Pmsnono , Pa. , July 20. A Clironiclt
Telegraph special from Wheeling at noo ;
Bays the loss of life from the fiood is a
least twenty-five. About fifteen boilie
have been found so far. Tho financial loa
is about $150,000 dollars. Tho greatea
loss of life was along Whcelin ,
creek and at Tridolphia. Search tbi
morning resulted in the recovery of 1
number ot bodies near the latter plac
Most of them were found among the drift
which collected at Elm Grove. The bed ,

and wealthy citizen , was found near Elc
Grovo. His wife's remains were found twi
miles below Elm Grove , hanging oi

found among tho driftwood. Mrs. Jam
Fay and her two grown-up daughters wen
discoverod a short distance below Triadol
phia , and the bodies of two brothers named
Gorman were found in a meadow , when
they had been burled by the water.
MORE IN DETAIL.

destruction there was more appalling thai
anywhere else. Fifteen families are home
less and saved nothing but what they hat
on. Half the south of this village of GOI
nhabitanta was washed away , but all bu
those before named escaped to the hills
The storm extended sixteen miles east 0
West Alexandria , Fa. , and the scene is on <
of desolation. The Pittsburg division o
the Baltimore & Ohio is practically de
stroyed for fifteen miles. The Westen

Later Details.
'
Wheeling , W. Va , , Jnly 20. Tl
work of the fearful flood was but feebly
portrayed yesterday. Language cannot do
justice to the ruiu and desolation east ol
the city from Elm Grove to West Alexan
dria. The Pittsburg division of the B. &
O. railroad will have to be practically re
built from Elm Grove to the Pennsylvania
state line. Six larges bridges were washed
sway , the track lifted from the road bed
and twisted in all conceivable shapes. A
revised list of persons who perished is as
follows :
Ilerman Stenzel.
Mrs. Barbara Stenzel.
Anna Wingard.
Alice Wingard.
Mrs. Thomas Hawley and her four
children , one boy and three girls , drowned
in their house on Caldwell's ran.
John Hohman , drowned while attempt
ing to rescue tho Stenzel family with a
raft.
raft.Mrs.
Mrs. Jane Flay and her daughters , Alice
and Belle , drowned at Triadelphia.
William Gaston , of Point Mills ; body re
covered at Elm Grove.
The impossibility of reaching tho worst
ocalitiea cannot be appreciated. Tho creek
is still dangerously swoHen. Tho fall of
water from G toG:35p. m. Thursday by
the guage at Triadelphia was 6l inches.
The B. & O. company's loss will reach
350,000 at a low estimate. The county's
loss in roads , bridges and school houses
will be at least $ G0,000 , and other losses
( rill aggregate nearly $100,000.

HE WAS FORCED TO TELL THE TRUTH

Chicago , July -Another sensation
was spruug upon the tlelVnae in the * 'Q' ;
dynamite case thh morning , wl.tn the
Identity of John Wilson , 0:10 of tho prison
ers , who was supposed to havo b. 'en a con
spirator and Brotherhood engineer , was
made known. It comes out that ho is a
Pinkerton detective named Mulligan.
The expose was brought about by the
lawyers too closely pressing the cross-
examination of Superintendent McGinn , 01
the Pinkerton agency , who wan on the
stand. He had the alternative ol
refusing to answer pertinent ques
tions concerning Wilson , or causing
the latter to show up in his true
colors. McGinn chose the lattor , Wilson 01
Mulligan obeyed a signal and quickly
sprang across the room to tho side of the
prosecution. When tho commotion sub
sided , Superintendent McGinn related the
circumstance ot ' Broderick , one of the con
spirators , ihrowing a mysterious letter out
of tho car window at the time of the arrest ,
and the subsequent recovery of tho lotter.
The motive of Broderii-k in ridding himsell
of the missive is not apparent , ag the lettci
is entirely non-committal.
Bowles , the "squealer , " was the next
witness. He began by telling of tho wecret
meeting of the Brotherhojd in Aurora , lie
said : "Chief Banreisen made a utatement
that we should do something ; that the com
pany was getting ahead of us ; haid it
would not do for him to do anything in re
gard to the use of dynamite , but it could
be used with good effect. After the meet
ing was over I made a statement to him
that I knew how to use dynamite ; had
seen it used in gravel pita. He wanted to
know if I could get any of it , and I told
him I thought I could. He gave me § 7.50
and told me to get it. That was two weeks
after 1 was initiated. Godiug , one of th *
defendants , was among those at the meet
ing.The
The informer told of his expeditions to
Indiana to purchase dynamite , and how
Baureisen had sent him with it to George
Clarke , of Galesburg , a leading engineer ,
who was arrested yesterday. They went
out together to place it on the track , and
it was some of this dj uamite that Bow es
buried , and which was dug up yesterday.
• 'Bauieisen told me , " continued the
witness , "that in a certain park of A.uroia
there was frame home , and under it was a
sewer across the street. The house was a
"scab" boarding house. Baureisen wanted
Aleck Smith and myself to get under the
houso by this sewer and place a bomb
there and blow up the home. I told him
that would be murder and wouldn't do it. "
• Witness further implicated George Clark
by telling of a letter from Baureisen in
which the latter said Clark wanted some of
the "goods" ( dynamite ) , and for him
( Bowles ) to hurry up and give Clark some.
Witness thereupon bought two pounds of
dynamite and gave it to Clark. He re
ceived another letter from Baureisen
telling him to hurry up with the
"goods" to Creaton , la. , where they
were needed. He then went to Creston
and delivered four pounds of dynamite to
Broderick. Witness then presented a
letter addressed to him on June 27th ,
sitmed J. A. B. Tho letter informs him
that he is being watched , not to do any
thing suspicious , and if he thought beat to
go homo and look for a situation some
where and give up the jobbing business.
Bowles could not swear the letter was in
Bauieieen's handwriting , but from
The fact that they had corresponded about
the matter mentioned ho was satisfied of its
authenticity. Ho also explained the con
tents of a letter received from Baureisen at
Nbbleville , Ind. , enclosing money and in
structions to take plenty of • • goods ' ' to
Creston. By "goods" ho said dynamite
svas meant.
Under cross-examination Bowles admit
ted that he had told the attorneys for the
lefenso while in jail that he was innocent ;
that he knew nothing of the use of dyna
mite and that he had lied repeatedly a-i to
[ lis innocence and other matters. When
the cross-examination was concluded Mr.
Ewing arose and said the state would rest
it this point. The court then adjourned.
Tho Gricrance Committees.
Chicago , July 18. Over 150 chairmen
) f engineers' and firemen's grievance com-
nitteos met here to-day. In ansner to a
ju saon one of the members said : "Weare
liscussing the Burlington strike in all its
ihases , and shall reach some conclusion bo-
bre we adjourn. "
It is known that during tho first session
) f the meeting resolutions wore adopted
sxpressing "condemnation of tho lawless
icts and destruction ot property , " and add-
ng a determination "that the exercise of
; he power of thia organization will be used
; o protect tho innocent. "
TO BE GIVEN A SPEEDY TRIAL.
r/ie Arrcsleil Anarchist Trio io be Brought
at Once Into Court.
Chicago. HI. , July 18. The course to
) e pursued in prosecuting the would-be as-
assins of Grinnell , Gary and Bonfield was
lecided upon this morning. It was semi-
iflicially announced that the anarchist trio
vould be taken about noon before a justice
md the cases continued for ten days. That
vould give an opportunity of presenting
ho murderous conspiracy with tho least
lossible delay to the grand jury , which as-
emblea Monday. A speedy indictment
md trial is hoDed for. The object is to
mike the lesson of juitico so ktrikingly
[ iiick , if possible , as to make its influence
lonbly effective.
The prisoners were brought into court ,

u-spector Bontield wero held over. Their
loads nere tixod at $5,000 apiece
Cbspek and Hronek wtia taken down

ioaed of a lot of it in tho river , but was not
ble to get rid of all of it. The prisoner
lso said there was no conspiracy. Chapek ,
nother of the prisoners , said he knew of no
onspiracy , and thought there was nono.
ie thought it would all turn out to be a

The total loss will reach $275,000 , upon

ILLtNOISANS GO OVER INTO INDIANA.
Ttie Ottfect Jtelng to 1'ay Their Itespccta tc
Ocn > Harrison.
Indianapolis , July 19 This was Illinoh
day with General Harrison. Delegations
from Springfield , Monticello , Decatur and
Jacksonville arrived at noon. Tho veter
ans of Black Eagle and Lincoln clubs , ol
of Springfield , numbered 301. Thoy carried
in an elevated cage a largo black eaglo.
Altogether there were about 800 visitora
from Illinois , among whom were Secretary
of State Dement , Attorney Genera ' / Hunt ,
Major J.A. Connelly and Hon. D. T.Littler.
They called on General Harrison at 3
o'clock at the now Denison hotel. Attor
ney General K\nt acted as spokesman , and
congratulated General Harrison in an ele
gant speech. General Harrison replied as
follows :
I thank you for this cordial ex pression of
your interest in republican success. I re
joice to know that Indiana nd Illinois
have been neighborly in tho high
sentiments and purposes which havo char
acterized their people. I rejoice to know
that the same high spirit of loyalty and
devotion which characterized the state of
Illinois when the nation made its appeal to
the brave men of all the state * to rescue its
flag and its constitution from the insurrec
tion which had been raised against them
was equally characteristic of Indiana ; that
the fiamo great impulse swept over your
state swept over ours ; that Richard Yates ,
of Illinois , and Oliver P. Mor
ton , of Indiana , stood toother in
the fullest sympathy and co-operation
in the great plan they devised to augment
and reinforce the union armies in the field
and put down treasonable conspiracies at
home. I recall that it was ou the soil of
Illinois that Lovejoy died , a maityr to free
speech. He was the forerunner of Abra
ham Lincoln. Ho died , but hie protest
against human slavery lived. Another
gieat epoch in the march of liberty was
formed on the soil of IllinoS. I refer
to that high debate in the
presence of your people in which
Douglas won the senatorship and
Lincoln the presidency and immortal
fame. But Lincoln's argument and pro-
claimatiou must bo made good on the bat
tlefield , and nuaiu your state was conspicu
ous. You gave us Grant and" Loan and a
multitude of less notable , but not lees
faithful soldiers , who , under them , wrote
tha proclamation with their sword" . I
rongiatulate you to-day that there has
come out of th' s early agitat'on ; out
Df the work of Lovejoy , tho disturber ; out
of the great debate of lKJS , and out of tlie
wp.r , a nation without a slave ; that not the
shackles of slavery only have been broken ,
but the scarcely less cruel shackles of preju
dice which bound every black man in tho
north , have also been unbound. We are
[ dad to know that the enlightened senti
ment of the south to-day unites with ua in
our concratulationb that slavery has been
iboliBhed. Thoy have come to realize , and
many of their best and greatest men
lublicly to express the thought , that
the abolitio 1 of slavery has opened tho
rateway of progress and material develop
ment to the south that was forever clocod
iirainst her people while slavery existed.
Wo would lay upon their people no burdens
ihat we do not willingly bear ourselves. A
nanly assertion by each of his inelividual
'ghts , and a manly concessi on of equal
• ights to every other man , is the boast and
awsofgood citizenship. "
