Oyer $170,000 Spent in the Conemaugh Val

JonxsTOWN, Pa., July 20. Mr. S. S. Mar
' vinand Secretary J. B. Kremer, of tbo
Flood Relief Commission, were in town to
day. They visited the commissary and
other relief headquarters, and expressed
themselves as pleased with what they saw.
Mr. Kremer says that over $170,CX) has al
ready been expended in Johnstown, not in-
eluding the 500,000 now being paid
out. He did not give figures to
show clearly where this money had gone,
but said it exceeded $170,000. One hundred
homes had been bought or contracted for.
costing $ie0 each; 100 costing S207 each, and
200 two-story homes to be built by con
tractor Hughes at $200 each. In addition,
. fifty-two business stands had been built at
a cost of $425 each. This would make a
total of $109,960. In addition some money
was spent for coffins, lumber and the like.
Over three-fourths of tho mouey coming
into th hands of Governor Beaver direct
was for tho surlerers in the Conemaugh val
ley, the balance being for the Hood suf
ferers of Pennsylvania.
Mr. Kremer said that it was likely the
Williamsport region would get another ap
propriation, as it seemed they had not re
ceived their share. When asked why a
clear statement of the moneys received and
expended was not made, he said there was
a difficulty in determining as to what fund
certain items should bo charged, such, for
-instance, as the burial of the dead. It was
a Question, he said, whether the Stato had
a right to pay for that, aud until these
questions were determluea it was not con
6idered proper to make a statement.

AN UNCOMFORTABLE VISITOR.
Capture of the Monster Snake that Has Been
Terrifying Warrick County.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
Vixcennes, Ind., July 21. Tho citizens
of Madison township, Warrick county, this
State, have recently been wrought to a
high pitch of excitement over tho appear
ance of a monster snake in their midst. It
virtually terrified everybody, and tho
great creeping monster almost frightened
men, women and children away from their
homes. It made its appearance thcro about
three weeks ago, it is supposed, and was
very bold m all its movements. It com
mitted many depredations during its stay
in that locality, such as devouring 6heep
and young pigs, and whatever it could
steal upon. Young children were fright
ened bo badly that they would not venture
out of their homes after the shades of dark
ness had fallen. His snakeship seemed to bo
possessor of the tield. While going about
tho neighborhood in search of something
to eat. tho crawling reptile, in all its fright
ful length, was seen by several parties, and
different farmers plucked, up courage
enough to fire charges of buckshot at it,
but with indifferent success. The distanco
from which tho shots were fired was, too
great, and tho only perceptible effect was
to hasten the speed of the huge creature.
It would simply rear its head a little
higher, throw out its forked tonguo more
venomously, and dart away with the speed
of a swift horse. It was not very com
bative, and if it had been no man was equal
to a contest with the inouster. All ctlorts
. to kill it or drive it away from the neigh
borhood, proven lueuectual. until Monday,
when Jacob Jones espied it leisurely crawl
ing under his barn, lie at once seized a
heavy crowbar and gave it battle. At tho
opportune moment, when the snake could
not present its head to him in its
own defense, he struck it across the back
with the iron crow-bar and paralyzed it. It
was but the work of a few moments to fin
ish it. It measured twcQty-two feet and
ten and a half inches lone and was eighteen
inches in circumferenco four feet from tho
head. Scores of people saw tho fearful
looking thing after it was killed, as it was
ou exhibition for several days. It was
then shipped to Indianapolis, where it will
be properly stuffed and placed on exhibi
tion. It is supposed that the huge reptile
escaped from Hutchinson it Coa Wild
West show, which had recently exhibit ed
in Huntingbnrg. From descriptions given,
it is thought to bo of the anaconda family.
DISASTROUS FLOODS.
Great Destruction Wrought by the llreaklng
of a Dam on the Hockirgr Canal.
Lancaster, O., Jnly 21. One of the most
disastrous storms ever known in the Hock
ing valley, culminated, yesterday, in tho
breaking of Sharp's dam, at Sugar Grovo,
on tho Hocking caudal. Tho dam held in
store a largo body of water that supplied
the lower levels of the canal. The heavy
rains had filled the reservoir to the banks,
when suddenly the dain gave way, and
with a mighty roar the sea of water went
out through the valley, taking with
it every movable object. For twenty
miles tho soil is plowed up. Trees,
fences, crops and hundred of head of live
stock have been swept away. No lives
were dost because tho people had taken
wamingand because tho housesare situated
on tho bluff that overlooks the valley. But
the canal for miles is a wreck and thou
sands oi feet of railroad track are washed
away.
At Athens tho Cincinnati. "Washington fc
Baltimore and Hocking Vallejr railroad
tracks are carried away and trains will be
delayed several days. Koads and bridges
are annihilated, and tho wholo valley for
miles look like a dry water-course. Com
petent judges place the loss in tho hun
dreds of thousands of dollars.

unanimity, however, tho report is certain
to arouso the most violent storm against
tho crown and the royal family that has
been known in England for a century, and
one of the results is suro to be tho prolong
ation of the present Parliament into tho

keepers, who are usually classed with tho

THE SHAM BOllED.
He I Getting Tired of Globe-Trotting TIow
Ills Jewels Were 1xt and lletnrned.
London Special to Pittsburg Dispatch.
Tho Shah still goes on eight-seeing,
though his unlucky Majesty is getting very
tire'd of it, goes to sleep more and more,
misses his engagements, and occasionally
protests against being taken away from
something that he likes, as Lake Lomond,
to go somewhere else, to a place that bores
him. He does not want to go to Glasgow,
or to stay at other places, but, as ho is a
globe-trctter, ho is bound to globe-trot.
Aitnougn no is Kiug, ana Keeps going
ahead, the Shah has just had a very serious
nervo storm, and some of his attendants
have had a much worse one. Four of these
dark Persian gentlemen are intrusted with
the care of the black leather bag which con
tains about S3.000.000 worth of tho Shah's
best jewels. Tho fact has transpired that
when the Shah arrived at Hatlield. Lord
Salisbury's place, tho bag of jewels was
missing, ana not one of the four unlucky
attendants could hnd it. A special train
was sent back to London, and, after a long
hunt, the bag of diamonds, rubies, etc., was
found in the royal stables, in tho boot of
the drag which carried tho Shah s luggage
to the railroad station a wonderful oppor
tunity lor Eonaou's professional thieves.
When the four Persians intrusted with tho
iewela recovered tho bac they actunllv
Kissed it, and embraced it. and carried it
oil to the Shah, all holding on to it together.
Their fate, on returning to Persia, if they
nau lost, xueso jewels, is not picasanc to con
template but very easy to guess.
Conlidenco in the Shah's moral character
is becoming more and more undermined. It
is well known that ho brought with him
ono of tho young Circassian girls whom ho
had received as a present from his minister
in Constantinople, and this was thought
quite moderate on his part, and did not call
forth any special outcry from tho Eritish
matron; but now it is rumored that beside
this Circassian, to which ho confesses, tho
Shah has got one or two specimens from
tho homo harem going about with him.
dressed up in Persian men's clothes. This
information, however, is not strictly
reliable. Tho Shah apparently dots
not consider a long list of wives
altogether without its unpleasant
points, aud I havo it as a fact from
the grand old man's sou. Herbert Glad
stone, that the Shah actually did say, when
informed that tlio grand old man was on
tho point of celebrating his golden wed
ding, that ho was not certain but that it
was better to live fifty years with ono
woman than ono with fifty women. That
remark, by the way, is not original with
the Shah, but perhaps ho may have rein
vented it.
In reply to a question asked by Lord
Wolseley the Shah has said that tho thing
which pleased him most in England wero
the llowcrs and tho conjuring hardly what
one would expect from a potentate from
tbe East, where llowers and conjuring, es
pecially tho latter, aro commonly supposed
to tlourish far beyond anything that wo
havo imagined.

ENFORCING THE SUNDAY LAW.
Sa Vyyi-lCrier Jtetalite at Cincinnati -,ly
I Closing All llranches of Trade.
Cincinnati, July 21. It was rumored
yesterday that tho saloon-keepers had
made a secret combine to defy the law by
keeping open to-day. Never since the be
ginning of the attempt to enforce tho Sun
day law were the saloons so generally and
so tightly closed as they havo been to-day.
Thero havo been fifteen arrests, all
told, and six of theso wero bar
keepers representing three 6aloons,
and nine wero saloon-keepers. Less than
half a dozen of tho other offenders were in
the heart of the city. Of tho remainder,
one was on tho borders of Clifton, ono was
in Woodburn, tho extreme eastern part of
tho city; another in Price Hill, near the ex
treme western corporation line; still another
was near Cumminsville, and the other two
or three were on the edges of the city, in
out-of-the-way places remote from each
other. The police wero very vigilant in
carrying ont their instructions.
Mr. Geo. F. Coan, a member of tho law
and order league, and a printer in the em
ploy of Mr. Huston, secretary of that
eague, visited Eichlers big saloon near
mruet oods ana on the oonlers of uiit-
ton, about noon, and made it generally
cnown that he was of the law and order
eague, and was there to call on tho police
;o close tho establishment. Thereupon a
crowd of roughs among tho customers set
upon Coan, knocked him down and began
to beat him. The polico rescued himbeforo
ho was badly hurt, and took him in a patrol
wagon to a place of safety. They then ar
rested Eichler. the proprietor, and his four
barkeepers. In rescuing Mr. Coan some of
the polico were struck with canes by mem
bers of the riotous crowd, for which they
got knocked down on tho spot by official
clubs.
That tbe saloons wero closed to-night was
evidenced by the numerous applications
of old "soakers" at drug stores for
whisky. Tho drng stores were not per
mitted, to sell anything, but medicines, and
soda-water, with acid phosphates, but
without syrup, was classed as medicine, as
were Vichy and other mineral waters. Not a
cigar or plngof tobacco could be had except
clandestinely. Cigar stores that aro news
stands, wero" allowed to keep open to soli
papers. Barber-shops were shut up tightly.
Altogether it was a quiet Sunday. It is
universally understood hero that the clos
ing of drug stores and cigar stores, butcher
shops, bakeries, etc., is a retaliatory move
ment by tho saloon-keepers, inasmuch as
the law and order league is moving against
the saloons only.
Kansas City Was Dry.
Kansas City, July 21. The Sunday, law
had its desired effect for the first timo to
day since its attempted enforcement, and
Kansas City was as dry as prohibition
Kansas. For three weeks the police have
attempted to close tho saloons on Sunday,
but without avail until to-day. Arrests
were first made under a city ordinance
which provided that no saloon should be
kept open within the municipal limits.
Convictions could not bo had under that
ordinance, tho polico judge holding that
saloon-keepers who admitted their custom
ers through the side alley doors were not
keeping an open saloon. Then the
police commissioners ordered that
arrests bo made under tbo State,
or Downing," law, which makes it a
felony to sell intoxicating liquors on Sun
day, and renders it obligatory upon tho
part of the trial judge to revoke the license
in every conviction. Forty arrests were
made last Sunday under tho latter law.
Appeals wero taken by all of the prisoners
from justices to tbo Circuit Court, and tho
trials have not yet occurred.
To-day Chief of Polico Speers placed in
the hands of forty-five polico ofiicers blank
State warrants for tho arrest of saloon-keepers
who violated the Downinglaw. The om
cers were in citizens' clothes, and they kept
a strict watch on their respective beats for
chances to 6erve the warrauts. Only threo
of them found tho chance. Besides thoso
three there were only five other arrests in
the whole city, and but two of theso wero
booked as "drunks." The city was dry.

Feculiar Ceremonies Attending the Marriage
of an Indian and a Pretty Hoosier Girl.
Special to tho Inilaaaiolis Journal.
Rossyille, Ind., July 21.The most novel
wedding ceremony that probably ever
occurred in this State was performed hero
last night. Tho contracting parties wero
John Deerfoot and Alice Van Camp. . Mr.
Decrfoot, whoso Indian name is Sawadis,
is a full-blood Cherokee, who is traveling
as an athlete with Dr. White Cloud's Indian
company. He is about twenty-ono years old,
and a fine looking Indian, was born and
reared in Tahlequa, I.T., and is an intelli
gent young man. Tho brido is the daughter
of Win. Van Camp, of Clinton county. She
is a very modest, good-looking young lady
of nineteen years; was born in Wabash,
and removed to this county about live
years ago. Her parents consented to her
marriage, as tho young husband is un
objectionable, and is reputed quite well-to-do.
The couple first met at Frankfort
while Dr. "White Cloud's company were at
that place, the young man boarding at the
bouse whero the girl was working, and an
atlection immediately sprang up in her
heart for her dusky Indian wooer. Tho
course of true lovo bore a lforseshoo on its
bosom, and warded away all evil currents.
The ceremony was performed by Fs
quiro K. A. Clark, before an audience of
between two and three thousand people.
Dr. White Cloud had advertised it far and
wide on his medicine bills, and people
gathered in from miles around. Many un
derstanding that the wedding was to occur
in tho daytime gathered in before noon,
and the afternoon witnessed, perhaps, livo
thousand people in town. They wero eu
tertained, as the announcement stated they
would be, by Indian performances of all
sorts. Promptly at 9 o'clock the bride and
Sroom made their appearance on an out
oor stago, and were married according to
the civil laws, after which the Indian mar
riage ceremony was performed by Dr.
White Cloud, who is an adopted Indian, as
sisted by Red Cloud and Chief Eagle Flk,
and his squaw. This was, perhaps, the
most entertaining part of the programme.
The pledges made by the squaw were re
cited and consented to in Knglish. Tbo
brido promised to tako caro of tno groom's
tent and carry the same; to follow him on
tho hunt in the forest, and to guard his
hunting implements while he was on tho
war-path, in token of which she stuck a
stick iu the earth, and gave her vow -that
she would be true to him until his body re
turned to that samo earth from whence it
was taken, and also bo faithful to him in
tho happy hunting-grounds. Jlis vows
were made in tho Indian tonguo. After tho
ceremony tho groom presented his bride
with a buck-skin, in token that ho would
always provide her with the best bed tho
earth could afford. Then there was a dis
play of small fire-works, part of which
caught fire prematurely, and carried dis
may into tho crowd that wero in tho way.
Fortunately no one was hurt. The strangely-wedded
pair received congratulations
from many, and a nice cake from the ladies
of tho Woman's Relief Corps of this place.
FREE WITH HIS REVOLVER.

man, sixty years of age, shot two men and
two boys last night. Yesterday.. he had
6omo words with Mrs. Moore, his boarding
houso keeper. Wlicn E. Johnson, her step

conduct and Johnson sharply unbraided
Nutt. Nutt drew a forty-four-calibro re
volver and promptly opened fire. Tho first
ball grazed Johnson's thigh and tho second
hit Thomas Watson, shattering tho shin
bono. Nutt then ran into the street and
was pointed out to a policeman, who save
chase. Nutt turned and fired two shots
in quick succession. Ihe first missed
tho officer, but hit a little colored
boy named Ira Mitchell under the left eye.
The wound is not dangerous. Tho second
shot also missed its mark, but was fired at
such close quarters that the blazo from tbo
mouth of the pistol burned the officer's eye
brows. The bullet hit another boy about
auiocKaway.
Nutt was not disposed to yield his libertv.
and iindiuc his weapon empty began a ter
rific struggle with tho officer, biting
scratching andkicking with all his strength.
He succeeded in getting tho officer's thumb
between his teeth, and it was not until the
policeman pushed his own revolver down
the negro's throat, and told him he wonltl
shoot him unless ho became quiet, that he
hnally concluded to submit. Ho was tuen
taken to tne station. An examination of
officer O'Shoa's thumb showed that it had
nearly been severed from his hand.

PAUL'S OUTRAGEOUS CONDUCT.
Ills Gross Violation of the Clrll-Serne Law
Denounced by Commissioner Thompson.
Washington Special to Milwaukee SentlneL
It was rumored hero to-day that Post
master Paul had made a vigorous retort in
an interview concerning tho Civil-servico
Commission's report. The afternoon papers
here printed extras with tbo interview.
Commissioners Lyman and Roosevelt were
out of tho city aud noth'iisr could bts ob
tained from them. Inquiry at the commis
sioners' rooms found Commissioner Thomp
son, the Democratic member of the board.
Governor Thompson was not dispofsd to
talk further on tho subject of Milwaukee's
postmaster. Ho intimated that tho report
itself was a suflicient answer to all Mr.
Paul had said or possibly could say in ex
planation. "Hutv7 said ' Commissioner
Thompson, "I don't understand why Mr.
Paul should fly up and show particular re- .
continent toward CoinzissionerRoosevelt.
Mr. Roosevelt has taken no more part in
this matter than Mr. Lyman and myself,
except that ho made a draft of the last re
port, which wo all went over thoroughly
and approved in detail, and wo stand by
every word of it, individually and collect
ively." Going into the case more fully. Commis
sioner Thompson said: "When wo went to
Milwaukee, I must admit that, a Democrat,
I was prejudiced in favor of Mr. Paul, and,
although tho records showed that ho had
grossly violated tho civil-servico laws and
rules, I believed that ho had dono to from
ignorance, and not from a malicious desire
to overthrow tho law. But when we met
Mr. Paul in Milwaukee and examined him,
his answers confirmed all wo have charged.
As a Democrat I was willing and anxious
to stand by Mr. Paul, and had rather light
for him, but I must own that I was not only,
mortified but astonished at his open and
outrageous violations of too law, and I
conld make no defense for him, hut gladly
joined in making each unanimous report
ag:unst him."
Commissioner Thompson did not chooro
to bandy words with Mr. Paul, nor reas
sert as troths the statements published m
the report asking for Paul's removal. H
joins in the opinion given by both JLyman
and lioosovelt a lew days ago that .Mr, raul
is a most remarkable man, whose state
ments from day to day appear, when
placed side by side, not to havo been made
Vy tho same man. Mr. Koosevelt, when ho
returns, will probably reply to -3lr. ram s
statements that tho Civil-servico Commis
sion's last report is a most disreputable
and foolish lot of misrepresentations and
falsehoods, and that Mr. Paul defies any
ono to show where he has violated tho law
or rules of tho commission in a single par
ticular. liy quoting the statements recently made
in letters by raul to the commission, in
which Paul asserts that he has just been
through the certification books, aud found
what a bad lot Dr. Shidy was. Mr. Roose
velt shows it was impossible for Shidy to
evade tho law without Paul knowing it
and abetting it
WEATHER AND CROrS.
Excessive Italns Slightly Damage Wheat and
Oats, but the Warm Weather Helps Corn.
Washington; July 20.The Signal Office
furnishes the following weather-crop bul
letin for tho week ended Saturday, July
0:
Tho week endine Julv 20 has been slieht-
ly warmer than usual in the States west
of the Mississippi river and in Mississippi,
Maryland, Delaware and portions of Penn
sylvania, Virginia and Alabama. About
the normal temperature has prevailed m
the South Atlantic States, tho Ohio and
the upper Mississippi valleys, whne tho
daily temperature in Kew Kugland
and tho upper lako region, in
cluding the northern portion of Indiana,
Illinois and Ohio has averaged about threo
decrees below the mean for the week. Tho
thermal conditions for tho treason havo
changed but slightly since tho last report.
In tho States of the Mississippi and Ohio
valleys and tho lako regions, the daily
average tcmperaturo has differed less than
one degree from the normal, while in
southern New England, eastern New York,
and in tho extreme northwest the daily
temperature for the season has averaged
two degrees above tho normal, aud in
northern Dakota this excess amounts to
four degrees. Along tho south Atlantio
and Gulf coasts the season has been slight
ly cooler than usual. .
Thero has been moro than tho average
amount of rain-fall during the week, gener
ally throughout tho Northern States, tho
only exceptions being in Minnesota, north
ern Wisconsin and east Dakota, where only
local showers occurred. Tho rain-fall Laj
also b?en in excess in Georgia aud portions
of Alabama, South Carolina and Texas.
Over tho remaining portions of th South
ern fctatesgeuerousiainsoccnrred, although
the amount was less than tbe average lor
tho week, except in Kentucky, West Vir
ginia, and the west portions of Virginia,
where the rain-fall was in excess.
Although the rain-fall in Minnesota and
Dakota was less than the average dur
ing the week, three-fourths of an inch
of rain fell in southern Dakota, over on
inch at Bismarck and over half an inch in
the extreme northeast portions of Dakota,
but only slight showers occurred over Min
nesota and along tbe eastern border of Da
kota. The seasonal rain-fall from Jan. 1
to July 20 continued in excess from New
York southward to Florida, and from Texas
northward to tho Missouri valley, alo in
northern Illinois and eastern Wisconsin.
Over the greater portion of the cotton re
gion, and in the principal corn-producing
States the rain-fall for the 6casou generally
exceeds W per cent, of tho normal. The
heavy ruin-falls during tbo past week havo
reduced the seasonal deficiency of rain-fall
fiTeviouslv reported in the upper Ohio val
ey, including portions of Ohio, Indiana and
Kentucky, whero about TO per cent, of tho
usual rainfall is reported.
In Minnesota and Dakota tho weather
was favorable for growing crops and for
harvesting, which is in progress as far
north as central Minnesota. Throughout
the principal corn States, from Ohio west
ward to Nebraska, tho weather was gener
ally favorable to that crop, which is report
ed in excellent condition, but excessive
rains caused somo damage to wheat and
oats, and interrupted harvesting in some
localities. In the Southwest, including
tho States of Texas, Louisiana and Arkan
sas, tho excess of sunshine aud light show
ers proved very favorable to all growiug
crops, and cotton is reported as much im
proved. Kentucky reports the tobacco
crop improving under tho favorable
weathcrof the past week; that theharvestiug
of a good crop of oats is m piogrc s. ana
that corn was never in better condition.
In Tennessee, Mississippi and Alabama ex
cessive rains havo caused some damage to
cotton, which is greatly in need of culture.
In Middle Tennessee wheat was damaged,
and tobacco is growing well, but tho
weather was unfavorable for farm-work.
In the south Atlantic States and Virginia
the weather was especially favorable Ux
