Only Survivor Of Jamestown rlooe

Only Survivor Of Jamestown Flood
There languishes In the little anne,
TO the city hall q man by the name
Of John O"Connor, who claims to be
the sole survivor of the Johnstown
flood. He also claims to be deaf and
dumb and to be trying hard 70 get
TO his brother In California. These
claims are attested by q card which
bears the Impress Of the st. Luke's
hospital OF Pittsburg. Whatever may
be the truth Of the claims, the facts Of
the case are that at about half past
ten this morning he had what seem
ed to be an epileptic attack on the
crossing in front Of Murphey's drug
store. He was assisted by the city
marshal, who judged by his breath
that wbiskey was quite as much the
cause OF his fall as anything else.
The alleged only survivor was taken
To the city jail. Whether his case
calls for charity or something diff
ferent. remains to be seen.

Four has made new time record and
one that will probably stand for some
time to come. The Twentieth Century
limited was the record breaker; a train
that runs at all times almost up to the
limit of the endurance of the engine.
The run was made last Friday. al
though it has lust been given out The
train was pulled by one OF the new At
lantic type engines in charge Of Engi-
neer John Filkins- The train was
twenty-five minutes late when it left
this city and made the run to Colum-
bus, distance of 1873 miles, in two hours
and twenty-five minutes The time
lost in starting from Cleveland wa:
made up before reaching Columbus
The schedule is so fast that it is ordin'
arily almost impossible to make nj
time with the train Many miles wer'
covered in forty-six and forty-sevel
seconds.
