THE FATAL CLOUDBURSr Brings Death to Many
 Persons. Causes Great Destruction of
 Property.
It Carries Everything Before 1t in It's Fury Leaving Sadness and
 Damage in It's Wake.

PITTSBURG, Aug. 13.-The cloud burst at Dehaven this morning washed out everything between Sharpsburg and that town. Pine creek runs through the town and is a raging tor rent, filled with debris. Houses. bar rels, and nearly every conceivable ar ticle lodged against the railroad bridge at Aetna, where at noon the main streets were flooded to a depth of ten feet.
 The residents are now up on the hill sides where they fled early for safety. Sharpsburg and the surrounding low lands are under water and the rise is still spreading.
 Reports are coming in slowly and it is believed that the loss of life will be heavy.
 The entire valley of Pine creek, fully eight miles fn length, is completely devastated and many lives went out in the flood along the banks.
 This city and vicinity were deluged by the storm and the swollen streams have carried away bridges and many buildings. The streets are covered with debris and the car tracks are all blockaded. The damage is difficult of calculation.

NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-The heat, though not as intense as yesterday, still continues to an unibearable de- gree. The thermometer early this morning registered S3 as against S5 at the same time yesterday. This is accounted for in pant by the fact that quite a nice breeze was blowing from the northeast. Later on in the morn ing the thermometer rose to SS, the humidity showing 65 per cent.
 Up to 4 p. m. the police records showed thirty-two deaths and eight cen prostrations.
 The bureau of Vital statistics has issued statement covering from mid night on Saturday to noon today in which it is figured that there have been 1,200 deaths, fully one-half of which have been caused by the heat.
 Taking in New York, Brooklyn and the towns in New York and New Jer- sey immediately adjoining this city from August to d2, inclusive, there have been nearly 700 deaths and 1.27C prostrations

STEER DID TT.
Would Not Leave the Track and
 Wrecked the Train.

LINCOLN, Neb., Aug. 13.-Passen- grs on the delayed Billings, Montana, train at midnight, tell of a damaging wreck on that branch of the Burling- ton, forty seven miles this side of Sheridan, Wyoming.
 The train was running at a lively rate of speed when an obstinate Wy oming steer was encountered in a cut, opening out upon an embankment about twenty-five feet high The shock threw the engine, tender and every one of the four coaches off the track, making one of the nastiest look ing wrecks imaginable. Fortunately no one was killed. Engineer Tom Haley was badly bruised in the shoul- der and Fireman Shannon had his feet scalded. The passenger list was light and the casualties consisted of noth- ing more serious than bruises and joltings. The property damage is large and the passengers were obliged to wait twelve hours before the wreck was cleared away. With every cal demolished and the occupants piled in the wreckage, it is considered a mir acle that none were killed or badly in, i11rpd

He Greeted His Former Ruler by Tap ping His Shoulder.

He was visiting state fair at Stuttgart, the capital of Wurtemburg, when he met the royal personages anl without any ceremony stepped up and introduced himself as one of the kings former subjects. The king was inspecting one of the horticultural exhibits at the time and the first he knew of the pres enceI of a stranger was when MT. Sailer in true Democratic fashion, touched him on the shoulder, and lowing low introduced himself. The king was so thoroughly pleased with the manner in which MT Sailer made himself known that he grasped his hand warm ly, and then introduced him to the queen.
 The latter listened with close inter- est to MT Sailer's conversation with the king, which was principally in relation to the early days of the king dom. The Bridgeporter related the fact that he left home ir 1S4S, rhe time of the revolution, and that he has since been an American citizen. Oi course he still loved lhe cid home, and his visit to the SC '1ss of is rouln Was very enjoyable.

in his case against A. Redewills for riding a bicycle on the sidewalks in direct violation of the city ordinance. The case was called before Recorder Jobs yesterday afternoon and the court room was crowded. Attorney Thos. Flannigan represented MT. Redewill's s side of the case and City Attorney Evans the prosecution.
 Attorney Flannigan drew out Of Snead that he was born seventy-eight years ago in Virginia and his career was followed through Missouri to Ar izona., What brought you here?" Queried Flannigan. "A stage was the curt reply. 'FWhat business have have you been in since you came here?' Mostly loafing." "Well, how do you live, on the interest of your money?'' asked the attorney. 'fWell, can't say that I live on your money" retorted Snead. Well, what business are you employed in now?" sweetly asked the attorney. "Well, mostly sitting on my porch, and my eyes are not closed, either" Sharp and fast flew the ex- change of wit and sarcasm between the attorney and Snead and at last the latter got his dander up and the court room was kept in convrllsions by his remarks. It was adduced, how ever, that Snead was sitting on his porch looking for bicycle riders who
 violate the sidewalk ordinance when he spotted Redewill.. He ran into the street to remind Redewill of the ordi- nance and waited until the next morn ing to swear out the warrant He has
 an antipathy towards bicycle riders
 and keeps one eye constantly on the i watch.
 Redewill would not testify in his own behalf, so the recorder fined him the sum of S3.

FAMOUS FACES.

PITT had fiery red face and terrl- bic scoWl.
 PHILIP THE GREAT of Maeedon had large mole on his neck.
 HAYDN had 8 long nose, an almost h. variable pecularity of genins.
 TAsso's features were regular and pleasing, but he had 8 wild eye.
 CHARLES l. wore 8 pointed beard, ln the style known as the Vandyke.
 VEspAs1AN had large, red face, with high cheek bones and heavy chin.
 THE duke of Wellington had a great Roman nose and 3 stern, forblddlng face.

 Correct Measurement. Some six years ago there lived in the city of X-a rather eccentric old man, remarkable for his shrewdness who kept a pork shop. Three young fellows, thinking to have some fun with him, entered his shop one night and asked what his pork was a yard. The old man promptly replied: ''One dol lar." One of the young men then said 'I1l take a yard.'' Where is youl money?" said the old man. The dollar was laid down, which the old mar quickly pocketed, and then produced three pigs feet, with the remark "Three feet make one yard"

SAFE CRACKERS.
Attempt Made to Blow Open the Safe
 in City Treasurer's Office.

From indications there is every reason to believe that an attempt had been made to blow open the safe in the city treasurer's office. Yesterday morning on opening the safe the att tention of Mrs. Wood, deputy city tax collector, was attracted to burned spot below the crevice of the door. She opened the safe and saw dark, sticky substance. The substance, whatever it was, had not been there when she closed the safe the previous evening and her suspicious being aroused she scraped some of the stuff up and submitted it to Joe Porterie for analysis.
 Porterie found the substance to be nitro-glycerine, which flashed as soon as a match was applied. He says that the explosive had been injected between the erevices of the door with small syringe. The stuff failed to
 explode on account of the nitro glycerine becoming mixed with the
 varnish on the door, destroying the explosive properties. Another solu- ton he gives is that on investigation the burned spot in the door which showed where the cap had been placed
 was too far from where the nitrogen had been placed and when it was touched off failed to ignite. The fuminating cap had been showed in the crack and connected by a fuse, but the would-be robbers must have taken the fuse away when their attempt to blow open the scfe failed. The officers say
 there have been several suspicious
 looking characters in town the last few days and those people will be un-
 der surveillance. ItI is thought the burglars are the same parties that 1 robbed the Prescott postof1ice a couple
 of days ago.
