On Saturday King Victor Emmanuel
III took the formal constitutional oath
before the Italian parliament.
News. brought from Australia by the
steamer Aorangi is to the effect that ter
rible floods occurred in New South
Wales during July, as Il result of which
some hundreds of people were rendered
homeless, WHALE the property loss was
enormous.
The provincial government of British
Columbia has announced that ii will op-
pose granting a charter for a railway

Is in dispute between Canada and the
United States and the line would parallel
the White Pass railway.
A special from Managua, Nicaragua,
says that the Eyre-Cragin syndicate's

DEATH IN STORM.
Fourteen Killed In New York and
Vicinity.


New York, Aug 13.-One of the most
disastrous summer storms New York has
experienced in years swept over the city
yesterday afternoon, leaving death and
wreckage in its wake. 1t brushed aside
the heat wave, cooled the atmosphere and
then quickly subsided.
Fourteen persons We're killed by drown
ing, by lightning strokes, by heart strokes
and by fire the direct results of the storm
in and around New York
Small boats were rocked upon fierce
waves where Il few moments before per-
feet calm had prevailed. In many in
stances they We're overturned, and their
merrymaking occupants were battling
for their lives in the seething waters
The lightning struck many places, inflict
ing instant death to some and playing
pranks upon others who received its full
shock.
The most peculiar incident of the storm
was perhaps the escape of James Brown
and his family on the heights above
Highbridge Brown had started for n
days outing with his wife, their five
children and two neighbors
When the rain began to fall they took
refuge under big tree, as an umbrella
was almost useless. A bolt of lightning
passed through the tree. and the entire
party fell stunned and almost stripped.
They had lost their clothes, their shoes
had been ripped from their feet, they had
been burned, but all will recover. The
infant in Mrs. Browns arms was practi
cally uninjured
Edward Il. Benner, a Brooklyn cyclst,
was killed at Bayshore. A boy standing
near him was paralyzed by the shock, and
nine other persons were knocked down
and stunned.
Two men We're burned to death in a
barn near Flushing, N Y, while trying
to save cows, and boy in the same
neighborhood was instantly killed by a
stroke.
Many excursionists had thrilling expe.
riences on the big pleasure steamers and
barges that We're out during the storm.
The only casualties reported, however,
were to those who had ventured out in
smaller craft.
AT Tenaiiy, n. j., one woman was
killed and three others so seriously injur.
ed by single bolt that they will probably
| die. When the storm came up, Mrs
Mouth and her two daughters, Lizzie
and Nellie, and a woman friend were
sitting under n grape arbor back of the
house. When the storm was upon them,
they jumped up and ran for the house.
As they were running a bolt struck in
their midst and killed Miss Lizzie Mouth.
Nellie Mouth was frightfully burned
about the body and face, and her moth
er was also burned in about the same
manner. The visitor, whose name has
not been learned here, was burned as
were the mother and daughter and also
had her nose cut off by the fash of fire.
The three injured women are said to be
In immediate danger of death.

m. was wrecked four miles east of

1t is rumored that several persons were
killed and many injured. The trucks of
the engine left the track. and the entire
train was ditched except the sleepers.
There is no telegraph office at Iowa Sta
ton, and details are lacking. Arrange
ments have been made to bring the dead
and injured to Lake Charles over the

KAISER TO PRESIDENT.
Says Our Army With Europe's Ar
mics VIII BE IrresIstibIe,

Washington, Aug. 13.-The state de-
partment has made public the following
memorandum, in which the United States
made known to Germany its acqui-
escence in the selection of Count Won
Waldersee to lead the allies in China:
"The government of the United States
will be much gratified to secure the com
mand of so distinguished and experienced
an officer as Count Won Waldersee for
any combined military operations in
which the American troops take part
after the arrival of that officer in China
to attain the purposes declared by this
government in the circular note delivered
to the powers under date of July 3.
1.-The general commanding the Ameri-
can forces in China has already been au-
thorized to agree with other commanders
as to common official direction of the
various forces in their combined opera
tions, preserving the integrity of his
American division as n separate organi-
cation. A copy of this communication
will be transmitted to him.
"As considerable time must elapse
before Count Waldersee can reach Chi
ma and conditions are rapidly changing
it would seem desirable to leave Gues-
tions of method to be determined in
view of the conditions which may then
exist. The suggestion of his majesty
the German emperor that one or more
military officers of each nationality
should be attached to the Headquarters of
Count Wnldersee to maintain communi-
cation with the national contingent
meets the approval Of this government"
The communication of this memoran-
dun having been made as directed, the
president received the following CON
gratulatory telegram from the German
emperor:
"His Excellency the President of the
United States:
81 received with pleasure the decision
of the United States that American and
German soldiers shall fight together for
the common cause of civilization under
+ one commander in chief. The brave
army of your country, which has shown
of late so many warlike qualities, united
with Europe, will he irresistible. Field
Marshal Count Waldersee, who will
have the honor of leading your forces, is
not stranger to America. His wife is
an American by birth. | beg your ex-
cellency to accept my heartfelt thanks
for the confidence of the United States
placed in the leadership Of Count Won
Waldersee." "...--. ct. .,...

How the Accident Occurred.
The accident occurred about ) o'clock.
The omnibus driven by a man named
Peters, was returning to Slatington from
a funeral the occupants had heen attend
ing at Cherrysville. The coach belonged
to Henry Bittner of Slatington, and the
dead and injured were nearly all rela.
tives of Sophia Schoeffer, at whose oh.
sequies they had been present The
train was a special and consisted of an
engine and one car. AT the point at
which the collision occurred there is a
sharp curve in the road and the omnibus
came along at a good rate of speed the
occupants being unconscious of any i'm.
pending danger. As the bus swung
around the curve the engine and cal
came in sight. 1t was too late to stop
either the omnibus or the train, and a.
the driver of the former whipped up the
four horses to cross the track ahead OF
the train the latter crashed into its mid.
die. The occupants were thrown in all
directions, bruised and bleeding. The Il
dead were killed outright. Physicians
and special train We're sent for, and
the injured were taken to South Bethle-
hem.
No watchman is employed to warn
teams or pedestrians of an approaching
train, and those living in the vicinity
state that it is impossible to hear an ap.
preaching train.
A feature of the accident was that the
horses drawing the bus escaped unhurt.

SERIOUS NAVAL DISASTER,
Fifty Men Drowned by Sinking OF
French TOrpedO Don't.

Paris, Aug. 13-During maneuvers OF
the French fleet off Cape st. Vincent a
collision occurred between the first class
battleship Brcnnus, flying the flag of
wee Admiral Fournier, commander of
the fleet, and the torpedo boat destroyer
France.
The France sank Immediately. The
accident was due to the fact that the
France turned to the right when ordered
to the left.
Details thus far received are very mca-
ger, but only Il small portion of the crew.
consisting of four officers and IS men.
were saved. 1t is believed that no fewer
than 30 were lost, and great anxiety is
felt here.
The France, which was of 313 tons
displacement, was recent addition to
the French navy.
1t is known that out of the crew of 30
snly fourteen We're saved. Among those
lost were three officers, Captain Maui
duit du IlessiX, the second lieutenant
and the chief engineer.
Admiral Fournier, in a dispatch from
Cadiz says that at the time of the ac-
cldent the Brennus was steaming ahead
of the France on the left The flagship
and the torpedo boat destroyer were ex-
changing luminous signals, when the lat
ter approached too near the Brennus.
The captain of the France ordered his
helmsman to steer 20 degrees to the left
while he increased speed. The man mis-
understood or badly executed the order,
steering to the right which brought the
destroyer under the rail of the Brennus,
her frame being cut in twain.
The France, which was of 313 tons
displacement, was a recent addition to
the French navy.

Poisoned With Ink.

Mrs. Frank Pollock, of Wilkesbarrc
poured ink on some severe scalds and is
now in serious condition, suffering
with blood poisoning. On Friday night,
while carrying pail of boiling water,
she stumbled and it was spilled over her
legs, scalding her severely. Neighbors
did what they could for her, and one of
them, Mrs. Ruppan, suggested ink to
relieve the pain, saying she had heard
it was good for burns. Mrs. Pollock S
legs were bathed with ink and bandaged
with ink-soaked cloths. The pain,
however, became so great that a physi-
clan was called to attend to her yester-
day
He did not know until he examined
the woman's injuries what had been
done and seeing the legs swollen and
strangely black, demanded the cause.
Mrs. Pollock told it hesitatingy, and
said that Mrs. Ruppan had intended no
harm. Mrs. Ruppan herself insisted
that ink was good for some kind of
burns, but she suggested she had used
the wrong kind.
The ink caused blood poisoning, and
Mrs. Pollock is in a dangerous condition.
