Johnstown was a prosperous city or
2S, 900 inhabitants On the Pennsylvania
railroad, thirty-nine miles from AL
toona and seventy-eight miles from
Pittsburg. 1t was giving 10
business and pleasure on the fateful
day without a thought of the impend-
ing catastrophe.
1t was in the middle of the afternoon
that the pent-up waters tore away the
barrier and leaped into the valley be-
low. In just seven minutes the ad-
vancing column of water, mountain
high, traversed the eighteen miles TO
Jamestown and submerged the city.
When II struck the Pennsylvania rail-
road bridge, Immediately below the
city, thewaters were damned back In
such a n as to add greatly to the
loss of life. The huge mass Of debris
swept along by the waters was piled
high at his bridge and soon took fire.
The flames increased the desolation and
terror which the ravages of the flood
had brought.
Aid was sent TO the Johnstown suf-
ferers from nearly every point In the
United States and from many countries
and cities of Europe. The flood relief
commission appointed by the governor
OF Pennsylvania reported that contrf-
buttons amounting to $4,000, 600 had
been sent in. Some OF this money was
used, after the work Of relief had been
carried out, to care for tn widows and
orphans who had been left homeless.

OVER SAHARA BY BALLOON.
French Aoronaut's Plan to Send Az
tomato AIrship Across Desert.

New York Sun: The project of cross
Ing the Sahara desert by balloon is
being seriously debated by French
aeronauts. NJ. FEES. DeburauX believes
IT practicable TO make the passage
from Tunis to the Niger by utilizing
the northeasterly winds which prevail
in that region and with Count Castil-
lion de Saint Victor, another promi-
nen aeronaut, is anxious to make the
experiment.
The expense attending such a project
is the principal handicap to its at
tempt. To displace a large balloon
with several eronaut would entail
a cost OF $50, 900.
1t is proposed, therefore, to make a
trial first with a balloon controlled by
an automatic device. This can be done
for $4,000.
The balloon planned for the trip is
to be kept in equilibrium by a heavy
guide rope Of steel cable weighing LOO
pounds. 1t has an automatic ballast
discharge consisting OF q tank con-
tanning 5000 pounds of water ballast.
An automatic device insures that If the
balloon falls TO within $50 feet of the
ground the tank will discharge 1,150
pounds of ballast at once.
In the balloon is an interior air bag
which will keep 1t in shape in spite OF
the leakage OF gas. 1t Is estimated
that with the aid of this the balloon
would stay in the air at least twelve
days. The northeast winds which pre-
vail over the central sahara almost
constantly between April and October
would propel the balloon at the rate OF
at least twelve miles an hour.
In case the balloon should be
wrecked 1t is calculated that II would
be picked VI by some Of the nomads
Of the desert. who would be sure 10 see
1t and to follow such a phenomenon, so
that news of it's mishap would quickly
reach civilization.

Parson Hopkins Got tho Floor, and
the Other Man Got No Chance.

Washington Evening Star: II saw by
the papers the other day that q new and
bloody feud had broken out in the noun
tains Of Kentucky" said q man from
that state. mo one can fully appreciate
these feuds unless he has lived in the
counties where the trouble is located.
There are many quaint characters in the
mountain portion'of the state. or course,
there are not many people in Washington
who remember 'Parson' Hopkins, who was
given a seat I'm congress a lumber OF
years ago over Joe Kendall, whose father
had been In congress before the son at
tempted to come here.
'Parson' Hopkins was a Baptist min
lister In the Tenth district and was much
loved by his people. The republicans knew
that he would be the only person who
could win I'm n contest for the place., and
so they nominated him. 1t was many
days before the chairman OF the district
republican organization could find where
the parson was. At last he was located
away up in n mountain county conduct
Ing a camp meeting. He refused to dis
cuss politics until he concluded his meet
Ing, three days later. Many democrats
who had never cast a republican vote put
In ballots for 'Parson' Hopkins, and be-
came insulted II they were told they had
voted republican. We are voting Bap-
fist, was the way they put II.
zoe Kendall had tried every way pos
sible to get 'Parson' Hopkins into n joint
debate, but the parson would not con-
sent. One day the parson went into n
town where Kendall was to hold a meet
ing and Unexpectedly ran into Kendall.
The later promptly challenged the parson
TO Joint debate, and Mr.. Hopkins reluc-
family consented. His terms, however.
were that he should have the opening.
The democrats were rejoiced, and declared
that Kendall would wallop 'Parson' Hop
kins roundly. At l o'clock, the hour set
for the joint debate TO begin. the parson
was introduced by the chairman. Par
SON. Hopkins opened the meeting with
prayer, then read a long selection from
the bible. gave out a hymn and read more
from the bible. Finally he entered upon
his speech. When dark came he was still
speaking, by which time nearly all the
men had gone to their homes to look after
their cattle, horses. etc, and as no ar
r~angements had been made for lighting
the meeting place, Kendall never did get
a chance to respond to the opening. The
joke was on Kendall"

q Different Version Of the Ar

GERS in Venice.

London, May S.-Private letters re-
ceived here from Rome give n very diff.
ferent complexion to the arrest of
American naval officers at Venice. They
say that instead OF thanking the king
Of Italy for his clemency In pardoning
the Americans, the United States
should demand an apology, and assert
that the members OF the American coll
ony were too eager to take the Italian
view Of the situation, believing every
thing the Italian papers said. The
correspondent OF the Associated Press
writes that when United States Am
bassador Meyer first heard Of the news
he was inclined TO let justice follow It's
course, but on second thought ne was
touched by the probable ruin OF the
future career Of the American officers
and therefore approached the foreign
minister TO arrange matters II possible.

Hundreds OF residences and public

four yards wide, and the Irregular
manner in which the town is built,
served to max death traps Of the
