Burnett, Chairman of the Inde­ pendent Executive Committee of Copiah County, testified that during the campaign last fall several colored men had been killed, others shot and whipped, and other­ wise roughly handled, and the election tickets of the Independents sent for distribution taken from them and destroyed by bands of armed Democrats. Witness said he was as­ saulted and shot by a prominent Democrat, and was warned to leave the county. He went to Washington in December and saw Senators Hoar, Frye, and Sherman, and gave them the names of intimidated and outraged Itepublican?. Upon cross-examination by Senator Saulsbury, witness admitted that.the difficulty in which he was shot was a personal and not a political one, and that he first drew a knife and stabbed his adversary before receiving the shot from him. Mrs. Matthews, widow , of J. P. Matthews, and her three daughters, ranging in age from 16 to 20 years, said they knew of no reason other than politics for the killing' of their husband and father. A negress named Wal­ lace, told how a body of armed men came to the house of her husband, Tom Wallace, and killed him in the presence of herself and her children. Handy Footner, the next witness, testified as to how a body of men came to his house, ostensibly in search of horse- thieves, and larruped him with a grass rope until he promised to vote the Democratic ticket. A number of other negroes regaled the committee's ears with stories of bull­ dozing, intimidation, and outrage.

That this House has beard with deep regret of the death of the eminent German statesman, Eduard Lasker. a. That his loes is not alone to be mourned bv the people of his native land, where his firm and constant exposition of and devotion to free Mid liberal ideas have materially advanced the social, political, and economic condition of 8- /kat a copy of these resolutions be for- wsrdedto ths family of the deceased as well as to the Minister of the United State* resident at the capital of the German Empire, to be by him communicated torpngh the legitimate channel to the maiding officer of the legislative body of which he was a member. These resolutions have been returned by Prince Bismarck to the German Minister at Washington, with a counter request that he return them to the American Congress, asthe position of Lasker in Germany was not such as to justify the resolution. Bismarck olaima that a "high political principle" formed the basis of his action in this matter. The Lon­ don Timet, commenting upon the insolence of the German autocrat, says: 'One thing la certain. We have not heard the last of the Lasker incident. The Americans are much too proud, too sensitive, and too independent for that." It is believed at Washington unless the State Department chooses to pur* sue a course of pusillanimity that aball cover tbc American name with disjrraoe the world over, this matter will lead to grave Inter­ national complications. A LARGE quantify of powder on the top floor of the hardware store of Hobbs, Osborn ft Hobbs, at London, Ontario, ex­ ploded. The roof was blown thirty feet in the air. One man was killed and two others were fatally injured. ON the question of the return of the Lasker resolutions. Congressman Heed, of Maine, insists that it is the Reichstag, and not Congress, that has been insulted by Bis­ marck; that the document was sent to the Reichstag, and if Bismarck does not deliver the message the Reichstag should move in the matter. A great discussion has been caused by the incident in the Germaa jour- na'-S. KNUCMN. THE communication from Bismarck to Van Risendecker direotiog the return tQ TEE birthday of George Washington was oommemorated in Chicago by a general suspension of oommercial and financial busi­ ness and a parade by the mltttia. The old settlers of Milwaukee bad a banquet at the Klrby Rouse, with speeohes by Sen. Fair- child and Horace Bublee. Gov. Bobineon bold a reception in the Capitol at Washington, whioh was attended by over 5,000 persons. T^he Board of Education of Omaha, Neb., re­ fused to sanction the closing of the schools in honor of the day, causing a good deal of comment in the city. The ball given by Min­ ister Sargent, at Berlin, in hon& of the great patriot's birthday, was attended by 200 Amer­ icans. At Paris a banquet was given by the Stanley Club, sixty guests being present. THE miners of Colorado anfl the Black Hills are represented as flocking tothe Coeur d'Alene discoveries in Idaho.

Four saw mills and a telephone line are now under construction A party of cowboys rode Into Blsbee, Ari­ zona, the flth of December last and shot such of the citizens as happened to be on the streets With some difficulty six of the mis­ creants were arrested and brought to trial. Five of them were sentenced to be hanored in March, and the sixth condemned to life im­ prisonment. The latter was taken from jail at Tombstone the other day and banged to a telegraph poife by a great concourse of pioneers. THE detectives of Chicago, after many days of investigation, arrested Neil McKaigue on suspicion of murdering Mr. and Mrs. Wlllson, the aged couple who were so horribly butchered in their bome at Win- netka, a suburb of Chicago. Mo- Kalgue is the proprietor of a meat shop. When the crime was dlscovored he told a story about Mr. Wlllson coming to his shop the evening of the murder and telling him (McKaigue) that he wanted an extra fine steak and chops for supper and breakfast, as he was expecting an all-night guest. Sus­ picion almost from the first has rested upon this butcher as the real author of the foul deed. THE Soudan rebels have scored another sucoess in the capture of Tokar. The garrison was evidently at their mercy. There was no Egyptian army to help them, and the expedition organised for their relief by the Enxlish moved too slow to be of any service. Fortunately no massacre occurred, as the surrender was regularly negotiated between the garrison and the rebels.... Queen Victoria gave her sanction to the ai> pointment of a royal commission on dwell­ ings of the poor. The Prince of Wales ad­ dressed the House of Lords on the subject, and called attention to the condition of the laborers on his Norfork estates Parneil's amendment, condemning the Govern­ ment's policy in Ireland, was rejected, 81 to 30 in the English House of Commons....

A History of the Flood, 1 to h-V Its Biae frivelwi efttfce awmntate roafsof #est. ern Penasylvmnia hdtfed at MM «rst Son on Monday evening, Feb. 4, to avoftltoxposure to a misty ratnffcil. Two days before the tem­ perature had risen tp a point among the 60s. A soft wind name from the north and had brought lowering clouds that hung Just above the taller trees on the mountains. Tiny streams crept out from under the snow and trickled over the roads, down through the gulleys, growing larger, and swifter, and fiercer as they went. The eaves of the old inns were buried all of that night carrying away the rainfall that grew In its volume until in the morningtbe traveler regretted that he bad stopped. The thawing snow-water flowed across the roads in larger streams, the black earth was showing beneath the hemlock, and the paths were covered with slippery ice. It was many hours until the slightest change occurred in the situation. Then the wind veered to the east and increased the rainfall. The temperature rose still higher, and t£gL enow disappeared from the ledges to join tw torrent of mad waters that rolled down every mountain side into the valleys of the Alle­ gheny and Monongahela Rivers. At Pittsburgh, Wheeling, and all the lesser points as far south as Parkersbui-g, the water gauges marked a rise of 10 inches an hour, and rlveruen predicted the greatest flood that bad been known for years. Traffic was soon abandoned over tbe McKeesport and Youghiogheny Railroad, and the Lake Erie line reamed Its Pittsburgh termination only by passing over flooded tracks. Other lines were delayed, and the Baltimore and Ohio reported numerous washouts north of Connellsvllle., The low land on the south side of Pittsburgh was soon submerged, and tbe people, abandoning their homes, sought shelter in the churches and public' halls of the city. The ice be­ came gorged at West Newton, in the Alle­ gany Klver, Jtnd, after massing for four days, was brtifcen by the backwater. It was impelled with great force down the stream, and swept everything before it, leaving in its oourse on the banks a miscellaneous mass of dismantled houses, furniture, logs, hay, and dead animals. The gorge reformed at McKeesport and blocked the flow of water. The mountain streams grew in turpridlty, and the Monongahela waa filling the banks of the Ohio when the gorge broke again, and when Wheeling awoke on the morning of Feb. 8 the water gauges indicated a level of 36 feet. One-half of the city was submerged, and thousands of people fled from their homes to the higher ground. The river rose at the rate of a foot an hour until 6 p. m., when the gauges indicated 44 feet 9 inches. The rise continued until Feb. 7, when 52 feet, the highest point, was attained. In the meantime, Wheeling Island, with a population of 4,500, had been surrendered to the waters, and the people who were rescued in boats were \jeing ted in churches and pub­ lic halls by the relief committees. Messages burdened with pitiful stories of disasters to property and life came from Bellaire, Bridgeport, West Wheeling, Martin's Ferry, Fulton, Wellsburgh, Benwood, Mounds- vilie, and many small hamlets, showing that within a radius of fifteen miles there were 20,000 homeless people, whose losses aggregate many millions of dollars. £ome of tbe places were wholly under water, and in West Wheeling not a house could be in­ habited. The river bad swollen from 600 feet to a mile and a quarter and whirled violently along a mass of debris, among which the ap­ pearance of water was only incidental. In Wheeling many streets containing tho finest residences were navigable by steamboats, and through them ooursed a constant flow of driftwood, at the rate of five miles an hour. The 8uflei Ing became greater than the peo­ ple oould alleviate, and at a mass meeting in Wheeling Congress was asked to give a relief fund of (1,000,000. The people claim to have the assurance of their Congressional delega­ tion that they will get $500,000. Four days after the disasters at Fittsburgh and Wheel­ ing, the river attained flfty-four feet, its highest point, at Parkereburg, but receded before much damage had been done. In the meantime a constant rainfall was melting the snow throughout the Ohio Valley and sending torrents of water into the tribu­ tary streams, so that the river at Cincinnati had risen oi» Feb. 6 to 61 feet and was still by like relenttoet waUti e dtp: "Thevattveftre * tb« ttMnSft erf mSSR& coming up^MMte rate of 4 inches an hour. Tbe levee Wag submerged, and then the water line began to creep up the hill. Business men In the lower street* carried their goods to the high stories of their buildings, and the peo­ ple who lived between Second street and the river piled their household goods on high ground where the men took turns at stand­ ing in the rain to guard them from piracy. The families found shelter in the churches and public balls. On Feb. 7 the rain had ceased and the river was stationary, but it was flowing through that part of the city bciow Second street and at points reached Eighth street, being within 600 feet of the Burnet House. The suspen­ sion bridge was reached by boats, the gas burned dimly in the street", the people were warned to use but little water, relief com­ mittees went to work, and tbe City Comp­ troller was authorized by the Legislature to borrow $50,000 for the relief of the people. On the morning of Feb. 8 the outlook was less hopeful. At Pittsburgh the river was fall­ ing. but it was coming up from I'arkersburg and below at the rate of half an inch an hour. The waterworks were flooded and stopped with a supply of five days for domestic use; Newport and Covington called for aid; the militia was put on police duty, and relief boats plied through the flooded parts, visiting those who were imprisoned in the upper stories of their homes. On the 10th the flood of 1888 was surpassed, and the gas went out, leaving the city at the mercy of thieves and fire. The Signal Service had given two warnings of the approach of a cold wave, which never came. People returned to the uee of candles, and the Bee Line Koad, one of the last to hold out, was forced to stop at the stock yards, three miles out of the city. On the next day the Bee Line and Dayton roads were abandoned, and the city was left to depend on the Cincin­ nati Northern, which being a narrow gauge, vould not grant the courtesy of its tracks to other lines. The climax was attained Feb. 15, when the gauges Indicated upward of 72 feet of water. Tbe river then came up to Pearl street on Vine, and was running through the second story of all the First street houses. The loss of property at Cincinnati, Is im­ mense. The foundations of many brick buildings were sapped by the treacherous wasers, causing them to tumble to pieces. In one instance a boarding house tumbled down and ten of the inmates were crushed to death. A dispatch from that city says that although the worst and most annoying features of the flood are almost, over, yet the sqperlng of the Cr and the distressed will last for weeks. i p«op'c who have lost their all will not recover from their losses for a long time, and the real suOering will not begin until the waters recede and the refugees return to their ruined homes and cheerless firesides, The damage hi Mill Creek bottoms, among the manufactories and distilleries, is im­ mense, and beyond what was expected. In Newport a frightful picture of destruction is made visible as tbe water recedes. So ter­ rible, indeed, is the wreck that many who onee possessed a little home turn away In despair and become almost frantic at the sight. Destruction, rum, and debris meet tbe eye everywhere." The river towns that are suburban to Cin­ cinnati sutfercd a-great lose. Lawrcnceburg, Ind., Ie one of these. It stands at the base of the hills at the junction of the Miami and Ohio rivers, its buildings are low and are built on ground of about one level. The losses It experiences are greater than they would be if there was a place for relief. The water in tbe river rose as it did at Cincinnati. The people began to move out of the houses closest to the river, on Feb. 5, and a few families located in tbe upper stories of the Court House, where they found shelter last year, and were cared for by boats which rowed to the second-story win­ dows. On Feb. 6 the streets were afloat, and Indianapolis had been called on to keep the Kiple from starving. Tho waters were her than in the flood of 1883. On Feb. 7 the Miami levee broke and the river surged through the city, washing away many houses. For many days the ohanges were only for the worse. Dense fogs hovered over the little city, and channels were cut through the streets, taking away many adjacent houses. The people moved into cabins and improvised bouses on the hill-tops. A landslide cut off tbe railroad approaches, and the nearest point whejre relief oould be sent In large quantities was ft* miles distant. It was conveyed from there to tbe people by means of wagons. It is computed that tbe losses at Lawrenoe- )>urg are not less than $500,000. A wrought fated little surety receding, and burg feel that their reached a climax, and Aat alxri dawning, though aa the muddy their monuments of toeekoi ruin rise In all their terrible ghasUlnesa, revealing a picture of dseolatton andwo that ^ to the stoutest heart iM teareyie eyes unused to weeping.

In Lawrenoeburg the wheels of her manu­ factories are silent and the water glories in Its triumph as it ebbs and flows over and through her deserted and desolate buildings. Asthe wafer gives way the extent of tbe damage can be more accurately ascertained. The city will suffer much by reason of the obstruction of her levees and the damage to her streets and sidewalks, while tbe loss to individual citizens can hardly be estimated. Probably balf a million dollars would not moretban replace Laweenoeburg and her citizens as she was before the flood. The real work'of her citizens, however, only begins as the waters leave in reclaiming their property, repairing and rebuilding; and it will be days, and pethaps weeks, before many dwellings can be occupied." Madison, Ind., anticipated the flood by bar­ ing tbe 'ower portion of the city abandoned when the Wheelin r disasters were reported. The city Is partially built on a great bill, and it had ample accommodations for the people wnose places were under water. The damage to property will be great. A large number of factories stand close by the river, and were full of water to the second stories. A ham­ let across the river In Kentucky was entirely under water, and its inhabitants climbed tho hiH and went back into the country to disperse among tbe farmers. Louisville, Ky., and Jeffersonville and New Albany, Ind., are in close proximity. Oa Feb. after a rainfall of several hours, the river showed & remarkable tendency to rise, and the inhabitants of the low districts moved back into the safe portions of t^e cities. On Feb. 6 the river was nearly forty feet over high-water mark, and was rising at tbe rate of four Inches an hour. In Louisville tbe river front from Third to Fourteenth streets was submerged and tbe houses were en­ tirely hidden between the point and Shippingsport, 400 families being driven from their homes. In the south­ eastern district many houses were abandoned on account of back water from Bear Grass Creek. On Feb. 7 the canal cut-off gave way and the currdht ran across the point at a depth of twenty feet. The river continued to rise until the greatest height ever known --46 feet--had been attained. The dam­ age in Louisville was comparatively light, as all the occupants of the lowlands moved out before the waters attacked them. In Jeffer­ sonville and New Albany it is estimated at two cr three times greater than last year. Next to Lawrcnceburg, Ind., the town suf­ fering the greatest damage was probably Shawneetown, 111. It is situated between a blutr and the river, and on three sides is pro­ tected by levees. When the river began to rise the people became terror-stricken, and many abandoned their homes, after placing their goods in the higher stories of their houses. On Feb. 10 the river had reached a point where It threatened to break the em­ bankment and wash away the city. A force of 300 men and two railroad locomotives were put to work hauling dirt from the hills to strengthen the levee, and for a time it seemed that their work would be successful, but the embankment gave way and in a brief time there was a depth of water from 5 to 15 feet all over the town. The people who got out of their houses moved in tbe oouutry or camped on the hillsides. Last year's losses were so great that many of them were too poor to get away or to supply themselves with ordinary comforts. Tbe suffering among them is made very intense by the present cold weather. The reports generally show that under sim­ ilar circumstances the losses this year will not be so great as last, because the people have been taught to anticipate and overcome many features of the disasters. Perishable property was generally transported to places of safety in time to save it, and houses were provided to prevent much of the suffering that was undergone a year ago. The distress, however, is beyond the comprehension of those who have not seen it. At a number of places relief boats were fired into by the distressed citizens to pre­ vent thein approaching places of rescue that were tottering. The waves made by the boats were disastrous to undermined build­ ings, and no I out larger than a skiff was al­ lowed to distribute the relief supplies. The figures which indicate the height of water in the Ohio are not a measure of its volume? At Cincinnati, for instance, zero ie located on the surface of Four-Mile bar, north of tho city, and again at Rifing Sun bar, abre.ist of tbe Indiana State line. It is situ­ ated on these shoal places to give river pilots the advantage of a geater average depth of water in the river generally. The published depth is inaccurate to the amount of tbe depth of the channel where the water-gauge is fixed. At Cincinnati this depth is 15 feet, which, If added to the published depth, makes the volume 86 feet. IN A nwmitla. IIIVM SapfMed to Be Safe Causee FLOOD MOTES. Minor Incidents of the Great Deluge. By actual count 110 bouses floated through Moundsville, near Wheeling, in one day. A cow belonging to Mr. MacGregor, Of Wheeling, when tbe flood came, climbed up the steps into the second floor of his resi­ dence, and has lived ever since on tbe con­ tents of a hush mattress. Sharp cow, that. A coop full of chickens which floated to ParkersbHrg, about four weeks ago, lodged there, and was covered by snow. The other day cwhen the snow had melted otf, three chickens were found in the coop alive, hav­ ing lived the whole lour weeks without food. A Cincinnati relief boat was hailed bye fellow in a skiff with the statement: "There's a woman drowning up that alley." The re­ lief boat was filled with women and children, but It was turned in the direction of the alley. The lazy brute in the skiff offered no assistance. A young woman was found struggling in the water with ber rubber cloak caught on an iron railing. Had it hot been for this she would have been drowned before the relief boat oould reach ber. Henry Dooley, an adventurer about the Louisville wharf, entered an abandoned house in O*Neil's alley, and in an upper mom' found fully half a bushel of hungry ratst piled up in a corner, and, thinking he would' benefit humanity, made an onslaught, in­ tending to kill them; but the little beasts flew at him like wildcats, biting his faoe, hands, and legs so rapidly and mercilessly that he failed to make but one stroke and retired hastily, badly whipped, and bleeding pro­ fusely. He Is terribly swollen all over, ocou pylng quarters at the hospital. Thoughtful people in Cincinnati, during the leign of the watery waste helped bright­ en the path of the belated pedestrian by placing lamps in the windows of their resi­ dences. Until the food came, there had stood for many years, says the Commercial Gazette, a village of about 400 Inhabitants on tbe banks of the Ohio, one mile south of Smith's Land­ ing, in the extreme eastern corner of Gler- mont County. This Is now completely de­ stroyed as a town, for only 'five houses out of over forty which composed the village have been spared, and the materials of which they were made have been swept away by tbe irresistible current of wind and wave. Hie remaining five are EO badly wrecked as to be uninhabitable. D The town will never bo rebuilt. Its land will become farm land, but not valuable, ex­ cept for late crops. Fortunately, the people had all fled to the hills in the rear of tho place before that fateful night, and the "de* eerted village " carried no human lives downp to its own destruction. J A novel sight was witnessed at Louisville/ An old Oerman who owned a little house on Front street had been in mortal terror for fear it would float away. He accordingly secured a boat, and, rowing out to where the building was located, climbed upon the roof. He then began tearing down the chimneys, and, carrying the brick and mortar down a ladder, dumped it through the window. When asked his object, he replied that be was weighting his house down so that it would out move. TRADE N0TE8. 8OITTH AMERICA IS buying barb-wire fence in the United States.

A CHICAGO builder makes building* fire­ proof by covering ceilings with thin sheet frcm Uatontown, £*.] ir The little mining village of West Lelsenrln^, tour miles north of here, was this mornlnt,- the scene of the most terrific explosion ever known in the coke region. The Connellsvllle Coal and Iron Company, of which Judge Lelsenring of Mauch Chunk, is President, have "00 coke ovens here which have been in operation about a year. The works give om- ployuuittt to about one hundred «sen, nod quite a little town has sprung up named after which reaches the coal at a distance of 4W feet from the surface. This morning a part of the force who bad worked all night left the uiines a little after 8 o'clock, and seventy others took tbeir places, making the usual morning shift. About 6.8J o'clock, while the men Were dig­ ging, suddenly, without warning, there oc curred an explosion that convulsed tbe mine in every apartment and threw the men into the utmost consternation. The scene of the explosion was in one of tho apartments, fully 800 feet disiant from the bottom of the shaft, and therefore about 1,200 feet from the surface opening, yet the report was heard on the outside for a considerable dis­ tance, and caused such a jar that the top of a derrick 100 feet high was knocked off. Two mules were standing at the bottom of the shaft, 800 feet from the explosion, and the rush of air blew one of them throngh a wooden cage, shattering it to pieces. The other mule died of suffocation. The awful Ecene that ensued among the terror-stricken miners cannot be described. All of their lamps were blown out, and they were left in darkness and confusion. They had nut time to recover from the shock before they found themselves unable to breathe. iThe explosion of tbe fire damp--a tertn which the miners apply to the light carbonated hy­ drogen or coal-gas that issues from the crev­ ices in the most of the mines--left the mine filled with afterdamp, which contains no ox­ ygen and renders it impossible for life to be isustained for any time. This after-damp was .'densest in tbe upper part of the mine, and tbe •men hovered near the bottom, but even there 1 they did not long find relief. i Of all the men who were in the heading where the explosion occurred, Dick Balsiey alone escaped to tell the awful story. When .the explosion came, and all the lights were blown out, Balsiey was Just changing his clothes. He at onoe wound part of his cloches tightly around his faoe and mouth to keep the jfoul air from choking him, and gave tbe rest . of his garments to a companion with lnstruo- •tlons to take the* same precautions. He (then started for the main entrance, bidding vbls oompanion follow. They ran over the bodlea of men, and over shattered wagons. They could see nothing, but ;could hear the groans of dying men. Presently Balsiey'a oompanion protested I that they were not going in the (right direction, and turned back. He per- ! ished. Balsiey pushed on until finally he saw 'a light, and was taken out. His escape is re­ garded by experienced miners as one of the j most marvelous on record. He says that some men kept their heads under water as long as they could, and were forced to change from water to after-damp, and at last they gave up the unequal struggle. When the news of the explosion flashed '.around, the families of the men gathered ;about the shaft, and were crazy with sus- ipense. Balsiey's etory gave them little fground for hope that any could be got out ; alive. So dangerous was the after-damp that lit was fully two hours before any volunteers !could enter the mine. Many were on hand •ready to make the search, but were unable to do so until the hope of rescuing the unfor­ tunates alive had quite fled. It was about 8 o'clock when the first body was brought out. It was that of Michael lUpko, a Hungarian, 'whose wife and two little children were wait­ ing and weeping at the shaft. The face bore no marks of violence, and the roan bad evi­ dently died of suffocation. Tho work of res­ cuing the men went on rapidly by willing 'volunteers, and at noon nineteen bodies had been carried out. The company's books were then examined, the roll called, and It was an­ nounced that all the men had been accounted for. Work proceeded in quiet and order amid the sobs and subdued weeping of the stricken families. The bodies were taken to the homes near by and laid out. Coroner Batton, of this plaoe, with many citlaens, went from here, and the inquest began at 3:80 o'clock. No testimony was taffen except that which Identified the dead, nineteen in number. Most of the dead bore no visible marks of violence, but had died of suffocation. Their faces were generally very black, smoke and dust having been blown into the skin. The last man taken out alive was Henry Wilson, who had managed to subsist on the air In tbe very bottom of the mine till rescued. He was almost gone. Many of those who were in other parts of the mine suffered severoly. DiCk Balsiey reports that the men acted much like horses in a burning' stable. They were fcewildered, and, not knowing which way to go, refused to move in any direction. Some of them were eo burned that the flesh dropped off them in places when removed. The tcene at the afflicted homes to-night is heartrending beyond description. In Hack­ ney's house lie two corpse, himself and May. In the house of the Hungarian. Ripko, is per­ haps the saddest sight of all. This family seem advanced far beyond their average countrymen in civilization, and their home was cheerful and attractive. The dead hus­ band and father lies upon a bed; bis weeping wife sits at hie head kissing and caressing him, while two little children stand by and call him in vain. After identifying the bodies Coroner Bat- ton adjourned tbe inquest until Saturday morning. The company will bear all the ex­ pense of the funerals, which will take plaoe to-morrow and next day. The accumulation of BO much gas in this mine as to oause sueh an explosion is a matter of much surprise. No accident ever before bocurred here, and it was regarded as a very safe mine. The flre boss, with a lamp, made the usual exam­ ination last night, and pronounced every*, thing all right Men had left other mines that were regarded as unsafe and come here to work becaUSb {here was no danger felt. HBHT WITH INDIANS. ttfeidr Savages and Two White Mb at Hailstone, Montana. A dispatch from Billings, Montana, says five Piegan Indians made a raid from their reservation, crossed the Yellowstone at Clark's Fork River to the Crow Reserva­ tion, and stole fifty-three ponies from Plenty Coves, a Crow chief. They ran off these (onies aad picked up a number more belonging to white men near Park City. Plenty Coves and three other Grows, accompanied by Joseph Gate, Chaaeey Ames, Philip Sidle, Lee M. Owens, and three other white men, pursued and overhauled them at Hailstone Basin, near Painted Robe River, forty miles north­ west of Billings. A fight ensued, in which Chanoey Ames and Joseph Gate were killed and Owens and Sidle wounded. Four of tho Piegans were killed. The fifth was wounded, but es­ caped. The horses were recaptured. Tho bodies of Owens and Gate were packed back to Park City to-day. Both wore well-to-do ranohmen.

[Washington Telegram.] There is a stronger probability that Post­ master General Gresham will leave the Cabi­ net than there has been at any time. He will doubtless become the successor of Judge Drummond. Within a day or two the Indiana delegation has signed a pa*>er formally pro- renting the name of the Post master General to the President for this position. They did not do this until they ascertained that Gresham would not only be willing but would be glad to accept the place. One of the Indiana Con­ gressmen, who has been active In preparing this petition, has said that there was no longer a question that Judge Gresham would accept it. "He will be glad to get it," he said. This, unquestionably, settles the case as to the candidacy of Gresham, and it would seem to settle tbe result, fo* the supporters of the other candidates in Illinois, and Wis­ consin have admitted that If Gresham was a candidate it would not be wise to make a con­ test.

A nit approached shafts darted from the top of the cloud toward the earth with almost llgtning rapidity. In many places ths track of tne monster waa three miles la width* every inch of whioh was denuded of timber, and stripped as clean as though an immense mowing-machine had been run through it. From the copious reports of this phenomenal storm telegraphed from Atlanta, Ga., to the Chicago papers, we compile the following particulars: The oyclone formed in the ( hattahoochie Valley, near the Mexican Gulf, and then passed north. It first struck the city of Columbus. The storm then divided, one branch running up the Ala bama side of the valley until it was deflected by the Red Mountains, in whioh Birmingham is located. Then it took an eastern course and passed through Leeds, Lodima, and Oxmooi into Georgia, where it passed, through Cave Springs, Rome, and Bartow County into Can­ ton and out of the State along the foothills oi the Blue Ridge. Fourteen persons periBhed at Lodima, six at Leeds, eight at Cave Springs, and ton along the line from Rome to Canton. Near Canton a terrible accident happened. The crowded oountry school was dismissed in order to allow the pu­ pils to reach home. About thirty oi them took refuge in a building which was overturned by the storm and ten of them mangled to death. The other branch of the storm went eastward from Columbus, through Talbott, Crawford, Bibb, Jasper, Hancock, Baldwin, and Columbia, finding exit through Edgefield, S. C. in Baldwin, the Hon. R. C. Humlln, candidate for State Treasurer, was killed by flying timbers. Seven other per­ sons were also killed. An old oouple over 80. named Mathews, tottered out of tbe crura blfng building and escaped. A train on the Macon and Auguta Road was blown eff the track, but no one was hurt. As nearly ai can be gathered, 200 lives were lost in Georgia alone, 5,000 buildings destroyed, and $1,000,000 worth of property demolished. In Columbia County, besides damages in the interior, the plantation of George Granade was ruined, the houses demolished, and timber carried off. On the plantation of Dr. Reese a negro was killed, and Mrs. V. M. Wade, the wife of the overseer, seriously wounded. The oyclone passed through the suburbs of Cave Springs, Ga., killing five men and severely injuring others. Houses and everything in its path were demolished, and the damage was great. The town of Bradleys, 8. O., was nearly blown away. The wife of Dr. Ligon was badly Injured. At Ninety-six, 8. C., a house was wrecked and a child killed. The residence ol W. H. Blattworth, Bdgefleld County, South Carolina, was blown down, and, the rulnt taking flre, a little daughter perished. The dwelling bouse of J. C. Hankinson and the store of J. S. Boyd, at Jackson, S. C., were blown down and three negroes killed. Ths town of Millen was nearly destroyed. At D. D. Dlckerts' plantation, Newberry County, 100 aores of original forest were swept away. At Matthews the Lutheran Church was blown down and William H. Eller's residence wai carried off and he and his child seriously In­ jured. All the plantations were badly dam­ aged. Several large fires were observed in th( track of the storm. Chappell's Station wai swept away, not a house being left. The wlf< and child of George T. Reed were badlj hurt.

A man, woman, and ohild are reported killed at Anderson. In the lower part of Clarendon County, South Carolina, James Cubbage and Ben Baggett's child were killed. In Darlington County the dwelling of It. W. Boyd was de­ stroyed, himself seriously Injured, and twe negroes killed. Tne dwelling: of Mr. >vhite. near Darlington Court House, was blown down and himself and wife killed, while Mrs. C. Edwards was seriously injured in the fall of her house. Six persons are known to have been killed in the county, and fifteen wounded. A serious loss of life and property is reported in the vicinity of Williiunsburg County. The loss of property everywhere it very great. Twenty-five .houses--all In the Philadelphia settlement--in North Carolina were leveled by the cyclone. The bodies of three white men and eleven colored have been recovered. Search is being made for others believed to have been killed. At Pioneer Mills, Carrabus County, six houses were blown down and a colored woman klllod. At Woodward's a negro and his wife were killed. At Wlnns- boro three negroes and an aged white lady, Mrs. Sterling, were killed. Mr?. Sterling's eon and daughter were Mown from the house into a tree. At Polk ton the wife of F. M. Gray Iras killed by the failing of their house. At Conoord two,brick houses were partly de­ molished. At Rockingham the cyclone struck on the outskirts, destroying fifteen houses, killing twenty-three people and wounding many more. Several ooiored people were also killed on the Pedee River. At Manley and Keytser the oyclone destroyed everything. Near Lilling-ton, Harnett County, six persons were killed. In the Cuhawba valley in Alabama eight persons were killed and thirteen injured, three of whom cannot live. These casualties occurred in one community near the new tewn of Leeds. The oyclone struck Leeds about 1:80 p. m., and swept awu^tba section house of the railroad, killing Jeff Vfarl, Dntt Cloud, and Bert Keith, negroes, and seriously injur­ ing an aged white couple, named Bass, living near. Three miles south of Leeds the house of John Poole was J>lown away, and a son of 17, a daughter of «, and a ehlld of a negro tenant of the (dace were instantly killed. Poole, his wife and four ohildren were'all very badly injured. The residences and premises of Dr. W. P. Wright were completely demolished. The body of Mrs. Jk* 8. Wright, Dr. Wright's mother, was found 100 yards from the boute, fearfully mangled and with the skull crushed. Annie, aged 20, Jennie Jfi, Thomas IS. James 14, and rxlward 1*. all children of Dr. Wright, were badly in­ jured--having their arms and legs broken. Harriet McCrew, cook for the Wright family* was killed--half of her bead being taken off. Of twenty-four oarta. two wagons, aad three horses on the place, nothing remains but the carcass of one horse. Tbe house occupied by Mr. McLaughlin was blown away and bo was badly hurt. J. P.
