THE LATEST FREsHET. We hope the
flood which agitated the bosom OF Spring
creek last Monday morning may be the
concluding one for this season ut least.
The pretty stream, with its tributary,
Logan branch, rose very rapidly last Sum
day night, caused by violent rain storm
which began about 4 O'Clock on the after
noon of that day and continued with una
batcd fury for fourteen hours. At 4 O'Clock
on Monday morning IL had attained a
height seldom known before. The i'm
mense body of snow along the banks Of the
two streams was transformed into water,
and descended like an avalanche into the
roaring flood.
Considerable damage was wrought by
the destructive waters. The dam above
the car works was in imminent danger Of
bursting its banks, in which case the de-
struction would have been increased TO an
almost limitlcss extent. The smaller dams
at Manns Axe Works and at Valentines
Ironworks gave way, and sent their con-
tents down to swell tho mighty food. A
trestle which supports Valentines railroad
across Spring creek was only prevented
from floating of by being secured on one
end, An immense cake Of ice struck one
of the piers OF the High street bridge,
considerably endangering the safety of the
structure. Further down the creek the
bridge leading to the Bush House stables
was carried away. The bridge on Lamb
street was greatly damaged rs were also
several other similar structures further
down the stream. The dam at Linn x
McCoy's Ironworks was damaged TO a
extent. All along the course
Of the creek cellars were flooded, causing
much destruction and inconvenience. The
waters subsidized almost as soon as they had
risen. 1t is not a comforting thought that
sufficient snow remains to again swell the
creek with raging torrent II We should
be visited soon by the same amount Of
rain.

LINES ABOUT LEST.-The following
pretty poem, appropriate TO Lent, is from
the pen Of Mrs. Marcella V. Hardenbcrgh,
of Brooklyn, and appears In neat little
volume recently issued by her under the
title "From Heart TO Heart" The poem
is entitled
"a CRYING SIN"
IL is the solemn Lenten time,
When from the world apart,
We Christians should review our life,
And try our Utmost heart.
Before Jehovah's searching sight,
All guilty we must be,
But yet think our crying sin
Is lack of charity.
Proud Pharisees, We thank the Lord,
We not as others seem,
Our glass can magnify the "mote,"
But quite o'erlook the "beam."
Is our own garb so undeAled,
Our heart 70 white within,
That we can draw our robes aside,
And spurn the child of sin 4?
Can we stand up with spotless hands,
Pass sentence on another,
Implying lift the murderous stone
And slay an erring brother
If Christ such mercy showed to US,
As we TO others show,
How swift would be our punishment,
How sure would be our woe
Lord, in the holy Lentcn time,
Teach US our guilt 70 see;
Oh send, most needed Of all gifts,
The grace of charity.

Shocking Accident.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa, January A shock
ing accident occurred to-day on the line of
the Sioux City and Omaha division of the
Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha
railroad, by which six men were killed
outright and seventh lost leg. The
men were engaged in cut north of Ban
croft, shoveling snow. The working train,
anticipating the coming of the south-bound
passenger train, had side tracked and the
men eleven in all, had stepped from the
track to allow the passenger train to pass.
Some trouble had been experienced the
day before, and the engineer on approach
ing the cut which is long one and on a.
curve, put on steam and rushed in. The
train consisted of locomotive and tender,
two box cars and one passenger car. The
train with the exception of the latter car,
passed the men in safety, but the steps of
the passenger coach caught. them and
moved them down like grass under the
wheels, only four escaping without serious
injury. The names of the killed are
Charles Meyers, Thomas Broughman, A.
f. Swonzon, G. A. Heiman, Olney Ander-
son, and John Erickson. The name of
the wounded man is John Adelan. The
men all lived at Oakland, Nebraska, to
which point the bodies were conveyed.

One Baby Kills Another.

Premises S26 North Fifteenth street are
occupied by William H. Jackson, a colored
Whitewater, and Margaret Shannon, also
colored, who runs laundry. jackson has
two children, one of them-Sewell-bein
three years of age, and Margaret had a
two-months old babe named Charles. On
Monday afternoon Mrs. Shannon was
down stairs engaged in ironing, the three
youngsters being alone upon the second
floor. Suddenly the baby gave vent to the
most frightful screams, and when the
mother hastened to its assistance she found
the boy Sewell raking the Goals from the
stove on the floor. He had also heated
the poker red hot, and besides burning the
child's facein frightful manner, had thrust
the hot iron down its throat. Medical at
tendance was summoned, but the child
died last evening from its injuries. The
Coroner will hold an inquest to-day

Catching a Clerical Sharper.

No long ago a mild, clerical-looking gem
tleman, dressed in black and decorated
with white necktie and spectacles, arriv-
ed at the city of Brooklyn. To several
theologians ho represented himself as a
minister from one of the Southern States,
and in his arguments and controversies
upon the Gospel displayed talent and tact
that nonplussed his opponents. On sever
al occasions he filed the pulpits of the
local brethren, and preached with au elo-
quence and force that almost woke up the
deacons. Invitations to tea poured in
upon him, and in his social relations he was
pronounced perfect. One noticeable thing
about him was the availability Of his ready
cash. He gave literally to the church and
to charitable societies and never refused
anybody around. Suddenly ho stopped
disbursing, and when cbided by tho min
listers, who had noted his amsgiving with
pleasure, ho frankly announced that his
money had given out and that he would DO
compelled to wait for remittances, unless
he could get his check on his homo bank
cashed in this city. AS a matter of course,
the clerical fraternity saw through his
scheme in moment, and they determined
to put the swindler where he would do the
most good. Not being of the worlds
people, they did not exactly know how to
put secular job, and 30 they employed
the services of detective to aid them in
sending the brother to State prison. The
detective advised them to single some one
pastor as a victim, who should indorse the
check and take the culprit to certain
bank, where he would be promptly arrest
ed with the money in his pocket. There
was some difficulty at first, as all the min
listers engaged in the enterprise vehement
ly volunteered to be the victim. This was
finally overcome by casting lots, and one
was chosen. He notified the sharper that
he would indorse his check for any amount
and the document was drawn for $1,000
Together they went to the bank, the mon
ey was paid, and the detective sprang upon
his quarry. In order to make assurance
sure, telegram was sent to the bank, and
in an hour the answer came, "Check good.
Let tho drawer have anything up to $780,
900. He owns this bank and is bishop of
this diocese"

PLEASURE BEFORE BUsISEss.-There

tinually fighting and quarelling. Not

the other one attended the funeral.

enemy and said impressively: ~ was
