The scrambles for office in the Demo
cratic ranks in this count)', arc again be
coming apparent m every township and
borough. Already a larfre number of can
didates are announced, who are willing to
serve their country in a lucrative office.
Many of these aspirants are -well known
office seekers, who have been before the
peoplc,but were cajoled, flattered, promised
and then quietly set aside by the Ring that
has ruled the party and dictated the nomi
nations for years, simply because they did
uot suit these men, who feared they could
not be moulded in such a way as to carry
out their veiws and work to their own in
terests. As is well known for years, the
motto of the "Ring" lias Iteen "rule or
ruin," and it was almost an impossibility
for an honest Democrat to get a nomina
tion, as they were invariably slaughtered
before going into convention if they ap
peared obnoxious to the rulers. AVc cite
these instances to remind honest men to
guard against the corruption, chicanery
and positive political dishonesty, which
exists in the Democratic party of North
umberland county, and show the jeople
the importance of throwing off the yoke
that has been held on their necks for years
by a few bold unscrupulous men, who will
sacrifice everything to keep control of the
offices w hereby their aims can be subserv
ed. The people of Northumberland county
have at last experienced the difference be
tween the misrule of Democratic officers
and Republicans, who have held office with
in 1 few years past, from Congress down
to County Auditor. All will admit that
this district has never been as ably repre
sented as it is by our present representative,
the Hon. J. B. Packer. Not alone has he
represented us honestly, but he has by his
talent, labor and iudustry, gained a nation
al reputation as well as local, which every
freeman of old Northumberland county
can joint to with pride.
The President Judge, 1 Ion. W. M. Rocke
feller, as a jurist, ranks among the highest,
and since he presides over the courts in
this county, there has been such a change
that our neighbors refer to him as an exam
ple worthy of imitation. The District At
torney, Jno. Kay Clement, has stood by
his work until his name has become a ter
ror to the offenders of the law. The Sheriff,
S. II. Rothcrmel, is already looked upon
as the model Sheriff of this county. Not
harsh or severe, but punctual to a point,
and the business in his office will bear the
closest scrutiny.
Io the Prothouotary, L. T. Rohrbach,
are found all the good qualities uecessary
to make an excellent officer, and his books
and the office show that he has not disap
pointed the expectation of his friends. The
Commissioners who now control the board,
Messrs. Yastiue and Durham, were select
ed to bring about a reform in our county
Jinances, which every tax payer in the
county will readily discover, has already
been performed. Since they are in office,
the county debt which usually ranged from
?20,0K) to $40,000, in which the interest
had to be paid annually, while from SCO,
tXKJ to 2150,000 remaining in the hands of col
lectors, has been paid. The county is out
of debt, and no jurors or others holding
county orders are compelled to sell them
at a discount, still the county taxes have
been greatly reduced. These are acts that
speak loud in praise of those officers. lie
sides, we find them economical in every
thing that is done for the county, and the
interests of the tax payers are constantly
looked after, and money is daily saved for
the county. Even in their own salaries
economy is visible, as the bills for both
were but a trifle above that of the retiring
Democratic Commissioner. The board of
Auditors is composed of the most compe
tent men that could have bceu selected.
The Democrat in the board is probably the
best mathematician in the Democratic
ranks, who admits that no fairer exhibit
was ever given to the tax payers, than the
last published. With such work of reform,
the promises of the Republican party has
been fully vindicated, and all have lieen
made the gainer. As the nominations for
county offices will again betnade soon, we
look for the best men to le selected for the
different offices. It is the duty of the Re
publican party every where, to chohe their
best men as standard bearers. The suc
cess of the party is far above the special
claims of any aspirant to party favor.
Personal considerations should also in all
cases be cast aside, aud the strongest and
liest men only put forward to carry the
party's banner. This done, we will be
kept from misrule, and continue in good
times by economy and honesty in our coun
ty affairs.
A statement of the gros s earnings of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company during
the first six months of the present year has
just been published. The receipts on all
the lines east of Pittsburg have been 218,
031,8oG, the expenses have been $11,80,
073, and tbe net earnings $0,204,793. The
gross earnings have fallen off, as compared
with 1873, over a million and a half, owiug
to the dull times ; but the expenses have
been reduced nearly three millions, so that
the 'net earnings show an increase of
380,422. Should the unexpired portion of
the year present as favorable a showing,
tbe increase for 1H74 Mil amount to up
wards of two and three-quarter millions of
dollars.
A Dangerous Counterfeit. A dan

The Tilton and Beecher Scandal
is still going on in Brooklyn, and the de
velopments, as the investigation gradually
progresses, as published in the New York
paer8, seem to furnish popular reading.
The scandal is being hashed and re-hashed
until it has become disgusting to sound
morals : it would have Wen far better for
morality had the proceedings of the inves
tigating committee been entirely suppress
ed. The proceedings are too lengthy for
publication in detail, and if they were con
densed we doubt the propriety of laying
them before our readers, particularly the
younger portion of them, as they are not
caku'ated to improve their standard of
morality, nor iti any wise preserve that de
gree of chastity w hich it is the duty of pa
rents to teach tbeir sous and daughters.
Resides, as this scandal is against the most
prominent expounder of the gospel in Ame
rica, it is natural for persons to draw infe
rences derogatory to the ministry in gene
ral which has its effect upon the unthink
ing. The vile seize upon it to dishonor re
ligion, and the church to a great extent
would lose its prestige. It caunot be con
cealed that the conviction of Mr. Beechcr
of the oflence charged against him, aud his
downfall, will give skeptics aud faultfinders
animation for a warfare ou the church.
But Mr. Beechcr is not the church nor is
the church Mr. Beechcr. AVc utterly re
pudiate the idea that the principles of reli
giou or the cause of Christianity is bound
up with him or any other living man.
Should he be convicted the cause of true
religion will not thereby suffer, since this
very religion condemns sin in him as well
as iu every one else, and anybody who can
find occasion in this "scandal" to sneer at
virtue or piety, is greatly to be; pitied and
dispiscd.
The last phase of the case is the arrest of
Tilton for libel which will now bring the
case before the court, its proper place. It
w ill there be disposed of as any other cri
minal oflence, aud the real character of the
charge will be illicited. Nothing reliable
can be obtained through an irresponsible
and perhaps partial committee.
A New Octiireak. The following
paragraph from the Xortk American, a
shrewd and cautious journal, deserves seri
ous consideration, and bears out what we
have said ou various occasions as to the re
bellious temper of the south in various
quarters :
"The reactionaries in some of the (iulf
States, not satisfied with their failure and
humiliation in the Kuklux organization,
have raised a new concern called "The
White League,' aud these lodges are now
so nearly in a elate of reliellion that they
have in Mississippi got possession of the
State militia, have the State arms in their
possession, and refuse tc surrender them to
the authorities. It was this peril that in
duced the recent call of the Suite upon the
President for United States troops to pre
vent riot and bloodshed at the election
which takes place August 4lli.
"A similar organization in Louisiana
has taken the same steps, and in both
States the intentiou of the Leas tie is to take
possession of the governmental machinery
by force of arms. This is the natural re
sult of the incendiary appeals of the re
actionary journals of the south, most of
which have left nothing undone to influence
and excite the confederates, aud to gener
ate a state of feeling that might lead to
some possibble usurpation of the State
governments. All the misrepresentations
in reference to the southern Republicans
seem to have this purpose alone. In Loui
siana aud Mississippi the matter has come
to a head, and will soon be settled, we
trust, by the stroug arm of the National
power."
FORTY MILLION LAWS I IT.
THE GREAT CASE OF TURNBULL VS. PAR
DEE. A despatch from Mauch Chunk under
date of July 21st says : The great !40,
000,000 coal land lawsuit of Turubull vs.
Pardee and others, which has been pend
ing in the courts of this State for two years,
has been decided in favor of the defendants,
under the provisions of the law of Penn
sylvania governing the gaining of title to
land by treasurer's sale for arrears of
taxes.
The questiou at stake was the title to
several thousand acres of land in lower
Luzerne county, rich in deposits of coal,
held by the defendants, and claimed by
James Turnbull, as the heir of Alexander
and James Turubull, deceased. The land
is in the heart of the coal fields and was
the property of the Turubull family, once
prominent in Philadelphia, long lx:fore it
was known to contain coal. The last
Turnbull in whom the title rested was
James Turnbull, deceased, father of the
claimant, lie neglected to keep the taxes
on it paid, and it was sold at Treasurer's
sale. The property subsequently came
into the hands of Oris Pardee and other
great capitalists. The father of the plain
tiff died in Philadelphia about forty years
ago, before the great value of the laud was
known. He left a divorced wife aud the
plaintiff, then a mere child. Sometime
after the death of his father, young Turn
bull went to sea. His mother, in 1S j2, be
lieving that her sou was the rightful owner
to the land in Luzerne county, made efforts
to have the claim substantiated. She found
a friend and adviser in O. II. Wheeler,
Esq., then a lawyer in this place. He
shared her belief in the justice of her son's
claim, and recommended an ejectment suit
to recover. It being necessary to find the
missing heir before auything could be done,
they commenced a search for him. For
twenty years they sought and waited anxi
ously to hear of his whereabouts. Finally,
in 1871, they heard of him iu Mazatlan,
Mexico. He was summoned home, and
arrived ia Philadelphia early in 1872.
His career had been one of constant dan
ger and hardship. On his first voyage he
was shipxvrecked. With eight companions
he floated for nine days on the ocean in an
open boat. It was picked up near the
Island of St. Thomas, with all its inmates
dead but Turubull. Recovering from this
voyage, he went to Central America, and
in 1S40, t California. lie remained there
a year or two, and made considerable mo
ney, adhering to a resolution made when he
left home to touch no intoxicating drink
and never gamble. leaving California, lie
went to Mexico, engaging in the construc
tion of a canal at Mazatlan. While there
he was robbed several times, and was once
left for dead, with twelve daggers sticking
in him, by a gang of Mexicans, who robbed
him. On the way from California to Mexi
co he was the victim of a steamboat ex
plosion, in which over a hundred were kill
ed, he being one of a very few who escaped.
He was several times shipwrecked, but
lived to answer the the summons to come
home and prove his claim to immense
wealth. He worked faithfully in his cause,
but takes his great defeat philosophically.

'Look uion this picture, and this."'
As we shall have to meet our ancient foe,
the Democracy, in battle once more in the
campaign now about opening, it may not
be amiss to look upon the picture of the
thing we shall have to combat. Its very
hideousness may nerve us for the conflict,
by impressing upon us the necessity of rid
ding the world of a monster ; or to narrow
the expression, saving our country from
the curse of its ascendency aud government
We preseut a crayon sketch of the Republi
can party and a life-like portrait of the De
mocracy, the latter strongly but perhaps
not too highly colored. The artist may be
partial, but the pride of art keeps him with
in the bounds of truth and prevents him
from indulging in caricature. The Buffalo
.,"..;; rc.s is the paiutcr, and here are the
pictures as he draws them :
"It is pitablc to mark the maniacal rav
ings of that miserable, disjointed, and hope
lessly abaudoncd political organization
kuowu as the IKimocracy. Exhibiting as
many shades of complexion, and broken up
iuto a greater number of crazy factions than
ever cursed the arena of French polities',
blackened by every crime in the political
calendar, and cast out as an incorrigible
political reprobate, it still has the brazen
effrontery to assume the attitude of a cring
ing suppliant and plead for a restoration of
that confidence which, by an unexampled
course of corruption, rascality and abuse
ofpower.it forfeited more than fourteen
years ago. We should be disposed to treat
its impudence with some degree of toler
ation if it did not descend to the contempti
ble meanness of attempting to cover up its
own infamy by the grossest misrepresenta
tions of the party disputing its claims.
It is not assumed in vindication of the
Republican party that its administrations
have been absolutely spotless and pure, or
tlrtt its record for the past fourteen years
shows no single instance of official malfea
sance or abuse of trust What we do claim
is that the history of the world furnishes no
such example of honest determination to
hunt out aud punish with uusparing sevcri1
ty the evildoers within its own ranks, as
has been shown by the party in power dur
ing the last few years. No rank, however
exalted, and no influence, however great,
could stand between the culprit and the
severity of justice when guilt was once
traced to his door.
We challenge the Democracy to pre
sent a single parallel instance during the
whole history of its supremacy. That
party has been the nest in which every
species of political rascality has been
hatched. The most gigantic schemes of
frauds aud misrule have been planned and
perpetrated within its lines, in no catc has
a criminal bceu exposed within its own
ranks and punished by its own hand.
When Republican journals have dragged
its infamy to the light, it has assumed an
air of defiance and gloried in its shame.
And when its plunder and notorious pecul
ations could no longer he borne, and an
outraged people have demanded the ex
posure punishment of its crimes, with the
aid of its press, bribed and steeped to the
ears iu corruption, it has done its best to
conceal and defend them.
And this is the party that to day is
clamoring for another lease of power aud
promises all sorts of reform and blessing to
the nation when its claims shall be once
more conceded. We have shown by re
peated exposures of its utter lack of con
sitency, honor or truthfulness, what the
couutry is to expect if the Democracy
should once more come into power. We
sicken at the recital of its infamy as per
petrated iu lK.'alities where it has gained an
asceudeucy.
In New Ilamshireand Connecticut, power
is shamelessly prostituted to partisan cuds,
election districts are gcrrymandred to con
trol the ballot-box, and the predominance
of the oppressor is maintained iu utter dis
regard of order, precedent and law.
Iu the South it is inaugurating a war of
races, and threatens to deluge with carnage
and dcsolatiou a large section of the couu
try now burdened with debt and taxation
the fruits of its own infamous misrule.
If its policy in the South means anything,
it means the undoing of all that has been
accomplished in the last fifteen years ; it
would back into order chaos, and re-establish
slavery on the overthrow of freedom.
Wherever we look, the Democracy pre
sents the same ghastly spectacle of rapacity,
oppressi on aud wrong, and by its persistent
misdeeds gives fair warning of what it will
do, if agaiu entrusted with the reins of
power. In Indiaua it foreshadows dishon
or and ruin to the nation by an increase of
paper money and repudiation of the nation
al debt.
In Connecticut the cloven-foot of Tam
many has been prominently displayed, while
in IiOuisiaiia aud other States of the South,
a reign of terror is threatened which will
outstrip all that has preceded it, in deeds of
violence aud blood. The tin.c has hardly
come to entrust the interests of the nation
to such a party as this, and the time is far
distant when such a mistake will be com
mitted by the people.

Pittsp.ueg, July 27. Probably the
most disastrous storm ever known here
visited our city last night. It had rained
at intervals all day, but no danger was ap-
prehended until about eight o'clock in the
evening, when the rain came down in per-
feet torrents. The water from the hills
came rushing down in low portions of the
city, carrying away houses and ev rything
in its course.
The greatest damage was in Butcher's
Run District, in Allegheny City. Water
coming from hills down the narrow hollow
formed a gulf and swallowed up houses and
unfortunate inmates before they could
escape. Houses were afloat or hurled to
pieces, and in some families only one or
two have escaped.
One man lost his wife and two children.
Another man at Mansfield lost his wife and
four children, and another family of six
persons- father, mother and six children
were all lost. It ia believed that 1"0 per
sons were lost.
THE (iULAT FLOOD.

flood which wrought such terrible destruc

(From tlio Kwuiug Ttlc;n li ventrnl.. :;.!.- I M.
A FEARFUL HORROR!
Allegheny City and Pittsburg were last
night visited by the most fearful disaster
that has ever occurred to them. All fliers
pale iuto insignificance the great fire
the Arsenal calamity the Hood of '32 all
lose the grandeur of their tcrriblencss when
compared with the fearful sweep of the
Storm King that devastated portions of our
two cities last night, and carried over a
hundred of men, women and children, in
an instant almost, from the happy scenes
of their Sunday evening homes to the dread
uncertainties of eternity.
God pity the victims to this fearful dis
aster, aud comfort the stricken wrecks of
homes they leave behind. But alas I iu
some cases there arc no homes left. Father,
mother and children, with all their house
hold goods, swept away. The mind can
not take in the fearful stroke. You who
arc reading the accounts of it in your quiet
homes, have no conception of its horrors.
Only those who have this morning visited
the scenes of the flood and shrunk back
stricken by the details of death and des
truction that met their eyes in the dead
bodies of men, women and children, or re
alized the physical force of the flood in the
wrecked and splintered dwellings lately
the happy Sunday homes of the dead lying
around can conceive the Almighty power
that has forced this culmination of horrors.
Whole families have been swept out of
existence. In 01 c case a weak babe is all
that remains of the household iu others a
gray-haired father or mother or again a
stricken wife with a helpless family, or a
despairing husband bereft of all. In Alle
gheny we hear of a father, mother and nine
children that have gone, leaving uot a trace
behind of llieir family existence.
PARTICULARS.
The torrents of water rushed furiously
down the streams in the upper part of Al
legheny, notably iu Butcher's Ruu, sweep
ing in its course houses aud temporary
buildings of every character, and over
whelming and drow uing a number of per
sons. There was a succession of flashes of
lightning seldom, if ever witnessed in these
parts. The heavens were lighted so that
they were as clear as day, and a continuous
glare of lurid flame preceded and unbroken
peal of thunder that shook our most solid
and substantial buildings.
The entire flat, from Mason avenue to
Troy Hill, as far out as Gerst's brewery,
was flooded.
ALLEGHENY.
Allegheny is all excitement on account
of the great flood of last night. Thousands
arc flocking to the scenes of the disaster ;
men are laboring to extricate the dead
bodies, and up to one o'clock to-day sixty
two had been found, one hundred arc re
ported missing, aud the search is being
coutinued, amid the wildest excitement
O'HARA STREET.
The scene on this street beggars descrip
tion, aud can only be realized by being
seen. Whole blocks of building are jammed
together in one mass of destruction. Here
many lives are supposed to have been lost,
and the work of extricating the bodies
was being rapidly pushed forward. Not
less than three thousand people were at
this place at an early hour this morning,
and tho utmost excitement prevailed.
CENTER AVENUE.
The scene here is only a repetilioi. of
that on O'Hara street On this street, iu
a single frame buiUling, one family consist
ing of a mother and nine children, were all
lost. Wagons, horses, household goods,
sewing machies and rubbish all lie huddled
together in one immense mass. Just below
this street Butcher's run and Soft Soap run
come together, and houses are piled pro
miscuously together, also wagons, horses,
barrel slaves and rubbish, presenting a
spectacle which is almost sickening to look
upon.
SPRING GARDEN AVENUE.
The destruction in this avenue was not
so great, only a few houses being destroyed,
but a number of lives. are reported lost.
The water reached the second story of the
buildings on this Centre street, aud it is
astonishing that the houses in this locality
escaped with such slight injury.
MADISON AVENUE.
The water came down at this point ter
rifically and piled a lot of wagons and
horses all in one heap. Buildings were
swept from their foundations aud destruc-1
i,M js visable ou every hand.
Searching for the dead bodies began at
an early hour this morning, and workmen
poured in from even quarter. Buildings
were lorn to pieces, rubbish removed,
bricks thrown into the street, and every
thing possible done in order to recover the
bodies of the missing. Women were pre
sent in great numbers, anxiously looking
get a sight at the remains of the dead, but
are prevented from obtaining entrance by
a determined doorkeeper. Many bodies
are iu such a shape as to bo difficult to 10-
cognize, being badly Inuised, wlme others
! art) turning decomposition having set
'r1, ' Pon l'lc whole, however, they are in
as good a condition as could be expected.
The principal loss will be in the district
above given, but outside of this the damage
is heavy ; but the contrast being so great,
the minor losses arc hardly noticed.
destruction of life is the all absorbed topic,
I ami every one seems to be iu sympathy
j with those w ho have barely escaped with
their own lives tuily to learn that their
' families have perished in tho maddened
j waters.
The cause of this inundation was from
the bursting of a sewer on Madison avenue.
The rain poured down in torrents and soon
the sewer filled to its utmost rapacity, and
the pressu c being too great, it gave way
carrying destruction before it. Soon the
water began to pour into the houses, and
in a few moment later happy families were
ushered into eternity.
IIAIR-IJREADTH ESCAPE.
Mr. Randolph Artz occupied a frame
building on the south side of O'Hara street,
and a family consisting of a wife and six
children. His oldest daughtrr was visiting
an aunt in another part of the city at the
time of the dreadful catastrophe. Mr.
Artz was in an upper room playiug with
his children, when all at once the building
swung from its foundation, and the screams
of his children arc described as heart-rending.
The building lodged against a brick
edifice standing near by, when a ladder
was hoisted and the entire family rescued,
for which they express their thankfulness.
THE RECOGNIZED RODIES.
On visiting Messrs. Fairman it Yol's
ou Sandusky street, twenty-four bodies
were found to be in their possession.
Among those identified were the following :
Henry Leipold and four children ; Freder
ick Ayler (cooper), Rosa Metzler, Sophia
Metzler, Conrad Greinzor, Sophia Grein
zer, Mary Couley, one of Mr. Shatter's
children. The balance were yet unrecog
nized. WOOD'S RUN.
Nine lives were lost at Wood's Run.
The following aie the names of the miss
ing, five of whom have been recovered :
John Gorman and two children, two chil
dren belongiug to James Forden. Mr.
Gorman is jet to be found and diligent
search is being made to ascertain his w here
abouts. Diligent search is also beiuy made
for the others who are reported lost A
number of narrow escapes were made in
this quarter. Luke Dillion and family,
consisting of three girls and two boys,
barely escaped with their lives. The loss
of property will reach s.",0,muO in this sec
lion. THE DAMAGE OUTSIDE OK THE FATALI
TIES. Outside of the fatalities recorded above,
the damage was quite as extensive as in
Pittsburg, but iu the intense excitement
prevailing at the scene of the terrible casu
alty it is impossible to obtain definite in
formation in this regard.
Large holes have been washed iu Heaver
avenue and Beuna Yista, Fremont and
Irwin avenues, Robinson and many other
streets, and thousands of dollars will be
required to repair them. Large quantities
of lumber were washed into the river.
The heavy iron sewer plate in front of
the Friendship engine house, at the corner
of Arch and Jackson streets, was carried at
least a square up the former street. The
office of the Kountz line of street horse cars
in Manchester was struck bj' lightning, but
the damage resulting therefrom was slight.
At tho comer of Federal street and Mont
gomery avenue the sewers were obstructed,
and the water filled the cellar of Druit's
drug store, extinguished the gas and ren
dering worthless goods valued at two hun
dred dollars.
STRUCK liY LIGHTNING.
The house of Mrs. llobb, on Monterey
street, was struck by lightning and Mrs.
Robb rendered insensible from the shock.
An engine wcighiug :,."00 pounds, standing
near the glue factory on O'Hara street,
was swept away like a chip aud has not been
found.
SAWMILL RUN.
The storm last night, which has proven
so disastrous to both life and property in
this immediate viciuity, appeared to rule
with unabated sway from one end to the
other of Sawmill Run, and both life and pro
perty has suffered so disastrously that the
night of the 2oth of July will ever be re
membered in that vicinity.
LOSS OF LIFE.
In some cases whole families have been
swept away by the torrent, and not a sin
gle one left to tell the tale. And many fami
lies are to-dajT mourning the loss of a fa
ther, sister or brother who have not yet
been found, and of whom nothing is known
or can be learned, and this probability is
that the majority of those not found have
boon washed into the Ohio river.
DEPTH OF THE WATER.
At a distance of two miles from the Ohio
river the water was some fifteen or eighteen
feet in depth, and where the two runs meet
there was about one acre of debris, consist
ing of shanties, lumber, carts, wagons and
everything mcnliouablc.
The iron bridge across Main street was
washed away, and the entire structure car
ried down the stream some six bundled
feet.
The gas tank is upset and lying on its i
side, whiclr cannot be brought into use for ;
sometime. j
The Sawmill Run railroad bridge, about j
one mile up the stream, where it crosses it,
was tarried away for a distance of about
six hundred feet
Ziegler's store, a new, two story brick
structure, which was lately erected, was
hit by the water, aud by those who saw it,
state in three minutes there was nothing
left of it but the foundation.
Taylor's salt works, which have lately
been completed, and, it said, cost upwards '
of 30,000, were entirely swept away, the:
foundation itself not even i eing left to teil
where they stood.
The oil refinery was also demolished, and
tho run is strewed with the rion tanks, j
One of them was carried about six hundred
feet off.
AT MANSFIELD. ;
Intelligence from Mansfield, Pa., gives ;
an neeoimt. of tlio. mvpr-tiinr nwnv nf tlif '

of that woman. The body had not been j
,. 1 . , . . , ., . , !
ii.i 1.1 amlb aicuuil L. .LUUlilLl uYL ll- t
ing on Campbell' run was carried off and
also six stables.
The Pan Handle railroad bridge over
Campbell's Run was washed away, and
also another bridge called "No. 0," about
a mile further west The track two miles
east of Mansfield has taken a slide of thirty
feet to one side, the right hand track being
some distance past where the left hand one
was originally.
The Try slicct sewer broke, in conse
quence of the heavy pressure of water, and
a stationary engine aud part of the round
house of the Counellsvillc railroad was
swallowed up. The new sewer afterwards
broke and fell upon the old one.
In addition to the above damages, the
track of the Connellsville railroad, as al
ready stated, suffered considerable damage
at the gas works, at Soho, and at several
different places between Birmingham and
Saho.
The damage on the Cleveland and Pitts
burg railroad is very extensive, and we '
learn from those who came up this morn
ing, that no traiu3 are running between
Smith's Ferry and Pittsburg. From In
dustry to Rogers' Ferry, a distance of three
miles, the track is covered with solid rock,
and for three hundred yards below Steuben
ville the road bed is washed from uuder the
tracks. No trains are running on the road.
The tracks of the various passenger rail
way companies being covered iu many
places, travel was seriously obstructed aud
continues to-day. Tho Pleasant Yaliey
and Birmingham are not running any cars
at all.
AT CASTLE SHANNON.
The loss at Castle Shauuon will be very
considerable. The bridge at Wheeler's
Stalion was party washed away. At Fair
haven the loss is much greater, S. Provost
& Bros, estimate their loss at between two
and three thousand dollars.
Mr. Rogersou'a blacksmith shop was
carried oft the foundation aud totally
wrecked. The Baptist church at Wheeler's
station was also swept away and destroy
ed, and the whole valley presents a terribly
forlorn appearance. Hay and wheat stacks,
wagon wheels, parts of bridges, and every
conceivable kind of property were carried
along with the torrent, and lies to-day
strewn along tho valley.
ADDITIONAF PARTICULARS.
The New York Herald correspondent
gives the number of housos destroj'ed as
far as aecertained at 147 ; number of bodies
recovered, 118; missing, 40; and adds
that this "will probably turu out to be an
under estimate." The Pittsburg Keeaiwj
Vltmnich, iu its yesterday's five o'clock
edition, places the loss of lives at one hun
dred and forty-two, and says the names of
missing parties are continually coming iu.
Tho extent of territory damaged by the
flood is from twenty to twenty-five miles.
The theory that the disaster was caused by
the bursting of a water spout, as was the
case in Nevada, seems to ba generally
adopted.
A I9EE1'.F.
San Francisco, July 2o. A despatch
from Eureka, Nevada, gives the particulars
of the storm yesterday. It had been rain
inu with groat violence from early in the
morning until noon, when a cloud burst on
the lofty range of mountains to the east
ward, and a vast volume of water rushed
down the canyon whore the town is locat
ed. The eastern part of the town was flooded
in ten minutes by a fearful rush of water,
which was constantly increasing in vio
lence, depth and impetuosity. The people
in that portion of the town were hemmed
in, and every moment houses were torn
from their foundations and swept away
with their occupants. Ropes were procur
ed, and a line formed of brave meu thus
protected dashed into the torrent aud saved
many lives. Only a few women and child
ren were lost.
The body of one Mrs. Bray was recover
ed. Roger Robonett, reporter of the .Scii
tiiul, is among the drowned. The Sentinel
office was swept away, and all that part of
the town in which were situated dance
houses and other places of amusement, is
gone. The flood lasted only half an hour.
The total loss of life, it is believed, will
reach twenty-five or thirl-. The weather
is still threatening.
Another despatch states as follows : "A
water-spout burst near Carson City, Neva
da, to-day. causing great destruction of
property. No lives were lost.''
Private despatches from Eureka say that
fourteen dead bodies have been recovered.
The following additional names of victims
have been received : James Galviu, J. W.
Talbot, J. Darnfy, John Rauft, W. J. Mc
( ieary aud William Smith. The loss by the
flood is SpH, 00O.
Wells, July 2". About thirty feet of
the Central Pacific railway track was wash
ed out by the bursting of a rain cloud,
twenty-eight miles east of this place, yes
terday. The easteru bound express train
is detained. A train with workmen has
passed to repair damages, and anxious
passengers are waiting their progress.
The western bound train is expected here
about noon.
Iilarll.r Attempt at JIurIer.
Wilkes 11ARRE, July 20. This morning
at Jermyn, in this county, Alfred Green,
superintendent of a coal mine, started to
iuspeet the mine and see if it was free from
gas and that everything was all right, as
was his regular custom before the miners
entered for the day's work.
He was accosted, while on his way, by
three strangers who asked him for work.
He replied that he had a full force, and did
not need their services. They then drew
their revolvers, and fired nine shots at him,
two of which took effect in hi3 left shoulder
and side. His cries auJ the reports of the
pistols attracted the attention of Robt.
Pieiee and Edward McC'racken, who came
to his assistance
The ruffians turned upon them, but
Pierce defended them with his revolver and
shut one of the strangers through the head,
killing him instantly. The other two rau.
One of them was wounded before he got
out of range.
Mr. Green's woltnds arc pronounced
dangerous, but not necessarily fatal. The
assailant, who was killed, was unknown to
all who viewed his corpse. A rumor

who was wounded had been captured, and
i that the exasperated miners and citizens
of Jermyn haOJyucbed him.

New York, 2, 1S74.
LEECH EU-TILTON.
Long before this scrawl reaches you the
lc!e-rh, ,rou3ht you the full
tt of Iheodore T.lton's statement of the
trouble between himself and Ilenrv Ward
, ,
ijcecner, witn .Mr. leecher s reply thereto.
All I can give you is the effect of these
publications upon the public of New York
and Brooklyn, where both parties are well
known. The statement of Tilton is more
direct and damaging than those closest to
him supposed it would be. It was expect
ed that he would undertake to show that
Beechcr Lad made au attempt upon Mrs.
Tilton, and that he had invaded other
homes, all of which he would endeavor to
substantiate by circumstantial evidence.
But his sworn statement that the great
preacher had actually seduced Mrs. Theo
dore Tilton, struck the community like a
thunderbolt from a clear sky. And so
skillfully is the statement made, so care
fully arc all the loop-holes closed up, that
Mr. Bcochcr's best friends are compelled
to admit that it has an ugly look and that
Tilton had cause to do as he had done. Of
course, the question is asked, "Why did
he not right himself before ? Why did he
not cast off this unfaithful wife and drag
down the seducer at the time lie made tbe
discovery V" If askers of these questions
know Tilton and his wife tbe questions
would not be asked at all. Mrs. Tilton is
a woman of a most intense religious nature,
of a singularity sensitive nature a wo
man, iu short, who lives in a morbid, un
healthy world, which is peopled by her
imagination with all sorts of angels and
demons. A sweet, njiiritueHe woman is
Elizabeth Tilton, but her nature is so in
tense, so morbidly religious, that she is
precisely the woman that a bad spiritual
guide could do anything with he chose to
do. She believed in Henry Ward Beechcr
she idolized and worshiped him. He
was her idea of a perfect man to her he
was mere than a man, he was a demi-god.
With her nature she could be made wax
in the hands of a man like Beecher.
And knowing this appreciating the p
culiar nature of his wife, Tilton believed
he had been outraged, but had that pity
upon his wife that kept the secret in his
own bosom till he wa3 compelled in self
defence to make part of it public. It will
be remembered that in his first statement
he only hinted at the matter, without go
ing into detail. This was intended as his
warning to Mr. Beecher's friends to keep
away from him. Had they done so the
quarrel would have stopped there. But
these friends believed they could get pos
session of Mrs. Tilton in such a way as to
discredit any statement he could make,
and they defied him. Mrs. Tilton left his
bouse and sided with his enemies, where
upon Tilton was driven to the wall, and
made desperate, made the statement which
is now before the world.
Beecher, of course, denies everything,
and Mrs. Tilton has followed suit But
the public do and will believe Tilton, for
there have been rumors affecting the char
acter of Mr. Beecher in-circulatiou for
years, and the opionion is that these ru
niors have a foundation in fact Then the
caso has been pettifogged in all sorts of
ways by his friends. The Committee of
Investigation was selected by himself, and
the Committee have, from the beginning,
acted more a3 his attorneys than as his
judges. It is safe to say that Henry Ward
Beecher's suu is sinking and in a few
months it will go down forever. It is a
pity that a brain so large, aud a soul so all
embracing, could not have been so balanced
as to have run on to the end. Alas ! for
poor humanity.
kidnapping.
An incident occurring in Philadelphia
may not seem to be exactly the thing for a
New York letter, but in this case of kid
napping in the City of Brotherly Love is so
peculiar that I went to investigate it
Some weeks ago, little Charlie, the son of a
merchant residing in Gcrmautown, named
Ross, was missed from his home. The
parents in their agony tried every possible
way to find the missing child. The police
were putou the track aud special detective
were employed, but all to no purpose. The
child was nowhere to be fouud. As a last
resort, the newspapers were used, and ad
vertisements were inserted offering a re
ward for the recovery of the boy, and these
brought responses. A few days after the
appearance of the first advertisement, a
notice appeared in the Lcihjer as follows :
Ross "We be ready to negotiate."
Further advertisements drew out an
swers uutil a correspondence was effected
which revealed a horror scarcely to be
credited in this day and age of the world.
The child had been enticed iuto a wagon
by two men who had driven it off and had
it safely hiddeu. The ransom demanded
was $20,000 ! The kidnappers informed
Mr. Ross that they knew he could not of
Ids own means raise $20,000, but they knew
he had wealthy friends who would advance
that amount rather than have the child
come to harm, and that unless their condi
tions were complied with the boy would
be destroyed. The father and mother, in
llieir terror, consented to the terms, and
the negotiations for the pavement of the
money are now in progress.
Mr. Ross, the father, is a member of a
large wholesale dry goods house iu Phila
delphia, who lost in the panic last fall the
bulk of his fortune. The payment of this
enormous sum will ruiu him, but love for
his child is paramount, and he will do it.
The questiou that comes up is, whose
children are safe ? Here is a little four-
year old boy taken up on the public street
and spirited away; and so securely hidden
that the police fail to get any tlue to his
whereabouts. They cannot even get any
trace of his abductors, and the father, to
regain possession of his child, is compelled
to pa- an enormous ransom. Such tilings j
wore done years ago in the semi-barbarous
parts of Italy, and Gypsies have traded in
the lives of children of the rich, but it has
been unknown till now in America. Is it
to be made a regular business ? It seems
to be safer than house-breaking or forgery.
For all the police have done or seem likely
to do, the kidnappers will make a pecu
niary success of the venture, and get off
scott free.
TnE TOOR OF NEW YORK
arc not altogether neglected. The New
Y'ork Times some years years ago inaugu
rated a system of excursions for the poor
children which was grandly successful.
They chartered boats and loaded them
with children and took a long sail, a half
day sail up, the River or Sound to some
beautiful grove, and disembarking gave
the children games and eport3, and what
was belter for them, a plentiful lunch of
good things. These excursions take place
twice a week, and no one can estimate the
good they have accomplished. A proposi
tion has been made to give regular excur
sions to the sea, of the working women of
the city. They labor year in and year out
in factories or in their garrets for the
merest possible pittance, just enough to
keep soul and body together, and such a
thing as a day on the water or in the green
fields is something beyond their means. To
thi3 class, excursions, such as the poor
children have been enjoying for three years,
would prove an inestimable boon. It will
be done, for New Y'ork i3 charitable city
when called upon.
TnE CITY IN SUMMER.
New York is all away from home jnst
now. Jones i3 at Long Branch, Smith at
Newport. Brown in tbe White Mountains,
Thompson in Europe, and where the rest
are the Lord only knows. One thing is
certain, they are not at home, or if they
are they keep the front shutters closed and
arc ia the back parlors, to make believe
they are out of to wc, for no woman of fash
ion, though she has the coolest and most
delightful house on the Island, would con
sent to live in the city during the months
of July and August No matter though
she has to take a room at a watering place
scarcely larger than the Saratoga trunk
that contains her thirty dresses, no matter
if she is compelled to endure heat, dust,
worry and discomfort of all kinds, when
she might be entirely comfortable In her
own home, fashion decrees a residence out
of town during the summer, and she bows
to this as she does to all its other decrees.
She comes back in the fall worn and jaded
to a degree, but she has been "out of town"
and her duty is done.
ruslness
is a littk- duller than last week, if any dif
ference. Which is to say there was noth
ing doing last week, and this week the busi
ness meu have stopped talking about the
dullness. But they all expect a heavy
fall trade. They say the people have used
up tho stocks on hand, and that they must
begin to buy this fall. They are right
The enormous crops now being harvested
will get us money, and the wheels of trade
will begin to revolve again. We are all
living in hopes. The month of September
will show a revival, and by October men
will forget the terrible year they have pass
ed through in the pleasurable excitement
of their fresh prosperty. So mote i be.
