church and society was created here to-day
by the publication in the Times of legal
documents and interviews from Rochester,

D. Jardine, rector Of St. Mary's Episcopal
church of this city, had served term OF
two years in the Monroe County Peniten-
tiary, New York, having been sentenced
when he was II years old for burglarizing
the store OF his brother-in-law, Mr.. Pritchard
of Rochester, in 1860. A libel suit for $780,
0OOhas been for some time pending against
the Times for publishing certain charges OF
against Jardine. Father Jardine
was not accessible to-day, but was inter-
viewed by a reporter this evening. He did
not say he had served a term in the Peni-
tentiary in his early life. A meeting OF the
vestrymen of st. Mary's is in session to-

Lords says he is a peer OF the fourth son IN OF

alleged, married Mary MacAdams, in New

ed this evening in the most aristocratic por-
tion OF London by the bursting of sewer,
which had been overstrained by the recent

PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
New Accommodations Needed, and the
Prospective Supply.

The board OF school trustees for this
district held a meeting Thursday night at
the office of Justice Nichols for the purpose
OF electing teachers for the ensuing year.
The clerk being absent that business was
dispensed with until subsequent meeting.
There was considerable informal talk over
the matter and judging by the tone OF the
members it is reasonable to predict that
there will be very few if any changes among
the teachers. The feasibility OF erecting a
new school building at Walkerville was dis
cussed fully and the conclusion reached to
instruct the clerk to advertise for proposals
for the work. The proposition, which is to
be submitted to vote OF the people on the
Goth inst. for additional school buildings
for Butte was informally talked over, after
which the board adjourned.

suit of Amanda Delphine, formerly known
to the stage as Blanche Vega, against
R. Sheppard, OF Peruvian claim fame and
the Washington Coal Company of Virginia,
was begun to-day. In her bill the plaintlff
claims that SHEPPARD, in the guise OF her
attorney, for the raising OF a loan OF soo'-
900 on some coal lands, while she was sick,
procured her signature to papers giving
him powers, the character OF which she did
not understand. Sheppard in his answer
claims that he acted strictly within his
power as her solicitor, and that the suit
was in the nature OF blackmail. He ap-
peared as his own attorney. Mrs. Delphlne
made various personal accusations against
Shephard during her testimony.

TWO CLOUD BURSTS,
Attended With Great Loss of Life
and Much Destitution, Reported
From Mexico.

GALVESTON, June "a special to the
News from El Paso, says: Yesterday a
waterspout burst in the mountains, about
eight leagues east OF Lagos, in Mexico, near
the dividing line between the States of
Guanojuats and Jalisco. The effects were
wost deplorable. Immence quantities of
water swept down the mountains with
irresistible force towards the well populated
plains and valleys below, and left desola-
tion and ruin in their wake. There are
already one hundred lives reported to be
lost, and it is feared the list may be
swelled still larger when all the details are
known. A great many houses have been
swept away. Steps have taken in Lagos
among wealthy manufacturing classes to
alleviate the pressing wants OF many who
escaped from the valleys, but lost every
thing.
LARGE LOSS OF LIFE.
Ell PAsco, Tex, June 9.-The particulars
OF a fearful water spout, which burst near
Logos, Mexico, on the 7th inst, were re-
ceived here tonight. The loss OF life proves
to be greater than at first reported. At
few minutes rose to height of twenty-five
feet. This great flood swept everything
before it and at that place alone nearly
200 lives were lost. Great distress prevails
along the entire valley and immediate re-
lief is greatly needed. Particulars from
other points have not yet been received.
ANOTHER WATER SPOUT.
The large city OF Guanajuto was flooded
by tremendous water spout, which did
fearful damage. The water spout burst at
point about mile above the city and in
few moments a roaring torrent six feet
high covered the very center OF the ely
A complimentary amateur performance iii
honor of the Governor and ex-President
Manuel Gonzales was in progress at the
theater at the time the water spout burst.
The building was crowded with the elite of
the city. When the alarm was sounded
about 1890 o'clock, wild panic ensued
in the theater. Ladies tainted and all
seemed frenzied with fear. Every one
rushed frantically for the door, trampling
the weak under foot. The scene was indes-
cribable. Many persons were fatally
injured. The force OF the flood down the
streets broke open many doors. The
office Of the Singer Sewing Machine Co. had
six feet of water in it and many other
buildings suffered likewise. The damage is
estimated at over 100000. The principal
sufferers are Obregon & Co., Lorenzo
Marquese and the Singer Sewing Machine
Co. 1t is not yet known how many lives
were lost.

Nice Questions Regarding His ExtralitiOn
From British Columbia.

WASHINGTON, June 1O.-The postoffice
inspectors who have been pursuing Hibbs,
the defaulting postmaster OF lewiston,
Idaho, have discovered that he is in Far
well, town 45O miles distant from Vic
toria, B. C. AS he is accompanied by his
family, the inspectors have little doubt OF
being able to arrest. It is probable that
an attempt to effect his extradition will be
involved in difficulty, and may raise nice
point. He could not be held for embezzle-
ment, as that offense is not covered by the
existing treaties with British Columbia, nor
forgery, as he was acting in the capacity OF
postmaster when he drew the fraudulent
money orders. 1t is hoped that he may be
!, id upon the charge OF stealing letters ad-
-!.s:;s.s.i to another person, but this again
involves nice question. The letters Hibbs
took from the pouches were addressed to
one Davis, which was the name assumed
for the purpose by himself.

Manning Will Ask for the Repeal Of the
Bland J: ct.
LONDON, June 9.-The Pail Mall Gazette
states that Delmar, in his interview, said
that President Cleveland left the practical
treatment OF the silver question to Secre-
tary Manning, whose mind is fixed on a
gold doctrine, and who is using all oppor-
tunities to discourage the inonetization OF
silver Delmar said that Manning, in his
annual report for the fiscal year ending June
80, 1885, will probably recommend the
repeal OF the Bland act. This srecommenda-
ton will be supported by both the Treas
urer and Comptroller Of the Currency, and
after them by the entire Eastern press and
banks. In his annual message to
Congress, Delmar predicted that President
Cleveland would make similar recon-
mendation. Delmar believed the effect OF
the demonstration of silver in America
upon Indian coinage would be the reduc-
ton of the value OF a rupee, now worth Is.
to Is. Id, perhaps even lower. To save
India from disaster, he said two measures
could be adopted. The mints in England
could be reopened to the free coinage OF sill
yer, and the Indian mints closed to silver.
