Strikes a Pleasure Park.

Strikes a Pleasure Park.
Greensburg. Pa, July IA water
spout of immense proportions, striking
in the vicinity of Oakford Park yester-
day afternoon at 4 o'clock created a
flood that caused great loss OF life and
property. 1t is known that at least
fifty persons lost their lives, and nj
mors place the number Of dead at
more than 100. The majority were
drowned or had their lives beaten out
against the rocks in Brush creek,
but quite a number were electTocuted.
At 8 o'clock rain began to fall in
torrents in the vicinity Of the park
and spread over a territory covering
probably ten miles. A half hour later
the cloudburst occurred and the UNI
brellas carried by the crowds OF peO-
pie were crushed like eggshells. The
water in the lake of Oxford Park be-

Grath, believing there was danger Of

dam, hurried among the crowds
who had gathered under the roofs Of
the eating stands, the merry-gO-rOund,
the theater, the dancing pavilion and
other buildings in line Of the water if

after the buildings had been cleared
of the people the water mounted the
walls of the dam and within a few
minutes waters TO the depth OF five
feet were flowing over the entire
length Of 400 feet of the wall The
park, studded with buildings, the mer-
ry-goround, the laughing gallery and
other amusement places were twisted
about, and all but the dancing pavil-
ion and large lunch stands were
wrenched from their foundations. The
rain continued TO fall in torrents and
at O'Clock forty feet Of the wall of
the dam to the east gave way with a
crash. When the dam broke a solid
wall of water twenty feet high rushed
down and completely filed the narrow
ravine with its car tracks, barn and
restaurant. In front of the car barn
stood a car containing from
Fifty to Seventy Passengers,
many of them seeking TO return to
Jeanette, others using it as a tenn,
porary shelter. With the immense
body of water behind it, the crest OF
the food bore down with irresistible
force. AS it swept down the narrow
ravine ii carried with it the loaded
street car and the crowded restaurant
The food was filled with men, women
and children struggling for their lives

grasping for anything that might save
them from the fury of the water

by being electrocuted instead Of being
drowned. Several bodies have al
ready been recovered that showed
death was the result of this cause.

WHAT THE TALMUD SAYS ABOUT
WOMEN

The Jewish Talmud has these SEM
fences about women: "A good wife is
heavens noblest gift. A housewife
never allows herself to be disturbed
from her work; even while conversing
she is busily spinning. An old, expert
enced woman in a household is an or
nament to it like a pearl. He who
lives in an unmarried state knows no
joys, none of the blessings of home and
is without support. The man who
stands at the deathbed of his wife feels
like those who saw the temple of Jeru-
salem reduced to ashes. for the wife is
the temple in which each man finds re-
pose and quiet where he rests after the
labors of the day, and where he can
give expression to his feelings, joyful
and mournful. God has given to
woman more ability of judging cor
rectly than a man."
