A PITIFUL STORY.
An Arkansas Farmer Loses His Wife and
Seven Children In u Flood.

LITTLE Rock, June 22.-Although the loss of
life in the Conemaugh valley was much
greater. the result of that dreadful disaster
still fresh in the minds Of those who have fol-
lowed the newspaper accounts of the food, it
has a sequel, the facts of which were given last
night to a Gazette reporter by Capt. Newt"
Faulkinbury, the deputy United States mar
shall, and more pitiful story is rarely heard Of
occurring as it did nearer home.
On his trip to Conway and Van Buren, coun-
ties the other day he learned that during q
heavy rainstorm in that section of the state
last Saturday night an old man named Emmer-
son had the misfortune to lose his wife and
seven children in food. As near as he could
learn there had been a tremendous rain near
Clinton, the county seat Of Van Buren, county,
ON the upper Red river, and it was near this
place
THE DISTRESSING SCENE TOOK PLACE.
Emmerson, who is an old settler in Van Buren,
county, was with his family in his house at
night when the storm was raging. After an
hours rain the water gradually flooded his
house, and fearing danger inside he gathered
two OF his children in his arms and made for
the door to escape. As the door opened huge
log af1oat dashed in the entrance and knocked
the little ones from his arms They fell at his
feet into the swift current and were lost. He
then took up two more, one in each arm, and
succeeded in getting out with them safely
telling his wife to follow with the others, but
IN attempting to escape in tine same manner
the mother, with two children in her arms and
three clinging to her dress, was carried
with the hood and drowned
ONLY THE FATHER AND TWO CHILDREN SAVED.
The father and two children, the only ones
left in family of eleven escaped with their
lives. The night was dark, and the father,
with the only two survivors, stood in water
above the waist, ciingirfe to tree for several
hours, and when the waters subsidized in the
morning search was made, and the dead
bodies of the mother and seven children were
discovered scattered here and there for a con-
siderable distance around the place, the cloth
ing having caught in underbrush and the bodies
held fast in that way. Two of the bodies were
found in the garden lot short distance from
the house, to where they had been carried by
the force of the water, and others as far as
sixty yards from the house.
Capt. Faulkinbury saw a neighbor last We'd
nesday who said he had assisted in
BURYIN9 THE WHOLE FAMILY
Next day he was told that it was the heaviest
storm that has ever visited that section of the
state, describing it as a water spout, and al
though it lasted but short while it worked
loss OF lite and property that cannot be easily
estimated. The home Of Mr.. Emmerson is a
total wreck, and he is almost distracted with
grief. Further than this Capt. Faulkinbury
could learn nothing definite, except that the
loss OF live stock and damage to property was
great. III others suffered like fate as befel
Emme rson, he was unable to find it out.

AN ELOPEMENT SENSATION.
The Daughter of a Canadian Justice
WEEDS Railway Employe.

OTTAWA, ONT, June PA profound sensa-
ton was created in social circles this morning
when it became known that Miss L. Taschereau.
daughter Of Justice Taschereau, of the supreme
court and niece Of Cardinal Taschereau, had
eloped a few days ago and returned to
the city to-day the wife Of Mr.. W. L.
Baird, an employe of the Canadian Atlantic
railway. The Taschereau family is one of the
old French families Of Quebec, and many Of its
members occupy high positions in church and
state circles. Young Baird is the son of an
English clergyman and came to Ottawa several
years ago, securing a subordinate position as
clerk in the offices Of the railway. He became
acquainted with Miss Taschereau about a year
ago, and the young couple became fast friends
despite the furious opposition of the young lady's
family. The young couple met secretly and
few days ago they disappeared To-day they
returned to the city man and wife, having been
married by Protestant clergyman. The pa
rents and relations of the young lady threaten
to take steps to have the marriage annulled,
as she is Roman Catholic and was married,
without the consent Of her parents, by a
Protestant clergyman.

THE WASHINGTON AND SANDY
SPRING RAILROAD,
The Purpose is to Build IL According
to the Charter.

Mr.. J. L. Husband, secretary Of the Washing
ing and Sandy Spring railroad company, writes
to The STAR in relation to statements made in
regard to this proposed road that ''the board of
commissioners having this franchise in charge
are complying with the legal requirements Of
the act of Congress of March 2. 1889. and of the
laws of the state of Maryland, and at the proper
time will officially announce to the friends Of
the project their progress and intentions. All
statements that have appeared in the papers
relating to this road, other than advertisements
officially signed and report of the organiza-
ton Of the company, have been made public
by those having adverse interests for selfish
purposes, and those interested in the road can
feel assured that the paramount object of the
managers is to build the road as called for in
their charter, and all statements to the con-
trary, or of deals or combinations or changes
of plans, DC, which have been promulgated by
others, are to serve individual interests and
are misleading, without authority and false"

INSTRUCTED STREETS.
A Letter Demanding That Police Remove
Certain Railroad Tracks and Feuces.

MessrA G. n. Parker and p. n. Dryer have
written letter to Major Moore, of the police,
saying:
1.-The undersigned complained to the Com
missioners OF the District OF Columbia as 70
the Illegal occupation of the bed Of 18th street
southwest by track, and the obstruction OF E
street southwest, where 1t intersects Virginia
avenue, consisting of . fence, both obstruc-
tons being maintained by the Baltimore and
Potomac railroad company. In the former
case, on April IL, 1889, the Commissioners
ordered the track TO be removed within sixty
days, and on May 2, 1889, the company was
ordered TO remove fence on street
and erect safety gates. In both instances
the railroad company failed to honor the
order OF the Commissioners and consequently
the company is trespassing on said streets
This day Commissioner Hine informed us that
the Commissioners having done their duty in
ordering the removal il now rests with your
department to enforce same on complaint
being made, and accordingly we hereby notify
you of said distractions and illegal action of
the railroad company and demand that you
instruct your lieutenant to procure warrants
against the proper person or persons without
delay. BY reference to page 2s6, Webbs Digest,
you will find that il is the duty Of the police to
take action, and in same book you will find pen
atty for the officials Of the police department
failing TO take notice of violations of law"

THAT GIGANTIC COAL TRUST.
The Syndicate Said to be Entirely Amer
lean.

NEW YORK, June 22-Rumors that a gigantic
coal trust is In process Of formation stirred up
Wall street yesterday, and were generally re-
sarded as not at all improbable. Some brokers
said that an English syndicate had been formed
to buy up all the coal companies and to guar
antee individual operators who would join the
trust profit of as cents per ton on all coal
mined Another report was that the alleged
syndicate is entirely American and that Austin
Corbin and Sam Sloan are back of it. At the
Offices OF the various coal roads nobody could
be found who was willing to talk about the
proposed coal trust. 1t is believed that the eff
forts which are now being made to break the
Reading voting trust are inspired by the syn
dictate, who can better carry their plan into
effect with the Reading shares scattered. 1t
would take an immense capital to carry out the
scheme, The market value Of the stocks of
the great coal roads and mining companies is
Sls6 900 900. The companies which 1t would
be necessary to have in the trust are the Read
ing, Lehigh Valley, Jersey Central, Lacka-
wanna, Delaware and Hudson, Pennsylvania,
and Lehigh Navigation.
