The Great disaster was Predicted.

ANDERSON. IND, June S.-The recent
disastrous fire and food that swept over
the oil region Of Pennsylvania recalls
wildly the prediction made by VIM Ston-
er. a colored preacher Of this town who one
month ago went into trance on the street
corner In this city and foretold with great
yigor the destruction OF the cities in the oil
regions Of Pennsylvania by fire and water
Every body thought Stoner was crazy, but
the power and earnestness which he talked
about the affair impressed everyone who
heard.
The poor fellow was locked up for insan-
ity and is still in Jail Nothing more was
thought Of the matter until the terrible
disaster befell the oil regions Monday
night, then the prophetic words Of the old
darkey were recalled. There are some
people in town who are now wondering
whether StOner is crazy or gifted with
prophetic instinct One thing certain, his
prophecy has been fulhled with remark
able accuracy.

PoINT PLEASANT, w.
To the Editor Of the Register:

To tie Editor Of the Register:
SlR:-I avail myself of the columns Of
the REGISTER, and through it the press OF
the State, to make more generally known
to you my candidacy for the nomination for
State Auditor at our convention TO be held
in the city Of Parkersburg on the 9th day
OF July next.
resort TO this method Of communicating
with you touching my aspirations in this
regard for the reasons: first, because OF
my business engagements demanding my
presence at home at this time, and second
IL, because of the expense incident TO avis
IL TO the several counties OF the State for
the purpose Of seeing you personally, and
the money required for this purpose for
paying travel and hotel bills is not at my
command, and which | am at least unable
to spare from my business.
AS to my qualifications TO I'LL the Office 10
which | aspire, forbear TO speak, leaving
this TO the wise judgment of my party in
convention assembled, but l feel that the
grave responsibilities Of the trust are not
greater than can meet and discharge.
For more than a quarter Of a century
have been engaged in an earnest effort to
disseminate Democratic principles as the
humble editor of one of its party papers,
and have labored hard during this period
for the promotion Of Democratic success,
according at all times my loyal and unfal-
tering support to the various nominees Of
the party.
Atno time before have l ever sought or
secured q nomination to a State Office at
the hands of our party, preferring rather
to aid others than to push my own claims
to favorable recognition.
l believe it is matter Of history that the
Democratic party has never placed on its
State ticket a representative of the press,
although it has often been invited to do so;
and if party service and personal sacrifices
for the good of Democracy are to be con-
sidered in the make up of our ticket, then
the claims of the newspaper fraternity
ought to be speedily and cheerfully recog-
nized Therefore, l earnestly ask your
support in convention, and if nominated
will at once enter upon vigorous canvass
of the State; but should the convention see
fit to give this nomination TO one of the
other excellent gentlemen who are seeking
the nomination, l promise the successful
one, whoever he may be, my honest, earn
est and hearty support and the whole
ticket as well, for Il am Democrat" and
consider my party higher than any man
Very respectfully

CLIFTON. w. VA, June S.-There Is but
slight change in the smallpox intecteo
towns since nv report Of yesterday. Nellie
calhoun. one Of the Pomeroy patients, dleo
Yesterday. The case at Carps Coal WORKS,
reported Yesterday. proves to be but vari-
loid. The case at Hartford City is conVa-
descent, and telephone message Just re-
ceived from Mr.. Charles Clifton, Superln-
teudent of the Liverpool SAT- company
there. states that the authorities Oh tnat
town will discontinue the quarantine To-
morrow.
The report from the infected region near
I,etart. which stated that large NUMBER
OF persons had been exposed by the open
ing of the coffin containing the remains OF
Rosbery who died st Mason City and was
taken there for burial, proves to be untrue.
The coffin was not opened and there are
mt two cases, the mother and sister OF
the deceased. A report says that the lat
Ter is dead, but it lacks confirmation.
Mason City reports two new cases, VIM.
Harper and John l.. Mason, the latter
Justice Of the Peace and recently an en-
ploye on the Kanawha Gazette at Cnarles-
ton. The last three days has undoubtedly
improved the conditions. The West Flr-
ginia and Ohio State Boards OF Health are
acting in concert, prominent members OF
both Boards being on the scene yesterday.
Dr. A. Crery, President Of the Mason
county Board of Health, and DR.. ID. A.

are working night and day and are making
heroic efforts 10 stay the spread OF the
dreaded dlsase, and their efforts are being
rewarded. With the earnest cooperation OF
the civil authorities continued as IL has
been in the past, the scourge will be under
complete control. The total aggregate or
cases TO date at the several infected points
aggregate eighty-one, and it IS not PROBABLE
that this number will De greatly increased.

For the Deaths in the BerKefberg Nine
DisaAter-Origin of the Fire.

VIENNA. June S.-The Austrian social
democratic congress has made report on
the Birkenberg mine disaster in which it is
alleged that the immense loss of life in the
mines was due to the officials
driving the miners back from the
shaft when they were trying to escape
Just after the fire broke out. The Of
ficials, the report declares, told the men
there was no danger and persisted in their
refusal to allow the men egress from the
mine The report also alleges that the
stables in which the fire engines belonging
to the mine were kept could not be found,
and instead of breaking into the stables a
search was made for the missing key. AS
matters turned out, however, the time thus
lost was Of no consequence, for when the
engines were got out of the stables it was
found that there was no water available.
An investigation reveals that the probable
cause Of the fire was the ignlting by lighted
tapers of small wooden altar that had
been erected in one of the lower galleries
by devoted miners in honor Of the patron
saint of Bohemia.

On C1rr. PA. June S.-After three days
Of excitement, violent grief and well per
formed duties TO the dead and living, this
place has resumed business, recovered It's
lost nerve, and Is ready TO look the future
In face with hope and faith; activity IS 70,
turning and the nervous dread and natural
fear OF more have gone. This morning
seven unknown and unclaimed dead were
buried with lifting memories In the relleI
lot in Hin Grove cemetery. This is beau
tiful triangular lot, 70 feet wide. Near the
entrance, has been set apart for this pur-
pose. and in il a handsome monument VIII
be placed. Already there are ten "un-
known deadn buried there. At O'CLOCK
this morning occurred the funeral Of Edith
Freeman, the nine year old daughter OF ID.
Q. Freeman, travelling agent OF the valley
Oil Company.
At q later hour the funeral Of Mrs. Mary
Hawks took place. John Hawks, her nus
band, is still missing, and she IS survived
by eight children.
All the dead recovered up to yesterday
noon have been buried, but the sad cere-
monies are not yet over as there are sew
eral in the hospital who are not expected TO
live. These are: Charles Coourn, Mr..
Patrick Fceuey and two children; Mary
Tesmer, Annie BRUNEI, Edward Hanna,
and Mrs. Sophis Briggs. Up TO IL o'clock
to-day the relief fund Of Oil City amounts
10 $Sl, 679, and for Titusville S3l $50.
In these are included the $4,000 given by
the Standard Oil Company to be equally
divided between the two cities. The work
of removing the ruins was actively re-
sumed to-day, and 400 men and 100 teams
are engaged. As yet no effort has been
made 70 clear away the ruins along the
west side and the fires are still burning
among the rubbish. A local authority
gives his estimate of the loss at $9lO, 600.
This is based on q personal estimate OF the
losers and a careful calculation IN cases
where the overs are dead. The relief COM
mittee has already given aid to 200 per,
sons. and it is believed the number will
reach 500. Many Of these will have to be

HOTTEST JULY DAY SINCE 1866.
Yesterday was a Record-Breaker
and all Prespired.

Yesterday was a record-breaker. Yet
without knowing the fact all perspired.
At noon the thermometer registered 90
degrees, at it registered "a degrees, at
il registered 90 degrees and at it regis
tered SO degrees The drop from 96 to
SO degrees was because of the thunder
shower.
Yesterday was hotter than July 9. 1886,
when the thermometer registered 95x de-
grees, and hotter than July "a, 1882, when
the thermometer went up TO 95 degrees.
1t was the hottest July day since
1866, when the mercury sizzled
up to 9S degrees and only a
little less hot than the July day in 1S49,
when the thermometer registered 07 de-
grees. But everyone is satisfied that the
records of 1s49 and 1866 were not broken.
IL was plenty hot enough without such
extensive record breaking.
At this morning the thermometer was
up to 10 and at noon il was at 81. During
the night the mercury went down and
finally reached 90 degrees at o'clock
this morning.
The showers of last night gave rain
fall of A of an inch.
While all humanity is suffering from
the extreme heat one can imagine that
lie feels cool by remembering that PRovI-
DENCE is not having such hot weather as
many other New England cities are hav-
