thus forms an alright junction, with

At six O'Clock last evening one of the
worst rain-storms that ever visited this VIZ
entity set in, and for four hours poured
down in torrents. Indian Creek. which
runs through the heart of the CITY. over
flowed, and the damage from the same is
roughly estimated at 5000, 600 Seven iron
bridges and two stone culyerts be-
longing to the city were swept away, as were
also several dwellings and barns along the
creek. An the business houses ON Main
street and Broadway are flooded Loss of
life is reported. The water IN the streets
one block from the creek was waist deep,
with a swift current. Cries for help could
be heard in every direction, but the swift
ness of the current rendered assistance inn
possible Particulars are very difficult to OBJ
tain tonight. Al twelve O'Clock it was stin
raining. 1t is the most terrific rain-Hood
Western Iowa ever experienced. Tie storm,
which set in about six o'clock, was a heavy
shower. but no citizen for a moment realized
the devastation that has followed. The creek
divided the city, and the flood rose so
quickly that many men found it impossible
to reach their wives and children. and a
number narrowly escaped death from drown
ing while endeavoring 10 reach their dear
ones. The mourning in the city is universal,
and the destruction Of property widespread.
A local newspaper in referring to this great
element visitation to our city SAYS: The
most frigltful calamity occurred last even
ing at six o'clock. There had been threat
enings of rain during the entire day, with
occasional showers, but when even
ing came it seemed as though the
very heavens fell A dark cloud
swept around to the eastward and dis
charged its torrents at the head waters Of
Indian Creek and the maddened flood with
constantly increasing volume poured through
Council Bluffs sweeping bridges and cul-
verts from one end of the stream to the 9TH
er. Many buildings were swept away. All
that part Of the city lying between the bluffs
and Broadway on the north was inundated
by the rushing and seething waters.
The sight was awful. To add to the
horrors of the situation the loss of Slife
is feared at this writing TO be large.
as numerous instances of drowning have al
ready been reported. At midnight rain was
still falling, although the creek seemed to
have spent its fury. The water in the west
ern and southern parts of the city was rap
idly rising, and many people We're compelled
TO take boats and escape. Facts as to the
amount of devastation by the storm are i'm
possible to give at this hour, but the loss to
the city alone will be hundreds of thousands
of dollars, besides that of private indtyid.

Terrible Deed of an Insane Mother.

EktEfe PlT1LADELPHIA, june 2.
u Especial to the Press from Carlisle says
that the people of the little village of Hunts
ville III Penn Township, Luzerne County,
were Mortified Friday morning by the nfor-
nation that Mrs. Martin Douglas and her
three children were lying dead in their honse
with then threats cut from ear to ear. Mar
tin Douglas is young labOring man, and
works at Pine Grove Furnace, probably five
miles or so from bis home. His custom has
been to go to work Sunday evenings, work
all the week, ana return to his family on
Saturdays.
His children were all small, the oldest
being five years and the youngest but six
months old, and they and their mother We're
the only occupants of the house, but, as Mrs.
Douglas parents lived near, and her mother
was frequently back and forth, it was
thought entirely safe for the husband TO re-
main away all the week. Some months ago,
however, the family physician thought he
noticed symptoms of insanity in Mrs. Doug
las, and so informed the woman's husband
and also her parents, but they saw nothing
wrong in the woman's conduct, and paid
little heed to what the doctor said.
Thursday evening Mrs. Douglas mother
was to see her, remaining until about nine
o'clock, the children having been put to bed
before sheleft. Report says she saw moth
ing in her daughters actions to cause any
suspicion that she was not in her right mind,
or entirely safe to leave alone with her little
children. Friday morning no one appearing
outside the Douglas house for so long the
neghbors became suspicious that there was
something wrong and Mrs Douglas mother
went to inquire. Upon entering the house
most horrible sight met her gaze. There
lay The three small children in the bed
where she had seen them put to their slum-
bers the evening before, but their Threats
were cut and their innocent lives were gone.
On the floor lay her daughter, the mother of
the three lifeless children, with her throat
cut and gashed in manner that is sickning
to relate, and near her lay the razor with
which the bloody work was done.
The most plausible theory is that the
mother, in an overpowering fit Of insanity,
committed the shocking deed, though some
persons are half inclined TO think some one
else might have done it. Justice-of-t the
Peace Null held an inquest ard a verdict
was rendered that the mother had killed the
children and then taken he + own life.
