PIrrsBURaH, June 5.-The oil regions
OF Pennsylvania were visited to-day by
disaster of fire and water that is only
eclipsed in the history of this country
by the memorable food OF Johnstown
just three years ago.
1t is impossible at this hour-mid-
lnight-to give anything like and ac-
curate idea of the loss OF life and prop
erty, as chaos reigns throughout the
devastated region and a terrible con1a-
grafton still RACES in Oil City. tbs safe
to say that not less than $50 lives have
been lost. Nearly 100 bodies have al
ready been recovered and many people
are still missing. The number may far
exceed 15O, but this is regarded as a
conservative estimate.
The property loss will reach far into
the millions. At Titusville. the loss is
estimated at Sl,500,000; Oil City, ST.
100000; Cory, $4,000; Meadville, $780,
O60, and surrounding country probably
a million more.
For nearly month It has been rain
ing throughout Western and Northern
Pennsylvania almost incessantly, and
for the past three or four days the down.
pour in the devastated regions has been
very heavy. The constant rains had
converted all the small streams into
raging torrents, SO that when the cloud
burst came this morning the streams
were soon beyond their boundaries, aud
the great body of water came sweeping
down Oil creek to Tltusville. which is
eighteen miles south OF its source. The
lower portion OF the town was soon in
aundRt0d.
The flood came so quickly that the
people had not time to reach place Of
safety Tho water soon swept num-
Der OF oil tanks down the stream and in
some way not known they were ignited.
In less time than it takes to tell the
story, the flames spread to the sur
rounding buildings and before they
could be subdued five blocks had been
burned. The oil from the scores OF
broken tanks ran into the creek and
was ignited by floating debris
In few minutes the creek was ablaze
from shore and as it was carried down
the stream death and destruction fol-
lowing in lis wake. Everything inffam-
mable took fire and by the time it
reached Oil City all the bridges between
the two points were consumed. Oil
City is eighteen miles from Titusville.
The towns along the creek are Bough-
ton, AIiller's Farm, Pioneer, Petroleum
Centre, Rynd Farm, Rouseville and Nc
Clintockville. Housewife has about
1000 inhabitants and the other towns
about 200 each. Oil Creek flows through
marrow gorge all the way, and as the
towns are mostly situated on the hills,
1t is hoped that there was no loss Of
life.

INTERESTING GOSSIP
About the DolOsatos-DerOW md EmmOnS :
Blaine Meet.


NryNEAroIs, MISN., June 5.-The
trains that arrived during the day were
in from two to four sections, and all Soc
tions wore very heavy. Nearly every
section had from ono to half dozen
delegates, and they represented all parts
of the union.
In the matter OF sentiment OF state
delegations there are many conflicting
opinions. The Michigan people are unde-
cided as vet, apparently, as to whether
AlCer will come before the convention.
Some Of his intimate friends intimate
that in view OF the TACT that no IS q
strong Blaine man himself aud may not
allow his name to come up for consider
alton, but all thut is Inere conjecture;
II is stated by Col. Atkinson, OF De-
troit, that MS between Harrison, Blaine
will hayo all but four Of the delegation.
On the other hand, other prominent
Michiganders say that Alger will have
the support OF the delegation first, last
and ali the time. Col. Atkinson says:
AZ hope that Alger will be nomt-
nated."
As to Ohio, Ex-Governor Foraker and
other strong Blaine men claim only
ono.hali, or bare majority Of the dele
CATION for Blaine: 1t is asserted on the
other side that Blaine will not have to
exceed l6 votes and possibly not moro
than 10 out OF the Ohio delegation.
The Iowa delegation is weakening In
its Harrison feeling. Two delegates,
who will arrive tomorrow morntngare
strong Blaine men and four others are
ready to turn the two voting for Blaine
in last nights meeting; eight delegates
are sure for Blaine and probably more.
A prominent New York delegate said
to-day that the dark horse feeling was
growing in that delegation and tue
delegates wero debating between Sher-
man and Allison.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, June 5.-Ex-Sen-
ator Warner Miller, Of New York, at
midnight made the following statement
declaring for Blaine, the choice OF the
majority OF the New York Republicans:
~ have arrived here after six weeks
travel over the country, in which l
have not been able to confer with my
friends in New York. Since coming
here have consulted with as many OF
tho delegates as ! could possibly meet
in the short time 1 have been here. l
find largo majority OF the delegation
are decidedly in favor Of Mr.. Blnine as
representing their constituents. re.
spect The voice OF the Republicans Of
the state OF New York, and will sup
port Mr.. Blaine in the convention. II
is said that this gives Mr.. Blaine at
least forty-six votes from New York in
tho convention.
At the headquarters Of the Maine
delegation it was stated thatno one had
been selected to present Mr.. Blaine's
name and It was not known whether he
would be formally placed in nomi-
nation or not.

MrxNEApoLIs, MINI, June 5.-The
silent soldier of the Harrison forces, ex-
Attorney General Nlichener, Of Indiana,
seemed to feel this evening that he had
matters sufficiently well in hand to step
aside for q moment in the heat of the
siege and outline the situation. BE
said:
"The reaction to-day has been dis.
tinctly in favor OF the President. l
could name four menin one state alone,
who are claimed for Blaine, that have
since tho secretary's resignation from
the cabinet and in a measure rs q result
OF that action, been brought to the sup
port of General Harrison and have sig
nified their intention to cast their votes
for him in the convention. This Is only
nm instance OF material changes eonsti-
tutine almost q general movement to-
day, Tho Presidents friends have not
from the start felt themselves in such a
strong position as now, or In better con-
dition for aggressive action. Our figures

don't" :.

that forty of New York's seventy-two
votes would be cast for Blaine on the
first ballot. There were number OF
notable absentees from the caucus.
Senator Hiscock was one, and Chaun-
cey Depew only looked in. 1t was de-
cided to hold another caucus tomorrow.
Indiana had caucus as well as New
York. Gen. Lew Wallace said tho In:
diana men in their gathering decided
to stand solidly by Harrison from the
opening to the close Of the convention,
come what may. No other action was
taken. He denied having heard OF any
movement for a general caucus OF repre-
sentatives OF all the states.

That Struck TituSVille.
CoRRY, Pa, June 5.-The most de.
structive rain storm that has ever visit
ed this locality began yesterday after
noon at 8 o'clock. 1t was like heavy
cloud burst, and by 8 o'clock the busi-
ness and eastern portions OF the town
were under water, with the rain still
falling in perfect torrents.
The worst was reached at o'clock,
when First avenue, Main street, the
railroad yards and Centre street were
like roaring river, the water being
from one to three feet deep and all
emptying into the flats In the eastern
portion Of the city. There were many
people being rescued from their homes
in the best way possible. The police
force was stationed greater portion OF
the time at the Union Depot, where the
water had surrounded the building, and
was two feet deep and running at a
rapid rate. Many in attempting to
cross were thrown into the water and
carried some distance before they could
be rescued by the officers. There was
no loss OF life and but few injured.
Nearly every basement in the busi-
ness portion OF the city was flooded and
also many Of the stores. THE loss on
stock and merchants is very heavy, and
it is safe TO say that the loss throughout
the city will reach $4,000.
The storm was general throughout
this locality, and in the country dis
tricts the loss can hardly be estimated.
The great stone culyert over the west
end OF the city was carried away and
will be heavy loss to the Erie compa-
ny. 1t is thought by morning that the
passenger train service will again be re-

A TOWN WIPED OUT
By :Fire-People Homeless and Loss Over
Million Dollars.

DENVER, COL, June 5.-Ths bustline
camp of Jimtown, which is Separated
from the famous mining town OF Creede,
by mile and half, was almost totally
destroyed by fire which started at half
past five o'clock this morning. The
flames were started by an explosion OF
coal oil with which a family living in
the Kinneway block were starting fire
to prepare breakfast.
As there was no fire department, the
flames had it ali their own way and in
short time they burned through the
rows OF frame buildings for a distance
OF mile in the narrow gulch in which
the town is situated. Many houses
were blown up with giant powder in an
attempt to stop the fire, but this had no
effect, for the flames leaped from one
vacant space to another and only
stopped for the want OF material. Little
if any OF the contents were saved and
there are hundreds OF families home
less, but they will be provided for by
the people OF Creede. The total loss is
estimated at a million dollars.

through the hotels that General Alger
had retired from the contest in favor OF
Blaine. The Blaine people did consid-
cradle shouting on the strength OF this
report, and a knowledge that a majority
Of the Michigan delegation are friendly

TlrusvuLE, Pa, June 5.-The city Of
Titusville has been visited during the
past twenty.four hours by one of the
most disastrous fires and floods in all
the history OF tho region. Oil Creek
has overAowed its banks from the west,
and also the water and gas works to the
city line below, and for hours assumed
tho proportions OF an almost resistlcss
flood, reaching almost up to the limo OF
Spring street. The city is without fuel,
street electric light, the water works
and gas are surrounded by water and
inundated. The Perry street and Frank
lin street iron bridges have bOcn swept
away. Scores of cheap dwelling houses
in tho lower part OF the city on Me-
chanic street and vicinity have been
destroyed, and scores OF lives have been
lost, some being burned, but tho major
ity perishing by drowning.
UTTER DEsoLATIoS.
The scene presented by the rushing
waters surging through the lower part
otthe city as witnessed by thousands Of
citizens was one Of utter desolation
when,morning broke, and hundreds OF
anxious people looked out Of the win
dows or stood on the roofs Of the houses
waiting for a helping hand and trem-
bling for their tate. Strong and brave
men, by means OF boats and ropes, sue.
ceeded in reaching and saving those
who had secure position till help ar

To add to the horror oil the scene,
rain fell in torrents and fire broke out
in tho refineries at different points, and
tho burning oil sweeping down on the
current was communicated to other
manufacturing plants and establish
ments, and the destruction was in
creased an hundred fold. Among the
losses by FIRE arc the International Oil
Works, the Hiram Blow Copper Shops,
the Rice & Robinson Refinery, the
Tilusyille Radiator Works, the Western

and the Crescent Oil Works OF John
