Scores Drowned in Great Flood at
Jeanette, Pa.

Greensburg, Pa, July 5.-By the
breaking OF an immense dam at Oak
ford park, resort at the town of
jeanette, near here yesterday after
noon, between 20 and 100 lives have
been reported lost. At an early
hour this morning eight bodies had
been recovered.
The disaster was the result Of a
great cloudburst which broke near
the park, which was crowded with
hundreds OF recreation seekers. The
torrents OF rain which fell caused the
creek that runs on the outskirts OF
the park to overflow its bed and beat
with great force on the dam above
the park.
When the greatembsnkment finally
gave way the waters soon washed
every building in the park but two
of OF it's foundation and crushed
them into kindling wood. The great
loss Of life was due to the fact that
most Of these buildings we're filed
with people who had taken refuge
from the rain.
The torrents Of wAter swept street
cars of the tracks and it is believed
that every passenger in one crowded
car which was swept away, was
drowned.

A BANK .ROBBER ESCAPED.
The ST. Louis Jail Could Not cOnfne
William Rudolph.

AAAAm heNNA 20
st. Louis, July Civilian Ru.
dolph, one of the men, who robbed
the bank at Union, Mo-, last January
and killed a Pinkerton detective who
endeavored to capture him. and
George Collins, his companion, es.
capped from the st. Louis jail late this
afternoon. Late tonight he had not
been appreciated, although the en-
tire police force OF this city was
searching for him.
The escape was evidently the re.
suit OF a carefully prearranged plan,
in which number OF Jail prisoners
were implicated. At five o'clock in
the afternoon the prisoners who have
been permitted to exercise arerequir-
ed to return to their cells. When
they had begun to dispense this al.
ternoon, about fifteen OF them gath.
cred in the northwestern corner OF
the city fortress and in a moment
there was an apparent quarrel be-
tween them.
Rudolph and his assistant in the
bankrobbery, George Collins, remain
ed on the southeastern side of the
jail and when the guards tried to
quell the violent disturbance on the
opposite side, the two desperate men
FASTENED up the tiers Of cells until
they reached beam which had been
used to raise the flag on July 4.
Here Collins showed the white feather
and went no further, bus Rudolph
climbed the beam, shattered q pane
in the skylight and in an instant lat
er was drawing himself through the
opening he had made to the roof.
Undaunted, Rudolph grasped an
electric light wire that extended to
the ground and slid down fifty feet,
when the wire snapped, precipitating
him to the ground. Regsining his
feet instantly, he ran through Ser
geant Dawson's residence, where Mrs.
b Lally, the aged housekeeper, was
the occupant, out to the street and
was gone.
Collins and Rudolph robbed the
bank of Union, shot their way out OF
town and made good their escape
last January. Posses were organic.
ed and the men were sought oneverv
clew, but until Detective Charles J.
Schumacher, a Pinkerton. arrived to
assist in the hunt, they could not be
located. In a short time Schumach-
er found them in a cabin situated
about four miles from Stanton. Mo ;,
and with a posse he went there on
January "a to arrest them.
SHOT A DETECTIVE.
The officer approached the house
over clearing a little in advance Of
his companions and raped on the
middle door. Another door was sud
denly thrown open, however, and he
was ordered to hold up his hands
The men did not permit him to obey
the command, but began shooting,
two bullets striking the detective,
killing him almost instantly. Collins
and Rudolph again escaped, but were
arrested in Hartford, Conn, by Pin.
kertons and brought to st. Louis
for safe keeping. Every precantion
has been taken to prevent their
escape. Their quarters in the jail
have been changed frequently and
they have been kept apart. A few
weeks ago files and other implements
were discovered in their cells and
they have been closely watched ever
since.
