had their lives beaten out against the
rocks in Brush creek, but quite num-
Der were electrocuted.
Today at least 500 persons were at
the park seeking relief from the heat.
When the storm burst the great num-
Der sought the hillside, preferring the
shelter of the forest trees to the park
buildings, because they did not care to
be below the level of the dam, and but
little above the dry season level of
Brush creek.
When the dam broke a solid wall of
water twenty feet high rushed down
and completely filed the narrow ra-
vine, with it's car track. barn and res
taurant. 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 temporary shelter.

hind it the. crest of the flood bore down
with irresistible force. AS it swept
down the narrow ravine it carried with
1t the loaded street car and the crowded
restaurant. The flood was filed with
men. women and children, struggling
for their lives. The poles carrying the
heavily charged trolley wires were up
rooted and strewn along the grounds.
In a number of instances-how- many
is not knoWn-the victims of the flood,
grasping for anything that might save
them from the fury of the water, seiz-
ed the trolley wires and met death by
being electrocuted instead of being
drowned. Several bodies have already
been recovered showing that their
death was the result of this cause

tuition of United Italy all the clergy as
we'll as the clerical party and even Tor
eigners think that an Italian pope can
protect better than stranger the al
vance of the religious and poltlcal IN
tereStS of the church.
The candidates chiefly spoken of are
Cardinal Rampolla and Cardinal Sera-
fino Vannutelli. They are both repre-
sentatives of the conservative poncy,
but are bitter antagonists of each oth-
err Cardinal Rampolla is a very warm
Francophile, while Cardinal Vannu-
tell is averSe to the policy inaugurated
by the present pontifical secretary OF
state of assuming the power to which
he has adhered for fifteen years. The
most probable liberal candidates are
Cardinal Bishop Agliardi and Cardinal
Priest Satolli, whose breadth of views
and love of modern ideas have been
strengthened by his stay in America.
The most probable religious candidates
are Cardinal Priest Gotti who would
carefully avoid mixing UP in politics,
and Cardinal Priest Angelo di Pietro,
who also has the desirable prerequisite
of old age, being eighty five years old.
All these candidates live in Rome, but
q strong party which might include
good many foreign cardinals advocates
the election of q cardinal who is not
a member of the curia, such as Cardi-
nal Sato patriarch of Venice; Cardi-
nal Ferrari archbishop of Milan, both
intransigeant. or Cardinal Capecelatro,
archbishop of Capua, who is, perhaps,
the most learned member of the sacred
college and has conciliatory ideas.
1t is believed that the first ballot will
be merely a test in which nobody will
be elected, but it will be used to see
which way the wind blows. 1t is con-
sidered certain that if Cardinal Ram
polla sees the impossibility of succeed
ing to the pontifical throne he will
throw all his strength in favor of an
outsider, with a view to preserving his
candidacy for the next conclave. I'm
der these circumstances it is supposed
that Cardinal Oreglia, dean of the
sacred college, will be chosen, as he is
seventy-five years old and lately had
serious attack Of pneumonia.
All these plans, especially those
drawn up by the cardinals of the curia,
may be disturbed by the attitude of
the cardinals coming from outside
Rome, principally foreigners. Things
might be pushed to such a point as to
induce a portion of the Italians from
the provinces to ally with the foreign
cardinals, in which case alone there
might be possibility of a foreign pope
However, no French or Spanish car
dinal could command the votes of the
German or English or vice versa; so
that if an opportunity arises for a
foreign cardinal to be chosen the most
authoritative members of the college
think that the only one who could OBJ
tain the prescribed majority is Cardinal
Gibbons.

GREENSBURG MOURNS
FOR MANY LOST

GREENSBURG, July 5.-The park
is patroniZed by the people of this town
and Jeanette, and when the fact was
announced that the dam had given way
and rumor said that from 200 to 800
people were drowned, excitement knew
no bounds. The shutting down of the
power house by an electric bolt rem
dered the cars on the PittSburg, Nc
Keesport & Greensburg railway help
less and the fact that the roads and
all lines to the park were flooded made
it impossible to drive to the scene of
the disaster.
There was but one way to get there
for the thousands who had friends
spending the afternoon at the park and
that was to walk over circuitous
route covering a distance of fully seven
miles and the representative of the
Associated Press was among the first
to reach there after the news came to
Greensburg. Hundreds of people who
at nightfall missed members of their
family at supper time fastened with
lanterns over the hills in search of their
loved ones. Many of them were over
joyed to meet their relatives on their
way home.
Searching for Bodies.
At II o'clock tonight anxious fathers
and mothers who succeeded in reaching
the scene Of the disaster by carriages
and other conveyances after the
waters had receded were lined along
the flooded districts anxiously search
ing and waiting for some one to an
nounce the finding of a body. The
army of searchers is headed by Man
ager McGrath, who is doing everything
to allay the suffering of the anxious
persons who are awaiting some tidings
of missing friends. The scene there
tonight is heartrending. The wailing
of mothers who have certainly lost lit
tie ones is pitiful.
Late tonight many of those who were
first reported missing from Greensburg
turned up here and it is now believed
that not more than four or five peo-
pie of this place went down in the
flood.
Undertakes Coshey and Perry are
also there in addition to several under
takers from Jeanette. 1t is thought
that with the various outlets, the water
will subside before morning and that
at least some of the bodies will be re-
covered. William Cline Jr., of this
city, barely escaped from the rush of
water and was an eye witness to the
awful disaster. Mr.. Cline's statement
is as follows:
Il was standing at the car barn at the
time the warning was given. Two
women came running down from the
park and said that the dam had burst
I afterward learned that the dam broke
at the upper end and at the hover end
the water overflowed. The flood was
headed by two immense timbers that
came crashing down. The waiting
room where people board the street
cars was full of women and children

cries for mercy and help were awful
