Purgatory Mills. He had a farm of over one

tinues as fiercely as ever throughout this
country with no signs of abatement. Every

Beechwood near Pottsville is idle and it is
not expected that it will be possible to work
even these three tomorrow : Galleries of the
Lehigh Coal company and all individual
operators are filed with water. The
damage to the collier.es and railways will
exceed 100000, and the Reading company
is the heaviest loser. On the Reading railroad
at least twenty bridges are lost or badly
damaged. besides much havoc with embank-
ments No mail train has passed here today
east or north 1t is impossible for the Reading
to run any trains on the William sp rt divis-
ion, as the line is broken on all sides. At
Tamaqua and at Gilberton, no trains
arrived over the Pennsylvania road from
the south since noon. The Schuylkill river
was never so high as now, and the turnpike
below here is flooded about three feet. Re-
ports of loss of life are coming in. John
Brown, aged seventeen. was drowned this
evening while trying to cross the creek at
Forestville. Edward Evans an old man, is
reported drowned near Hecasherville. A
big gypsy camp near fremont was washed
out today and several members are missing.
An abandoned mine drift on Sharp
mountain near here is filled with sulphur
water. This augmented by heavy floods
from the mountain caused the drift to
break and large body of water dashed
down the mountain side taking with it a
small dam. The water all rushed into the
grounds surrounding the mansion of Mrs. F.
P kerscher and flooded the cellar and
ground floor. The elegant furniture and

dressed to the high ground.
The Lincoln bridge is guarded by police,
who permit no one to cross, as the structure
is being battered fercely by floating logs
and debris, and is in imminent danger of
being washed from it's foundations. A,frame
building at the bridge approach was swept
away shortly after 2 o'clock, and other
buildings are tottering.
A loss of life was occasioned by the
caying of an embankment upon which were
several freight cars. Three box cars went
down into the river. In one of them were
five tramps sleeping. Three escaped and
two were drowned. Their names are not
known.
The damage by the food in Johnstown
and Altoona is placed at $3.50, 600. Owing to
the many washouts along the railroad it is
not thought that through traffic can be re-
sumed before some time.

Say He Offered Brides.
THE INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE
BEGINS ITS WORK.

Major Buttz Asks To Be Allowed the Priv
ilege of Cross Examining Witnesses
He Is Informed that the Committee Is
Sitting Behind Closed Doors-Other
ment of Tariff Talk-Messrs. PETER,
Hale and Vest on Iron.
Washington, May 21-The special COM
mittee appointed to investigate the
charges of bribery alleged to have been
attempted by Major Buttz and to con-
slider the doings Of the Sugar Trust in
connection with legislation, met this
morning. The first witness was Senator
Hunton, who told the story as hereto
fore published. Major Buttz was sum-
moned to appear this morning. Mr..
Buttz asked that he be permitted to be
present and hear other witnesses and
ross-examine them in an informal man
ner. He was told the committee was
investigating the case behind closed
doors. Major BUTTE then reduced his
demand to writing through his attorney,
ex-Congressman MCGOWAN of Michigan,
and served it upon the chairman of the
committee, insisting that it was his right
as the accused person to be present by
counsel and have his interests protected.
Senator Hunton left the committee
room at 1130. He declined to make any
statement.
Senator Kyle was the next witness
The fact that a direct offer of money
was made has been proved by one wit
ness at least. According to the state
ment of the chairman of the committee,
Mr.. Hunton knew nothing except by
hearsay evidence, and told the commit
tee what he learned from his son.
Theodore Hunton, Jr., his son, was put
on the stand and told how he was ap-
proacned by Major Buttz and offered
money if he would induce his father to
vote against the pending tariff bill.
Mr.. Kyle was on the stand longer than
any one else. and developed that an
offer to bribe had been made to him
directly by the man charged with the
offence. Senator Kyle testified that
Mr. Buttz offered him money for his
vote, saying he could have SIS, 600, and
made an offer of $14, 900 down.

Representatives Declare the Upper House
: Extravagant.
Washington. May 21.-The House in
committee of the whole proceeded to the
consideration of the legislative, executive
and judicial appropriation BILL Mr..
Dearmond, Democrat, of Missouri, offered
an amendment reducing the appropria-
tion for the pay of the employees of the
Senate from $417, 25s to $3.50, He said
it was absurd to suppose that the Sem
ate, with 88 members, needed the service
sc of S03 employees, while the House,
with 356 members, was able to get along
with 300. The amendment was not
agreed to. Mr.. Dearmond offered an
amendment to strike out the extra ap-
preparation of $500 year for the Office
of assistant door keeper of the Senate as
long as it was held by Isaac Bassett,
and this was agreed to.
Mr.. Hepburn, Republican, of Iowa,
N calling attention to the fact that the
appropriations made in the bill averaged
SIG, 49, per annum for each Senator and
SS,074 for each Representative, asked the
gentle man in charge of the bill to ex-
plain why this discrimination was made.
Mr.. Dockery, disclaiming the correct
ness of Mr.. Hepburn's calculations said
that while he believed the expenditures
of the Senate were without justifica-
tion, that body always claimed the
right to regulate its own internal expen-
ditures, and in every contest with the
House on that point for 100 years had
always won, and always wou Id win.
. . Mr.. Dingley explained that where the
House contended for any matter within
it's internal administration, the Senate
always gave way.
An amendment offered by Mr.. Hayes,
Democrat, of Iowa, declaring it the
sense of the House that section 40, Re-
vised Statutes, which requires the offic-
ials of the House to deduct from mem
bers' pay the amount due for ssdays on
which they are absent for other reasons
than sickness, should be repealed, was
discussed for two hours and carried
ayes, 11S; nays, 4.
Having disposed of is pages of the bill,
the committee rose and the House adj
journed.
