yards the water was over head deep and peo-
pie escaping from their lettering and tumb-
| ling homes were compelled to drift off on
hastily improvised RATS. In the vicinity of
the Beach hotel the bath houses, immense
pagodas, and saloons were washed away,
and the basement of the hotel was flooded.
All the street railway tracks on the beach
and the tracks of the narrow guage Texas
d Mexico railway were torn away. Nearly
every bridge IN the city went down. On the
| bay small craft suffered immensely. The
schooner "Laomi Perkins" was wrecked
and all but one of her crew of six lost.
| Frank Deman, a Bohemian laborer, muir
dered his wife and shot himself at their
| home, in Chicago. Frank Kubaha, young
man, heard the report of a revolver i'll the
! adjoining house, which was occupied by the
| Demans; and moment later saw Deman
rush from the back door into the alley wild
| ly brandishing revolver. Kubaha glanced
through the window and saw the form OF
Mrs. Deman PROSTATE on the floor, bleeding
! from wound n her left breast. He ran
! after the murderer 8nd attempted to arrest
! him, but Deman turned and fired at him.
| Kubaha turned back into the house and at
! tempted to revive the wounded woman, but
| his efforts were IN vain and she died in q
| few moments. He called the neighbors,
who soon congregated and surrounded the
murderer, who seeing that escape was cut off
| pointed his still smoking weapon at his own
breast and fell shot through the heart. He
died almost instantly, Deman was about
| sixty years old and his wife fifty-tive. The
| couple had three sons who were employed
| in the Maleable Iron works and were toler-
able we'll to do. They have lived pleasantly
so far as known, and no cause is given for
the fatal quarrel.

The body of woman was discovered near
| Springfield, o. The features were horribly
distorted and black as a negro from expos
ure to the elements. Decomposition had set
in, and the CHASTITY expression of the face
and the terrible stencil made most sicken-
ing cas-. -. close examinetionIit was found
| the victim had been apparently beaten ter
ribly about the head and body. The skull
was crushed in on top and back of the ear,
and blood and fetid matter was oOZing out.
Several clews we're followed up but failed to
identify the woman until the news came to
the ears of friends of Mary Ackerer, a Ger
man girl who disappeared Friday night
from the boarding house of Emil Thisse, on
| East Main street. where she had been fol-
several weeks. Her brother soon appeared
with photograph which answered in gen
eral the description of the corpse. Late al
night the coroner took the key found on hel
to the Thisse boarding house and found il
unlocked the door to her room from both
sides. dress found in the deserted room
also correspOnded exactly with the one IN
the photograph. She was an innocent and
unsuspecting creature, and it is believed
some scoundrel had lured her off and foully
murdered her.
Mr.. Blaine made the second speech of the
campaign at North Berwick, Me. He twltteC
the prohibitionists of Inconsistency and OF
ingratitude toward the republican party
which had given the state all the prohibitive
legislation it ever had. The prohibitionist;
did not expect to elect anybody of thell

Passing to the fisheries question, Mr.. Blain,
said Canada is in very peculiar position
She wants to enjoy the pride and sentlmeD
of belonging to the British empire and Il

the American market at the same time, w
don't think that fair. Mr.. Blaine read a
length from the late treaty with Canada
commenting as he proceeded, and showing
that by its terms the United States wer
placed at a great disadvantage.
There Is no longer any reasonable douD
that the government has fully decided Il
permanently remove from the territory o
Arizona those members of the Chiricahua
and Warm Spring bands of Apaches now oil
the San Carlos reservation. The only i'm
portant question not yet decided Is said L
} be where shall they be located. This ques
ton, which is a very important one, has re
ceived earnest and thoughtful consideration
and there now seems TO be a probabilit
, that they will be placed on the Fort Marion
military reservation at St. Augustine, Flori
da, where Geronimo and his band are nov

ton Is, however. regarded a a serious fault
and some other less Objectionable may yet b
