 The young man crushed his hat down on his cropped head, and moment later the walls of the princely mansions on either side of Prairie avenue echoed with the sound of his heavy tread on the sidewalk as he strode away in the chill night air

The Craze fer Poisonous Drugs-Scenes
 ar an ApoIhecary's.
 From the Baltimore Herald.l
 The clerk turned to wait on two young wo- men-such as might be seen drinking and looking for victims around saloons after dark.
 "Gimme eighty cents worth of coke, Pe- tie, an give Mamie the balance in dope,n said one of the women, laying down silver dol lar.
 The clerk gave them the cocaine and mor- phine.
 Before they were well out of the store scrawny, miserable little young man sneaked in. His chinchilla coat was threadbare and with his turtle-Eke head and neck and trem-
 bling chin he looked disgusting enough.
 "Gimme ten cents worth O dope, young fe.ler," he said, as he swaggered up to the counter
 He watched the operation of weighing very closely. "How much did yer gimme?' he asked, looking with ill4favor on the small quantity of the drug in the scales.
 -Four grains,' replied the clerk laeoni- cally.
 "I git six up to de udder corner," he mutt tered.
 "well, why don't you go and get its' asked the man behind the counter, pausing with the wrapping-paper in his hand. "You don't have to take this Do you want it or don't you!" As the man still kept sullen silence he took the little tray in his hand preparatory to throwing the four grains back into the drawer, but the customer stopped him and paid his ten cents. "We don't want the trade,n said the drug clerk when the morphine fend had disap- ! peared, 'sbut on account of our location they come in here to get their dope. I guess we charge them more than others do, but it don't seem to stop them. It's miserable class of trade. They get the drug by the dime or fifteen cents' worth, and are always finding fault with the quantity we give them"
 Another member of the same fraternity as the last fiend shanbled in. "That fellows good two hours behind his time," said the clerk. "He usnsny gets his goodnight dose about eleven o'clock. wonder what kept him? Couldn't get the money I suppose, and at last he comes around to stand me off. We'll. he'll get left, that's all.'
 The young man he spoke of showed plain- ly the effects of his deprivation of the drug. His wretchedness was extreme. He was ner- vous and trembling, and he came up to the counter with miserable, despairing air. "Let me have twenty cents worth, and for Gods sake crowd in all you can. It's all I got.n
 He could hardly wait for the powder to be wrapped up. But the clerk carefully kept it in his hand until the fend had dropped two dimes on the counter. f'Let me have some water?" he asked, talk ing hypodermic syringe from his pocket. ''Take your stuff out of herel" answered I the clerk sharply, "You can't dose yourself | in this shop" l The suffering wretch fairly rushed ou 1 when he got the coveted drug.

WOLSELEY'S DEFENSE
or his Assertions in Regard to England's
Armament.

or his Assertions in Regard to England's
Armament.
LONDON, May 14.-The House Of Lords
this afternoon was crowded with people
who desired to hear Lord Wolseley's de-
fence. The peers and peeresses' galleries
were filled. Mr.. Gladstone, Mr.. STAN
hope, Lord Randolph Churchill, Wis
count Cranborn, and other members
OF the House OF Commons, crowded
the steps OF the throne. Upon the
appearance OF Lord Salisbury, Lord
Wolseley asked leave to make personal
explanation with reference to Lord
Salisbury's complaint OF his attacking
the Government. Hecould not see how
an unprejudiced person could construe
his remarks into an attack upon the
Government. He felt that he could not
honestly assail the Government for neg
ligence toward the army and navy. In
the position which he occupied in the
administration OF the army he could not
fail to be fully aware of what Mr.. STAN
hope had done, and was doing to render
the army efficient. He felt deeply the
necessity of keeping the forces efficient,
and was convinced that more might be
done than had yet been accomplished
He admitted that the present Govern.
ment had done much toward improving
the military defense.
The defences at home and abroad
were in bad condition. The military
forces were notorganized as they should
be. They did not guarantee even the
safety OF the Capital. He did not want
to create panic, but he maintained that
the condition of the country was such
that il force OF 100000 men succeeded
in edecting q landing and were pro
perly handled there was no reason
why they might not take possession
OF the country. He made this state
ment with full appreciation OF his re-
sponsibility. He had been tempted tC
resign on Saturday, after reading what
Lord Salisbury had said. The House
would not take the initiative in the mat
ter, but he placed himself in the handi
OF the Premier. He did not intend t.
cast slur upon the Government. HI
had endeavored to the best OF his ability
to serve his sovereign and his country
[Cheers.l
Lord Salisbury held that his structures
upon Lord Wolseley's statement at a re
cent dinner were fully warranted. A
the same time, he accepted Lord Wolse
ley's disavowal of any intention to at
tack the Government. He only hopet
that il Lord Wolselcy had occa
sion to assail the administration il
the future he would do so il
the House. He trusted that Lore
Wolseley would not take the matte
too seriously. He should regret thu
Generals leaving the service us thu
greatest blow that could fall on the mill
tary administration. Lord Wolseley'
statement regarding the weakness OF thu
country's defense could be seriously in
quired into. Meantime he deprecated
the practice OF officers speaking over thu
heads Of the government and thus de
stroying the ministerial authority ant
shattering the administrative machine

MISSISSIPPI FLOODS.
The .'Father of Waters" Driving People
From Their Homes.

ST. LOUIS, May 14.-The river is
steadily rising here, and the inhabitants
of the American Bottom are moving
their stock and portable property back
to the bluffs.
From the experience of former years
they expect that the territory covered
now with hundreds of thousands Of
acres Of waving crops will in few
hours be under ten feet OF water.
Reports from the north are alarming,
and If the Sny levee or Madison dixie
breaks, the loss will be millions. A reg
ular exodus has taken place from the
Sny bottom. The entire town Of
Alexandria is inundated and five feet
Of water covers the principal streets
OF the place. There has been no
loss otlife, but the property loss is heavy.
The people are being taken as fast as
possible to the highlands, q couple OF
miles back OF the town. The Sny levee
is now being patrolled for miles by senti-
nels, whose duty it is to give assistance
when any weak spot is observed.
A dispatch from Louisiana, NO., says:
The continual rise in the Mississippi
river is causing great apprehension
among the dwellers in the fertile Sny
bottoms in Illinois, extending from this
city to Hannibal. The levee is still
perfectly secure and could stand
further rise OF twelve inches,
but the high wind is lashing
the waves against the sides and washing
the dirt considerably. Farmers arc
driving their stock to the bluffs and pre-
pairing for the worst. Ithas been seven
years since the levee broke and that
whole section was inundated; but in
the seven years following the levee
was strengthened along the entire
length, confidence was restored and the
valley began to blossom like a rose. Last
year witnessed quite boom in real es-
tate at advanced rates, and last fall thou.
sands OF acres were sown in wheat. A
great acreage of corn has been planted
this spring and the anxiety over the
safety OF the levee is truly painful.
A Quincy, ILL.,, dispatch says: The
river is II feet inches above low water
mark. The high northwesterly wind
prevailing has created grave fears for
the safety Of the levees, above and be-
low the city, and large forces of men are
working day and night strengthening
weak places. The levees have been
greatly weakened and a crevasse is ex-
pected at any mo ment. Should break
occur more than 100000 acres of farm
lands would be inundated. People
living in the threatened district
have fled to the bluffs. Trains
have been abandoned on the st. Louis,
Keokuk and Northwestern, between
Hannibal and Burlington, and on the
Hannibal and st. Joe, from Quincy to
Palmyra Branches OF the Chicago, Bur-
lington and Quincy are greatly impeded.
Many buildings in the city are flooded
ind vacatpd.

A TRIPLE CRIME.
Two Women Murdered and Robbed and
their House Burned.

Two Women Murdered and Robbed and
their House Burned.
PorTsvILLE, Pa, May 14.-A shocking
tragedy occurred at Busy treat, near Mid
dleport, eight miles east Of this city,
where there lived Polish miner named
Anthony Putlavish with his wife and a
young woman named Mary Keith.
Putlavish and several Poles, who
boarded with him, are miners employed
ut the Big Vein colliery, about half a
mile distant. When they returned from
work they found the house heap Of
smoking ruins, and among the embers
discovered the Charred remains of the
two women.
There is no doubt that the fire was an
incendiary act designed to cover IN afro
cious murder. An axe which Putlavish
had left at some distance from the house
in the morning was found beside one OF
the bodies. A neighbor living half a mile
distant, who was attracted by the smoke
and was first to reach the scene, says
that when he arrived he plainly saw the
body of one OF the women lying just
inside the door with blood flowing from
a gash in the head.
There was between $500 and s., 900 in
money in the house, and it is supposed
robbery was the incentive ofthe murder
and arson. The excitement is intense,
but as yet no clue has been obtained Ia
the authors OF the horrible crime, though
suspicion attaches to one OF the board
ers who has disappeared.

LONDON, May l4.-The Pail Mall Ca
sette has the following account of an in.
terview at Charlottenburg Castle, be-
tween Mr.. Stead and DR.. Mackenzie.
Mr.. Stead was received by the Doctor in
large white room in the centre Of the

windows and three doors. Several dia-

DR.. Mackenzie looked worn and anxious
and showed traces of the long vigils he
has maintained in his attendance upon
the Emperor. During the interview he
was repeatedly summoned TO the En-
peror's room by an electric bell. He
stated to Mr.. Stead that his patient is
all that could be desired in the way OF
temper, patience and cheerfulness. He
is obedient and trustful and as well dis
positioned as n child. He bears pain
bravely and does not indulge in need

asked the chaplain to pray for his re-
lease from his sufFerings and that he
longed for death were untrue. at is by

The reports Of the bad odor pervading
the sick room are gross exaggeration.

The Prohibition Movement In South Caro-.
lima Goes TO Pieces Suddenly.
CHARLESTON, S. G., May 1.-THE State
was startled last week by the statement
that strong effort was to be made to
start third party in South Carolina. A
carefully worded call for contribution
OF all persons interested in the cause OF
temperance was circulated in several
parts OF the State. The convention was
to meet at Columbus on May 20. The
call was signed by many persons high in
the councils of the Democratic party
and by ministers OF the gospel who
would be Mortified at the idea OF having
anything to do with politics.
The Prohibitionists were SO elated al
the character OF the names signed to this
call that they became bold and disclosed
the object ofthe convention, which while
the call was being signed had been kept
secret. They propose to elect delegates
to the Indianapolis convention to nomi'
nate q Presidential ticket and also to or
ganize Prohibition party. They even
went so far as to talk about nominating q
full State ticket for this fall. This rash
talk has broken up the whole thing
Most OF the gentlemen whose names
were signed to the call have repudiated
it and demand that their names be with
drawn. They are indignant at the
methods OF the Third party men. The
indications now are that the convention
if held at all, will be very poorly at
| tended.

CHICAGO, May l4.-J. L. Tyler and
VIM. Mcmahon, two Burlington en-
ployes, had lively time in the town OF
Lake yesterday. AT Fifty-tirst street,
while Tyler, who was on the front OF the
engine, had his head turned, a bar OF
iron was thrown at him, but missed its
mark. Tyler and McMahon gave chase
to the assailants, who ran into a Rock
Island yard. Once in there, both par
ties drew their revolvcB, and for mo.
ment bloodshed seemed inevitable. A
force OF Lake police appeared and arrest
ed the Burlington men, more for their
own protection than anything else.
As the wagon left the yard lot Of
missiles OF various sorts were hurled at
its occupants, but no one was hurt.

A TRAIN Blown UP
By the Explosion of a Car Filled
With Powder.
THE RESULT OF A COLLISION
On tho Santa Fe Rallroad-.-Thrce
Persons are. Killed and Many
Others Seriously Injured.
Buildings Burned.

DENVER, COL, May 14.-Train No. 4
on the Santa Fe Railway, better known
as the "Thunderbolt," met with a fright.
ful disaster at Fountain this morning.
The "Thunderbolt" arrived at Foun.
tain at 2:4l a. m., and had only been
standing few minutes when caboose
and some cars, the brakes of which had
got loose in some way, ran down a side
track and struck the train with terrific
force.
One of the freight cars was loaded
with naphtha, which exploded, throw
ing the oil over everything and setting
the train on fire. The trainmen showed
the uninjured cars back from the wreck
and were trying to save the depot, when
it was discovered that two cars were
standing on the main track that were
not wrecked. The nearest one was
burning and was tagged powder"
Shortly afterward the car exploded, com.
pletely demolishlng the depot, several
dwellings and a number Of cars. One
dwelling and the depot was consumed.
Three persons, one woman and two
men, were killed by the explosion and
fifteen persons were wounded, none very
seriously.
There is hole in the ground, where
the arstood, ,aboutthirty feetin diameter
and fifteen feet deep. Two cars were
burned and sixteen, together with the
locomotive, were more or less wrecked.
1t is supposed that tramps let off the
brakes from the car. The shock OF the
explosion broke windows at Colorado
Springs, the town nearest the scene OF
the disaster.
Two of the three people killed
were citizens OF Fountain. None
OF the passengers or trainmen
were killed. The number Of
injured is now reported as five or six.
The citizens were warned by the en-
ployes OF the railway company to keep
away from the powder car, but they paid
no attention to them.
