Pittsburgh, July ej.-Over sixty lives
were claimed Wednesday by foods ana
cloudbursts in southwestern pennsylvania
and West Virginia. and hundreds or
homes and business houses destroyed.
I-niontown, Penn. leads the list OF
known dead with fifteen. At Wheeling

Penn, four were drowned at Fleetwood
Penn, three were drowned. and thirty
six lives are reported to have been lost IN
other towns Of tho two states.
J'niontown, Lemont, Mount Braddock'
Connelsville and Dunbar. Penn, were
inundated. In Turtle Creek Valley the
damage is enormous and scores OF lam
flies are homeless in the upper Noughio-
rbenv Valley. Railroad traffic through a
A.! great territory is demoralized, especially

ratlyaya we're torn from their founda-
tions.
Several towns are without railroad,
mail. telephone and telegraph connec-
ltions. From West Virginia cities no re-
/ ports can be obtained because telegraph
I wires are down.
n will be several weeks before the COM
plete loss of life is known.
Work of clearing up the wreckase was
| begun to-day.
At Uniontown hundreds OF families, de-
serting homes in mad rush for safety
on the mountainside, sought shelter be-
meath improvised shacks and tents. AT
daybresk shivering women and children

waters receded upturned dwellings, shat

by some larger and stancher building.

waters began 10 recede. Rain had ceased

From the New York Post
Through the generosity of Mrs l.. e.
Holden small collection of Italian print
itives has been indefinitely lent to the
Metropolitan. Prior to distribution in the
galleries the group is being shown in the
special exhibition room where, widely
spaced between fine eastern carpets, the
pictures form a very handsome ensem-
HE. Only one is of the 14th century-a
large Madonna on gold ground, with a re-
cumhent nude Eve tempted by the SER
nent as a lower panel. The picture is
chiefly noteworthy for its large dimen-
sions. and for this odd if not unprece-
dented Juxtapostion of the woman who
brought sin into the world with her who
bore the Redeemer The piece has at
t1aeted the attention of critics. Mrs.
Berenson detected the manner of the Sien-
eee Domenico di Bartolo; Dr. Siren that of
Franeeseuccio Ghisi Of Fabriano. The
latter attributlon is the better, but both
arc unsatisfactory. The panel betrays all
the characteristics of the Bologna-Modena
school with distinct Byzantine manner
isms The compositions and forms are
exactly repeated in a Madonna at Pausula
rear Macerata, which is signed Andrea
.da Bologna, and dated 1872. He should
be the author of the Holden panel. To
this Bolognese master have recently been
assigned on new documentary evidence,
tine stories of ST. Catherine in the lower
church at Assist.
