FATAL FLOOD NEAR PITTsBURG.
Six People Dead and Thousands of Dol
lars in Property Destroyed.

PITTsBURG, Aug. 14.-Yesterday this
city and vicinity was visited by one of the
heaviest and most persistent downpours
Of rain that has been seen here for years.
1t carried death and destruction with it,
and as q result six lives were sacrificed
and thousands of dollars worth Of prop
erty laid to waste.
The dead are Mrs. Susan Auld widow,
nged "A; Mrs, Ellen Poppleton, widow,
aged 80; Mrs. Florence Robinson, her
daughter, aged "a; Omiel SchafTer, aged
10 years; Martin Corcoran, infant; un-
known man.
FOR an our the downpour was terrific.
1t then let up slightly, and in three hours
2.A inches had fallen, 1.SO Of this being
precipitated during the first hour
A torrent of eighteen feet came rushing
down and struck the Robinson residence
with terrible force, carrying it from its
foundations and topping 1t over into the
swirling flood. The house, collapsing as
it was carried along, was lodged against
some willows along the bank and the oc-
cupants, who had chung with desperation
to the ruins, were enabled by superhuman
efforts to make their escape to land-all
except the three women mentioned above.
DeHavcn, a small oil town on the Pitts
burg and Western railroad, about ten
miles from here, had to bear the brunt
Of the storms fury, and it was there most
of the lives We're lost. The little town OF
600 inhabitants is situated in u valley just
at the junction of two creeks, and every
heavy storm fills these creeks and floods
portions of the place. When the storm
burst the house of James Robinson was
made a place Of refuge by ten people. OF
this number three women were drowned.
Little Martin Cochran was in bed sick
with scarlet fever when the lood entered
hisfather's house. The shock and exposure
brought his life to an end within an hour
or two.
Omiel Schaffer was standing on the
Pittsburg and Western bridge at Sharps-
burg, with thousands of others, watching
the high waters. He attempted to catch a
piece of driftwood, lost his balance and
was caught by the torrent and hurled int
eternity.
The other victim was IN unknown mar
whose body was seen floating down G al
Head creek past De Haven.

why Bryan Read HIs speech.

NEW YORK, Aug. l4-Hon.W j. Bryan

He said: knowing that it would be
printed in full l thought it more impor-
tant that it should reach in correct form
the millions who will read 1t than that the
delivery should please the few thousands
who were present. 1t is always %unfortu-

thought II best not TO risk the errors which
always creep into the report of an extern.

Oscar Hugo Weber died at the county

and sentenced to death, the sentence was
never imposed, because of the belief that
the prisoner was insane. Governor Beaver
