per ton; also to increase the duty on sui
phuret iron in its natural state, contain
ing less than fifteen per cent OF silica, from
fifty to sixty cents per ton.
Mr.. Anderson offered an amendment to
come in after the head line OF the schedule,
consisting Of metal schedule as agreed
upon by the Senate. lie submitted that it
was not intended TO pass any tariff bill this
session. 1t could only be done by meet
ing medium views as expressed by tue

LOVE AND LUNACY.
a Young Man Put la n Cell for BEING Foe
Ardent In II IN Affections.

CHICAGO, February IA young man
named George r. Mcclure, whose home is
on Congress street, near Rockwell, formed
an attachment not long ago orthe daughter
OF Mr.. James Marshall, Of No. 500 Warren
avenue, but he was in the habit OF behav-
ing in so strange manner when visiting
the Marshall household that the stern par.
ent finally forbade his calling there any
more. Mcclure thereat became somewhat
exasperated, and, it is alleged, wrote abu'
sive letters TO the young lady, and threat
ened to burn down her fathers house.
Sunday night he managed to get in the
house, and once inside he conducted him
self in SO violent u manner that Mr.. Mar
shall had him lugged Off to the Desplaines
street station in patrol wagon, and he
was booked on charge Of disorderly con.
duct. He was brought before Justice
Walsh this morning, and Mr.. Marshall, for
the prosecution, narrated the facts as given
above. The defendants brother testified
that George had at one time been in an in
sane asylum.
During the recital OF these facts Mcclure
paced up and down the prisoners's box,
greatly excited. He pulled of pair OF kid
gloves, and, slapping them down on the
Justices desk, said:
"Your Honor, am not entitled to make
statement here"
ayes, sir; proceed" answered the Justice.
Mcclure threw himself into dramatic
attitude, and in deep tones said:
"Your Honor, l love this mans daugh'
ter, and loved her well. l."
"That will do. Take him down stairs,
remarked the Justice.
"Sir, why this outrage? 1warn you that
shall apply to the Supreme Court OF the
United States for redress. lam not crazy"
AS the Bailiir attempted to remove Nc.
Guire he was greeted with the remark:
Beware, you miserable shyster You are
crazy yourself"
The prisoner was held to await an ex'
animation as to his sanity. He is said to
belong to a well-to.do family.

REIGN OF THE WATERS.
THE. GREATEST FLOOD FOR YEARS
Water, Water Everywhere Bringing Ruiu and Ms.
cry to Reconsideration Of the Ohio
Swelling The Tide Of Woe-DamHgS
AtPArktrAburB and Other Points.

PITTSBURGH, February From present
indications this section will be visited be-
fore morning with the greatest flood Tor
fifty years. All day yesterday and last
night the rain fell in torrents at all points
along the Monongahela Valley, the record
showing total rain fall Of one and half
inches. This melted and carried of the
snow on the mountains and soon the
creeks and streams at the head waters we're
converted into small rivers and pouring
their volumes OF water into the Monon-
gahela.
Early this morning came reports from
points above Of booming river, but not
until noon was there any rise here. The
river commenced swelling at that hour,
and has since been rising rapidly. Dis
patches from Morgantown, w. Va, Greens.
boro and Brownsville, Pa, and other towns
along the banks, report the water still
rising at the rate OF six to eighteen inches
an hour. Many places already are sub.
merged, and great destruction OF property
is anticipated. At this point there was
twenty-five feet at 10 o'clock tonight,
and from the amount Of water yet to come
it is thought that there will be from thirty.
two to thirty.hve feet Of water before the
Hood reaches its height. Beyond the
damage done by the inundation and the
possible washing away Of the old Smith
field street bridge, which is in q bad Condi'
ton, no apprehensions are felt here US to
the outcome. What ice is still in the
Monongahela and Youghiogheny rivers, it
is thought, will be so rotted by the thaw last
week as TO be in a condition TO do no
damage. Portions OF Allegheny City
and the South Side are now under water
and by tomorrow morning it is expected
the mills and factories along the rivers will
be compelled to suspended operations.
Families in the lower part Of the city are
moving goods TO places of safety and de.
serting their houses. The Allegheny river
is also rising, but no serious damage is an.

mysterIou. Disappearance.

PITTSBURGH, February 7.-During the
last week there was considerable excite
ment over the mysterious disappearance OF
Mr.. J. W. Fulmer, Of 81 Miller street, this
city. Mr.. Fulmer disappeared on Monday
evening last, and no one knew OF his
whereabouts until he reappeared. He
says he knew nothing until he found
himself to be in Chicago. He was
glad to be at home again. Mr.. Fulmer is
a man about thirty years Of age, about five
feet eleven inches, and rather round
shouldered. He has dark eyes and hair
and is rather slim for his height.
He has a small mustache, and be-
fore he left, as he states himself,
had full beard, but now he is smooth
faced. Some OF the papers have stated
that Mr.. Fulmer has been insane, but
as far as the reporters observa-
tions went he could discern no trace Of in
sanity about him, though the strange story
looked like hallucination. Mr. Fulmer
was never known to take "6ts" or anything
OF the kind before and his manner OF dis
pearance is deep mystery which none
Of his friends can explain. 1t is Ger.
tainly one the querest cases on record
and is parallel to the case Of McDan-
iels, Of Cannonaburg, who disappeared a
number OF years ago, and waking up, found
himself on board steamer bound ior
South America.

New York, February There is an
irrepressible conflict at Paterson, n. j.,
between two factions OF German citizens,
over the method OF distributing funds col
lected in that city for the sufferers by the
floods along the Rhine. One Of the con-
tending parties is in favor Of sending to the
regular relief committee appointed by the
Reichs.ag, and consisting OF those Of its
members who represent the flooded dis
tricts. The other faction consists Of Social
Democrats, and these insist that to insure a
distribution Of the funds to the most de-
serving, they should be sent to committee
OF Socialists in the ReChstag, headed by
Herr Liebknecht. A meeting OF the German
citizens OF Paterson was held on Sunday,
January 2Sth, at which the anti'SociGllst
party gained control OF the organization.
On last Sunday another meeting was held
at Germania Hall. Although the Socialists
captured the meeting, the anti.Socialists
retain most Of the funds, which will be sent
to the regular committee OF the Reichstag

Tho Ferry Brotncrs' Failure.

GRAND HAVEN, MIcH., February T.
Senator Ferry will let the attachments rest
on the property Of himself and brother
until the Senatorial election is over, when
he will try to straighten out the kinks in
his financial affairs. The firm attribute
the failure to an uncalled for panic among
the creditors OF the firm. They derive
much confidence from the fact that there
is no authoritive statement that the Utah
mine is a failure; on the other hand, L. p.
Ferry claimsthat the value OF the mine has
been under.rated, and that they have
taken out and sold SS6,00O worth OF ore
since last October. 1t is also stated that
theamount Of claims for which the Ferry
Brothers property has been attached does
not exceed $4,000, and the amount Of
their Liabilities has been exaggerated. On
the other hand an attorney, who has access
to all information obtainable by the credi-
tors reasserts that the liabilities will not
fall short OF 100000.

FALL RIVER, MASS, February 7.-fhe
following bcquest has been made to this
city by Mrs. Mary B. Young, rich widow,
whose only son, by former marriage,
died shortly after he had reached the years
OF manhood. His death was sore atllic-

to give in trust to the city the sum oi$5O, 600

is made on condition that the selection and

an individual to the city, and is the more
highly priced because OF the actual neces-

on for more than four years, and conse-

WASHINGTON, February Gen. Nathan
Gof has been in Washington for several
days on legal business. Being asked as to
what he thought Of the prospects OF the
passage OF the pending tariff legislation, he
said that it was the general impression
among those with whom he has talked
that no tariff bill would get through this
session. As to an extra session General
Golf says that it is not believed that the
President will call an extra session for the
purpose Of reviewing the tariff, but if the
tariff discussions continue long enough to
displace theappropriation bills and prevent
their passage this month the President, in
that event, would be compelled to call an
extra session.

ST. PAUL, February 1.-THE Butte Inter.
Mountain, paper published in Western

Of ten men by vigilants, which, although it
must have occurred more than week ago,
has not been heard Of by telegraph. The
lynChing occurred at WeeksvilIe, a new
railroad point near Missoula. The Inter
Mountain Gays: "Less than three days ago,
it will be remembered, Billy the Kid, well
known in Butte, was captured, shot all TO
pieces, and thrown into the river, but last
Sunday was the bloodiest red-letter day
ever known at the terminus. For many
weeks past spirit OF ilawlessness, robbery,
and murder has reigned supreme at that
point.
The courts were paralyzed and their
ediCts were detied. Urged TO desperation
by the extremities OF the situation, vigi-
lance committee was organized with great
secrecy, and the aCcessions were soon
sufficiently numerous to render its mem
bers bold enough to announce their pur.
pose OF suppressing the high-handed
outrages almost hourly coming to light.
Once organized, no time was lost in carry
ing out the object OF the association. On
last Sunday night four desperados, known
as Ohio DaD,' 'Blondy,' Ed Enright, and
another man, were arrested. The first
three were hanged without ceremony, and
the fourth was converted into lead depos.

scene ghastly aspect. 1t wasalso reported
to her that the three victims at the ~
were similarly suspended, having been
thus left by the avenging viglantes so that
there should be no possibility Of return
to life.
"On another authority it is learned that
last Monday witnessed the hanging Of
three more men whose high crimes had
become known, and who were considered
too wicked to be allowed to atilict the
earth any longer with their presence"
