her into the servants hall, and laid her
down on the mattress.- All were sobbing
and crying, for Margaret Came had been
greatly leved by those around her.
In lialf an hour the doctor arrived.
"Is it possible the news is true?" he asked
as he leaped from his gig; the facet of those
around were sufficient answer. "Good
heavens, what a terrible business! Tell Mr.
Carne I am here."
Reginald Carne soon came down. He
was evidently terribly shaken, fie held out
his hand in silence to the doctor.
"What does it all mean ?" the latter said
huskily; "it seems too horrible to be true.
Can it be that your sister, whom I have
known ince she was a child, is dead? Mur
dered, too; it seems impossible.'!
"It does seem impossible. Doctor; but it
is true. I have seen her myself." and he
shuddered. "She has been stabbed to th e
heart."
The doctor wiped his eyes.
"Well, I must go up and see her," he
said. "Poor child, poor child. No, you
need not nag. X will go op By myseu.
Dr. Arrowsmith had attended the family
for many years, and knew perfectly well
which was Margaret's room. The old cook
was standing outside ihe door of the drawing-room.
"Here is the key, sir. I thought it bet
ter to lock the door till you came."
"Quite right," the doctor replied. "Don't
let anyone up till Mr. Voltes comes. The
servant said he was going for him. Ah,
here is Harpur. That is right, Harpur; you
' had better come up with me, butl shouldn't
touch anything if I were you until Mr.
"Voikes comes; besides, we shall be having
the Chief Constable over here presently, and
it is better to leave every thing as it is."
They entered the room together,
"Dear, dear, to think ot it now," the
constable murmured, standing awe-struck
at the door, for the course of his duty was
for the most part simple, and he had never
before been face to face with a tragedy like
this.
The doctor moved silently to the bed, and
leaned over the dead girl.
"Stabbed to the heart," he murmured;
"death must have been instantaneous." Then
he touched her arm and tried to lift it.
"She has been dead hours," he said to the
constable, "six or seven hours, I should
say. Let us look round. The window is
open, you see. Can the murderer have en
tered there?" He looked out. The wall
was covered with ivy, and a massive stem
grew close to the window. "Yes," he went
on, "an active man could have climbed
that. See, there are some leaves on the
ground. I think, Harpur, your best plan
will be to go down and take your station
there and see that no one who comer along dis
turbs anything. See, this jewel-box on the
table has been broken open and all the con
tents are gone, and I do not see her watch
anywhere. Well, that is enough to do at
present; we will locc this room up again
until Mr. Volkes comes."
"When they came down stairs, the cook
again came out.
"Please, sir, will you come in here?
Both Powlctt, Miss Margaret's maid, seems
very bad; it was she who first found it out,
and it's naturally given her a. terrible
shock. She came down looking like a mad
woman, then sbe fainted off, and she doesn't
seem to have any consciousness yet."
"Ruth Powlett! why, I have been attend
ing her for the last three weeks. Yes, such
a shock may be very serious in her case,"
and the doctor went in.
"Have you any sal volatile in the house,"
he asked,"after he had felt her pulse.
"There's some in the medicine chest, I
think, sir, but I will soon see."
She went out and presently returned
with a bottle. The doctor poured a tea
spoonful into a glass and added a little
water. Then he lifted Ruth's head, and
forced it between her lips. She gasped once
or twice, and then slightly opened her eyes.
"That is right, Ruth." the doctor said
cheeringly, "try and rouse .yourself, child.
You remember me, don't you?" Ruth
opened bereyes and looked up.
"That's right, child. I mustn't have you
on my hands again, you know. Ruth
looked round with a puzzled air, then a
sharp look of pain crossed her face.
"I know Ruth," Raid the doctor,, sooth-
.ingly; "it is terrible for everyone, but least
''terrible for your poor young mistress; she
passed away painlessly, and went at once
fromJife into death. Everyone loved her,
you know; it may be that God has spared
her much unhappiness."
Ruth burst into a paroxysm of crying; the
doctor nodded to the old servant.
"That's what I wanted," he whispered,
"she will be better alter this; get a cup of
hot tea for her, or beef tea will be better
still if you have any, make her drink it and
then leave her for a time. I will see her
again presently."
Immediately the doctor left him, Regi
nald Carne wrote a telegram to the Chief
Constable of the county, and dispatched a
servant with orders to gallop as fast as he
conld to the station and send it off.
Mr. Volkes, the magistrate, arrived half
an hour later, terribly shocked bv the news
he had heard. He at once set about mak
ing inquiries, and heard what the doctor
and constable had to say. No one else had
been in the room except the old cook, Mr.
Carne, and the poor girl's own maid.
"It would be useless for you to question
the girl to-day. Volkes. She is utterly
prostrate with the shock, but I have no
doubt that she will be able to give her evi
dence at the inquest So far as I can see
there does not seem to be the slightest clew.
Apparently some villian who knows some
thing about the house has climbed through
the window, stabbed her, and made off with
her jewelry."
"It is a hideous business," the magistrate
said; "there has not been such a startling
crime committed in the county in all my
experience. And to think that Margaret
Carne should be the victim, a girl everyone
liked; it is terrible, terrible. What's your
opinion, doctor? Some wandering tramp,
I suppose?"
"I suppose so. Certainly it can be none
of the neighbors. In the first place, as you
say, everyone liked her, and in the second,
a crime ot that sort is quite out of the way
of our quiet Devonshire people. It must
have been some stranger, that's evident.
Yet, on the other hand, it is singular that
the man should have got into her room. I
don't suppose there has been a window
fastened or a door locked on the ground
floor for years; the idea of a burglary never
occurs to anyone here. By the way, the
Coroner ought to be informed at once. I
will speak to Carne about it; if we do it at
once lie will have time to send over this
evening and summon a jury for to-morrow;
the sooner it is over the better. Directly
the Chief Constable arrives he will, no
doubt, send round orders everywhere for
tramps and suspicious persons to be arretted.
Plymouth is the place where thev are most
likely to get some clue; in the first place,
it's tbe largest town in this part, and in the
second, there are sure to be low shops where
a man could dispose of valuables.
In the afternoon, Captain Hendricks, the
Chief Constable, arrived, and took them all
in hand. In tbe first place he had a long
private conversation with Job Harpur, who
had been steadily keeping watch in tbe
garden beneath the window, leaving him
with strict orders to let no one approach the
spot.
Captain Hendricks, with a sergeant who
had arrived with him. made a thorough
search of the bedroom. Then he heard.
irom everyone wno Knew anything about
the matter, with the exception of Ruth
Powlett, for whom the doctor said absolute
quiet was necessary, all that they knew
about it. Then he obtained a minute
description of the missing watch and jewels
and telegraphed it to Plymouth and Exeter.
Having done this he went out Jnto the
garden again, and there a close search was
made on the grass and borders for the marks
of footsteps. When all this was done he
had a long private conversation with
Reginald Carne.
The news of Margaret Carne's murder
created an excitement in Carnesford such as
had never been equaled since the day when
Zady Carne murdered her child, and the
curse of Carne's Hold began its work.
There was not a soul in the valley but knew
her personally, for Margaret had taken
great interest in Tillage matters, had seen
that soups and jellies wera sent down from
the Hold to those who were sick, had begged
many a man off his rent when laid up or
-est ot work, and had many pensioners who
received weekly gifti of money, tea, or
other little luxuries. She gave prize in
the school; helped the parson with his choir;
and scarcely a day passed without her figure
being seen in the streets or Carnestord.
That she could be murdered seemed in
credible, and when the' news first arrived, it
was received with absolute unbelief. When
such confirmation was received that doubt
was no longer possible, all work in Carnes
ford was suspended. Women stood at thetr
doors and talked to their neighbors and wept
freely. Man gathered in knots and talked
it over and uttered threats of what they
would do if they could but lay hands upon
the murderer. Boys and girls walked up
the hill and stood at the edge of the wood,
talking in whispers and gazing on the house
as if it presented some new and mysterious
attraction. Later ,in the day two or three
constables arrived and asked many ques
tions as to whether anyone had heard any
one passing through the street be'tween 1
and 3 in the morning, but Carnesford had
slept soundly, and no one was found who
had been awake between those hours.
The little conclave in the sanctum at the
Carne's Arms met halt an hour earlier than
usual. They found on their arrival there u
stranger chatting with the landlord, who in
troduced him to them as Mr. Rentford, a
detective officer from Plymouth.
"A said affair, gentlemen, a sad affair,"
Mr. Rentford said when they had taken
their scats and lit their churchwardens. "As
sad an affair, I should say, as ever I was
engaged in."
"It is that," Jacob Carey said. "Here's
Mr. Claphurst here, who has been here, man
and boy, for nigh 80 years. He will tell
you that such as this has never happened in
this part in his time.
"I suppose, now," the detective said,
"there's none in the village has any theory
about it; I mean," he went on, as none of
his hearers answered, "no one thinks it can
be anyone but some tramp or stranger to the
district ?"
"It can't be no one else," Jacob Carey
said, "as I can see. What do you say,
Hiram Powlett? I should say no one
could make a nearer guess than you can,
seeing as they say it was your Ruth as first
found it out5' 4
"I haven't seen Ruth," Hiram said; "the
doctor told me, as he came down, as she was
quite upset with the sight, and that it would
be no good my going up to see her, as she
would have to Keep still all day. So I
can't see farther into it than another; but
surely it must be some stranger."
"There was no one about here so far as
you have heard, Mr. Powlett, who had any
sort cf grudge against this poor lady ?"
"Not a soul, so far as I know, Hiram
replied. "She could speak up sharp, as I
have beard, could Miss Carne, to a slat
ternly housewife or a drunken husband;
but I never heard as she made an enemy by
it though, if she had, he would have kept
his tongue to himself, for there were not
many here in Carnesford who would have
heard a word said against Miss Carne and
,set quiet over it"
".No, indeed, Jacob Carey affirmed,
bringing down his list with a heavy thump
on his knee. "The Squire and his sister
were both well liked, and I for one would
have helped duck anyone that spoke against
them, in tbe Dare, one was tbe most liked,
perhaps, because of her bright face and her
kind words, and being so much down here
among us; but the Squire is well liked, too;
he is not one tc laugh and talk as she was,
but he is a good landlord, and will always
give a quarter's rent to a man as gets be
hindhand for no fault of his own, and if
there is any complaint about a leaky roof
or any repairs that want doing, the tiling is
done at once and no more talk about it
2o, they have got no enemies about here as
I know of, except maybe it's the poachers
down at Dareport, for though the Squire
don't shoot himself, he preserves strictly,
and if a poacher's caught he gets sent to the
quarter sessions as sure as eggs is eggs."
-"Besides," the old clerk put in, "they say
as Miss Carne's watch and things has been
stolen; that don't look as if it was done out'
of revenge, do it?"
"Well, no," the detective said slowly,
"but that's not always to be taken as a sign,
because you see if anyone did a thing like
that, out oi revenge, they would naturally
take away anything that lay handy, so as
to make It look as it it was done lor then.
The idea was a new one to his listeners,
and they smoked over it silently for some
minutes.
"Lord, what evil ways there are in the
world," Reuben Claphurst said at last
"Wickedness without end. Now what do
you make out of this, mister? Of course
these things come natural to you."
The detective shook his head. "It's too
early to form an opinion yet, Mr. Claphurst;
much too early. I dare say we shall put
two and two together and make four
presently, but at "present you see we hav
got to learn all the facts, and you who live
close ought to know more than we do, and
to be able to put us on the track to begin
with. You point me out a clew, and I will
follow it, but the best dogs can't hunt until
they take up the scent"
'That's trne enough," the blacksmith
said approvingly.
"Have there been any strangers stopping
in the village lately?" tbe detective asked.
"There have been a few stopping off and
on here, or taking rooms in the village," the
landlord answered; "but I don't think there
has been anyone fishing on the stream for
the last few days."
"I don't mean that class; I mean
tramps."
"That I can't tell you," the landlord re
plied; "we don't take tramps in here; they
in general go to Wilding's beer shop at the
other end of the village. He can put up
four or five for the night, and in summer he
is often full, for we are just abbut a long
day's tramp out from Plymouth, and they
olten make this their first stopping place
out, or their last stopping place in, but it's
getting late for them now, though many
come along after the harvest is well over.
Still, you know, there may have been one
there yesterday, for aught I know.
"I will go round presently and ask. Any
one who was here the night before might
well have lain in the woods yesterday, and
gone up and done it.
"I don't believe as you will ever find any
thing about it There's a curse on Carne's
Hold, as everyone knows, and curses will
work themselves out If I were tbe Squire
I would pull the place down, every stick
and stone ot it, and I would build: a fresh
one a bit away. I wouldn't use so much as
a brick or a rafter of the old place, for the
curse might stick to it. I would have every
thing new from top to bottom."
"Yes, I have heard of the curse on Carne's
Hold," tbe detective said. "A man who
worked with me, and comes from this part
of the country told me all about it as we
came over to-day. However, that has noth
ing to do with this case."
"It's partly the curse as that heathen
woman as Sir Edgar brought home as his
wife laid on the place." the old clerk said,
positively; "and it will go on working as
long as Carne's Hold stands. That's what
I says, and I don't think as anyone else here
will gainsay me."
"That's right enough," the blacksmith
agreed, "I think we are all with you there,
Mr. Claphurst It ought to have been
pulled down long ago alter what has hap
pened there. Why, il Mr. Carne was to sav
to me, 'Have the house and the garden and
all rent free, Jacob Carey, as long as you
like,' I should say, 'Thank you, Squire,
but I wouldn't move into it not if you give
me enough beside to keep it up.' I call it
juit flying in the face of Providence. Only
look at Hiram Powlett there; he sends his
daughter up to be Miss Carne's maid at the
Hold, and what comes of it? Why, she
tumbles down the hill a-going up, and there
she lies three weeks, with the doctor coming
to see her every day. That was a clear
warning if ever there was one. Who ever
heard of a girl falling down and hurting
herself like that? No one. And it would
not hare happened if it hadn't been for the
curse of Carne's Hold."
"I shouldn't go so far as that," Hiram
Powlett said. "What happened to my lass
had nothing to do with the Hold; she might
have been walking up the hill at any time,
and she might have slipped down at any
time. A girl may put her foot on a loose
stone and fall without it having anything
to say to the Hold one wayor the other. Be
sides, I have never heard it said as the curse
had aught to do except with the family.
"I don't know about that," the smith re
plied. "That serrant that was killed by
THE
the Spanish woman's .ion; how about him?
It seems to me as the curse worked on him
a bit too."
"So it did, so it did," Hiram agreed. "I
can't gainsay you there, Jacob Carey; now
you put it so, I see there is something in it,
though never before have-1 heard of there
being anything in the curse except la the
family." '
"Why didn't Miles Jefferies, father of one
of the boys as it in tbe stables, get hit brains
kicked out by one of the old Squire's
horses?"
"So he did. Jacob, so be did: still, eroomt
does get their brains kicked out at other
places beside the Hold. But there is some
thing in what you say, and If I had thought
of it before, I would never hare let my
Ruth go up there to serve. I thought it
was all for the best at the time, and you
knows right enough why I sent her up
there, to be away from that George For
rester; still, I might have sent her some
where else, and I would have done it if I had
thought ot what you are saying now. Sure
enough no good has come of it I can't
hold that that fall of hers had aught to do
with the curse of the Carnes, but this last
affair, which seems to me worse for her
than the first, sure enough comes from the
curse."
"Who is this George Forrester, if you
don't mind my asking the question?" the
detective said. "You see it's my business
to find out about people."
"Ob, George hadn't nothing to do with
this business." Hiram replied. "He's the
son of a farmer near here, land has always
been wild and a trouble to the old man, but
he's gone away weeks ago. He got into a
poaching scrape, and one of the keepers
was hurt, and I suppose he thought he had
best be out of it, for a time; anyhow he has
gone, but he weren't that kind ot a chap.
No, there was no harm in George Forrester,
not in that way; he was lazy and fonder of
a glass than was good tor him, and he got
into bad company down at Dareport, and
that's what led him to ihe poaching busi
ness, I expect, because there was no call for
him to go to poaching. His father's got a
tidy farm, and he wanted for nothing. If
he had been there he couldn't have wanted
to steal Miss Carne's jewelry. He was pas
sionate enough, I know, and many a quar
rel has he had with his father, but nothing
would have made me believe, even it he had
been here, that old Jim Forrester's son had
a hand in a black business like this; to
don't you go to take such a notion at that
into your head."
"He would not bd likely to hare any
quarrel with Miss Crne?r the detective
asked.
"Quarrel no." Hiram 'replied sharply,
for he resented the idea that any possible
suspicion of Margaret Carne's murder
should be attached to a man with whom
Ruth's name had been connected. "I don't
suppose Miss Carne ever spoke a word to
him in her life. What should she speak to
him for? Why he had left the Sunday
school rears before the took to teeing after
it 'Tain't as if he had been one of the boys
of the village."
As Jacob Carey, Reuben Claphurst and
the landlord each gave an assenting
murmur to Hiram's "words, the detective
djd not think it worth while to pursue the
point further, for there really seemed
nothing to connect this George Forrester in
any way with Margaret Carne's death.
"Well," he said, taking up his hat. "I
will go round to this beershop you speak of
and make inquiries as to whether any
tra mps have been staying there. It is quite
certain this young lady didn't put an end
to herself. What we have got to find out is,
who is the man that did it?"

THIRTI-FI7E 8IGNATUEE8.
The Ironworkers' Scale Getting There and
Trouble Averted.
Four more iron firms signed the Amal
gamated Association scale yesterday, in
creasing the number of signers to 35. The
new ones are Lindsay & McCutcheon, the
Star Rolling Mill, of Allegheny; W. J.
Hammond & Sons, of Second avenue; the
United States Rolling Stock Company, of
Anniston, Ala.; the Bcottdale Iron and
Steel Company, of Scottdale.
Several other large firms are expected to
sign as soon as the repairs are completed,
and tbe two largest iron firms in this city
will put their signatures to the scale at toon
as some alterations are made. They are
Jones & Laughlins and Oliver Bros. &
Phillips.
A conference with these firms was to hare
been held yesterday, and President Weihe
started out to Jones & Laughlins'. Dur
ing his abtence a telegram was received
calling him elsewhere, but when
messages were sent to him at Jcnes &
Laughlins he was not there. Secretary
Martin would not say what other firms had
asked for a conference, but teemed to feel
rery well pleased orer the newt received
during the day.
It is safe to say that fully one-half of the
large iron concerns gorerned by the Amal
gamated scale hare signed, and the others
are expected to drop into line before many
days.
It is stated that Dil worth, Porter &Co.,
the firm that has been operating a non
union mill for about a year have paid off
their men. This may have some sig
nificance, but no person could be found who
had any information on the matter.
Singer Nimick & Co., who are operating
a non-union mill closed down lor repairs,
but will resume in a week.

Extraordinary Atmospheric Condi

an Almost
UNPEECEDENTED WAR OF ELEMENTS
nrairm roa nrx dispatch.
The Johnstown calamity has so orer
ahadowed all else in the public minds, that
but few comprehend the extraordinary at
mospheric phenomena which culminated in
the storm of May 30 and 31; the prodigious
rainfall accompanying it; and the wide area
of country devastated by its floods. Accord
ing to the observations of the best informed
meteorological observers, three areas of low
barometer or storm centers, one mov
ing from the "West, another from
the Southwest, and still another
from the Southeast met in a dire
embrace upon the summits of the Alle
gheny Mountains. Simultaneously an area
of high barometric pressure (30.20) extend
ed on the Atlantic Ocean, from the Bermu
das to Newfoundland, and thence westward
to tbe lakes and the Allegheny Mountains.
The three united storm centers, held in
check on the east by this wall of high baro
metric pressure, stood as it anchored
above the creits of the AUe
ghenies, and for 36 hours discharged
an amount of rainfall unprecedented in
the history of this region. From the re
ports, which have slowly come to hand, it
is considered by experts as being now quite
clear that the headwaters of the north and
south forks of the Conemaugh were in the
center of tbi: gigantic atmospheria dis
turbance, and that the phenomenal down
pour of rain extended along the AUeghenies
for a distance of 100 miles in either direc
tion from this point
If anyone will examine a good map he
will notice that, although the greater part
of the watershed of the 40 square miles,
contiguous to these two mountain streams,
drains toward the west into the Conemaugh
Valley, yet, within the same area, will be
found the mountain divide, from which the
waters flow north into the west branch of
the Susquehanna, east into the Juniata, and
south into the Potomac It it an interest
ing fact, to be noted in this connection, that
allof these streams received floods from'tne
storm now under consideration only lest
disastrous than the portion which devas
tated Johnstown and the Conemaugh Val
ley. ENTIBELT TTNPBECEDENXED.
Dr. C. B. Dudley, a reliable observer at
Altoona, on the eastern slope, reports the
rainfall at his station as 6.33 inches. It is a
meteorological rule that "the amountof con
densation increases with altitude up to an
eleration ot about 3,500 feet." According to
this rnle a low estimate of the rainfall along
the mountain summits would make it six
inches, and it may hare greatly exceeded.
that amount Tnat this is highly probable
is to be inferred from the reported testimony
of farmers resident along Muddy run, and
the South Fork in the vicinity oi the head ot
the reserroir.
Tbe civil engineer. Mr. John G. Parke,
states that, alarmed by the loud reports and
roaring sounds which came from the head
of the lake, he went in a boat to the mouth
ot the South Fork stream and "found the
woods boiling full of water, and the stream
Souring ont logs, trees and other drift"
nly eight miles across the country from
this point is Lilly's station, on the P. K.
R., where the first "washout" occurred
early on the morning of tbe 31st which
compelled the railroad official to hold "for
orders" all the west-bound pas
senger trains at Altoona - the
east bound "Limited" at South Fork
station and the two sections of the east
bound day express on the fatal sidings at
Conemaugh. At Lilly's, the swollen waters
of the North Fork, unable to find their
usual rent across the railroad, leaped orer
tbe dump or fill, and piled up in a lake of
six or eight acres in extent at the railroad
culvert at Benns Creek station, two miles
further west, and some nine miles east of
the junction of the two forks at South Fork
station. Simultaneously
THE EABIiT MOENINO FLOOD.
Stony creek, which, rising in the south
and floWing noathwardiy along the base of
the main range or the AUeghenies, empties
into the Conemaugh at Johnstown, had
risen beyond all bounds, and was sweeping
logbooms, houses and everything movable
before its irresistible current The combined
floods from these three mountain streams
submerged Johnstown in the morning of
that ill-fated Friday six feet deeper than
ever before known. At 4 in the afternoon
tbe crowning calamity and event of tbe cen
tuiy came in the breaking of the South Fork
Beservoir.
Meanwhile, as from a central mountain
throne, Jupiter Plnvius was sending down
the mountain slopes watery rnin and devas
tating floods toward the northeast, east and
southeast Along the west branch of the
Susquehanna and its headwaters, from near
Cresson, northeastwardly toward Lock
Haven, the rainfall was so sudden and
heavy that many lives were lost especially
in tbe higher mountain tributaries, and an
immense destruction of property was caused
in the towns of Lock Haven, v"illianisport,
Jersey Shore, Northumberland, Sunbury
'and Milton. At Little Trout run, on Big
Hine creek, six men, woo were en
gaged in peeling hemlock: bark, were
found drowned in their cabin. On another
little mountain stream, a party of Eastern
trout fishermen report that the waters
rushed down so suddenly upon them that
they with difficulty saved their lives by a
precipitate flight up the mountain sides.
IN THE JUXIATA VALLEY.
Upon the Juniata, east of Altoona, all of
the bridges, some 26 in .number, belonging
to the Pennsylvania Bailroad and the town
ships along that stream, were swept away in
rapid succession. From Tyrone to the
mouth of the Juniata, and thence along the
Susquehanna to Harrisbnrg, the destruc
tion of property waa rery great The im
mense ralue of tbe property carried out by
the Susquehanna mar be inferred'from the
fact that the shores of Kent Island, in the
Chesapeake Bar, are piled up witb a mass
of logs, cut lumber and other property, esti
mated to be worth double the assessed value
of tbe island and its improvements.
At Leuistown, with a clear sky and a
bright sunlight the water came so sudden
ly, and almost without warning, that in the
lower part of the town many ot the inhab
itants were surrounded in their houses by
the rapidly rising waters, and only by the
promptest assistance, and with great diffi
culty, were rescued from their perilous posi
tion. A number of houses were swept
away, hut all of the inmates are thought to
hare been rescued farther down tbe stream.
As showing the extraordinary character
of the rainfall elewhere in tbe Allegheny
Mountains on that fateful day, a letter pub
lished in the New York Observer is of in
terest: ,No such continuous amount of rain
fall has occurred orer the valley of the
Potomac within the memory of man. It is
generally conceded that the river rose six
feet above any former flood, and the canal
with marginal property left a general wreck.
Pennsylvania avenue, Washington City, D.
C.was submerged, also the navy yard.
Water street, in West Washington, was in
undated and left a wreck, etc
FIOUBES FOB IT.
The unprecedented fall of rain during
April and May, 1889, amounted in April to
eight Inches, and in May to 16 inches, ag
gregating 24 inches, or 18 cubic feet for
each square yard of territory drained by
the Potomac above tide. Therefore the fol
lowing data or statistics is pertinent to gire
an approximate idea of the casual phe
nomena. Tbe Potomac rlrer drains 14,478
square miles, approximating 13,000. square
miles for the area drained above tide. It
will therefore be teen what a fearful de
struction of marginal property may occur
- SATURDAY, JULY
at any time when heavy floods fall orer
this immense valley above tide.
On the weatern or Virginia tide of the
Potomac, the following tributaries unite
with the latter: Goose creek, Shenandoah
river, Opeqaan, Capon and South Branch,
etc On the Maryland side, George's creek,
Will's creek, Conagocheague, Antietam,
Monocacy and Seneca, with a large amber
of smaller streams, etc The fall of tbe
Potomac from Cumberland, to tide water, in
round numbers, is about 600 feet Esti
mated area of square miles drained by the
Potomac above tide water, approximately
13,000. At 640 acres to tne square mile, the
whole area drained approximates 8,320,000
square acres. At 4,840 square yards to the
square acre, the whole area drained is ap
proximately 40,268,800,000 square yards.
WITHOUT A PABALLEL.
Estimating the rainfall from 11a.m.,
May 30, to 2 o'clock a. M.. May 31, 1889, or
a period of 14 hours; averaging six inches at
least for the whole area of territory drained,
would give four and one-half cubic feet
raic-tall for each square yard. Therefore
the aggregate of territory drained would be
181,119.600,000 cubic feet At 62 pounds
of water for each cubic foot, aggregates 11,
325,600,000,000 pounds. At 2.000 pounds to
the ton, the aggregate would be 5,662,800,000
tons for the whole territory drained above
tide by the Potomac
Again, aggregate the whole approximate
rain-fall in April and Mav at 24 inches, or
18 cubic feet to the 40,268,800,000 square
yards drained. Total, 724,838,400,000 cubic
teet At 62f pounds to the cubic loot the
total is 45,302,200,000,000 pounds. At 2,000
pounds to the ton, the aggregate is 22,651,
100,000 tons. The Sage of Rockland, the
late Benjamin Hallowell, I believe, esti
mated the annual average rain-fall at 45
inches, and, according to his calculation,
half the annual average rain-fall fell dur
ing April and May, 1889. No such a com
bination or antecedent of rain-falls has oc
curred within the memory of man.
EAST END SCHEMES
Opposed by Well-Known Property Owners
. on Street Interested.
John H. Hampton, Esq., appeared before
the Councilmanic Committee on Surveys
yesterday to protest against the widening
of St Clair street, from Penn avenue to
Bural street, East End. He referred to a
remonstrance signed by 25 of the 26 property
holders on the street He said the street
was now 40 feet wide, which was plenty for
all the traffio upon it and all the residents
wished. To widen it would destroy nearly
every house upon it and damage many of
the lots to a considerable extent, thus
making the widening rery expensire as
well as unnecessary. Mr. Hampton's own
house would hare to be torn down along
with the others. He failed to see who had
started the morement for widening the
street, as none -of the parties interested
wanted it
Mr. Bigelow was questioned concerning
the street by the committee, and said that
the width of the present street from Penn
arenue a mile and a half east was 50 feet,
excepting tbe two squares included in the
ordinance. The object was to secure a uni
form width along its entire length, and a
number of the residents on the street farther
up had asked for it.
Messrs. Evans. Warmcastle and Baum
were appointed to investigate the matter.
When the ordinance for the location of
Grazier street from Fifth arenue to Franks
town arenue was taken up, Mr. Finley
Torrence addressed the committee, saying
that while the proposed location would
make a straight street, it would run right
through his property and ruin three new
brick houses of his, and through the houses
of several other owners. He thought the
improrement unnecessary, expensire and
not a local improrement This ordinance
was also referred to the special sub-committee,
as was one relocating Black street from
Hiland to Cleorview avenue. Mr. Petty,
representing Mrs. Catherine Negley, op
posed the last-named ordinance, and pre
sented a petition;aigned by a large number
of the residents, asking that the street be
left at its present width of 50 feet instead of
changing it to bo, at the ordinance contem
plates. ,

IRONWORKER'S STORY.
A Modern Tubal Cain Relates His Own
Experience!
DESCRIBJNG A LONG . SIEGE.
"It, was between three and four years
ago," said Mr. Keougb", "that exposure
brought on a cold. After a while it teemed
to leave me. But whether it was not en
tirely well, or other exposure brought on
fresh colds, I don't know. At any rate my
head became stopped up, my throat raw and
uncomfortable and I had a continual hack
ing cough."
The speaker was Mr. John C. Keougb,
who resides at Eeynoldton, across the
Youghiogheny river from JIcKeesport, and
is engaged in the National Boiling Mill at
MeKeesport,
'The trouble at first seemed to be small,
but it steadily grew worse. I began to feel
that there was something the matter with
my nasal organs and bronchial tubes. My
nostrils would clog up, first on one .side and
then on the other. There waa a dry fever
ish feeling inside. My throat would choke
up. and there seemed" to be a weight or op
pression on my chest that afc times almost
suffocated me. I was constant! hawking
and raising and could feel the mucus drop
ping back into my throat. I found it hard
to breathe, could not seem to get air enough
through the passages. I was constantly
raising white particles about the size of
half a pea. At times something would
stick in my throat that I could not get up
or down.
"My sleep did -not refresh me. I would
get up in the morning tired and unrested,
in fact more tired than when I went to bed.
I had a bad taste in my mouth, and could
eat hardly any breakfast. What I did eat
I hid to force down. I would have a con
stant desire to vomit after eating Fre
quently in the afternoons chilly feelings
would set in. These would last a few min
utes, and were followed by a feverish, burn
ing sensation. I had dull pains in jay fore
head over the eyes, and sharp pains in my
chest, extending through to the region of
the shoulder blades. My heart would beat
bard and fast This would be followed by
a slow, irregular beating, and a sensation of
faintness.
Mr. John C. Kcough.
"Frequently I would have to quit work
with the headaches, the pains in my chest
and the trouble with my stomach. I could
see that I was steadily growing weaker and
losing flesh and strength, and feared tbe
trouble had extended to my lungs. I tried
almost everything without getting any help.
Some time ago I read in the papers of axase
in many respects like my own, which had
been treated and enred by Brs. Copeland &
Blair. I went to see them myself and found their
charges were very low. I Improved gradually
under their treatment. The headaches passed
awav. and I trained in strength and welzht.
My throat became clear, and I conld breath
easily. I have a good appetite now, can sleep
well, and get up in the morning refreshed,
strong and able to work. Tbe cough gradually
grew less. Tbe smothering and dizzy spells
stopped, and I feel quite strong and well now,
and am glad to make this statement
A CANDID ANSWER.
It it Msde In Reply to Questions Which Have,
Frequently 3. en Asked.
Do Drs. Copeland and Blair cure all cases
of catarrh?
Unquestionably, no.
This question has frequently been asked
and may as well be squarely answered.
In some cases catarrh has been allowed to
proceed unchecked to far reaching and
fatally impairing the lungs and causing con
sumption or rtacbing the stomach and caus
ing dyspepsia and inflammation of the
stomach, that medical skill it powerless.
In such cases they do not profess to in
variably effect a cure.
In some cases, where catarrh' has not
taken such a hold upon the constitution as
to prevent the possibility of a radical cure,
the patient having begun treatment may be
come careless and negligent, inlreqnent in
his visits and forgetful as to uses of hit
medicine, and will thus undoubtedly fail to
obtain a cure.
When the patient fulls to come to the
office regularly for treatment for the time
during which he is instructed to come, or
does not follow up his'treatment regularly
and systematically, they do not profess to
be able to effect a cure.
They work no miracles and perform no
sorceries. They cure catarrh, but it is by
patient, regular, systematic and methodi
cal, as well as skillful treatment. Those
who hope to be relieved of this lingering
and insidious disease in an hour, a day, or
a week, need not come to them for treat
ment. The fact, however, that they do cure ca
tarrh and often in its serious "and advanced
stages, when the patients follow their treat
ment regularly and faithfully, does not lack,
a demonstration at this time. The crowds
that daily fill their parlors will testify to
this. And more than that, out of the many
who have been cured and have willingly of
fered their statements for publication, one
has been given each week, together with
the outline of the face and the name and
residence. Of course, none of these have
been or would be published without the full
consent and approval of the patient. These
have not been obscure or unknown people
from another city or State. They are all
residents of Pittsburg, Allegheny or vicin
ity, some of them very well known, and
their statements could easily be verified.
Such, for instance, as the statement of Mr.
William J. Adams, of Mansfield, who had
had catbarral and bronchial trouble foryears
and gained 15 pounds in six weeks under
treatment; of ,Mr. Robert W. Huffman, 108
Jackson street, Allegheny, who passed
through a similar experience; of Mr. J. G.
Frazier, 6710 Kirkwood street, Pittsburg,
who gained 17 pounds in weight in less
than two months, and is restored in health
and strength; oi Mr. Charles A. Miller, of
Ohio township, whose experience was like
tbat of Mr. Frazier, and of many others
who might be mentioned.
