HALF A MILLION DOLLARS LOSS
Five Men Struck by Lightening Near
Leadvllle -Destructive Cloud
burst at Cheyeune.
Pittsburg, July 17. A heavy storm
tonight, which was practically a oloud
burst, did great damage throughout
this city and Allegheny. Estimates
made from reports coming in from oat
lying portions indicate a loss of nearly
$500,000. All street car lines have
been stopped. A part of Allegheny
cemetery was washed away. Tons ot
earth and stone have been washed onto
the Fifth-Avenue and Duquesne Trac
tion Company's line at Sobo. Tbe
sewers in Buother run and- Woods
run, in Allegheny, are reported as hav
ing given way, flooding those sections.
No loss of life as yet has been re
ported. At Forty-eighth street, Lawrenoe
ville, probably the most destruction
was worught Every house on the
north side of Butler street from Forty
eighth street east was flooded, many
being entirely ruined. The immediate
oause of tbe tronble at this point was
tbe giving way of the Allegheny ceme
tery stone wall, wbioh abuts the Btreet.
When tbe wall gave way the flood
rushed down to the houBes below, filling
tbem to a depth of four foet on the
first floor. Tbe loss at this point will
be many thousands of dollars. The
Citizens' Traction line for nearly two
miles wag under water for a long time,
and much ot it ia ruined.

flooded from one end to tbe other, un
dermining the new street railway, ren
dering it an almost total loss. Several
miles of the Sawmill run plank road is
destroyed, the planks being carried
away and the roadbed ruined. The
soap faotory of George Harley & Son,
on Madison avenue, has three feet of
gravel on the floor, and $6,000 worth
of soap was destroyed. The house of
John Mueller, on Spring hill, near
Royal street, was washed down the hill
with three children. All were rescued,
however, by the brave work ot neigh
bors. Cloudburst at Cheyenne.
Cheyenne, July 17. About 2:30 this
afternoon, rains began falling, and
within five minutes a torrent of water
oame down. It was evidently a cloud
burst, and in a very little time after
the storm burst, tbe streets were run
ning full of water. Tbe cellars in
town were all flooded, and the damage
will reaob many thousands of dollars.
Struck by Lightning.
Lead ville, Colo., July 17. During a
terrible thunder storm in the mountains
west of the oity, today, five men were
struok by lightning, and all are now
in the hospital here, three probably
fatally injured. The men composed a

railroad, and were working near Tbom
asville, thirty miles from Leadville.
Heavy rain drove them to shelter, whioh
two of them found nnder a large rook
near the track, the other three getting
nnder a giant pine. Soon there oame a
blinding flash, and the great tree was
riven to splinters. ' The three under it
were strioken as with death, while the
two under tbe rook near b were
shocked and stunned, but Boon recov
ered consciousness, and were able to
summon assistance. They found three
blaokened trunks, from whioh all oloth
ing had been torn, but there were signs
of life. .
VARIETY ACTRESS' SUICIDE.
Discouraged Because She Had No Money
to Send Her Children.
Spokane, July 17. Grace Wilton,
a variety aotress, playing at the Com
ique theater, was found dead in ber
room today. She had oommitted aui
oide by swallowing an ounce of car
bolio acid. She is said to have been
the daughter of a well-known business
man in San Francisco. For several
years she was a dramatio aotress play
ing in San Francisco, under tbe name
uf Jeanette Rivers. About two years
ago she drifted into the vaudeville busi
ness. Letters found in ber trunk indicate
tbat Miss Wilton had two daughters
living in San Francisco Blanohe and
Maude, aged 12 and 8 years respective
lv who were attending school there.
Two letters, dated June 19, from these
children to their mother, were couched
in the most endearing terms. Tbey
prayed that she might Boon return
borne. A letter addresssed to Miss Wil
ton, wbioh arrived this morning, was
opened by Judge Hinkle, who found it
to be from ber sister, Annie, in San
Francisco. It is a request for money to
pay a $45 board bill against tbe two
children. Tbe writer adds that if it is
not forthcoming at once, tbey will have
to move out onto the street The writer
further expresses surprise tbat the de
ceased bad not written a word nor sent
them a cent since coming to Spokane.
It is thought that poverty caused
ber to bave a sodden impulse to end it
all in aeatb. Twenty-five cents was
all the money found on her person.

ported that Miss Addie Tillman, the

CAPTAIN TAYLOR'S REPORT
Cn River and n arbor Work In the Pa
cific Northwest.
Washington, July 20. The report of
Captuin Harry Taylor, of the engineer
oorps, who has oharge of the river and
harbor work in the Northwest, has been
made to the secretary ot war.
The work on Willapa river and har
bor, in Washington, has been com
pleted and twenty-one feet of water sc
oured, but some shoals need to be
dredged yet No further appropriations
will be be required.
For the improvement of Grays harbor
and bar, a plan for a jetty SJ4 miles to
the sea on the south side of the harbor,
to seoure a low-water depth of 24 feet,
has been decided upon, and contracts
will be let for the work. It 1b recom
mended tbat the full amount permitted
by law $400,000 be appropriated for
tbe next fisoal year.
In Gray's harbor and Chehalis river,
to carry the dredging to a depth of six
teen feet will largely exceed tbe esti
mate of oost
The extei sion of the Northern Paolfio
railway to the lower-harbor towns is
said to have lessened tbe impor
tance of the river as a highway, so
that no coasting vessels have navigated
it above Cosmopolis since 1892, and it
is recommended that the plan for dredg
ing a channel through tho shoals to
give coasting vessels aocess to Monte
sano be reoonsidered.
The importance of greater facilities
for keepng the rivers flowing into
Puget sound free from obstruction is
urged. In connecting Puget sound
with Lakes Union and Washington,
the Smith's cove route is favored, and
the engineer urges tbat preliminary
work be done before right of way is
secured, and says that $500,000 can be
profitably expended during tbe year.
The earnestness of the people of
Everett for pushing tbe work ot their
harbor is oommended, and $15,000 is
recommended to be expended during
tbe fiscal year ending June 80, 1898.
The opening of Swinomish slough at
tbe earliest possilbe date is urged.
It is reported that tbe expense of car
rying out tbe projeot for removing
boulders, eto., from the Upper Colum
bia and Snake rivers is bo great that it
should not be begun with tbe present
appropriation.
A POPULIST PLATFORM.

Eaoh dollar shall be interchangeable
with, but not redeemable in the other,
and shall be denominated respectively
gold, silver or paper money all' na
tional debts being payable in either, at
the option of the government
"As the United 8tates is a free and
powerful nation and the finanoial and
industrial liberty of its citizens should
be independent of the aotlon ot any
other government, we demand the free
and unlimited ooinage of gold and sil
ver by the United States at the present
ratio of 16 to 1, without referenoe to
tbe oourse of any foreign nation.
"We demand that all national banks
be abolished, and in lien of them that
tbe government establish a postal bank
in eaoh oity, town and village of the
United States containing a population
of 1,000 or more."
The platform also declares for the
reoognition of Cnba and against tbe re
funding of tbe Pacific, railroad debts.
