beyond resurrection, and is worthless as

look back into the past with your face
towards the future, lis to stllmbl through

fence should have taught you to avoid.
Let the past 60, for to- waste time idly

DISASTROUS FLOODS,
Many Persons in Kansas Drowned
by a WRterspOut.

A dispatch from Medicine Lodge, Kansas,
tells Of the fearful results OF a water-spout or
cloud burst, to the residents of the Medicine
river. The water rolled down over the
lowlands, east OF Medicine Lodge City, in
wave five to twelve feet high, carry
ing death in its wake Several fami-
lies are known to be drowned Parties who
went out to give relief found men, women
and children clinging to trees with nothing
but their night clothes to protect them, and
some without any clothing whatever but still
alive. Their cries could be heard as early as
o'clock in the morning, above the waving
waters. Three attempts We're made to res
cue parties beyond the river but each boat
in turn was swampei. and the occupants
only saved themselves by swimming to trees
A relief party was out all night picking up
those unfortunates. The people in Medicine
river bottoms had earlier warning and
all escaped with their lives. Hundreds
of cattle We're drowned AMI great fields of
crops ruined. Hundreds of dead animals also
line the banks of Elm creek The rise started
at dark and rain poured steadily for six
hours, which was followed by great cloud
burst north of the town.
Among those known to belost are che fol-
lowing:
G.. w. Paddock, wife and four children /;
bodies of wife and three of the children re
covered.
Jerry Gibbs and daughter.
Mrs. Hrrris and daughter bodies of latter
two recovered.
Wife ami four children of Samuel Mad
dox ; bodies of the woman and two children
recovered.

A RUSSIAN CONCESSION,
COnsenting 10 n uixcd Commission Oi
inquiry into the Pcnidch Affair.

y st Petersburg correspondent states that
the latest English proposals arrived there
by special courier The imperial
council met the next day and
decided to reply that the car
favored the maintenance of the Russian de
mand in respect to the deimitation OF the
frontier The council also resolved to inform
England that Russia would consent to the

WASHED ASHORE.
How $4,000 were Recovered by n

Halifax On. s. dispatch tells this strange
Story: A romance has come to light con-
nected with the ill-fatel steamship Daniel
Steinmann, which was wrecked at Sambro
year ago, when 124 lives were lost Previous
to his leaving home Peter Andreas Michael
sen, one of the passengers, deposited $780,
5'O and some valuables for safe keep
ing with one Herschird, of Hasle,
Denmark, and took receipt there
for. Probably imagining that no
legal evidence would ever be forthcoming
that he had the money, Herschird refused to
return it to the dead mans relatives There
upon the Danish foreign minister commune
Gated with Mr. Tobin, the Danish consul at
this port, requesting him to spare no effort
to find the receipt. The bodies and wreck
age washed ashore from time to time
have been carefully searched, and the
divers who have been working on the wreck
for the past year have kept sharp look
out for the missing document, but all without
success. Recently small trunk was washed
ashore containing a number of letters and
papers These were turnel over to the con-
sui. They were water-soaked and the writ
ing almost obliterated, but among them was
the long-looked for receipt, which, after much
difficulty, Consul Tobin deciphered and trans
lated. He has cabled the good news 10 Co
penhagen.

OUR TROOPS AT PANAMA.
The United States Expedition
Takes Charge of the Town.
Barbados Overthrown and the COL
ombians Put to Flight

A Panama dispatch says: This morning
strong barrcades were being erected in the
streets near the cable compaay's Office which
would have cut off all communication had
not the same been summary removed as the
cable office is situated in that part of the town
near the battery and two cuartels.
Seven hundred troops left Buenaventura
under command of General Villa this morning
at o'clock, being towed in hulk by the Col
ombian gunboat Boyaca and on a schooner
towed by the canal cOmpanys tugboat
An attack would have taken place imme-
d atey on the arrival of these troops on Sun
day night or Monday morning, but at half
past two this afternoon the United States
forces appeared on the scene as if by magic,
three taps of the drum being the signal by
which they started. Three columns entered
the city and had full possession in about ten
minutes knocking down the barricades as
they passed through the streets.
AT a call of the bugle the Colombian guards
withdrew into the cuartes. This splendid
coup de main has undoubtedly prevented an
other disaster similar to the burning of Aspin-
wall. Company A, under command of Can
tain Meeker and Lieutenants Denny and
Wood; Company b, under com
mand of Captain Fagin, and Company
G, under command of Lieutenants Turner
and Filette, with battery In charge of Mid
shipman Seymour, are guarding the various
streets and wharves. Company +, under
command of Lieutenants Berryman and Sut
ton, are guarding the cable office, and one
conn any is left in charge of the barracks.
General Azpuru and his ministers were
captured. When Aizpuru was arrested he
tainted several times and fell in the street
and acted Historically when taken to the
consulate. He is held a prisoner tonight at
Shuber's hotel. The troops are in good
health
AT ) o'clock this evening Captain Coch.
rane, of company G. arrived from Aspin-
wall. He says he traversed the entire length
of that city this evening with three marines,
made no demonstration, offensive or other
wise. The residents gathered in groups,
whispering and silently crowding the bal
comics.
The marines continue under arms and are
spending the night in the city.

A BOY HANGED.
Expinting the Crime OF Murder on
the GaiiOWs In Arkansas.

The execution OF Columbus l.. Moilitt, who
murdered William Wehunt three years ago,
took place at Dallas, Polk county, Ark, the
other day. Three thousand people wit
messed the hanging, The doomed man,
who was not yet twenty-one years old, met
his fat declaring his innocence The crime
he eXpiatel was committed in June, 1852
The culprit was near neighbor of the man
he wantonly killed Wehunt thrifty and
prominent farmer of Polk county, was shot
from ambush while blowing.
The missile crashed through his brain, and
he fell over his pillow a corpse. The assassin
rushed from his concealment aud after riiilnS
Wehunt ; pockets, entered thu house, near by,
and robbed it Of a considerable sum of money.
Wehunt's wife, who was engaged some dis
lance away, hearing the gun fired and see
ing the strange man, hastened 10 the
house. At the door she met young Motiitt
and asked him what he was doing there.
He made no reply, but pushing her aside
darted across the fields and disappeared in
the WOO Is. The murder and robbery created
the widest conservation, and large rewards
were offered for the murlerer's capture, but
he proved a cunning fugitive and crafty
prisoner After escaping from the Dallas
and Hot Springs jails, he was finally held at
Dallas by beinE chained TO the iail floor.

A DEADLY WHIRLWIND.
People Killed and Houses Torn TO
Pieces i'm Texas.

The Prairie Grove neghborhood eight
miles south of Maxia, Texas, was visited
about O'Clock P. NJ. by severe cyclone,
causing serious damage to life and property
The two-story school-house, in which were
about fifty children, was blown down and

tered. The residences OF NJ. b. Cox, II.
Thompson and 7. j. Williams were demol-
ished. Larkin Gentry's house, some distance
from the village, was demolished and himself

suits were probable, as the country is thickly
settled in the direction of the cyclone.
Advces also come from Northern Texas

large section Of country At Gainesville
the Pecan and Elm creeks overhowed their
banks, and beside washing away much prop
erty several lives are reported lost Women
