The weather bureau officials report
1.77 inches Of rainfall during the fifty
minutes which the storm lasted. one
inch of this amount falling in the first
twenty minutes Of the storm. The
Storm coming so early in the evening

narrow escapes are reported.

WIS wrought Every house on the
north side of Butler street from Forty
eighth street east was flooded, many

ferry stone wall which abuts the street
INST inside the wall, which is ten feet
high. is the opening of a large sewer
which drains what is called Cemetery
Run. The sewer mouth soon clogged
with rocks and the water flowed over
its opening on to the wall, undermin-
ing it. When the wall gave way the
food rushed down TO the houses below,
filing them to a depth of four feet on
the first floor. The loss at this point
will be many thousands of dollars. The
citizens Traction line for nearly two
miles was under water for a long time
and much Of it is ruined.
In Allegheny, Perrysville avenue was
hooded from one end to the other, I'M
dermining the new street railway, rem

SEWALL AT HOME.
GIVES HIS FRIENDS AN ACCOUNT
OFF THE CONVENTION.
The Very Air Seemed to Be Perme-
ated With the Spirit of Patriot
ism, and Politics Found But Lit

BATH, Maine, July 15-Arthur Sc
wall, candidate for vice-president,
had his homecoming tonight, and it
was of the warmest sort. The formal
welcome was entirely non-partisan- AS
the special train bearing Mr.. Sewal
came into the city at 7:15 fire works
were profusely burned, the church and
fire bells rung and national salute fir
ed by big guns. Thousands of people at
THE people were provided with horns and
the vocal dweicome made a din greater
than ever heard here before. Mr.. Sc
wall was met at the depot platform by
Hon. H. F. Twitchell, president of the
city council, Mayor Bibber having
been unexpectedly called away. In re-
spending to a short welcoming address,
Mr.. Sewau said:
ct is fitting and you do not ex-
pect me at this time to make a long
speech. We have had a convention and
it is of that l would speak to you. 1t
was a great convention, yet it did not
seem to me to be partisan one. 1t
seemed more like the uprising of the
people and they seemed to be controlled
by one idea-an idea that has filled me
for years. ,r-.
Those in attendance upon that con-
Venuon knew this country is IN deep
distress; that it has been in distress
for years and that great multitudes are
suffering. l believe the great trouble
is with our monetary system, and they
believe as l believe, that there is but
one remedy The members of the con-
Vention entertain no dishonest or dis
honorable ideas, but they demand that
we be carried back to the money of our
fathers, to that monetary system under
which this government fiourished for
SO many years"

LEADVILLE, Colo, July 15.-Durins
a terrible thunder storm in the noun
tains west of this city today, five men
were struck by lightning and all are
now in the hospital here, three prob
ably fatally injured.
The men composed a section crew
on the Colorado Midland railroad, and
were working near Thomasville, flag
station thirty-two miles from Lead
vile. Heavy rain drove them TO shell
ter, which two of them found under
large rock near the track, the other
three getting under a giant pine. Soon
there came a binding fash and the
great tree was riven to splinters. The
three men under it were stricken as
with death, while the two under the
rock nearby were shocked and
stunned, but soon recovered conscious
ness and were able to summon as
sistance. They found threa blackened
trunks, from which all the clothing had
been torn; but there being signs of
life, the three unfortunates were taken
to Thomasville and a special train
with physicians from here were soon
at the scene and they were brought to
this city.

WASHINGTON, July Ex-senator
Jones of Arkansas, chairman of the
Democratic national committee, was at
the. capital. today in conference with
Senator Harris of Tennessee on var
ious matters connected with the prose-
cution Of Mr.. Bryan's candidacy. He
said that the executive committee prob
ably would not be appointed for ten
days yet.
The senator, when asked about the
life tenure of Office plank, concerning
which there has been some question,
said it was actually adopted as a
part of the platform, but that clause
except as otherwise provided by the
constitution of the United States" need
ed to be added to the plank, these
words having formed part of it as
adopted, but having been left out of
the stenographic verbatim copy of the
proceedings, owing TO a mistake.
Senator Jones said today that he ia
vors locating the national headquarters
in Washington, but that it will be for
the committee to decide that point In
case Washington is determined upon,
a large building, centrally located, Will
be taken for campaign work. He said
that he could give no intimation as to
the personnel of the executive commit
tee until he has conferred with several
gentlemen. Among the names gener-
ally mentioned are those of Senator
Harris of Tennessee; Senator Turpie of
Indiana; Governor Stone of Missouri
and Mr.. Hinrichsen of Illinois, who
organized the silver movement up to
the time of the convention.
The name OF Governor Stone has been
mentioned as chairman of the execu-
tive committee, but it is feared his du-
ties as Governor might prevent his
assuming the responsibilities of the
laborious position. Chairman Jones win
see that all sections of the country are
represented on the executive commit
tee.

SECOND DAY OF COLE.

SOUTHAMPTON. N. Y, July 15-Many
of the golfers who attended the second
days meeting of the United States Golf
associations second meeting tat the Shin
necock Hills club links thought last year
champion Blair Mcdonald would come
out of the second trials today with a
good margin to his credit. The western
man did not come up to his partisan's ex-
pectaions, and his championship honors
won at Newport last year faded away
when j. G. Thorpe, of the Cambridge
Golf club beat him out with a score of
three holes and two play. The New Eng
land man went around the eighteen holes
in eighty-one strokes. Mcdonald was
only one behind. however, making the
eighteen holes with eighty-two strokes.
He came home in thirty-eight while
Thorpe took forty-one. H. j. Whigham of
Chicago succeeded in beating L. 2. Bay
ard of New Jersey by a score of two in
eight and in the first which followed he
won from H. P. Sweeney, st. Andrews

smashed all amateur records for this
course by making eighteen holes in

THE SILVER CONVENTION.
Kansas People VIII Undoubtedly
Endorse Rryan-

TOPEKA, Kan, July 15.-Nearly 100
delegates have arrived tonight to at
tend the free silver state convention
which convenes here tomorrow. The
silver leaders are much elated tonight
over the appearance Of John r. Foster,
president of the First National bank
OF Garrett, a Republican, at the head
of the Anderson county delegation. Sew
eral other prominent Republicans will
also be in attendance. It is fairly GER
tain that the convention will instruct
its delegates to the St. Louis conven-
ton to vote for the endorsement Of
BRYAN. It is conceded that every Re
publican who takes part in tomorrow
convention intends to bolt Mckinley
and the st. Louis platform, and it is
thought the convention may furnish
some indication of the probable strength
of the free silver bolt from the Re
publican ranks.

MnninnIntinr TICKETS.

CHICAGO. July Ian attempt to
manipulate the tickets to the meeting
of the Baptist Young Peoples Union
at Milwaukee has been discovered and
it is feared that 1T will to a very con-
siderable extent demoralize the market.
When the arrangements were first
made for the event it was agreed that
the return portions of all the tickets
sold at reduced rates must be certified
by the joint agent at Milwaukee. Now
it is reported that agents of certain
roads have been advising purchasers
thar they can have the return portion
of the tickets certified at Chicago with
out going near the joint agent at Mil
waukee. If this is done, it will make
the tickets available for general busi-
ness and make them easy for the brok-
ers to manipulate.
