NO FISH STORY,

from Arkansas.

A Little Rock special says The
birth of four boys to the wife of John
Ash, Prairie county, some four weeks
ago, was telegraphed from this city. The
little cherubs are still living, and Mr..
Ash has received an offer of 5000 per
annum and all expenses to travel and ex-
hibit his little family throughout the
United States. The birth of four chill

a human phenomenon was produced here
in Little Rock on Tuesday night of this
week. A colored woman lives on Cum
berland street, and herself and a fifteen
year-old daughter make their living by
washing. The girl is a copper-colored
mulatto.
On the night above mentioned she was
confined and gave birth to a human mon

Grant Memorial Services al the CITY of

CRY OF MEXICO, August 27.-Memorial
services under the auspices of the city
government, in honor of the late Gen.
Grant, were held last evening in the Hall
Of Congress, in the presence of all the
chief officials of both the federal and city
governments, and the elite of Mexican
society. All the members of the American
colony were present by special invitation.
The programme embraced appropriate
music by a superb orchestra, a fvneral
Grafton by Senior Ramon Prida, an ad-
dress by Senior Tomas Reyes Retana,
and singing of the Ave Maria" by
Rosa Palacios, the Mexican prima donna.
In addition addresses were made by
Seniors Andres Clement Vasquez,
Eduardo Zarate and Anselma Olfaro.
This morning the Municipio Libre, organ
of the city government, publishes a
portrait of Gen. Grant, with an eloquent
sketch of his life, while the press gen.

outside of its Uranium, where the feat
ures of the frog are perfectly developed.
The girl was attended by oEe of the lead
ing physicians, who took charge of this
phenomenon of nature, and now has it
preserved in alcohol. The production
survived several hours after birth, and
its cries sounded more like a bull-frog's
grrunt than the squali of a babe.
1t is truly a subject for scientific spec
u~lation, and while the above brief state
ment sounds "fshy," the writer is
willing to make affidavit to its truth
f%ulness, no exaggeration having been
male in any particular.

KREMsIEB, August q. - Emperor
Francis Joseph yesterday conferred the
order of the Grand Cross of st. Stephen
upon the Grand Duke George, second
son of the Gar, and also appointed him
to a lieutenancy in the Imperial Aus
trian Uhlans. The Grand Duke is in
his sixteenth year. An eye witness of
the whole pageant at Kremsier asserts
that, despite the efforts to make it ap-
pear that no dread of personal danger to
the Gar was entertained, Alexander was
really alert and uneasy, and added to
the secret precautions arranged for his
safety more than one device of his own.
He was pale and careworn during the
entire stay, and he himself suggested
several precautions to the Austrian au-
thorities. A few uuimportant arrests
were made during his stay. The Gar
owns a large mastiff, possessed of uncom-
mon strength. The mastiff has been
carefully trained as a bodyguard, and as
is well known in st. Petersburg and
Moscow, watches besides his master
couch every night. This dog accompan-
led the Car to and from Kremsier.

the following particulars OF the burst

enroute to Dundy Creek, camped in
Richman Canyon, half mile from the
Republican River, nine miles east of this
place. AT dark heavy rain set in. and
about 10 O'Clock Il waterspout burst
short distance above, flooding the
heretofore dry canyon to depth of
fifteen feet. This came down the
canyon, the waves each rising a foot or
two higher than their predecessors.
The party were asleep in their wagons.
The one nearest the bed of the stream
was occupied by John Osmer. wife and
four children and two other children.
The third was occupied by Joseph
Havelic, wife and three children. When
the flood struck the wagons Havelic
was the first to arouse He jumped up,
grasped the wagon tongue and at
tempted to pull the wagon out of the
water. Fresh waves struck it, wrestling
the tongue from his grasp and carrying
the wagon out in the raging flood
Osmer had already jumped to his
wagon and succeeded in getting the four
children TO the shore. but before he
could return TO the wagon it was carried
down the seething canyon. The first
Mack knew of the situation, he was
sailing down the stream. Seeing tree
just ahead. he bid his wife and son cling
to him and he would try catch the tree.
He succeeded, but the sudden stop
shook off his wife and son and they
went down in the flood. Mack climbed
in the tree, from which he was res
cued in the morning. Havelic and
Osmer finally found the residence of
Simon Jennings, half mile off, and
made known what had happened.
Word was sent to Indianola and by
noon 100 people were searching for the
bodies. Up to tonight but two of the
eleven bodies missing had been found.
