an church. The pastor P.cr. S. M.
Ilcnderson, was near the cIopc of
his Bcnnon, and although greatly
shocked, he w as enabled, after a brief
pause, to resume and finish his dis
course. His coolness under the cir
cumstances no doubt prevented
panic among his hearers, as all seem
ed impressed with the belief that the
building Lad been struck. Indeed,
Mr. Henderson states that be would
not hare been surprised to see the
light of the burning building, so fully
was he convinced that the lightning
Lad shattered the roof. The ser
vices were finished, and the audi
ence remained for some time, as the
rain was falling too heavily for them
to get comfortably to their homes.
As there was no leakage in the roof,
as far as could be ascertained, it was
finally concluded that the thunder
bolt must have passed over. In the
morning, however, an examination
developed the fact that 'he lightning
struck the roof, tearing up a portion
of the tinning, but doing no serious

all escaped unharmed.
Inthe Fourteenth ward the de
struction was much less than was ex
pected, especially at Soho. Beyond
the carrying down of an old frame
shanty and the slaughter house of
Mr. Kunzman, no buildings were se
riously injured. The stone sewer in
progress of construction was broken
down at Brady street, and a portion
of the street wa3 washed out. Parts
of the filling in at Sobo, on Fifth ave
nue, was washed down, and masses
of earth moved slightly, but the
residents below made good their
escape.
Upon the hill, beyond Soho, great
slides occurred, especially from (Jaz
zam's hill, above the first bend. With
the exception of a pnrtial blockade of
the avenue, and the loss occasioned
therebv no injury was done. ear
the school hou.e"tLc earth also gave
wav, but a retaining wall is now be
ing" built. A portion of Soho street
let down and the culvert there broke.
On Neville or Boundary street an
old ice house, belonging to Ir. Win.
Weir, was swept away, while a lot
of lumber for the bridge at Forbes
street was lost.
In the lower portions of the city
the damage was inconsiderable, and
upon the hill top. in and about Mi
nersvillc, beyond the carrying away
of board walks and such like, the loss
was not great.
The lint of dead and missing peo
ple in this locality is sadly large. At
last accounts tea dead bodies had
been recovered. Thfy were those of
Mrs. Dorothy Semple, wife of Ste
phen Semple; Joseph O'Connor;
Betsy Lee, Lis housekeeper; Mrs.
TLropp, wife of Isaiah Thropp ; Thos.
Britton and son ; a child named Ida
Hunter and two whose names we
Lave not learned.
The body of Mrs. Semple was
found on the pavement ut the Lead
of Walnut street, nearlva mile from
her Lome. She, Ler huaband and
child were iu the house together
when the danger came, and t-.he gave
him the child telling him to save it.
A moment afterwards Lusband and
wife were separated, never to meet
on earth again.
An old lady named Mrs. Ferguson,
ho resides in a small cottage near
the Bcltzhoover Louse, about a mile
from Mount Washington, was drown
ed before assistance could reach her.
It is said the old lady has been an in
valid for two years.
The dead body of an unknown
woman wag found some distance up
the run.
Yesterday morniDg the list of casu
alties was increased by the death of
a widow, named Jones, who died
from the effects ot the fright pro
duced the preceding evening.
several 01 tbe bodies were lying
at the Thirty-fifth ward F.chool house,
and on these Aldermen Vaughn and
Martin held an inquest yesterday. A
verdict in accordance with the facts
was rendered.
The missing, so far as ascertained,
comprise Wm. Horseley, wife and
two childien ; Thos. Hunter, wife
and three children ; Mrs. Thomas
Britton; Isaiah Thropp and five
children; Frederick McVey, wife
and three children; Frank" O'Neill
and laughter; Geo. Jones, son and
daughter.
It is stated that Wm. Stephens,
whose dwelling is among the de
stroyed, Lad $1,150 in his hou.?e, and
tbat in his Laste to escape Le left it
behind, and it was involved in the
geueral destruction.
The trestle-work of the Little Saw
Mill Run Coal Railroad, where it
extended along the side of the run,
and crossed it, wa9 swept away for
iuite a distance, and the tunnel
through the Lill about half filled with
mud.
At a distance of two miks from the
Ohio river the water was 6ome fif
teen or eighteen feet in depth, and
w here the two runs meet there was
about one arre of debris, consisting :
of 6hanties, lumber, carts, wagons j
and everything mentiouable.
a wo men were seen riding m a
buggy along the hill road when the
storm was at its height; the buggy
was seen to overturn and nothing
more was seen of the men They are
supposed to have been drowned.
A quantity of housoLold p.x.us
was wanned out of tie mouth
run with such force as to be
across the river. Kntan;lcd
the articles were two horses,
escaped alive.
To our sister city, Allcghenv, so
recently suffering by fire and" now
more terribly Ly flood, our entire svm
pathies go out With Ler own losses
and the aid doe her own citizens,
Pittsburgh will mill show her willing
ness to extend all needful succor to
those so sorely afflicted upon the
north side. As will be seen by our
very lull reports below. Allegheny
City suffered tenfold more than our
own city, both in the loss of life and
of property. In both these particu
lars the greater portion was in the
northeastern portion of the citv the
Third and Eleventh wards Iwhcre
more than one Lundred Kva
lost and thousands of dollars' worth
of property destroyed. In the dis
trict named the flood Lad full sweep
through Butchers' and Spring Gar
den runs, and the tale of havoc o
casioned is one of the saddest in the
city's history. Ia the western dis
trict, about Woods' run, still further
loss of life and property was sustain
ed. Such a fearful calamity from the
elements was never known, and all
that our people can do to alleviate the
suffering and care for the orphan and
widow should be done. The harrow
mg details of the disaster are riven
below: b
To attempt to describe consecu.

along Butcher's Run would be a task
.. uiMauce oi more
than two miles the marks of devasta
tion are the same. In fact, durin?

oi iije
carried
among
which
ony of destruction to be seen in bouses
torn away from their foundations,
some of them carried off and -ver-turned,
and others dashed into pieces,
and mingled in an unrecognizable
mass of debris; in scwer3 burst and
caved in; in heavy stones from the
masonry of the scwcr3 and of the
houses frouv the pavements of the
streets; carried away as if they were
chips. East street a short distance
below where it opens into Madison
avenue is filled by a mass of debris,
consisting of an indistinguishable
mixture of roofs, window casing,
weather boarding, furniture and
household goods. How many build
ings were destroyed, and utterly torn
to pieces, it is not possible as yet to
tell; but some idea of the ravages
may be rained by the fact tbat thia
street, forty feet wide, is utterly
choked up for a length of more than
a hundred and fifty feet, with a pile
of what were once bouses, sheds,
barns and outhouses, and of which
there is not a distinguishable feature
save this mas3 of broken and confus
ed material. This pile is at some
points ten and fifteen feet in height,
and the force with which it was
thrown together is shown by great
timbers twisted up and snapped off
as if they were straws.
The houses along this portion of
East street were considerably dam
aged and all were submerged, but
none were swept from their founda
tions. Further on is the buildings
where the Woodville Oil orks were
located, the building are swept away,
and Hoevler k Cole's glue factory
lie3 a complete wreck, some of it
swept away, and the rest of it lying
in ruins on the spot. Going on up
East, street to Madison avenue and
keeping on up Madison avenue, every
foot of ground repeats the same mo
notonous tale of devastation.
Butcher's Run, a3 many of our
readers know, runs in a northerly di
rection frorn O'Hara street. The
character of the ground is that of a
narrow valley, or rather gully, from
fifty to a hundred and fifty feet in
width, shut in on each side by high,
precipitous hills more than two hun
dred feet high. Along the bottom of
the same is the creek, its course follow
ed by Madison avenue,which frequent
lv crosses the run in its course up the
I ravine for some miles. For a consid
erable portion of the wav tbe run
was conducted through sewers, and
the entire ravine, for two miles from
its opening, was closely built up with
hounes fronting immediately on the
street, and built up close against the
hills on either side.
Not a single bridge is left of the
numerous structures by which Madi
son avenue crossed the run. All are
swept away so completely that hardly
a vcsligc of them remains, and had
it not been for the assurance of those
acquainted with tbe locality, that at
ail these places bridges were built,
we should hardly have thought it
possible that there were any bridges
there.
The work of devastation commenc
ed some two miles up the run. To
attempt to give an account of the
property destroyed would be an al
most hopeless task. Every house
bears the marks of the flood, and
whole blocks were swept away, hard
ly leaving a foundation stone to mark
the spot where they otood.
The suddenness of the flood is des-
scribed most graphically by those who
were in its course. A few minutes
after the storm commenced, word was
passed from house to house that the
water in the run was rising, and that
the ravine might be flooded. The
next minute a raging flood swept
down the ravine, carrying everything
before it, flooding the lower portions
of the houses, destroying buildings,
lifting others from their foundations,
and sweeping them down the run to
hopeless destruction. The proximity
of many of the buildings to the hills
sidc3 proved the salvation of hun
dreds of people, as many who would
otherwise have been drowned escap
ed by their back doors and windows,
climbed tbe hillsides out of reach of
the storm and waited there in the
terrible storm until it was over and
the flood went down. The first loss
of life occurred at the Louse where
Henry C. Mattern and his entire fam
ily were destroyed. Mr. Mattern'e
family consisted of himself, his wife
and two children. Mr. Mattern was
a young man of twenty-four years of
age, his wife was about the same age,
his boy Charley was three years old
and his babe Clara was six months
old. A few minutes after the flood
commenced a cow stable located im
mediately above the house was
thrown against it with such force as
to tear the bouse from its foundation.
As the house was being swept down
the street, the father of the family
was seen with a child in his arms at
a window, calling for help and cry
ing, "If you can't save me, save m"v
children." About a hundred feet
down the street, the floating house
struck against the corner of a brick
building, which stood fast against the
flood. The floating frame structure
already weakened, was dashed into
pieces, and the entire family was
swept awav down the run." The
body of Mr. Mattern was recovered
a quarter of a mile below, while
those of the mother and one of the
children M ere swept down to the oil
works nearly a mile below.
Mr. J. Carver, one of those who
saw Mattern's house go to pieces,
was at that time at the wiudow ot
his own Louse. He says that he had
been watching some barrels of hams
and pork which he owned, and which
he Lad stored farther up the run, float
past. He saw Mattern's house go
past, heard his piteous but unavailing
cry for help, and saw Lis house dash
ed to atoms. The next moment it
occurred to Lini to seek safetv. and
taking his wife be escaped with Ler
to the Lill side. When the storm sub
sided, and while a stream was still
sweeping breast deep down the road,
he waded up to where relatives of
Mattern resided, and told them of the
calamity. Mr. Thilip Weber, brother-in-law
of Mattern, informs us that,
with Lis wife, they were driven to
the upper floor of "their house, not
having time to escape before the
lower rooms were nooced. ile savs
that he expected that the house would
be swept away, and told Lis wife to
watch, and when the house struck a
building some distance below, to
jump on to the roof of that building
and thence cscapo to the hillside.
The house did not sweep away, and
after about half an hour the flood
went down. Shortly after that Mr.
Carver came up through the still
flooded street, and informed Mr. We
ber and his father-in-law, Mr. Mat
tern, ot the destruction that bad be
fallen their son and brother.
These incidents may, perhaps, give
the reader a fant idea of the terrors
of the night To describe all the in
cidents, of escapes and of destruction
which occurred along that fearful two
miles, wnulr? fill T-ninmo t -i

uibiance below Mr. Mattern's, Mr
John Winkler, Lis wife and child
were drowned.
Mr Winkler and Lis brother were
carried away by the flood while out
in the yard endeavoring to save the
houses ia which some of tbe stock
was housed. Mrs. Winkler remain
ed in the house, and in less than five
minutes afterwards the water had
filled all the lower rooms. Mrs. Wink
ler called for assistance, but before it
could reach her the building ,rave
wav. and she wa3 engulfed
Still further southward was the
dwelling occupied by John Shearing.
As soon as the waters commenced
rising Mr. Shearing moved bis fam
! ilr, consisting of his wife and twin
boys, aged about four years, to tise
hillside, in what was supposed to be
ft place of safety. The children were
sleeping soundly, but one of the lit
tle fellows was aroused by the storm
and rolled over an embankment into
the angrv flood below. His body
was recovered yesterday mornin
Near the Union of Madison avenue
and East street, lived a family by tbe
name of Conlon, and from this house
out of sir persons, one escaped alive.
The names of those who were in the
house were Mrs. Mary Conlon, tbe
mother of the family, abeut fifty-five
years of age; ber son Neil, a young
man about twenty years of age, who
escaped alive. Archibald Arpold, a
young man who lived in the neighbor
hood, who came in with Neil Conlon
a few minutes before, and bad taken
hp!pr nnJl the storm was over; John
Tfnrln-ors twentv-two vears old;
Marv Conlv. nine rears old, and
Theresa Conly, eleven years old.
The storv of eil Conlon, (told to
us while he was still suffering from
the injuries and excitement of the
disaster,) is truly thrilling, and we
give it as nearly as possible in his
own words:
"Archibald Arnold and myself had
just come in, and were putting the
horse ia the stable when the rain
commenced. I told him toj come in
to the house, and not to go borne till
the rain was over. He said: "Ob, it
is not going to rain much." But he
came in, and when we got in the
water was coming in at the front
door, and wo tried to keep the water
out by holding tbe door3 shut, but we
couldn't So when we found that
the water burst the doors open, w
went up stairs, where my mother an
sistier were; and while we were u
there, from? from one room to an
' C3 'J
other, trying to think bow to save
our lives, the house was carried
away and fell to pieces, I seized bold
of my mother, and I saw Arnold
take one of my sisters. e were
swept down the street about three
squares, and while I was holding on
to my mother, a great log came down
and struck us, and separated us.
heard my mother scream and heard
Arnold calling to me. Then I did
not know anything, and can't remem
ber what happened to me until
found myself on top of the por
house (Ilarbaugh t Co.'s, nearly
ciuarter of a mile below), and from
there I got over on the bill. We
Lave found my mother s bodv and
mv sister Mary and Archibald Ar
nold's. My sister Theresa's body
and John Rodger's have not been
found yet
"When I came to myself on top of
the pork house I had not a stitch of
clothing left on me except my shirt
band around my neck. All the rest
of mv clothes were gone. I think
two of my ribs are broken, and 1 am
very much bruised. None of our
people were drowned. They were
killed by the log3 and stones which
were washed down tbe run.
A 6hort distance below was
house m wtnen there were six per
sons, all of them young. The house
was lifted up by the water and turn
ed over on us side. All oi tne in
mates, witn tne one exception, es
caped through the roof to the hill
side. Sarah Watson, a young girl
who wa3 in an upper room, which
was suddenly flooded, clung to a nail
in the wall nntil that broke, when
she wa3 washed to the window.
Here she caught hold of the window
sill and clung 'there, although the
house was overturned, until the flood
went down, and she was rescued. A
short distance below the glue works,
which were entirely destroyed, was a
small dwelling, occupied bv August
Rykoff and family, embracing Lis
wife and two children. Tbe family
were totally unware of the destruc
tion which was sweeping down upon
them. Tne building was carried
from its foundations, and the occu
pants with it. Mrs. Rykoff, bruised
and bleeding, was rescued from the
torrent several squares distant, but
both of the children, one a little gir
aged three years, named Emma, and
Mary, aged one vear, were drowned
The body of little Emma was found
yesterday among some debris which
had formed a gorge along the plank
road, about three hundred yards be
low the site occupied by the dwelling
of the family.
It is noticable that the violence of
the flood, was such, that in nearly
every instance in which bodies have
been recovered along Madison ave
nue, everv particle ot ciotnmg was
stripped from their bodies. When t
similar freak of the flood was narra
ted in Mr. Churlcs Reade's novel.
"Put Yonrself in His place," the
idea was generally rejected as im
probable and absurd. But the eents
of Sunday night have shown that
water can obtain such fearful force
as to strip the bodies of its victims
perfectly naked. Another peculiar!
ty of a most horrible character, is that
all the bodies as soon as taken from
the water commenced to swell. This
is probably the result of the bruises
tbat were received, from tbe mass of
timbers and stones, that were borne
down the ravine like chips, and which
porbably, as suggested above, caused
the loss of lives tbat might otherwise
Lave been saved.
The scenes at the different points
where search was beiDg made for
victims of the disaster were such as
to compel tears from the mo6t stoical
Here a mother and daughter, clam
bering over the imnrense piles of
not
debris, sought with tear stained faces
for husband, father, son and brother;
there, a strong man, with agony de
picted in every lineament, turned
over the wreck in the sad hope of
finding the remains of wife or chil
dren. The thousands who crowded
to the scene seemed to feel deeply
the weight of the calamity which had
befallen the entire community, and
not a few volunteered aid in the
search for the dead.
At the undertakers' shops, the
doors were besieged by hundreds of
people " bowed down " by weight of
woe, " looked with tearful eyes at
tbe rows of corpses, anxiou3 to find
tbe remains of those near and dear
to them, and so suddenly snatched
away from life. At the establish
ment of Mr. II. Herman, on East
Ohio street, the bodies of the Mattern
family, four in number, Miss Conlon,
Augustus Bolster, son of Alderman
Bolster; Mr. Rykoff and Emma, Lis
little daughter; Mr. Hambright, a
printer living on Ohio street ; a small
boy named Sherran ; the infant child !
of Michael fctottlcr; Mr. Schtapper
and Lis three daughters, and Mrs.
Jacob Winkler, were prepared for
sepulture.
At the place of Messrs Fairman 4
Vogt, on Sandusky street, thirty
Ladie3 were received and cared for,
including Miss Mary Connelly, Miss
McKee. Mr. and Mrs. lucus, Job
Viichs. Mr. Hubbert and wife, Mr.
and Mrs. Slepper, and three children
Jacob Winckle, Archibald Arnold
Conrad Geinzler and wife, Jacob
Gloker and two children, Henry
Ponckauf and one child, Henry Leo
pold, wife and four children, Jacob
Snappe, and two bodies, infants
identified.
It is stated that an elegantly at
tired lady, accompanied by a little
girl, took refuge from tbe rain in an
nrchwar between two nouses, on
O'Hara street Tbe crash came,
tumbling the houses into ruins, and
the water bore the bodies of the two
awav. to be recovered and classed
among the unclaimed and unknown
4J
dead.
It would require a large volume to
contain the many incidents related of
the flood, and it is not witnm tne
range oi possioiatics 10 gainer
in a single article in a daily journal
It is not probable tbat the full histo
ry of the great disaster will ever be
written.
At Wood's Run Ninth" ward, Al
Iegheny, the work of destruction was
also ejected to the most sorrowful ex
tent Here, as elsewhere, bouses
were wrecked and lives were sacri
Seed. The principal part of the harm
done was between tbe railroad cros
sing and the point crossed by the
Beaver road.
About half a mile above the rail
road arc the bouses of two mill hands
named Patrick Farley, and Fnsby
Denning. Farley seeing the danger
of tbe families, succeeded m fasten
ng one end of a rone to bis
... .. . . .
house, and tne otner end to a tree on
the hill side, and by means of this he
rescued ail the membeisof both fami-
ies.
A short distance below Farley's
house the stream takes a sudden
bend and near this left its original
bed and was aeuected against some
small frame houses standing in the
contracted valley. First was the
home of John Gorman. It was lifted
bodily, and crashed aginst the next
house below it, that of James Forden,
a laborer in Lcwit, Oliver fc Phillips
mills. These two buildings were
dashed from their foundations and
were careening down the tide for
nearly one thousand feet, bringing up
with a fearful shock against V llson
(fcTrimblcs store, which was forced
nine feet from its site, but which
still held together and arrested the
progress of the two houses.
Forden and his wife and three
children, and Gorman and his two
children were in the houses and all
perished.
Mrs. Gorman saved herself by
poizing hold of an exposed gas pipe
on the bill side, and by the aid of it
clambering to n place of safety.
Tbe bodies of James Forden and
his wife were found first in G. B.
Ecdert's yard, some distance a. ray.
One of Forden's children was found
south of the railroad track, and yes
terday morning the bodies of two of
Forden's little ones were discovered,
the infant boy, about ten months of
age, at the bridge, and the
other little boy aged about
ten year3, far out on Wilkins
avenue. Those still missing are
John Gorman and a little child, and
Forden's two children, a boy and a

James i lanigan, brother of Mrs.
Forden, when he saw the flood com
ing rushed into save hi3 sister, but
a blow upon the head sent him head
long into the torrent, and he floated
some 500feet, finslly climbing out by

Luke Dillon and family, consisting
of three girls and two boys, barely
escaped with their lives.

If 1 bad leisure 1 would repair
that weak place in my fence," said a
farmer. He had none, however, and
while drinking cider with a neighbor
the cows broke in and injured a
prime piece of corn. He had leisure
then to repair his fence, but it did
not bring back his corn.
"If I had leisure." said a wheel
wright last winter, "I would alter
my stovepipe, for I know it is not
safe." But he did not Cnd time and
when his shop got fire and burnt
down he found leisure to build
another
"If I bad leisure," said a mechanic,
"I should have my work done in
season." The man thinks his time has
been all occupied, but be was not at
work till after sunrise; he quit work
at five o'clock, smoked a cigar after
dinner, and spent two hours on the
street, talking nonsense with an idler.
"If I had leisure," said a merchant,
"I would pay more attention to my
accounts and try and collect my bills
more promptly." The chance is, my
friend, if you had leisure you would
probably pay lees attention to the
matter than you do now. The thing
lacking with hundreds of farmers
who till the soil is not more leisure,
but more resolution the spirit to do,
to do now. If tbe farmer who sees
his fence in a poor condition would
only act ot once, how much might be
saved? It would prevent breachy
cattle creating quarrels among neigh
bors tbat in nunv capes terminate in
law-suits, which take nearly all thev!
are both worth to pay the lawyers. .
The fact h formers and mechanics
hayc more leisure than they are i
aware of for t-tudy and improvement!
of their minds. They have tbe long I
evenings of winter n which they can
post themselves upon all the improve-'
ments of the day, if they will take j
ably conducted agricultural journals i
and read them with care. The farm
er who fails to study his business and
then gets shaved, has nobodv but
himself to blame. Cor. X. E. Farmer.

A curious exhibition, says Ihe 1'a.ll
Mall Gazette, has lately been opened
to the public in the lunatic asylum at
Brunnfeld, near icnna. 1 he objects
exhibited are divided into three
classes, the first comprising 215 ar
ticlea made entirely by tbe lunatics :
the second articles destroyed by them
n their moments of frenzv, and the
third, models, Jfcc, showing how
tney are lodged and clothed. Among
the articles in the first class are deli
cately carved meerschaum pipes, laoe,
picture frames and a remarkable cJ-
lection of paintings by Kratkv. who.
before he became insane, was a cele
brated artist at Vienna. Theso paint
ings show no sign of insanity, and
one of them is a wonder fully life.
like representation of the lunatics
hearing mass in the chapel attached
to the asylum. Jext to these speci
mens of the constructive skill of the
inmates are .placed hugh iron bars
bent double, spoons and iron plates
broken to pieces, and doors split in
alf. The favorite occupants of
these unfortunate peoplo ore Btated
to be writiDg and drawing, in which
some of them have become singularly
proficient.
