The Herald Injunction,

Judge Cowell sat on the bench in the district court room at 2 o'clock this after noon to hear the case of contempt against F. R. Swift and Messrs Simonson and Up- son, proprietors of the Sunday Herald, and one Brown, the pressman, for re- ing the Herald from publishing an article entitled IA Comedy of Errors" MT Root amended his complaint slightly so that the paragraphs that applied to Brown were not material.
 Attorney Walsh said that he was here for his clients to know how the act had been committed. That was all the reply he had to make. Attorney Root held that the defendants should deny or admit the facts alleged. Attorney Walsh claimed that the act had been committed before the injunction was served and that there was no disobedience of the injunction.
 Attorney Root testified to the serving of of the injunction on Swift and Simonson who told him that the matter was out of heir hands. The injunction was then served on the pressman who was running off the papers which contained the artic le. He saw Joseph O'Neil carrying a bundle of papers down the street He went last week with Constable O'Brien and the press had been running. Swift and Simonson were not in the editorial rooms having gone home. Witness said that at the request of Mrs Dougherty he went to the proprietors of the Sunday Herald to get them to suppress the paper. Attorney Walsh objected to this testimony MT Root said that it had been agreed to keep out almost all that Mrs Dougherty objected to. To Attorney Walsh he said that Swift and Simonson told him on his first visit, before the injunction was served, that the paper had gone to press and they could not disturb the forms.
 Joseph O'Neil's testimony related chiefly as to the whereabouts of the proprietors of the Herald that night. He said he found Simonson, Swift and Upson in the room of Swift and Simonson at o'clock in the morning and told Upson that they (O'Brien and Root) were looking for him.
 Samuel M. Brown, the Herald pressman, said that he stopped printing the paper be- tween and o'clock. He said the Herald Publishing company hired him. He did not state that Swift was his boss and in sisted that the defendants hired him.

Five Cowboys Drowned

DENVER, Aug. 3l.-A Metcs Pueblo
special says: Word has just been re-
ceived at this city of the drowning of five
cowboys just west of Pixies peak. A
large party were attending the cattle
round up on Tuesday night and seven Of
them pitched their camps on Beaver
creek, a small stream that usually has no
water in it. Being very tired they all
slept sound, paying no attention 10 a
slight roar that came up during the night.
1t however proved to be the edge of a
large black cloud that burst a short dis
lance above them. The result was that a
breast of water six feet deep came sweep
ing down upon them, carrying everything
in its path. The seven sleeping cowboys
were carried down. By a terrible strug-
gle two of them succeeded in getting hold
of branches of trees and chung to them
half dead until the flood subsidized, which
was almost as quick as it came on them.
The bodies of the other five men were
found scattered along the bed Of the
stream one to five miles below their camp.
The names of only Flasher and Royal
have been ascertained.

The Care of the Sick.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 81 Surgeon
General Hamilton received the following
telegram from j. j. Daniel, president
OF the Jacksonville citizens auxiliary
committee: I'm the name of our people
and humanity | protest against the order
for the detention of all refugees from our
city and state at Refugee camp. 1t would
be better for us TO keep u women and
children here rather than to subject them
to such treatment.
DIR. Hamilton sent the following reply:
Your requisition for 200 tents was
approved. You are mistaken as to the
character of the camp, which is in charge
of one of the most humane officers in the
service, and none in the country stands
higher as to professional ability. The
camp is located in one of the healthiest
places in Florida. Pine Woods, on the
river bluff, was originally intended by the
railroad company as a picnic ground and
was taken by DR.. Guiteras as the best
place for his camp. He was some days
ago directed to have some tents set apart
a quarter of a mile distant from the main
camp for the occupation of persons sick.
Pollard, who was returned to Jackson
vile, was sick on his arrival at the camp.
He evidently had fever when he left
Jacksonville, and with the general spread
of the disease In Jacksonville it was USE
less to expect that persons should be al
lowed to mingle with other passengers on
outgoing trains. Special excursion trains
will be provided for passengers to definite
points. Murphy, in North Carolina, has
opened its doors, the only place reporting
itself. 1t residents wish to go to Murphy
or any definite points in western North
Carolina, on their patrol not to go to sea-
board or %quarantined towns within ten
days from the date of their departure
from Jacksonville, excursion trains will be
provided as soon as the number of trains
required can be definitely a%scertained.
PLEASE estimate the number of people
now in Jacksonville willing to go on
parole so that safe arrangements can be
made for their transportation"

WRECK AND RUIN.
A Cloud Burst at Hot Springs,
Arkansas.
Causes Loss of Life and Des
truction to Property.
Hotels Flooded and Houses
Swept Away.

LITTLE Rock, Aug. 3l.-A Gazette
Hot Springs, Ark, special says: To-day is
an epoch in the history of Hot Springs.
The city is Quilted and ruin and wreck
meet the vrsion everywhere. Nothing
like it has ever been known to compare
with the results of last nights storm
which occurred in the night too late to be
telegraphed.
1t was a water spout and the valley was
swept with a mighty tidal wave. The
loss to property is fearful, while the sacri-
fee of human life under the circumstance
is appalling. Swift and terrible was the
visitation. Without warning the people
were awakened from their slumber to find
themselves threatened by destruction by
mad waves. Strange to relate but few
people were conscious of the terrible dis
aster till they awoke to look upon the
desolate scenes this morning and day
dawned Ipon the drifts.
The storm struck the town about IL
last night from a n%orthwesterly direction.
1t was accom- panied by swift, cool winds
much damage. The rain fell in torrents
from III till | o'clock without intermission.
Indeed, those who were up and witnessed
mt awful oSCuO uCoCIlDCu IL dS DuG never
before seen by them. Vivid flashes of
lightning displayed as if they were great
sheets of falling water. At the close of
the storm deep and ominous sounds min
gled with the shouts of the people and
cries of distress went up from the valley.
Such citizens as were in the vicinity of the
creek and ravines went forth to render
them assistance.
The flood on Central avenue, one of
the principal thoroughfares, assumes an
angry river, whose rushing tide swept
everything movable on its bosom. For
over half an hour the avenue was trans.
formed into a torrent fifty yards wide.
Boxes and parts of houses came down
with the tide and were left strewn on the
sidewalks. Several large hotels were
flooded to a depth of four feet with murky
waters and many buildings were totally
wrecked.
Up to this hour six persons are known
to be missing, five of whom have been
found in wrecked buildings. The damage
to property is estimated at 800, 900.
George w. Brown of Lancaster, Pa,
and G. ii. Coolidge of Cincinnati, visit
ors, have Just arrived here from Hot
Springs and say that the desolation is be-
yond description. They report thirteen
people drowned. Nine bodies have been
recovered and inquests have been held on
four. The lost are mostly colored people.
Owing to the despair and confusion they
could not learn the names of the drowned
or the amount of damage done. Tele-
graph wires are closed and it is impossible
to get further particulars.

a leading st. Louis tailor for the sum Of

portation of eleven journeymen tailors
who arrived here July 81, 1888. Smidt
