passenger coaches and two mail cars.
An hour before freight train safely
passed over the point where the acci-

washed out the culvert. There was
nothing to warn the engineer of dan
ger, and the train rushed on the dan
gerous place at full speed. The sup
ports OF the culvert had been weakened, j,
but the rails were in place. When the
train reached the fatal pitfall, the en-
gine plunged downward with terrific
force. Engineer Ames Griffin, of Elk
hart, and Fireman Roach went down
with the engine, and were crushed to
death in the wreckage. They had no
opportunity to jump, the wreck oc-

PITTsBURG, Pa, August 13.--The
darkness that lowered over Pittsburg
about 8 O'Clock this morning was
scarcely ever surpassed. For short
time the business part of the city was
almost as dark as midnight and not
few timid people were appalled, at the
unnatural spectacle. This was fol-

terrifying and by heavy rainfall
which continued until noon. All over
the city the sewers were filled to over.

were brought to standstill. Aside
from this no serious injury to life or
property is reported here. AT the
hamlet Of Dehaven seven miles from
the city, six lives are known
to be lost while twelve people
are missing and much damage to prop
erty is sustained. Pine creek and other
small streams in the vicinity of De
haven quickly became torrents, sweep
ing everything before them. The APP
pleton residence was completely
wrecked, and the father, mother and
four children were carried with the
wreckage into the Allegheny river.
Dwellings,, stables, fences and many
domestic animals were carried off by
the rushing waters. When the storm
subsidized, rescuing forces were organ

be in the vicinity where the worst dam
age was done, cannot be found, and it
is probable that their names will go
toward swelling the list OF fatalities.
