Terrible Disaster Occurs in
County R0SCOmmOn,
Ireland.
Well Titled Farms Are Buried Under
Peat and Water and Tenants
Narrowly Escape Death.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LONDON, Dec. 3o.-Graphic details
are now being received of the devasta-
ton caused by a moving bog in the
county of Roscommon, Ireland. The
bog, which is known as that of Gloon
shiever, is three miles from Castlerea
When 1t began TO slide it moved three
quarters of a mile in few days, COW
ering everything in it's way with peat
and water to a depth of eight or ten
feet. On Lord de Freyne's French Park
estate, the peasantsea are surrounded on
all sides with miles of bog and water
Sad is the story of the hamlet Of
Cloonshiever with its forty or fifty
little one-story whitewashed cottages
Last Saturday an immense bog which
overhangs the valley, without any pre-
vious warning, swept down on them
like an avalanche. The first intimation
the villagers had OF this visitation was
when the bog stuff was dashing in the
doors OF the houses so rapidly that it
was with the greatest difficulty that
many Of the unfortunate people escaped
with their lives
a visit to the scene Of the disaster
showed the mountain which is eleven
or twelve miles IN extent, rent and
torn as IL by an earthquake. The NOV
ing portion was about three hundred
yards square and had been carried
fully three-quarters of a mile. The ruin
and destruction which such a mass has
left in its train can be more easily
imagined than described. Many Of the
houses have wholly disappeared, while
all that is to be seen of others is
chimney top here and there. Leaf
less trees mark the spot from which
well titled farms have disappeared
practically forever.
At one point lake Of about ten or
twelve acres has been formed in the
last few days by the pent up noun
tain streams. Unless some means is
speedily adopted to drain off this water
il viii undermine the entire bog and
disaster Of an overwhelming nature
may be anticipated. 1t would be i'm
possible to exaggerate the miserable
condition Of the villagers. Houseless
and penniless they wander about the
scenes of their former homes with
nothing but want and starvation fac
ing them and their families.

SPEECH TO
YOUNG GIRL
Philadelphia Priest
Cures Where Ply
SiCianS Fail.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

TRENTON, N. J., Dec. 9O.-Practical-
ly without the power of speech since
early last August, Miss Mary Dickson.
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. William
Dickson of South Warren street, this
city is now talking and singing and
laughing as well as ever. Her recovery
is attributed to the prayers and inter
cession of an Assyrian priest in Phila-
delphia.
The girl had previously failed OF re-
lief, although she had been treated by
several Trenton physicians. The medi-
cal men said she was suffering from
acute nervous disorders and that it
might take years before she could be
cured A neighbor, Policeman Patrick
O'Hara of the second district police
SQUAD, told the girl how he had been
cured of rheumatism by Father S.
Corkemas of Tenth and Ellsworth
streets, Philadelphia, and finally pre-
vailed upon her to visit the priest. The
clergyman prayed for her and made ap-
plications of the relic of st. Marion,
after which the girl returned home.
This morning she said she could talk
as well as ever, and demonstrated the
fact by addressing the members of her
family.

Bard in an interview tonight, but I

Teachers Association closed its ses-
sions this afternoon, ending one Of the
greatest weeks In the history of edu-
cationaI movements on the Pacific
Coast. 1t brought together about 1900
teachers from all parts Of the State,
and much good and benefit will result
from their discussions Of matters per-
tanning to the schools. At no time did
interest lag in the proceedings, and
although it rained hard this afternoon
the assembly hall was taxed to its ca
pacity to seat the y ung women who
braved the storm. An innovation this
year and one that has proved a great
success was the meetings of five of the
county institutes, which met here at
the time of the State meeting.

noon. The programme opened with an
artistic drill in physical training by
class of seven little girls dnder the su-
State Normal School.
The committee on the constitution
made report by which it amended the
instrument presented yesterday by con-
ferring membership to the members of
the California Teachers Association.
The report was adopted

The Council of Education reported
through Secretary McClymonds. 1t
recommended that a constitutional
amendment be submitted to the people
making it possible to elect members of
boards of education and trustees for

forces are confident that the Senator is

strength when the balloting begins will
surprise the politicians who have been
taking their tips from the Demo-
cratic press.
Frank P. Flint and the promoters of
his candidacy are making an active
and somewhat enthusiastic campaign.
Leaders in the Flint camp claim that
their candidate will take the lead on
the first ballot. A report last evening
that four members of the Alameda del
egation have resolved to vote for Flint
gave upward tendency to the stock of
the Los Angeles aspirant. Gossip under
the palms was to the effect that Gov
ernor Pardee had given a hint favor
able to Flint. Close friends of the Gov
ernor, however, insist that he is abso-
lutely neutral.
