A Suspicious Character, An amusing mistake occurred Iatel> in a street car in Philadelphia. A woman loaded with bundles had found a vacant seat. Her umbrella, which had a kind of shepherd’s crook handle, was placed at her side, leaning against her seat. The Philadelphia Telegraph tells the story. No sooner had the lady settled her¬ self than a gentleman entered. He wore a heavy overcoat, and without paying any attention to those about him, took the vacant seat next to the woman with the umbrella. Ho did not notice the umbrella ^ind the woman gave no thought to the matter. Presently the mtbreUa, through the jolting of the car, worked its way down, and without the jknowl- edge of either person, continued until the handle slipped into the pian’3 pocket. There it rested until thft man started to leavo the car. Even then neither of the passengers noticed the incident, but as he walked down the aisle there was a general giggling to be heard. The conductor* saw how matters stood, and said: “Excuse me, sir, is that your um¬ brella?’’ The passenger looked at the um¬ brella, and with many stammers and blushes, replied in the negative. The conductor thereupon returned it to the woman with the bundles. “Where did that come from? How did you get it?" she inquired. “The gentleman who sat here car¬ ried it away in his pocket,” answered the conductor. “Well, he ought to be arrested.. Any man who has a pocket big enough to hold an umbrella must be a shop¬ lifter or a pickpocket. He must havo had it made to hold his stealings. I 1 want him arrested.” The man. fortunately for him, had disappeared. Pce's First Appearance. The old dispute as to w'bere Edgar Allan Poe was born appears to be settled by his latest biographer. Prof, Harrison states with empahsis that he was born in Boston, Jan. 19, 1809. His parents, who were strolling ac- tors, though hi3 father was of excel- lent family, were playing in Boston! when little Edgar was born. As Prof, Harrison facetiously puts it: i “At length a stop—In Boston—came to the wanderings; January 19, 1S09, Mrs. Poe did not appear—but Edgar did.”—Boston Herald.

RESULT OF A CLOUDBURST Park in Ravine at Grcen^urg, Pa., Over¬ flowed and Everyth.ng is Swept Before Resistless Torrent. A water spout of immense propor¬ tions struck in the vicinity of Oakforcl park, Greenburg, Pa., Sunday after¬ noon and created a flood that caused great loss of life and property. It Is known that at least twenty persons lost their lives and rumors place the number of dead at more than one hun- dred, but up to a late hour Sunday night only three or four bodies had been recovered, having been crashed to the banks of the little creek that runs parallel with the park. At 3 o’clock rain began to fall in tor¬ rents in the vicinity of tne park, and spread over territory covering proba¬ bly ten miles. A half hour later the cloudburst oc¬ curred. The waters in the lake north of Oakford park began to rise, and Manager James McGrath believing there was danger cf a final break in ttle great walls of the hurried amon S the crowds of plotsure seekers who had gathered under the roofs of the eating stands, the dancing pavilion and other buildings in lne of the wa¬ ter, should the banks break, and warn¬ ed them to run to the hills. A telephone message irom Jeannette received at midnight stated that from fifty to seventy-five n|en, women and children perished by the cloudburst at Oakford park. The majority were drowned, or their Iivei were beaten out against the rocks in Brush creek, but a number were electrocuted. At least, 800 people were at the park seeking relief from the heat. YY'hen the storm burst th« greater number sought the hillside, preferring the shel- ter G f the forest Pees to the pant buildings. because they did not care to be below the level of the dam aad but little above the level of Bush creek. YVhen the dam broke a solid wall of water twenty feet high. rushed down and completely fille^the narrow ravine with ^ r tl ' af ' k8 ; f ar f taurant. In front f of the car bam stood a car containing from fifty to seventy passengers, many of them seeking 10 return to Jeannette, others using it as a temporary shelter. With the immense body of water be¬ hind it, the crest of the flood bore down with irresistible force. It car- rled with it in its embrace the loaded street car and the crowded restaurant. The flood was filled with men. women and children struggling for their n>es. The pole3 canning the heavily eharg- e( * t r °hey wi were uprooted and strewn along tht gounds. Tn a number °' “ 13 “ ot known—the victims of the flood, gasp- j n g f or anything that might save them from the fury of the water, seized tne trolley wires and net death by being electrocuted instead of being drowned. Several _ , bodies . . hay? already ... been "e- covered, showing tiat death was the rpei resml ,it OI vviq lnia cd rause ‘ se - It is almost the concensus of opin- ion of the people o' Jeannettee that fully one hundred ptrsons perished in the flood while many conservative per- sons maintain that the official death Hat wlU con ^ in ™ hundred and fifty more.
