has risen steadily for the past twenty-four
hours and is still rising It now flows in a
steady current through the main street.
Ali of the east part of the city is under
| water. In the bottoms the crops are all
gone and most Of the stock is drowned.
So far as known no lives have been lost,
although many families have been driven
to the second story of their dwellings. The
| floors Of business houses on the main
street are covered from one to five inches.
The water is about twenty inches deep in
the main street i'll front of the Postoilice.
All dwelers in the northeast quarter of the
city moved out during the night. The
firing of guns and ringing of bells have
been heard up the river, and fears are en-
tertained for the safety of some families.
All boats are out rescuing them, but the
rise is SO sudden that nearly all boats es-
capped on the morning of the %.
ALL THE HARVESTED WHEAT SWEPT AWAY.
KANSAS CITY (Mo.), July 3d.-The Jour
mats Leroy (Ks.) special say The Neosho
river at this point is on a stand. All the
harvested wheat has been swept away,
much live stock was drowned, and the loss

THREE LIVES LOST
FoRr SCorT (Ks), July 3d.-A railroad
| accident occurred to-day on the Kansas
| City, Springfield and Memphis Railroad,
! between Arcadia and Liberal, about %
miles south of this city. The heavy rains
| Of the last few days had caused the streams
| to swell to an unusual extent, and as freight
train No. 5, in charge of conductor Ed
| Thomson, passed over small stream at
that point the bridge gave way, and the
engine and sixteen cars were precipitated
| into the water. The conductor was in the
cab at the time, and he, with the engineer,
| Robert Ross, and fireman William Rey-
nOlds, went down with the engine and all
! three were drowned
The Secret of ConklIng's silence.
New YORK, July 3d.-A Watertown, n
! Y, special TO the Times says; Since the
announcement of the sale of the Albany
| ErpTeSS, and the reported afliliation of
| Blaine and COnkling as its silent proprie-
! tors, the Stawarts of Jefferson and ST.
| Lawrence counties have been astir, and the
secrets OF the campaign held by them begin
30 come out. No doubt the movement
means an endeaYor to secure the defeat of
| Warren Mi!ler's denomination as Senator,
and urging Conkling to take the seat once
more. Whether COnkhng is party to the
scheme is not known. His friends in north
ern New York are sanguine that he will
not disappoint them" The Times, com
menting on the above, says: If Conkling
were looking about for political hepniate
| he would not be likely 10 select Blaine, but
Logan. The rumor is improbable, for the
| reason that the new editor of the ALBANY
ErpreSS has distinctly said the Express
| would not be an organ. The WatertOwn
special states that an autograph letter from
Blaine to Conkling, written last fall, re-
questing Conkling's cooperation in the
campaign, but which was suppressed by
Warren Millers friends, is now in posses
sion Of ConkliDgs friends. The letter was
written upon Conkling's intimation that he
would take the stump for Blaine if person
ally requested so to do. The members of
the Republican Executive Committee, to
whose care it was sent, yielded to the ad-
vice of Miller and his friends, who foresaw
that COnlling's return to political life
meant Miller's retirement, and consented
to suppress the letter. At conference of
| the Republicans at Ogdensburg, Saturday
last, all this was freely ventilated. Whether
the story of Conkling's willingness to enter
the field and punish Millers treachery is
true or not, it is believed in his part Of the
State that the disclosures have killed
Miller's chances for reelection.
The Chicago Street Railroad Strike.
CHICAGO, July 3d.-The West Division
Street Railway began moving their cars on
Madison street this morning, under the
protection of a large force of police. A
barricade had been erected at one point on
the route, but the police charged the crowd,
| using their clubs freely, and two men were
seriously injured. The police took the ag-
gressive, and, as it was known that they
had orders to shoot, the crowd hesitated
about becoming too demonstratiye. Ar
rests were made on every hand of persons
jeering or in any way seeking to create
disturbance, and the malefactors were
carted off to the police stations. Over one
hundred arrests were made during the
morning. The cars made one round trip
successfully, and then started on the second
trip. Madison street was densely thronged
along its entire length, but large force
succeeded in maintaining comparatively
good order. At noon the cars We're still
running, carrying, however, only police
men, and no serious outbreak has occurred.
