Caught By Sweep of Waters While on Outing. A devastating flood is sweeping over the district about Jeannette, Pa., and it is feared that it will be the worst, experienced in years. More than 2000 persons, including many women and children, are ma- rooned on the hills of Oakford park, where the annual outing of the em- ployes of the Union Supply company, from Westmoreland and Fayette coun- ties, was being held. The park is sur- rounded by hundreds of acres of wa- ter, which has shut off the means of leaving the park. Train and trolley service has been suspended. The sounding of the fire whistles gave warping to the people of West Jeannette and Penn Station of the ap- proach of the rushing waters and they escaped. Seventy-five families are homeless, being forced to flee without any of their belongings. The water in many houses has reached the second floor of the house and is still rising. The dam- age will be great. 3 Brothers Drown While Swimming. Three sons of James P. Gillison, a farmer living eight miles northeast of Fairfield, Ill, aged seven, nine and eleven years respectively, were drown- ed while swimming in a pond. The children were missed from their home and with the use of bloodhounds were traced to the pond. . Girl Has Fasted 33 Days. In an effort to reduce her weight, Miss Lizzie Verlin, of East St. Louis, Ill, has lived on a diet of cool water for thirty-three days. Since June 21 she has reduced her weight from 211 pounds to 192. She Asks to Enter Air Race. Ame. Helen Detrieu, considered the most expert woman aviator in France, has applied for permission to enter the Gordon Bennett cup race for the world’s championship in Chicago on Sept. 2. This is the first time a wo man has sought to enter this race, | being dren of the miners are in danger of carried into the mines, as they have refused to leave the mouth of the slope. Rescue parties were quickly formed at the mines, but were baffled in their efforts to get to the imprisoned and probably drowning men. The first re- ports said that all the men had per- ished in the rush of water, but a res- cue party sent from Uniontown re-| ported that most of the miners had | taken refuge in the upper workings. Water began flowing into the mine, driving miners at work there into the remote sections of the hole. So swift was the current that the rescue party could not enter the workings through the ordinary entrances and were low- ered through ventilators, but were able to do little. The wives and children of the entombed miners congregated at the mouth of the pit, and despite the danger of being swept into the mine, stood in water knee deep and urged the rescuing parties to make haste. The business section of Dunbar, a few miles from Evans Station, is un- der four feet of water. A number of | fonte, business buildings have been destroy- ed by the rush of water down the mountainside. The wreckage is piled twenty-five feet high at a bridge of the Pennsyl- vania railroad, and it is expected to give way at any moment. Torrential rains continue to fall and a further logs of life and damage is expected. The Cool Spring reservoir was re- ported to be leaking badly and there | was danger of its going out entirely. If the dam gives way the water will sweep down the mountain upon the towns of Lemont, Youngstown, Monat Braddock and Dunbar. It is estimated that 20,000 persons reside in the four towns, and the loss of life and destruc. tion of property, it is feared, would be great, Residents of the valley have all been warned of the danger, and they are fleeing with their possessions to the mountain sides. Man Drowned on Roof. Robert Kinsella, employed by a cor- ; set company, was drowned on the top of a twelve-story huilding in New York city. Kinsella had gone to the roof to release a foot and a half of water, ! which had collected there when the drain pipe hecame clogged up wiih some rubbish. He ran his right arm down into the drain pipe after he had cleared away the rubbish from the mouth of the hole, when the suction of the rushing water caught him. He w:s drawn into the pipe up to the shoulder. Despite the efforts of three compan fons to pull him out the suction held him firmly and his head was drawn into the water which still remained on the roof. In plain sight of them. looking up at them thrnugh a few inches of water which =overed his face, he wa. drowned Lightning Kills Four. A bolt of lightning killed four in a family of seven and dangerously shocked the others in a violent ele: trical storm at Richland, in Pulask: county, Mo. The bolt struck the home of Joe Paddy. The current tore Paddy's ghoes from his feet and threw him into a corner, dead. Three children were killed, their bodies being stripped ol clothing.
