DARKNESS WAS MERCIFUL.
It Ended a Day Of Excitement and
Narrowing Scenes.
DEATH LIST AT OIL CITY PLACED
AT TWO HUNDRED.

just How Many Perished Will Never Be
Khown--Their Bodies Were Burned to
Cinders and Swept Away in the Flood
The City Stunned by its Misfortune.
OIL CITY, Pa, June GA day full OF
excitement and narrowing scenes has
closed here. Al1ialong the burned Sec
ton can be seen groups of persons still
hunting for loved ones. 1t is now GER
tain that many bodies were burned to
cinders or swept into the flood and
away. At late hour tonight 81 bodies
were taken from the ruins. Those ac-
quainted with the locality where the
greatest damage was done, say the loss
of life must reach at tleasts150, and many
put the figures at 200. The station
where the loss of life was greatest
was largely occupied,b by foreigners en-
ployed in the tube works. No one knows
their names and it will be impossible
everto learn just how many are missing.
AS fast as the bodies are identified they
are prepared for burial. The whole city
is stunned by the awful blow and busi-
ness is at a standstill.

RocKLAND, June GA fifth party is to
enter the Presidential race in this state.
A. F.tWooster of this city, secretary of
the state committee of the Union Labor
party, today issued call for a state con-
vention to be held in this city, Thursday,
June %, at which Presidential electors,
delegates to the Omaha convention, a
candidate for governor and state COM
mittee will be chosen. The call, while
aimed principally at the Union Labor
party, is designed for the benefit of all
voters who act in consonance with the
National People party and particularly
those who are opposed to the action of
the Peoples party at their state conven-
ton at Gardiner, May Sd. The cause of
the dissatisfaction may be found in the
two opening paragraphs of the call issued
today and which are as follows:
Whereas-In all national industrial confer
ences and conventions that have originated in
political organizations bearing various names,
such as the Union Labor party andPeopIe's par
ty, the most diScordant elements were woman
suffrage and prohibition, these two elements
acting with such perSiStency that disruption
seems movable when said elements grow much
stronger, and
Whereas, the Gardiner convention held May
8, 1892 adopted platform containing woman
suffrage and prohibition planks and nominated
for Governor a notorious prohibitionist who did
not identify himself with the Union Labor party
or with the Peoples party until Immediately
before the Gardiner convention and its candi-
dates and members of the state committee are
so tinctured with prohibition that the success
OF that party would have decided tendency to
reinforce the discordant elements aforesaid
