sons were drowned in the food Monday
night. Seven Of these met death at
Cecil, mining and oil hamlet in WASH
ington county, the eighth victim going
down at Carnegie Samuel Mckinney
kept boarding house at Cecil for the
accommodation OF oil men and miners.
The house was situate on the bank OF
Miller's run, u tributary Of CHARTERS
creek. Ordinarily the run, which flows
through a valley banked by high and
steep hills, would scarcely float chip,
but last night cloudburst filed In its
closely confined quarters to such an ex-
tent that everything along its banks
was endangered.
There were 10 people in the McKin-
ney home when the water commenced
to rise at $3.50 p. m, but no serious
danger was apprehended and the men
busted themselves carrying the house,
hold goods to the second floor and the
female portion Of the household con-
tinued their dressing for the dance
which was being held in a neighboring
hall. Suddenly the house, two
story frame, was washed from its
foundation into the seething waters
and rapidly carried down stream.
1t was then too late for anyone
in the house to escape. Below the
site Of the house about 200 yards stands
an old-fashioned country bridge,
which spans the stream. The house
crashed against this structure, the roof
was torn off and the rest Of the build
ing was crushed like an egg shell in
being forced under the bridge. Hig-
gins and William Whitner were caught
between the first and second floors.
Higgins died there, but Whitner made
q most miraculous escape. Those on
the second floor were badly squeezed.

THREE YEARS FOR A WHEEL,
A Long Sentence Imposed on n Bicycle

Long Sentence Imposed ON n Bicycle
Thief.
Wheelmen who were in the Criminal
Court yesterday were very much delighted
when they heard Judge Cole impose a SEN
tence Of three years in a case involving the
theft Of bicycle. The courts. the wheel
men think, have really encouraged bicycle
thieves because Of the mild sentences that
have been imposed and yesterday before
John Beverly. colored. was sentenced for
the theft of wheel belonging to Oscar
W Wells, Detective Boardman furnished Dis
trict Attorney Birney with the book show
ing the bicycle thefts during the year end
ing July l. This record showed that 10
wheels had been stolen and about 100 re-
covered. The records of the department
also showed the number of light sentences
imposed. District Attorney Brney realized
more fully than ever before the extent to
which this business had been carried on and
Judge Cole imposed the penalty stated.
hoping 1t would have a deterrent effect on
others. This sentence was also pleasing to
the police, for much of their time is spent
| In the Investigations of these cases, and the
imposition Of light Jail sentences, they say,
has the effect of giving the thieves an op-
portunlty to repeat the offense in too short
a time.
