NORWALK GAZETTE, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 28, 1889. J ohnstown’s Six;'1‘housand. Johnstown’s board of inquiry, after care- fully correcting the figures and availling themselves of all possible means for secur- ing reasonable accuracy, report the loss of life by the bursting of the South Fork dam at 6,111. This does not embrace the entire num- ber of missing, but in many CtlSCS where people are missing there is strong reason to believe that they left the valley as soon as they could get away after the flood, making no record of their departure or their destination. Every week sees the return of stragglers. Only the other day a young Italian girl returned with her father and two sisters, the sole survivors of a family of twelve. They were swept away on a roof during the later stages of the flood. The girl was separated from the rest at the bridge, floated down the river for eighteen miles, an i washed ashore. She was cared for till she re- covered her strength, and then set out to find her family. She has been traveling from hamlet to hamlet and from but to hut ever since until this week. She found two of her sisters and her father, all at different places, and all ignorant of the existence of any of the others. Last week they would all have been put down among the lost. It is regarded as probable that there are some similar cases, but not many, and due regard is paid to this possibility in the estimate made by the board of injuiry. Undoubtedly their fig- ures are fairly accurate. The total loss of life places the J ohnstown flood on record as the most destructive to human life of any similar disaster which has befallen civilized man. It is pleasant to know that the officers charged with distributing to the suffering survivors the largess of the nation’s chari- ty have yielded in some particulars to the demands of local sentiment and that a better feeling is prevailing than was the rule a couple of weeks ago. Bishop McMahon’s Worst . Saturday, St. Lawrence’s Day, was the tenth anniversary of the consecration of the Rt. Rev. Lawrence McMahon as bishop of the diocese of Hartford, which includes all the state of Connecticut. A short review of the great work done by the bishop was printed in the Connecticut Catholic. The bishop has created nearly forty new parishes, among them those in Bethel and Ridgefield, and established missions in thirty-three places, including Redding Ridge. There have been several academics and convents opened in the state during the ten years just ended. The most notable of them are, undoubtedly, the excellent academy for young ladies established by Father E. J. Vygen in Putnam, and the one in Lakevillc. Parochial schools have been established, in addition to those that were in existence, in St. Joseph’s cathedral parish, in Baltic, in Birmingham, in Danbury, in Fairfield, in Fair Haven, in Greenwich and severa other places. Mass is now allowed to be said in the penal institutions of the state through the work of the bishop. Not many years ago they were excluded from these institu- tions. The following table shows the present standing of the diocese: Bishops - - - - - - 1 Priests - - - - - - - 173 Ecclesiastical students - - - - 30 Students in American college, Home - 2 Religious women - - - - - 475 Churches - - - _-" - _ - 140 Chapels, etc., where mass is occasmnally said - - - - - - 36 Stations visited ~ - - - - — 34 Total number of schools - - - 81 Total number of pupils - - - 14,318 Orphanages - - - - - - 2 Number of inmates - - - - 262 Home for the aged andfdestitute - 1 Numl: er of inmates - - - - 20 Asylums - - - - - - - 3 Number of inmates - - - 274 Baptisms for 1878 - - - - 6,961 Marriages for 1888 - - - - 1,677 During the last decade it is estimated that the bishop has confirmed at least 50,- 000 children. The money paid out by the Knights of Columbus, established since Bishop McMahon began to govern the diocese, for death claims is $100,000, and some $20,000 in sick benefits. The A. 0. H. has also paid out many thousands in sick benefits and endowments. ‘Av 7* A Safe Investment.

The whirl in which it forms is not a very broad and shallow disk, but a tall, columnar mass of rotating air, similar to that in which the Atlantic waterspout or the famous pillar -like dust storm of India is generated. While this traveling zei'iei pillar, perhaps a few hun- dred yards in diameter, is rapidly gyrating, the centrifugal force, as Prof. Ferrell has shown, acts as a barrier to prevent the flow of external air from all sides into its interior, except at and near the base of the pillar. There friction with the earth retards the gyrations and allows the air to rush in below and escape upwards through the flue-like interior as powerful ascending currents. The phenomenon, however, will not be attended by terrific floods unless the at- mOSphere is densely stored with water vapor, as it was last Tuesday in the Caya‘ dutta valley, and as it was on May 31 in the Conemaugh valley. When such is the case, the violent ascending currents sud- denly lift the vapor-laden clouds several thousand feet above the level at which they were previously floating, and hurl them aloft into rarefied and cold regions of the atmosphere, where their vapor is instantly condensed into many tens 'of water. Could the water fall as fast as condensed, it would be comparatively harmless. But the continuous uprushing currents support this mass of water at the high level, and as their own vast volumes of vapor rising are condensed they add to the water already accumulated thousands of feet above the earth’s surface—making, so to speak, a lake in high air. As the whirlwind weakens or passes from this vast body of water. which its ascending currents have generated and upheld in the upper story of the atmos- phere, the aqueous mass, no longer sup- ported, drops with ever increasing gravi- tational force to the earth. In severe cloud-bursts the water does not fall as rain but in sheets and streams, sometimes un- broken for many seconds. The cloud- burst of 1888 at Hollisdaysburgh, Pa., ex- cavated many holes in the ground, vary- ing from 25 to 30 feet in diameter, and from 2 to 6 feet deep. In a similar but milder storm, which visited Boulogne last May, fissures were cut in the streets eight feet deep, and openings made large enough to engulf a horse and cart. Woman Sum-age in Fact. The Governor and several other state officers of Kansas have published a state- ment declaring that woman suffrage is a success. It has been demonstrated~ (1) That women will vote. (2) That good women will vote. (3) That the evils predicted if women should vote, viz., that they would neglect home duties, etc., have not visited Kansas yet, although that state has had three years of woman suffrage. The way to prove that women won’t vote is not to give them a chance. Good women have as much interest in good government as good men, and they will exercise themselves to secure whole. some laws and see them enforced where their votes count for as much as any other citizens’. . Almost every day brings news from some quarter that women, for one reason or other, are throwing off their ancient lethargy and asserting their right to be heard in matters concerning themselves and their children, and many women in the highest circles in England have taken sides on the question of granting the Par- liamentary franchise to their sex. For fourteen years or more certain classes of women have possessed municipal suffrage in Great Bntian. Woman suffrage. says the New York Press, may not come with a rush, but it is coming. _____.‘»____ List of Patents.
