A House and Its Nine Occupants Carried
Away by n Flood in West Virginia.
WHEELING, w. Va, July 90. 6.-The Sc
we're storm which passed over this por-
ton of the country Sunday night was
more disastrous in its results than was
at first thought. 1t is now known that
there was considerable loss of life be-
sides some destruction of property by
lightning. At Long Run, in Marshall
county, a. few miles south of
Wheeling, an entire family of nine per-
sons is reported to have been swept
from the face of the earth by sudden
food following a cloudburst. The
family consisted of William Doty and
wife, their three children, Doty's father
and mother, Mrs. Doty's mother and a
servant girl. The house was situated
in a ravine and was swept away by the
torrent, not one of the sleeping occu-
pants being left to tell the tale. The
first known of the disaster was the find
ing the body of the servant girl Mon
day morning in the yard of neighbor
some distance below where the fated
house stood. 1t is also reported that
the bodies of Doty and the children
have been found at the mouth of the
creek which empties into the Ohio
river Another house was swept away
by the same torrent but all the occu-
pants are believed to have escaped.

STARTLING REVELATIONS

Made by tho Police of Allegheny City. Pa.
-Annrchistic Headquarters Discovered
and tho Head Center of the Dangerous
Organization Arrested.
PITTSBURGH, July 27.-The police are
jubilant over the arrest of Carl Knold
and believe that they are now on the
way toward the fountain head of the
conspiracy that eliminated in the re-
cent tragedy. For some time past the
socialistic and anarchistic elements of
Allegheny have been keeping under
cover and the authorities had flattered
themselves that the element had lost its
desire for mischief They have, how
ever, been undeceived, for the search of
Knold's residence Monday evening
proved conclusively that the circle or
section, or whatever it may be called,
had been continuously engaged in ac-
tive propaganda and intimately asso-
ciated with other opponents of free gov
ernment and liberty loving institutions
in different parts of the United States.
In the rooms were found all varieties
of anarchistic literature and correspond
ence, indicating that anarchy has abid-
ing places either in persons or groups
or individuals in New York, Chicago,
Denver and other points. A large num-
Der of ciphers and cipher communica-
tions, which were brought to light, indi-
Gated the existence of a general and
secret mode of communication.
So extensive was the supply of an
archistic literature found in the place
as to indicate that it must have been
| used as headquarters for the distribu-
| tion of this dangerous stuff through
the country. There were numerous
copies of Freedom, a rabidly anarchis-
tic sheet, emanating from Chicago and
edited by Lucy Parsons, the dusky relict
of the executed Anarchist. The paper
was filed with matter bloodthirsty and
bombastic some of the articles calling
upon anarchists to pull down the wage
question and wage slavery.
At noon yesterday five police officers
arrested in Allegheny Henry Bauer, the
head center of anarchists of this region.
AT the Central police station the Off
cials stated to reporter that they re-
gard the arrest of Bauer as the most
important since the shooting. He is a
professional agitator, drawing his sup
port from the anarchist groups and de-
votes his time to the distribution of the
revolutionary literature received from
Chicago. He lives with shoemaker at
73 Spring Garden street. Allegheny,
where he was captured. On Sunday he
was seen entering Knolds house with a
parcel. He has been partially identified
as man who was with Berkman in the
corridor of the Carnegie company's
building on Saturday just before the
shooting and handed BerlSman a small
package just as he entered the elevator.
This package is supposed to be either
the revolver or the cartridges after
wards found in Berkman's pocket. This
development has SO far been kept secret
by the police, although it is admitted
that the second man was seen in com.
pany with Berlxman on the street

o'poNNELL OUT ON BAIL.

He and tho Other Defendants in the
Homestead Case Released Under &c.
900 Bonds.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, July 26.-Hugh
O'Donnell and the other defendants to
the charge of murder in connection
with the Homestead riot have been re-
leased in bail of $4,000 each. In an
nouncing his decision Judge Magee said:
II have gone over the case carefully. The
right TO be admitted 10 bail is constitutional
right, and there must be evidence or
strong presumption OF murder in the first
degree before man can be refused
bail. l have indicated before the RESPONSE
bility of those engaged in this riot,
and need say no moro here. The first shots
came from the shore. There was u devilish ma
lignty on the part OF the mob. The evidence
shows the defendant was not NJ active partici-
pant in the killing. II shows he was in sympathy
with the crowd, and he, by his idly standing by,
Is responsible for the acts Il do not think there
is any doubt about the right of the prisoner to
be bailed, and will fix 1t at $40, 900. The way it
stands he is charged with murder in the second
degree"
District Attorney Burleigh-Under your hon.
or'S ruling we are content TO the other defend
ants being admitted in the same bail.
The court then proceeded to accept
bail and the defendants were released.

AcooMPLIcE OF eEReMANN,s.
Pittsburgh Polios Arrest Casper Knold and
Another on Suspicion.


Another on Suspicion.
, PITTSBURGH, Pa, July 26.-A tele-
gram from New York Monday stated
that Aaron Stamm, companion and
countryman of Bergman las his name
is now stated to be), came to Pitts
burgh with him and is supposed to have
been implicated with him in the
plot to remove Chairman FriclS.
Bergmann, when questioned by
Warden McAleese regarding the
matter, emphatically denied that he
had any accomplice, and said that he
came here alone. He denied that he
was in any way connected with nihil-
istic or anarchistic group, and repeated
that he took it upon himself to remove
FriclS for the good of society.
About 9 o'clock Monday afternoon
Detective Shore arrested Casper Knold,
a workman at the Taylor e Dean wire
mill on Market street, on a charge of
being an accomplice of Bergmann's. 1t
was known that Bergman and Knold
had been together previous to the at
tempted assassination and the police had
been working hard to run him down.
Monday afternoon they succeeded and
he was at once taken to the Contra
station and locked up. The arrest
proved an important one. Much about
Bergmann's previous movements were
learned through Knold.
An effort was made by the police
authorities to keep the matter of the
arrest quiet. 1t soon leaked out, how
ever, but the name of the prisoner was
not known until Monday evening. In
the meantime Paul EclIert, of Allie
gheny was also arrested. Several more
arrests are expected within the next
| twenty-four hours. Eckert lives at j
Cherry alley, Allegheny, and sublets a
| portion of his house to Knold and his
wife. Knold, who is believed to be an
anarchist, also informed the police
that Bergman came to him on
July IA with letter of in

SPRINGFIELD, H., July 26.-In the
United States district court Monday
james Sheplar, who pleaded guilty to
six charges of personating United
States officer, was sentenced by Judge
Allen to eighteen years in the peni-
tentia,y. Sheplar's offense was par
ticularly heinous, in that his victims
were women whom he arrested on
forged warrants and took from their
homes for immoral purposes. When
arrested he made lengthy plea for
mercy, which was Intellectual, as his
sentence was the extreme limit of the
law.

Causes a Frightful Explosion In a Sewer at
st. Louis-Three Persons Instantly Killed,
Three Fatally mi jured, and Three Missing.
ST. Louis, July 27.-An explosion of
coal oil gas occurred in the Mill creek
sewer yesterday afternoon, tearing up
Chouleau avenue from the levee to
Broadway. The explosion was caused
by the sewer filing with coal oil
which escaped during the burning Of
the Waters-Pierce plant last Friday.
The generating gas caught fire on ac-
count of the intense heat and the ex-
plosion followed. The sewer caps,
weighing 200 pounds, were blown off at
the street intersections as far west as
Fourteenth street. The gas ignited the
alcoholic gases in Furch's whisky dis
tilling company. Six pedestrians are
known to be buried in the wrecked
sewer. One fireman caught beneath
the debris of falling walls is also in q
critical condition.
Along Choleau avenue the tracks of
the Iron Mountain road, several freight
trains and an empty passenger train
were blown to pieces. Furch's distill-
cry was the building most affected by
the explosion. The first and second
floors fell, carrying the workmen to the
cellars One workman in the distillery
has been carried to the hospital in q
critical condition.
Three persons were killed, three were
seriously injured and three men are
missing as the result of the explosion
yesterday afternoon. The list is as fol-

along the line of the sewer.
The interior of Fuchs place, "A three

destroyed. The building caved in and
fell into the sewer beneath, carrying
with it Fuchs, his bartender, Charles

It is only as one rises to the national
conception of what Columbus Day, Oct.
10, may be made that it takes on its
true character. The day itself, simply
as a way Of calling up the past and CIV.
ing it historical significance, will be full
of meaning, but it viii be much more
than this. The historical part Of the
celebration is not confined to the mere
act Of the discovery Of America by
Columbus on the morning Of Oct 10.
It is q day that reaches back through
four centuries Of progress. and it in
cludes all that America has passed
through in these 400 years-the crowd
ing out of one race by another: the
succession of one civilization after an
other; the growth Of new ideas, and
the putting of old ideas to new service;
the introduction of nobler manners, bet
ter laws, a larger and freer life than the
world has known before, and as the
fundamental element in this new order,
the creation and the development of our
public school system, than which moth
ing is more truly representative of Amer
lean ideas and institutions.
The eagerness and appreciation, with
which the suggestion for this peculiar
celebration has been caught up shows
that it touches the right chord in tho
patriotic hearts Of the young people
throughout the whole nation.

SANTA MARIA,

Of about equal size. Columbus chose
three small ships rather than one large
vessel, with the hope that ont of the
three one at least would weather the
stormy passage and live to return.
They were designed and constructed
upon model of the old type of craft
known as the caravel, which included in
its class all vessels from so to 100 tons,
with or without decks
The Santa Maria was no larger than
the little schooners engaged in fishing
on the Great Banks, or about equal in
tonnage to the stanch pilot boats which
cruise along our coast in all weathers.
This vessel upon which Columbus sailed
was eighty-6ve feet long, twenty-four
feet wide and drew eight feet of water.
Her bottom was made very fat. in order
that she might be run upon the shore OF
sandy beach without undue strain to
her timbers. Her extreme width was at
the water line where the hull bulges out
several feet beyond the upper structure
at the deck. This form Of "tumbling

Of the sailor, is rarely seen in ships of
modern design and construction, al

yards. Ancient shipbuilders held that
bullying out the sides of a vessel pre-
vented her rolling in heavy sea, and
accordingly her decks would not be ex-
posed to to the sweep of heavy surges
breaking close aboard.
The Santa Maria had but one deck.
At the bow was house called the fore
castle, in which the petty officers slept
and also.a part Of the crew. Across the
stern Of the ship was a second house
called the after castle, above which ran
a deck called the poop deck or quarter
deck. A small watch tower was erected:
