BristOw and the Hog Reeve.

Secretary Bristow has written to the
S. district attorney at Louisville calling
his attention to the statement of Reeves that
he paid to Bristow bride of one hundred fat
hogs, while the latter was district attorney
there, and denouncing the statement as en-
tirely false, but saying that the lie was stated
with such particularly that simple denial
was not enough, and requesting that Reeves
be brought before the grand jury and the
matter sifted to the bottom. But Reeves has
since made affidavit in regard to the Bristow
hog-story, in which he says that he told the
story while intoxicated; that he never at any
time gave to Bristow or to any one for him
any money or property of any kind for any
purpose whatever.
Clymer's Investigating Committee Badly
Duped.
The House investigating committee
which has made widespread reputation in
unearthing frauds on the U. S. treasury got
hold of bad witness the other day. It was
man named Bell, who told long story
about his connection with the Babcock trial,
at st. Louis. He said he was employed by the
President to act as spy on Col Dyar the
prosecuting attorney, and to ascertain what
evidence Dyar had against Babcock. He fur
Their said Babcock and others endeavored to
induce him to steal the testimony and give it
to them to be destroyed. OF course his story
created quite q sensation, but within twenty
four hours it was entirely disproved, and the
man Bell shown to be miserable dead-beat
totally unworthy of notice.

RECORD OF THE NEWS.
r,ood AMI, Disaster at Clinton, Mass S..

Flood and Disaster 8t CAAntOn, MasS'
:. DURING the food at Clinton, Mass,
the dam of Messy Pond gave way, causing
great damage. Three hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars will hardly cover it.. It is not
known that any lives were lost, but it is re-
ported that two men are missing who are
known to have been in one Of the buildings
destroyed. The scene for a distance of two
miles along the track Of the waters recalled
the terrible Mill River disaster. About two
o'clock on Sunday it became evident that
there was danger, efforts were made to
strengthen the dam with mattresses, bales Of
hay and small trees, but the efforts were I'M
availing. The dixie melted like snow, and at
three O'Clock the waters burst forth with
mighty rush, sweeping away everything in
the path. Trees were twisted, snapped and
uprooted, earth and boulders torn from be-
tween the hills, leaving rough gorge sew
eral rods in width. After passing Fullerville
down to the branch of the Nashua river, the
water had scope Of large interval, and
without further obstacle. The summing Of
buildings destroyed includes the Clinton tan
merry, the Fullerville Company's factory, the
comb factory and four other buildings. The
principal losses were at Fullerville, which is
now a complete ruin, which was thriving
settlement. The company oc-
cupied five buildings, hardly vestige Of
which now remains.
