Believed That Sixteen More Lost
Their Lives by Bursting of Dam
at Jeanette, Pa.

Jeanette, Pa, July 7.-As a result
of the breaking of the Oakford park
dam Sunday 20 persons are known to
be dead and 16 are missing. The
property loss in the valley will reach
S1,500,000, and the distress is so great
that outside relief will have to be
asked for. The number of lives lost
was not so great as estimated, but the
list is long enough to be appalling.
From a happy, prosperous, content
ed valley, this section in a single day
has been transformed into great
household of mourning. Pretty homes
have been wrecked and great work
shops forced into idleness. Hundreds
of men out of employment for several
weeks. All day long hundreds Of will
ing hands pulled away the great piles
Of debris in the search for missing
residents of the valley From time to
time the search would be rewarded.
Jeanette, Pa, July 10.-Almost $780,
900 has been collected for the relief Of
the sufferers by the Oakford park dam
disaster of last Sunday, and the work Of
relief has been systematized. About
100000 more will be needed.
