Relieving the Destitute.

TiTvsvILLE. Pa. June S.-The relief
committee are still busily engaged in
supplying clothing to the needy. There
were a large number of people who
lost thciI all, and. when they were
rescued. were in a state of almost en-
tire nudity. the only covering in some
instances was a night dress. AMI in
so:Gc cases they were even destitute Of
this :overing.
The local relief committee met the
P:t:sburg committee yesterday. Mr..
Sherman. of the former. said that $50
families had been made homeless, and
altogether more than 600 persons
would have to receive assistance for
some time to come. Joseph Seep. OF the
Standard Oil Co., estimated that SlO0-
ooJ would enable the committee 10
pat Titusville on its feet again. This
money will be spent on the poorer
classes, for building houses. purchase
of furniture, etc. The aggregate
money loss in this city is now placed
at 81. 500. 600.
The search for bodies at Oil City and
Titasville still goes on.

fhis city. How many lives went out in
fame and flood can not now be esti-
mated. but it appears to be nearly Ger.
tain that at least 100 died, and when
the death roll is completed it may be
found that that number has been ex-
ceeded.
To add to the horror of the scene
rain fell in torrents, fire broke out in
the refneries at different points and
the burning oil sweeping down the
current was communicated to other
manufacturing plants and establish
ments and the destruction was IN
creas. d a hundred fold.
Fully one-third of the business and
resident portion of this city is mass
of charred embers, over which the
terrible waters still rush with un-
abated fury. .
The streets are filled with crowds Of
wet, hungry, hopeless and despairing
men. women and children, most OF
whom have lost loved ones and all
their property.
II is believed that lightning caused
the oil refineries to explode.
The following appeal for aid has
been issued.
Our suffering and restitution Is terrible,
the loss of life and destruction of property
is great. large portion Of our manufac.
turing interests are wiped out by flood and
fire. and hundreds OF families are home
less and destitute. In the absence OF our
mayor we appeal to a generous public for
help in this our time of distress.

Prr1sBuRo, Pa, June Probably
four hundred and fifty lives were lost
in the food and flame that swept
through the oil regions Of Penn
sylvania Saturday night and Sunday.
The death list has grown and
grown with frightful rapidity. and
even now it may not have reached its

trail of the food, and missing men
and women may still be found In its
wake.

about them was laid waste. Tho min

seen in this state before and that was

An effort to gre some idea Of the
loss is well nigh hopeless. II is mil

gave way upon all sides and swollen
streams rushed from their banks to
inundate the surrounding country.
Titusville and Oil City suffered the
most. In the former city five blocks
were licked up by the fire. The loss
is 81, 10000 The deaths are estimated
at $50 The blazing Hood swept on
down Oil creek carrying on its sur
face scores of people ciinging
to flaming debris. Oil City was swept
away by water and fire. The city is
scene of direst confusion. Two hun
dred dis6gured dead are there. boz
ems of bodies, charred and burned, are
at the morgues- Hundreds are home
less. The city is absolutely helpless
Meadville and Cory suffered from
the cloudburst only. There was nc
loss Of life SO far as known yet. The
business portion of Meadville wa:
ruined. The loss there is Sl50,00O.
In this city measures of relief were
set on foot promptly and every aid pos
sible is being extended to the suffer
ers- Subscriptions have been taken uE
and money, food and clothing are be
ing forwarded as fast as possible.
At Oil City at late hour last night
sixty-sevsn bodies had been taker
from the ruins. Those who ar,
acquainted with the locality WHERE
the greatest damage was done. say the
loss of life must reach at least $50 ant

the fire broke out between twenty-five
and thirty wOrkingmen Were in the

entertained as to the fate of the IN

The first spends three times as
much for paint in five years,
and his buildings never look
as well.
Almost everybody knows
that good paint can only be had
by using strictly pure White

care in selecting. Any Of the
following brands are strictly

CORY Under Water.

CORY. Pa, June 6.-The most de-
structive storm that has ever visited
this city began Saturday at 3 o'clock.
1t was a heavy cloudburst, and at
o'clock the business and eastern por-
ton of the town was under water.
with the rain still falling in perfect
torrents.
The worst was reached at IL o'clock,
when First avenue. Main street, the
railroad yards and Center street was
like a roaring river, the water being
from one to three feet deep and empty
ing into the fats in the eastern portion
of the city. There many people were
being rescued from their homes in the
best way possible.
Many men 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.
The south side of the city presents a
sad appearance. but the eastern por-
ton is still worse. Sidewalks are car
ried away and the roads in places
quilted for four to six feet deep.

snlliyan,s Answer to Mitchell.

MINNEAPOLIS, March 7.-On receipt of
Mitchelrs ultimatum tonight, an Associ-
ated Press representative hunted up John
L. Sullivan. After reading over Mitchell's
talk, Sullivan reiterated his statement he
would fight Mitchell any time between the
18th of August and the 7th of September
He could not extend the time beyond the
latter date because his next theatrical en-
gagement begins on the 18th of September
This gives Mitchell six months to train in
and allows him only three months from
the termination of his season. AS regards
the Olympic club articles referred to by
Mitchell, Sullivan says he hasn't seen
them; knows nothing about them
had authorized nothing beyond his
challenge and wants to know why Mitchell
is so conversant with them. Sullivan said
he doesn't propose to sign articles he
knows nothing about, or ieopardise the
championship title through any fake. He
wants Queensbury rules so as to
prevent any foot racing. AS regards
Mitchelrs assertions that he stood Sulli-
van off twice, John says it is a deliberate
falsehood, as is also Charley's statement
that the champion outweighs him forty
pounds. poor little 201-pound baby

PRITCHARD'S DEATH
Constable Flemming WIS Re-
quested to Arrest the Marshal
By Mr.. Ulrich. His Father-in-Law, and Was
Told He Was Armed-Ihe Marshal
Was Temporarily Insane.

BOISE, Ida, March 7.-TSpecial telegram
to The HERALD. Full particulars of the
sad tragedy in which Deputy United States
Marshal Pritohard was shot down at
Oreans near Silver City, on Saturday by
Constable Flemming were received in this
city tonight. MIR. Pritchard left this city
few days ago, going to Oreana, where his
wife and child and father-in- law live. He
was observed by them to act strangely. At
first it was thought that he was Intoxicated,
but it gradually became apparent to his
father-in law and friends that Pritchard
was suffering from a fit of temporary insan-
ity. He became so violent that his father
in-law, Mr.. Ulrich, notified Con-
stable Flemming, and begged him
to arrest Pritchard. Mr.. Ulrich
told t'lemming that Pritchard was
armed; that he was desperate and that he
had said no one should arrest him. Flem-
ming went to the race track where Pritch-
ard was, went toward him and said: "How
are you, Sam?" to which salutation Sam
said: "How are you" Flemming then
said: "Sam, l have come to arrest you, -
and Sam said: "Not much" At the same
time he put his hand into his coat pocket
for pistol, and was moving up towards
Flemming, who pulled his pistol and shot

The wife and relatives of Pritchard are

Pritchard's body was broght to Silver
City to-day and inferred. The funeral
was largely attended. The coroner's jury
held an inquest yesterday at Oreana and
exonerated Flemming from blame. Pritch-
ards father-in law says he (Ulrich) is tc
blame for his taking off. F'lemming is
under arrest and will have preliminary
hearing at Silver City tomorrow. United
States Marshal Pinkham is now in Silver
City and will see that all facts are brought
out. Hou. G. G. Hays says sentiment il

A Raid ON Chicago GambIers.

CHICAGO. March 7.-One of the most ez-
teusive raids organized by the Chicago po-
lice department in years was made this
afternoon, when Chief of Detectives Shea
and twenty five officers surrounded the
premises z67 and 1863 Clark street and placed
$50 men under arresr. The establishment

Fosters interview with eoschen.

LONDON, March 7.-Secretary Foster, in
an interview to-day, said it was impossible
to disclose the nature of his conversations
with Goschen, perhaps they referred to
currency conference, but the matter was
not discussed at any length. He said il q
satisfactory basis was obtained he would
not hesitate to confer. Speaking of the
weakness of the bi-metallic section in Ger
many and the Austro-Huugarian project
to return TO gold, the secretary said:
I'VE are perfectly aware of these
difficulties, but L have been surprised to
ind so much interest taken in bi-metallism
in England and the extent to which public
opinion Is growing in favor Of the double
standard"
Foster said If Teller's Senate resolution
is carried it will be the Presidents duty to
call conference, but he could not vet say
whether there is a reasonable assurance
the call would De responded to.
Some of the English papers have repro
duced the substance Of the interview with
Foster Cabled to New York last week, and
in which the expression ''clam-mouthedn as
applied TO Irish immigrants, created much

LETTER CARRIERS.
The Court of Claims Decides the
Case of the Salt Lake Boys.
The Postmaster May Employ Them Between
Trips In Distributing Ma;l-0ver
lime Decided in Their Favor.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE court of
claims to-day rendered decision in what
is known as the letter carrier cases. In the
Salt Lake city case the carriers were en-
ployed six hours day getting their. letters
ready for delivery, and delivered them four
hours day, during the intervals dis
tributing the letters in the postoftice,
and one hour day or more in postoffice
work after their last carrier service was
performed. They sued under the eight
hour law for additional time. The court
decided the postmaster at Salt Lake
has the right to employ them in distribut-
ing between trips. As to employment
after their days work, the court expressed
grave doubt, but resolved in favor of the
carriers, leaving it to the supreme court to
correct the error if there was one.
The acting secretary of the treasury sent

of Sl20,7l for expenses for the board OF
