Frank Vermuelen, acting as spokesman for the crowd which had gathered around the POST-DISPATCH men, related if a graphic way the story of the deluge which had poured in upon them, fiooded their houses and de- stroyed the crops before, as he said, ‘‘we had time to think. ; „It was long about 4o0’clock in the after- noon that we first saw the water coming and you bet we lost no time. The women and children were started on a run for the biuffs and we men gave ourattention to the stock. So fast did the water come in that we had to wade and swim the cattle to get them on to dry ground. Chickens and hogs were run into the houses and those that we could not get in perished. At the time the water began to break in Geor Hall had his team hitched and though he lost no time in making prep- arations to desert his home, he was com- pellea to swim his horses through the flood to reach land. So precipitate was the flight of every person inthe bottoms that it was at first supposed that Mrs. Bode, Vitel ennette’s boy and Theodore Peterson’s ired man and team had been drowned, but this morning welearned that they had all reached the bluffs in safety. ABOUT 150 FAMILIES DRIVEN OUT. ‘*Altogether, 1 guess about 150 families were washed out and were compelled to spend the night in the b'iuffs without shelter. there are about thirty-five families I guess encamped now on the heights right opposite here.’’ One of the men agreed to take the Post- Dis- PATCH party tothe camp on the bluffs, but before setting out it was decided to walk a short distance up the Cairo Short Line tracks and take a view of the raging torrent under the trestle and of the houses to the west which were partially submerged. A THRILLING INCIDENT. While the work was going onthe Post-Drs- PATCH Corps were witnesses Ol a most thrill- ing incident. Rev.

If ever you have sat on a cold winter’s night and, while in reverie, gently poked and scraped the coals ina fire you will appreciate how much comfort there is in the process, even for a flood sufferer. The young man’s name was John Lacont. He had just returned ashort time before from a trip through the flooded bottoms and had carried his skiff up on the bluff with him, SHOOTING AT THIEVES. was afraid to leave it down there, he said, continuing to stirthe fire and keeping his eyes all the time intently fixed on the embers he was stirring. ‘*You see, there are sO many thieves prowling around the dot toms in skiffs that nothing ain't safe. Last night Gus Huskamp and Gus Caldren heard sOme men trying to break into their houses and they opened fire on them, but it was dark and they could not see well, so I don’t guess they hit them.

The water in Goose Lake rose six feet in six hours.’’ The thieves took all my chickens,’’ said Mrs. Wuest, who had joined thecircie, ‘‘I gathered them all up and put them onthe porch, and to-day when I went down there every last one of them was gone. Maybe 1f I hadn’t gathered them all up like I did they wouldn't have got them all. A WAGON LOAD OF SUFFERERS. The cattle of the farmers are scattered along the bluffs ana their piaintive bleatings added to the melancholy of the surroundings. On the road back to Belleville a furniture wagon crowded with women and little chil- dren was met. They were the families of John Baptiste, Jules St. Germain, John Sut- ter and John Herbeets from Jarrot Station. They had been out in the rain for two nights, and Mayor Weber of Belleville had sent the wagon to the bluffs to bring them to the County Farm, where they will be comfortably quartered. WADED OUT. We got no warning at all,’’ said John Sutter, who was accompanying the caravan. Tue water came up so suddenly that I had to Mitt my wife and child in my arms and wade through the torrent with them. We dia not save a thing and tor twonights our Wives and children have been forced to lie out on the bluffs without any shelter. Last night wasa terrible night. he rain fell in torrents andthe wind whistled through the trees all night long. The poor little children could not, of course, sleep in sucha frightful storm and they were soaked through. if they Bee bot taken seriously ill we will thank- The poor little creatures did not even have time to savea hat so swiftly did the flood come upon them, and their little heads were tied up in cloth and linen which bad been ob- tained at farm-houses. The sight of the sufferers touched the people of Belleville, and as the wagon was driven up Main street the driver was obliged to stop a number of times to receive donations, Shoes and cloth- iny were given by many ofthe storekeepers. heriff Dawson returned to Belleville at a late hour last night, having distributed his gone along the bluffs near Sugar Loaf. hese bluffs are so called from an immense big projecting rock which exactly resembles A sugar loaf in form.

Should the water continue to rise there will be probably two hundred more families in the bottoms who will be compelled to seek safety on the bluffs. THE LOWER RIVER. Almost Inestimable Loss of Property— Heartrending Scenes. The Anchor Line steamer Crystal City from Grand Tower, III., landed at the foot of Chestnut street, at noon to-day, after an eventful trip. It left Grand Tower about 5 o’clock yesterday morning, and could have arrived in the city last night despite the high wind, n had made a through ~g This, however, ce@uld not be done, as the at was hailed everywhere by the flood sufferers in the Lower Mississippi district. The boat re- sponded to call, and took on passengers stock wher- ever such requests were made. Some of the unfortunates driven out of house and home by the torrents were entirely witnout means, butthis made no difference to the officers of the boat. They were taken with what little of the stock they had saved and transferred to points of boat did little in fact Grand Tower and Chester, a distance of but thirty-five miles, but respond to such distress calls, and nearly twelve hours were spent in making the thirty-five miles The boat was in charge of Capt.

Molen for learning the condition of affairs in the 125 miles of river between St. Louis and Grand Tower. FEARFUL CONDITION OF AFFAIRS. The trip was a remarkable one and will be long remembered by the crew and pas- sengers. On all sides were scenes of distress many of them of a pitiable character. At James Landing on the Ulnois side about forty-five miles below tiie city the boat was hailed by Mr. James, one of the thousands of farmers in the Southern Mississippi whose farms and in a state of ruin, family he stood on a little patch of ground not over anacre in area. All the rest of his large farm was entirely hidden from view. For miles back, even to the bluff, there wasa wide ex- panse of muddy and swiftly running water. he fi also extended far into the Mis- The call was answered, and the made a @oss-s t, running far up into what a k ago was a promising wheat field. on the dry patch,“ as Mrs. James called it, werea lot of cows, calves and hogs, as well as a pile of corn in sacks. The owner had concluded that it was time to remove the stock and corn and this is why he stopped the steamer. All was taken on board, excepting a couple ofcows. The James resi- Gence was just a foot out of water and the family had concluded to stay as long sourl side, ‘fully carrie nding to signals. They cheer- out the order to anywhere when there was not too ack fof a risk to answer these calls; Several persons who had remained in their swamped homes to the last another res minute were taken aboard. When Chester was reached news came down from haskaskia, the oldest settlement in mois, that most of the isiand was under water and that the 300 or 400 people living there could not hold out longer. The island is fourteen miles long and from seven to nine miles wide. On the upper — is the little town of Penjal, nown better as Dozaville, while Kaskaskia 4 takes up the lower half. The Okaw iver flows behind it into the Mississippi, and a slough connects the two rivers on the north. This is how the island is formed. The report that the people of the island were in danger was carried to Chester by John Doza, a son of the man who founded Dozaville and one of the trustees of the place. KASKASKIA’S APPEAL, He arrived late and chartered a tugboat and a couple of skiffs, and returned to the island without any delay. On the trip up from Grand Tower which was made in daylight until St. Mary's, Mo., was reached scenes of distress were every- where visible. When tne boat rounded a bend at Wilkinson’s Landing about 110 miles down the rivera stretch of water fully 16 miles in width was presented to view. On the roof of a house back the lilinois side stood a saturated with mud and water from head to foot. He waved his arms frantically and the pilot acknowled the call by blowing: the whistle. When the boat turned her nose to the house, the roof of which was visible, other persons could be seen standing in a partly submerged corn-crib. They were waving bed sheets and * neg | else they had in hand that might cateh the boat’s attention. Reaching the place a scene of indescribable misery was before the crew and passengers. Huddled in an old stable partly under water were four men, three bluffs and in some places is eight or ten miles wide. The land is exceedingly rich and finely adapted for corn stock - raising. But little of this long strip of ground is out of water and all day yesterday and last night the river was rising rapidly. Ihe boat had frst left Wikinson’s, when a hail was given from the Missouriside. The boat moved four or five farmers wading over what was a corn leid, — six big mules. The animals, with much difficulty, were run aboard, and the farmers then jumped in a skiff and rowed back to their partly submerged houses, They shouted to the mate when they were leaving that their wivesand children were on high and dry ground back in the bluffs, and that they in- tended to sta themselves to save their houses if possible. This was at a place called Yeagers. Here, as at every other stopping place, flood news was eagerly sought. The farmers pressed around Capt. Molen and eagerly asked what was the test news on the St. Louis gauge and the condition of the Missouri River. Up further another signal was given from the Illinois side, Four men stood under a tree and one of them waved a white hand- kerchief attached to a stick. The water un- der the tree was knee deep, and this is what they said was the only d land for miles about. They meant that the balance of the country was flooded to such an extent that no person could reach it unless he had a boat or was a Wim mer. The quartette all had rubber boots, and they did not seemto be in any way cast down. Onthe contrary, they were in a good humor and seemed resigned. They had a cow and two skiffs, and like everybody else, they wanted to know: Is she still ris- ing above?’’ SAVED THE Cow. When the boat ran up to the tall one of the farmers, who acted as a spokesman, he said the cow had been found swimming, and that they had pulled the animal into shallow water. They saw it was the property of a farmer living a few miles above. The cow was a very disconsolate-looking animal and offered no objection to going aboard when the gang plank was rundown. The men re- — GF — Scene Near the Cairo Short 3 ine Trestle Where Fathers Meefuss, Dietrich and Klein Were Capsized. +s women and seven children. They were shiv- ering in the cold, damp alr, and wers all wet and covered with mud. The stable Was found to be the only place that offered any shelter for miles around, and the water was rising fast allaroundit. Back some distance was a flat boat securely anchored to four trees. On this boat was a man holding on to four mules. He was waiting for the current to ease up so he could paddle back to the Illinois bluffs. ENTIRELY SWAMPED. All the women and children were taken aboard, but the mendecided to stay and try — — View of the Camp on the Bluffs East of Centerville Station. as possible. Mrs. James,a pleasant looking Old lady, asked lor river news as soon as the boat was landed. Is it still rising at St. Louis“ was her first question, and then she eagerly asked forthe papers. She refused to leave when the boat pulled out, saying that she would weather it as long as posstbie. We can stand a foot of water yet before we are run outof the house,’’ she said, ‘‘and I intend to stay until then. If it’s God's will that the water reach a higher level, we can only submit in the proper spirit.’’ James’ nding is in Monroe! County, and the farms in that neighborhood are among the highest priced in the entire State of llinols. At the landing the reporter was told that the water had swamped all but one or two houses for miles around, and that the occupants had left. One of the houses in the back district had been torn from its foundation and carried ener: Close to this landing was a shingle roofed- house, sticking above the surface of the turgid stream. It was all that could be seen ofa one-and-a-half story farm-house. The barn was entirely gone. RESCUING FLOOD VICTIMS. Onthe previoustrip of the Crystal City, Capt. Molen and his crew had picked uptwo or three rsons in imminent danger of drowning. They reported ruined crops and the loss of most of their stock.

Undera lot of their houses anchored down an@ in t stay with them untilthey were swamped or the flood subsided. A mile or two above this point a farm house was seen lying on its side. This was all that could be seen of the place, the entire farm of 100 acres being entirely covered. On the previous trip of the Crystal City, all the occupants of this house were rescued and taken to the bluffs. The next call given the steamer also came fused to. go aboard, explaining that they had teaded trees at this point were some twenty head of live stock—mules and cows. They were all taken aboard. The women and children at this point had already gone, leaving the men to do the best they could to save the houses. Here there was about an acre of wheat above water, butthe river was rising rapidly, and the farmers pre- dicted that it would all be swamped. They had rubber boots and skiffs ready, and said they were prepared for the worst. AN IMMENSE CHANNEL. Ata point opposite there is a chute which it seems was part ofthe main channel of the river some eighteen or twenty years ago. The stream shifted, however, and formed a new path. For thirteen years this chute never contained enough water for an Anchor Line boat until the present flood. Yesterday the Cryftal City entered the chute and a number of soundings were made, and fifteen feet of water found in every place. The boat ran uptothe little town of Rock- wood, on a biuff, which has not seen a large boat at her doors for years. The in- habitants and floou refugees there turned out to see the big steamer run through the chute. The object in making this side run was to land some of the victims who wanted to reach that place. Moving out the boat got a signal from Bish- op’s Landing on the issouril side to take Mrs. Bishop and her two children out of the flooded country. The ware- house was more than half under water, and Mr. Bishop and several farm hands were working hard trying to prevent a leak in an improvised levee that was hur- riedly built. This was the only safeguard against the destruction of his general store. As it was the water was upto the floor, though the place is on an elevation. All the farms back tothe bluffs were under water and the farm houses abandoned. WET AND DISCOURAGED. At Bishop’s Landing an old man witha * wrinkled face, wearing a G. A. R. utton on his coat lapel, got on board,. He had rowed seven miles across farms and was wet from head to foot and ered with mud. He was on board, and was soon dryin front ofa hot stove. ‘‘rhis is the second flood that’s hit me since I’ve been farming down here, he said, and I’m getting dis- couraged.

When he got in the ski to row up against the flerce currenta young girl nearly went into hys- terics. Her father had volunteered to help row the postmaster and she said between her sobs that they would both be drowned. When the beat was loaded the stock and fur- niture were hauled across to St. Marys, Mo., which is on the high ground. A number of the Kaskaskia families went over, but they were from the sections under water. Those who were out of water sald they would wait until the last minute and then utilize their skiffs. Thetownof Kaskaskia proper Is al- ready partly submerged and the water was flowing in rapidly last night. The people there are looking for the worstand say they have made their preparations to leave.

The barge was taken ne for their stock, their house urniture will be put aboard the steamer. Unless some unforeseen difficulties are encountered, the ple and their stock will be landed at St. Charles or some point nearthere to-day.

Ow BoARD PoOS8T-DISPATCH STEAMER AT KasTiIno’s FAnM- House (one-half mile inland, via Mitchel, III.), May 19.—The Posr-Disraren * flood relief steamer arrived at William Kast- ing’s farm-house on Chouteau Island at 10 o’clock yesterday morning and itmmediately . began loading stock and taking on the refu- gees ofthe neighboorhood who had fled to Kasting’s for safety. They hailed the coming of the relief steamer with joy, as it seemed to present the only avenue of escape from their deluged farms. At 12 o’clock the work was completed and the steamer was ready to start away, but at that hour a terrific wind storm arose and it Was thought unsafe to proceed. The boat was accordingiy made secure to the bank and we are now waiting for the win 4 to sub- side. The weather is clear, but the wind is as high as ever. The following persons are on board the Post-DisraTcu Relief Boat, and will go with us: Herman Huxel, Mrs. Herman Huxel with three children, aged 11 and 3 years and 2 months. Olga Marfelder, a sister of Mrs. Huxel. Fred Krug and Mrs. Krug, with four chu. dren, aged 10, 8, (and 2 years. Mrs. Adelaide Wessel, aged 68 years. O. Pettingtli. William Kasting, Andrew Kolte.

Besides these people, we expect to take on Mrs. Hettingill and her two daughters and Misses Rosie and Dodie Atkins, who are water- bound tn their houses within sight of us. We will reach them without difficulty as oon as the wind subsides. We have with us a barge on which are four- teen horses and mules and one colt and five head of cattle. There is more stock at Alkin’s Place, which we shall take when the boat out. The boat is safely moored away mall danger. EAST ST. LOUIS RELIEVED.

To illustrate how swift the current is near the Carondelet ele- vator,a hu log came floating down yes- terday, and when near the elevator was caught in the current, whirled around two or three times with lightning velocity, and then thrown toward the bank. By actual meas- urement it was found that the log was driven into the dirt a distance of four feet. NORTH sT. LOUIS. More Factories Fiooded—Sewers Likely to Burst. The condition of the food in North St. Louls has assumed a dangerous shape. Dev- astation hourly threatens a big and pros- perous manufacturing district. Already the losses and damages turn over $100,000 and hundreds of men are in enforced idle- ness, while the people subject to the ravages are prayerfully hoping that the next to the greatest deluge ever known in the Mississipp! Valley will soon begin to be A part of history. Authorities on nautical questions are numerous, but the continued rise is perplexing to them. Their prophesies have all failed so far. The only dry land that reaches within few hundred feet of the original bounds of the great river anywhere beyond Palm street and the city limits, five miles, is a strip of three blocks between Salisbury street and Bremen avenue. This dry surface is cecuplied by the Knapp, Stout & Co. Com- pany and the Union stock Yards. Both yards are below the surface of the main river from five to ten feet. The result of the water poufing in can be readily imagined. At these two points the most desperate resistance avainst the ad- vancing tide has had to be made. it has been asteady fight day and night for ten days. The men and teams are fatigued with the struggle. But there are still hopes that the eattie may be successful. The invasion has been kept back sofar. But it has cost hundreds of Gollars and unceasing watchfulness. Col. John H. Douglass, the President of the Knapp, Stout & Co. company and Col, Don N. Falmer, the hustling manager of the Unton Stock Yards, enlisted in the work themselves and have been knee-deep in the water night and da to keep their properties from being f - swept, andto-day, withthe river swelling, the situation is threatening, but the fight Will keep out another foot, possibly. Our great damage, anda most uncertain one, said Mr. John J. Fletcher, Assistant Superin- tendent of the Union yards, ‘‘is the collapse of one of the big sewers that run araliel with the yardsonthe main streets. ere isa danger that the best engineering in- genuity cannot figure on, and where bullding banks would be of no service.’’ FACTORIES FLOODED. On the Merchants’ Terminal Railroad, be- tween Ferry and Angelica streets, the water has succeeded in getting over the tracks and Alling up lke a huge basin a territory nearly a block wide and five blocks long. The water has reached the level ofthe main river and has flooded Bt. Louis of Knapp, Co, pany. It is only by constant pump ser- vice day and night that the back water is kept out of the Knapp, Stout & Co. Company's planing mills at Second and Bremen avenue. All of the steam that can be generated is re- quired to keep the pumps to capacity equal to the water, while the mill work is entirely suspended. Along this line two feet, or a trifie more would put a section of North st. Louis under water a couple of miles in length and several Dlocks in width. The result of such a pour in of the water cannot com puted. With the present gloomy ects such a disaster mprobable. The Merchants’ bridge ap- proach, from its intersection with Hall street, is surrounded with a depth of eight feetdeep. The peopleat Bisseli’s Point oc- cupying the second floors of the houses are gettinz 9 and are prepar- ing to vacate to roadway. They fear especially that the force the water may crumble the brick houses or float offthe frames. Between Salisbury and Dock street on Hall street the water is just begun to trickle over the Merchants’ tracks, threatening a ten- foot deluge on the west side of it back to second street. The Niedringhaus Rolling Millis have a force of men at work to-day to dank out the water, but it is an uncertain task. Col. Edw. Mallinckrodt, the general head of the Mallinckrodt Chemica] Works, was found by a Post-DisPatcu reporter industriously at work in a pair of long rubber boots that came uptohiships. He was wading around in the water giving directions to block up the sewer inlets that had already flooded his grinding mills and forced a partial suspen- sion of work, only about half of the regular force of 22% hands being at work. He P aces his loss at $2,500, which includes the loss to employes who have been thrown out of work. A pump will be put at work to-day and Mr. Mallinckrodt hopes to be able to start up to-moraow. At Hall and Dock streets the flooding of the Hafner-Lothman Manufacturing Co. 's warehouse has entailed a loss of $2,000. SEWER DANGERS. is another impending danger Its uncertainty makes is in a There North st. Louis. Outlets of effect is shown in the overfiow of the sewer at various points in the flooded district.

Hundreds of families, surrounded by swift running waters, clinging to every availiable support to save their livesand their belong- ings, cut off from civilization in a sea of water, robbed of all their fe by erratic rivers and suffering all the horrors of hunger, cold and exposure,isthe pitiful spectacie presented to the public while the ery of distress is heard on every side with imcreasingtone. These people, with no assurance that the river would rise higber or soon fall, remained on their property in the hope that ea ch hour would mark the highest point in the flood until, when too late, they realized their perilous position, and now send their appeals for succor. Along the river colonies are packed on small islands or strips of land, without food, except rough corn, and without means of preparing even that so it might be eaten. All but a few of the men, women and children now in want, lived in happy 2omes on rich valley farms in- dependent of the worid less than a week ago. Now they own nothing but the title or lease to the land they cannot see and are orying for food, It is for them the Post-DisraTcH sent out a relief boat last week to rescue as Many as possible. To provide them with food and shelter | until they can in some way ald themselves is the purpose for which the Post-Disratcu Fiood Fund was established. How heartily plan has been indorsed is shown the and numerous donations received.

In the history of the ‘theatrical profession here no company has Played to so many crowded houses as the troop of German dwarfs have drawn before the footlights, Their success in this country has been phenomenal and in no play of their repertoire have they madea greater hit than in the ‘‘Pupilin Magic’’ which will be the bill for the closing performance Saturday night. The company will leave St. Louis direct for their homes in Germany and bid farewell to this country perhaps for- ever. It willbe the last opportunity to see this remarkable troupe in the greatest of their plays. This benefit by the Liliputians, a German combination of actresses and actors playing for the benefit of the flood sufferers in the Mississippi Valley, willimpress many with the chances of fate and of queer colnejdence. About this season of the year, in 1887, theatrical performances were given in this city and other cities throughout the ¢ountry, and money was raised to assist the flood sufferers of Germany. Next Saturday even- ing the actors,some of whom came from those provinces in Germany where the cry of dis- tress was heard by all the world, will play their parts for the benefit of Americans sim- llarly distressed.

Great fear has been entertained by business men that the rising water would interfere with the city §Water-works and cut off the supply. A ‘number of business houses were in commun! cation with the water department to-day, but received reassuring answers, Commis- sioner Holman has been out at the works all day superintend- ing the precautionary measures that are being taken to vent any damage. His assistant, Mr. Adkins, said this. morning that there was noimmediate danger of the works stopping. The low service pumps are working steadily. The pumpsare placed an arrangement by which they can be ra but they are now upto the top noteh. The works are filled with 18 inches of water, but it would require a rise of nearly 2 feet to extinguish the frein the boxes, and this is the only danger to be feared.

All Mankind Has Turned Against Hop Sing, the Leper. New YorK, May 19.—Hop Sing, the Chi- nese leper, whom the Health Board dragged from his laundry last July and shipped to the Pacific coast, is back In New York again. He returned about two months ago and has made his home in the 10-cent lodgitng-house, No. 10 Pell street. Accompanied by the in- terpreter, a reporter went tothe Pell street lodging-house tosee theleper. It is a five- story building of yellow brick with one large room on each floor, into which are squeezed about thirty cot beds. Hop Sing lay on a cot by the rear window covered up with blank- ets. The room was hot, but Hop Sing shiv- ered. He looked better tnan he did when the neighbors on Fifth street were frightened to death by the ‘‘purple-faced laundryman,’’ as they called him. He has lost considerable flesh and his face is not so bloated as it was. Itis purple enough yet and the skin hangs in folds up under his eyes. Hop Sing is still a repul- sive sight. Through the interpreter he told his story. He went away with another leper in a party of thirty Chinamen, going back to tne Flowery Kingdom. At Vancouver, British Columbia, the lepers made a sensation among health and railroad officials and their further 2 Was stopped. For a couple of weeks hey were kept isolated in a tool shanty. On Sept. 22 they were bundled into a box car witha barrel of water and some bread, a hole was made in the end of the car to admit alr and the door was locked. Then the car was hauled to the American line and side- tracked. The customs officer who first opened the car nearly had a fit when he saw the re- pulsive-looking Chinamen. Nobody knew what to do, and meantime the water supply and the lepers ate ry suffered together. Finally railroad men stuck a hose through the hole in the car end and deluged the occupants with water. They flooded tne car ankle deep with water and incidentally filled the barrel. Then the car was coupled on toa locomotive, which shoved if over the boundary line again. By the time the bread had given out the rolling Lazarietto had reached Vancouver again. The authorities put the lepers in the tool shanty again and assed food to them onthe ends of long poles. Much too long for chop sticks these poles were, poor Ho Sing added, dryly. The Canadian Pacific’s officials refused to receive them. They were — in the box car again and just how many imes they traveled back and forth over the line between America and the British posses- sions Hop Sing does not know. His exnperi- ence was so bitter that he does not Iike to talk about it. The one bright spot in the suc- cession of dismal railroad trips was the visit paid him by a French Canadian priest. The man of God gave Hop Sing a medal with the picture of a saint upon it. ‘*He told me to hang my arm around the saint’s neck whenever I was in trouble,“ said the leper yesterday, as he showed the letter toa reporter. The box car finally brought the two | rs East. The Dominion Govern- ent had been appealed to and the Minister oF Agriculture had rendered a decision that — a stop to the shunting of the car back and orth across the boundary line.

Effect of the Free Binding Twine Bill on the Combine. NEw YorxK, May 19.—One of the latest moves of the public opposition to the Cordage Trust was the passage by the National House of Representotives of the free binding twine bill, which went through on May 2, The Na- tional Cordage Co. has maintained a bold and innocent front all through, but now there are signs of weakening. It was re ported yesterday that several of the largest concernsin the trust had shut down their factories, and, while this is denied in a meas- ure, the number ofidle men in the Eastern District of Brookiyn gives color tothe report. That at least one of the concerns has shut down is admitted bya director in the com- pany, but for what reason he refuses to ad- mit. It was said that the Elizabeth Cordrge Works, the rope works of William Wall’s Sons and the cordage works of Tucker & Car- ter, Brooklyn, had shut down. These are among the largest concerns of the kind in the country, and, when running, employ some- thing iike two thousand men. John A, Tucker of.the Tucker & Carter Works is also director in the National Cordage Co. He was seen at his home in Brooklyn last night. ‘*‘Why have you shut down work?’’ he was asked. We have not shut down completely; we are running still, though not to our capac- =." 715 the laying off of men the National Cordage Co.?“ ‘*Well, the company looks after the bust ness interests of the combined manulactur- ers. Have the rope works shut down?“ No, we are running our rope works, but rope manufacture is only secondary with us. due to orders from 1 — devote ourselves principally to binding wine. As to causing distress among our wcrkmen, there is no harm done, as the men expect to be idle now and then. We have been running fulltime all winter, and now we keep men around again. .We closed only two days ago, an may begin full work in a week.’’ President James M. Waterbury of the Trust was at his home in Westchester, and could not be seen last night. It is believed in cir- cles opposed to the Cordage Trust that the withdrawal of John Good from the combine had something to do with the shutting down of the factories. Notice to Shippers.

THE BURKE-O’CONNELL CASE. Last Night’s Investigation Results in a Tie Vote—To Come Up Again. The School Board Committee composed of Messrs. McClain, Rutledge, Troll, Wait, Col- lins, Sheehan and Cudmore, appointeu for the purpose of investigating any irregularity that may come before the board, held a special meeting yesterday afternoonto de- termine upon the celebrated O' con- nell-Burke contest election squabble, From 4:30 until the supper hour the exam ination of witnesses was had, and it was ap- proaching the 8 o’clock hour before the com- mittee had completed its labors, after which it retired in executive session to discuss the much- mooted situation and to vote upou the strength of the evidence before the body. President Barthold entered the room during the examination of witnesses, but after glancing around the auditorium took his departure and was not seen about the building any more during thesession. At 8:20 o’ clock the roll call of the committee was ordered, and it was ascertained that every member was present withthe exception of Mr. Wm. Troll. A vote being called for, the result stood 8 for and 8 against the sufficiency of evidence to take action in the matter, and whether or not Mr. O’Connell had been legally notified of the election con- test as inaugurated by his opponent, Mr. Burke. The absence of Mr. Tro caused con- siderable comment by those who were not aware of what caused the absence, as it was Known that at this meeting the 8 would de settled either one way the other, and from the sworn evidence of witnesses the committee would determine whether or not Mr. O'Connell had been le- gally notified would have ; gt. eae eT Ee ee ‘ ‘ U — 0 ’ . ._ Remington in .

The morning papers are at last beginning to call on the Merchants’ Exchange to or- ganize a flood relief association to assist in the work the Post-DisPaToH has been do- ing all the week. The first distinct view oi the impending disaster was shown to | the public by the exploring steamer sent out the Post-DisPACTCH by | last Friday, and the vivid pictures of the resoue and relief work in which a steamer chartered and sent out by the Posr-Dis- PATCH at its own expense has been en- gaged since last Sunday, have aroused the public to a sense of the extent of the ruin wrought. In twenty-four hours the Post-DiIsPATCH has raised and tendered $600 to the authorities of Belleville, East St. Louis, Alton and St. Charles—tendered to-day’s additional contributions of $250 or more to the proposed Merchants’ Exchange organization, and notified that body to draw on this office for the daily contributions sent in hereafter, includ- ing the proceeds of the Post-DisPaToH relief fund benefit atthe Olympic Theater next Saturday. The Merchants’ Exchange will relieve a great deal of flood suffering, if it gets as much belp from the other papers as from the Post-DISPATCH and its readers. -_ | * nn —y— * THE WORK OF RELIEF. Manager GAIENNIE of the Exposition offers an excellent suggestion with refer- ence tothe relief of flood sufferers, in a communication which will be found in another column. He urges that subscrip- tions for the expected visit of the Concord be turned over to the fund for the relief of the victims of the high water. Mr. GAIENNIE not only suggests but acts. He incloses in his communication the sum of $10, which he was to have paid for the Concord celebration, to the Post-D1s- PATCH Flood Fund, It would be an easy matter for the com- mittee having in charge the Concord en- terprise, now abandoned, to direct its energies and secure the funds which were to have been collected and used for this purpose to the great work of charity press- ing upon the people of this city. Weare confident that the citizens interested in the Concord plan would be willing to give as much for urgent charity as for a public entertainment. We Selieve that they are willing to do more and, with many others, will gladly join in liberal contributions to save the unfortunates, bereft of means of i | subsistence, from death by exposurt or | starvation. The reports from the districts inundated or in danger of inundation show that the need of relief is increasing rapidly. Piti- ful tales of suffering come from all of the overflow points. Families are driven from their homes to the high lands and knolls, where they are without shelter, sufficient clothing or food. The rains and high winds add to the suffering of the unfortu- nates. Delicate women, mothers with babes and children, are forced to sleep on the cold and wet ground, unsheltered from the elements and deprived of food. As the metropolis of the valley and the center of the submerged districts the re- sponsibility of relieving the immediate wants of these people rests largely with St. Louis, and her citizens should, and un- doubtedly will, meet the emergency with generous spirit. The money in the Posr- DISPATCH Flood Fund is being put to im- mediate use. This morning the author- ities of St. Charles, Alton, East St. Louis and Belleville were notified to draw upon the fund for the relief of the pressing wants of the distressed in their neighbor- hoods. In all, $600 were tendered to them. These sums afford mere temporary ease from the worst ills of the situation. The demands call for more and the responses should meet the demands. _--—- > e — —— — Ir was in spite of the MeKkinley tariff aw that the price of sugar fell soon alter ite adoption, but itis through it that the Sugar Trust is now enabled to force up the price. The McKinley tariff merely re- moved the tax on the raw and low grade sugar, and it was fondly imagined that the trust would share its benefite with the consumers. Asin the case of the manu- facturers and the wage-earners the trust does not propose to do anything of the kind, but is using its privileges under the tariff for its own exclusive profit. This has been the history of all discriminating leg- islation. The favorites take the fruits and the people bear the dcuble burden. This is practically admitted by Republican or- gans, which were loud in their praises of the sugar schedule when prices on it were lowered, but now that they are rising by reason of it are vigorously demanding a just revision in the interest of the people. — — — — Ir is a saddening reflection upon human nature that the misfortunes of some should be used by others as an opportunity for gain, but reports from the submerged dis- tricts show how greed and villainy will sometimes feed upon calamity and dis- tress. The poor people of the inundated lands are not only the victims of natural misfortune, but of man’s inhu- manity. It has been discovered that thieves are engaged in looting deserted | homes near this city, and that owners of teams and boats are charging Outrageous © | prices for resouing families and removing their stock and furniture to places of lbatety. Advantage is taken of their help- ; > ere winters ta ease’ | lessness to 5 them. Thus distress is piled upon distress and the need of charitable effort in their behalf is vastly inerpased. Tute Renan n are — a halt on the heavy appropriations of the -present Congress, not because they do not want the Deniocrats to be extravagant, but be- cause they do not want the results of their own extravagance brought out by the ex- posure of a deficit in the Treasury.

Wright, Chief of the Depckrtment of Labor, has just transmitted to President Harrisona comprehensive and exhaustive statistical report upon the com- parative condition of work and wages in the United States, Great Britain, Germany, Belgium and Switzerland. In the United States the average annual earnings Of a fam- ily in the cotton factories are $658; expenses, $611; net income, $47. In Great Britain the annual earnings ofa family in the same in- dustry are $556; expense, $502: net income, $54. In Germany the earnings are $302; ex- penses, $288; net income, $19. In France the earnings are $366; expenses, $334; net income, $32. In Switzerland the earnings are Fass; ex- penses, $347; net income, 311. In the highly protected woolen industries of this -country andinthe same industries in England the wages are lower than in the cotton manu- ‘factures, while in the iron and glass indus- tries they are higher. Buttherelations be- tween earnings andexpenses are much the same. In Germany the average earnings of a family in the woolen industries amount to $245 and the expenses to $282, leaving a deficit of $87 at the end of the year. While the ‘‘protected’’ workingman in a New England cotton factory has a surplus of at the end of the year, the victim of **pauper labor’’ in free trade England has a surplus of $54. Leaving out Of question the miserable con- dition of labor under the protective systems of Germany and France, and advocates of tariff spollation will find nothing to help their argumentin this comparison of industrial conditions in the United States and Great Britain. While the American cotton spinner works more hours, and produces more, he is able to save less than his unprotected rival in free trade England. The statistics of Mr. Wright show that while the workingman and his family inthe United States expend an- nually $9.36 for pleasures and recreations, the English workingman expends not less than $86.20 on the Same account. Ths Disinherited Astor. From the New York WORLD. The will of the late Wiillam Astor is inter- esting in many particulars, but in none is it more so than inthe severity with which the testator punishes the offense of his brother Henry. The offense Of Henry Astor consisted in con- tracting a lawful marriage with a young woman to whom he has ever since proved a good husband and who has been to him a faithfal wife. The wife of his choice be- longed to the same social rank as his grand father, whom he had been taught to respect —or perhaps toa rather higher one, as land- owning farmers rank higherthan peddlers, we believe; but her people did not associate with the generation to which he himself be- longed. For this offense he had already received sentence of disinheritance from his father, and his brother canfind no stronger terms with which to emphasize his condemnation than by saying that rather than have any of the family millions gotoenrich the offender he would be willingto seethem devoted to public purposes. Of course if Mr. Henry Astor had shown his respect for his family by merely seducing the daughter of his father’s gardener, and had turned the girl loose to drift down the decline of shame to misery and death, his right to social recognition would have been unsur- passed. His father would have treated him as a son, he would have been his brother’s equai, and his family might have contested for the palm of social supremacy in the Four Hundred. Really, when One conisiders the offense of Mr. Henry Astor and its punishment, the ways of the aristocracy of the dollar seem past understanding. Democracy’s Railroad Boss.

I am inclined to be- lieve the last figures given are too small; for iu the little cometery attached tothe Convent uf Picpus near by, 1315 victims are buried in an area thirty feet square—all of whom are supposed to have been executed in what is known as the Place de la Nation, On the zist of January, 1798, when Louis XVI. died, the guillotine was erected especial- ly for him, between the spot where tne Obelisk now stands and the entrance to the Champs Elysees, so that when the King mounted the scaffold, he looked over the pedestal of his grandfather’s statue to the center pavilion of his own devastated pal- ace.“ After the royal execution some authorities say that the gulllotine went back to the Place du Carrousel foratime; but we know it was in the Piace de la Concorde for the execution of Charlotte Corday on July 17, and for that of the twenty-nine Gir- ondist deputies, Oct. 1. Marie Antoinette died Oct, 16, 1793, and the guillotine had then become a fixture—rot being removed again until June of the followlig year. When the Queen suffered —and presumably before as well, as after- wards—the guillotine stood, not where Mrs. Hooper locates it: not far from the pres- ent site of the statue of Strasburg,’’ but on the eastern side of where now stands the Obelisk, between itand the entrance tothe Tuileries Gardens. From the many books and pictures I have examined, there is little doubt in my mind that the exact spot is twenty or twenty-five feet east ofthe iron railing which surrounds the Obelisk. There and nowhere else, in my opinion, was shed the blood of the daugnter of the Cesars,’’ Marie Antoinette; of ‘‘the daughter of the People, Manon Jeanne Phliipon Roland and of the Saint of the Revolution, Marie Pnilippine Elizabeth Helene, sister ‘of Louis XVI.

To the Editor of the Post- Dispatch: At the close of the Revolutionary war pi. iron was imported toa smallextent. A tari was put on pig iron and meses its importa- tion; a tarif’ was put on bar iron and it stopped its importation. Was the bar iron imported for fun? Was it imported for the workman to take home and let his children play with it? Decidedly, no. It was imported to be put in the shops to be worked up. Before we had any tariff we used to export large quantities of nalls and spikes, and the first effect of the tari’, small as it was, was to ruin the expor- tation of nails, and nails were imported, The protectionists of that day shouted: Good heavens! we are importing nails,’’ and the nall-makers rushed to Congress and vanes What we want is a duty on foreign nails.’’ They dla not see that what they heeded was to take the duty offof bariron. Congress put an extra duty on nails, and the importation of nails increased. More duty was clapped on and still the importation of nalls Was hot 8 ped. What they did stop was the expor- ation.

F ‘publication re- — The St. Louis Supply 15 Getting Very Low. A Famine Threatened If the Water] on Does Not Abate, * WHAT THE COAL DEALERS HAVE TO SAY. ABOUT THE SITUATION. Some Big Firms Did Not Receive a Bushel To-Day, and If the Water Keeps on Rising the Means of Transportation Will Be So Limited That Many Fac- tories Will Be Forced to Shut Down— Milk Souring in Illinois Stations. Besides the ordinary discomforts, annoy- ances and interruptions occasioned by the. flools, another danger now threatens be- fore which all others recede into very great insignificance. This peri) isthe widespread and perhaps general stoppage of the im- mense manufacturing system through a coal famine. Thereisno coal famindg*’ to-day, but there is an unmistakable shortage at most of the steam plants and with the dribbling supplies now coming over the river, a very few days, indeed, will see a shut-down of a majority of the coal using plants in the city. Very few of the manufac- turers have any stocks on hand, anda week’s storage of coal isa noteworthy exception to the hand to mouth’’ policy that prevails even among the largest manufacturers. Now, for several days past, an extremely limited amount has reached this side, and the con- sequence is that manufacturers are running on ‘‘short rations, and are confronted with the certainty of having to, let the fires go out unless there be a change in the situa- tion very soon. A visit to the leading coal merchants this afternoon disclosed the following state of facts, and elicited the following opinions: LOOKS MIGHTY BLUE. Mr. C. E. Wehner said: It looks mighty blue for coal to-day. We got a few cars over the Merchants’ Bridge yesterday, but have been unable to get any more 8. day. We have been able to supply our customers fairly well, but I can’t promise for the future. Our only’ reliance is the O. & M. If the O. & M. dyke holds we shall be able to keep our cus- tomers going, but if it breaks then a general shut down must follow. This predicament is occasioned by the way our Manu- facturers here buy their coal. They live from hand-to-mouth, and it would seem as if chery waited until the last shovelful was in tle furnace before they telephoned for more, and this habit keeps us on the go all the while. They ought to make prepara- tions to keep something like a stock of coal on hand for such an — eat d as this. Mr. Wehner added that he had coal enough on hand to keep his steam-users going for three or four days, provided the O. & M. dyke did not give away. DONK BROS.” SUUPLY LOW. Mr. EK. C. Donk of Donk Bros. said: We are down pretty low, and have been since last Monday. We t some Cars over last night over the Vandalia, O. & M. and L.

The factories must then generally shut down for none of them have any coal on hand to of. 2 Mr. Donk was talking with the re- rtera furniture manufacturer telephoned or a load of coal, How much have you how?’’ Not enough to build a ure, came the re- pl N. Now,“ said Mr. Donk, that illustrates what I Was telling you, that this ought to be a warning to the St. Louis manufacturers to arrange for the storage of at least a week’s supply of coal, so as not to have to shut down for lack of fuel, as they will now pretty surely be obliged todo. Most of ae, have scarcely twenty-four hours’ supply and this keeps the coal man on the anxio seat or keeps him hopping around to axe them. The fact is, that there is never in St. Louls more than a day’s supply of coal on hand. The coal mined to-day is brought here and sold to-morrow, for we have to hustle it off the car to save demurrage, but if all would keep a week’s supply the present peril would be avoided and the work ofthe coal merchant would be much more agree- able and easy.’’ Mr. Donk concluded with the remark that if the present rise continued to the stage that was yesterday predicted, not a pound of coal could come to this city from Illinois, DID NOT GET A BUSHEL. & Feuerborn’s Mr. Devoy was at At Dev Mullanphy street, looking after the foot o their immense stock of coke there, and Mr. Feuerborn was on the other side, seeing what could be done to get some coal over to The n of the firm a pound of as cay to-day St. Louis. said: We didn’t ge and haven’t a pound on hand, eneral famine is among the 1 are doing the best we can keep the steam go- ing, and are letting our private customers go.

J. C.

A story is told and it is a true story that over seventy per cent. of all the baking powders sold contain either alum or ammonia, and many of these powders contain both. The ill effects upon the system of food raised by alum or ammo- nia powders are the more dangerous because of their insidious character. It would be less dangerous for the people were it fatal at once, for then such food would be avoided, but their baneful action because imperceptible at first and slow in its advances, is no less certain.

Fifteen Bodies Seen Floating Away at One Place— The Waters Subsiding— Millions of Dollars Lost by the Catas- trophe—Railway Travel Impeded in Nebraska— Tracks Washed Out in Iowa — Logging Interests Endangered at Minneapolis. — Sioux City, Io., May 19.— According to the latest telegrams the flood has been even more disastrous in its results than was at first an- ticipated. The estimates as to the loss of life vary from 60 to 100. No list of the dead can be given. Infact the terrorized people have sought refuge in so many quarters that itis impossible to exactly judge what the number on the death roll will be. Some he- roic scenes were witnessed in the attempts to save the unhappy victims. At the Omaha bridge the West family met disaster. Mrs. West and her little 5-year-old girl were unable to get away from the flood in time. The father and two children were safe, andthe rescuing purty was returning for Mrs. West and her child when the waves swept the house away. They floated down with the roaring current until the bridge was reached. An engineer succeeded in saving the woman. Her strength failed her and she was compelled to relinquish her hold on her child. Witha despairing cry of ‘‘Mamma!’’ the child disappeared beneath the waves. At the manufacturing suburb of Leeds, nine persons are known to be drowned. Four were drowned at Springdale. Observers on the high bridge counted fifteen bodies that swept under it. Matt Roe, an old sailor, saved twenty-eight lives. A woman who managed to wadeto a box-car gave birth to a child, and two hours later was rescued. A woman named Hinton and three children were drowned in their own house, Two Swedish families were swept away. The City Council has subscribed $5,000 for the relief of the sufferers, and the citizens are engaged in making large donations. The gas works and electric light plant are under water and the city was in darkness last night. Citizens nave thrown open their houses and barns, and the churches will be opened if necessary to shelter the homeless multitude. The scene at the stock yards is almost in- describable. The rush of waters came down across the bottoms at 10:30 o’clock ; the over- flow of the river at first flowed out on the east banks. Solid blocks of hog pens were seen swaying with the motion of the wind and waves and in a short time they began moving down stream. At 11 o’clock there was not a sign of a hog yard left. The large corn cribs, containing several thousand bushels of corn, were also carried away. Scale bouses and all the bulldings were taken with the fiood. The cattle yards at the time mentioned above were mostly intact, but the south portion was flooding with the evident possibility that it would soon follow the hog pens and sheds. About three loads of hogs were all confined in the hog yards. Two double decks were detained last night by the washouts. The elevated chutes from Division No. 3 to the old Booge plant, into which quite a number of cattle had been driven, collapsed on the washing away of the supports, and most of the cattle drowned. The great fiood is a thing of the past except in the mourning homes where death entered. The water has reached 80 inches and the work of repairing damage is already under way. The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul road got out the only train which left the city yester- day and that went to Dakota. The Illinois Central has several miles of wash-outs. The Sioux City & Northern is also badly burt. All other roads entering here suffer more or less. The number of lives lost cannot yet be stated. A BECOND JOHNSTOWN. The latest developments show the flood to have been almost a Johnstown dis- aster. Estimates place the loss at about $4,000,000. The packing interest and stock yards lose $1,000,000; the railroads $1,000 andthecity and individuals $2,000, - . Nearly $200,000 worth of cedar block was destroyed, being torn up and carrie’ away by the flood. The Floyd River was almost back to banks at noon to-day, and hundreds are returnin to their homes, which they were compelle to abandon yesterday. Scores of the houses were swept from their foundations and others were badiy wrecked. The damage to movablesis large where they were not floated off. Fifty or sixty re. tail stores on the low ground were destroyed or badly damaged. Near the Floyd the river cutacross a bend and scooped out a great channel, N in about lower Eighth street. All the houses but a very few in that vicinity were utterly wiped out. The railroads and the stock yards will suffer the greatest individual losses. Few bodies have been recovered as yet, and it is doubtful if they willever be found. The following is a list of those who are given up as lost so far as known at i o’clock this after- noon: Nellie West. Mrs. Louis E. Homer. A. Anderson, wife and child. N. Henderson, wife and child. A. F. McLarren. Wm. Stone. Wim, Rose. Mrs. Louise Homer’s two children. Mrs. Frank Luther and child, A year old son and 7-year-old daughter of K. Meonard. Seorge Cox, a child of 4. George ©. Miller. Aaron Johnson. Andrew Anderson. Robert Harney. Frank Henderson, wife and child. Two unknown boatmen. Mrs. H. Fick and Mrs. Peter Rasmussen and two children. Six unknown men. Searching parties to look for dead bodies began work early this morning, but at noon the authorities report only three bodies re- ceived and identified. One is that of Peter Anderson, engineer of Sioux City and Northb- ern Found , and Mrs. Frank Henderson and child of Leeds. The child was found clasped in the mother’sarms. A great many will re- turn to their homes to-night, but on the streets nearer the river this will be impossi- ble. Everywhere the houses remain. AT, KANSAS CITY.

The Assessment Committee presented its report and Rev. Wm. Short of St. Peter’s Church objected to the assessment of $500 against his congregation. He said that a mistaken impression had gotten abroad that his was a wealthy parish, whereas the opposite was the case and they were in financial’ straits trying to build larger quarters. Hb moved that the assess- ment be cut down Dr. Robert seconded it and said Holy Communion would take the extra $50 on their shoulders. Some discussion followed and Rev. Ff. B.

CHANGE OF. FRONT. — — —— Salisbury’s Speech a Surprise to Brit- ish Free Traders. CHARACTERIZED AS A SCHEME BY THE “TIMES,” Other London Papers Ridicule the New Policy of the English Premier—It Will Assist the Liberals to Power — Four Duels in Paris—The Hurlburt Case — Foreign News. 7 Lowpon, May 19.—Lord Salisbury’s Has- tings speech has produced a decided sensa- tion in political circles. It is regarded asa direct change of policy onthe partof the present government onthe question of free trade. Lord Salisbury declared that despite the prophesies of the freetrade advocates, foreign nations are adopting protection, They are excluding us from their markets and are trying to kill our trade. And this state of things appears to grow worse. We live in an age of wartariffs. Another important point is that while nations are negotiating to ob- tain each other’s commercial favor, none is anxious about the favor of Great Britain, be- | cause Great Britain has stripped herself of thearmor and weapons with which the bat- tle isto be fought. The attitude which we have taken in regarding it as disloyal to the glorious and sacred doctrines of free trade to levy duties on anybody forthe sake of any- thing we get thereby, is not business-like. [Cheers. ] anything. this conflict of tariffs you must be prepared to refuse nations who injure you according to | your markets. COMMENTS OF THE PRESS. The Daily News, commenting on the speech at Hastings, ridicules what it terms the Speaker’s views on protection by halves, andadds: ‘‘If protection is beneficial farm- ers are equally entitied with manufacturers to be protected. If Mr. Goschen had any backbone he would resign to-morrow.’’ The Chronicle says: ‘‘The Giadstonians ought devoutly to pray Lord Salisbury to de- liver a series of addresses until the brink of the election. Fair trade is the inclined plane which has led European countries like the Gadarene swine into the sea of absolute pro- hibition. We should not be surprised to hear that this speech brought about the dissolu. tion of the Unionist alliance. It will certainly modify the country’s belief in Lord Salis- bury’s statesmanship.’’ The Standard says: ‘‘Lord Salisbury’s re- marks on free trade will be a surprise, even to many of his followers. The facts he men- tioned are susceptible of otner interpreta- tions than those he placed upon them. He would have acted more prudently by omit- ting this portion of his speech.’’ The Telegraph commends Lord Salisbury’s courage in braving misrepresentation by boldly speaking his thoughts on an important question. The Times says: Lord Salisbury’s lop-sided scheme would involve us in angry conflicts and leave the most serious part of the wrong untouched. Itisa mere dream to suppose that a war of reprisals against a few of the protectionist countries allowing the others to go scot free, would have any chance of acceptance in Great Britain, or that a serious proposalin that direction would not give rise toa bitter prolonged conflict, imperiling the unity of the Conservative party and the Unionist alliance, Itisto be regretted that Lord Salisbury thought it expedient to touch the subject, THE IRISH QUESTION. The other portion of Salisbury’s speech was devoted to the Irish question. Fighting Mr. Gladstone, he said, was like a combat witha ghost or like a chapter from Alice in Wonderland.“ First there was a verdict, then the address of the prosecuting counsel, and lastly, the judges’ summing up. The speaker character- ized it as imbecility to compare Canada with Ireland, The former, he said, is united with England by ties of heart and sentiment. Ireland has a long and sad history of conflict and bitterness and is deeply divided by religion, race and character. Continuing, Lord Salisbury said thatthe amount of wrath that his recent speech had evoked was an indication of the sensitiveness ofthe conscience he had touched. Sir VII- liam Harcourt’s jokes and Lord Roseberry’s imprecations would not dispel danger. It was ridiculousto say that a warning of dan- ger was to ereate it. The speaker then read a strong protest from non-Episcopal minis- ters in Ireland against Gladstonian home rule, declaring that priestly influence would be paramount in Dublin parliament, and would be certain to lead tocivil war. This, he said, was most important testimony. They could not be accused of sympathy with the present English Government. FOUR DUELS. SWORD COMBATS SETTLE A DISPUTE—PARISIAN NOTES. PARIS, May 18.—A qnadruple encounter with swords was fought this morning by M. Roules and three others named Leclere, Dumoulin aud Blondet. The quarrel arose out of a dispute concerning the merits of the new opera ‘‘Salammbo.’’ Roules criticised the piece rather severely during the evening in hearing of Leclere, Dumoulin and Blondet, and a violent altercation took place, ending inanexchange of biows. At9 o’clock this morning the antagonists and their seconds went to a spot behind the grand-stand at the Long Champs race course. The first duel was fought by M. Roules and M. Blondet, who, after a few passes, received a wound in the right lung three inches deep, and was carried off the fleld. M. Dumoulin then faced M. Roules, who at the first thrust ran his rapier through the arm of his opponent burying the steel in his breast. The third combat was more pro- longed, butaftera struggle of fifteen min- utes M. Leclere was driven against a tree and received a woundin the face. M. Averag- net, M. Blondet’s second then interposed on pehalf of the vanquished friend declaring himself ready to fight M.Roules and threaten- ing toslap his face if satisfaction was not given upon which M. Roules promptly faced his new adversary and succeeded in wounding him in the neck, narrowly missing inflicting a mortal injury. The quadruple encounter was over by 9:80 and all parties returned to Paris. About fifty people were assembled at the scene of the edcounter which will in future be famous in the annals of French duelling. M. Blondet’s wound causes great anxiety. E. P. Deacon, whose trial for killing M. Abeille will soon begin has surrendered him- self to the authorities at Nice.

He said that in proportion to her population Ireland should have 83 representatives and not 101 as at present.

BupAPrsru, May 19.—In the Reichstag to- day a bitter controversy was raised over the question whether the State should bury at its own expense with public honors the Hungar- lan hero, the late Gen.

Denison, Tex., May 19.—A reign of terror has held sway in Denison since Tuesday night. Three women lie dead, while the fourth is sorely wounded. There exists ab- solutely no clew to the perpetrators of the diabolical acts. The first murder was that of Mrs. Hattie G. Haynes, wife of Dr. W. F. Haynes. The murder occurred at 10:20 p. m. Tuesday and the body was not found until an hour later. Mrs. Haynes, in company with her mother, Mrs. J. D. Gardner, and a little niece, attended an entertainment at the Woodard street Methodist Church Tuesday night, while Dr. Haynes, in company with a number of prominent citizens was present at the Elks’ initiat which took place at the Odd Fe When the church entertainment was closed Mrs. Haynes mother and niece took a rapid transit train for home, arriving there about 10:20. The Haynes and Garner residences are in the same park and, on reaching the gate. Mrs. Haynes remarked as she saw a light in her residence, thatshe was glad the doctor was home, and walking with her mother to her parents’ hame. left for her residence, which ts only about sixty feet to the south. What followed canonly be 322. for that was the last seen ot her alive. few minutes after leaving her — Mrs. Haynes was heard to scream by Mr. and Mrs. Garner and niece, as they were the only known persons about the premises, and rushing over to her residence, the rooms were found brilliantly Mghted, but no one near. Suddenly pistol shots rang out upon the alr in a southwest direction from the house, Fearful of the worst, Mr. Gar- ner the house, could sound, He gave to a neighbor who resides in the Litzinger residence a few hundred yards away. A search with lanterns was instituted in the woods and pasture south of the house. The alarm soon spread and the search was prosecuted by about half a dozen Citizens and in something like an hour and a half Mr. W. W. Bostwick discov- ered the body about 300 feet from the house at the foot ofa very rugged hill, The body was found lying face up with a bullet hole scuare between the eyes. The face was powder blackened and burned, while the en- tire rear portion of the head was torn a: way Po the buliet. Another bullet had made a iastiy wound in the breast and plowed its way through the body. Robbery was the in- tention. ‘ihetamily only consisted of man and wife. The act was boldly committed. A screen which protected a window had been cut and easy access gained. ‘The burglar had lit the lamp and was surprised by the tady’s appearance. ithe seream demonstrated her surprise and fears and then the lady was knocked senseless, picked vp, carried into the woods and killed, No other motive is assigned but robbery, as on her lel hand third finger she had worn a diamon ring, the finger being broken as the ring was torn off, The announcement of the murder created intense excitement, and ere an hour fully 1,000 armed men wereat thescene. No clue was left to work up. Shortly after the sheriff with bloodhounds came up, but the dogs could not find the trail, While searching parties were engaged in the hunt for the murderer of Mrs. Haynes about 12:80 two pistol shots in rapid succes- sion were heard in front of the bagnioof Mme. Lester, and Maud Kreamer an inmate of the house, tell back in the chair in which she Was sitting, mortally wounded with two bullet holes through the body just below the waist.

Owing tothe darkness a glimpse of him who did the shooting was denied the occupants of the room. Confusion about the house reigned, and before the physician had finished ressing the wounds a man dash into the rear of the house and exclaimed: Rose Stewart has been assassinated in her room at the house on the hill.“ Sure enough, inanother bagnio on Oraw- ford street lay Rose Stewart, an inmate, upon a bed, bleeding from a wound that had been inflicted by a pistol bullet passing through her body. The shot that struck her had been fired through a window, which was shaded onthe inside by a@ lace curtain, while the woman was standing before 4 dresser. The physician hurried to the woman's assistance and found that a 45-caliber bullet had passed through der right lung, then entirely through her body. There confusion reigned, and before the now terrified inhabitants could realize the cause, another report came of the murder of Miss Florestine Hawley. In a little brick house at 207 West Morton street was lying an- other victim of the assassin’s work, Miss Hawley, aged 20. The detatls of this terrible deed are about as follows: Miss Hawley and sister were awakened about 8:30 a. m. and discovered that some one was in the room, and later the intruder came over and sat down on the bed rail. Miss Hawley reached out and caught the man by the wrist. By the dim light in the room she saw a pistolin one hand anda knife inthe other. She screamed out, and the man commanded her to hush upon pain of death. She begged him to not ih them: that she would turn over all the valuables in the house to him if he would spare them. He said: ‘*‘Be still, for already three women have been Killed in town to-night, and you will make the fourth.’ A nolse in another room frightened the man and he started to run. Both ladies were terribly frightened and sprangout of bed, the man turned and fired his pistol bac« into the room, but the bullet new wide and buried itself in the brick wal of the opposite side of the room, The ladies by this time were almost in hysterics,and Miss Florentine Hawley ran into her mother’s room and sat down by the old lady. She put her arms around her daughter and attempted to peony her. While in this attitude the pisto g out again, and through the wire screen across the window came a bullet from the outside. It struck Miss Bawier 3 just below the right shoulder blade and pie »wed a ghastly wound through her body, e fell forward and was a corpse instantly. The shooting aroused the neighbors, and Mr, Alex Derr ees who lives next man in the back yard of oy Hawley rest: dence. The man ran out of the rear gate and Tom Cutler, who was also awakene * the shooting, saw the man run down alley, There is absolutely no clew, and the entire matter is veiled in darkness. Noone can surmise a cause for such a dastardly act, and the officers are simply working at random, The entire city is in arms, and in case the as- sassin is caught he would be hung instanter. | © Ir you have never used Fairbank’s Clafrette Laundry Soap, try it next wash day.

E BASE BALL RAGE|® the Various Teams Have Made Up to Date. THE BROWNS NOT IN IT, . NOT EVEN FOR A MINUTE. Boston and Brooklyn Leading With Ohi- cago Coming Fast-—Willie MoGill’s Mother Wants Her Darling Boy Shipped Home—Winnings of the Lead- 7. ing Stables at Guttenburg. The base ball season has now been in fall blast a little over a month. As was expected, Boston has made a splendid showing. Possessing as they do four first- Class pitchers and as une a fielding team as was ever organized, the Beaneaters have been winning games consistently. Nichols Das been doing the best work in the box for the coming champions, as they are now re- ferred to, although Stivetts, Clarkson and Staley have also been pitching winning games. Charley Ganzel has been doing most of the -catching for the club. Mike Kelly and Charley Bennett are both Stick pet, especially the latter. He ‘was left at home by Manager Selee when the club came out West. The outfield, which isthe strongest in the country, has more than realized expectations. Lowe,who was retained asa general utility man has showed up extremely well, especially at third, where he has been playing during Nash’sabsence. Brooklyn, notwithstanding the absence of two of its dest piten- Lovett, has been ball. Billy Hart, Sioux Oity last season, is doing the best work in the box for the club. Dave Foutz is however, showing up extremely well. While out West the Club suffered severely by the absence of Griffin, O’Brien and Burns, all of whom were nursing severe injuries, yet they made a remarkably good showing. They have just opened up at home and will continue there for some time. With Haddock and Lovett, Ward ought to and undoubtedly will make a splendid showing. Fred Pfeffer has been getting some remark- ably fine work out of the Louisville Colonels, notwithstanding the fact that they were universally looked upon as strong candidates for one of the tall end positions, the club jumped in at the start and has been keeping well to the front. Young Jones, who was discovered by Man- ager Chapman last fall, has been doing clever work in the box for the club. Scott Stratton and Meekin have also been pitching in winning games. The catching of Grimm, Fred Pfeffer’s work at second and at the bat and Tom Browns’ work in center field have all been good. The club, however, is outclassed and will not retain its present good position. Pat Tebeau has at last rounded up his Cleveland Spiders and they have been playing in superb form the past two weeks. The work of Pitchers Young, Davies and Ouppy has more than realized expectations, as bus also the catching of Jack O’ nor. Davis, who has succeeded McKean, 0 18 laid up at present, at short, is playing in good form. His stick work has also pleased the Cleveland management, and McAleerand Burkett are both doing clever work in the outfield. K Capt. Anson’s Chicago Colts seems at last to have struck their gait. For the first tew weeks the team made a miserable showing, but of late they have been playing together with much success. Canavan, who replaced Fred Pfeffer, has pleased Anson dy his work both in the field and with the stick. Dahlen’s work at third and the hitting of Dungan, the new rigthfielder, have been the features of the club’s work sofar. The Chi- cagos are beating everything that comes along at present, and are bound to be heard from in the race. Notwithstanding the nu- merous difficulties he has bad to encounter, Charley Comiskey has made a splendid show- ing with his Cincinnati Reds. Any other club would have been „— 1 Har- rington-Rhines and Burke and Harrington- McGill episodes. Comiskey, however, has been handling the team with a stron hand, and the cranks in the Ohio metropolis have by this time come to the conclusion that Commy is determined that no such happenings as those which ruined the Browns last season will be again allowed tooccurin any aggre- gation he is handling. One of the features of the Cincinnati Club’s paying has been the work of Catcher Morgan urphy. Catcher Jerry Harrington, who used to be the club’s premier back-stop, has been catching drinks. Pittsburg has been doing some good work, and as they never had any idea of winning the pennant, their present work propabiy suits the smoky City cranks. Harry Wright's boys, who represent the sleepy old Eastern Pennsylvania metropolis in the League, were looked upon as possible pennant winners. At sent, however, they are battling with St. uls and Baltimore for the tail end tion. While the team has put upan ex- mely strong fielding game, it has been badly handicapped by poor pitching. Thorn- ton, who pitched fair ball last season, turned out a complete failure this season, and Harry Wright was compelled to release him. Es- per, Keefe and Garsey have also failed to realize expectations. Gus Weyhing is the only pitcher the club possesses who has managed to hold his own, Clements has been doing most of the Dack- stop work for the Glub and doing it well. Cross, his ass tant, has been 8 hanty and Hallman’s positions, hom especially the former, have been laid upa great deal this season. New York’s work has also failed to realize — are now in circula- the pitching. Washington, since Arthur Irwin Feplaced Barnie as manager, has since showed u e firs Killen and Knell are both tching first-class form, and 33 y and Richardson have distin club continue its pre a respecable position at the close of the — — 2 Work, which However mn they desire to continue in the ea wag Dall as the 4 eve. will never paaceed ay ns but ruptcy. „ can be said of the Brown ey will have to be strengthened, and it = ave to be done immediately or it ‘will be The prediction anak by the Post- n, he former, with other club standing any , is being fulfilled.

Old man Galvin seems to be weakening under the strain. Pitcher George Meekim, late of Chicago, has signed with Rochester. Milwaukee has the heaviest batting infield in the Western Association. It’s s rising, but true, that Chicago crowds dislike Anson heartily. Hardie Richardson has made but three errors since joining New Tork. Pittsburg is said to be $15,000 ahead in the receipts over last season at this time. Despite the rainy weather in April, all the clubs are ahead of last season’s business. There is a — deal of complaint about the poor ball nished by Spalding & Bros. The only —— and his Chicago Colts, who are already making Boston and brooklyn hustle, will be here to-morrow. Hutchison, Dahlen, Ryan, Canavan, Cooney Wilmot, Schriever, Kittredge and Gumbert will all be here to-morrow with Anson. Anson has released his old third-baseman, Tommy Burns, tothe Pittsburg Club. Burns Will manage, captain and cover third-base forthe Pirates. Manager Buckenberger will be retained as financial manager of the aggregation. President Stucky of the Louisville Club stated yesterday that he was in favor of some lan that would compel the strong teams of he big League to assist the weaker clubs by turning over to the latter some of the strong players they are carrying on their pay rolls and not utilizing. The Louisville magnate’s idea is causine considerable favorable com- ment. Should the plan be adopted the sport would become more profitable in the weaker —— and consequently under the percentage stem, which is now in force, benefit every C ub in the League.

Some of the rich stables running under the management of the Board of Control will not be abie to make so good showings when the season closes. LARGE PRICES FOR ROADSTERS.

Although Zaldivar is regarded as the bestiof the California %8-year-olds here there are many hints that Ulster is his superior. Cali- fornia turfmen say that Ulster is a much-im- proved colt and will beat anything in his class. Herald, astable companion, is show- ing well. Both colts belong to the Antrim stable.
