Announce to the Director General the
Pope's Intention to Exhibit Mt the Fair.
CHICAGO, June 5.--Hon. William j.
Onahan accompanied by Worlds Fair Com
missioner-at-Large Thomas B. Bryan and
W. A. Amberg, President of the Columbus
Club, the leading Catholic organization of
Chicago, called on Director General Davis
Saturday in relation to the Vatican Treas
urer and the Pope, who has signified his in
tention to exhibit at the Columbian Exposi-
tion. Mr.. Onahan submitted to the Direc-
tor General the cable dispatch received
from Archbishop ireland, announcing the
intention of the Pope to make an exhibit
and desiring that provision be made for
special space. Mr. Onahan said this mark
of the Pope's interest would assuredly have
wide influence and reach quarters where
scarcely be expected to extend. The Catho-
lies of the world would be touched and
moved by the action of their spiritual chief
Mr.. Bryan also spoke, referring to the cor
dial and sympathetic reception he met with
at the Vatican as the representative of the
Exposition.
The Director General expressed great
qualification, and said as soon as tin nature
and extent of the exhibit is made known
steps will be taken to provide for it in the
most satisfactory manner. 1t is thought
that the exhibit will include a number of
the great works of art in the Vatican collec-
tion, and many rare manuscripts, together
with some of the more valuable of the pub
locations of the Propaganda press

A hARCH OF DEATH.

The Course of the Fiery Flood From New
tontosn Dam, Through IftusviIle to ot
City-Where ,he Big Rcfineries We're
Lncated-The First News.
OIL CITY, June 5.-[SpeciaL THE
course Of Oil creek is peculiarly ada pted by
nature and the mistaken handiwork of man
for lust such a calamity as has overtaken
this valley. Nearly 80 miles up the creek
from this place stood Spartansburg dam.
1t is almost hemmed in by hills,
while far above and inclining
toward it is an enormous watershed
miles in area. The cloudburst. of early this
morning, which seemed to be general in
that district, poured an enormous volume
Of water into Spartansburg dam, which
soon gave wav under the pressure. The
enormous bulk of water dashed down Oil
creek, flooding the banks on both sides.
Several miles down the creek the New
tontown dam was encountered. This dam
held the flood in check just long enough to
back an enormous body of water, when it
also gave wav. Hemmed in by the hills
and banks. the food dashed down the mar
row valley, sweeping everything before it,
and, ,dashing upon the city of Titusville like
a whirlwiri, did damage untold to both
pre- perty and lite.
Continuing on toward this city at the
rate OF 90 miles an hour, the food reached
and swept over the refneries between here
and Housewife. Between these two points,
nearly all the Independent refneries of the
upper oil country are located They are
on both banks of the stream, lying on low
land and extend for miles.
1t was here that the deadly oil, benzne,
and refined petroleum added its fury to the
food. Tank after tank, containing thou
sands of barrels of oil, were lifted from their
fastenings, and hurled against each other,
bursting open, and covering the water with
OIL for miles. Just above this city refined
oil ard benzine tanks were met with. and
all gave way before the rush, each adding
its fatal quota TO the now deadly stream.
The citizens of this place mad heard some
details of the Titusrille disaster, and
thronged the city streets here anxious for
later news. Then came the fatal oil flood
and atterward the fame, which was ignited
from engine sparks Nothing human
could have saved tie central portion of the
city had not the wind been blowing from
the east. This saved the city, but was fatal
TO the Third ward. Individual efforts of
employees alone saved the Derrick building.

after the latter has had time to consider the

workers will file objections goes without
saying. The manufacturers, however, are
said to be unit in their determination to
accept nothing less than what they now

bitterest labor struggles in iron circles is
just beginning to dawn in the industrial

THE QUAKE AT SANTA ANA.
1t Starts Things Up in Very Lively
Manner.

The whistle at the gas works blew the
signal for help, says the Santa Ana
Blade, and when Mr.. Holmes arrived he
found that the gas-holder, which is sur
rounded by water, was shaken badly,
and by it's disturbance had thrown six
inches, amounting to 5000 gallons of
water, out from around it in wave
that wet the ground for thirty feet
around. 1t was this and the noise made
by the holder that alarmed the engineer
in charge of the dynamo. The lower
line of wheels holding the holder in
place were thrown off the rail, putting
the holder out of balance.
At the city water works the water in
the reservoir rose and fell in waves a
foot or two in height, and flowed over
the waste pipes. The walls of the power
house were cracked in seven or eight
places, through and through, and the
plastering inside was cracked in five
places, one crack extending from the
ceiling half way down the wall. The
smoke stack. which was supposed to be
the most liable to harm, was not in
jured in any way.
Plastering in several private residences
was badly cracked, some in the upper
and others in the lower story.
Chandeliers swung for nearly half an
hour after the shock had passed, and the
electric street lamps swung so far out as
to give flashes of light over the buildings
to parts Of the town where they are not
usually seen.
