HARRISBURG, P A., June 1.-The great
rain storm has entailed great losses in the
east and south ends of the city. The
water rose above the banks of Paxton
creek, swept away bridges, and reached
the first stories of houses. Last night
hundreds of families were in distress, and
feared to leave their homes. Mayor
Fritchy conducted the relief expedition,
which utilized all the boats to be had, and
while rain came down in torrents, he and
his assistants did good work. While thus
engaged the Mayor and Oue of his officers
narrowly escaped drowning.
The Susquehanns river at this point is
18 feet above low water mark and rising
every hour. independence island is COM
pletely covered. The tracks of the Penn
sylvsnia railroad south of here are covered
by abeut two feet of water. Trains from
the east stop here, and at this writing the
probability is that it will be several hours
before traffic to the west will be resumed.
Advices Just received from points up the
river say that the beautiful summer houses
owned by Harrisburgers, about ten miles
from here, were washed away, aS were
sheds and outhOuses of every kind. Great
embsnkments here caved in, culverts and
sewers demolished and great trees laid
prone.

SCENES IN PITTSBURG.
A Day and Night of Terrible Anxiety
Noble Generosity


A Day and Night OF Terrible Anxiety
Noble Generosity
PITTsBURG, PA, June In this city
to-day there was but one topic of converse
tton, and that was the Johnstown deluge
Crowds of eager watchers all day long be-
sieged the newspaper bulletin boards, and
rendered the streets impossible in their
vicinity. Many Of them had friends in
the stricken district, and names, names, :"
was their cry. But there were no names.
The storm, which had probably swept
away the lives of their loved ones, had
also carried away all means of cOmmuni-
and their vigil was unrewarded. To
show the state to which the
telegraph is reduced, it is sufficient to state
that it ia not yet known whether the
Western Union telegraph operator at
JohnstOwn is dead or alive. The nearest
point to Johnstown which can be reached
tonight is New Florence, and the one wire
there is used almost constantly by orders
for collins, embslmiDg fluid and preparing
special cars to carry the recovered dead to
their homes.
WATCHING FOR BODIES.
Along the banks Of the now tear burnt
Allegheny we're placed watchers for dead
bodies, and all wreckage was carefully
scanned Tor the dead. The result of this
vigilance WAS the recovery of one body,
that of woman, floating down on pile
of brush. Seven other bodies were seen,
but could not be reached owing to the
swift moving wrecksge by which
they were surrounded. Measures for
relief were promptly taken by
thoughtful men. The Mayors of
both Pittsburg and Allegheny issued
calls for meetings which were responded
to by throngs Of Pitt'burgg wealthy men.
At one p. m. $50, 600 was in hand and at
five the sum was swelled to 500, 600. The
Americas Republican club met and COM
mittee to take charge of aid to sufferers
was elected; 81, 300 was subscribed Tor the
sufferers by the club. The Exposition So
ciety offered its large new building to re-
lief COMMITTEES for housing of the living
sufferers. A special train was chartered
by the newspapers to carry provisions,
medicines and clothing to the nearest pos
sible point to Johnstown.

Since the commencement of the ar rival of their fall and winter goods, M. Goldwster ( Bros mammoth mercan- tile establishment has been "ths talk of the town," particularly among the ladies. The JouRNAL-MrxER man vis- ited the place to-day, and was sur priced not only at the mag gni6oent dis play of goods, 60 artistically arranged, but st the immense stock, as we'll. This firm has had the reputation of keeping the most varied, e well as the nsst elegant, stock of goods, of any house in Arizona, but this season they seem to have even outione themselves. Az one enters the store, the first thing to attract the eye is profusion of mil linery goods, of the very latest styles, consisting of every variety and form of head gear for ladies and misses, of every age and station. Toboggans of different varit ties, shapes and shades, hats, bonnets, caps, plain and un- trimmed, or richly beset with ribbons and feathers, babies cape, and hat CT naments of all kinds, and all in cad less variety. Feuntlsroy collars and cufis, the latest rage, are also found in abundance, together with ohatelaine bags, dress goods of every texture and quality known, with trimmings to match" In this line is noticeable . large number of dress patterns of which there are no two alike. Their stsck of braids and other trimmings, for drsssss, is particularly large and of great va risty. A show case full of new sttrac. tions. in the way of novelties fer ladies, including vinagrettss, the latest out, is very artistically arranged. Included in their mammoth stock is lot of the most elegant Spanish lace and ostrich feather fans, in all shades of color, ever offered in Arizona; also magnificent Spanish wsrk hsndkerchiefs, such as are seldom found except in the finest stores of metropolitan cities. which are patronized exclusively by the aristoc- racy. la ladies hosiery and under wear, every one can be suited, both as to quality and Ir ce.
 They have also a full and complete line of table linen, napkins, handker- chiefs and Chinese silk for fancy work.
 If. as some philosopher has remarked, "the apparel oft proclaims the man" there need be no excuse for any man not being proclaimed, if he will take a look through the immense stock of wearing apparel found there, as it is the largest they have ever imported, with quality and variety in proportion, and is accompanied with . complement of gents furnishing goods, neck wear, boots, shoes, etc.
 This enterprising firm respectfully solici,s an inspection of their goods and prices. and after one has spent an hour in the pleasant task, the question sug- gests itself, "Whst have they not for salef"-Arizona Jeurnal-Miner, Oct. 25.
