Corporal c. Milton CARRIER, Company
c, Tenth regiment, Washington;
James A. Barbe, Company K, Tenth
regiment, Waynesburg, and Private
Clyde Morrison, Company D, Sixteenth
regiment, Oil City.
The dead were members of the Sec
ond brigade, composed of regiments
from the western part of the state,
most of the storm damage occurring
in the section of the field occupied by
that BRIGADE
The tent which Governor Stuart had
been occupying during the weeks en-
campment was blown down by the
terrific wind and the governor and
those who were his guests at the time
were buried under the canvas. With
the governor were Charles B. Mann of
the state railroad commission. Colonel
Good of the First regiment, Philadel-
phia, and Captain P. L. Weaver, for.
merly Of the First regiment. They
were all thrown to the ground by the
falling canvas, but managed to crawl

Berne, Switzerland, July 24.-There
was frightful accident in the
Loetschberg tunnel, in the Bernese
Alps, which resulted in the death of
twenty-five workmen.
The men were drilling inside the
tunnel. Without warning their tools
pierced the wall that separated them
from a subterranean river or lake.

The wall gave way with crash and
torrent of water and mud rushed
into the tunnel and filled it. All of
the workmen were drowned. They
were Italians. Fortunately, owing to
the early hour, only comparatively
few men had entered the tunnel. The
disaster occurred 2,400 yards from the
northern entrance. It is believed that
the men tapped the Kander river,
which flows through the mountains
above the tunnel. d. The water now
chokes the tunnel within 1000 yards
Of the entrance.
