Oh, the golden days of summer,
When the flowers are in bloom;
And the birds are singing sweetly,
Sweet music on the wing.
But the sad days that are coming:
When the flowers fade and die,
And the golden days of summer
Fade before us as a dream.

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,

pounds to 192.
She Asks to Enter Air Race.
Ame. Helen Detrieu, considered the

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.

inches of water which =overed his

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.
