JOHNSTOWN FLOODED.
Much Damage Done Along the Gone.
maugh Valley.

The Conemaugh valley is again under water,
but no lives have been lost as yet and there is
little danger that any will be lost, but the
damage to property is already great and the
residents of the valley remembering the ex-
perience OF May 81, are terror stricken and fear
the worst. The food is the result of heavy
rains Of the past few days. Wilmore, town
twelve miles from Johnstown, is entirely inun-
dated. The water there is four feet deep and
Is rising. Woodvale is partly under water and
Rosenstein's tannery, one of the largest in the
state, is partly destroyed. The water is run
ming all over the lower part Of the city and is
rising rapidly.
The Western Union telegraph Office is sur
rounded. The water is five feet deep In Iron
street at the famous stone bridge. The Cam
bria iron works were entirely flooded early last
evening and the Gautier works are partly under
water. Both the Cambria and Woodvale bridges
are gone. The st. Clair reservoir. above Nor
rellville, will likely overflow. If this occurs
great damage will result. As it is many OF the
families who were driven from their homes
when the South Fork dam burst are again
forced to seek shelter from neighbors on higher
ground. The body of victim of the great
food was found at Ninevah yesterday.

Ofice-The p. MS Son Crippled.

The Post Office Department has received the
particulars of the attempt recently made to
prevent James Finn, the postmaster at Elm

the duties of his office. Seven of the twelve
men suspected of completely in this affair we're
arrested and three were held for the action of
the grand jury, the others being released for
lack OF evidence. 1t appears that it a COM
mon occurrence for many as fifteen or
twenty armed men to attack the post Office at
night and pour volley after volley into the
building. The postmaster's son was crippled
for life by one of these shots. 1t ID stated that
Mr.. Finn was short time ago appointed post
master and that he is about the only republican
there. He served on the federal side in the
late war and voted for Harrison. After the
election he raised national flag. which was
cut down from the staff his house and torn
to pieces. When he received the appointment
he was in receipt of threatening letters and the
recent assault on the Office was the result of
the feeling against him. The Post Office De-

made he has been undlsturbed

ICAN ARBITRATION.
Important Report Of the Committee Oh
General Welfare.

II the various governments represented in
the International American confer renee only
indorse the report of the committee on general
welfare there will be a business pr omoting
harmony in South and Central America that
these regions have, up to the present time,
been wholly unacquainted with. The commit
tee recommends the negotiation Of a gen eral
treaty by the republics of North, South and
Central America and Hayti to refer all dis
putes, differences and contentious that may
arise between any two Of the nations to arbi-
tration for settlement Arbitration shall be
compulsory upon all the nations in matters of
diplomatic etiquette. territories, boundaries,
questions of navigation, the enforcement. con-
struction or validity of treaties, and in other
matters arising from any cause whatever The
only exception Is in case nation believes its
independence Is at stake then arbitration shall
not be compulsory.
HOW THE ARBITRAToRs SHALL BE APPOINTED
The report sets forth in detail the manner in
which arbitrator shall be selected and the
manner of reaching and declaring their judg-
ments. There is no restriction OF choice of
arbitrators-the may be nations scientific
societies, officials or private citizens. Unless
1t is specifically agreed before hand that unani-
nous judgment shall be required, a majority
of the arbitrators shall decide the question at
issue. Where the arbitrator consist of an
even HuHlDeI, edCH natiOn may appoint an UNI
pire. Any nation deeming itself Interested in
or affected by the decision of any question may
appoint an arbitrator in the case.
RATIFICATIoNs OF THE TREATY.
1t is provided that notifications Of the treaty
shall be exchanged at Washington and it shall
be IN force twenty years from the date Of its
proclamation. After that term has expired the
treaty shall remain in force until one year after
any nation has notified all the other nations
party thereto OF its desire to withdraw; but the
withdrawal of any nation shall not relieve the
other nations of their duties under the agree
ment.
The recommendations are introduced by a
preamble reciting the belief of the delegates
that war Is cruel. unnecessary and Ineffective
method of settling international Disputes; that
the educated sentiment of humanity approves
the choice of arbitration as the best method of
reaching a satisfactory settlement of differ
ences, and that the meeting of this Pan-A
can conference demonstrates that the people of
the western hemisphere are willing and ready
to enforce among themselves the principle of
arbitration.
Tomorrow the officers of the Women's Silk
Culture Association of Philadelphia will pre-
sent to each foreign delegation attached to the
conference large flag of the United States
made of native silk gift to their respective
governments.
THE CONFERENCE DRAWING TO A CLOSE.
The conference will probably adjourn on
Wednesday next. Reports from the committees
on banking and port dues were presented yes
terday and they will be considered imme-
diateiy.

A MURDERER in A CAVE.
Whitfield Murrel, Who Escaped from
Prison, Captured Under House.

Whitefeld Murrel of the Edgefeld murders,
who, after having been tried, convicted and
sentenced to death, escaped Jail, was captured
yesterday. Murrel and his friend Car
penter, both white men, while drunk,
several months ago shot and killed Preston B.
YOUNG, who greeted them with a pleasant
good evening on the highway. The sheriff
had considerable trouble to catch Carpenter
and Murrel, who took to the swamps after tho
murder. The court quickly tried both
men and sentenced them to hang last January,
but before that time, through some unknown
assistance. they managed to escape from jail
Since then the authorities have spent con-
siderable money in trying to catch him.
The people of Edgefield have believed that
Carpenter and Murrel were in the county and
had never left. Last night a posse was
organized. and yesterday morning Murrel was
arrested under his fathers dwelling in a cave
The posse is now after Carpenter, who is
thought to be in the loft of his fathers house.
Court will be opened at once to resentence
Murrel to death.
