SOME OF THE HEROES

Who Did Good Work at Tttusvnle-Lives
,s'h dr Saved. III
'TIrusv111E, Pa, June Now that
the excitement hos abated and people
are beginning to collect their thoughts,
scenes and incidents which occurred
during the time Of trial are coming to
ithe surface. Heroes developed them
selves early in the fight for life. Prom
inent among them was Arthur Windsor,
college athlete, whose training stood
him in good stead.
While the water was rushing along,
bearing on its surface the burning oil,
Windsor started out to save lives. Secur-
ing large rope he entered the water on
Washington street, slowly forded his
way along, trying the rope at various
points until he reached Mechanic street,
where whole blocks OF burning DWELL
ings we're occupied by the poorer
classes. He secured the rope about q
tree which stood at the intersection OF
these thoroughfares and then began
working his way up Mechanic street,
shouting words OF encouragement as he
proceeded. He succeeded in making
his way for two blocks, when the end
Of the rope was reached, as he went
along trying it wherever he could.
People in the houses he had passed
then ventured out and were aided to
the rope by Jack Mclaughlin, an oil
we'll driller, who was following along.
He aided them to reach the rope and
between the two numberless lives were
saved 7 :.
When it is considered that during all
the time buildings on both sides OF the
street were burning with almost intoler-
able ferconess, the waters were rushing
down with almost resistless force. With
burning oil and timber all about 1t, it
was almosta miracle that these men
were enabled to thread their way and
finally emerge in safety.
Another man who arose to the occa-
sion was Charles Carson. He lived on
I Mechanic street, near Washington. His
dwelling was surrounded by fire and
|, water, and it seemed certain he would
not be able to get out alive. He crawled
out the window OF the upper story, as
,csnded to the roof and held on by the
aid Of the chimney. Attempts were
mado to rescue him, but putting self to
one side, he shouted back to his would
be rescuers to save the women and
children who were still in dwellings or
struggling in the water above. Tho
crowd thought no was unable to under
stand what was being said, but at every
attempt made to get him, he warned
them of, and insisted on them caring
for others. he was finally prevailed on
to como down from his pefilous perch.
PAS soon as he reached the water he OBJ
served Mrs. Houtaling struggling in the
water and assisted her TO place Of
safety.

OIL REGION DISASTER.
Work Of Searching for Dead In
Devastated Districts.
IMMEDIATE NTERMENT OF BODIES
ordered as Health Precaution.
Many sad Scenes occur at the Bur-
ial of tho Victims at OIL City and
ritusvIlle...some of tho Deeds of
Heroism.


Tfrusvr11E, Pa, June There was
report about s o'clock this morning
that five additional bodies had been re-
covered from the burnt district at
Mechanic and Washington streets. In
yestigation, however, proved that it
was only fumor A large force Of
gworkmen are employed in this section,
and the probabilities are that they will
come across the charred remains OF sew
eral more. Just as fast as the work can
be done the remnants Of tanks, dwell
ings and shops are being removed. The
land where the property and lives were
destroyed is low, and the men expert
ence comparatively little trouble in do
ing the work assigned them.
|; Tho coroner's jury this morning
made trip over the ground where the
lives were lost, picking up information
which may be OF service to them when
they come to examine into this calan-
ity. The men on the jury arc among
the best citizens here, and are thor
oughly familiar with both the property
and the people who were lost. They
are convinced that the disaster could
not be averted, and thatit was the hand
of Providence that smote the town, but
nevertheless they intend making q
thorough examination.
ACTION OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH.
/ The Board of Health has taken the
matter Of interment in hand and
passed the following resolutions:
aui Rsolted, That, inview Of the dangers
to the,public health that may arise from
delayed interment Of the dead In the
recent calamity, it is ordered that all
bodies ready for burial be inferred on,
Tuesday, June Z, and that the remain
der be inferred on the following day.,
Resolred, That all bodies found after
this date shall be buried within twenty
four hours after discovery.
Rsoired, Further, that the health
officer OF the board be and is hereby in
structed to see that this order is carried
out.
A visit to the various undertaking es-
Establishments this morning failed to
elicit any information as to the number
to be buried to-day. They one and all
declared that they had received NO di-
rect instructions from the committee
that has the matter in charge. From
the condition OF several OF the bodies 1t
is presumed that 25 or 80 will be inter
red this afternoon.
The bodies of Fred Reide, his wife
and two children were buried in Wood
lawn cemetery this morning. the funer-
al being witnessed by large concourse.
The total amount Of money subscrih-
ed up to a late hour last night was SILL

NO DAMAGE IN TOWN.

AHeavy Rain aud some Hailland Light
nlnE-BuIldInga struck ut Martins Fer
ry-Down the River.
1t has rained every day SO far this
month. Yesterday the rain did not
come up to the premonitory symptoms,
but at the same time it was a pretty
good rain. There were several showers,
before and about noon, and shortly af-
ter a heavy rain, accompanied by lit
tie hail, fell. At some points there was
severe hail storm, the section along
the river near Parkersburg catching it
especially severely.
Just above Belmont station, on the
Ohio River Railroad, two largeoil tanks
were struck by lightning, and the oil
set on fire. When the up train passed
the place a terrible fro was raging, the
heat being plainly felt by passengers in
the cars.
In this city the heaviest rain was in
the afternoon. a little after 5 o'clock
the sky darkened ominously, and there
was every promise OF terrific storm,
the appearance being more threatening
than seen here for long time but the
worst storm blew over, and the only
outcome Of the threatening sky hero
was an exceedingly heavy rain a little
after o'clock.
The storm seemed much more severe
up the creek valley. The sky was
bright with lightning almost constantly
for an hour to the east. in Wheeling
there was not much lightning. One
stroke split a tree on tho odd fair
ground, and made a flash and report
which TOR an instant made nearly every
inhabitant OF Tie town think the light
ming had hit him.
No damage could be heard Of east OF
the city and tho storm may have been
east Of the state line, but ii SO it was
awful, for the thunder was yeey loud
here.
Tho storm did some damage in Mar.
tins Ferry. The Belmont brewery and
the Northwood glass works were both
struck by lightning, but thesdamage
was trifling. A tree at the corner OF
Second and Locust streets was shat
tered. A largo number OF telephone
wires were burned out. fni

A TERRIBLE STORM
Must have Ragged up the Greek last
Evening Early.
SEVERAL WILD RUMORS CURRENT
In the City Last Evening, but Moth
ing Definite to be Learned The Main
Street Bridge is Closed by the Pc.
lice as safoguard.-House Struck
by Lightning.

It became evident late last night that
the rain up Wheeling Creek vas sonie-.
thing awful. The creek began to swell
about nine o'clock. The banks were
already tull from back water from tho
river, and when the creek began to
boom out almost as bad as after the
famous cloudbursts which carried away
the B. & o. bridge and the Main street
bridge, there seemed to be occasion for
alarm. az
Chief Of Police McEichol caused
ropes to be stretched across both ends
Of the old temporary wooden bridge at
Main street and placed guaf,ls there to
prevent people from going upon the
bridge. =,
Tho drift was packed against the pill.
ing under the new stone bridge ana
reached clear up the creek hall wayto
Market street. While littlauf the bur
den rested against the supports OF the
wooden bridge, il the field ofTwood and
debris had been let loose shadenly II
would certainly have endangered
the old structure.
Electric cars wore lined up above the
bridge until it became apparent that y
was not safe to cross, when they backed
up to Fourteenth street. ran around the
loop md backed down Mafket. street to
the sheds.
A large crowd gathered both at tho
Main and Market street bridges, watch
ing the water run out. From nine 70
eleven o'clock the creek had raised At
least two feet
All efforts to communicate, with the
country east OF the city were in vain.
Telephone wires were down Rumors
OF the most exciting character reached
the city, but none OF them could BIZ
verified. There was a story alloat that
the water was in the Inarnlarf' yard ~
Elm Grove, but this was cOnclusivels
disproven by the stage OF water here
and the way it ran out. Seemingly the
storm was pretty !ar out, and it seemed
us if the bulk OF the water had not
reached here at midnight. 4
A house near Elm Grove, belonging
TO Charles Sclrader, a street-car conduc5
tor, was struck by lightning. One side
Of the house was torn out, and tue ten
ant, though slightly stunned by the
shock, came to Wheeling and told his
landlord he would have to fix the house
None OF the family was hurt q
In the drift coming down the creek
were fences, chicken coops, small
bridges, pieces OF houses and barns.
Evidently much damage was done. At
Elm Grove the telegraph operator said
there was no harm done, but the creek
was much swollen, and at West Alexan.
dor the report was that there was no
storm to speak Of. This would indl-
cate that the worst of the storm was
beyond Elm Grove and to the south.
The storm cloud which burst over
that section was the one that passed
over Wheeling. 1t had the typical in
verted funnel shape, like water spout
upside down.

At least forty kilograms are here al
