ONE HUNDRED LIVES LOST.
WaterspOut in Mexico Carries Death
 and Ruin In Its Course.

GALVESTON, Tex, June 8.-A dispatch from Fl Paso says: t'Yesterday 8 waterspout burst in the mountains, about eight leagues east of La- gos, Mex, near the dividing line between the States of Guanainato and Jalisco. The effects were deplorable. Immense quantities of water swept down the mountains with irresistible force toward the well-populated plains and valleys below, and great many houses were swept away. Steps have been taken in Lagos among the wealthy manufacturing classes to alleviate the pressing wants of many who escaped from the valleys but lost everything. There are already 100 lives reported lost, and it is feared that the list may be swelled still larger when all the details are known.
 Further particulars of the fearful water spout which burst near Lagos, Mexico, on the 9th inst. were received. At Puebla Guarantees the rushing waters in few minutes rose to height of twenty-five feet.
 This great flood swept everything before it, and at that place alone over 200 lives were lost. Great distress prevails along the entire valley, and immediate relief is greatly needed. The large city of Guanajucito was flooded also by 8 tremendous waterspout, which burst about mile above the city, and in few min- utes water to the depth of six feet covered the very centre of the city.
 A complimentary amateur performance in honor of the Governor and ex-President, Man uel Gonzales, was in progress at the theatre. The building was crowded with the elite of the city.
 When an alarm was sounded at about 10:30 o'clock wild panic engued. Ladies tainted, and all seemed frenzied with fear. Everyone rushed for the door, trampling the weak under loot. Many persons were fatally injured. The damage to property is estimated st over $10O,0OO. It is not yet known how many lives were lost

A CASE WITHOUT PARALLEL.
The Wonderful Discovery Made In Re- moving u Supposed TumOr of 13 Years Standing.

Mrs. l.. J. Putnam, of Chicago who under went surgical operation for the removal of 8 supposed tumor from the abdomen, from which she had suffered for thirteen years, but which, when removed, proved to be fully formed and well-developed child, died on Wednesday. The case is without parallel in medical records. Mrs. Putnam was over 50 years of age, and her husband has been dead nine years.
 Four years previous to his death, after ex- posture in & rain storm, she was taken sick, and an enlargement, which was pronounced a tumor, began to form in the abdomen. After consulting various Chicago physicians, who failed to do anything to relieve her sufferings, she sent for leading physician in St. Louis, who told her that it would be impossible to re- move the tumor except at the cost Of her life. He advised her to go to St. Louis and place herself under his treatment. She did so in the fall of 1882, and remained under his care for several months, but received no benefit. She had been subject to spasms, which the phy- sicians generally agreed were epileptic fits. These convulsions increased until she had as many as six day. They came on without warning, oftentines while she was in the street, lasting from five minutes to over sn hour, but with no pain.
 During the thirteen years that she suffered from this supposed tumor she had been under the constant treatment of the best physicians in Chicago, they all believing that the tumor cOulO pc AD5OrDeu ana WOulu eVenIually ulsap- pear. About month ago she consulted Dr. J. H. McFatrich, who told her that medicine would not help her, and that nothing would save her except surgical operation, and that would probably kill her. After several more attempts to get relief with medicine, Mrs. Put nam decided to allow the operation to be per formed. Accordingly Drs. McFatrich, Milton Jay and A. l.. Clark met at her residence to perform the operation.
 After an affecting parting with her family and friends, she prepared for the ordeal. She was put under the influence of ether and an incision was made in the abdomen, when in- stead of tumor, the operator drew out a child, which was alive and in good health. The patient regained consciousness and there was hope of her recovery, but in the following evening she suddenly became unconscious. Dr. McFatrich was summoned and admin stered restoratives, but she did not regain con- sciousness, and died at 11:S0. Death was caused by shock.

He Had to Live Somehow.

A New Yorker who was coming home from California recently, had his pocket picked by fellow passenger on a train, as they came through Arizona. The victim discovered his loss too late to capture the sharper, and when he ap- pealed to the conductor for consolation that official replied:
 "Ah it was the fellow with the hawk eyes,"
 "Yes."
 'Very smooth talker"
 "He was"
 "Well, he used to sell silver mines to Boston parties, and as that business is now played out, and he's got to live somehow, he has probably turned to pocket-picking. He's an honorable man, though, and will mail you any receipts or gas bills he may find in the wallet. |" = WGH Street Neaps.

APPALLING ACCIDENT IN FRANCE.
24 Killed md 163 InIured-A Massive Stone Staircase Gives Way.


 
 At Thiers, town in the Department of Puy- de-Dome, 8 murder trial has been in progress for some days. On the last day of the trial, the courthouse was crowded with men and women anxious to witness the closing scenes. When the people were leaving, immediately after the adjournment of the court, and were damned upon the stone stairway leading to the street, the lofty staircase fell.
 The scene that followed was appalling. Im- mensc masses of masonry from above crashed down upon the struggling people below, grinding through their flesh aud bones and maiming and mutilating them in horrible manner. The fall of the staircase and the shrieks of the people lying helpless in the ruins caused panic in the courtroom, and there was rush for the now wrecked exit, Those who were in front were unable to with stand the pressure from behind and were hurled down upon the men and women crushed in the fall of the staircase and whom the people in the street were already striving to rescue. When at length the panic had ex- hausted itself and the immense stone steps of the fallen staircase had been removed twenty persons were taken from the ruins dead. The injured numbered not less than 100, and many of these will die.
 Many of the injured are women. When the massive stone staircase fell, the immense stone steps above with the people upon them were adding to the horrors of the awful spectacle. A later dispatch from Thiers makes the calamity by far more disastrous in it's conse- quences than the earlier dispatches indicated. The dead already number 24. The total num- Der of the injured is now placed at 163. Of these fourteen are very seriously injured aud some of them will die.

SOME INTERESTING FIGURES.
The Losses lin tho Union Army During
 the War.

In June, 1884, General Drum directed Mir. J. ". Kirkley, an experienced statistician of the Adjutant-General's Office, to begin the compilation of the record of the losses during the war; with the aid of ten clerks. The table shows total of 9,S53 deaths of commissioned officers and 3499 deaths of enlisted men, making an aggregate of S59, ,496 deaths among the Union forces. -. ..-
 The death registers of some of the largest prisons at the South, used for the confinement of Union soldiers, are missing. Even in this most imperfect record, the number of Union soldiers known to have died in captivity was close upon thirty thousand-in exact figures, 29, 498 The late investigation, we may add has increased by about one-sixth the records of deaths among Union prisoners.
 Taking Mir Kirkley's tables, we derive from them the following general results
