Too Much WatHr

The latest reports from the flooded
districts in Austria show that the loss of
life is much greater than was supposed.
The rivers are still greatly swollen. In
many places the bursting of dykes has
flooded the surrounding territory and
utterly destroyed the crops. MANY mar
row escapes from death are reported.
The deepest distress prevails through
out the submerged districts and steps
are being taken to relieve the immedi-
ate wants OF the sufferers.

CLUE TO THE RAILWAY CASE.
Was Miss Van Dominic the Girl Faunt


Dead?
CoNTooCooK, Me, May 2l.-About two
weeks ago Miss Annie Dominic, aged
IS, left Hillsboro for Western trip, and
has not been heard rom since. A few
days ago the young lady's trunk was re-
turned by the railway officials, but no
trace of its owner can be found, and it
is believed that she has met with foul
play.
Miss Van Dominic LETT Hillsboro for
Chicago. A letter was received
week ago from the West,
asking why she did not arrive
there, and said she had not been seen.
The description of the unknown woman,
whose death at Railway, n. j., was pub
lished several davs ago, seems to tally
with that of the Van Dominic girl 1t
is reported that the girl has been lately
seen ON New England railway train.

BLAZE IN NEW YORK.
A Stock of Teas and Coffees Ruined by
Fire and Water.


New YORK, May 2l.-Early this morn
ing fire broke out on the first floor of
the fiye-story brick building, l25 and l27
Front Street. 1t was sometime be'ore
they got the fire under control. The
first floor, the cellar, and the fourth and
!ilth floors, are o cupied as a storage
warehouse by Charles Z. Bellows,
whose loss is about $4,000. The other
occupants OF the building are dealers in
tea and coffee, and their losses are
about $4,000. All the losses are COW
cred by insurance. The cause of the
fire is not known.
AT II A. NJ. the fire was still burning.
The building is badly damaged on the
Front and South Street sides. Charles
+. Bellows individually loses but little,
as the teas, coffees and spices in his
place were owned by other parties who
stored their goods there. Their owners
are all said to be insured. The building
is said TO be the largest tea storage
warehouse in the United States. Among
those who suffer loss is the New York
and Brooklyn Coffee Company.

Twenty-one Buildings Burned in the
Suburbs-Work of rirebuGs.
CHICAGO, H., May 1S.-Fire, early this
morning, at One Hundred and Sixth
Street and Avenue K. in East Chicago,
destroyed nine houses and twelve barns.
The total damage is between $4,000 and
SIC, 800 The houses were occupied al
most entirely by foreigners, employed
in the rolling mills, the most of
whom owned their homes, and had
them well insured. The scene of the
fire is Just across the Calumet River
from Cummings, which was visited by q
destructive fire only few hours be-
fore. The entire district is so poorly
supplied with water that at both fires
the f1emen were almost powerless,
the Cisterns and wells being quickly
exhausted. This fact is SO good an
argument for annexation to Chicago,
that the anti-annexationists are freely
charging that both blazes were started
by annexationists. Both fires started in
barns in the most unaccountaple man
ner, and IN localities where the flames
were sure to spread

the German Miners.
The Trades Assembly, of Chicago, on
the 10th, endorsed the project of mass
meeting to demonstrate the sympathy
of the American working-people with
the striking miners of Westphalia and
Silesia. The speakers in the Trades.
Assembly ridiculed the idea that the
Emperor would help the miners in
the least. 4 resolution was adopted
authorizing the name Of the Assembly
TO be used as signature to a Cablesram
sent to the striking miners, assuring
them of the moral and financial sup
port of the organized labor of America.

King High.

The special correspondent of the As
sociated Press at Berlin was informed
on the 2lst that Germany had finally
consented 10 restore King Maiatoa.
This action was taken finally after pro-
longed and persistent efforts on the part
of the American commissioners.
But now comes another hitch in the
negotiations. This fresh difficulty grows
out of the claim for indemnity made by
Germany. The American section Of
the conference holds that If any indem-
Iity is paid it must be a merely nominal
sum. Germany, on the contrary. main
tains that in the conflicts between the
German forces and Samoaps, the latter
were invariably the aggressors. Besides
the native partisans of King Malietoa
were guilty of the barbarous practices
OF beheading German sailors, as well as
infiicting upon the wounded particular
cruelties. These acts. Germany insists,
should entail upon Samoa the payment
of special indemnity. Earnest efforts
are making in committee to settle the
dispute, but the matter is very likely to
require reference to the plenery con-
terence.
