Austin. Nevada, Completely Wrecked.
AUSTIN, New, AUG l6.-Austin has
again been devastated by terrible ca
lamity. Last Wednesday the clouds
commenced to gather, and that night
there was light shower of rain. Yes
terday, the flood rushed upon us at 20
minutes to ?. NJ. A heavy rain,
accompanied by hail, commenced total,
and in IA few moments small flood
commenced pouring down Cedar street,
which forms the water shed OF the hill
lying on the north side Of the town.
Main street is the bed of the canyon
and is the water shed for large area
of hills. Gradually the water began to
cover the surface of Main street, andin
a few moments the bed of the street
was raging torrent, a river from three
totenfeetindepth. Destruction marked
every step of the torrents path. The
RereiHe Office, a one-story brick, was the
first building to go; followed by side
walks, porches, awnings, merchandise,
cattle, wagons, wood, timber and f1ag-
ments ofsmall buildings. Fortunately.
the residence portion of the town issit-
uated on the hills at the side of main
canyon, and most of the women and
children were out OF danger. One
man, named Sparnum, was washed out
of the Philadelphia brewery at the
lower end of the town, and later in the
evening his body was found overa mile
below stripped naked. Main street is
completely Quilted, and every house
filled three or four feet deep with sand
and debris. The entire street is a
wreck. There is not a business man
or house in town that is not more or
less injured The total loss viii approx
innate fully 100000. This morning
men are at work clearing away the
ruins, and the pretty little town of
yesterday morning is now a sorry sight
of wreck and devastation, which it will
take months of time and thousands of
dollars in money to repair.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. ia dis
patch from Malheur agency via Baker
City, says: Seventy-seven Indians,
including sixty warriors, surrendered
to-day. This leaves but very few
hostile Snakes unaccounted for. The
surrendered Indians say the Ban
nocks did all the numbering and the
Snakes the stealing.

dispatched to find and bring this party

der the missionary Influence Of a
modern Indian agent. II is fondly
hoped that these Indians may either
be removed to the Indian Territory or
with all other agency Indians be
turned over to army officers, who will
certainly prefer fair dealing to fight
ing. Public feeling is so strong
against these Indians on account of
their depre dations this season, that
the men whose friends have been
murdered and property destroyed,
will not hesitate to kill a Piute at
sight when off the reservation.

Emil Hoedel, who attempted the

Hoedel's age was about p. On the
trial he protested that he had not in
tended to take the life of the En-

life in a public manner in order to
create sympathy for the suffering
people; but numerous witnesses testi-
fed that Hoedel leveled his weapon

the settlers have mostly returned to
their homes and immigration has
again set in, confidence is being
gradually restored, and everything is
rapidly falling back into the old

know that the Indian war is over and
that peace and prosperity once more
reign.

New complications have arisen in the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers on the
Central Railroad. Three fourtbs of the men,
bers abandoned the order, and those who re-
manned now claim that they can divide the
funds III the treasury among themselves, ig-
noring entirely those who left the organize
ton. A formal application on behalf of the
seeding members will be made to the Chan
cellor to-day "wednesday for an injunction
restraining the delegate for New Jersey from
signing any bills for relief Of members till the
authority Of the Central Council can be legal
ly tested. The minority, who adhere to the
organization, have determined, it is alleged,
to oppose the return of any of the seceders,
SO that If this movement be successful the lat
ter cannot recover dollar of the money con-
tributed to the general fund for years past.
1t is not leasan. observes the Orange Journ-
al, to be told that ex-Gov. Bedle, for whom
SO many Republicans voted more than three
years ago, under the belief that he was too
high-minded to sacrifice principle to party,
has had his hands up to the elbows in the
petty partisan legislation of the past few
weeks. Pleasant or otherwise, it is unhappi-
ly too true. Ex-Governor Bedle is, in fact,
as strict and uncompromising Bourbon par
tisan as any Democrat in New Jersey. He
seems of late to have completely thrown off
what slight restraints were imposed by the
positions he has held, and emulates Mr.. Leon
Abbot IN the methods and intemperance of
his partisanship.
Mr.. Anderson of the Louisiana Returning
Board, who was unjustly condemned by jury
of unc0nciliated Southerners, and sentenced
to state prison, has been released on tho de-
cision of higher court. His prosecutors will
not be able to rally from this defeat.

How THE LAW Works IN MAINE.--Ex-
Governor Dingley, of Maine, has published
the following statistics which he claims show
correctly the effect of the prohibition of the
sale of liquors (save by agencies) in that State.
In 1890, thirteen distilleries made 1000, 200
gallons of liquors now there is not distil-
cry or brewery in Maine. In 1882, there were
sold by 1900 taverns, hotels and saloons, $780,
600, 600 worth of liquors, or $50 to each inhab-
liant. In 1877, the aggregate sales of 100
town agencies were 500, 900, or fifteen cents
to each inhabitant Including candestine
sales, the highest total for the year claimed is
100000, or 81 for each inhabitant. In 1855,
the deaths from delirium tremens were 200 |;
or Dingley claims, also, that crime and pau
perism have been greatly reduced in the State,
but does not give the exact statistics.

AS has been predicted, the Radi-
cal party in this county is again in
tho fold. A County Convention
will be held in Winnsboro on
Monday to send delegates to tho
Radical State Convention in Co.
lumbia on the 9TH. Precinct meet
ings have already been held through
Fairfield, and religious revivals,
which moan politics, have been in
full blast for some time. An at
tempt will be made to elect Legis-
lative and county tickets. The
ticket will, of course, be black, rs
no white man will suffer his name
to he used by the Radicals, but the
race will. nevertheless, not be q
walk over. It behooyes the Demo-
Gratis to bestir themselves and pre-
pare for an active campaign. It
may be necessary to repeat the
events of 1876, when every Demo-
crat was headed, and NIL of them
were not quite enough. Two
duties present themselves to the
Democracy-first, to nominate good
candidates, and next, to elect them
at the polls. If the people get to
quarreling among themselves about
lawyers and the phosphates and
the usury bill and the fence Law
and other minor issues, they will
all be swampod together. Pre-
cisely these dissensions have stimu~
lated the Radicals and given them
hope. They have felt that before Il
united Democracy their chances
We're hopeless. But just SO soon
as these differences arose in the
different counties, Radiealsm walked
mp. The leaders in the low coun
try arc very defiant. Smalls and
Whipper and Swails are injecting
all their old venom into tho cam
paign. They defy tho government
and dare it to prosecute them.
Why they are not already in jail is
apuzzling q question. But, as it 10,
they arc making trouble. They
and their cohorts must be promptly
met by united party. We arc
not yet fully out Of tho woods We
want everybody to help.

IT IS NOT matter Of much credit
to Charleston that ex--Judge VIM.
M. Thomas is looming up as a
leader Of the Democracy, and that
he should question the sincerity of
Col. Edward McCrady, Jr., and
other gentlemen of such standing.
Judge Thomas has long been the
Charleston correspondent of the
New York Sal,,, and his course has
forfeited what respect people
otherwise might have entertained
of him. He has libeled Governor
Hampton and the Democrats of the
State, time and again, in the most
malicious and yet, happily, silly
manner. The Charleston Democra-
cy must get rid of Thomas.
