lard Kernochan, the son Of the late James

nent cross country riders Of the Meadow

at his place. The Meadows, here this
morning.
The horse took number Of the jumps
all right, but failed at what is known as
the cedar jump" The horse was appar-
emily going all right, but struck on the
way over and tumbled forward
Mr.. Kernochan fell clear of the horse, but
landed on his head. He was taken to his
house and DR.. G. G. j Finn, who was sum-
moned, found that he hada bad scalp wound.
DIR. Finn took fourteen stitches in the

said at midnight:
There is really nothing TO say about Mr..
Kernochan's injury. He has slight scalp
wound and is getting along all right"

PITTsBuRG. July 5.About forty persons
were killed to-day by food caused
by the bursting of a dam at Oakford Park
near Jeannette, about thirty miles from
Pittsburg
Many Of those killed we're drowned,
some were crushed by timbers and others
were burned and shocked to death by
coming In contact with falling electric wires.
1t was the worst accident Of the kind that
has happened In this region since the John
stown food.
Oakford Park ia resort operated by
the Pittsburg Railway Company. The
dam impounded the waters OF several
streams, making lake. The day had been
fair until about o'clock in the afternoon
when the skies became overcast
In remarkably short time storm
broke and the visitors took refuge in the
car barns. close to the park, and in a small
building nearby. The barns and the
building were all below the level of the
dam, which held back forty acres of water,
twenty feet deep.
Suddenly the water made breach in
the dam four feet wide. The water poured
out. the gap widened and then the whole
lake seemed to pour down the valley.
The wall Of water was at least thirty feet
high. 1t swept up the little house in which
nearly hundred persons had taken refuge
The building was demolished
Many were killed by the falling walls.
others we're swept out into the food TO he
drowned. Traction wires were torn down
and many persons killed by electricity
The water was charged and they we're
unable to help themselves.
The telegraph wires are down, and up to
midnight only meagre news of the disaster
had come by telephone
When the wall OF water came, those
getting it's direct force could not escape,
but further down the water spread out.
Men we're seen swimming in this wider
water, but the trolley poles had been swept
into the food, the wires were charged, and
strong swimmers, catching hold of the
wires. we're killed instantly by the shock.
At midnight word came from Jeanette
that perhaps fifty persons were killed In
the little house in which they had taken
refuge, and that traction car, containing
sixty passengers, was also carried of in
the food, turning end over end.
Not one of the passengers on the car ia
supposed to have survived.
The Pennsylvania Railroad tracks we're
torn up by the food and through pas
senger trains are delayed.

G1iciai Says There VIII Be No Actual Clash

LONDON, July 8The St Petersburg
correspondent Of the Telegraph says there
is nervousness in official circles in regard
TO the Far Fast, and especially in regard
TO the failure of Count Cassini's diplo-

His frequent, and AT times imprudent,
recourse to the newspapers, is considered
TO have contributed to the present I'M
satisfactory relations. He is accused OF
making too much Of the petition in regard
to the Kishineff affair, and too little of the
American policy in the Far East.
The Russian Government would have
looked with relative cquanimity upon the
presentation of the petition, which binds
nobody, il in return a satisfactory under
standing had been reached in regard to the
Russian claims in China.
The correspondent adds that well-in-
formed official informed him that the
Chinese policy Of Count Lamsdorff, the
Russian Foreign Minister, is based entirely
upon detaching America from England and
Japan
This, he said, was no easy matter at the
outset, and now, thanks to Count Cassini's
hungling, 1t appears to be quite unfeasible
The Russian Government will now he COM
