AN ENCOUNTER WITH RATs.-Mr.


Schram, an elderly and eccentric
German shoemaker, who keeps,
sleeps, cooks and lodges in little
shop on Main street, had quite an
adventure on Wednesday night.
His narrow shop and house, with
the dainty crumbs of his table,
has attracted multitude of house
rats, which have taken up perma-
nent quarters in his festive abode,
and come forth nightly to revel in
the bliss of a midnight meal and
delight the ears of Herr Schram
with the musical tatto of their tune
full tails-a sort of rat-a-plan to
amuse their distinguished host.
Not realizing that familiarity
breeds contempt" as we'll as rats,
the large soled Crispen has per-
mitted the association to become a
mutual occupancy of the house be-
tween himself and his rodent COM
panions, rat-ifying the treaty each
night by purposely scattering his
bounty where handiest picked up
by his midnight guests. On We'd
nesday evening, however, Mynheer
dinned out with party of convivial
friends, and after the numerous and
happy libations of the night, retired
salubriously to his couch, forgetting
in the pleasures of the bowl the
palates of his four-footed dodgers.
The sonorous nasal notes of the
sleeping shoemaker had but wakened
the echoes of the castle ere his ne
elected friends made their appear
ance. Not finding their usual re-
past, and with appetites whetted by
hours of pastient fasting, they made
rush en- masse for the recumbent
Schram. He was dreaming of
frauline in the Vaderland, and when
at last he awoke with a "God in
Himmel! Gaty, dond bite me off the
earl" he found huge rat Juggling
away at his left ear and another just
finishing "a delicate morsel from his
upper lip, while a third old settler
was running a tunnel in his eye
brow. 1t did not take Schram very
long to get up and git out of there,
but he will bear the facial evidence
of his midnight adventure for some
time to come. Anybody. having a
wagon-load of rat traps for sale are
advised to call on Schram.

Hans Christian Andersen, the cele
brated Danish novelist and poet, died
yesterday at Copenhagen. He was
born at Odensee, Denmark, in 1905.
His early early life was beset with trib-
ulations and hardships, and many years
elapsed before his talents We're recog-
nlzed. So soon, however, as his skill
in song and his wonderful imaginative
faculties became known his success was
all he could desire. Among the works
that have made him famous are ''rhe
Improvisatore," "Journey to Amack,
20. T., 1.-TWO Baronesses," and "Only
a Fiddler" But famous as these are
they may be possibly be forgotten, while
his exquisite "Fairy Tales" will always
be among the classics. These latter
are the most charming efforts of the
kind conceivable, and have been trans
lated into every modern language. His
writings have been read so extensively
in this country as to make his name fa-
miliar as household word all over the
United States, and have so endeared him
to our people that when, recently, it was
alleged he had fallen into pecuniary dit
fculties, general and voluntary sub
scri Upton was promptly made for his
relief He had, however, in 1845 re-
ceived royal annuity, which suf1iced
for his comfortable subsistence.

Since then several prominent members
of the family have died in the usual

as to how the estate is to be divided
Immense sans have been expended in
feeling attorneys in the civil SUIT since
the trial of Ike Bolton. Wade Bolton

plantation on the Tallahachie river in
Mississippi, which cost him $4,000.

SETTLEMENT Of A BROOKLyN SCANDAL
EAsE.-Thomas Kinsella, one Of the
proprietors Of tie Brooklyn Eagle, and
late member OF Congress, was sued by
Thomas Field, superintendent Of the
pubic schools of that city, for damages
for st duclng plaintiff 8 wife. The case
was referred. and it was subsequently
agreed that no defense should be made
and that the damages should be SIS, 900,
and the referee SO reported aud judy
ment was entered accordingly. The
plaintiff then announced his intention to
invest the $4,000 the income TO be set
apart for the support of Mrs. Field while
she lived; after her death it was to be
known as the "Kinsella Trust for the
relief of fallen women. The defendant
thereupon refused to pay the judgment,
and though he was possessed OF consld-
cradle property, the sheriff was unable
10 find any goods on which to levy the
execution. 1t is understood that, by
the Intervention OF friends, the supple

satisfactorily to both parties, and that
the defendant is to pay the SIS, 1000, the
income Of which is to go to the support

Baltimore Sun of

The FLOODS. The Baltimorc Sun OF
to~day sums up the disasters by the
floods in the West AS follows:
The rain fall in the Ohio and Miss
issippi valleys during the past three
weeks seems to have been heavy almost
beyond precedent. 1t is estimated that
in the lower valley Of tue Ohio and the
area drained by its tributaries the ram
fall for the mouth Of July was greater
than that Of the entire year III 1873:
The same rains have prevailed
throughout the Mississippi and the
Missouri river regions as Tar north as
line from Chicago to Sioux City. AS a
consequence the floods are out all over
the districts Indicated, and the damage
already done is beyond estimate, while
it is only too probable worse results
still may yet be reported, -
The destruction among the halt har'
vested gram in4the central and southern
portions OF Illinois and Indiana is said
to have been fearful. One account
tells of sorry sight indeea--a swollen
river with its Surface completely dotted
with wheat sheayes washed from the
fields. Ia, Indiana and Missouri the
dismal spectacle Of crops carried OFT by
the rivers. has been seen. In Southern
Illinois the corn has been beaten down
and washed ont Of the hill by the
storms anl.fhe ensuing overflow. In
Ohio crops in the field, still standing Of
in the stack, have been badly Injured
and in many cases swept away. The
loss in grahrm must be immense, and the
waste, coming at this season OF the
irreparable. Accounts from the lower
Mississippi, reporting the passage Of
these great floods toward the Gulf, are
looked for with anxiety.
The damage by the storms to the
railroads in West Virginia, Southern
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois has been
very serious. The Parkersburg branch
of the Baltimore and Ohio road was
considerably damaged by high water
several bridges were carried away, and
the track in the heavy cuts obstructeo
by slips and the washing of embank'
ments. A large force of laborers are at
work night and day repairing damages.

Cincinnati and Marietta road also
suffered to some extent The Ohio and
Mississippi, the Vandalia and the
Indianapolis and St. Louis roads, being

suspend running their trains on account
of the unprecedented rise in the

reported to be from three to five miles
wide at some places. Travel being GU

Yesterday between Cincinnati and St

travellers to travel $50 miles, occupying
twenty four hours to make the trip
