A Terrible Drouth in Texas.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, May 19.-Ma-
jor d. NJ. Bash, of the United States
army, has Just returned to depart
ment headquarters from an extend
ed trip throughout southwest Texas
as far west as Fit. Davis. He passed
through the centre of the great sheep
grazing section Of Texas, and reports
that a terrible drouth prevails in
Preside, Pecos and Crockett coun-
ties. These counties embrace an
area somewhat exceeding the area of
the State of Maine. Until a fort
night ago the larger part of the coun-
try has not been visited by a heavy
rainfall for ever Is months, and the
recent rains prove to have done
but little apparent good, as the wa
ter, instead of filling the small
steams and reservoirs was soaked up
by the burning prairies. Major Bash
says that for many miles, as far as
the eve can reach, the country is
bare of vegetation, not even weeds
are growing.
Hundreds of small streams are
dried up, and water, even for living
purposes, is sparingly dealt out at
the ranches. He relates several in
stances that came under his observa-
ton, showing the terrible effect of
the drouth on sheep and cattle. On
the Meyer Half ranch, out of 5000
cattle, 5000 have died within the
past month, and the prairie is liter
ally strewn with c~arcasses. surround
ed by myriads of huge buzzards.
On another ranch 5000 sheep have
died, while on one of the largest the
fiockmaster was compelled to kill
5000 lambs, and a neighboring
herder 5000 lambs because their
mothers were too weak from starva-
ton TO afford them nourishment.
Bash describes the situation in
this far west country as terrible be-
yond description. The shepherds
told him that unless rain fell shortly
every human being and domestic
animal would be compelled to va
cate that district and move to the
north of Texas.

son, q worthy son of Franklin Coun-
ty, for the office of Auditor General.
His character as a man, his faithful
services to the party, his business
experience and capacity, his splen-
did record as a soldier and his abil-
ity as a campaigner all combine to
make him one Of the most worthy
and strongest candidates that could
be placed in nomination by the State
Convention.
The hearty commendation in a
third of the series was as follows:
The name of Col. Thomas Crime
son, a native and a lifelong citizen
of Franklin County, will be submit
ted to the coming Republican State
Convention for nomination to the
Office of Auditor General of the Com
monwealth.
The best evidence of fitness for a
public trust lie found in a record OF
other public duties thoroughly well
performed.
In both his military and civil ser
vice the conduct of Co. Crimson
exhibits an unbroken series of acts
resulting as well to the profit of the
Government and country as to his
own credit, his GOODNESS, intrepedity
and sound Judgment as a soldier be-
ing matched by bis official integrity
and intelligent zeal as a civil officer;
faithful and efficient in both capaci-
ties, be merits renewed confidence
and trust.

A Good Man Gone.

YoNKERs, n. Y, May 21.-Dr. Dio
Lewis, author and reformer, died at
his home here this morning at s
o'clock, after an illness of two or
three days from erysipelas. He was
thrown from his horse several weeks
ago, and suffered a confused wound
below the left knee. He had recov-
cred sufficiently on Wednesday of
last week to come to New York on
business. On his return he was car
ried past Yonkers station to Has
tings, four miles above this place,
and to save a long delay he walked
home. His wound began to swell
and pain him, and his physician
said that erysipelas had set in. he
steadily sank until this morning,
when death came to his relief.
IDr. Lewis was born in New York
in 1928, studied at the Harvard
Medical school, and practiced for a
time at Port Byron and Buffalo. At
the latter place he published a
monthly periodical, in which he ad-
vanced the idea that diet and exer-
else should take the place of drugs
in the treatment Of disease with a
course of light gymnastics for the
preservation of health. In 1868 he
founded a school at Boston for train
ing teachers in his system. Later
he established a seminary for young
teachers at Lexington, Mass, in
which he sought TO carry out his
ideas. His building was burned in
1867, when DR.. Lewis engaged in
medical practice in Boston. In that
city he introduced the Turkish bath,
which he regarded as a powerful
sanitary agent. He was the author
of several works on hygiene and
kindred subjects.

Remarkable Death of a woman

GREENvILLE, Ind, May 23.-
About eight years ago Abraham Van
Horn bought a farm in Crystal
township from a Mrs. Lyons. While
the trade was pending Van Horn
indicated suspicious as to the clear
ness of the title, and so expressed
himself. Mrs. Lyons grew very in
dignant. and in angry voice cried
out: If | am trying to cheat you.
| hope God may strike me dead p
The trade was consummated, and
during all these years Mr.. Van
Horn has remained in undisturbed
possession ofthe land. Mrs. Lyons
removed to a neighboring township.
A few days since Mr.. Masten served
a notice of ejectment upon Van
Horn; claiming to have a clear title
to the property. Van Horn advised
with q lawyer, who suggested that
be call upon Mrs. Lyons at once
and demand that she should secure
him from loss.
Yesterday Van Horn visited Mrs.
Lyons and made the demand. The
woman heard him through, and
then, as if in answe to the hope ex-
pressed eight years ago, she gave a
loud cry and dropped dead. The
neighborhood is greatly excited over
the event.

Mormons Put to Rout.

FAYETTE CITY, Pa, May 20.-Sev-
en- Mormon missionaries from Utah
began a seriesof proselyting meetings
at the Valley Schoolhouse in Wash
ington township, one mile south of
this place, last Sunday. Their
meetings were largely attended and
they baptised several converts. The
citizens became indignant and de-
manded that the schoolhouse be
closed against them, but this was
not done.
Last night the house was over.

services Parker Claybaugh, a Justice
of the peace. arose and denounced
MormonIsm in q speech of half an
hour. He procured a glass of solu-
ton of arsenic and challenged the
preacher % drink it, the Mormon
having said in his sermon that he
could do so without harm. He
refused Claybaugh branded him
as an imposition, and the meeting
broke UP in a tunult, during which
clubs, stones and other missiles were
used on the missionaries. They fed
for their lives, but were so closly
pursued by the mob that they i'm

to their stopping places. 1t is not
known whether they will seek to
continue their meetings or not. The
converts were good citizens.

Great Floods IN South carolina.

COLUMBIA. May 21.-Yesterday
morning a terrible rain storm vslited
this city and the upper part OF the
State. Seven to nine inches of wa

The plantation has become an island
and the water is still rising. Boats
are being sent to their assistance.
Cotton in low lands has been des-
troyed, and the loss of cattle is very
great. One cattle raiser, a few miles
above Columbia, los: $4,000 worth

THE b. AND .. BRIDGE
to be Built Across Arthur
Kill in Spite OF Old Pe0nsy
and Its Allies.

WASHINGTON, May 20.-The Sen
ate to-day resumed consideration of
the Staten Island bridge bill, and,
after consuming almost the entire
session in its discussion, passed it
unanimously. The tunnel amend
ment received only five -votes-Bow
en-, Hampton. Mcpherson, Plumb
and Sewell. But these Senators did
not vote against the bill on its final
passage. While the interests involv-
ed in this measure are, no doubt,
very great, the discussion Of it to-
day was not quite thrilling enough
to fill up the galleries or keep Sena-
tors in their seats. The speeches
were very good, in their way. SEN
ator Vest made one of his strong ar
guments in favor of the bill, and
urged its importance to the COM
MERGE of the country. Among Mr..
Vests other forcible points of argu-
ment were such as these: The river
men of the country seemed not to
appreciate the great change that had
taken place in the transportation
business of the country. The strug-
gle in the present case was intensi-
fed by a struggle between the Penn
sylvania and the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Companies. The
Pennsylvania Company was anx-
ious to keep the Baltimore and
Ohio out of New York City. 1t was
the old story. Mr.. Vest said the
plea that this ease would be taken
as a precedent against building any
bridges at all. The steamboat inter-
ests of the Mississippi river had OPP
posed the bridge at st. Louis, and
prophesied the destruction of the
commerce OF that river. Even the
Engineers Association had held a
convention and declared that the ST.
Louis bridge would be q failure as
an engineering work yet it was
still standing, and would stand, APP
pareDtly as long as the banks of the
river. Was no bridge to be built be-
cause the Pennsylvania Railroad.
and even the State of New Jersey
opposed it? The commerce of the
whole country had to be considered.
Senator Sewell, with a large parch-
ment map spread out ever several
desks before him, attempted to DEM
onstrate the detriment to commerce
and the individuality of the bridge.
Other speeches were made, no less
thrilling, though in a commercial
point of view, no bill OF greater i'm
portance has passed this session
There seems to be no doubt of its
passage in the House. Being re-
garded in the interest of cheap trans
portation, as it will aid competition
between the great through lines, it
is likely TO capture the votes of the
large granger element in the house
from the West, and this in itself is
almost enough to pass il.

ST.. PAUL, Mimi. May 23.-Tbe
special crop reports of the North

good. the exception being in the low
ground of the Upper Red River Val

the Mississippi river and particular
ly in Iowa, where the rains have
been heavy and frequent and seed

the youngest 4 years, persisted in the

Mooney, was awakened by the
children's cries and rushed out OF
the house only to be told by the
frantic mother that her four little
ones were still in the burning build
ing. Both mother and uncle rushed
into the flames time and again, but
were beaten back, Mr.. Mooney at
length falling exhausted and terri

hands hung in shreds. 1t took but
a few moments longer for the crack

building. and this morning bits of
flesh and the larger bones Ct the
bodies of the four little ones were
found in the ruins. Lawrence Moon

Martin Irons in Danger.

SEDALIA, Mo-, May 22.-J. H.
Daley, of Little Rock, member Of
District Assembly 10l, of the
Knights of Labor, is in this city for
the purpose of investigating the
charges made by several of the
strikers that the relief funds sent to
this city had been improperly dis
bused. He will check up the books
tomorrow, and if there has been
any crooked transactions they will
be brought to light.
Martin Irons, it is claimed, had a
narrow escape from a mob of strik-
ers last night or early this morning.
The men are very bitter towards
him, and it is asserted that they
visited his residence for the purpose
of warning him to leave the city.
He must have received an inkliug
that he would he called upon, as he
passed the night at the house of a
friend, and boarded the southbound
Missouri, Kansas and Texas train
east this morning for parts I'M
known.
