1.1rrI II KANAWHA FLOOD.

The valley Swept From One End a ina
other - Residences washed Av<oy and
Many Lives Lost-Great Dcst' suction OF
Property Mt All Points.
PITTsBuRGH, Pa, July xo.--A special
from Parkersburg, W., Va, says: The
greatest disaster wh ,,ch ever befell Lit
tie Kanawha ValSay came last night in
the shape of serrible cloud burst, which
has completely flooded the country, de-
stroyinG many lives, carrying off thou
sands of dollars in property and running
the crops for meny miles. The deluge
fell here about dusk and continued to
fall In torrents, doing much damage in
the city. The worst of the storm struck
the lower side of the Kanawha, filling
small tributaries from bank to bank, and
ending with the worst flood within the re-
collection of the oldest inhabitants. In
three hours the Kanawha raised six feet,
and ran out with such velocity that II
carried every thing before it. AT this
point thousands of logs and a number OF
boats went out or were sunk. Little
Kanawha Company lost 1000 logs. West
MILL ten RATS; Barringer, several fleets;
w. p. Padden, five barges with ties,
several of which were caught below;
Keever e Co. lost four barges
of coal; Miller, three RATS and
1000 ties; Taylor, one fleet of tim
ber; Charles Wells, four barges. In one
hour 5000 logs went out. Mrs. Isaac IL.
Tucker, Martin Lawless and an un-
known man were drowned. Above the
destruction was still greater. Big Ty-
nnrt Nn11n,r ic lnt tn1, m
big mill near it's mouth went out and
took the Tygart bridge with it. In the
valley all the fences, crops and much
live stock were lost. At Chesterville,
small town about ten miles above,
half the residences were carried off bod
lily andleft in cornfields. In Clay District
fine church and three dwellings were
wrecked. About noon information was
received that the steamer Oneida had
been wrecked and sunk at Enterprise
above. Still later report came that
Burning Springs. The Little Tygart is
also reported completely ruined. Heath
erington's store, Captain Spencer's resi-
dence, c. p. Cooper's residence and that
of j. w. Smith are completely demol-
ished, but no lives are reported lostasyet.
The worst story of all comes from Norris
town, a small village near the head of
Tucker Creek, where the cloud-burst
concentrated in all it's fury. coming
down in the village about midnight and
totally destroying it, together with
many of its people. The first report
gave the loss at eleven, but later news
seems to fix the loss at greater num-
ber The houses of the citizens are said
to have been picked up and hurled
against each other in such short space
of time that no chance to escape was
given the people.

TWO MEN IN A BUGGY.
Strange Ending of Hunt for Es-
capped Prisoners.
Battle with n Brace of Unknown Crooks
One of the Posse Fatally Wounded
In tho Fuslliade-One of the
Crooks Killed.

CLEVELAND, o., July 2e.-W. A. Smith
and Richard n. Mansfield, two young
crooks, Saturday night, escaped from
Jail. One of the prisoners in the Jail in
formed the turnkey of what had taken
place an hour or so later and Sheriff
Sawyer and his deputies and the police
at once began to scour the city and ad-
! jacent country. Joe Goldsoll the sher-
| ifs criminal deputy, and one of the best
officers in the city, started out in u bug
! gy with two friends for McCort street in
the western suburbs, where Mansfield S
parents live. On Gordon avenue, near
by, they secreted their rig and
having been reinforced by patrol
man Pierce, concealed themselves to
watch the neighborhood. A buggy ap.
preached containing a young man. 1t
was halted by Goldsoll and Pierce, and
the occupant giving satisfactory ex-
! planation was allowed to proceed. The
buggy passed on to where Goldsoll's S two
friends were, and they sprang into the
road and shouted: ''Stop those two
men, Goldsoll and Pierce ran up and
saw two men instead of one in the
| buggy. They commanded halt, but
the two unknown men started to drive
away and began firing their reVolv-
ers at the officers. The fire was re-
| turned, and in the fierce fusillade that
| followed Goldsoll fell. The buggy
dashed away, and the deputy was car
ried back to the Jail. He had bullet
in his1abdomen and was taken to the
Huron-street hospital, where he now
lies at the point of death. Half an hour
later, at 1870 a. M, Patrolmen Pierce
and Koehler, while returning from
the scene of the shooting, saw u
horse and buggy standing in an
awkward position on Franklin ave-
nue.. In the buggy was the body
of young man who had been shot to
death. The horse also bore a bullet
wound. The body was taken to the
Detroit-street Police Station, Cwhere
Pierce recognized it as that of the
young man he had first seen in the bug
gy. AT first it was supposed that the
dead man was Smith, bnt close ex-
animation disproved this belief. The
body was taken to the morgue, and lies
there now unidentified. In the buggy
were found loaded revolver, an empty
revolver, club, a screw-driver and
some rags. The horse and buggy had
been stolen early in the evening from
the barn of George r. Smith, on Bolton
avenue. The police suppose that Gold
soil and Pierce, in hunting for Smith and
Mansfield, accidentally stumbled upon
two other crooks who had just done a job
or were bent upon one. Diligent search
is being made to find the two escaped
prisoners and the escaped companion of
the dead man, and to identify the body
at the morgue.

NATIONAL EDUCATORS.
The Public school Question Discussed BY
AbIe Man.

Able Men.
NASHVILLE, TENN, July 1S.-Tne sec-
ond days session of the National Ndu-
cotional Association was called to order
yesterday morning by President Marble
with very large attendance Of teachers
and educators. Horny A. Wise, of Bal
timore, read paper upon the intro
duction of manual training at
the present time into the public schools.
The question of UNCONVENTIONAL
schools was taken up, and Bishop John
j. Keane, of Washington, was intro
duced to the audience. He extended
the regrets of Cardinai Gibbons at his
inability to be present, and read paper
prepared by the Cardinal upon this ques-
tion: Should Americans educate their
children in denominational schools?
Bishop Keane followed in an able
paper on the same subject, taking tho
position that Christianity was the ba-
sis of all true government and should
be inculcated during the period
when children were attending school.
If the influence of the church
was beneficial in the family it was also
in the school. Mr.. Edwin ID. Mead, of
Boston, followed in a lengthy paper in
which he said that the arguments ad-
vanced by Cardinal Gibbons in the
magazines in favor of non-intorference
of the State with the family in the mat
ter of education was only device to
damage the States authority in public
opinion to the end that the Roman
Catholic church could take charge when

A Plague of Flies.

DUBUQUE, IA, July 2O.-This city is
just recovering from an invasion by
Mormon flies such as it has never be-
fore known. Wednesday night these
pests came up from the river in great
swarms and gathered about the gas and
electric lights so that people were COM
PEELED to abandon the streets. The
morning newspaper and telegraph of
fees were compelled to close the win
dows and doors to escape torture. These
pests spring from the sand-beds along
the river, and are some times called sand
flies. They are about an inch long with
broad wings. and spring into exis tence
in few hours.

First Hanging Under the New Law.

LITTLE FALLS, MINI, July 2O.-Al-
bert Bulow was hanged yesterday in ac-
cordance with the new State law, which
prescribes that executions shall take
place between the hours of l and n. M
The law limits the number of persons
who shall witness the executions and
there were only thirteen persons inside
the inclosure when the drop fell. Bulow
met death bravely and made no confess
sion. The law provides that newspa-
pers shall publish only the bare an
nouncement of hangings, but all the
Minneapolis and st. Paul papers contain
ed full details of Bulow's execution.

Parts of tho state.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, July 19.-Six
months ago this city and vicinity were
flooded with counterfeit ten-dollar
Treasury notes but timely description
of the fraudulent issue frightened the
scoundrels away before the field had
been covered, and the operations OF the
Indiana contingent were largely confin-
ed to minor towns and villages in the
State. While it was not q dangerous
counterfeit in well informed commercial
circles the bill was calculated to de-
ceived in small towns, and the counter
fciters reaped fair harvest. Indiana
was the chosen market, and the STUFF
was distributed in 50, 900 packages at Ft
Wayne, Lafayette, Terre Haute, Shell
byville and this city, from where 1t was
scattered in smaller amounts to the cir
culators. The Secret Service officers
were put to great trouble and expense
