
beggars description. Houses were swept
from their foundations and many OF them
upset. Bridges were lodged in trees. aud
wagons, outhouses, board walks and planl1s
from the road were scattered and piled up
in all directions. The borough was

an agitation having for its object the
abolition Of Sunday inspections and drills
in the army. Numerous petitions were
filed, and representations made in other
ways to the President, which wera. all re-
ferred to the war department. Conflicting
views upon the subject were held by Off

the matter, as is shown by the following
general official order, the first made by
Gen. kelton since he assumed the office Of

Begun Yesterday.
SALEM, VA, June 10.-The exercises of
the thirty-sixth annual commencement of
Roanoke college began this morning with a
baccalaureate sermon by Rev. James G..
Vose D. D.. of Providence, r. l. His text
was Matthew, xxx, "a: "Verily / say unto
you, this generation shall not pass till all
these things be fulfilled" ''O1r own
time" he said, 'presents crisis
in the progress of the world that
might recall to us his solemn words.
This generation was likely to see: First. a
great increase of population all over the
world, vast increase of food supply, and
the filling up of the waste places of the
earth with teeming population; second,
closer and closer international intercourse !.
third, vast increase in the use of the
English language, which would be spoken
by greater numbers than ever made use of
any other form of human speech. The
religion of the future, he believed, was
to be ever advancing christianity, The
religion that was TO save the world was
more than forms, more than doctrine, more
than feeling; it was life. 1t was not by
preaching, but by faithful lives that the
world was to be saved. He appealed to the
students to have lofty aspirations and to
advance christianity.
Rev. DIR. Mosheim Rhodes of st. Louis
delivered the annual address before the
Young Mems Christian Association Of the
college.
Tomorrow morning the trustees will hold
their annual meeting, and in the evening
four young men will enter the lists as con-
testants for gold medal in oratory. Many
