Giles Clifford, Of Newton, Pa, ran a race
with a woodchuck on Farmer Elias r. Tolnp-
kins' place the other day He saw the wood
chuck nibbling in the clover quite distance
from his hole, and put IN his best licks 20
reach the hole ahead Of the woodchuck Gif-
ford got there first and stuck bis heel in the
hole with his foot toward the scampering
animal There vasn't room FOR the wool
chuck and the heel too, and 50 the woodchuck
stuck his teeth through Gifford's boot and
into his big toe. That made Clifford remove
bis heel from the hole with good deal q
oelerity. and the voOdchuck then slipped on :

quickly and as effectually as any girl in
the community, regardless OF educa-
tional advantages. Judy loved Mark
and Job, but she could not decide which
one she preferred. This inability gave
her great concern, and often at night
while patching her fathers brown jeans
or at evening when crouched in the
slowly darkening gold OF dying day.
milking the muly COW, she would shut
her eyes, bring up the faces OF her two
lovers and attempt TO force herself into
Q decision, but in vain, for when the
gold of evening had darkened into the
charcoal of night: when old muly stood
patiently with one foot in the pail of
milk, Judy's love remained in equal
division.
Old Filpos liked the boys, but to have
saved his life he could not have told
which one was his fsvorite.
One morning jnst as the Squire and
Judy had arisen from the breakfast
table, voices IN the sitting room an

THE LOSS OF LIFE.
weIIPosted Men Now Place It Between
1000 and 5000.

WeILPOsted Men Now Place It Between
1000 and 5000.
JoHHsTOwN, June 13.-The general
opinion among well-pOsto1 people here is
that the loss of life will be between 4, 600
and 5000. 1t was generally given out
that JOhnstown and bOrOughs adjoining
had a population of about 35, 600 people,
but this is very high estimate, and con-
servative people put the population be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000. Col. Rogers,
who has charge of the registration, states
that from all he can learn the population
only amounted to about 5000 and this
accounts for 10000 people who were sup
posed to be lost
The reports sent out from here to the
effect that - 600 to 5000 people were
missing were based upon the suppositiOn
that there were 30, 600 inhabitants in these
burroughs. The reports as TO the number
OF bodi J recovered at different points
along the flooded districts are very con-
flieting Supposed official reports have
been sent in by different persons, and
these are also conflicting, and put the
number of bodies recovered anywhere from
/. 100 to !. 800 Consequently there is no
no telling how many bodies have been re-
covered.
There was a lively row among the la
borers this morning at 10 O'Clock, which
almost resulted in riot. Some of the
L IL - haro frnun Craang.
burg started the report that they were get
ting 81 so a day from the State and 30
cents a day additional from Gen. Hastings.
The Italians, about 160 in number,
heard the report aud decided to strike.
They went - the contractors and stated
that they wanted 50 a day also. They
were informed that $1.50 was all that any
of the men were being paid, but would not
believe it. They were then ordered of
the place. but refused to 90. They went
to their tents and laid down, but were
rooted out. They refused to leave, how
ever, until Gen. II Itings sent two COM
panieJ of soldiers to the plece, who chased
tine unruly Italians away at the point OF
the bayonet, and now everything is serene
in the labor camp.
Gen. Hastings was seen after the trouble
and stated mnst positively that the Green's
burg men were receiving only 81. 90 per day,
and that no other laborers were being paid
more than that. He said 81 so a day was
what the ST .te had decided to pay the
men, and that he could not pay them more
even if he wished to.
The trouble caused no end OF excite
meut about Johnstown, aud all sorts OF
rumors were aAoat. One was to the effect
that two soldiers and six Italians were
killed. but there is no truth in any OF the
wild reports. One italian fell down while
running, and injured himself somewhat,
but outside of this no one was hurt.
The Attorney General states that he wili
have nc lawlessness or strikes, and that
any of the men who cause trouble will be
summarily dealt with.
