Wants New War ShipS.

In the French Chamber of Deputies
on the 9th, Admiral Krantz, minister OF
marine, declared that there was need OF
several new war ships, the cost of which
would be about 5S,000,001 francs. M.
Sails urged that the government de-
mand a supplementary vote for the pur-
pose. Premier Tirard replied that the
government was bound to consider the
financial side of the question. They
sought to raise the necessary funds
without recourse to an extra budget
but failing in this they would not hest
tate to appeal to the patriotism of the
chamber for the required amount.

covered by $1,000. It is quite likely
that including the loss OF the bridges ia
the Mohawk Valley at Fonda 500 OOC
will cover the damage wrought by yes
terday'S storm.
Among the missing are the following:
r. ID. Simmons, of the firm of r. D.
Simmons d Co., painters; Willie Myers.
9years old and a son of Widow Myers:
Miss Ada Miller, % years old.
This afternoon ahe numb Der lost is es-
tiuated at from six to thirty. The creek
is being dragged. but it is thought some
bodies have hoated into the Mohawk at
Fonda.
The last train from Gloversville
reached Johnstown at Z o'clock last
night. The Cayadutta empties into the
Mohawk at Fonda, and Fonda is flooded.
Two bridges on the Mohawk turnpike
were carried away. Travel is stopped,
Central railroad and Johnstown rail-
road bridges were both DESTROYED.
Passengers are transferred.
The general belief is that the flood
was caused by cloud burst near Johns
town, the theory being confirmed by
the fact that at Hales Mills, three and q
half miles up the creek, no damage was
done, and the dam at that place is all
right.
New YORK, July 10.-The tracks of
the New York Central Railroad are

hawk Valley to Amsterdam. All Central

Lost $4,000,

Another heavy loss at gambling has
just leaked out at Long Branch. 1t was
not a case of robbery, but of square
playing. One night the habitues OF
John Daly's Long Branch CLUB were
greatly excited over an attempt
to break the bank. One OF
the best-known Hebrews of New
York sat down at the wheel to
make or break. This gentleman is a
leading wholesale straw-goods dealer
and an inveterate red-and- black player.
On many occasions he had lost 1000
or $1,000 in the early part of the night,
but always managed to retrieve his for
tunes before day-break. When he
arose from the table he had lost 81 900.
This is the heaviest square" loss Of the
season SO far, and the incident causes
much talk.

Two Burglars Shot.

Early on the morning of the 9th two
Kansas CITY burglars, John Chambers
and John Chesser, entered the house of
Edward Hyatt. farmer living ten
miles north of Olathe, through the
window of the sleeping-room of Mr..
and Mrs. Hyatt. The noise aroused Mr..
Hyatt. and drawing his revolver, he
fred three shots in quick succession.
Chesser fed through the window, but
Chambers sprang to the bed and at
tempted to wrest the revolver from Mr..
Hyatt's hand. A struggle ensued and
the two men tumhied about the floor
until they finally burst through the
kitchen door. Chambers by this time
had gained possession of the weapon
and pointed it at the PROSTATE Hyatt,
when his wife, who had arisen during
the struggle, felled the burglar to the
floor with blow on the head with a
heavy walking-stick. Lights were then
procured, and it was found that the
three shots fred by Hyatt had taken
effect in the body of the PROSTATE
burglar, one in the arm, one in the leg
and one In the stomach. From the
latter wound the burglar died the same
evening. His companion was arrested.

Want to Wind it Up.

The famous Oneida Community, es-
tablished in 1884 by John Humphrey
Noyes, at Oneida, n. Y, has been en-
gagged in litigation for some time, and a
motion for its dissolution was made on
the 9th by Col. George Hat, before Ref
cree w. w. Walters. of Syracuse, N. Y.
Burt, one of the members of the
community, in his complaint, sets
forth that in 1884 the plan of the COM
munity was changed, and that from an
association in which all members had
equal shares nd lived together under
one roof, it has become, under the new
management, corporation in which
membership is simply represented by
certain number of shares of
stock. This transformation, Mr..
Burt argues, is contrary to
the intention of the founder, John
Humphrey Noyes. and as consequence
of the departure from the old method
of living the stock has passed into the
hands of trust, and the interests of in
dividual members have been gobbled
up by certain capitalists. He therefore
asks for an accounting, receivership
and dissolution of the corporation.

according to the New York World. His
intimates say he has weakness for
snuff-colored garments. His CATERS are
of a brawny-gray and naturally inotfen-
sive tint, fastened over small foot by
large peal buttons. [Some of these but
tons, it is said, are begged by those in
outer social darkness to be set into scarf
pins.l His hat is tolerable only, not
distinctly in need of the iron, nor
yet as delicately muffed as Beau Brum-
mel's used to be when he wore, as he is
always did, new one for the first time
on showery day to take the shine off.
His clothes are OF New York, not Lon
don, make. They set him we'll and

A MYsterious Dcnth.

Nearly three months ago. on the evening
of January %, Martin Hinkle, u coal-heaver
employed as a night man at the yards OF the
Northwestern Railroad company in this city.
disappeared and has never been seen alive
by his friends since that time. His disap-
pearance was advertised in the city papers,
but nothing was heard of him. Foul play
was suspected, but there was nothing to
prove it and the affair was branded "mys-
terious disappearance, and speedily forgot
ten by all but intimate friends.
Last Sunday morning some fishermen in
raising their net at a point several miles be-
Bellevue on this side of the river, were
startled to find "fioater" entangled in its
meshes. The body was held for Identified
tion, and Mrs. Hinkle learning of the occur
renee went to Bellevue and identified the re-
mains as those of her husband by means of
q pair Of mittens, a handkerchief, pocfet-
book and pipe. The body was in such an
advanced stage of decomposition that the
railroad companies would not receive it,
consequently Mrs Hinkle ana a son drove TO
Bellevue and returned last evening with the
remains, in a wagon. The funeral will take
place at 2 O'Clock this afternoon from his
late residence, corner of Ninth street and
Avenue q.
The question now open for solution is:
How did Hinke get into the river! Two
theories are auVanCeu-aCCluental ueaIn anu
murder. In support of the first it is stated
that the deceased was a poor man and had
nothing to tempt footpad or highway
robber.
He was intoxicated when last seen alive
on the evening of his disappearance. About
l2 o'clock that night he parted company with
nr. E. Foldisch, at the residence of the
letter, on Fourteenth street Hinkle passed
on to the south, but should have gone north.
Foldisch called to hlm that he was going in
the wrong direction, but Hlnkle said he knew
what he was about, and passed on out of
sight to his death.
1t now developes that there is dark side to
the case.
1t will be remembered that on the night of
February 3, a gang of six car thieves were
arrested for breaking open cars in the North
western yards. Their stealings had extended
over period of several months. Several of
the parties were fellow workmen of Hinkle,
and he had been approached by them and in
vited to share in their nefariOus work. He
refused, and was severely beaten by one of
the number, and threatened with death if he
ever interfered in their affairs or breathed n
word OF what he knew about them. His
death followed shortly afterwards. These
are the facts in the case, and they call for a
most rigid and thorough investigation.
