MEADvILLEALsO SUFFERS.
The Whole Business Portion of the
 City Demolished.


 MEADvILLE. Pa June 5.-This entire section was swept by the worst flood in its history last night. A mid day rain of great volume swelled every stream bank full, and the storm which followed in the evening brought the flood. In this city Mill Run overfowed and swept the whole business portion of the city, demolishing dozen or more buildings and entailing Q total loss of $50, ,000, of which half the amount is on the streets. The loss throughout the country cannot be estimated. Bridges were washed away in every direction, leav- ing scarcely passable any roads in the county. The damage to growing crops is heavy. No casualties are reported here The loss of the New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio road in their eastern division is heavy in bridges and tracks.

As there was no fire department the flames had their own way, and soon they burned through the rows of frame buildings for mile in the narrow gulch in which the town is situated Many houses were blown up with giant powder in an for the flames leaped from one vacant space to another and only stopped for want of material TbeTe are a hynd2s % os Ssmiiiss n". %ese sAfsa sn, they will be provided for by the people of Creede While the fire was in progress the numerous sa- looms were thrown open to the crowd and liquor was free to all who desired 1t.

would probably have killed him if
it had not been for me and II neigh
Dor. After eight O'clock this NOR

he was Il better man than he was,
and threatening him and others.
Would draw a chair TO strike, and
offered to strike me and we had to
take it away from him. At noon

he said he did not want anything.
| got him to take II little coffee.
He then came in the room again
and hit John with his fist on the
arm and swore he was going to
kill the whole family. Then he
opened his knife and swOre he
would commence on him first. He
was swinging the knife and ran at
him with it open. John ran out of
his way and whirled around and
shot him with the pistol. did not
know he had it till he shot him. l
can't tell how many shots, but |
think it was two or three times.
| was so scared and excited can

get the pistol. There were no 9th

hurt them.

A SENATOR YEARS AGO.
A Man Who Served Three Different Stat.
and Territories In Congress.

and Territories In Congress.
One Of the most notable appearing men on
the Senate floor during the Barbour services
Monday was unknown to most Of the persons
present. He looked like man Of sixty years or
thereabouts and was personally as spruce as one
half that age.
''Who is that elderly gentleman?" asked Sem
ator Henderson OF Senator Sherman.
The Ohioan looked at him scrutinizingly for
a little while and then replied: ''Why, that man
was in the Senate when I entered public life
thirty years ago. That is ex-senator Jones OF
Iowa"
Introductions followed and In the course Of
the Consequent conversation the venerable
Iowan revealed the comparatively unknown fact
that he was the first Senator ever elected BY that
state. 1t furthermore became apparent that he
had also been the first delegate from the terri
tory of Wisconsin and that he had also been
delegate to Congress from the territory Of
Michigan.
IF you will not regard the question as i'm
pertinent" said Senator Manderson, II would
ask you your age" !
And when the ancient legislator said eighty
nine there was no more surprised man in the
chamber than the Senator from Nebraska. :
Senator Jones first came to Washington to
Congress in 1888. /

AN AMATEUR HANGMAN.
A Young Boy Who Made an Almost Spc'
csssful Experiment With . Moose.

A Young Boy Who Made An Almost Sac
cessful Experiment With . Moose.
II was almost tragedy; it Would have been
but for little girl Yesterday afternoon tso
boys were playing in the rear yard Of a house
near the junction of New Jersey and Rhode
Island avenues. One of the boys is about ten
years Of age; the other but for sisterly inter-
ference would have been catalogued a. q four
year-old in today's mortusry column Of TxK
STAR. Just how the affair originated is not
generally known. Perhaps the big boy was
tired Of hearing people say that no one was
ever hung in the District Of Columbia, perhaps
he had exhausted his knowledge Of harmless
amusement. perhaps the vicious strata Of his
nature had worked its way to the top, but 1t Is
certain that he succeeded In getting q rope
around his playmate's neck. 1t is also true that
when the moose was frightened the victisp
screamed. but his rapidly diminishing vocal
efforts attracted no attention. After awhile his
sister, who WAS in the house, heard him
moan, and when abe looked out saw that
an execution had been almost cousummsted.
Then she had quite struggle before the exc
cutioner would let 60 his end Of the rope, but
she succeeded. much to the indignation OF the
amateur hangmsn, who, because bis father is =
police officer, claimed some special privileges.
Today the four year-old has a new lease on life,
but his neck is very sore and the rope marks
are easily visible.
