On the principle that living dog is

between the two biggest bells In the
world. the one at the cathedral In Mos

Mandalay. II the former was the big
ger OF the two. II was cracked. and
therefore useless ms a bell. while the
latter, though whole, had dragged It's

Now, however. II has been reswung.

bell. In working order. In the world.
In 1896 the Burmese community de-

NORTH POLE PASSED.
A Pigeon Carries Message Purporting TO
Come From Andree.

London, July PA special from Co.
penhagen says that carrier pigeon has
been caught in the vicinity of Tromsoe
island, near the north point of Norway
with the following stamped upon its
wings: "North Pole passed, fifteenth -
While Andree has had plenty of time
to reach the pole and the pigeons to re-
turn, some doubt may arise concerning
the genuineness of the above message,
from the fact that it lacks Andree's sig
nature. However, the conditions were
all favorable. and no one could carry a
joke so far as to send out bogus mes
sage about matter so serious.
Keen Interest in London
London, July. 22.-Keen interest is felt
in geographical circles here as to the re-
suit of Andree's polar expedition, and
this is greatly increased by the arrival
of the pigeons at Sorvde and at Tromsoe
island, though there is some doubt as to
whether either bird came from Andree.
1t is curious fact that the inscrip-
tions "142 w. 1859" agrees exactly with
the geographical location from which
the London experts believe they might
hear from Andree at about this time.
There is no special anxiety felt here as
to Andree's fate, because even if the bal
loon comes to grief, Andree will be no
worse of than Nansen was after leaving
the Fran.

TOOK HIS UNCLE'S MONEY.
Boy Under Arrest in Sanford for Robbing
Pastor of Sanford Catholic Church,
ESPECIAL TC THE PREss.I

Sanford, July 2s.-Willie Lamb, the 49,
year-old nephew of Rev. FIR. Dugree, the
pastor of the Catholic church in this
place, is under police espionage in Somers-
worth, N. H., charged with having en-
bezzled the sum of 1926 or more from his
uncle. Tuesday Father Dugree left the
place for a few days and left the boy in
sole charge of the house, his housekeeper
being away on a vacation. Wednesday
young Lamb took team and drove to
the station where he took a train west.
He left at the station small hand
satchel which said he would call for
later. The next that was heard of the boy
he was in Somersworth and spending
money SO freely and foolishly that he was
placed under arrest by the city marshal of
that place.
1t was found that he had about 5000 in
money on his person including a check
drawn by Rochester barber. The ex-
PLANTATION of the check was that the young
man had stopped at Rochester before 60
ing to Somersworth and that the barber
had given him the check in exchange for
the cash of which the boy seemed to have
plenty. The boy told the police authori-
ties who he was and an attempt to get
Fir. Dugree by telegraph was made but
failed. Deputy Marshal Parauette drove
to Sanford that night and arrived at 2
this morning.
An examination of the bag the boy had
left in the depot was made and it was
found to contain suit of clothes and $S
in five and ten cent pieces, as if he had
emptied the contents of contribution
box in the receptacle. Father Dugree re-
turned later in the day and went at once
to Somersworth. He thought the boy had
| obtained the money of his parents and
caused him to put it in the bank. When
he returned here he found that his desk
had been entered and about 1925 had been
taken. Where the boy got the rest of the
money he does not know. The boy s
parents live in Canada and he has been
living with his uncle about eight months.
| He returned from visit to his parents
only short time ago. He has been very
quiet since he has lived here, and has borne
good reputation. He had been drinking
some when he was arrested in Somers-
worth and took stranger whom he
found on the street into store and
bought him a suit of clothes. This was
what aroused the suspicion of the police
and caused his arrest. FIR. Dugree is very
| loath to prosecute the young man.

Terrific ClOud Burst Strikes Ohio
Town.
MANY PERSONS DROWNED AND
DAMAGE ENORMOUS.
Country Flooded For 20 Miles West
Water Up to Second Story of Houses
Cries of People Heartrending.


Youngstown, o., July AIT O'Clock
tonight terrific cloudburst struck this
town flooding the entire valley and caus-
ing great damage to property, both in the
city and along the railroad lines. Many
people are supposed to have been drowned
The entire country east and west for 20
miles was flooded and the damage will be
enormous,
Many residences here were flooded. All
the bridges are washed away in the Ma
honing valley. The Catholic church at
Niles was struck by lightning and nearly
destroyed by fire, while business houses
and manufacturing concerns were flooded
At 1890 o'clock came the first definite
information of the damage done by the
storm. Along Grab creek running into
| the city in the northeast along the Erie
and Lake Shore railroads and emptying
into the Mahoning river near the La ke
Shore depot cloud burst occurred about
10 miles. At 10 oclock the water swept
down the valley into the city, carrying
everything that was not fastened down,
before it. The bed of the creek was not
more than 90 feet wide, but the food
spread to width of about 1000 feet. 1t
rose quickly and in less than 80 minutes
the water was up to the second story
windows of all the dwelling houses in the
flooded districts and was still rising 1t
is certainty at IL O'Clock that none of
the people escaped from their houses.
= The whole district is in darkness except
in one lone place where an electric light
shown. Firemen, police and others were
on hand quickly but were powerless to
effect rescues. The cries of the people in
the houses were heartrending to those who
stood at the waters edge and were forced
to retreat on account of the rising waters.
1t is almost a certainty that many people
were drowned. One whole family were
heard crying for help from the upper
windows when suddenly there was
grinding noise as if the house was being
| moved from its foundations and soon the
| cries from that place ceased.
The intense darkness made it impossible
to see what was going on, but it is sup
posed that the house and its occupants
went down into the flood. People at the
waters edge heard man crying for help
who was apparently being carried down
in the flood. The voice grew fainter and
| it is supposed the unfortunate man
perished. Pitiful criesssfor help were heard
continually, but the crowd on the shore
could do nothing in the way of giving
aid.
