then the hurricane came on with a roar driving the rain i'll solid sheets before it. In an instant the streets in many parts of the city were filled with flying branches of trees, tin roofs were lifted from the houses and sent whirllng over chimney tops, knocking them down like ten pins, signs and fences and trees fell crushing out the lives of two men and iniuring others. Thunder and lightning kept up terrifying display while the rain continued to pour down for an hour
 The storm crossed Silver lake and the dam, unable to stand the strain of the flood behind it, gave way, turning Fin ley's hollow into 6 raging torrent and swelling Negley's run into river until it emptied into the Allegheny river near the Brilliant Pumping Station. When the hurricane reached Turtle creek it assumed the character of q cyclone doing untold damage. In tine oil fields the derricks were blown down. Sewickly, Coraopolis, Bellevue and McKee's Rocks suffered severely. In Millvale and Sharpsburg hail caused great havoc

THEIR JOKE WAS A FACT.
A Couple Marry In Fun, but Find
 Themselves Legally Tied.

Themselves Legally Tied.
 WARRENsBURa, Mo-, July 29.-While talking with a party of friends last week Blair Howard proposed as joke to Miss Lillie McLain that they get married. She consented but each supposed the other was testing. A friend was dis patched for license which was drawn up in due form. The wedding was an- nounced in the papers to take place at the residence of Rev. G. B. Curry, pas tor of the Sacred Heart church. At the appointed time the couple went to the residence, but Father Curry had several visitors and they did not remain. The next morning they went back and the ceremony YVES performed amid great deal of chaffing, the contracting parties still believing it to be joke.
 The bride and groom went about their ordinary duties and were no more to each other than friends. Last night MT. Howard desired to call upon friend and announced his intention at the Con- mercial hotel where he boarded Father Curry who was at the table accidentally heard it and informed the young man that he was legally married. He went to the home of the bride and the two are now living together

 WICHITA. Kan, July 29.-In lonely gulch several miles west of the village of Lacey ill the northern portion of Ok lahoma the regular mail stage was held up Monday afternoon by band of outlaws who rified the express and mail sacks, taking all the registered letters and the yaluables carried by the passen- gers in the coach There is little doubt that the robbery was the work of an or ganized gang of Bill Doolin, the con- demed murder and outlaw who escaped from the jail at Guthrie several weeks ago with dozen desperate robbers. A big force of United States marshals has been ill pursuit of the outlaws ever since their escape.

In his replies to these expressions hs earnestly advises all friends of the cause ill all parties to refrain from harsh crit- icism of those who, however widely they may differ, otherwise occupy common ground in describing the commercial restoration of free coinage of silver.

STORM AT PITTSBURG
Lives Are Lost and Immense
 Damage to Property.
HIGH WIND AND LIGHTNING.

Eighteen Persons Are Killed and Twelve
 In jured by Lightning-Roofs of Houses Blown Of and Some Buildings De-
 molished-Telegraph and Telephone
 Poles Snapped Like Pipestems
 PTTsBURG, July 29.-A storm of un- usual tierceness visited this city Mon- day night involving the loss of three lives and doing immense damage to property. Several dwellings were com pletely demolished and others were partly wrecked. Eight or ten churches had their roofs blown off and were oth- erwise damaged; telegraph, telephone and electric light poles were snapped like pipe stems, being twisted into an lnextrieable mass, making travel in many sections of the city impossible. Vivid lightning and high wind accom- panied the storm or rather two storms, for Pittsburg and Allegheny was the meeting point of two gales, one of which came up the Ohio valley from the west and the other from the east, which fol- lowed the course of the Allegheny river. In East Pittsburg and Wilmerding hail fell in large quantities, the stones being quite large.
 The rivers are now rising and another flood is expected. Among the casualties reported is an accident to the camp of the Eighth Ward Hunting and Fishing club of Allegheny, four miles up the Allegheny river. A large tree was blown upon the tent of the campers, killing John Figus, breaking the back of George Miller, who will die, and seriously injured Thomas O,Connell, Jacob Metz, Frank Ott and Harry Had dle.
 On Greenfield avenue, ill the east end, Joseph Ashffelder was killed by 8 sign being blown down on his head
 In Sharpsburg W. L. Norr was killed by the roof of house being blown down on him. A workman and young son of Professor Pool, who with party were digging i'll all old Indian mound at MeKee's Rock, were stunned by lightning and will probably die
 The result of the storm in property damage will probably reach $100,000. In Allegheny and the east end many houses were unroofed and windows broken. Reports from outlying towns tell of much damage to houses and other property, but no lives reported lost.
 In Allegheny twelve people were struck by lightning. They are ill the hospital and considered by the paysi- clans to be in critical condition.
 Ill Pittsburg reports of damage to property are still coming in. On Vest ern avenue two houses, machine shop and the Fifth United Presbyterian church were blown down and completely ruined. The Centenary M. B. church on Kirkpatrick street had it's roof and steep1e carried away. The roof of the John Wesley chapel A. M. E., was torn away and carried 200 feet.
 Returns from the different sections of the two cities show 25 or 30 people in- jured more or less by falling trees, roofs, signs, etc, but their names cannot be obtained.
 At West Newton, Pa, a big landslide on the Baltimore & Ohio road is re- ported.
