INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, June 4.-The
floods which have prevailed in this To-
cality for three days began to subside
early Thursday morning, and the wa
tiers along the streams have found their
way into: the channels, leaving the sub
merged houses filed with mud inches
deep. When the occupants returned they
found every thing ruined, the beds car
pets and chairs covered with a thi k
coating of mud, the gravel streets en-
tirely washed out and the brick pave
ments undermined and worthless until
relaid. The damage to the additions to
the city alone is reckoned at not less
than S1OO 600

LATER NEWS.
Desolate Cities.

OH. CITY, Pa, June 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
flooded. 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 thirty-eight had been
identified. They are lying in the, city
hall and a. temporary. morgne on the
South side. The scene is almost too
much for endurance. Many of the vic
Tins 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 saw
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 $1,000 to S., 900.
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.

Printers Very Strongly Condemn the Action
of the L. & O. League.
Public sentiment has not died out against
the L. g. o. League in its enforcement of
the Blue Laws The laboring men are still
awake, and Yesterday the Printers Assem-
bly, 1880, X. of L., adopted the following
set of resolutions:
WHEREAS, There are many laws on the
statute books of Pennsylvania, notably the
conspiracy and Blue Laws. which initiate
against the rights and liberties OF the labor
ing class, and
Whereas, An association styled the Law
and Order League, mainly compo;ed OF dis
reputable persons, not citizens of the United
States, has taken it on itself to enforce the
obnoxious Blue Laws of 1874 to the detriment
of workingmen and their families, in an at
tempt to deprive them of their Sunday
papers, thus denying them the only means
they have to educate themselves; therefore,
be it
Resolved, That Printers Assembly 1880,
X of L., hereby empha.ically denounces1the
conspiracy and Blue Laws as blots upon the
statute books OF the State, and insists upon
the repeal of laws which permit foreigners
to levy blackmail upon American citizens
and allow capital to grind down working
men through the medium of the courts; and
further, be it
Resolved, That we call upon all citizens
who have the interest of labor at heart and
also on all workingmen, to cast their ballots
for only those candidates for the Legislature
who will pledge themselves to vote for the
repeal of the conspiracy and Blue Laws and
ali other acts on the statute books of Penn
sylvania which are to the detriment of
labor and the benefit of capital.
A special from Braddock says that the
Law and Order spies were pursuing their
calling there yesterday, while the street
railway, of which the society attorney is
President, was running in full operation.
Some arrests are expected.

The Disciple of Divine Healing Presents a
New Phase of the Liquor Question.
Rev. DR.. John Alexander Dowie, the ad-
vocate of faith healing, began his second
series Of talks in Pittsburg, at Old City Hall,
yesterday afternoon. He did not have a
large audience to address, only about one
third of the seats being filed. The doctor,
however, took this as q pointer on which to
urge his followers to bring others to his
lectures. The services yesterday were much
like previous ones. At the opening the
doctor read about dozen letters from as
many people, in various parts of the coun-
try, suffering from diseases of almost every
character He then prayed that they all
might be healed of their ills After some
singing he began his address. During 1t he
touched on the temperance subject.
II am as much of temperance man as
ANYBODY" said he, "but the abolition of the
manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors
would, in my opinion, do this country no
good. The liquor traffic is a fearful thing,
vet the fact remains that those countries in
which no intoxicants are used are the worst
in the world. The Mohammedan never
tastes liquor. His religion teaches him
that to do so means that he is lost The
Mohammedan is total abstainer, but he is
the farthest from civilization and the most
brutal and degraded creature on earth. 1t
is plainly manifest fact that in whatever
nations the liquor traffic is not allowed the
condition of woman is that of slave. The
abolition of liquor in the United States
would result disastrously to the morals OF
the country"

Schiller Tried to Hang himself.

George Schiller, the old man who stabbed
his son-in-law, al their home on Spring
Garden avenue, Saturday night, attempted
to commit suicide twice yesterday afternoon
at the Allegheny lookup. The first attempt
was by tying a piece of heavy cord about
his throat and fastening an end to rafter.
He then jumped from the seat. A man who
was in the cell with him cut the cord before
he had chance TO strangle. Shortly after
Schiller began to beat his head against the
wall In this he wss checked by the turn
key. The latter told the old man that if he
would consent to live he would be let out in
the morning. This had the effect of quiet
ing him, and he made no further endeavor
to commit suicide. The son-in-law, Henry
Schiller, was resting easy at the Allegheny
General Hospital last night, and 1t is ex-
pected that he will recover

Southern People Want 81, 100000 From
Uncle sam This Year to Help Them.
Delegations from Ohio, Indiana, Ken
lucky and Tennessee, will appear before
the River and Harbor Committee to-mor-
row in behalf of the Cumberland river
canal. Among those who passed through
the city last evening bound for WASH
ington were Senator NJ. P. Bryan,
Speaker of the Tennessee Senate;
Allen G. Hall, Speaker of the
House, ex-Congressman A. S. Colyar and
George II. ;Armistead, Secretary of the
Cumberland River Improvement Associa-
tion. They were armed with memorials
from the four States mentioned which will
be presented TO the committee. The object
is to slack-water the Cumberland river with
dams from the Ohio to its source. Mr..
Armistead said that about 100000 had
already been expended, and the
resident engineer with the Endorsement Of
Secretary Tracy had recommended an ap-
preparation of $1,000, 900 this year. The
entire work will cost Sc, 200, 900. The gen.
tlemen were going to Washington to urge
the appropriation of the money recon-
mended for this year.
Mr.. Armistead said the commerce
along the river justiies the e1-
penditure of the money. The stream
runs through country rich
in timber, coal, iron and agricultural re-
sources. Indirectly it will benefit Pitts
burg. Mr.. Armistead claims there is more
coal in the area traversed by the Cumber
land than in Great Britain.
Turning to the subject of politics, Speaker
Allen SAID they were all for Cleveland in
Tennessee, Mr. Armistead stated that he
didn't believe Hill could control
the delegations in any of the
Southern States unless Speaker Crisp
will be able to push Georgia into line for
him-Gorman's name is not mentioned.
Hill is a strong factor in the South, but the
people haven't confidence in his ability to
pull through. They think he can carry
New York, but they don't believe Indiana
will support him. The Southern press in
the main is for Cleveland.

KILLED BY JAMAICA GINGER
A Prohibition Drink Used With Fatal Re-
suits at Sharpsburg.

suits at Sharpsburg.
Coroner Mcdowell yesterday held an in
quest on the body of Barbra T. Probst, of
Sharpsburg, who died on Saturday night
and who it was supposed had committed
suicide. The testimony developed that
death was caused by the constant use of
Jamaica ginger The husbands testi-
mony was that on going home at supper
time his wife complained of being sick, and
few minutes later she dropped over in his
arms. DR.. n. Graham was sent for and he
diagnosed the case as one of poisoning. He
administered antidotes, but they had no
effect and the woman fingered until IL
o'clock when she died. A post mortem was
held yesterday by Drs. Graham and G. r.
B. Robinson. They found that the stomach
of the deceased was literally baked up
from the effects of some strong drug,
which proved to have been Jamaica ginger.
1t was shown that she had been addicted to
the use of stimulants, and Tor some time had
been drinking Jamaica ginger copiously
in the absence of other liquor. The jury re-
turned a verdict that death had been caused
by shock and nervous exhaustion due to
the excessive and continued use of Jamaica
ginger and other stimulants, and recon-
mended that the authorities take steps to
stop the indiscriminate sale of impure
patent medicines of that character. The de-
ceased was 30 years old and the mother of
six children.

West End. He is William d. Ritter. and
was arrested Saturday night by Officer
Miller About 10 o'clock two children
come running to the officer and stated that a
man was proving around several houses

WHY GAS Is SCARCE.
Heavy Regulators Have Shut OFF the Sup

Heavy Regulators Have Shut Of the sup
ply When the Pressure Was Low.
j. r. Mckinley went to Chicago last
evening on the limited TO look after the sale
of some real estate in which he is interested.
This winter Mr.. Mckinley has been manag-
ing the Allegheny Heating Company,
which supplies the Northside, and he says
that up to date they have had no
complaint. The Philadelphia Company
furnishes the gas. When asked why gas is
scarce in Pittsburg on cold days, he said:
"Well, the truth is the pressure is low and
the demand has been enormous. The gas
never failed in the East End before this
winter The supply for that section cSmes
mainly from the Murraysville .btld, and
the big wells in that t.rritory are
PLAYED out There is still Gas in the Muir
raysville field, but the wells are small and
the pressure low. Another trouble has been
that the regulatory put in fire places have
been keyed upto high pressure, and when
the quantity of gas was not there they fell
back and. impeded the flow of what was on
hand. + The regulators are being
changed in the East End for ones
OF lower pressure, but II IS
impossible to correct from %, 600 to 81, O,0oo OF
them in a short time. When different reg
ulators are put in there won't be any
trouble from this source.
'sIf the Philadelphia Company could
have foreseen in July what they know now
they would have had plenty of gas. A num-
ber of wells have been struck by
oil men in the Washington and Nc
Donald fields, and in time all our gas
will be piped from Washington county A
well with a pressure of 600 pounds was re-
Gently brought in in the country back of
Sharpsburg j. M Guffy has struck sew
eral gas wells where he expected oil Next
summer the company will be able to pipe
up these new fields. 1 still have faith in
the gas supply, and think there will be
plenty for domestic purposes for years to
come" ("

at the Union depot last evening. She was
about to get into a carriage in front of the

ever, the lady got in and the door was
closed. Then the scared animals broke
away and ran under the railway shed. The

and one of the cars struck the carriage and
almost knocked it over. BY this time the
lady inside had jumped out and the horses
were caught.

reported that they had held conference
with local people about the license ques-
tion. This report also was denied.
