They were also encouraged by a report

steadily denied that the president could

sentating the Red Cross society. came
with the governor. The party first in
spected the ruins and then met a citizens
committee, members of the local relief
corps. The governors particular inquiry
was with reference to sanitary arrange
ments. There is n great fear that the de-
caying bodies yet in the debris will cause
a pestilence. Mr.. Blankenberg then de-
clared himself ready to sign two drafts of
5000 each for Oil City and Titusville.
The drafts were signed and he was warm
ly thanked. a committee of three will
meet Mr.. Blankenberg in Oil City today
to arrange as to how the money will be
applied.
Arrangements for Relief.
j. J. Vandergrift. John Eaton and
George Herd came to Titusville from Oil
City yesterday and met the relief com nit
tee here. 1t was agreed that half of the
territory between the two cities above Oil
creek be taken by each and the flood and
fire sufferers cared for. For this purpose
it was decided that 100000 was necessary
to provide for the immediate wants of the
sufferers in the Titusville district, and an
equal amount was necessary for the Oil
City district. Three hundred people in
three acres of the burned district in Titus
vile are homeless and dependent. The
Standard Oil company yesterday contrib
uted S25, 900 to Ttiusville and Oil City.
Makikg Clothes for the Destitute.
At the city hall yesterday 100 noble
women gave their services to making the
sufferers comfortable as possible. Busy
fingers and humming sewing machines
were supplying with all possible speed the
badly needed clothing. A hundred fami-
lies lest all their possessions. Rooms have
been provided for large number, but the
demand exceeds the supply. A number of
families have been provided for at the
armory on Pine street. The upper story
of this building is used for hospital.
Two More Bodies Recovered.
Two bodies were recovered yesterday
and were identified as Mrs. John Linner
and Mrs. Johanna Canty. This swells

WASHINGTON, June 8. - EX-Secretary
Blaine took his departure for Boston at
3:l5 yesterday afternoon He departed
quietly, and there was no demonstration
of any kind attending his leaving the city
where he has for the past three years di.
vided public attention with the president.
Blaine was very busy all day attending
to correspondence, answering kilograms
and preparing for his departure. He re-
ceived only few intimate friends, though
number of people called. At O'Clock
most of the officials of the state depart
ment called and bade their former chief
goodbye. His carriage was at the door of
his residence ten minutes before 8 o'clock
and few minutes later Blaine appeared.
He waited on the sidewalk some time,
walking to and fro. He seemed a trihe
nervous, and showed the effects of the ex.
citement he had undergone during the
past few days.
The Ladies Were Tardy.
He was out on the sidewalk several
minutes before the rest of his party were
really, and in that time a crowd of fifteen
or twenty congregated and watched the
ex-secretary from the opposite side of the
street. When the carriage started there
were seated in it ex-Secretary Blaine, Mrs
Blaine, Miss Dodge Gail Hamilton). and
James G.. Blaine, Jr. The party drove
direct to the Pennsylvania station and
took possession of private car. There
We're no officials present to bid him good

While waiting for the train to start the
ex-secretary sat by window of the car
and glanced for moment at a news
paper and then walked about the rear of
the car. Young Jim" Blaine left the car
as it pulled out of the station. AS it was
moving off the eX-secretary's tall form
appeared in the rear doorway of the car,
and he doffed his hat to the trainmen on
both sides of the track. who returned the
salute. Turning to the newspaper corre-
spondents he waved his hat several times,
which was acknowledged by a general
waving of hats.

TITUsvILLE, Pa, June S.-As in the case
of Johnstown, a fish dam was one of the
chief canses of the awful calamity here.
1t was a famous fishing ground, well
stocked with bass, and resort for sports
men from Cory, Erie, Titusville and
western New York. Heavy wire netting
with small meshes had been put over the
water weirs to prevent the bass from
escaping, and this, more than anything
else, caused the increased body of water to
give way with the rising flood, for the
drift-wood caught on the wire, clogging it
so that the water was backed up sufficient
ly to tear away a new course at the side of
the real dam, which dam remains.
Description of the Dam.
Spartansburg dam was built by Eldred
& Thompson originally to furnish power
for their grist mill. 1t is greater in extent
than the South Fork dam. At the breast
the real dam is scarcely over 100 feet wide.
This part was built on the net plan, but
on the sides was after the style of the dam
at South Fork. 1t was above the net dam
and over the water weirs that the netting
was stretched. This caught the drift and
forced the water back until it overflowed
the dry ends, which then melted like so
much snow. The residents there declare
that when it broke the water was six feet
above the real dam.
The Water Goes Roaring Down.
AT II o'clock Saturday night it could
be seen eating away the walls at the side
of the fiume. The water was then over
twenty feet deep all over the area, while
below tho creek was full to the banks.
Then the crash came. The booms let go
and the hundreds of thousands of logs
washed down against the trestle of the
New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio road.
About l1:30 all the water had gone, and
could be heard tearing away tie banks in
its course to Titusville. On the west bank
of Oil creek, as well rs ON Shirley creek,
everything gave way, and the united
forces of all these streams poured down on
Titusville.
Carried on Eight Bridges.
On the way it carried off eight bridges
over Oil creek. Rocks were torn from the
hillsides and carried down the rushing
waters with terrible force and momentum.
The damage at Spartansburg. where the
dam broke, is estimated at $4,000. The
rush of waters carried away Lambs dam
and woolen works below and badly
damaged Kern's mill Then the Goodrich
dam broke and with its 100000 feet of tim
Der was swept away. The loss in the Oil
creek valley from bridges carried off will
be at least $4,000. Word comes that at
Union City, on French creek, there is S15,-
600 damage
Rock Island daily Argus., 1892-06-08

patient crowd OF Interested delegates cool
ing their heels in the corridors until 1890
last night and then adjourned until today
without doing thing. The adjournment
was necessary because the national COM
mittee had failed to prepare important pa
pers for the credentials committee. The
Blaine policy is alleged to be one of delay,
and the adjournment is claimed to be part
of the policy. 1t is also said that the
Blaine men have captured the committee,
which is probable, as Wisconsin with a
majority for Harrison in its delegation
permitted Payne to put a Blaine man on
that committee
What "A Western Member Says.
A far western member of the committee
on credentials said last evening before the
committee went into session that it had II
lot of work before it and proposed to take
Its time and do it carefully and thorough
ly. He also expressed the opinion that it
was question whether itS reports would
be made until Thursday, and possibly not
before Friday. This would necessarily de
fer the permanent organization of the con
vention to the end of the week, in which
event the final ballot could not very wei
be reached until Monday, precisely rs wa
the case in Chicago four years ago.
Depends on the Cred dentiaIs.
A TACT that came out during the evening
was that the convention in adopting rule
had put 1t into the power Of the creden
tials committee to delay matters to it,
own notion. The rules are the same a
those of 1884 and 1855, and provide that tn
credentials committee report must first br
disposed of, then the resolutions and afte
that the nominations.

THE DEBRIS AT OIL CITY.
Many Bodies Expected To Be Found
Hereunder


Hereunder
OIL CITY. Pa, June S-The work of
clearing away the wrecked houses and the
debris which covers the larger part of the
Third ward of Oil City, and under which
the lifeless bodies of an unknown number
of victims of the disaster are lying, was
begun in earnest yesterday. Several
days will b. required in completing this
task. Only three boobies were found
yesterday. Three or four of the injured
died. Mayor Hunt feels certain that the
list of dead will number at least 100.
Forty-two of the bodies recovered have
been fully identified. The morgues are
almost cleared of the CHASTITY forms dis
covered among the ruins. Governor Pat
tison paid the city a visit yesterday and
showed deep interest in its misfortune.

1t was Ben Johnson, we be-
lieve, who, when asked NAL
locks question, is life worth

pends on the A0er." And Ben
Johnson doubtless saw the
double point to the pun.
The liver active-quick-
life rosy, everything bright,
mountains of trouble melt like
mountains of snow.
The liver sluggish-life dull,
everything blue, molehills of
worry rise into mountains of
anxiety, and as a result-sick
headache, dizziness, constipa-
ton.
Two ways are open. Cure
permanently, or relieve tenn.
porarily. Take a pill and suf-
fer, or take pill and get well.
Shock the system by an over
dose, or coax it by a mild,
pleasant way.

chat many of these will have to be sup.
ported for at least six months. The mem
bers of the committee gave as their opin-
ion that $500, 600 will be wanted and that
cash subscriptions will be the most well
come. In pile of debris on the west side
of Seneca street, near the banks of Oil
creek, skiff was found yesterday. It. be-
longed to Willis Stewart. With it he had
saved the lives of ia people and perished
himself His body has not yet been
found.
Two More Victims Die.
Myra Hawks, aged Is, died at o'clock
yesterday morning. Johnny Bruenson,
aged 5, died at the hospital at O'Clock.
This swells the list of dead in Oil city to
forty-one. There are yet Is missing who
are doubtless. There are elven patients
in the Oil city hospital who were injured
Sunday. Two are expected to die-John
Roach and Mary Brunsel. So many have
taken to houses of friends and relatives
that it is very difficult to make complete
list of them.
Another Cause of Excitement.

Thurston and Horr Arouse the Enthusi-
asm of the Veterans.
Twelve thousand persons met in con.
vention hall last night in a mass meeting
organized by the Union Veteran league
John NJ. Thurston was the principal
speaker. A feature of the evening was 8
Harrison demonstration, when some one
called for three cheers for Harrison which
were given with a roar. An attempt at o
Blaine cheer was not a success. There
were number of campaign songs sung.
Thurston was not afraid that any bitter
ness would remain after the convention,
no matter how much excitement there
was during its sessions.
Defended the Force ISill.
He lauded protective tariff, but in par
ticular defended the 'force" bill, and said
the barricades of oppression We're never
carried except by force. Roswell G. Horr
said he had just come from Oregon, which
had given the country a Republican vic
tory. He had also been lucky enough to
help Cleveland carry Rhode Island for the
Republicans. Both speeches were wildly
cheered.
