Text : "Thrn Davll nnl tho pooplo that wero with him lifted up their voice an l wopt until they hal no moro powsr to weep. David recovered all." I fianaael nr.. 4, 19. Thre is intenso excitement in the vill.acro of Zikl.icr. David and his men are- Mddln? pooilby to their families and sm of for the wars. In that little village of Ziklag the de fonoeless ones will he safe until the warriors, flushed with victory, come home. But will the defenseless ones be safe? The soft arms of children are around the necks of the bronze warriors until thpy shake themselves free and start, and handkerchiefs anil flaffs are waved anil kisses thrown until the armed men vanish beyond the hills. David an 1 his men soon Ret through with their campaign and start homeward. Every night on their way home no sooner does the soldier put his head on the knapsack than in his dream he hears the welcome of the wife and the shout of the child. Oh, what long stories they will have to tell their families of how they dodged the bat tleax, and then will roll up their sleeve and show the half healed woim l. With glad, riuiek step, they inarch on, David and his men, for they are marehlnghotne. Nowthey come ap to the last hill which overlooks Zik lag, and they expect in a moment to see. the dwelling places of their loved ones. They look, and as they look their cheek turns pale, and their lip quivers, and their hand invol untarily comes down on the hilt of the sword. "Where is Zlklag? Where are our homes V they cry. Alas, the curling smoke above the ruin tells the tragedy ! The Atnal"kites have come down and con sumed the village and carried the mothers, and the wives, and the childron of David and h:s nieu into captivity. The swarthy war riors stand fora few moments transflxod with horror. Then their eyes glance to ouch other, and they burst into uncontrollable weeping, for when a strong warrior weeps the grief is appalling. It seems as if the emotion might tear him to pieces. They "wept until they had nomore power to weep." I'.ut soon their sorrow turns into rage, and David, swinging his sword high in air, cries, "Pursue, for thou shalt overtake them, and without fail recover all." Now the march becomes a "double quick." Two hundred of David's men stop by the brook IJesor, faint with fatigue and grief. They cannot go a step farther. They are left there. But the Dther 400 men under David, with a sort of panther step, march on in sorrow and in rage. They flud by the side of the road a half nead tgyptian, and they resuscitate him and ompei him to tell the whole story. He says. "Yonder they went, the captors and the cap tives," pointing in the direction. Forward, ye 400 brave men of lire ! very soon David and his enraged company come upon the Amalekitish host. Yonder they see their own wives and children and mothers, and under Amalekitish guard. Here nre the officers of the Amalekitish army hold ing a banquet. T.io cups are full ; the music is roused ; the dance begins. Tho Amalekit ish host cheer and cheer and cheer over their victory. But, without note of bugle or warn ing of trumpet, David and his 400 men burst upon the scene. David and his men look un, and one glance at their loved ones in captiv ity and under Amalekitish guard throws them into a very fury of determination, foi you know how men will light when they light for their wives and children. Ah, there are lightnings in their eye, and every linger is a spear, and their voice is like the shout ot the whirlwind! Amid tho upset tankarlsand tho costly viands crushed underfoot, the wounded Amalekitcs lie, their blood mm gling with their wine, shrieking for mercy. No sooner do David and his men win the L-tory than they throw their swords down into the dnst what do they want with swords now? and the broken families eomo together amid a great shout of joy that makes the parting scene in Ziklag seem very insipid in the comparison. The rough old warrior has to use some persuasion before he can get his child to come to him now after so long an absence, but soon the llttlo linger traces the familiar wrinkle across tho scarre 1 face. And then the empty tankards are set up, and they nre tilled with the best wine from tho hiils, and David and his men, the husbands, the wives, the brothers, tho sisters, drink to tho overthrow of the Amalokites and to tho rebuilding of Ziklag. So. O Lord, lot Thine enemies perish ! Now they are coming home, David and his men and their families a long pro cession. Men, women and children, loaded with jewels tin 1 robes and with all kinds of trophies that the Amalekites had gathered up in years of conquest everything now in tho hands of David and his men. When they come by the brook Besor, the place where staid the men s'ok and incompetent to travel, tho jewels and the robes and all kinds of treasures are divided among the sick as well as among the well. Surely tho lame and exhausto I ought to have some of the treasures. Here is a robe for a pale faced warrior. Here is it pillow for this dying man. Here is a handful of gold for the wasted trumpeter. I really think that these men who fainted by the brook Besor may have endured as raach as those men who went into the battle. Some mean fel lows objected to the sLk ones having any of tho spoils, lhe object -jrs said, "Theso men did not fight." David, with a magnanimous heart, replies, ''As his part is that goeth down to the battle, so shall his part be that tarrieth by the stuff." This subject is nractieallv suggestive to me. Thank God, in these times a man can go off on a journey and be gone weeks and months and come back and see his house uutouche 1 of incendiary and have his family on tho step to greet him if by telegram he has fore told the moment of his coming. Bat there are Amalekitish disasters, there are Amale kitish diseases that sometimes comes down upon one's home, making as devastating work as the day when Ziklag took lire. There are families yoa represent broken up. No battering ram smote in the door, no iconoclast crumbled the statues, no fl mo leaped amid the curtains, but so far as all the joy and merriment that once baloage 1 to that house are, concerned tho home has departed. Armed diseases came down upon the qui etness ot tho scene scariet fevers or pleu risies or consumptions or undefined disor ders came and seized upon some members ot that family and carried them awav. Zik lag in ashes ! And you go about, sometimes weeping an I sometimes enraged, wanting to get back your loved ones as much as David and his men wanted to reconstruct their despoiled households. Ziklag in ashes Some of von went off lrom homo. You counted the days of your absence. Every day seemed as long as a week. Oh, how g'.ad voa were when the time came for you to go aboard the steamboat or railroad and start for home! You arrived, lou went up the street where vour dwelling was, and in the night you put your hand on the doorbell, anil, behold ! it was wrapped with the signal of bereavement, and you found that Amalakitish death, vehicli has devas tate.! a thousand other households, nau blasted vours. You go about woepinj ami the desolation of vour once happy home. thinking of the bright eyes closed, and tho noble hearts stopped, and tho gentle hands folded, and you weep until you have no more power to weep. Ziklag in ashes : A gentleman went to a friend of mine in the city of Washington and asked that through him he might get a consulship to some foreign port. My friend said to him : "What do you want to go away ironi your beautiful home for into a foreign port?" "Oh," he replied, "my home is gone ! My six children are dead. I must get away, sir. I can't stand it in this country any longer. Ziklag in ashes ! Why these long shadows of bereavement across this audience? Why is it that in a' most every assemblage black is tho predom inant color of the apparel? Is it because you do not like saffron or brown or violet? Oh. no ! You say "The world is not so bright to us as once It was," and thde is a story of silent voices, and of still feet, and of loved ones gone, and when you look over the hi'.l.t expecting only beauty and loveliness you find only devastation and woe. Ziklag in ashes ! One day. In Ulster County, N. Y., the vil lage cburoa wt deoorated until tM fra grance of the flowers was almost bowilac" ing. The maidens of the village had emp tied the place of flowers upon one marriage altar. One of their number was amancea to a minister of Christ, wh- hai come to take her to his own home. With hands joined, amid a congratulatory audience, the vow3 were taken. In three days from that time one of those who stood at tno altar ex changed earth for heaven. The wedding march broke down into tho funral dirg". There were not enough flowers now for the coffin lid, because they had all been taken for the bridal hour. Tho dead minister of Christ is brought to another village. He had gone out from them less than a week before in his strength ; now he comes home lifeless. The whole church bewailed him. The solemn procession moved around to look upon the still face that once had beamed the messages of salvation. Jjlttio children wero lifted up to look at him. And some of thoso whom he had comforted In days of sorrow, when they passed that silent form, made the placo droaami wuu tueir weeping. Another village omptled or its flowers some of them put in the shape ot a cross to symbolize his hope, others put in the shape of a crown to symbolize his triumph. A hundred lights blown out in one strong gu.st from the open door ot a sepulchre. Ziklag In ashes ! I nreachod this sermon to-day because l want to rallv you. as David rallied bis men, for the recovery of the love 1 and tho lost. I want not only to win hoavon, but I want all this congregation to go along with me. I fuel that somehow I have a responsibility in your arriving at that groat city. Vo you roa'.iy want to join the companionship of your love I ones who have gone? Are you as anxious to join them as David and his men were to otn their families Then 1 am f ere, in tho name of God, to say that you may and to tell vou how. I remark, in tho first place, if you want to join your loved ones in glory, you must travel the same way tney wenr. no sooner na l the half dead Egyptian been re.susoitate.1 than he pointed tho way the captors and the captives b;vd gone, and Dtivlil an t nis mer. followed after. So our Christian friends have gone into another eouatry, and if we want to reach thoir con nionship we must take tho same road. They repentel. Wo must repent. They prayed. Wo must pray. They trusted in Christ. We must trust in Christ. They lived a religious life. We must live a religious life. They wero in some things like ourselves. I know, now they are gone, there is a halo around their names, but they had their faults. They said and did things they ought never to have said or done. They were sometimes .rebellious, sometimes east down. They wore far from boing perfect. So I suppose that when we have gone some things in us that are now only tolerablo may be almost rospleniont. But as thev wero liko us in deficiencies we ought to be liko them in taking a supernal Christ to make up for the deficits. Had It not been for Jesus they would havo all perished, but Christ confronted them and said. "I am the way," and they took it. I have also to say to you that the path that these captives trod was a trouble 1 path, and that David anl his men had to go over the same difficult way. While these captives were being taken off they said, "Oh, we are cr i-.i.l . m'o niu uv aib- wa nrn ai i 1 1 1 1 .r r V P' But the men who had charge of them said : Stop this crying. Goon!" David and his men also foun I it a hard way. Tiiey had to travel it. Our friends have gone into g ory, and It is through much tribulation that we are to enter into tho king lo;n. Ho w our loved ones used to have to struggle! How their old hearts ached! How sometimes they had a tussle for bread! In our child hood we won lered why there were 30 many wrinkles on their faces. Wo did not know that what were callol "crow's feet" on their faces were tho marks of the black raven of trouble. Did you ever hear the old people, seated by the evening stand, talk over their early trials, their hardships, tho a in dents, the burials, the disappointments, tno empty flour barrel when there were so many hungry ones to feed, tho sickness almost unto death, where the n ixt dose of morphino decided botweeu ghtistly bereavemont ami an unbroken home circle? Oh, yes ! It was trouble that whitened their hair. It was trouble that shook tho cup iu thoir hands. It was trouble that washed the luster from their eyes with tho rain of tears uatil they needed spectacles. It was trouble that made the cane a necessity for their journey. Do you never remember seeing your oi l mocner Bitting on some rainy day looking out of the window, her elbow on the window sill, her hand to her brow, looking out, not seeing the falling shower at all (you well knew she was looking Into the distant past ), until ino apron came up to her eyes boeauso the mem ory was too much for heri" Oft the bii?, unbidden tear, Stealing down the furrowel cheek, Tol I in eloquence slueore Talcs of woe they could not speaSc But, this scene of weeplns; o'er, Past tbls scene of toil and pill, They shall feel distress no more, Never, never weep ajaiu. "Who are thoso under tho altar?" the question was asked, and the response came, "Theso are they which came out of great tribulation and have washed their robes and made them white in the blooi of the Lamb." Our friends went by a path of tears into glory. Bo not surprised if we have to travel tho same pathway. I remark again, if we want to win tho so ciety of our friends in heaven, we will not only have to travel a path of faith and a path of tribulation, but we will also have to posi tively battle for their companionship. David and his men never wanted sharp swords, and invulnerable shields, and thick breastplates so much as they wanted them on the day when they came down upon tho Amelikites. If they had lost that battle, they never would havo got their families back. I suppose that one glanco at their loved ones in captivity hurled them into tho tattle with tenfold courage and energy. They said: "Wo must win it. Everything depends upon it. Lot oaeh one take a man on point of spear or sword. We must win it." And I havo to tell you that between us an 1 coming into tho companionship of our loved ones T7ho aro departed there is an Austerlitz, there is a Gettysburg, there is a Waterloo, War with the world, war with tho tlesh, war with the devil. We have either to conquer our trou bles, or our troubles will conquer us. David will either slay the Amalekites, orthe Amale kites will slav David. And yet is not the fort to be taken worth all the pain, all the peril, all tho besiegement? Look ! Who are they on tho bright bills of heaven yonder? Thero they are, those who sat at your own table, the chair now vncant. There they are, thoso whom you rocked in inlancy in the cradle or hushed to sleep in your arms. There thoy are, those in whose life your life wa3 bound up. There they are, their brow more radiant than ever before you saw it, their lips waiting for the kiss of heavenly greeting, their cheek roseate with tho health of eternal summer, their hands beckoning you up the steep, the feet bounding with the mirth of heaven. The pallor of their last sickness gone out of their face, nevermore to be sick, nevermore to cough, nevermore to limp, nevermore to be old, nevermore to weep, rney are waicning from those heights to see if through Christ you can tako that fort, and whether you will rush in upon them victors. They know that upon this battle depends whether you will ever ioin their society. Up ! Strike harder ! Charge more bravely ! Remember that every Inch you gain puts you so much farther on toward that heavenly reunion. If this morning while I speak you could hear the cannonade of a foreign enemy which was to despoil your city, and if they really should succeed in carrying your famines nwav from vou. how lone would we take before we resolved to go after them? Every weapon, whether fresh from the armory or old and rusty in the garret, would be brought out, and we would urge n, and coming in front of the foe we wot-H look at them and then look at our families, and the cry would be, "Victory or death !" and when the ammunition was gone we would take the eaptors on the point of the bayonet or under the breeeh of the gun. It you would make such a struggle tot the getting back of your earthly friends, will you not mafce as much struggle for the gain ing of the eternal companionship of your heavenly friends? Oh. yes, we must join then ! We must sit in their holy soolety. We must slag with them the song. We munt celebrate with them the triumph. Let it never be told on earth or in heaven that David and his men pushed out with braver hearts for the getting back of their earthly friends for a few years on earth than we to get our departed ! You say that all this implies that our de parted Cbxiatifta friends are aliye. Way, had you any idea they were dead? They have only moved. If you should go on the 2d of May to s house where one of your friend lived and find him gone, you would not think that he was dead. You would Inquire next door where he had moved to. Our de parted Christian friends have only taken an other house. The secret is that they are richer than they onee were and can afford a better residence. They once drank out of earthenware. Th6y now drink from the King's chalice. "Joseph is yet alive," and Jacob will go up and seo him. Living, are they? Why, if a man can live in this damp, dark dungeon of earthly captivity, can he not live where he breathes tho bracing at mosphere of the mountains ot heaven? Oh, yes, they are living ! Do you think that Paul is so near dead now as he was when he was living in the Roman dungeon? Do you thiDk that Fred erick Robertson, of Brighton, is as near dead now as he was when, year after year, he slept seated on the floor, his head on the bottom of a chair, because he could And ease In no other position? Do you think that Robert Hall is as near dead now as when on his couch he tossed in physical torture. No. Death gave them the few black drops that cured them. That is all death does to a Christian cures him. I know that what I have said implies that they are living. There is no question about that. The only ques tion this morning is whether you will ever join them. But I must not forget those 200 men who fainted by tho brook Besor. They could not take another step farther. Their feet were sore ; thoir head ached ; their entire nature was exhausted. Besides that they were broken hearted because their homes were gone. Ziklag in ashes! And yet David, when he comes up to them, divides the spoils among them ! He says they shall have some of the jewels, some of the robes, some of the treasures. I look over this audience this morning, and I find at least 200 who have fainted by the brook Besor the brook of tears. You feel as if you could not take another step farther, as though you could never look up again. But I am going to imi tate David and divido among you some glorious trophies. Here is a robe, "All things work together for good to thoso who love" God." Wrap yourself in that glorious promise. Here is for your neck a string of pearls mado out ot crystallized tears, "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning." Here is a coronet, "Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life." Oh, ye fainting ones by tho brook Besor, dip your blistered feet in the running a roam of Go l's mercy, bathe your brow at the wells of salvation, soothe your wounds with the balsam that exudes from trees of life. God will not utterly cast you off, O broken hearted man, O broken hearted woman, fainting by the brook Besor ! A shepherd finds that his musical pipe is bruised. He says : "I can't get any more musio out of this instrument, so I will just break it, and I will throw thi3 reed away. Then I will got another reed, and I will play musio on that." But God says Ha will not cast you off because all the music has gone out of your soul. "Tho bruised reed He will not break." As far as I can tell the diag nnaia nt vmir Hi-.ase vou want divine nurs ing, and it is promised you, "As one whom his mother comiortein so m a ui" you. God willsee youau lue way uurusmu, O troubled soul, and when you como down to the Jordan of death you will fin 1 it to be as thin a brook as liesor, ior ur. iwumsuu says that in April Besor dries up and there is rl in vour last moment you will be as placid as the Kentucky min ister Who Went Up to UOU, say ing lu iua umn hnnr- "Writo to mv sister Kate and tell her not to be worried and frightened about the story ot tno uorrors arouu i mo deathbed. Tell her tnere is noi a worn r.f i-nth in tf tor T rtti there now. anl Jesus is with mo, and I find it a very happy way, not becauso 1 am a goo.i man, ior x am nw. I am nothing but a poor, miserable sinner, but I have an Almighty Saviour, and both of His arms are around me." May God Almighty, through tho blood of the everlasting covenant, bring us into the companionship of our loved ones who have already entered the heavenly land and into the presence of Christ, whom, not having seen, we love, and so David shall recover all, "and as his part is that goeth down to the battle, so shall his part be that tarrieth by the stuff." THE LABOR WORLD. It requires forty men to make an ax. Labor Unions in China are 3000 years old. LabobIs more fully employed than a year ago. A blacksmith In Jerusalem can make $ 1.92 per week. Of tho 25,000 bookbinders fu this country only 5000 are organized. The Swiss watch industry is suffering from severe depression. A Beef-Boners' Union has been organ ized in Kansas City, Mo. The union clerks at Nashville, Tona., havo organized a fife and drum corps. The initiation fee of Laborers' Union Pro tective Society has been raised to $10. The number of textile workers in this country is estimated at about 800,000. A movement is on foot to increase tho wages of boys in glass factories ten per cent. Chicago's Health Commissioner will or ganize forty medical students as sweat shop inspectors. The fourth annual convention of tho Na tional Textile Union waa held reoontly in Vhiladelphia. The 'Longshorbmen's National Union is now about one year old, and it has thirty two local branches. The Brotherhood of Locomotive En gineers held, recently, its annual National Convention at St. Paul, Minn. The labor organizations in Jersey City Heights, N. J., formed nn association to es tablish a Labor Lyceum in that vicinity. In consequence of the coal strikes in this country Scotch mine owners were asked to tender shipments of coal for the United States. PeesiCent McBeide estimated that 175, 000 out of the 191,003 bituminous coal miners in the United States joined the strike.

The "bullet-prooi" cloth, which has at tracted so much attention in European armies, is to be tested by American military men The United States military attache at the Berlin legation has been authorized to pro cure specimens of the Mannheim bullet-proof cloth and an entire suit, if possible, for trial in this country. There is much interest among army officers regarding this cloth. They say that while it is hardly suitable for infantry on account of its weight, it might be valuable for the protection of the cavalry Brftish Deserters There were 5000 desertions from tho Brit ish army last year.

Rftllrnmlg nF0atlv Prinnlnii TnrTnaa V trial Institutions Forced to Shut Down Bridges Washed A way Dams Broken Houses Swept From Their Foundations. Though there has been great destruction ot property by the Pennsylvania floods, there has been but little loss of life, and, ac cording to the latest dispatches, the waters generally were receding, so that the worst was considered to be over. For five days and nights western and cen tral Pennsylvania wore storm swept. Cloud bursts occurred at different points, lives have have been lost, booms have been torn to pieces, and immense quantities of valuable timber scattered. Many county and railroad bridges have been carried away. Miles of railroad track have been either obliterated by extensive landslides or washed away by the floods. In the five-days the rainfall in Pittsburg was 2.2S inches. In the Allegheny Valley, at Warren, it was 6.91 inches. At Oil City, 5.01 ; at Johnstown, 4.31; in the Monongahela Valloy, at Confluence, it was 2.81 ; at Fair mont, 1.56 ; at Lock 4, on the Monongahela, it was 2.50 : at Rowlesburg, on the Cheat River, it was 5.45. In some sections the memorable floods of 18S9 and 1891 were surpassed by several feet. This was the case In the Juniata Valley of southern and southwestern Pennsylvania and along the west fork of the Susquehanna River In the northern central portion of the State. The Pittsburg and Western traoks in Alle gheny were covered. Traffic between Pitts burg and Altoona was suspended, the Penn sylvania trains going around by the Balti timore and Ohio. At Bradford the loss was about $20,000. During the flood lime in the slacking pro cess caused a Are, whioh burned the Oil Well Supply Company's warehouse. Fire men who were engaged in rescuing flood sufferers had to turn thoir attention to fight ing the Are. This they did standing waist deep in water. At Warren tho nood was the greatest since 1873. Business wa3 practically suspended. Row boats took the place of Btroet cars in the lower part of the city. On the island the water reached into the second stories of tho houses. In tho west end four feet of water covered about eight squares. At Brookville the Allegheny Valley Hail- road bridge was washed away, and passen gers were transferred in busses by a round about way. The Buffalo, Rochester ami Pittsburg tracks were washed out Dotween Du Bois and Punxsutawney, and traffic was suspended. The imuadeipnia ana n.no itoaa eat oi Driftwood was flooded. A bridge on the Clearfield and Mahoning, near Curwensvllle, was swept away, and traffic on that line was suspended. The lower portion of Freeport was under water, and the loss ran into tno thousands. The same situation prevailed at Newport. In Allegheny William weigntman. agea nineteen, while trying to capture driftwood from the Allegheny lost his balanee and fell in, and was-swept away and drowned. Hi ram A. Gillen. a teamster, was drowned while attempting to ford an overflowed place on horseback in Sharpsburg. The great boom at Williamsport broke and 60,000,000 feet of logs were swept away. The Susquehanna River rose to thirty-threo feet, more than four feet higher than at the flood in 1839. Four spans of the Market street bridge were washed away, and three of the four spans ot the Maynard street bridge havo gone. Beth were iron structures, and the loss was heavy. The entire city was under water from four io twenty feet. Many sawmills and houses in the lower part of tho city were swept away. The loss reached more than a million dol lars. At Johnstown the Conemaugh was over its banks. The alarm was so andei by the fire whistles and bells of the oity, and almost all of the people who live in the neigh borhood of the Conemaugh left their houses and took shelter on higher ground. The water continued to rise rapidly, and by 3 o'clock had reached the highest point since the big flood of May 31, 1889. In many places it was from six to eight feet over the banks. The loss is variously estimated at from $75,000 to $150,000. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company, whose tracks follow the river for twenty-five miles above Johnstown, is perhaps the heaviest loser, and its loss is placed at -550,000. On the north bank of tho river, at the Pennsylvania freight depot, is a side track built upon an ash and cinder bank fifty feet above the bed of the stream. This embankment was washed out and at 4 o'clock about 200 feet of the traok fell into the water, carrying with It four common box cars loaded with merchandise and a palace horae car. In one of the box cars were Ave tramps. Three suc ceeded in escaping, but two were drowned. The greatest damage to houses was within a stone's throw of the Per nsylvania station. A store,ownedby Tony George, at the north end ot the Lincoln bridge, was completely swept away, with all its contents. A frame build ing in the rear of the Grand Central Hotel, owned by Emanuel Janes, was also swept away, as was the Startler residence on the opposite bank of the river. The body of a flood victim floated past the city at noon, but could not bo recovered. Tho Lincoln bridge was badly damaged by the floating logs and cars. The bridge at Cambria was also wrecked. Many dwell ings in the Second and Thirteenth Wards and in the Woodvale district were swept away. The dams at Loretto and at Wildwood Springs broke during the storm. Hundreds of feet of the stone-retaining wall along the Conemaugh has been swept away, entailing thousands of dollars' loss upon the citj-. At Woodvale, a mile be low, almost every house on the main thor oughfare, Maple avenue, was inundated. Three bridges have been carried away on the Pine Grove division of the Reading Rail road at Suedberg, Stony Creek and Dauphin, and traffic was completely checked. The re ports from the coal regions, especially in the vicinity of Shenandoah, say that many of the colleries nave been nooaea ana u may ia a week to Dump them out. Above the dam at the Pailadelphia water works the. Sehuvlkill River had room to snrnfid over the 2ras3 lands and driveways ot D atrmount I'arK, ana me uama&o mcia was conflned principally to washouts on the lrlve3. Below the dam the waters over flowed the wharves and backed up into the streets and houses two squares from the banks. Above South street bridge a fleet of s?hooneis was moored at the wharves, and one ot them was torn from its moorings and swept down upon another schooner and within a few minutes six sonoonera sun a canal boat were whirling down the river in a tangled masstoward the bridge. All the industrial establishments in the southern section of Harrlsburg, including the Iron and steel plants, shut down. The damage along the Lewlsburg and Tyrone I'.aiima '. that runs to "Bellefonte, is very great. Several bridges have been carried away. There are extensile washouts, and it will be weeks before traffic can be resumed. Hundreds or families were left homeless and destitute. Two children, one a girl of one year, the other a boy of seven years of age, belonging to John Krusekoski, at Nanticoke, were I'rowoed at Wilkesbarre. They fell into a ereek that wa3 swollen by the recent rains. They both went down and out of sight be fore assistance could be rendered. Their Indies were carried down the stream about COO feet and were found an hour later. Every colliery of the Reading Company except Bast an l Preston No. 3, near Ashland, an 1 Beech wood, near Pottsville, were idle. The collieries ot the Lehigh Valley Coal Company and all of the individual operators w-re also Ailed with water. The extent of the damage to collieries and railways cannot be correctly estimated, but it will certainly go over $100,000. The Schuylkill River was never so high. John Brown, aged seventeen, was drowned while tryina- to cros? a creek at Fortvilie. Rlw ird Evan, an old man, was reported ilrownei near Heekacherville. A big "vpsy camp near Tremont was washed out and several members perished. Among was a woman and her new-born babe. At Mahanoy City, in order to prevent the blockading of tho eulvrts and creeks, all tho bridges were torn down and the obstru v Hons removed so as to give freo passage to the flood. Thts precaution was also taken it Girardville. The Reading Railroad either lost completely or bad baily damaged at least twenty bridges in this one county, be sides much havoc with embankments. The abutment wall of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company basin, opposite Easton ind right below the big railroad bri lge, gave way, precipitating a torrent of waterdlroctly igalnst the piers or the new brl lge connect- ng the Pennsylvania with tho New Jersey Central an 1 Lihlgh Valley roads. Thestrain was tremendous, for the break was clean nd sudden, fully seventy-five feet of wall going down, releasing a body of water fwenty-flve feet deep. The wall was an aver age of ten feet in thickness, and it will aost st least $12.000 to repair the damage. Tho Ninal banks are washed away In various places, and it will be several months before navigation can be resumed. The break will seriously affect business on tho Morris Canal, as the Lehigh Canal was a feeder. The breast ot the dam at Sprlngton, on the Downlngton and Waynesburg Railroad. broke about 10 o'clock r. in. Tho latn cov ered about fifty acres, iiivi the vast body of wnter swept everything before It down the valley. The damage to farm property la ill t rs AJ-av a m i a ptj hi. JL.' a uu. j j. v y w it vuu Chester Creek Railroad, was carried away. At Alexandria the citizens were forced to Abandon their houses. Four new iron county bridges and one wooden bridge have been destroyed, entailing a loss of nearly $50,030 on the county. Elmer Wagner was drowned at Everett. Thousands of acres of growing crops have been destroyed and many farms covered with sand to the depth of four feet. The Bethlehem Iron Company plant was forced to shut down owing to inundations. Not since the memorable flood of 1862 have the Lehigh, Jordan aud Little Lehigh Rivers been so wild and destructive. All in dustries along the banks wero idle, and water has gotten into many of them, damag ing thousands of dollars worth of goods. The silk mill, furniture factories, flour mill, paint works, wire mill, cigar factory, planing mill and foundry were all flooded. The city was placed in darkness, the electric lights having been flooded. At Hoken laqua a new bridge, costing $40,000, has probably been irreparably damaged. Every colliery In the Lehigh region was drowned out and fully 10,000 men wero made idle. LATER NEWS. The Presbyterian Assembly at Saratoga, N. Y., adopted a report recommending that the General Assembly assume direct control of all theological seminaries in the Church. The loss at Williamsport and Lycoming County.

A Gang Invade the Institution and Begin to Shoot ot Once They Vft a Lot of Money, Kill One Citizen, Injure Several Others, Lose One ot Their Own Men, and Dash Away. At 3 p. m. a few days ago two rough-looking mon walked into the First National Bank at Longview, Texas. One had a rifle cou coaled under his coat. He haadod this note to President Clommens . Home. May 23. First National Bank, Longview This will introduce to you Charles Speek lemeyer, who wants some money and is going to havo it. B. and F. It was written in pencil legibly on the back ot a printed poster. Tho bank Presi dent thought it a subscription to some char ity, and started to ask for partl"ulars. when the stranger pointed his riile tit him aa l told him to hold up hi hands. Tho other man rushe 1 iuto the side wire door and grabbed thi cash. Tom Clemmens, cashier, and the other bank officials also were ordered to hold up their hands. The robbers hurrie lly emptiel the tills and went into the vaults, n-eurlng $2000 nnd three $10 aud nine $20 unsigned Longview bank notes, which may lead to d -toction. While this was going on two confederates wero in tho rear alley shooting at every one who appeared. They were soon being fired on by City Marshal Muckleroy .and Deputy Marshal Will Stevens. The firing ma le the robbers in the bank nervous, and they hur ried the bank officers out and told them to run. This was done to sav their lives. Bullets flew thick and fast, and the batik men hastened around the corner with several shots flying after them. George Bu.-klughani, who was shooting at the robbers in the alley, was shot and killed. While he was lying on tho ground the robbers shot at him several times. City Marshal Muckleroy, who was shooting at another robb.-r, received a ball in tho abdomen. The ball glam-vl up from some silver dollars ho had in hi- pocket, but it was partly spent. J. W. Meyueen. a saloon keeper, thinking the shots were fur a lire alarm, ran out in the alley an t w.us shot in the body and it was thought that ho was mortally wounded. Charles S. Leonard w.n walking through the Court House yard and was shot in the leg, necessitating amputation. T. C. Sum mers was shot in the left hand. Deputy Will Stevens was not hurt, though he stood in short range and killed one of the robbers. The bank officials all escaped unhurt, ex cept T. E. Clemmens, who iu the scuffle with tho robbers got his hand where the hammer of a robber's pistol eamo down, nnd wa badly hurt. The robbers who stood guard in the alley would yell at every one w!.o came In sight and shoot instantly. Tho robbers so terror ized tho community that they escaped and rode away. The body of the .lead robbe i was soon identified as George. Bennett. The dead robber was dressed like a cow boy, with high-heeled boots and spurs, an 1 a belt lull of cartridges, and two double action revolvers. Ills horse, which was aapturod, had 300 ro mds oi ammunition strapped to the saddle. Another of the rob bers, Jim Jonos, tho man who gave Provi dent Clemmens tho note, was identified by several. IIo married a respectable young woman near Beckvillo last fall, but later went to Mexico. He was well known at Longview, having worked at a mill four miles from there. It is thought Bennett has a brother in the gang ; if so, only one man romains to be identified. The robbers rode rapidly out ol town, dis playing their firearms and the money they had got. An armed posse was soon in pur suit aud when last heard of was IHteen minutes behind them. The bank offered $500 for their arrest, dead or alive, and the citizens supplemented the amount by $200 more. . - i Deputy John Howard was shot at about fifteen times, but not hurt. He emptied his pistol several times and wounded one rouber in the face. No less than 200 shots were flred. Tho robbers starte 1 out of town, go ing by tho home of George Bennett's wire and the mill where Jim Jones worked. TH0USAND3 LOST. Devastation Wrought by the Karth quake in Venezuela. The earthquake of April 28th, though vio lently shaking Caracas, tho capital of Ven ezuela, did not cause any serious damage thero. It has proved, however, to have been the severest since tho great shock of 1812. That Holy Thursday, when tho entire city was destroyed and 20,000 persons Wero killed, is ever fresh in the minds of the Caraquenians. and great sympathy is now felt for the su ffjrers In t he State of Los Andes, noar tho borders of Colombia.
