DesOlato Cities.

OIL CITY, Pa, June 6.-Eighteen
miles OF death and desolation is the
story in brief of the awful catastrophe
which has decimated the borders of Oil
creek from Titusville to this point. To.
day the fire has burned itself out, and
the burning oil has passed away. The
creek and river is, however, rising, and
much of this place will still further be
Hooded. But there is little left along
the Oil creek which the flood can dam
age.
AT noon sixty-three bodies had been
found OF which thirtyeight had been
identified. They are lying in the city
nall and temporary morgue on tho
South side. The scene is almost too
much for endurance. Many of the VIC
inns are burned out of all semblance to
human bodies, in positions showing the
terrible agony before death came,
From various estimates it is safe to say
the loss in this city alone will reach
200. Many have been swept away and
will never be found. When the flood
! subsidies it will reveal scores of bodies,
AT one point alone ten are known to
have given in to the burning flood.
None of them have been found.
The financial loss to this place is hard
to estimate at present, but it will be
over 81, 100000. Most of the houses de-
stroyed were owned by the occupants
and were worth from 81 1000 to $1,000.
There were between $50 and 800 houses
destroyed. besides the various hotels,
works and manufactures. Over 800
homeless people are being taken care
OF and the Presbyterian church is be.
ing used as a temporary house.
JOHN G: LoEwE and two sons, aged
eight and ten years, were drowned at
the Silver Creek dam near Milwau-
kee, the 9Th. They started out in
small boat on fishing trip There
was strong current in the river and
before either was aware of the danger
Loewe lost control of the boat The
party was swept over the falls and
father and sons persisted.
IT appears that there are enough
congressman left in Washington to
transact business. On the 9Th Mr.,
Hatch moved to suspend the rules and
pass the anti-option bill. The bill was
read by the clerk, and was ordered to a
second reading-yeas 1856, nays II. Mr..
Hatch explained the bill and said the
committee on agriculture asked the
passage of the bill under a suspension
OF the rules. The bill was passed-15e
to 46. The house also passed bills
admitting New Mexico and Arizona In.
& to the Union. =.z III, +.s=. s. 5sg

A very novel case was heard before
Magistrate Richardson at Marshallton
last night. About two weeks ago some
trouble arose in stanton because
Dickcy d Chambers creamery was
operated ON Sunday for about two hours
in the morning, separating the cream
from the milk brought there by the
farmers
The minister and some Of his parish
toner's determined TO stop it by appli-
cation of the Connecticut Sunday
blue laws. They took the mat
ter before Magistrate Richardson
several days ago and the case was set for
trial last night
a large number of farmers appeared in
behalf of the creamery They gave it as
their opinion that Sunday run
ming was absolutely necessary
They held that two men. working
IN the ecrcamery for two hours with the aid
of little steam, could take the work Oft
the hands of thirty or forty farmers
wives. This work would take them
nearly all the day, slCimming the
milk and washing the pals. Now with
the creamery running the farmers can

said they simply thought II their duty
