DEBATES AT DEADwooD.- BOSTON
PosT: They organized debating society
in Deadwood last week. The fact that
the president was dead shot and sat
with two revolvers in hand kept the soci-
ETY. in comparative quiet while the ques-
tions, "Oug ght flush royal to beat four
aces?" and 'Is it wicked to lynch Mex
leans on Sunday?" were debated. But
when they tackcled the question, "Ought
YOU to fire when man reaches for his
hip pocket, or are you bound to wait till
YOU see whether it's revolver or whis-
ky bottle he's drawing?" the president
couldn't control them and five funerals
was the result.

been thrown from the shaft. Strange to
say no bones were broken, but he was
bruised in a serious manner. He is now
doing as we'll as could be expected, but it
will be long time before he will recover
from such a fearful experience.

A GEORGIA FAMILY OF DWHRFS.

Yesterday quite an unusual sight, and
and one very attractive to the little street
gamins was presented in our city. 1t
was two men and one boy, who by their
difference in size formed rather peculiar
and comical looking trio. The first sus-
picion that something out Of the ordinary
routine was going on was caused by a
crowd of "band wagon boys lodging in
and out of the walk as they hurried up
Broad street. The next moment large
man, fully six feet in height, hove in
sight. There was nothing peculiar about
his appearance, and we were at loss for
a time to determine the cause of the
amusement of the boys. Directly behind
the man came another, who appeared to
be not half as tall as his companion,
then came little boy seemingly about
two feet in height, but in form was a
miniature of our High Sheriff The two
latter seemed accustomed to the stares
and rude, unbecoming laughs of the
crowds, and passed them with an air of
indifference that would do credit to Tom
Thumb. The last two are father and
son, and belong to the dwarfish family of
Troupe county. The father Mr.. F. M.
Darrell, lives a few miles above West
Point, on the river, is 49 years of age,
and is only four feet four inches high.
He has four children, two of whom (boys)
inherit their fathers imperfect stature.
One is IL years old, and his stature is 81
inches; the other 9, and measures 33
inches in height. The eldest of these two
children is afflicted with malformation
and disease of the spine. The mother is
five feet high, and the other children are
of the ordinary Observation-Disclosures En-
quirer-Sun, August 19.

THE WESTERN FLOODS.
Great Damage to Propertyat Yank-
ton.
STEAMERS CARRIED A MILE FROM
THE RIVER.

Sioux, City, Ia, April 9.-The river is rap
idly receding within its banks in the country
above. VIM. Cunningham, an old settler OF
Dakota county, Nebraska, was drowned this
forenoon. His, house was surrounded by water
and his family had gone to higher ground. He
was making his escape on a Ecrse, when the
animal went through bridge and he was
lost.
A special to the journal from Yankton says
the damage to steamboats,, railroads atd pri-
vate property by the ice gorge there has been
fearful. The steamers at the levee were carried
inland and now lie on the railroad track
Steamer Peniah struck tho railroad machine
shops, completely wrecking them. The boat
is now on the prairie about mile from the
channel. The government warehouses are de-
stroyed and many of the goods Stored in them
were carried away.
Rescuing parties report great suffering and
restitution among the settlers on the bottom
land between Yankton and Vermllion. A
number of houses at Yankton were moved
from their foundations and in some instances
Yankton from Choteau Creek, and is the only
one of the fleet escaping without injury.
CoUNCIIs BLUFFS, April 9.-The unpre-
cedented rise of the Missouri river at this
point has resulted in a general overflow OF the
lower part of the city, and many persons were
compelled to vacate their honseS here last
night The bottom land between this city and
the city proper is inundated, forming mighty
lake several miles in width. The Union Paci-
fic Co. were compelled to load down their
bridges over a small stream within the city
limits, and the water is several inches over the
tracks and is fiowingin the vicinity OF the large
Union Depot. The river is nearly % feet above
low water mark, being several feet higher
than ever known here. and II is still rising.
Some fears are entertained that the current
may succeed in forcing passage through the
low land of the city, a. mile or two this side of
the old iron bridge between this city; and
Omaha on the Union Pacific road, but this re-
suit is hardly probable.

NEW YORK.
The Matchmaking Case.


NEW YORK, April "a consultation was
held at the police headquarters this morning
as to the manner of getting to this city the
prisoner Eugene Fredeficks, arrested in Phila-
delphia for completely in the blackmail case
The prisoner refuses to come to this city wit h
out requisition. AS the matter stands Super
intendent Walling advised Captain Gunner to
secure the Identification of the prisoner before
taking steps to obtain the requisition. The po-
lice have information that Fredericks is the
man who on March q went to the synagogue
at Fifty-ffth street and lexington avenue
with forged note to Rabbi Huerch, asking
that he let Mrs Strasburger's daughter, Rose,
60 home, and thus figures in the attempt to
kidnap the child. Superintendent Walling
advised Captain Gunner to let Rev. Dr.
Huerch 20 at once to Philaphia and there en-
deavor to identify the man. He alone saw
him and his report will at once determine the
action of the police and the connection of the
prisoner with the nefariouS pet. DR.. Huerch
proceeds to Philadelphia today and will return
at once and report. l
The police have learned that Fredericks
came over in the steamer Republic with VogeI
on the trip last October, when the Strasbur-
gers were also passengers. and from that time
dates probably his connection with the plot. .
Disagreement in the Seawanhaka Case.
The jury in the case of the Seawanhaka dis

ization, made violent speech and said he be-
liev ed there was more virtue in pound of

semblies. The revolutionary sentiments of the
speaker were loudly applauded.
