Jeanette, Pa, July THE scene
along the Brush creek valley is one
OF desolation and ruin. From the site
OF the broken dam at Oalford Park
to Widening, taking in the towns OF
Jeanette. Penn, Larimer Greensburg,

the breaking of the dam IS apparent

just after the food hit the waiting
room. The man was 10 an apparently
safe position among some saplings.
In his struggles TO get tne woman he
lost his hold and both were swept
away with the torrent and probably

Clyde Huffman, of Jeanette, is the
hero of the disaster. He was one of
the throng about the entrance when
the dam burst, and was a witness to
the carrying away of the waiting sta
tion. Fourteen persons had sought
refuge from the downpour of rain in
a car that was standing on 2 siding.
It was not in the direct path OF the
wall OF water, but had been complete
ly encompassed by the food, and its
occupants we're unable to wade
through the torrents of water that
swept by the car. Huffman secured
rope and tossed 1t to each inmate
of the car All were brought to points
of safety.

St. Louis Iron Range Company.

Mr.. E. N. S. Lee, the manager,
who supervises the sale Of the
Home Comfort Steel Range, is in
the city and has with him a full
corps of assistants. The ware
rooms, where these goods are
kept and exhibited, are at Wards
livery stable, east Of the Mobile
and Ohio depot.
This celebrated Range is as per-
feet in its mechanicism AS it is
possible to make an instrument
for cooking. 1t is SO constructed
that it will barn either coal or
wood and is so arranged that by
the simple turning of a damper,
any desired degree of temperature
may be obtained. 1t is simple in
all it's details of construction and
can be operated with ease by the
simplest minded cook in the land.
The oven is made of a single
piece of boiler plate steel riveted
hard and fast to a steel frame.
The fre-box is made of annealed
malleable iron which will stand
twelve and one half times the heat
of ordinary cast iron. This part
is put in in sections, which can be
renewed whenever necessary.
The frame is made of boiler plate
steel, lined with asbestos, which
reslsts the action of a great de-
gree of heat. The safety enjoyed
in using this Range is almost COM
plete as all sparks leaving the
fre-box has to make a complete
circuit of the oven before il reach
es the pipe that removes it. No
matter how much heat is put on, a
light pocket handkerchief wrap
ped around the pipe at its bottom
will not burn. The utensils that
go with this Range and are made
Of chfystalized steel, enamled both
on the in and out side with agate.
The Company gives its guaran-
tee nf all that is herein stated.
