JEANNETTE, Pa., July . It Is now es
timated that the loss ot life through yes
terday's cloudburst and flood at Oakford
Park will reach seventy-five.
Nineteen bodies have been recovered.
Many are foreigners and have not been
Identified.
Dawn broke today on a scene of devasta
tion and ruin along the Brush Creek valley.
From the sight of the break of the dam
at Oakford Park to Wllmerdlng, taking in
the towns of Jeannette, Penn, Larimer, j
Greensburg, Irwin, Burrell and Mansor, the
awful power of the rushing waters, follow
ing the breaking of the dam, is apparent on
all sides.
Damage to Property.
The damage to property will not be
less than $700,000, while the number of lives
suddenly blotted out Is still uncertain, the
estimates running all tho way from fifty to
150.
Almost with the first streak of daylight
a bureau was opened here where the names
of the Identified dead recovered and the
missing were registered, .together with a
description of the bodies recovered but not
Identified.
A revised list of the dead and missing, so
far a. known Is as follows, but it may be

People In State of Panic.
The people are still too excited to talk of
the flood and It Is with difficulty al complete
death and injured list can be compiled. All
the residents claim that more bodies went
down In the flood, but the rumors are so
numerous that they cannot all be Investi
gated. Several persons are reported as missing
from their homes along the stream and
many anxious parents, almost frantic with
fear, traversed the streets all night search
ing for their lost children.
Stories of thrilling rescues are heard on
all side, and many acts of bravery are re
ported, the heroes being persons who risked
their lives to save others.
One man, whose name could not be
learned, was seen by several persons to
make a hard effort to rescue a woman,
presumably his wife, shortly after the flood
hit the waiting room. The man was In ap
parently a safe position among some sap
lings. In his struggles to get to the woman
he lost his hold and both were swept away
with the torrent and probably lost.
Rescnlnar Party Ora-aalsed.
A rescuing party was organised by Dr.
M. F. Freshwater and K. Joseph Hoft
man immediately after the wall of water
had passed. Dr. Freshwater stated this
morning that they had rescued fully 150
persons who had been thrown Into the
stream, by their houses being overturned.
Many house, were seen by them floating
down the stream upside down, sideways
and ln every possible manner.
Mrs. Schrader, one of the victims, was
asleep in her home at the time the flood
started. When Mrs. Schrader awoke she
tried to get out of her home. As she
opened the front door In view of the score
of people who were watching, . the water
rushed In and the Imprisoned woman, old
a. she was, saw her peril and rushed to
the second floor of the house. Then her
house was swept from the foundation and
taken down with the swirling current
When the house was floating In mid
stream persons who were watching the
floating residence suddenly saw the shingles
of the roof fly off. With a plec. of
board the frenrled woman was trying to
get out on top of the roof ln the hope
of saving herself.
Her strength failed, however, and
with uplifted hands Mrs. Schrader
floated out in the stream, when, despite
all efforts nt rescue. It went down with the
other debris,
Midway between the Pennsylvania rail
way station and the Pennsylvania culvert
along the Brush creek bank stood the
house of Frederick Dleckmnn. a two-story
frame structure. The family baralv es
caped to the second story and finally to
the garret. Here they tried to save some
of the people who floated by them, but
all their efforts went to naught.
Fortunately this house withheld the
force of the current and all the members
of the household were saved.
Lying down In the debris at the Penn
aylvanla culvert )s the body of' James
Westwood. 33 years old, a bartender who
worked at the Weunle hotel, Jeannette,
When the water noodea the cellar of
the Westwood house, the husband and
fater went Into the yard and ha. not
been seen since. The body of George
Wlghtman, who was killed by lightning
was today fished out of the water by his
companions.

Streets.
ST. LOUIS, June e.-WIIIIam Rudolph of
Union, Mo., escaped from tne city Jail late
this afternoon and is stTtl at large.
Rudolph and his partner, George Collins,
were captured after a long chase following
the Union bank robbery, at Hartford,
Conn., and were brought to St. Louis and
placed In Jail for safekeeping pending their
trial.
Rudolph and Collin, were never allowed
to enter the exercise corridor together and
were confined In separate cells. A few days
ago guards discovered that some Steel saws
hud bn smuggled to the prisoners nnd
hnvo rlnce maintained the closest scrutiny.
Shortly before his escape today Rudolph
was let out of his cell to be shaved. The
exercise corridor at the itme contained
about twenty prlao'iers. The guards were
locking up the prisoner, for the night when.
as Rudolph passed through the east end of
the exercise corridor, a fight broke out In
the west end. The majority of the guards
ran to separate the fighting prisoners and
Rudolph quickly ran up three flights of
stairs. Jumped to the top of the cells and in
a flash had swung himself, by the .Id of an
iron girder, to the skylight. The next
momcrt lie had forced the skylight open
and was out on the roof, sixty feet above
the ground.
Here he grasped an electric light wire.
slid down fifty feet, when the wire snapped,
throwing him to the ground. Regaining
his feet Instantly he ran through Sergeant
Dawson's residence to the street and wa.
gone.
Rudolph succeeded ln effecting his escape
before he was missed. Matron Mrs. WI1
helm saw a man in the threstlework near
the skylight and raised the alarm. The
man proved to be John Burke, charged
with burglary. This led to the discovery
of the condition of the skylight and Ru
dolph missing.

NEW YORK, July K. At a meeting today
of the United Board of Building Trade, at
which thirty-seven unions were repre
sented the employers' plan of arbitration
was repudiated and the meeting re-en

LATEST FROM POPE'S BEDSIDE.
At 7:43 a. m. a bulletin wa. Issued stating thnt the popo had taken
nourishment four times during the night. His pulse shows slight Im
provement. At 6:30 he left his bed for an armchair. It Is stated that
he will probably through the day.
Reports from the oednlde earlier In the evening were to the effect that
the pope, while still conscious, was gradually growing weaker and wns
being kept alive solely by artificial means, such as the administration of
powerful stimulants.
During the morning hours Monday the pope Inwlsted upon sitting up
and one report states that he even walked around the room, but later
In the afternoon and during the evening his vitality gradually sank. The
patient remained conscious, however, and inquired anxiously about what
reports were coming from the capitals of the world and expressed espe
cial pleasure at the news froni France.
One report current early in the evening was to the effect that rigor
mortis had set in and that the demise of the pope was a question of a
few hours at the most and possibly of minutes. The statement of Dr.
Laponnl, Issued later, appear, to contradict this, but gives absolutely
no hope of ultimate recovery or even that life may be prolonged longer
than the morning hours. It I. at this time that human vitality is always
at the lowest ebb and. ln the weakened condition of the patient It appear,
hardly likely that he can survive this period.
Telegram, of condolence and of Inquiry concerning the condition of
the patient are pouring Into the Vatican from all quarters of the globe
from all classes of people, from rulers of nations, churchmen of high
and low degree and men prominent ln civil life.

In a nonunion shop."
The barber, held a meeting yesterday af
ternoon, but' took no definite action.
Business Agent Louts V. Guyo said:
'There Is no likelihood of a general walk
out, but there may be a general lockout,
as there Is no telling how many proprietor.
may decide to follow the course of Mr.
Miller. However, we do not think they
will be many. If any. We know that ef
fort, are being made by the Business
Men's association to Induce other shops to
follow Miller's lead. Should half a dozen
leading shops become nonunion establish
ment., I am satisfied the trade they would
get would cause them all to lose money.
The Business Men's association trade may
be able to keep up one large down-town
shop, but I doubt If It could support more,
a. fully 90 per cent of the patronage come.
from union men and those ln sympathy
with labor. The barbers' union Is not a
striking organization, and pay. no strike
benefits, seeking to employ such men as
nre thrown out of, work by helping them
establish shops of their own. For this
purpose there is 190,000 In the national
treasury.
"In the Miller shop the Issue vas clear
cut. Mr. Miller had the right to' revoke
hi. agreement with the organization to
abide by it. rules, at any time. The men
walked out simply because the shop no
longer agreed to live up to union rules.
The beginning of the rgltation that caused
the lockout was through the iaundrymen,
who object to the barber nhop laundry
offices sending work to the '.aundry work
era' laundries. The men who were locked
out of the Miller shop were O. L. Salis
bury, George Rumsey, Frank Miller,
Charles Lundcen and John Brothers. The
barber, have adopted measures to protect
themselves."

ROME. July 7. 1:35 a. m. Another day
ha. dawned with Pope Leo .till alive.
Though feebler than ever and racked with
pulu, his mind I. still clear an1 he takes a
keen interest in all that is going on. When
ho awoke this morning he turned to Dr.
Laponnl and whispered a request that tha
windows be opened.
"I wish to see once mora." h. aald, "per
hapa for the last time, the ray. of the sun."
Ills sleep, Induced by chloral, wa. .0
doathllko that artificial respiration waa con
tinued and I"r. Laponnl every few minute,
leaned anxiously over the couch to observe
hi. patient and listen to nl. barely per
ceptible breathing.
I'ope Leo awoke with wet perspiration.
feeble In the extreme, and hi. voice hardly
audible. Tho fits of coughing brought pain,
ln hie chest and shoulders, and, thinking
his end near, he said to tne doctor: "Tell
me when the time really come." The
doctor assured hi. holiness that he believed
the danger of hi. immediate pa.slng wa.
averted for the dny.
Mind Remains Clear.
These seemingly last moment, of Pope
Leo are full of solemnity. Perhaps they '
would be less melancholy and sad If the
august sufferer were less conscious of the
circumstances and hi. mind less clear a. to
the duration of time remaining to him be
fore he enters eternity. Although his
physlc.nl powers are at the lowest ebb and
his breathing Income, more labored, his
mind remains clear, an 1. manifest, to all
around him by hi. bright, expressive eye.
and the few word, he now and then suc
ceeds In uttering.
The scene I. .0 touching that those pres
ent can scarce restrain their tears. Count
Camlllo Peccl, 'the pope', -nephew; whom,
the dying man kept by hi. bedside yester
day, was so exhausted lata last Might by
his contending emotions that ha had to
be taken from hi. uncle's room. A few
minutes before, a. he stood bowed beside
the bed. Pope Leo laid hi. hahd on hi.
head with paternal affection, anylng:
"Take courage." 1
Shortly after 10 at night the pontiff re
ceived the extreme unction. At i hla con
dition 'seemed so hopeless that only a
short time apparently remained before he
would glide Into his last sleep. . At Dr.
Laponnl's initiative, a hasty consultation
with the pope's relative., Cardinal Ram pol
io and other ecclesiastic, .was held and It
was decided that the extreme unction
should be administered. The pontiff re
ceived the announcement with hla ususl
calmness, and though scarcely able to
speak audibly, he said he knew til. time
had come and he was ready to appear be
fore the sublime tribunal with full trust
ln the divine mercy.
Extreme Unction Administered.
Mgr. Pirreri admlni.tered the extreme
unction, and when the ceremony waa over
hla holiness sank back on tha pillow, ap

done and that he wa. entering Into rest

terday. having heard that a French lady
whom he had received In audience a few
weeks ago had telegraphed a message of
sympathy, he asked to see the dispatch,
and when Mgr. PlfTert brought It he wa.
not satisfied with looking at the message,
but wished to read It.

It Is considered certain that the visit to
France of the king and queen of Italy,
now arranged for July 18, will be postponed,
as In the event of a fatal termination of
the pope's Illness. King Victor Emmanuel
will not be able to leave the kingdom until
a pontiff has been elected and Installed.
Yesterday was a day of many alarms
and as many satisfactory reassurances.
The pontiff's condition, viewed a. 1 con
stantly as a weather cock change. Its po
sition, now apparently hopeless and again
so hopeful as to engender dream, of hi.
ultimate recovery.
Many Rallies and Relapses.
When he awoke he waa ln pain but bet
ter, by 2:15 he was weak tgaln, and half
an hour after asleep. At I a fit of cough
ing disturbed htm and caused fears for
his Imminent end; at 6:30 he called for eorae
food and ate with an apparently good ap
petite. At 9 he was again thought to be
dying; at 10:30 he was still worse; at 1 a.
m. he was asleep and at 1:30 safe to llvo
through the night.
Still throughout the day It was moat ap
parent that his strength was gradually
ebbing, his rallies being merely th. la.t
Idcsperate efforts of an extraordinary vi
tality.
At 8 last night the following bulletin was
Issued after a consultation between the
attending doctors:
Accentuated symptoms of general depres
sion are appearing. The pope's respiration
is more frequent and superficial and his
pulwe is so weak that sometimes it Is Im
perceptible., llii temperature remain,
under normal, but his intellectual faculties
are unimpared.
