You are wrong
Your equation's but falacy- e
Simple bosh--just rot, pure rot; -
Your values legal fiction,
Which in fact existeth not.
You may melt ten golden dollars,
ain the aforesaid melting pot,
And the "value" that remaineth.
From use resulteth not,
But the TACT that You can take
The "slug" and have it coined free,
Into ten. more golden dollars,
Gives it value" don't you see?
: And without the right of coinage,
Legal "value" to impart,
Silver dollars melted, only
"Sell'for value in themart.
So, then, I'll kindly tell you,
Those dollars unequal are,
Because by law-by act of law
You give to one q scar.
If you'll treat those metals just alike,
And put them on an equal plane,
When you meltt ten dollar coins of each,
An equal value will remain.

Last Wednesday evening was an
e9entfil one to our genial night switch
man at Wadsworth Mr.. Fred Wamsley.
Itlwas the meeting of an old and dear
friend Mr.. Rex, Seymour, with whom
he spent a very pleasant hour, enter
tanning and being entertained, as they
talked of past episodes pleasure was
sincere, laughter strong and potations
frequent.
At Camp "a the water spout of the
tank knocked Dan Dynan down and the
flood of water kept him down till rescued
by his partner Edwards. This will give
his biographer the one and only oppor-
tunity to say that Dan took water.
From present indications and the
unanimity with which the delegates all
over the county express themselves it il
is more than probable that the Popu-
lists and the Republicans will fuse on
the county ticket.

Pike Creek Has Now Become
a Raging Torrent.
Houses, Oil Tanks and Other Big
Structures Swept Away.
People at Etna Driven 10 The Hillside for
Safety From The Flood.

PITTsBURo, Pa, Aug. 13 There was a
cloudburst at Dehaven, a small town near
the Wildwood oil field, about $50 O'Clock
this morning and six people are reported
drowned. Definite information is meagre
as everything is washed out between
Sharpsburg and Dehavcn.
The town OF Dehaven has several
hundred inhibitants and is situated
about six miles north OF Allegheny city.
where Pike creek has overfowed its
banks and is raging torrent. Houses,
oil tanks, barns and outbuildings are fall
ing down and have lodged against the
Pittsourg and Western railroad bridge at
Etna. The water Is rising rapidly and at
IL o'clock there were eight feet OF water
on the main street Of that place. The
residents are moving to the upper stories
of their houses or seeking safety OF the
hillside.
The Dehaveu bridge was washed away
and the Pittsburg a. Western bridge at
sharpsburg is expected to go at any
time. The low lands OF Sharpsburg are
now under water and the flood is spread
ing rapidly.
Confirmation of the loss of six lives
by the cloud burst at Dehaven was receiv-
ed at the coroner's Office at noon, but
particulars and names are not given.
Within an hour there was "a rainfall OF
two inches. Great damage is reported
from all parts OF this city, but no fatsli
ties. Every street car line was tied up
and heavy washouts are reported on
number of the railroads entering Pitts
burg. The water is now subsiding at
Shsrpsburg.
Late reports from the Pine Creek Valley
indicate that the less OF life from the
cloud burst will be very heavy. At l2:40
p. m. thirty lives were reported lost.
The whole Pine Creek Valley, eight miles
in length, Is devasted. At Dehaven an
entire family by the name of Appleton
were drowned. How many were in the
family is not known. Among the others
W ho lost their lives were:
MRS. THOMAS BYRNEs.
MRS. THOMPSON.
Three bodies have, been recovered so
far.
AT Etna, the water rose so rapidly that
the employees at Spang, Chalfant & Com
pany's iron mills were compelled to swim
to save their lives. The foundry of
Walter Watkins was also flooded and the
workmen narrowly SO ped drowning.

TO THE REFORM SCHOOL
Little Jimmie Ward Sent There by
the Court Today.
He Roamed About the City Yesterday
Clothed Only In Nighigown.

Jimmy Ward, bright, good-natured,
and what most OF people would call a
pretty lad, was arrayed in an unbleacneo
cotton night dress nearly all>day yester-
day, and until o'clock this morning,
when he was arraigned before Judge
Sweetiand on the charge of being vag-
rant and was sent to the reform
school during minority.
Jimmy is about years old, and is said
to be without a vicious trait, but owing
to the fact that he is the victim of sad
circumstances. he has become somewhat
restless. His father is said TO be worth
less being, and is at present working In
rum shop in East Providence, for which
he receives what he wants to drink, q
place TO sleep and q bit to eat. Mrs.
Ward is, and has been for some time, a
very sick woman, and as long as possible
held her family OF five children together,
but she was at last obliged to give up,
and was taken to st. Josephs Hospital
in q critical condition.
About four week ago Overseer of the
Poor Cummings took charge OF the
children and placed them in the orphans
asylum on Prairie avenue. All seemed
content there but Jimmy who ran away
a number of times. lie was picked up
by the police and returned to the home.
Yesterday morning he ran away again
and was picked dp by Mr.. Cummings,
who took him to the charity building
on Fountain street. Mr.. Cummings then
took the little fellows clothes off. and
gave him a night gown TO wear, and al
lowed him the use of the yard In the rear.
He then sent word to the home to call
for the LAD, but when the messenger
from that institution arrived at the
charity building Jimmy was nowhere to
be found. He had climbed the 10-foot
wall, and had made his escape, clad only
in the nightgown. MIR. Cummings
notified d the several police stations, and
at 6 O'Clock last night the boy was found
in an alley not far from the ChafIee
street station, playing with other
children. In that particular locality a
child being on the street in its night
gown did not attract much attention
especially at this time OF year.
Jimmy was taken to the station, loaded
into the patrol wagon, and guarded by
a patrolman was taken to the charity
building, and MIR. Cummings succeeded
In keeping him until he was srraigned in
court this morning, when he was sent
TO reform school during minority.

DULUTH, Mimi, Aug. i2-Comptroller
OF the Currency Ecklos has arrived in
Duluth from the Nipegon River. He
has been fishing in the Lake Superior

He said: al think tho nomination OF a

say OF Senator Palmer OF Illinois, but II
no nomination is made, would favor
the support of Mckinley by sound mon
oy Democrats. The money question Is
the great issue and the Republican plat

FORESTERS AT SHORE.
Excursion OF the Local Bodies to
Crescent Park.
Made a Parade and We're Reviewed by
Mayor McGuinness.

The heat aid let up little bit today,
and every Forester in the State says 1t
was all on account OF the annual excur-
sion OF the order. and out of compliment
TO Colonel James IL. McGann, chief
marshal and his tine appearing staff, all
OF whom looked as pretty as pictures in
their new duck trousers.
The mum Der of men in the parade was
about 500, but the hot weather, in the
opinion OF the chief marshal and his aids,
prevented the number of men being 1900.
The line was fine one, and 1t moved
with military precision, and the gay trap
pings OF the uniform rank and the
shepherds won general admiration. ana
there was plenty OF good music. The
route OF march was shortened on account
of the weather ana was from Market
square, through Westminster street to
the city hall, through Dorrance, Wesmin-
ster, Mathewson, Weybosset and Dyer to
the boat. At city hall Mayor McGuinness
and the bers of the City Z 'uncil
reviewed the procession. The make up OF
the line was as follows: Platoon OF
police; Chief OF staff jams II. Padin; !;
mem bers of chief Marshall MsGanns'
staff, L. w. Burke, Frank McGough,
C. Msckey, Samuel 4. McQusde, James
McGough, Bernard j. NsDgol, Ed carter,

man, Flower Of Dexter, WoodlawD, Love
and Truth, Liberty, Bellevue and Central.
The men and officers OF the order took
the IL O'Clock boat for Crescent Park,
and when they arrived there they began
to enjoy the many pleasures furnished
by manager Boyden. They had been pre-
ceded on the grounds by many hundreds
of cxcursionists, who had gone down on
the earlier boats. The crowd continued
to increase in size all day, and there
have been few occasions on which so
many clans were disposed of as there
were at Manager Boyden's during the
day. On every hand the fine appearance
of the staff during the parade was COM
mented upon.

THE WRIT WAS SERVED.
Deputy Sheriff Coates Had a Lively Time
on Stampers Street.


on Stampers Street.
Deputy sheriff Coates had a lively tussle
with colored man named George Paine,
about 40 years OF age, in Stampers street
last night. The deputy faced death for a
few moments, but owing to his strength
and dexterity.he is alive and well today.
lie said it was warm exercise on warm
night, but he thinks he is lucky man
to escape with a slight scratch on his
hand.
But you ought 10 see the other fellow,
remarked the deputy.
Mr.. Coates went to the Stampers street
house to serve writ of replevin on some
furniture in Paine's possession. AS soon
as Paine saw the officer he made a dash
for him with the leg of black walnut
stand. 1t was vicious looking weapon
in the hands OF Paine, but before he could
land blow from his heavy club the
deputy took il away from him. lie then
tried TO use a heavy ham mer, and fall
ing he continued the assault with cot
ton hook. All the implements OF punish
ment were t.ken from him, and the col
ored man is very much the worse from
wear and tear this morning. The writ
was served.

Mr.. Gardiner c. Sims Says
His Concern Is Sound.
A Creditor of the Company
Takes an Opposite View.
Says II Could Probably Pay Fifty
Cents on the Dollar.

At IL o'clock tomorrow forenoon there
will be a meeting of the stockholders OF
the Arlington q Sims Engine Company
which has been called for the purpose OF
discussing the future policy OF the con-
cern. Mr.. Gardiner {. Sims was at the
works on Kingsley avenue all OF the fore
noon and made the following statement
to- NEWS reporter: The engine COM
pany is not insolvent and has no idea
OF Offering a settlement. The Armington
Il Sims Company have more than enough
property to pay every dollar that 1t owes.
The company mas more business at
present than at any time since Deccm-
pcr 81, 1894. There are 80 men employed
at the shops now, and there are orders
on hand for 81, 900 worth of work.
The concern is capitalized at 1852, 500
and has been incorporated for l3 years.
The notes are held by five OF the local
banks-the Merchants National, Globe
National, City, Old National and Ameri-
can. These banks have decided to allow
an extension.
There are but two creditors outside of
these BANKS, and the ey:ent OF the obliga-
tions to one Of them is but $685.
What trouble there may be is accounted
for by the state of the late Henry [.
Cranston's affairs. Mr. Cranston was
treasurer of the Armington & Sims Com
pany and held for It deposit OF si3, 500
go. He also had 160 shares OF its capital
stock and he held Its demand notes for
$1,000.
ANOTHER VIEW OF THE CASE.
One of the creditors claims that the
Armington & Sims Company owes S27, ,0O0
to the Cranston estate and that the to-
tai amount OF the indebtedness is S3S1, :
600, of which $4,000 Is on mortgages.
II Is estimated that the company could
pay so cents on the dollar II 1t was
forced to settle up at the present time.
The wealthy stockholders OF the con-
cern are Rowland Hazard, John w.
Danielson and Ex-Governor Royal G.
Taft. 1t is common talk among tho
creditors that these gentlemen show no
disposition TO tide the concern over the
present difficulties, but there is tend
cncy to attribute the cause of the trouble
to the financial administration of the late
treasurer, Mr.. Henry Z. Cranston.
