Unpreeedented Mise IN the Eau
Claire River.
EAU CLAIRE, WIS, Sept. ll.-Water
In the Chippewa river Is higher than
ever before known. Water is flowing
over the principal streets; many build
ings on low ground are floating away.
Both the Chippewa and Eau Claire
rivers began falling at noon, after
reaching the unprecedented height of
twenty.six feet, three feet higher than
the great food Of 1880. Every bridge
On the Chippewa has gone out. five rail-
road bridges and fivs wagon bridges. In
this city the loss Of property is
appalling. No satisfactory estimate
can be made at this time.
In and between Chippewa Falls
and Eau Claire, the loss will not fall
short Of one million five hundred thou
sand dollars, aud may greatly exceed
that sum. The Eau Claire Gas Co. lose
$500 tons OF coal and all the buildings.
valued at 5000. BUSINESS honses on
all sides Of the two rivers are submerged.
There is great apprehension lest when
the water rocedes the foundations may
be 80 much impaired as to crumbls the
walls. In the city over two hundred
houses have been swept away. Only
one life lost 10 far as heard from.

THE DEAF MUTE.
His Habits and Customs-Is it Heredi-
tary!

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.
Among a number of memoirs transmitted
to Congress by the national academy of sci
enee is paper prepared by Prof Alex. Gra-
ham Bell on the formation of the deaf va
riety of the human race. In discussing the
marriages of the deaf, Bell says that it is
evident from the records that there is a ten
dency among deaf mutes to select deaf mutes
as their partners in marriage. That this
tendancy has been continuously exhibited
during the pust 40 or 80 years, and there is
every probability that the selection of deaf
by deaf in marriage will continue in the
future. While we cannot at present arrive
at any per cent, he continues
1t is certain that the proportion of deaf
mute offsprings born to deaf mutes is many
times greater that the proportion born to the
people at large"
After discussion of the various schemes
proposed in the past for the establishment
of exclusive communities for deaf mutes, all
of which proved abortve, or at least were
never started the professor says, in con-
clusion;
''The immediate cause of the inter-mar-
riage is undoubtedly a preference that an
adult deaf mute exhibits for the companion
ship of mutes rather than for that of persons
that can hear. The grand central principles
that should guide us in our search for pre-
ventive measures should be the retention of
normal environment during the period of
p1uration Z"

NEWSPAPER SALE.
The New York Star Changes Hands
Mr.. England the Purchaser at
Sl5O.OOO.

NEW YORK, Dec. 80.
The New York Times says relative to the
sale of the New York Star that negotiations
for the Star have been pending for some
time, although England became the bidder
for it only lately. His rival in the field was
John r. Mclean, owner of the Cincinnati
Enquirer. On his recent visit to New York
MIR. Mclean offered Sl25.000 for the paper
but the trustees demanded S150,000. Mr.
Mclean left for Washington saying he would
give an answer on Friday night No answer
came and England, hearing of the occur
renee, on Saturday at noon called upon the
trustees and bought the paper on their terms,
and preliminary papers and money were ex-
changed to bind the sale. In about two hours
after this transaction, a telegram reached the
Star office from Mclean, accepting the fig
ures as originally set by the trustees, A
reply was sent that he was too late.
Although England is not yet 80 years old,
he has had l3 years experience in the busi-
ness department of a newspaper He entered
the Sun office as boy and at different times
has worked in every possible counting room
position. In 1882, on the retirement of VIM
A. Patton as publisher of the World, MIR.
England succeeded to that post. He claimed
to have raised the papers circulation from
IL 900 to 24,000 in nine months. At the end
of this time he ruturned to the Sun

FLOUR AND GRAIN.
The Price of Wheat Advanced-Situa.
ton at Minneapolis.

BosToN, Dec. 80.
In its yearly review of the -four and grain
trade, the Advertiser tomorrow morning will
publish the following as connected with the
recent sharp advance in flour; The prices
of wheat have advanced about eight cents per
bushel, on account of bad weather within the
past few weeks, while the lack of water at
Minneapolis caused an output OF -four at this
great milling point to be greatly reduced
The millers, finding that they had the vantage
in their own hands, at once stopped their
ruinous competition, and aided by the export
demand, they have advanced the price of
-four fully % and 33 cents, the present quota
tions being 1925 and $40, while some
favorite brands could not be bought in round
lots at less than $3.50. Jobbers are awaken
ing to the fact that prices are going higher,
and the hand to mouth policy which they have
mostly pursued duringlthe year is being dis
carded, and they are now in the market as
free buyers. The rapid advance OF the past
few days checks the demand to some extent
Buyers are not entirely confident that it will
be maintained. A strong tone of the rapid
advance in spring wheats has also carried the
winter wheats along, but the advance is not
so marked. Lower grades of flour are also
starting up but in a mere quiet way.

persons have been conveyed over it annual
ly without the slightest accident.

POISONED
ing Against Newl ork GrOcers for
$4,000 Damages.

New YORK, Dec. 80.
Thurber, Whyland & Co., grocers of New
York, are defendants in suit in the Kings
County supreme court which is watched with
great interest.
Some time ago, Thomas Kolyer, OF Brook.
lyn, purchased a can of tomatoes from a gro.
Ger who had purchased them from Thurber,
Whyland & Co. Mr.. Kolyer's family ate OF
the tomatoes and his daughter, Thedora, was
made very sick. She began a suit against
Thurber, Whyland & Co., to recover $50, ,0OC
damages, alleging that her health had been
permanently injured In her complaint she
claimed that the firm in soldering the can had
used murate of zinc fux and that the fluS
had fallen into the tomatoes and poisoned
them.
The defendants demurred to the complaint
There was an argument on the demurrer be.
fore Judge Brown some weeks ago and yes
terday he rendered decision overruling the
demurrer.
The gravamen of this cause of action Is
negligence on the part of the defendant in
the preparation and sale of an article of food
whereby the plaintiff was injured in health.
Any person suffering special injury or dam
age by reason of that negligent act mas a
right of action. The defendant will carry the
case to the general term on appeal.

BLIND POOLS.
Swindling Operations of the Firm OF
Even Bros-Men Who Are Wanted
in New York, but Cannot be
Found.

New YORK, Dec. 30.
1t is said that the Even Brothers, cotton
brokers, who were expelled from the ex-
change few days since for alleged fraudulent
transactions, have fled to Canada.
The New York Morning Journal says this
morning that the general opinion is that the
Ewens have decamped because they feared
to face the criminal proceedings which John
X. Dospassos has or inte 1ds to institute
against them. 1t is stated that Mr.. Dospas-
sos represents a claim against Even Broth
ers for Sl?0, 900, which had been deposited
by infatuated spectators, who thought to
make fortune out of the now famous liqui-
dated blind pools to which the Ewens were so
partial.
1t is said that a prominent attorney, who
acted for several ladies before the cotton ex-
change, said yesterday that all told there
were now 80 cases, l2 of them for ladies',
against the firm, charging them with swim
ding transactions. The total amount of the
claims of the attorneys Chants was S6S 900.
He further said that two brothers in Pittsfeld
had been taken in for 500 900 and were
now penniless.
1t was learned yesterday at the cotton ex-
change that an old gentleman had called to
make enquiries regarding the Even Broth
ers He wanted to know where they could
ter of $50 900, which he would like to have
them settle. He was informed that the
Ewens could not be found, and that it was
reported that they had been compelled to
borrow sufficient funds to leave town.
