A MYSTERIOUS PAPER.

Strange VIII Left by General BEEN, of
Chicago, Who Recently Suicided in Ne
braska.
CHICAGO May 1.-THE will of General
Martin BEEN was shown yesterday after
noon. 1t leaves to the widow only what law
permits. The bulk of the property is left
to his sisters at Alton, in equal parts. A
most important feature of the will is u pri-
vate memorandum attached to it, directing
bis partner, Charles P. Sawyer, and
E. s.. McComas, to make Il rigid
investigation into the manner Of
bis death, and if he is found to have been
foully dealt with to prosecute those guilty.
He adds that his troubles have made him
suspicious and all that may be without
cause, but he refers vaguely to letter in
vault (which may guide you as TO whom
l have apprehensions of most danger.
have written her if she wants to be free.n
Further down, he says the remark made
by him that he would try to kill himself,
was made for effect, as he had no such
purpose. If his death should be accidental,
destroy the memorandum, but enforce the
will, unless revoked. The memorandum
makes other disconnected references to his
domestic affairs, and says he ''fears poison
more than all else" The Union Veteran
League proposes to push its investigation
thoroughly. Friends Of the dead man are
greatly surprised at this singular attach
ment to his will and hardly know what to
say of it.

CHICAGO, May IL. - A telegram from
Rock Island, H., says The high water
which has been running over the stone
wall OF the Moline waterpoWer for days, al
noon carried away large section of the
heavy stone bulkhead which runs across
the south channel of the Mississippi be-
tween the Rock Island arsenal and the
main shore. Five hundred feet of this
wall has disappeared and it is believed
that the rest has been SO demoralzed
as TO need rebuilding. The wall cost
the Government 100000 The tide o;
water coming down to the city
front of Rock Island carried out into. mid
stream IS, 900 worth OF logs from the upper
saw mills and the freight warehouse of the
ST. Paul packet line. All trains are aban.
doned on the st. Paul road between here
and Savannah IN consequence of the flood
and on the Peoria road on account of the
long railway embankment which threat
ems to break and food the low land Hun
dreds of families are moving out of their
houses.
Galena ILL.,, has been transformed ints
an American Venice and the novel specte-
Gle OF skiffs and barges as a means OF
transportation is now seen in all of its busi-
ness portion, except On Main street. On
the latter thoroughfare the water in many
places is nearly up to the floor, and prep
arations are being made by those most
endangered to move into safer quarters.
Boats can now be rowed entirely around
the custom house and the post Office build
ings, and both Commerce and Water
streets are navigable nearly the entire
length. Last evening the water lacked
four and half inches of reaching the high
mark of 1880.
The river at Quincy is ten miles wide
and hundreds of farms are su submerged to
depth of several feet. The levee below the
city is weakening in places and large
force of men are at work night and day to
avert the threatened calamity. Foundries
and factories along the levee have been
forced to suspend. The st. Louis, Keokuk
q Northwestern railway has abandoned
all trains north of here, cutting off the
towns Of LaGrange, Canton and Alexan-
dria. The loss is incalculable The water
is slowly rising.
TORNADO IN INDIANA.

ravages can only be guessed from a few
scattering reports and the fact that the
telegraph wires throughout considerable
territory are FRUSTRATED.
At Wlnslow siding, on the Nickel Plate
railroad train of sixteen freight cars
were lifted from their wheels and distrib-
uted in pieces around the surrounding
prairies
Information has been received that at
Wanatah number of houses were un-
rooted and much timber in the country up
rooted.
Much alarm was felt regarding the city
of Valparaiso, which it was thought lay in
the path of the cyclone, but late dispatch
from there says the cyclone did not strike
there, but was DETECTED two miles south.
Three hundred telegraph poles were blown

OPTIMISTIC GLADSTONE.

He Believes That Home Rule For Ireland
VIII Come in the Near Future.
LONDON, May 11.-An address signed by
3,17o dissenting ministers was presented
to Mr.. Gladstone yesterday expressing
their sympathy with him in his efforts to
reconcile England and Ireland In reply
to the address Mr.. Gladstone sal that dur
ing the present session, the Parneliites,
despite the pressing needs of Ireland, had
refrained from urging their claims and had
assisted the Government to expedite bust
ness. Whether or not Parliament was
employed at tlis or that given time
in discussing Ireland it was Ireland alone
that truly held the key to legislation. The
Government knew that the Nation was 18th
home rule and therefore guided the affairs
OF Parliament so as to delay the time when
Ministry would be in power, pledged to
home rule for Ireland. The majority IN the
House Of Commons thought they could go
on for five years. They put this against
his life as an old man, but the life of an old
or young man would not affect the final
settlement. [Cheers.I Justice would be
done in Ireland. Ere long the National
sentiment would find means TO assert itself.
The Tories plumed themselves upon being
the defenders OF law and order Instead
of maintaining order the Government has
promoted murderous breaches OF the law.
Mr. Parnell was as much devoted to the
maintenance of law and order as any one
Neither he nor Mr. Parnell vindicated the
plan of campaign. The Governments con-
duct had created the plan of campaign by
making. the law odious to the people. The
object OF the Government seemed to insult
exasperate and degrade the Irish. AS soon
as the terrible facts regarding the suffering
in Ireland were brought home to the up
right minds of the people of England they
would unite to redress the sad errors of the
past. ICheers.

regard to Williams death published dur
ing the past twenty three years. l have
even seen the statement in print recently
that he is still i've. in Texas and in other
parts of the South. But there is no doubt
in my mind that he is dead He was shot
in James Wakefeld's barn, about five
miles from Taylorsvllle, Nelson County,
KY, May 10, 1865. The barn was
surrounded by Captain Terrell, who had
fifteen men with him, disguised.as guerril-

that works of art are being i'm
ported free of duty under representa-
tons that they are to be temporarily
used and re-exported. but which are in

evasions of the tariff are urged, the

sentatiyes of the Corcoran Art Gallery
OF Washington, the Metropolitan

their views on the subject.
