consideration TO Messrs Goodwin, Dunsmur, CharlebOis
and Davis contractors and H. j. Morgan who had been

yesterdays rain storms were by far the
heaviest known in many years and causing
the most destructive flood since s65. At
Brookville, Pa, waterspOut burst, and
in less than two hours the creek rose ten

foaming torrent The rapid rise gave
the mill men no chance whatever to save
their stock. The dams at the North Fork
mills of Bryant & Wainwright, and Litch
Bros. mills gave way, carrying with them
lumber valued at $4,000. Two bridges were
washed away, many small building deniOl-
ished and number of families driven from
their homes and compelled to seek shelter
elsewhere for the night In Pittsburgh the
rise in the Allegheny last night was very
rapid, and number of coal barges were
swept from their mOOringS but caught
by tow boats. The flood at Brook
vile brought down about fifty thou
sand pieces of lumber, and almost
every owner of a skiff is busy to-day catch
ing drift wood. The water is now subsiding
and no further damage is anticipated. A

SAD RESULTS OF A SPREE.

Pittable Death Of Southern Lady Through
the Effects Of Her Husbands Crime.
AUGUSTA, GA, June 13.-Mrs. w. j.
complished lady of Savannah, has just died
miserable death in one of Atanta's haunts
of sin. The story which attaches itself to
this woman is peculiarly sad. Three years
ago she was q happy wife in cosy home
in Savannah. Her husband, q young, hand
some, educated man, had a lucrative and re-
spOnsible position with the Central Railroad
in that city, and possessed the respect and
esteem of all who knew him. About
Christmas of 1881, while on a drunken
spree, he shot a young man who subse-
quently died Fairchild was arrested,
placed in Jail and tried. The case against
him was stubborn, and it required his house
and everything else he could accumu-
late to save his neck. His wife gave
everything cheerfully, and her grief
which was manifested during the
trial had great influence on the
Judge and Jury. The trial resulted
in sentence of five years instead of the
death penalty. The parting between hus-
band and wife when he was taken to the
Penitentiary was deeply affecting. With
the hope of securing mitigation of the
sentence she came to Atlanta and fell a
victim to the wiles of well-known charac-
ter in this city. She took the downward
road, took to drink, and in a few weeks was
confirmed drunkard. This step was followed
by Others, until she found herself utterly
disgraced and sunk to the lowest depths of
degradation. She died very suddenly, with
out having been sick moment Her hus-
band was at loves camp, on the Chatta-
hOOchie River, and when Mr.. Lowe heard
of the death of the convict's wife he caused
two guards to bring him to the city. The
man knew nothing of the downfall of his
wife until he found her dead in house of
sin. His grief was painful to witness, and
as he stood beside the coffin he raved like
mailman. The kindness of the lessees for
whom he was working enabled him to send
the body to Savannah for burial. He has
two children living in that city, but it will
be three years before Fairchild can go to
them. '.H.ff- ... 80. .. DID. .

A Mother Separated from Her Children rs
an Ocean Steamship Leaves the Wharf.
BALTIMORE, Md, June IA thrilling
scene was enacted at the steamship wharf
here. Mrs. Ellen Withers, widow lady,
and her six children had engaged passage on
the steamship Nova Scotia, which sailed for
Liverpool this morning. BY some means
two of the children got separated from the
rest, and upon arriving on board the steamer
Mrs. Withers discovered her loss. Two lit
tie girls, aged fourteen and seven years,
were missing. The mothers grief was
heartrending. She rushed down the gang
plank and up the wharf, searching among
the crowd for her little ones. The mother
grew almost frantic as the time for the
steamship to sail grew nigh and no tidings
were had of her children. At last the lines
were cast off and the steamship started.
The poor mother gazed after the departing
steamer, having on board her four children,
and when the vessel was out of sight she
fell unconscious to the ground. The pain
full situation was soon made known to the
spectators and reported to the agent of the
steamship line. Every available means
will be used to reunite the family. After
two hours search the two missing children
were found. Mrs. WitherS will sail in the
next steamship after her four children. Her
husband died three weeks ago in Elk Lick,
Pa. She was on her way to her parents
home, in England, when separated from her
little ones. -.H ri rrt EN-. |...

CLEVELAND, o.. June 13.-lsaac A. STAN
ley, paying teller of the National Bank of
Commerce, was jailed last evening for EN-
bezzling 100000 from the bank. The
shortage was discovered when the Cashier,
GarettsOn, counted the reserve fund kept in
a special apartment of the vault. The COM
bination was known only to Garettson and
Stanley. When asked to explain tie shrink
age, Stanley confessed that year ago he
was troubled about debt of eight hundred
dollars on his house and thought he could
take that sum from the reserve fund with
out harm to anyone invest it in grain, real
ize profit, pay off the mortgage ON his
place and return the money. But the in
vestment was unfortunate, and to cover the
loss he took more, and SO on until he had
taken clean 100000. The directors of
the bank met, and after consultation, held
Stanley prisoner at theohOtel in the custody
of detective. Yesterday another confer

this, and will not be affected by the defalca-

WASHINGTON NOTES

THE record of the Court of Inquiry in the
case of General Swain, Judge Advocate
General of the Army, reported the facts as
developed by the evidence, and concluded
as follows: "The court is of the opinion
that while it is not prepared to say that
any specific act developed by the evidence
is actually fraudulent, yet the evidence
does show a series of transactions dis
screditable to any officer of the army" The
Secretary of War laid the report before
the President and it was decided to order q
court martial trial for General Swain.
