DESTRUCTION BI FLOODS.
4 Terrible DeIuSe in Bristol, COluInDii
Crops Entirely Destroyed.

4 Terrible DeIuSe in Bristol, COlt;iuhii.--
Crops Entirely destroyed.
Reports come from the Frazier river
valley of the most disastrous floods ever
known in that province. A weeks warm
VIC: thcr melted the snow which caused
the river to rise SO rapidly that the
settlers had not time to remove all their
effects. The fertile districts Of Chilli
mack and Sunlas are turned into lakes,
ard the settlers reached their holdings in
canoes and skills. All the crops on the
bottom lands arc destroyed. On Thurs
day night Matsquia dyke gave way. and
the water covered the reclaimed prairie,
destroying the crops and sweeping away in
4 few minutes dyke property valued at
$100, 1000. Steamers find no difficulty i'll
navigating where. a few days ago, were
beautiful farms. On the line of the Yales-
Savona railway, the river is sixty-two feet
above low water mark. In some places
the wagon roads arc thirteen feet under
water, bridges swept away. and railway
works considerably damaged; and on Fri
day the water was within ten feet of the
famous Alexandria suspension bridge.
The accounts of tho flood are now some
what better !; the weather is cooler, with
light rains, and the rivers arc reported ut
a stand still.

DROWNED.

a Snn,iay Fatality on tho Conestoga.
n drowning accident occurred Sunday
morning ut 0 O'Clock, at point about half
a mile above the dam in the COnestOga
at Rock Hill, Concstoga township, by
which Il boy, eleven years Of age, named
Johnnie Miller, lost his life. Tho boy was
in the company of two other small boys
who had gone in bathing but inasmuch
as he could not swim was told to watch
their clothing. When they had nearly
crossed tho stream he wentinto the water.
and getting into deep place went under.
A man coming down along the bank saw
him sinking, but thought he was diving
and paid no attention to it, as the boy did
not cry for help. When he arrived at tho
point from which the boy started he saw
he had disappeared and raised an alarm.
Several men made al attempt to find the
body, but they were unsuccessful and it
was not recovered until a boat was brought
from Rock Hill but by this time the body
had been in the water probably forty five
minutes, and life was extinct. DR.. NJ. +.
Reeder, of Millersville, came driving along
when tho body was secured and he made all
possible efforts for two hours to rcsusci,
tate the body, but it was of no avail.
Deputy Coroner Hockey summoned a jury
who rendered verdict in accordance with
the foregoing facts. The boy was son
of the late John Warfe!,of Rock Hill.
A Serious Runaway.
Yesterday morning as Mr.. Christian
Musser and Mr.. Frederick Mann were
driving on the Columbia pike, a short dis
tance east of Mountville, near Klugh's
tavern, the spindle of the right front wheel
broke, leaving the axle fall to the ground.
This threw both the gentlemen out Mr..
Musser was slightly bruised, but Mr.. Mann
was picked up inscnsible and this morning
it is feared he has sustained serious internal
injuries. DR.. Livingstone was called to
attend him. The horse, as soon as he
found himself free. turned and started
for Mountville. On the way he
ran into the team of Mr.. John
Baker, of Silver Springs. which was tied
near the Black Bear hotel. causing his
horse TO tear loose ard run away. Both
horses were caught in the town. The
wagon of Mr.. Musscr was completely de-
moi he'd. while that Of Mr., Baker sustained
but slight damages.

distribution Of Circular Designed TO
Influence tho Democratic state Con
YcntIOn.

ScntiOn.
Some parties arc circulating i printed
letter among certain Democrats calculat
cd to influence the coming Democratic
state convention. The letter cncloscs i
copy of the platform adopted ut the recent
Grecnback state convention and is sent to
all bank officers of corporations in the
state who arc Democrats. Adviccs to the
Times and other papers have it that lit is
regarded as blow ut the movement to
nominate Judge Turnkey, to accomplish
his defeat directly or to make platform
upon which no could not possibly stand.
1t is claimed that Hopkins is in the move
mcnt, and that tho circular can bc traced
back to William l.. Scott, Of Erie Tho
circular runs rs follows:
PITTSBURGH. June 1882.
DEAR SIR: 1t now seems possible for
the Democratic party to carry this state,
and thus gather power for tho next presi-
Dental contest. The issues now if
successful, will be likely to be adopted
then, and anything objectionable should,
therefore, DO carefully excluded from
the platform Of tho party at the coming
convention. The enclosed platform, it will
be noticed, antagonizcs banks, railroads,
telegraphs, and large land-holders as mo-
nopolles, thus seeking To prcJuuice inc
people against the right of every man or
association of men to manage its own
property on tho business principles rccoG
nized throughout all history. Since the
wax, whenever the Democratic party has
leaned to the heresics set forth in the ell
closed platform, it has met with over
whclming defeat. Witness the elections in
this state last fall and repeatedly in Ohio,
aud now. that it may again come to the
front, care should DO taken that sound,
outspoken, business platform may be
adopted and the right kind of candidates
nom mated on it. SEQ the delegates. i:
already elected, and impress upon them
your view. If not elected, SEQ that the
right kind of men are sent from your dis
trict or county. Attend tho conventions
if Your delegates are disposed to be COM
muaistic, and neutraliZe their influence.

The Parties Arrested, and Attempt to
Escape from the Lookup.
Saturday night between II and IL
o'clock there was Il row in High street
near Dihel's saloon, during which Christie
pher Schcid was knocked GOwn by stone,
Rudolph Fisher was shot in tho arm and
John Sherlock was shot through the
clothing by a man named John Soulic.
There are different stOriesas to the origin
of the trouble, but it appears that Saheld
had been keeping company with aoulle' 5
sister during the evening and on emery
ing from tho house was attacked by
Charles Rothwciler, Il rival, who struck
him on the head with 4 stone and
knocked him down. Scheid jumped
up to defend himself, when Soulie also
assaulted him. John Sherlock and VIM.
WOlpert ran up to stop the fight, it IS
said, when Soulie pulled pistol from his
pocket and, saying, 81 will soon settle
this matter" commenced firing, one shot
grazing SherlOck's abdomen, but doing no
damage. and another striking Rudolph
Fisher, who was passing by, in the arm,
infcting flesh wound. Five shots in all
were fired, and, as is believed, were in
tended for Shield, Wolpert and Sherlock.
The reports of the pistol aud loud cries of
"murder - brought the police upon the
ground. Rothweiler was arrested by Off
Ger Shay and taken to tie lookup. Soulie
ran into his fathers house and attempted
to escape by the back fence, but Special
Officer Gill Intercepted and arrested him,
taking him to the lookup.
During the night both he and Roth
weller attempted to break out, but were
detected, and Soulie was put into tho dun
geOn and Rothweiler into the iron clad.
MIR. Fisher has made complaint of feloni-
Gus assault and battery against Sou!ie be-
fore Alderman McCoaomy and Sherlock
has made similar complaint against him be-
fore Alderman p. Donnelly. He has been
removed to tho county prison to await the
hearings. Rothwciler is held to answer
for drunken and disordcrly conduct.

A Daughter Of Colonel Duncan. Herself Very
Ill, United to Her Dying Lover.
San Antonio Express.
Lieutenant Augustin F. Hewitt, U. ).
A., Twenty second infantry. died at $50
o clock last evening, 1T the residence OF
Colonel Blanton Duncan, after an illness
Of not quite two weeks. Tho fever was
malignant malaria of the most viru!ent
character, which dotted all that medical
skill and loving hearts and hands could do.
On Thursday Il change for the better
seemed to come, and physicians and
friends were iubilant over the prospects OF
his recovery, but that very night at ll::o,
Il severe rigor commenced, and shortly
aftsrward the fever ran up to 1867, rem
dering the case 4 desperate one. On sat
turday il became necessary to acqua!ht
the lieutenant with the fact that he must
die in very short time. Colonel Blanton
Duncan gave him the painful information.
and it was received with the hcrolsm and
unilinching manhood which characterized
and stamped him as one OF the noblest
and trucst types of our race. The great
beaded drops rolled from his brow and a
look of horror passed over his evcs-but
no terror, no fear, no diSmay. Only the
anguish of separation from those who were
most dear to him for Il moment filled his
great and generous heart.
Lieutenant Hewitt was to be married or
next Tuesday, 9th of June, to Miss katia-
rinc, eldest daughter Of Colonel Duncan.
That gentleman asked him if it would
make him happier to be married then and
there, ard Hewitt eagerly responded in the
| affirmative. Miss Duncan was attacked
with tho same malarial type of disease OH
| Sunday, the 21st, and her life was de-
SPARED of for days. She was improving
for two days past. Sho likewise most
eagerly desired the union, heart-brOkcn
as she, too was at the information con
veycd for the first time that death was SO
near to them. Father johnson married
them as they were placed side by side upon
the dying soldiers bed. Lieut.. Hewitt,
in the most affecting terms, then badc
farewell to his wife until they could be re
united in Heaven. Shortly after this,
about 12 noon, he became unconscious and
never was restored to lucidity up to tho
time of his death ut $50 p. m.
1t is questionable whether Mrs. Hewitt
can sustain the terrible blow without
sinking under it. A relapse will be fatal
and Frustrated under the calamity every
nerve has given away and left nothing bn'
gricving and mOurnful sObs and mOans.

Eating Raw Grains Of Corn.
A special courier has arrived in Dau-
Vile, Va, from Patrick county, begging
relief for the people OF that county, five
Thousand of whom arc starving for want
Of mea! Or flour. The total failure of their
crops last year brought them to the verge
of starvation many months ago, and now
their slim supplies arc entirely exhausted.
Women and children have already died
from starvation. There are three hun
drea people at Patrick Court House who
have 1T had anything to eat for two and
thre, lays. The county is situated in q
remote and accessible part of Virginia.
tbs roads are mountainous and bad. Il
takes iOnc time to reach the county. AS
much as $500 cash has been offered for a
barrel of -four by some of the farmers in
the county, but even money will not avail.
Among the poorer classes the suffering is
terrible. Efforts are being made to at
once organize relief expeditions. One or
two wagonloads of shclled corn reached
the county on Thursday. Starving men,
women and children cutched ravenously
at the grains as they were given them and
ate them raw.
