Marrow Escape From Death.

SOUTH NoRwALK. Conn, MAY lS.-A
displaced rail threw an engine and four
cars of the Shore line owl train from
Boston off the track this morning on the
~drawbridge just where thirty-fve years
ago owe twenty lives were lost in an acct
dent. There was the widest panic among
the passengers as the train ripped over
the bridge ties and they ware thrown
from their berths. By a miracle the de-
rallied train ran straight over the broken
ties and stopped. Not a person was in
jured, but the widest confusion and con-
s%ternation seized the passengers. They
were thrown out of their berths by the
sleepers swaying and bounding over the
ties. Men and women screamed as the
glass crashed and the horrible expectation
of topping over into the river added 20
the terror of the situation. A rush was
made for the doors by the half dressed
passengers. To jump from the train was
to leap into the water and a few made the
dive and were afterwards fshed out.

To the air in localities where vegetation,
rotted by freshets, Is laid bare to the suns
rays by the retiring flood. Millions of
square acres, in the vicinity Of the great
tributaries of the Mississippi and the
Missouri in the South and Southwest,
give forth this fever laden miasmatic
vapor, disseminating malarial pestilence
broadcast. Not only throughout the great
West, but wherever on this continent
fever and ague makes its periodic appear
ance-and what locality is wholly exempt
from it?-Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is
the recognized defense, the most highly
accredited and popular means of cure.
Fever and ague, bilious remittent, dumb
ague and ague cake are eradicated by it.
Nor is it less potent when used to remove
constipation, liver complaint and dyspep-
STA, kidney troubles, Gus and
rheumatic ailments. Use it upon the first

Unconstitutional

LANSING, Mich, May 49, The SUI.
preme court has unanimously declared
the local option law unconstitutional, on the
ground that the law is in direct violation
of article 4, section 20. of the constitution,
which provides that no law shall embrace
more than one object, which shall be m
bodied in the title. The local option law is
entitled IAN act to regulate the manufact-
ure and sale of liquor" which is not all
what the law is for.
DETROIT, May 18.-There is great re-
ioicing by the liquor men in the dry
counties of the state, thirty-tive in num-
Der, over the decision of the supreme
court. Saloons are reopening and deliver

THE RISING WATERS.
Great Destitution Caused by
the Floods.
Farmers and Their Families
Suffering for Food.
Communication With Quincy
Entirely Cut Off.

QUINCY, ILL.,, May lS.-The flood pre-
vailing along the Mississippi river has new
er been eqalled except in 1851. Ten days
ago the water reached the danger point
and since then has been steadily rising at
the rate of from four to fourteen inches
daily and the worst is TO come. Thous-
ands of acres are covered with water and
hundreds of families driven from their
homes at a minutes notice.
The loss to the farming interests is
simply incalculable, as the district flooded
Is the richest in the valley. On the en-
bankment of the river hundreds of cattle,
horses and hogs are gathered without feed,
while across on the opposite bluff are seen
hundreds OF men, women and children,
~desolute, forlorn and despairing. Many
are destitute and some are suffering for
food.
Communication with this city is en-
tirely cut off, every road being under
water. Factories and warehouses along
the river are seriously embarrassed and
large buildings are gradually being under
mined by the rushing waters.
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark, May 18.-It has
rained necessarily for the last thirty-six
hours and White river, usually a peaceful
stream, Is now a rushing torrent five miles
wide.
ALTNA, Ark. May 1S.-The hardest
rains for many years have been falling in
Arkansas the last two days and the
streams are all overlooked. The immense
cotton fields and corn bottoms are flooded
and the country is suffering a general in
undation. So quick was the rise of the
water that many people were driven from
their houses and forced to swim for their
lives. Many women and children are
standing on the tops of houses crying for
help, with the wafer two feet deep around
them and still rising. Fears are that
many lives have been lost.

CHICAGO. December Pa dispatch from
Red Cloud, Neb.. says: The closing Of the
doors Of the Red Cloud National Bauk nthis
city caused great excitement among the peo-
pie. II seems that the bank has been fnan-
cially troubled for some weeks. The priuci-
pal ownership OF the bank was recently
changed, and an attempt WIS made to create
a run on the bank, aud had il not been for
prIystc aid It would have had TO close its
doors the next day after The change had taken
place. This alone has been the means OF In
Jury 10 the concern, but everything seemed
10 be moving along nicely unill Saturday
evening, when the bank officials, after a
hasty examination OF the afiaiTs OF the bsnk.
refused TO pay their checks. This was not
decided upon, however, until numerous pro-
tests Of paper hsd been made At different
points over the country. The bank paid
checks and received money up 10 1 O'Clock
Saturday afternoon. As nearly as can be-
learned the bank owes its depOsilOrs about
$50, 600. and IL IS understood that they have
other liabilities amounting to something like
$50, 700, but II Is impossible 10 get hold Of The
facts. As National Bank Examiner Griffith II

that he has found the assets to be largely IN
excess OF the liabilities, aud advises the Off
cials to open up the bank as soon as they can
yet the consent Of the Comptroller OF Cur.
reucy 10 do so. The bank was capitalized for
3 1000. The principal creditors are reported
TO he at Kansas City. Close times aud the
failure 10 collect outstanding paper are the
principal causes Of The failure.
