Thursday. The final score was II TO 5 in
Eairmount's favor, but still tells no story
of the game. In the first half the game
was distinctly Friends. One touchdown
was made, but a difficult goal failed.
The first half ended with the ball in Fair
mounts possession. In the second half
Paramount secured the ball after punt
ing and made a touchdown. The Friends
insisted that their man did not touch the
ball after being punted, and contested
the point. The referee first decided in
their favor. but afterwards changed his
decision. Goal was kicked after a rather
lengthy interrnission and playing was re-
sumed. By line bucks and a long run by
Foster, another touchdown was made by
Paramount. but no goal resulted. Fair
mount held the ball at the end of the
game.

AN IMPORTANT APPOINTMENT.
With the Vital Flame Pickering the
Pope Makes an Appointment.

Rome, July 6.-The ameEoration in
the pOpe's condition, Monday morn
ing, was unnatural, considering the
gravity of his illness, and it was
feared that possibly it was only the
last Pickering of the vital flame.
During this brighter interval the
pope resumed his habits of command,
and insisted on giving orders for the
preparation of the brief appointing
MonsignOr Volponi, actually secre-
tary of letters to princes, as secre-
tary of the consistorial congregation,
post vacant owing to the promotion
of Monsignor Nocella to the cardinal
ate. The Importance of such an ap-
pOintment, especially at the present
moments manifest when it is consid-
cred that on the pope's death the SEQ
retary Of state ceases to exercise his
functions, which are assumed imme-
diately by the secretary of consistor
ial congregation.
The pope insists on staying up and
walking at intervals, saying that
weakness is the worst part of his ill
ness, against which the best remedy
is activity.

Wheat is yielding much below the

Corn is small for the season, but
generally thrifty, and making fair
growth.
Much of the early crop has re-

Cotton shows some improvement,
but the plant is still very small, and
the prospect is anything but encour,
aging.
Tobacco is growing well.
Irish potatoes are making fine
yields.
Clover, as a rule, is in better con-
dition than for years, and much fine
hay has been secured.
Peas and millet are growing well.

FIRE IN SOUTH ST. LOUIS.
Two Business Places and Half
Dozen Residences Burned-Sev-
eraI Narrow Escapes.

st. Louis, July 6.-Fire swept over
a large area at Oregon and Gravois
avenues, Monday morning, entailing
a loss of about $4,000.
The flames started in the saloon and
grocery of Bernard Miller, 2910 Ore
gon avenue, spread to his feed store
adjoining, and under a wind were
soon communicated to adjoining resi-
dences.
A general alarm was sent in, and all
available fire apparatus in the city
was rushed to the scene.
At least a half dozen residences
were destroyed and many occupants
had narrow escapes. Two women, en-
trapped in one of the residences.
jumped from second-story windows,
but were caught by firemen. They es-
capped serious injury.
Miller's place was a rendezvous for
truck gardeners and farmers on their
way to and from the city, and several
of them suffered in the losses.
The saloon, grocery and boarding
house of VIM. j. Eilers, a well-known
ward politician, were also destroyed.

QUIET AT EVANSVILLE, IND.
Monday Morning Saw But Little
Signs of the Reign of Mob Law
of Sunday and Sunday Night.

Evansville, Ind, July 6.-This city
was quiet Monday and there were no
signs of the mob violence that agi-
tated all citizens Sunday night. Busi-
ness is moving in the even tenor of
its way. An examination of the bust
ness district shows that much dam
age was done to stores and especially
to the hardware houses, many of
which were entered and robbed of
guns and ammunition. Thousands of
shots were fired during the night, but
so far as learned no one was killed,
although numbers of people are said
to have been wounded.
Several negroes were caught by
mobs and almost beaten to death be-
fore the police could save them.
The chief demonstration of the
night was an attack upon the county
Jail between ten and one o'clock.
Several thousand men crowded the
street before the building and finally
obtained entrance through the forti-
fed gates to the yard where they be-
gan to batter the windows of the Jail.
Efforts to prevent this were futile and
the crowd held sway, the police of the
city Delng occupied with holding the
sightseers from invading the front
part of the building and ransacking
the sheriff's residence.
After the mob was thoroughly sat
isfied that Lee Brown, the murderer
of Patrolman Massey, was not in the
building, they separated into squads
of 40 Or so and paraded the down
town streets until daylight, shoot
ing promiscuously and visiting the
negro quarters. Negroes are terror
lied.
The local companies of the state
militia have been ordered out and
will be reinforced by companies from
southern Indiana.
The Evansville members of the state
troops were called out to prevent fur
ther rioting. The governor issued the
order.
There were a few outbreaks, Mon
day, and several white men fired
through the windows of houses occu-
pied by negroes. Several negro fam
lilies have barricaded their homes in
expectation of renewed trouble.

OFFICIAL CIRCLES NERVOUS.
Count Cassini's Diplomatic Methods
Not Entirely satisfactory
to Russia.

London, July 6.-The st. Peters
burg correspondent of the Standard
telegraphs that official circles there
are nervous over the situation in the
far east and especially Count Cassini's
diplomatic methods The Russian am
bassador at Washington is accused of
making too much of the petition re
garding the Kishineff massacre and
too little of the American policy in
the far east. The Russian govern
ment, continues the correspondent,
would have looked with equanimity
on the presentation of the Kishinetf
petition, which binds nobody, if in re-
turn an understanding could have
been reached respecting Russia g
claim in Manchuria. 1t is now feared
that Russia will be obliged to forego
Count Lamsdorf's plans concerning
Manchuria and China, which depend
ed on separating the United States
from Japan and Great Britain.

Two Hundred and Sixtieth Pope
of Rome, at Hand.
He STILL INSISTS ON OOING HIS WORK.
The Venerable POntiH Kept Up by
Stimulation and the Charging of
the Air About Him With Oxygen
An Important appointment Made
by His Holiness.

Rome, July 6.-The text of the bull
letin issued this Eaorning by the
pope's physicians is as follows:
although his holiness passed the
night almost without sleep, he is not
so uneasy as he was yesterday. The
pope has been benefited by the injec-
ton of digitalis and camphor and the
condition of his chest is normal.
There is a slight cough, with some
catarrhal emission. Sufficient nour-
ishment has been taken. The pulse
is still weak, but not intermittent, and
the temperature is below normal. The
condition of the august patient, there
fore, can not be described as better,
but it is certainly no worse.

ARTIFICIAL VITALITY.
The Air surrounding the Patient

Kept Impregnatcd With Oxygen.
Rome, July 6.-As the pope object
ed to having the oxygen inhaling APP
paratus continually under his nostrils,
DR.. Lapponi arranged to impregnate
the whole atmosphere of the room
with oxygen.
That is much better" said the
pontiff; before, 1 felt as though l
had lost my liberty
Although DIR. Lapponi continually
recommends the patient not TO speak,
and to pay no attention to what is
passing outside, the pope refuses to
abandon participation in what is go
ing on. He said, smiling, to DR.. Lap
poni: 81 know you say this because
of your affection for me, but either
my last day is rapidly approaching, in
which caEe l must employ all the time
which is left to me so far as 1 can,

the Almighty, nothing can change
it,"
The pope wished his armchair to
be carried near his writing table, and
then to the window overlooking the
piazza of st. Peter. Noticing many
people in carriages, the pope said:

DEVASTATION AND RUIN.
Terrible Destruction Caused By
Flood In Brush Creek Valley,
Pa, by Broken Dam.
SCORES OF HUMAN LIVES BL0TTED OUT.
Days Before the Entire Casualty
List Can BE Made Up With Any
Degree OF Accuracy-A Second
Break.

Jeanette, Pa, July 6.-Dawn broke
Monday on a scene of devastation
and ruin along the Brush Creek val
ley.
From the site of the break in the
dam at Oakford to Wilmerding, TAX
ing in the towns of Jeanette, Penn,
Larimer, Greensburg, Irwin, Burrell
and Manor, the awful power of the
rushing waters following the break
ing of the dam is apparent On all
sides. The damage to property
will not be less than $1,000 while
the number of lives suddenly blotted
out is still uncertain, the estimates
running all the way from so to $50.
Almost with the first streak of day
light a bureau was opened here, where
the names of the identified dead re-
covered and the missing were regis
tered, together with a description of
the bodies recovered but not identi-
fed.
The People Still Excited.
The people are still too excited to
talk of the flood, and it is with diff
Guilty that a complete death and in
jured list can be compiled. All the
residents claim that more bodies went
down in the flood, but the rumors are
no numerous that they can not all be
run down.
Several persons are reported as
missing from their homes along the
stream, and many anxious parents, al
most frantic with fear, traversed the
streets all night searching for their
lost children.
Stories of thrilling rescues are
heard on all sides, and many acts of
bravery are reported, the heroes be-
ing persons who risked their lives to
save others.
Rescue Party Organized.
A rescuing party was organized by
DR.. NJ. F. Freshwater and K. Joseph
Hoffman Immediately after the wall
of water had passed. DR.. Freshwater
stated, Monday morning, that they
had rescued fully $50 persons who had
been thrown into the streams by
their houses being overturned. Many
houses were seen by them floating
down the stream upside down, side
ways and. in every possible manner.
A Second Dam Breaks.
Almost simultaneously with the
breaking of the dam in Oakford park,
the Fort Pitt dam, about half mile
north of this place, gave way, carry
ing wide destruction along the valley
of Bull creek, which empties into the
larger stream of Brush creek, in the
lower part of Jeanette. The Fort
Pitt dam serves to supply the Fort
Pitt glass works at that point. 1t
was rebuilt about eight years ago,
when it was torn down in the same
manner as on Sunday. To add to the
alarm caused by the disaster in Oak
ford park, it was reported that the
big reservoir of the Westmoreland
Water Co., at Radabaugh, about
mile from this town, was likely to
give way, and that the people in the
vicinity had taken fright and fled to
the uplands.
The reservoir at Radabaugh covers
about Is acres, and supplies Greens
burg, jeanette, Ossen, Manor and 9TH
er points further down the valley.

Divorced to Punish Husband.

A case that has attracted much at.
tention in Weakley county is the bill
for divorce brought by Mrs. Walter
Una Hickman Butler against her
husband, Walter Butler. A dscree
OF divorce was granted last week to
the plaintiff. Butler was indicted
about two years ago for violation of
the age of consent law. The plain
tiff IN the case was Miss Una Hick-
man, daughter of a prominent ply
slclan of the First district Of the
county. Butler waived preliminary
examination and was bound over to
court. The grand jury indicted him,
but before the case came up for trial
the young woman came to Hunting
don, and Butler, who was then con-
fined in Jail, married her. By that
act she was rendered incompetent to
testify against Butler. The case
was continued, and Judge Bond re-
leased Butler on his own recogni-
zance, on the promise that he would
live with his wife. This promise he
failed to keep, leaving the county.
The girl filed bill for divorce, and
Butler was apprehended and
brought back. The granting of the
divorce last week renders the young
woman competent to testify against
Butler, and the case against him will
be prosecuted to the fullest extent.
The sympathy of the people is with
the girl. The parties belong to
prominent families.

time with Count Pecci, even rising
