County and flows in a general southery
direction to Titusville, AMI from thers
almost due north to the Allegheny
River at Oil City. just below Titusville
it is joined by East Oil or Pine Creek.
Between Ttusville and Oil City there
are nine little hamlets where oil wells have
been sunk which have attained the dignity
of Postoffices Altogether these hamiets
have population of about 1000. The eigh-
teen miles between Titusville and Oil City
probably represent population OF from
10000 to $4,000
Later Details.
The loss of life and destruction of prop
erty in Oil Creek Valley. Penn, were far
greater than was stated In the first reports
At oil City sixty-seven bodies were re-
covered in one day, AMI it was believed that
not less than $50 persons perished by Hood
and fire.
At Tltusville fifty-five bodies were found
in the ruins, and there was every reason to
believe that many were washed away and
will be recovered when the water recedes.
The latest estimate of the total loss of life
placed the number at $50.
Calls for financial help are made by both
cities and generous response has already
been received. Several hundred thousand
dollars at least will be needed.
One-third of Titusville has been destroyed
by the combined horrors OF ire and Hood,
and $1,000, 900 will not cover the property
loss.
It was impossible at the time this dis
patch was received to estimate the loss Of
life and property in the Oil Creek Valley,
outside of Titusville and Oil City.
Twenty nine miles of the creek banks on
eifl,py, side were laid waste.

THE NORTHERN LIGHTS.

The Most Brilliant Display Ever Wit.
messed From American Soil.
The display Of the aurora borealis Sat
urday evening was the most brilliant ever
seen IN America. It was observed at DIFF
icrent points extending from the Atlantic
ocean to Iowa-a distance of over thou
sand miles II is reported as being OBJ
served in New York, CleYeland, Cincin-
mali, Chicago, st. Louis, and many
other large cities. Scientific men
assure us that it was not altogether unex-
pected and that other displays may be
looked for in the near future,
1t began shortly after six O'Clock, and
for an hour was a gorgeous sight-one
which would have made Bayard Taylor
exclaim "The amber midnight smiles in
dreams OF dawn" A banner of crimson
extended from east to west oyer the north.
ern sky and reaching nearly TO the zenith
1t would dim at times to a delicate pink,
and then brighten suddenly to the bright
hue of a maiden's blushing cheek. Bars
of white played constantly over the sur
face of the sky-sometimes very distinct
oftener hardly discernable, and all this was
but the reflection of hidden glory more
intense. The "geater" lights were meyer
seen by mortal eyes. Beneath the horizon
were golden streaks Of light which made
daylight of the northern midnight and
made glad the hearts of the dwellers in
those ice-bound regions.
The cause Of the phenomena is absolute
ly unknown. There are great many
theories about 1t, but they are simply
theories. All that is known about them Il
that they are electrical disturbances. Thii
is proven by the effect they have on com
passes and telegraph instruments.
In ancient times great many supersti
tiols were attached to this phenomena
Some thought they presaged war, famine
etc. Modern science has dispelled thes,
supers,itions, although unable TO solve tn
mystery Of their occurrence.

From a recent Boston exchange We take

The discretion of the Massasoit club In
choosing two bright, familiar farces, full Of

Madison Morton's "Betsy Baker" is pure
bit of fun throughout, and Miss Rose q.
Mallory as the. enterprising laundress
brought to the character spirit and per-
soEality that made II exceedingly attract
