A Th rilling Experience. Mrs. Mae Long, wife of Reuben Long, of Grapeville, formerly of Clay township, had quite an experience in the flood which visited that section on the 5th inst. Mrs, Long is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Anderson Bowman, formerly residents of Union and Cass townships. Under date of July 7th sbe writes a private letter to her uncle, W. G. McConahy, of Maptetoh, from which we are permitted to make the following extract: Having just escaped from death's door I write to tell you my experiences. On Sunday afternoon my friend Eliza Pickett and I went to Oakford Park. Ren b could not go with us and we went alone. As I was leaving the house I had a presentiment that something might happen and t called back, "Good bye, I am going." We reached Oakford Park safely. A gentle rain commenced falling but soon it seemed to come in streaks that resembled ribbons We ran to the pavilion for shelter. It was overcrowded and we. soon learned that we must leave there. All ran to the house in front of it which was no safer and Eliza and I ran to the band stand where half a dozen men Were under shelter. 8oon we saw all the property , mtfving down over tbe lawn, boats, merry-go-round, hobby horses and other objects. We had the bridge to cross and only Eliza and I ventured to cross it People cried, called and stretched out their hands for us to hurry across, the stream. Just as we stepped off the bridge it was carried away. By this time we were wading in very deep water but we reached the roily coaster. Hundreds and hundreds of people were standing on the roily coaster and we were obliged to leave that place and run to the opera house. Scarcely had we reached this when we were obliged to flee for the hills. We ran for miles and then came to a farm but the house was on the farther side of a creek which was rapidly rising. The farmer saw us and came down and assisted us to wade through the waters. We were joined here by some young man who said he would help us out and he went with us until we reached home. We reached the street car track near Greensburg but were not half way home. Telephone lines were falling about us and we were again obliged to plunge into the creek now above waist deep. I was wearing a heavy black skirt which hindered my progress. My feet were swept from under the and I was floating on my back and the young man assisted me out. Eliza was heavier and got along all right bttt f had been sick and the waters tossed me about like an egg shell. We came over hills and valleys, wading swollen streams that would thro,w us off our feet My skirt was torn" badly, my hat lost and we were • thoroughly drenched. At one time we were in a field on a big hill and the rain descended not in drops but in torrents. Sharp, vivid lightning and deafening thunder added to the awfulness of our situation. Trees were being struck by lightning all around us. We ran through briars, bushes and thickets and our cloth* ing was torn and. our bodies badly scratched. When we came to open fields we cried to the Father above to save us and He heard our prayers. I cried for home and screamed at the top of my voice for Pa and Reuben. They w we --out and anxious for our safety. I certainly am thankful to the Heavenly Father for saving us and giving us strength to reach home for when we arrived I felt as if I could not have taken another step. My hat was found but many who saw us in our flight thought we had perished. REDUCED KATES TO BAI.TIMOK): Via Pennsylvania Railroad, Aooount Meeting of the Benevolent and 1'rotectlve Order of Rika.
