of the eating stands, the daaclnf pa

1 and warned them to run to the hills.
1 ,A half hour after the buildings had
1 been cleared of the people the waters
V mounted the wall of the dam, and
within five minutes water 7 feei deep
iwas flowing over the entire length of
400 feet of the wall. The rain con
; tlnued In torrents, and at about 4
o'clock 40 feet of the wall of the dam.
I to tie east gave way. The flood
I rushed down Uie ravine wlih a roar
r that was heard for 2 miles. A half
I "mi's down, at the junction of the
Greensburg and Jeanette, the park car J
barns are located
Car Washed Into Creek.
The entrance gates to the park
were lifted and, with the force of a
pile driver, the mammoth posts were
hurled by the waters against the be
; sin. Beyond were located the small
waiting room and on the track was
standing a car laden with people oa
their way from Greensburg land Jean
nette. The electric stornl had ren
dered the power south of here useless
and the motorman was unable to more
the car. The flood struck the watting
; room containing probably 12 people.
A number of them stuggled to a point
of safety, but in the exictement that
feIlowed .lt Is impossible to say how
. many were lost. .
- At least 800 persona were et the
' park seeking relief from the heal
. When the storm burst the greater nnnv
ber sought the hillside, preferring the
- shelter of the forest trees to the park
- bulMlhgs because they did not care to
be below the level of the dam and but
little above the level of Brush creek.
. When the dam broke a solid wall of
. water 20 feet high rushed down and
.: completely filled the narrow ravine
1-wita its car tracks, car barn and re
. taurant. In front of the car barn
stood a car containing from 50 to 70
passengers, many of them seeking to
return to Jeannette, others using it
as a temporary shelter.
Many Persons Electrocuted.
With the Immense body of water
behind it the crest of the flood bore
down with irresistible force. It swept
down the narrow ravine. It carried
with it In Its embrace tho loaded car
and the crowded restaurant. The
flood was filled with men, women and
children struggling for their, lives. Ths
: poles earring the heavily charged trol
, ' ley wires were uprooted and strewn
along the grounds. In a number ol
instances 'how : many it is not yet
known the victims of the flood, grasp
. Ing for everything that might save
- them from the fury of the water, selz-
ed the trolley wires and met death ty
being electrocuted instead of being
, drowned. Several bodies have already
; been recovered, showing that death
1 was the result from this cause.
Dr. Freshwater, of a rescuing party,
stated this morning that they had res
1 cued fully 150 persons who had been
. thrown into the streams by their
j houses being overturned. Almost ti
getber with the wreck of Oak Fcrd
park, the Fort Pitt dam about hall
.,-'a mile north of this phvee, gave , way
carrying-wtde destruction along the
valley, of Bull creek which empties in-
- to Brush creek in the lower part ol
Jeannette. - The Pitt dam served to
enpply the Fort Pitt Glass works at
that point. '
To add to the alarm caused by the
disaster in Oakford park, It was re

farm to UenUeraon county Wa8 "
yesterday noon at the front door of 1
court bouse here by Ueceiver W w
Jones. A considerable number of j&
fccrryvru pvrwus were present ,v
Mddlng, was spirited. The bid ri
went quickly to 113,00.) aiMj f rom
it'was carried up by J. R. R0htit. J
Mr. S. H. Phelan of Atlanta, it 17
knockedoff to the J. B. Bostic comMDV
at 115,000.' .
The purchaser was aked if be bouoh.
the property for himself. ''"Well .b.m
Mr. Bostic, With a smile, '"'farmin? a
pretty bard sad I shouldn't' fann
ploughing a day like tUturdny."
The price bfd is attributable to fh
Citizen. Mr. Phelan, who f the .South-
era repreaeatati?e of Baxter & Co.,
never heard of the farm until he we
to Hmderson?nie to visit his brother.
In-law, Jesse D. Beale, and there he
saw the advertisement in The Cither
He concluded that a property, whinv,
was liberally advertised in a paper like
The Citizen must be a good one eo be
came here and bid as high as i 14,5 for
It simply oo this advertisement.' Mr.
Phelan said he jwas satisfied he ?caued
the property to bring 93,000 more tbao
it would otherwise have brought, aod
Bays that The Citizen's advertieioQt
wa worth that much to Reiver
Jones. " . ,:'
The sale vindicates Keceiver Joq
action in refusing to accept the Urstbid
of 9,500 which was made at the sale
held in Hiendersonville February 2nd,
by R. R. Deaver, or the second bid of
$10,000 by Harkins and Morgan on .May
22nd here, uoi.vones insisted that he
would get 015,000 and by liberal adyer
tising did so,and ha added by hii in
terest and persistent endeavors 15,500
to the bank's assets. ;
The farm contains 620 acres of land,
390 of which are bottom land. It it
said to be one of the finest faring io tht
state. Dr. S. J. Woodcock who; saw it
a few days ago says it Is the prsttieft
land.be ever saw. Part of it is mouo
tain land, with timber. The property
was auctioned by W. H. Medd Citizeo
