people who take Hoods Sarsaparilla. When
used according to directions the good effects
of this excellent medicine are soon felt in
nerve strength restored, that tired feeling
driven off, good appetite created, headache
and dyspepsia relieved, scrofula cured and
all the bad effects of impure blood overcome.
For good blood purifier, take Hoods Sarsa-
parilla.

In moment the air was filled with
flying debris, and the cry was raised
that the Congregational Church was IN
ruins and hundreds of children buried
in the ruins. The children of the city
were rehearsing for the children's day
at the Congregational Church, and that
edifice was packed. But two minutes
before the cyclone struck the building
about 800 of the smaller children had
gone home, The church was dashed
down in one mass of ruins, burying
about sixty children, together with the
pastor of the church and several teach
ers. Many of the children who were
leaving were hurt by flying timbers,
but SO far as known, none seriously
The fallen timbers were raised from the
ruins and it was scarcely thought that
any children would be brought out alive.
Soon all were released. The timbers,
in falling had formed an arch over the
heads Of those who were in the church.
Several Of the children are seriously in
iured, and it is feared some cannot live.

TWO HUNDRED KILLED.
appalling Result Of p tire in a Silver Mine
in Bohemia.

Appalling Re suit of p tire IN Silver Mine
in Bohemia.
PRAGUE, June IAN appalling acct
dent has occurred at the famous Birken-
berg silver mine, near PrZlbram, in Bo-
hernia, by which 200 miners lost their
lives. The bers used in supporting
the roof of the mine caught fire and the
flames spread from one part Of the
workings to another until the whole in
terror of the mine was mass OF fire.
The escape Of the men working in the
mine was cut off aukl though it is not
known how many Of them were killed it
is admitted that the list Of the dead will
be large. After long struggle the fire
was extinguished and volunteers went
down into the mine to rescue anyone
who might have lived through the
confagration. The rescuing party
found no trace of life, but they discov-
cred twelve bodies, which were sent to
the surface Five hundred men were
working in the mine at the time.
Fourteen bodies have been recovered,
and many others who We're seriously
| injured were brought to the surface.
| The work of rescue was suspended dur
| ing the night owing to the suffocating
gases with which the mine was filed.
1t was resumed at an early hour this
morning.
The latest news from the scene of the
| disaster indicates that the loss Of life is
much larger than was at first reported.
| In the previous dispatch from Przibram
it was said that ali but forty of the men
at work in the mine when the fire start
ed lad managed to reach the surface in
safety, but now, after an investigation,
it has been sound that not nearly so
many Of the miners were SO fortunate,
and it is reported that the list Of miss
ing reaches the startlingly large number
Of 200. At last accounts twenty-five
dead bodies, burned and blackened IN a
terrible manner, had been recovered
from the mine, and that twenty-five
miners were rescued on the death trap
in precarious condition, the unfortun-
ate men being shockingly burned and
crushed. 4 rumor prevails atthe mine
which finds some believers, that the fire
was of incendiary origin.

BY FIRE AND BY FLOOD.
A Terrible Disaster at Oil City and
TitusvilIe, Pa.

A Terrible Disaster at Oil City and
TitusvilIe, Pa.
PITTsBURG, Pa, June 5.-The cities of
Titusville and Oil City have been
visited during the past twenty four
hours with the most disastrous floods
and fire ever known in the history
of the oil region. Oil Creek has
overflowed its banks, at Titusville, from
the west end, above the water and gas
works, to the city below, and for hours
assumed the proportions of an
almost resistless food, reaching
almost up to the line of Spring Street.
Oil refineries are swept away, and the
oil catching fire was borne rapidly along
by the raging waters, spreading death
and disaster on all sides. Tonight it is
believed the loss of life at Titusville
alone may reach $50, and possibly more.
Fifteen dead bodies have already been
recovered.
The waters came up suddenly from
Oil Greek and flooded the whole fat as
far as Spring Street, forming lake
nearly mile in width and about two
thirds OF mile in length. A short
time later the Acme Oil refinery was
struck by lightning, and fire added ter
ror to the scene. The flames spread
rapidly, and soon the five blocks
from Perry to Drake streets, in
Guiding Washington, Franklin and Mate
streets, and from the Western New
\ ork q Pennsylvania Railway to Spring
Street, were laid in waste. A half
dozen of the largest refneries, among
them Rice q Robinson's, Schwartz
and the Acme, we're burned. The only
buildings now said to be standing in this
district are the Titusville Iron Works
and the depot of the Western New
York q Pennsylvania road. The water
( began ee:' TO recede about noon, an1 Is now
gsCCiing down rapidly.
The disaster is only surpassed by the
Johnstown flood. 1t is impossible at
this hour, midnight, to give anything
like an accurate idea Of the loss of life
and property, as chaos reigns through
out the devasted regions and terrible
confagration RACES in Oil City. 1t is
safe to say that not less than $50 lives
have been lost. Nearly 100 bodies have
been recovered. and many people are
still missing. The number may far ex-
coed $50, but this is regarded as a con-
sentative statement. The property loss
will reach far into the millions. at
Titusville the loss is estimated at 81 $780,
600; Oil City, 81 100000; Cory, $4,000;
Gl50,000, and surrounding
country probably 81 10000 more.

| The convention met at Alham bra rink.
which is a great hall. The building was
we'll crowded. Mr.. Fairchild read
the call for the convention and
made q brief address, announcing
| John D. Kernrn, of Oneida County, as
temporary chairman. Mr.. Herman made
! short speech, during which references
to Mr.. Cleveland were loudly APP
! pleuded. AT the close Of the address
| the secretary read the roll of the del
| egates for confirmation and substitu-
tons. The motion providing for a
committee on resolutions provided for
the submission Of resolutions to the
committee without debate. When the
motion for a committee on credentials
was pending delegate arose to object
that the convention would do better to
decide first whether it would send dele
gates to Chicago. The chairman, how
ever, stated that the question would 20
first to the proper committee, and thus
to the convention. Then. at l:25 P. NJ,
the convention adjourned to $3.50 P. N.
During the recess the committees met
at the various hotels to do the work ap-
propriate to each. The convention re-
assembled 81 4:15 and the Temporary
organization WIS made permanent. The
committee on resolutions sent up to
Secretary Baldwin the platform as pre-
pared and revised by the committee

adopted.
A number Of short speeches in en-
dOrsement Of the platform were made,
after which Judge Sunderlin, Of

large chosen by the committee on dele
gates to the Chicago convention. They
were: +. r. Coudert, New York; Alex.
E. Orr, Brooklyn; Charles f. Bishop,
Buffalo; Edmund Fitzgerald. Troy. The
work of the committee was approved
and thus the question Of protest
of contest has been determined and the
course Of contest and demand at Chica-
go for the seventy-tWo seats of New
York has been fixed upon. The con
yentlon was nearing the close and no
provision had as yet been made for
electors, but ex-Secretarv of the Treas
ury Fa1rchlld at this point presented
the following resolutions:
Whereas, The object Of this convention
is to correct the wrong done to the Demo-
cfdtS OF new I Ork by the convention held

The Busting Colorado Mining Camp
Wiped Out by Fire.


Wiped Out by Fire.
DENVER, Col, June 5.-The busting
camp of Jim Town, which is mile and
a half from the famous mining town of
Creole, was almost totally destroyed by
fire which started at $50 this morning.
The flames were started by an ex-
pIosion of coal oil, with which a family,
living in the Kinneavey block, were
starting a fire to prepare breakfast.
AS there is no fire department, the
flames had it all their own way and in
short time they burned through
the rows of frame buildings for
distance of a mile in the mar
! row gulcn in which the town is stu
ated. Many houses were blown up
with giant powder in an attempt to stop
the fire, but this had no effect, for the
flames jumped from one vacant place to
ANOTHER and only stopped for want Of
| material, Little if any ofeh6 contents ef
! the houses were saved, and there are
hundreds of families homeless, but
| they will be provided for by the peo-
pie of Creole. While the fire was
| in progress, the numerous saloons
were thrown open to the crowd, and
liquor was free to all who might desire
| it. The result was that many drunken
men we're on the streets, but they did
10 damage. One hundred deputy
sheriffs we're sworn in, and they will
protect the town against attempts al
thieving by persons who on occasions
of this kind take advantage of the great
distress.
The total loss is estimated at 81 600,
00O The heavlst losses are Alexander
Heitter & Co., saloon, building anc
stock, So, 1000; Shackelford & Foster
Albany Hotel Block, $1,000; Sinner &
Morse, $500; Tompkins Hardware
Company. $1,000; Willoughby q Col
ter, $1,000; Levy & Benedict Block
5000; the Hard Terrace Row, compos
ed of twenty buildings, $1,000: LAIR.
Byrne, $1,000. These are the mos
prominent loses, but there are hun
dreds of others which are smaller an(
will bring the aggregate loss up to 81,
100000, with an insurance Of abOu
S250.000. The insurance is distributes
among twenty or more companies.

oppression were not sectional. It ex-

mating conventions, are yet tendered the
