and Grave Danger Seen.
Pittsburg, Pa.— With a continued
heavy rainfall in Northern and West
ern Pennsylvania, the flood situation
Is growing serious and heavy property
damage has already resulted. Oil City,
Bradford, Warren, Titusville, Green
ville, Newcastle, Sharon and the low
lands of thlB city and vicinity are
battling with flood water.
Many points are without electric
light, water, transportation lines and
gas. A score of bridges throughout
the state were swept away.
The situation at Oil City, Pa., is
grave. The dam at Spartansburg has
let go, sending a great wall of water
toward Oil City. The Allegheny River
at Oil City has reached 16 feet and is
rising a foot an hour. Oil Creek is
out of its banks, and a large portion
of the city is under water.
All small streams around Bradford
are out of their banks. Sections of
the city are under water and hundreds
of families homeless.
At Greenville, Pa., more than 500
persons are homeless.
At Sharon, Pa., the town is under
water and a dozen or more bridges are
wrecked. The loss of the United States
Steel Corporation at Farrell, a suburb,
is estimated at $200,000. A report
reached Sharon that a wreck train

went down with a bridge near Mead

of Good Highways.
Heppner— About fifty of Heppner's
business men sat down to a sump
tuous dinner at the Palace Hotel re
cently. The object of the gathering
was to discuss good roads in general
and the improvement of the road to
Spray and the extension of the Willow
Creek road to Ritter In particular.
The two roads mentioned will bring
considerable additional business to
Heppner.
T. J. Mahoney acted as toastmaster.
John Scott Mills, of the publicity de
partment of the O.-W. R. & N. Com
pany, and J. R. Stein, of the freight de
partment of the same company, were
present. Mr. Mills dellevered an inter
esting and Instructive address upon the
good roads question. This was followed
by talks by several of the leading
business men of the city.
Commit
tees were appointed to work out def
inite plans for the improvement and
construction of the roads under con
sideration.
W. D. Newlon, who has been drilling
a number of wells in the light land
district in the northern part of the
county, made a proposition to drill for
artesian water In that part of the
county, provided a bonus of $20,000 be
raised, the same to be paid in the

The offer
aroused considerable Interest, and a
committee was appointed to see what
can be done with the proposition.
could arrest him. I bought the dial
mond from his agent In Paris.’
“ ‘You Interest me deeply, Mr. Tau
bery,' struck In Sir Andrew, speaking
very softly, though we could all see he
was in a devil of a rage. ‘Even I was
not unaware of the existence of the
Pavaloff diamond. If my memory does
not fall me, it is slightly disfigured by
a flaw on the eighth facet?*
“ ‘Certainly, Sir Andrew,’ said our
host; 'if you examine the stone you
will see that such is the case.’
“ There is no such blemish on the
diamond I have before me. Therefore
I humbly suggest that you have been
deceived by this Parisian agent as to
its origin.'
"Professor Endicott climbed to his
feet with a grunt of dissatisfaction,
and leant over the table, thrusting out
his podgy fist to receive the jewel. He
remained standing, with his body
swayed forward, so that the electric
lights above the silver center piece
might Bhlne the brighter upon what be
held. Presently he dropped his bands
to his sides and stood staring about
him like a plowman lost in Piccadilly.
“ Th is is not the stone I examined
five minutes ago,' he stuttered.
" 'Nonsense,' said old Julius, with a
shadow of fear in his eyes. ‘Nonsense,
Endicott;,look again.’
" ‘Can it be that two such famous
experts have made a mistake?' sneered
Sir Andrew. 'Can it be that a humble
amateur like myself is right and that
they are wrong? As I told you, gen
tlemen, the Hyderapore diamond— ’
" ‘Hyderapore diamond be d— d !’
squealed the fat man. This thing is a
fake, a clumsy imitation. Taubery,
you have been robbed!’
“ We were all on our feet In an in
stant amid a clamor of tongues. But
there was one man amongst us that
kept his head; one man who realized
that his honor was in peril; that im
mediate action was necessary. His
name— if I am not too egotistical—Is
Theophilus Gunton.
"Fortunately I have a voice of some
power, and a manner that, when my
feelings are strongly moved, is per
haps not unimpressive. I commanded
and obtained silence. I begged them
to resume their seats; they obeyed.
" ‘Julius Taubery,’ I said, 'has your
diamond disappeared?’
“ He answered that it had, looking at
the imitation stone, which they had re
turned to him, in a silly, scared way.
" ‘Julius Taubery,’ I continued, ’we,
your guests, lie under a stigma, an im
putation. W e cannot leave the house
under such circumstances. Some one
must have brought the imitation stone
with him for a purpose that it is need
less to define. The real jewel must
be in his pocket at this moment. Let
us, therefore, be searched.’
“ They all sat silent as mice under
my eye, save the professor, who grunt
ed as if In dissent
“ 'Do I understand that you object
to my plan, sir?’ I asked him. ’Do
you refuse to be searched? And If so,
may I ask why?’
“ He gave me an angry look, but he
had not the courage to contest the
point.
" 'Then, I may take it that we are
all agreed. Taubery, you have a li
brary upon this floor. As I passed the
door before lunch I noticed that there
was an excellent fire there. Professor
Endicott and myself will retire to that
room. I will search the professor; the
professor shall search me. After that
the rest of the guests will come, one
by one, into the room, where we will
search them in turn. Let us have no
delay. Professor Endicott, I am very
much at your service.’
"I went through that party, gentle
men, as our Transatlantic cousins
would express it, with a fine-tooth
comb. And I feel it my duty to say
that not one of them raised the small
est objection to the severity of my
methods. They were like lambs, gen
tlemen, they were, by thunder! But
I obtained no result. The Taubery dia
mond had disappeared.
“ Poor old Julius was quite broken
down about it. He placed the whole
matter in my hands. On my way to
Scotland Yard I remembered what an
old friend of mine had told me about
you. ’If you are ever in a hole, Gun
ton,’ he said, 'get Addington Peace—
he is the man.’ You were off duty. I
inquired your address; I am here. And
now, what are you going to do?”
"Can you remember who it was
that introduced the subject of precious
stones at your luncheon party?" asked
Inspector Peace.
" 'Pon my life I don’t know,” said
the colonel, polishing his eye-glass
with a red silk pocket handkerchief.
“ It was one of the fellows at the other
end of the table, but I can’t say which
of them.”
