Ice GOrge In the Missouri.

Sioux Cry, IA, March 22.-An ice
gorge in the Missouri, about fifteen
mi es up the river from here, has
caused an overflow, submerging much
valley land. North and west of Elk
Point, Oak, is a vast sheet of water as
far as the eye canreach. 1t is reported
that farmers in the flooded district
have fled and driven their stock to the
ridges The ice has not moved in the
river here. Another report sa the
water now flows from the Missouri
across to the Big Sioux, and has taken
away three miles of the Chicago, Mil
waulIee and st. Paul track, between
Jefferson and Elk Point, and it will
be impossible for trains TO run for
several days. Thework train returned,
unable TO do anything until the water
goes down. The uneasiness at Elk
Point has subsidized somewhat, as the
water has not overrun the town and
is not rising.

LONDON, March 22.-Karl Blind, in
a letter 10 a friend, denounces home
rule. He says it would entail upon
England C Instant vigilance and ex-
pence and danger Cfa foreign invasion !;
would subject the loyal Irish to the
yoke of POpery, aud would imperil re-
ligous equality and civil inStitutions.
The Irish Defense Union has writ
ten a long letter to Mr.. Gladstone,
giving its views on the Irish question.
The union declares, frat. that social
order does not exist in Ireland; Sec
ond, that the Irish farmers have been
encouraged to repudiste the land acts
Of 1870 and 1881; and, third, that the
desire for self-governmeut Ia really q

LONDON, March 22.-The political
deadlock continues. The Earl OF
Rosebery, Secretary for Foreign AZ

Mr.. Gladstone. The Cabinet has not
been summoned 70 a special meeting

Secretary for the Colonies; Earl
Spencer, ex.Irish Viceroy, and now

The MalIoy- Lee Trial.


SPRINGFIELD, Mo-, March 22.-More
rapid progress was made in the Nal
loy-Lee trial than on any previous
day.
Jack O'Neal, constable of Brook.
line township, stated that Mrs. NAL
10y came to him all in a culver about
a letter he had written for Charlie to
folks in Fort Wayne. She stated that
Sarah was in a house of ill-fame in st.
Louis. She had written to witness
asking him to come over and see if
things could not be settled. When
he told Cora he was looking for Sarah
Graham she asked him to come over
Monday and talk things over.
Isaac Hice testified that Mrs. Malloy
stated IN Brookline she would ferret
this matter TO the bottom, but she
had to his knowledge made no effort
to do so.
r. p. Norman stated that on October
4th and 9th he found the pasture-gate
fastened and a sign, mo Huuting -
No Road Here" on the gate.
The most important witness was
Everett Cannefax, who was hunting
directly after the fair, in Newbill's
pasture, adjoining the Malloy pasture.
Late in the evening he saw Graham
and Cora 200 yards from the well, APP
parently Loo ing for something, They
came up to the well and looked into it.
Cannefax started to get over the fence
when the rail broke, and they saw
him. They approached him rapidly.
Both seemed much excited. Ora
ham ordered him off the prem
ises. He said he allowed no
hunting or trespassing. Witness went
back short distance in Newbill's
pasture. When Graham and Cora
were 200 yards away he crossed the
fence and approached them. Graham
again ordered him out; told him to
climb over the north fence, apparent
ly wishing him to steer clear OF the
well. Cora worked her Jaws. He
didn't know what she said. Cannefax
met Graham in the pasture
previous to that fatal night and that
worthy never objected
The testimony of Cannefax was
plainly surprise TO defense. He was
on cross-examination The |
belief is general that Cora would be
held on testimony already in. If Mrs. |
Malloy escapes it will be with a repu-
alton forever blasted.
