THE MAGNITUDE OF THE PENNsYI
vANIA DISASTER,

The sickening details of the terrible
disaster that has fallen upon thousands
OF happy homes along Stony creek il
western Pennsylvania by the recent
avalanche of pent-up waters, grows in
magnitude as the narrowing investlga.
ton proceeds. No such terrible calan-
ity has ever occurred in this country be.
fore. The loss of life is now estimated
at 10000, and these figures are more
likely to be increased than reduced. The
prosperous towns of Conemaugh, Johns
town, Cambria, Sheridan, Coopersdale,
Sang Hollow, New Florence, Nineveh,
Lockport and Bolivar all figure in the
enormous death list-but at Johnstown
the loss of life was SO great that no re-
liable estimate can be formed at present.
It was town of nearly 5000 inhabitants
with one daily and three weekly papers.
This prosperous city was almost swept
out of existence. One hotel contained
sixty-fve guests and out of that number
sixty-three we're killed by the destruction
of the building, and the awful death-rate
seems to be almost up to this average.
Human beings far removed from such
terrible sights may sit and picture in
their minds the almost indescribable hor-
rors of the situation, and as vividly as
they may, yet who can fully realize the
destruction of 10000 lives or more, with
all their homes, happiness and earthly
joys in less than one hour. Add to this
the hundreds of men, women and child
rem who we're swept off by the raging
waters above Johnstown, who managed
to reach the roofs of the hundreds of
homes that were borne on the bosom of
the deadly wave, only to meet more
terrible death by fire when the great
mass lodged against the the Johnstown
railroad bridge. How terrible to
contemplate roaring waters un-
der and the red fame of death
around them. Great, strong men wept
in agony, and women tainted, and all
were powerless to render aid to their fell
low beings who slowly roasted in the
crushed and floating ruins of their own
homes.
Conemaugh, the first town struck
by the madly rushing wall Of
water, was laid low, Johnstown is utterly
demolished, Cambria City swept out Of
existence, and not house stands in Col
vile, and so quick was this destruction
shat not one-half of the entire popula-
tion reached by the terrible avalanche Of
water had time to escape from even their
own homes. The details are sickening
and full Of human agony, and none can
fully realize the horrors Of the scene
only those who stood helpless to aid
and those who were rescued from the
flames and rushing waters. A battle
wherein 10, 600 men are killed represents
mighty struggle Of perhaps 100000

IT is evident that the Indian Z

IT is evident that the Indian Defense
association, since the recent interview of
DIR. Bland with Secretary Noble, has
been industriously engaged in sowing
dynamite among the Indians, and that
the commissioners will not find the sail
ing entirely smooth. It seems that the
Indian Defense association wanted a
construction put upon section II of the
agreement. It first addressed him a
letter asking him whether or not the
money to support the schools for twenty
years is to be supplied by the govern
ment under the treaty of 1868, or charged
to and deducted from the fund to accrue
from the sale of the $11, 100000 acres of
land, to be ceded by the Sioux under the
provisions of this act. Second Whether
or not the cost of the cows, bulls, agri-
cultural implements, schools, etc, pro-
vided for in section II, is to be charged
to and deducted from the moneys arising
from the sale Of that land, or paid for by
the government out of the moneys due
the Indians under the treaty OF 1868.
Not hearing from the request within q
period of six months, DR.. Kent, presi-
dent of the association, called in person
upon Secretary Noble and assured him
that the Defense association desired to
be in line with the policy of the govern
ment, but hinted that an Interpretation
of section II satisfactory to the associa-
ton would be necessary to keep the asso-
citation in line. Secretary Noble looked
upon this interview as something in the
nature of threat, and very tartly re-
piled that if the Defense association con-
trolled the Indians, the government had
made mistake; commission should
have been appointed to confer with the
association instead of the Indians. Com
munication between the association and
the secretary is now had only in writing.
Since that conference, which was held
about the middle of May, the Indian
Defense association has been sending
out warnings to the Indians to look care
carefully after their interests as embod-
led in that ambiguous section II.
It is hoped the day is not far distant
when the government will deal more in
telliRently with the Indian question. It is
time for an end to complicated treaties
susceptible OF several constructions.
Public policy should govern the opening
Of Indian reservations and in treating
with the Indians the government should
avoid all ambiguity. The present
proposition Of the government is
weak and indefinite in many respects,
but lest the TRIBUNE should be- charged
with opposition to the opening Of the
land, it will not enter into details. Suffice
il to rsay, il the government would pay
the Indians outright for their lands, and
take it and then let settlers have it on
the same terms that it now allows them

picked up badly injured. He is also
burned internally by smoke and it is
feared thathe can not live. A body which
was taken from the building was
recognized as Samuel Cord, one
Of the Oldest employees of the

taken to the Morgue, where it has not
yet been identified. 1t is charred and
burned SO badly that Identification will
be difficult. This completes the casual
ties SO far as known at present. During
the fire the discharge of fireworks
sounded as II hard-fought battle was
in progress, and for nearly two hours
was heard the rattle of small musketry,
interspersed at frequent intervals with
the heavier reports of the larger pieces,
while sparks and an occasional rocket
would shoot from the windows. These
explosions created great consterna-
ton among the spectators. The cause
of the fire is mystery. Well insured.

Sharpless is corpse from hyprophobia.
Three days ago Sharpless was noticed TO

he was losing his mind. This morning
he was much worse and began to bark
like dog at intervals. BY noon he was
frothing at thee mouth. swapping, snarl-
ing at every thing which came near him,
and 1t was by almost superhuman efforts
that his brother, at whose house he was,
prevented the mad man from biting him.
After dinner the police were called upon,
and between spells he was hauled TO
the station house. There he became
SO frantic, foaming at the mouth,
growing and trying to bite the officers
that great precaution was necessary. He
was hand-cuffed and placed upon bed.
The police surgeon pronounced him in
the last stage OF hydrophobia. A vessel
Of water was placed near him, and the
mans frantic efforts to get away from 1t
were pitiful. Sharpless lived until
eight o'clock, suffering untold agony.
1t was necessary TO bind him to a cot
for fear Of his attack upon attendants.
1t is the most pronounced case Of hydro
phobia ever seen here. The strangest
part is the dog has shown no signs Of
rabies, but as precaution 1t was killed

the explosion of an old range boiler
with which they were experimenting.
A boy named Henry Kniese was cut in

experiments, and were using the old
boiler to generate steam, with which
they ran miniature engine. The
steam passed through gas-pipes from
the boiler to the engine. The
boys intended to attach the engine to an
ice-cream freezer, SO that handwriting
could be dispensed with. While Harry
was oiling the engine and Willie was
banking the fire with bricks, terrific
explosion occurred, which was felt for
blocks around. Both boys were hurled
some distance and frightfully crushed,
both by being thrown against the walls
and by being struck with flying bricks
and pieces OF metal. Harry died in

The Peculiar Ruling of Virginia Judge
Throws the Case Entirely Out OF Court.
OSAEcocK, VA, June 24.-Last March
Mrs. Virginia Taylor was convicted Of
poisoning her husband, the jury finding
verdict of murder in the second
degree. The trial lasted nearly q
week and attracted considerable atten-
ton. Mrs. Taylor was defended by the
ablest lawyers in the county, who ap-
pealed from the county court to circuit
court on exceptions to the rulings Of
the Judge. In his charge to the jury
the latter had instructed that YER
dict setting forth any degree of murder
might be rendered. Judge Gunther, Of
the circuit court, decides that the lower
court erred. According to the laws Of
Virginia murder by poisoning is murder in
the first degree only, and as the law is
also explicit in setting forth that if an
other trial is granted the accused can
not be tried for higher crime than the
one that he was previously convicted.
The Judge, therefore, decided that Mrs.
Taylor must be discharged from custody.
She was accordingly set free.
