CORY, June 5.-[SpeciaL 1.-The severe
storm continued last night until IL o'clock.

here, and far exceeds the great
cloudburst of May, $780, As the water has

people being rescued from their
homes through windows. In one house three
was corpse which had to be removed to
prevent its being submerged. A careful
estimate places the loss in the city at
$4,000.
1t is hard to estimate the loss to the sur
rounding country, but it is very large. In
many places whole fields have been swept
of their crops, and there is scarcely bridge
left for miles around. The railroad COM
panies will nave trains running by to-
morrow.
The Philadelphia and Erie Railroad has
about 20 miles of tack under water caused
by the cloudburst last night. The Ridge
way train, bound for Erie, was caught be-
tween washouts near Pittsield, and for
some hours the train stood in a sea
of rushing waters, with buildings and
lumber floating by. The passengers were
finally rescued and are now in Pittsfeld.
Last evening Clark's mill dam, at Union
City, burst, and wall of water swept
through the town, CARRYING 80 houses from
their foundations, and while many per-
sons were badly hurt none lost their
lives. Deamore's three story brick
building fell demolishing frame buildings
adjoining. The Keystone block was under

were wrecked. Hundreds of horses and
cattle were drowned. The damage will
reach not less than 800, 900.
The towns of Garland, Pittsfeld, Colum-

At Pittsfeld the operator, j. f. Mead,
stood at his post and worked at his instru-
ments with the water three feet deep in the
Office and the building surrounded by
debris and a roaring food.

A DRAMATIC MEETING,

Emmons Blaine and Chauncey Depew Gre
ate Dining Room sensation-Almost
as Much Excitement as If Blaine Had
Drawn Pistol on Depew.
MINNEAPoLIs, June 5.-The meeting of
Chauncey NJ. Depew and Emmons Blaine
to-day on the field of battle was a pictur-
esque sight. The field was the big dining
room of the West Hotel, and the meeting
was witnessed by hundreds of less distin-
guished guests, scores of whom for the in
stant stopped knife, fork or coffee cup in
mid-air, scarcely breathing, as if half ex-
pecting to see young Blaine draw a revolver

As matter of fact Emmons Blaine did
not even attempt to draw pistol, but Mr..

barrassed if such a sensational move had
really been made. The famous aiter-dinner

and caught himself inquiring for the well
fare of Blame, Sr.
Tom Platt, Depew's companion in the
New York ''Big Four" had been seated at
the dining table with Emmons Blaine,
chatting at perfect ease, and seemed to
greatly enjoy the discontinue of the usually
polished and serene railway magnate.
After passing a few basty and entirely
irrelevant commonplaces, Mr.. Depew ex-
cused himself and appeared glad to drop
into a vacant chair at some distance further
on, beside Murat Halsted and out of sight

from all parts of the room.

Southern Delegates in tho Market


Delegates from several of the Southern
States seem to be in the market, Just as
they always have been before, and for this
reason there is much uncertainty as to how
they will stand on Tuesday. In Alabama,
Arkansas Florida, Georgia, Louisiana,
Mississippi and Tennessee the colored
brethren are "mighty uncertain" at conven-
tions, and their present status cannot be
relied upon for the future.
The contesting delegations from Louisi-
ana, Alabama and Mississippi are having a
very lively time. The fight in Louisiana is
especially bitter, with Governor Yarmouth
in control of the Harrison delegates and
William Pitt Kellogg of the opposition. Ex-
has been placed in general charge of the
Southern delegates in behalf of the Harri-
son managers, and Chairman Clarkson
keeps a constant watch upon him. The
Blaine leaders teel confident of securing the
bulk of the delegates in each of the States
where there are contests, as they are placing
great reliance upon their ability to tilti-
mately organize the convention to suit
themselves.
Won Over for the Present.
The efforts of the Blaine men have been
concentrated to-day in determined at
tack upon the Louisiana and South Caro-
lima delegates, and several of the
latter have been won over for
the present How long they will
stick cannot be safely predicted. The Har-
rison managers announce that they will re-
main true, but they watch them closely,
which shows that they are not so sure Of
them as they would like to be.
At midnight Mr.. Platt said things were
in statu quo as to New York, and that
Blaine had 500 votes The standing of the
California vote is in dispute, the Blaine
men claiming II to 6, though 10 to s, it is
said, is nearer correct.
The Wisconsin delegation is very much
in doubt, with Harrison leading and having
possibly three-fourths of the delegation.

there we're five Blaine votes, and possibly

FORAKER ON THE FIGHT.

The Buckeye Ex-Governor as Sure as Ever
of Blaine's Nomination and Acceptance
He Expects to Place the Ex-Secretary
in Nomination.
MINNEAPoLIS, June 5-No man has
been more occupied during the day than e1-
Governor Joseph B. Foraker, of Ohio. He
has engaged spacious headquarters in con-
venient place in leading hotel, and his
rooms are crowded day and night with
visitors. The knowledge that it is he who
is to place Blaine in nomination makes him
the object of more than usual interest.
"What has been the effect of Blaine's res
ignation on the contest?" Ex-Governor
Foraker was asked tonight.
1.-THE effect has been to remove all doubt
as to his willingness to accept if nominated.
That is the positive effect it has had.''
DO you think that Blaine will be nomin-
ated?"
ssYes, do. 1 think he has majority of
, the delegates to the convention, and 1
think the majority of the Republicans in
the country want him for their leader"
'It is stated that you will place Blaine
in nomination. Is it true?"
eyes, probably. 1 have been requested
to do so and will determine later.
'Do you think there is any probability of
dark horse carrying of the nomination?"
"No, have no idea there is
sIf there is, will Sherman receive the
solid vote of Ohio?"
81 rather think he would, though there
has been no discussion of that matter in our
delegation, and have no authority to speak
for them, but think he would"

DEATH AT THE BRIDGE.

An Eyewitness Tells OF an Awful Scene
at Oil City-A Panic-stricken Crowd
Thrown Into the Raging Torrent-Died
in the flames.
A partial description of the scene at Oil
City was furnished last night by Colonel
Thomas Burns, formerly Chief of Police at
, Buffalo, now in the United States Secret
Service. He left Pittsburg Saturday night
for Buffalo, but the train could get no fur
ther than Oil City and he returned to this
city, taking the Lake Erie route a few
hours later. He said the scene at Oil City
when his train arrived was beyond descrip-
tion, and continues:
am not acq tainted with the locality, but
the section of the city lying on the lowlands
on either side OF Oil Creek was all destroyed
and the whole valley was mass of flames.
The burning oil from Titusville covered the
water in the creek, and wherever it over
flowed its banks it made magnificent but
The people were in q state of panic. In
the section called the Third ward, where
am told the poor class of people lived, saw
q crowd make wild rush to a small bridge
leading over the creek to the business Sec
tion of the city, but they jammed at the en-
| trance, and in their terror many were
trampled under foot and others we're thrown
| into the river, Some time afterward q biz,
burly fellow rushed out and yelled to
the, people, that the water was rising,
and would sweep them away; An
| other wild stampede followed. People
| rushed in every direction and took to tho
hill myself. 1 was afterward informed that
the bridge went down in the second rush
and many lost their lives. 1 saw men,
! women and children, some naked and others
nearly so, creeping up the hillside on their
hands and knees, screaming with fright,
mothers calling for their lost children, men
! rushing in frantic search for their wives and
families, and all thoroughly panic stricken.
Many lost their lives by remaining in their
houses until it was too late to escape the
flames, and 1 heard of one young man, an
Allegheny Valley Railroad messenger, who.
with his mother, was burned to death in his
own house.
Those of the people who were not fright
ened out of their wits were ghting courage
ously to stay the progress of the flames.
Houses in the track of the fire were being
demolished by tearing them down by the
use Of dynamite. When our train pulled ont
the fire seemed to be spreading but the peo-
pie expected to check it before long. The
loss at Oil City alone is estimated up in the
millions, and it was told that everything in
the Oil creek valley from Oil City to Titus
Vile had been destroyed.

WARNER MILLER FOR BLAINE.
He Announces His Decision After Care
fully Going Over the Ground-A State
ment That Is Calculated to Greatly In
fiuence His Delegation and the Conven-


fiuence His Delegation and the Conven-
tion.
MINNEAPoLIs, June 6.-Ex-Senator
Warner Miller, of New York, at midnight
made the following statement, declaring for
Blaine, the choice of the majority of the
New York Republicans:
81 have arrived here after six weeks
travel over the country, in which 1 have
not been able to confer with my friends in
New York. Since coming here 1 have con-
suited with as many of the delegates as I
could possibly meet in the short time l have
been here. 1 find large majority of the
delegation are decidedly in favor of Mr.
Blaine as representing their constituents
1 respect this as the voice of the Repub-
licans of the State of New York, and will
support Mr.. Blaine in the convention"
This is the first official announcement
from Mr.. Miller since the opening of the
campaign and is regarded here as of great
significance and likely to influence
the action of the convention to a
considerable extent. It is said that
this gives Mr.. Blaine at least 46 votes from
New York in the convention, leaving not
more than 26 votes for Mr. Harrison, and it
is claimed by anti-administration men that
at least four of these 26 votes should be
properly put in the doubtful column.
MI. Miller only reached this determine
tion after being here twelve hours, in
which he went over the situation with the
New York Republicans ard with other
persons.
A strong effort was made bv Mr.. E. c.
O'Brien, one of the New York delegates,
and another administration man, to get Mr.
Miiler's support, or at any rate, to have
him preserve neutral position in the con-
test.
Congressman Belden, wis has generally
been regarded as Harrison man, was
asked before Mr.. Miller made his statement
how the New York delegation stood. He
replied: SIT is too much for me-
''Do you know that Mr. Blaine has 40
votes from New York ?''

COMMENTS OF ENGLISH PAPERS
On the Possibility of Blaine Being Nomi-
nated and Elected.

LONDON, June 6.-Most of tie morning
papers devote some space to discussion Of
Mr.. Blaine's chances of obtaining the
Presidency. The News says that the coming
election will be primarily conflict ofprinci-
pies, not conflict of men. The Chroniel'
thinks that Mr.. Blaine may be passed over,
as he has been before, solely because rivals
altogether inferior to himself are jeal-
ous of his name and fame. The STANDARD
thinks that Mr. Blaine will be the favorite
as compared with Mr.. Harrison, and adds
that, as the Democratic candidate is almost
equally certain to be Mr.. Cleveland, lively
times are in store for the people of the
United States. The Graphic says:
If Mr.. Biaine's resignation from the Cabi-
net meant his retirement from public life, it
would be real misfortune for America.
Happily the death to which he is committed
is illuminated by the hope OF q splendid res
direction.
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1892-06-06

The 18 miles between Titusville and Oil
City probably represent q population of
from 0,0G0 to $4,000. In Oil City the resi-
dences are mostly built on a high bluff
Between the river and the bluff is narrow
strip, which is occupied by business houses.
Oil City is the principal oil market in the
Pennsylvania oil region. Formerly the oil
since the building of the railroads it is sent
out by them. The river divides the city into
two parts, which are connected by q
passenger bridge 1,15O feet long, and by
a railroad bridge. Oil City was incor-
porated as a borough in 1862, and as city
in 1870 1t has 13 churches, 3 public
schools. 6 banks, 2 oil refineries, manu-
factory of engines, of engine boilers, bar
rel factory and other industries
Oil City is connected with Pittsburg by
the Allegheny Valley Railroad. 1t is a
terminus of the Franklin branch of the
Atlantic and Great Western Railroad, and
of the franklin division of the Lake Shore
and Michigan Southern. In the environs
OF Oil City is hill called Clark's
Summit, which commands a beautiful view
OF the river and surrounding country. The
passenger and freight cars of one of the
railroads are drawn over this hill by
huge stationary engine and on an inclined
plane 1900 feet long.
Titusville is on Oil creek and on the
Allegheny Valley Railroad, and the ter
minus of the Dunkirk and Allegheny Val
ley and Union and Titusville Railroads. 1t
is 80 miles south Of Dunkirk and about
% miles east of Meadville. 1t
is the most populous town Of
Crawford county. 1t has nine churches,
several banks, an Opera House and High
School, good hotels and printing Offices,
where two daily and several weekly
newspapers are issued. Titusville
has several oil wells, oil refneries,
steam sawmills, large iron works, which
produce engines, boilers, tubes and other
machinery, and manufactures Of barrels,
wagons and of tools for oil wells Titus
