New zooleeleal park,


WASHINGTON, My 29.-The site Of
the new geological park for which con-
gress appropriated 100000 at its last
session, has been selected by the COM
mission to whom the matter was referred.
1t lies along the banks of Rock creek,
northwest Of the city, between Woodley
lane and the Klingel road, and com
prises about 100 acres, delightfully."- stu
ated and admirably adapted for the pur-
poses.
Senator Stanford has sent to the
Smithsonian institution young ante
lope from California, to add to the col
lection for the national ZOO. II was
eleven days on the trip, and reached the
park very weak, but is recovering, and
Captain Weedin, the keeper, hopes to
be able to save it. Heretofore it has been
found impossible to keep antelopes III
confinement for any length of time.

sullivan In Great Peril.

CHICAGO, MAY 30.-It is rumored that
the police, in their further search today
OF the cottage in which DR.. Cronin was
murdered, found a pick and other ice
tools, presumed to have been the
property of Sullivan, the Ice dealer.
The authorities are reticent as to the re-
suit OF today's investigation, and refuse
to afrin or deny thisrumor. The theory
is advanced that it was with blows from
these instruments that DIR. Cronin was
so foully murdered. When it is remem-
bered that a notable discovery Of the
post mortem examination was that the
skull was in no place fractured, this con-
lecture does not appear reasonable.
The tools today discovered, it is under.
stood, have been hidden partly under
ground and in rubbish heap in an out
room or shed adjoining the cottage.
The greatest importance is attached to
this report, as it is construed into the
browning evi lence Of Ice Dealer Sulli-
vans completely in the murder.

posed that two persons were buried

burning of five men are considered au-
thentic, but details are impossible to
get at this hour. II is also reported
that ten men were caught by the fire
and have not been seen since 1t is
supposed that they are dead.
One man was killed by the blowingup
of a building.
The whole city is simply paraIyzed,
and at everv corner stand groups of

fall of snow for this season of the year is
reported from several parts OF the state
today. At Schoolcraft the snow is four
inches deep and still falling, while

A HORRIBLE HOLOCAUST.


JoHNsTowN, Pa, June LILO :40P. III.
Most Of the accumulation buildings
which were swept away by the angry
waves to the Pennsylvania railway
bridge, and piled up fully fifty feet high.
have been burned to the waters edge.
Before the buildings took fire many
people dead and alive were taken from
them, and,in several instances the un-
fortunates were so wedged in that it was
necessary to chop their legs or to re-
leve them.
The Catholic church was also de-
stroyed by fire this morning. Many
people were on the roof when the
structure took fire. All of them were
consumed in the flames.
The Damage is as yet ineetimable, re-
gardless of the great loss of life. The
Pennsylvania railways loss will be
enormous.
EIGHT THOUSAND DEAD.
SANG Hollow, June 2-1 A. M.-The
FIRST accounts sent out OF the Johnstown
disaster are far above the widest estl-
mates placed upon the extent OF the
calamity, and instead Of 1000 or 5000, 1T
is probable the list Of the dead will
reach 5000.
1t is now known that two passenger
trains, two sections of an express on The
Pennsylvania railroad, have been throw
into the maddened torrent and the pas
sengers drowned. These trains we're
held at Johnstown from Friday at Ii A.
NJ, and we're laying on the siding be-
tween Johnstown and Conemaugb sta
tions.
The awful torrent came down the mar
row defile between, a distance OF nine
miles, and with fall OF 800 feet in that
distance, weeping away the villages Oh
South Fork, Mineral Point, Woodville
and Conemaugh, leaving but one build
ing standing, wooden mill, where but
an hour before had stood hundreds, and
dashing on with the roar OF cataract
and the speed of the wind upon the fair
city at the foot OF the hills.
The plain, in which but yesterday sat
Johnstown, sits in the mountains like a
Jewel in diadem. The great Gautier
steel works sat in this place. and the
city below it., the railroad tracks bound

BALTIMORE, May 30.--The subscribers

broken dam at the foot of the lake to
Johnstown, is almost eighteen miles,
and with the exception of one point the
water passed through a narrow "
shaped valley. Four miles below the
dam lay the town of South Fork, where
South Fork itself empties into the Cone
maugh river. The town contained
about 1000 inhabitants It has not been
heard from, but it is said that four-ifthS
of it has been swept away.
Four miles further down, on the Cone
maugh river, which runs parallel with
the main line of the Pennsylvania rail-
road, was the town of Mineral Point.
1t had 800 inhabitants, 80 per cent. OF
the houses being on fiat, and close to
the river 1t seems impossible at this
time to hope that any Of them have es-
capped.
Six miles further down was the town
of Conemaugh, and here alone there
was Typographical possibility of the
spreading OF the flood and the breaking
of its force. Ii contained 2500 inhabi-
tants, and must be almost wholly
devastated.
Woodvale, with 1000 people lay mile
below Conemaugh, in the fat, and one
mile further down was Johnstown and
its cluster OF sister towns. Cambria
City and Conemaugh, with total popN-
lation of 30 900 on made" ground, and
stretched along the river were the inn
mense iron works of the Cambria Iron
& Steel Company, who have $5,0O0,00O
invested in their plant. Besides this
there are many other large industrial es-
tablishments on the bank of the river,
how bailey damaged cannot be esti-
mated.
At II p. M. railroad man says the
loss Of life will reach hundreds and pos
sibly over a thousand. The report CT
the loss Of these towns above can not
yet be confirmed.

Camp aign Lies,

There is something always queer
obout lies and lying. There is moth
ing man will sooner knock you
down for than for calling him liar.
Burglars and highwaymcn will not
stand it. Only professional liars are
proudotthe achievement, and thevarc
fow. And now the editor of The
Popular Science Monthly wonders
why we have such tolerance for one
specific style and form of lying-tlle
campaign lie. Why dopedple prom
inent as gentlemen, religious and
of high social standing, defend. help
on and disseminate a lie, intended to
bring the opposing party to confus-
ion unjustly? He fails to find the
cause, but he lclicvcs the remedy is
a bias of education toward science
n love of facts and truth. The fact
is. in all contests, the subtle and de-
ceitful it brought to the front. 1t
is difficult to fight on honor. Pugi-
lism, according to the Marquis of
Quecnsbcrry rules. is easier than
politics according to thegolden rule.
We have too much of it to keep
