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 days before the extent of the disaster can be determined: ' MISS GERTRUDE KEEFER. aged 24 years, of Jeannette; body recovered.

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.

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. POPE LEO FIGHTS GALLANTLY FOR Lift CONDITION 0FJTHE WEATHER Forecast for Nebraska-Fair Tuesday.

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.

PARTLY RAISE QUARANTINE Washington Officials Modify Drastic Order Haling Stork from Massachnsetta. n the words of Miller, that he would make the place a nonunion shop, although he had signed the scale when lust presented. The places of tha men vhn went out were mmedlately filled by three men, one of whom enmo from Toledo, O. It Is not thought the action of Miller will precipi tate a general Btrike or lockout. Mr. Miller declined to n-aite a statement as to the causes that led him to dlsunlonlze his shop. "I decided I would run my own . place, he sold, "took down the union cards and notified the union to wimp around and get them. All the union men In the place walked out and three new men have been hired and I will continue to employ compe tent barbers until I have aif I i.eed.'V A member of the union said: "We be lieve that the Business Men's association is behind this move, although we have no proof of the fact. Our action Is not a strike, but merely a walkout because our em ployer has not lived up to his contract. There were no differences of any kind be- ween us other than our refusal to work 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."

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 parently with great relief that all wa. done and that he wa. entering Into rest after his long pilgrimage. 1 After the administration of th. viaticum. telegram, hoping for hi. recovery were shown him nnd he appeared to be much gratified. One of the strangest feature. In hi. condition Is the Interest he take. . In telegram. Inquiring about hi. health. Ye. 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. From the piazza of St. Peter', the group. of -watcher, can see figure, flitting to end fro past the lighted window, of the palace, an unusual number of which are Illuminated. 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.
