Cities are inundated, and people have fled 9 business portion ed. To add to the horror, several refineries were struck by lightning, and property not destroyed by water is being consumed by fire. At 3 o’clock this afternoon half the city of Titusville is reported in flames and at the Oil City it is feared the entire town is doomed to destruction. The loss of life is large, but the reports are conflicting. One despatch says 50 persons were drowned at Titusville and a large number burned to death. At Oil City eleven persmis are reported burned. Telegraphic Communication is badly inter~ rupted. The Western Union wires are down and for a time Oil City was complete- ly cut off. At Titusville four of the largest refiner- ies are on fire, and a stretch of at least onelialf mile in length is now burning up. how many more are lost. all over town. In the afternoon were looking for their lost children. of lives that have been lost. been rendered homeless. THE rLoon 1N GENEhAL. The flood appears to have been general throughout northern Pennsylvania. A telegram from Meadrille says the damage there cannot be now estimated. The gorge which formed in a deep ravine north of the town, forming a lake three acres in area and 20 feet deep broke and swept half the city. The New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio railway east of Meadville is damaged beyond estimate. N 0 deaths are reported. but in the loss of property the result is frightful. THE LOSS AT TITUSVILLE. At 4.30 o'clock this afternoon a tele- gram was received from Titusville, placing the loss of life at 150 in that town. The water came up suddenly from Oil Creek and flooded the whole flat as far as Spring street, forming a like nearly half a mile in length. A short time after the Acme Oil Refinery was struck by lightning and fire added terror to the scene. The flames spread with rapidity and soon the fine blocks from Perry to Drake streets, in- cluding Washington, Franklin and Male streets, and from the Western New Iork and Pennsylvania R.R. to Spring street were laid waste. A half dozen of the largest oil refineries, among them Rice 63 Robinson’s, Schwartz’s and the Acme were burned. The only buildings said to be now standing in the district mentioned are the Titusville iron works and the depot of the W. N. Y. and P. R. R. The water began to recede about noon and is now going down rapidly. A large num- ber of bodies have been recovered and the work is still going on. TWO Huxnnnn LIVES Losr. A despatch from Oil City says the loss of life there will probably reach 200. Emlenton, another oil town between Oil City and Titusville, is also reported to have suffered greatly from the flood. OIL CITY, Pa, June 5.â€"Never before in the history of Oil City and the oil coun- try has there been such disaster, excite- ment and tumoil as this city is now witnessig. At 11.45 o’clock this morning the city and country for miles around was startled by two explosions occurring al- most simultaneously. Oil Creek was a raging torrent, and in Centre street a crowd of people stood watching the muddy water roll by. Oil was porceptibly float- ing on the wster, and several gentlemen were discussing the danger should the. oil catch fire. Hardly were the words uttered when, about 200 yards up the stream, a mass of flame was seen to shoot heaven- ward. “Run l” yelled a hundred voices. and the people TURNED LIKE STAMPEDED CATTLE. and started for the hills. Hardly had they started when a terrible explosion rent the air, and the entire creek, and for hundreds of feet on each side, seemed one mass of flame and smoke. The panic- striken crowd shrieked madly in their efforts to escape. \Vomen and children were trampled under foot, and about 26 were severely bruised, and had to be picked up by a few of the cooler heads and carried out of harm’s way. About half a mile northward from the post~oflice on the Western New York and Pennsyl- vania railroad a tank filled with gasoline was standing on a siding. Some young men noticed that the tank was leaking, and seeing a shifting engine approach, ran up the hill, where they turned, and look- ing down as the engine passed witnessed a fearful sight. A mass of flame shot a hundred feet into the air, and the earth seemed to shake with an awful tremor. The engineer and fireman were seen for miles around is still tanks. TOWN COUNCIL. .â€" The regular meeting of the town coun- cil was held on Monday evening. Present Mayor Ray, Reeve Kylie, Depy.-Reeves Winters and Crandell, and Councillors Head, Fee, Lack.

Of course he is as ardent :1 Con- servative in Britain as he was in Canada, and speaks highly of Lord Salisbury’s as a statesman. He believes that the British Premier’s semi-advocacy of pro- tection will not hurt him in the coming struggle. “ The majority of English workingmen,‘ said he. ‘are for protection. They do not think that the competition of American manufacturers injures their interest so much as that of Europeans. Lord Salisbury did not declare for protec~ ion for the sake of protection but with a view to forcing reciprocity. British free traders will of course denounce his utter- ances, and no human being can tell exact- ly what effect they will have on the ap- proaching contest.” “ Have your views on the Home Rule question changed ?” “ No. they have not. I am always against separation. Of course Home Rule meins one thing to one man and another thing to another. I believe the present administration will give Local Govern~ . ment to Ireland as rapidly as it is judic- ions to do so. But repeal of the Union is as remote as ever, and I believe that: if it. should ever come it would soon lead again to another Union Act. It is true that the Gladstonians deny all sympathy with a policy of entire separation of Britain and Ireland. So do the Irish Home Rulers, but I know that they look forward to an independent Ireland, having no connec- tion with the British Empire.” " What about Imperial Federation 'l” " I do not understand it,” said his Lord- ship. Then he continued with grave humor :â€"-“Perhaps I am stupid, but to me the scheme is incomprehensible. I cannot see how it will work. I have been in the habit of seeing Sir Charles Tupper very frequently, but I did not cooperate with him in this movement.” As to immigration to the North-West, he thinks there will be a fair increase, “but there is not,” he says, “so much de- sire to leave Great Britain now as there climates is not known at what moment any of the immense oil tanks above here will burst Calamity in Pennsylvania. and send their burning contents down PI 1 Y J ~ , . upon them.

It seems that Lord Mountstephen’s time, when he is not sitting in the House of himself on his lordly estate in Scotland, is devoted to looking after the interests of the Canadian Pacific imprisonment; about 50, and as many were carried home at ohce it is impossible at this hour to get the exact number.

T., J une 4.â€"Albert Rennie United States Commissioner of this City, who for a time was stationed at Wowoko, the capital of the Seminole nation, relates a story of horible execution there. It is the custom to execute men convicted of capital crimes, by shooting. The exe- cutioners in the case referred to were two members of the National Light Horse de- tailed for the purpose. The victim was led to the rock upon which these judicial killings take place. The executioners were very drunk and their shots only wounded the human target. They left the ground at once, and a negro took the rough box coflin to the wounded man, who protested against being buried alive as vigorously as his strenght would permit. Three negroes finally succeeded in putting the man in the box, and an effort was made to nail the lid down, but the victim pushed and kicked against it so that the task was only accomplished by two of the negroes sitting on the lid while the other drove the nails with the utmost nonchal- ance. The interment was then made. A Terrible Cyclone. OMAHA, Neh, June 5. â€"McCook, N eb., was visited yesterday by a terrible cyclone As the huge funnel-shaped cloud passed over the Burlington and Missouri shops and roundhouse it seemed to suddenly drop to the ground, first striking the busi- ness building owned by W. H. Cole, and with awful power raised the metal roof clear off the two parts in the rear, and whirling it around brought it down with terrible force in almost its former position upon the heads of the cigar-makers who were it work there. All escaped except one, who was severely injured. The storm centre seemed to raise up in the air and again drop to the ground about three blocks away. In a moment the air was filled with flyingr debris, and the cry was raised that the Congregational church was in ruins and that hundreds of children buried in the ruins. The children of the city were rehearsing for the children’s day at the Congregational church. and that edifice was packed to its utmost capacity with the little folks. With willing hands the fallen timbers were raised from the ruins and soon all were released from their The list of the injured is RHE UMATIS-M 6 HIGINBOTHJMS- To an Clarke en’s” arm" RE. niCL'RE, ghis 5“” 'L’RE, is wagon . medicine.
