her name, foated ashore on Sunday near
Milestone creek. A body, which is sup
posed to be that of one of the Shows crew,
was found on the beach near where the
stern of the schooner floated ashore. 1t is
feared that the entire crew Is lost. Nothing
is known of the crew of the Caroline. TNO
unknown vessels are ashore at Battle
creek.
The steamer Sue, Captain Geoghegan,
arrived at lao this morning from the PO-
tomac river, and brought news of the Sc
verest storm ever known In southern Mary
land. Captain Geoghegan reported seven
small sailing vessels ashore in the YeOcOni-
leo river. In Coan river the schooner Will
lam Coburn and the sloop Amelia Cowart
are up in a field, high and dry. The schoon-
er Columbia +. c. is sunk in Carter's creek.
All the fish-traps were destroyed in the
lower part of the Potomac. There will also
be a severe loss to property holders along
the Potomac river front, as the land was
submerged and in many places there have
been many acres of land washed away.
Williamson, at Sleepy Hole, were both
washed away, and the clerk, Mr.. Wood
ward, was drowned. The western branch
drawbridge was carried away; the damage
to it is estimated at $4,000. A very aged
colored woman, named Amy Jasper, who
lived alone, was found on the floor of her
hut, drowned. All the southern side of the
hagbor is lined with wreckage. Capt.
Elijah Benson and his two sons, of Ports
mouth are reported to have been capsized
in their oyster sloop, in James river, and

ly, and thirty vessels went ashore in Scott's
creek.

Welded in the Kansas City Station.
pecial to the Indianapolis Journal

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April "a good-look-
ing young man, neatly dressed, walked un-
easily about the Union Station this morn
ing. He requested conductor A. w, Nc
Dougau, of the Santa Fe west-bound train,
to keep that train waiting few moments
after the arrival of the Wabash train, say
ing he would pay literally for such favor.
The Wabash train arrived from the east
at 9:25 o'clock. A petite brunette
bash train, and in quicker time than it
arms. Hurrying the young lady into the
Pullman coach of the Santa Fe train, fol-
lowed by porter with numerous bags and
bundles, the young man made a dash for
the waiting-r0Om, and soon reappeared
with one of Recorder Hinder's deputies
and Justice Holt. A space was soon cleared
in the ladies' room of the car The deputy
recorder handed Justice Holt the license, and
hurriedly reading it.. the latter commanded
to the two to clasp hands and repeat the
formal ceremony prOnounclng them man
and wife. Before the last word had left
the Justices lips the whistle sounded and
the Santa Fe train began to pull out of the
depot, just three minutes after the arrival
of the Wabash train. The young man said
his name was Lorenzo d. Hickman, his
age twenty-five years, and that he lived in
Sedgewick county, Kansas. He said that
the young lady was Emma Hickman, who
lived with her parents in Vigo county,
Indiana, and that she was twenty-five

BRUSSELS, April S.-The Belgian govern
ment has ordered Gen. Boulanger to abstain
from political agitation, which the govern
ment will not tolerate. The General has
been informed that if he complies with the
wishes of the government in this respect
he will not be expelled from Belgium.
PARIS, April 9.-The indictment against
Gen. Boulanger, besides charging him with
conspiring to destroy the republic, is es-
pecially directed against Count Dillon, NJ.
Laguerre, member of the Chamber of Depu-
ties, NM. Rochefort and Dubarail, and two
journalists of Paris.
The Chamber of Deputies to-day dis
GUESSED the bill prescribing the mode of
procedure to be followed by the Senate when
sitting as court for the trial of General
Boulanger. M. Delafosz denounced the
measure as a mockery of justice, and an in
suit to the public conscience. He declared
that the Senate. being a political body,
could not act impartially in this case. This
assertion caused great uproar; Members
was one of wild disorder. The President of
the Chamber repeatedly called the house.tO
order. and urged the members to observe
moderation in the discussion. When
M. Delafosz was allowed to
continue, he said that law
and decency required that General Bou-
LANCER be tried at the assizes. Otherwise,
the trial would be an outrage on justice,
and q disgrace to the Senate. These re-
marks caused a renewal of the uproar. The
members of the Left made no attempt to
reply to NJ. Delafosz, but Immediately
moved to apply the closure rule. The mo-
tion was carried by vote of 253 to 242. A
motion was then made to begin the discus
sion Of the bill by clauses. This was also
carried-321 to 222.
The Chamber rejected all amendments
suggested by members of the Right. A
proposal by NJ. Ribot, that a majority of
seven-twelfths Of the Senate be necessary
to make valid any sentence pronounced
upon General Boulanger was also defeated.
The bill was adopted by q vote of 3ls to 2O5.
Warrants have been issued for the arrest
of Count Dillon and M. Rochefort.

EGAN AND DEV0Y.
Acrimonious Quarrel Between Irishmen Prom
inently Identified with Home Rule.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
NEW YORK, April 9.-At meeting of the
municipal council of the Irish National
League tonight. John Dewey submitted the
facts concerning his controversy with Pat
rick Egan. The Evening Telegram of
Wednesday last published Washington
telegram stating that in an interview Mr..
Egan had charged Mr.. Dewey with inspir-
ing the attack upon the genuineness of a
cable dispatch describing Mr.. Egan's serv-
ices in unmasking Piggott and had called
Mr.. Dewey q traitor. Mr.. Dewey tele-
graphed Mr. Egan that unless the
statements were repudiated he would hold
Mr. Egan personally responsible, and
take steps to vindicate his character. Dis
patches were also sent to the President and
Secretary of State complaining of Mr..
Egan's conduct and regretting the scandal
that he had not given an interview about
Mr.. Dewey to any paper. but he had no hes
itation in expressing his belief that he was
the author of the untruthful attack upon
him. Mr.. Dewey rejoined that Mr.. Egan's
ntterances, not his opinions, were in ques-
apology for the use of the word Traitor"
Mr.. Egan replied that whatever his
private opinions might be, he had
not used the word referred to. If Mr..
Dewey thought he could exact anything
further, he could go to law. Further cor
respondence was declined. Mr.. Dewey re-
spOnded that he had solicited no cor
respondence, and to decline it was, there
fore an impertinence. He had demanded
public contradiction of foul slander. As
Mr. Egan, in the sneaking and cowardly
way that characterized him. had insinuated
the same SANDER before, there was reason
to believe that he was correctly reported.
Mr.. Egan's first letter was q shuffiing eva
sion; his second was q self-evident lie, and
conveyed an insult in form that no one
but cur would select. Mr.. Egan dared not
publicly deny that he made the charges,
has not replied. Mr.. Dewey threatens to
rake up Mr.. Egan's character and make
things unpleasant for the administration
generally, unless public apology is made.
He introduced q resolution that
Whereas, Charges Of treachery had been made
purpOrting to come from prominent members of
the league and calculated to create distrust and
suspicion, therefore,
Resolved, That the interest Of the cause de-
mands an investigation; and that we insist that
committee which will be a guarantee of Impair
the charges and the condition of the National
movement in America generally. and In our be-
lief the judgment of such committee would be
accepted by the whole Irish race. and would place
the National movement in better position than
1t has ever occupied before.
Mr.. Dewey, Mr. Ryan and others sup
ported the resolution, and 1t was unani-
mously adopted. Copies will be sent to Mr.
Parnell and to President Fitzgerald.

Signs that Indicate the Cars Intentions as
to the Balkan States.
LONDON, April "a dispatch announcing
that the young King Alexander of Servia
is going to Russia in August for the pur-
pose of meeting the Gar at Charkoff has
revived statements that Servia has driftod
away from Austria, and is completely under
the control of Russia. Whether this be
true or not, there can be no doubt that the
Gar will take occasion, at the coming
meeting, to impress upon the mind of the
boy King and the Servian officials who will
accompany him the advisability of culti-
waiting Russia's friendship and deferring to
the wishes expressed by her represent
atives. In casting about in search
of an incentive to the young Kings
visit to Russia. one need go no further than
the youthful monarch's mother. Queen
Natalie having been advised that her pres
ence in Belgrade at this time would place
her son in an embarrassing position. has
doubtless influenced the step proposed to
be taken by the latter in order to commit
him to the pro; Russian meaning she so ar

tunity that has presented it,
self during the last few years.
1t may, therefore, be regarded as settled
that the march OF Russia toward the con-
quest of the Balkan states will not he long
delayed.
The cession of additional territory by
Persia to Russia indicates a renewal of
Russian operations. ostensibly against Af-
ghanistan. but really against India, at no
distant date. Gradually the northern en-
pire is absorbing all of the strategic points
surrounding the northern portion of the
Ameer's dominion, and there will be very
little delay in organizing an offensive
movement after she gets them.

THE CHICAGO ELECTION
While There Have Been Some Irregularities
They Do Not Affect the General Result.

CHICAGO, April 9.-The proposed scheme
to keep Mayor-elect Cregier out of his
Office by having last Tuesdays election de-
clared illegal did not materialize this morn

injunction last evening and was told by
Judge Jameson to come into court this
morning, did not appear, nor did the cleo
tion commi ssioner, whom Mr.. Stephens
was to notify of his application for an
order of the court to keep them from count
ing the ballots. Master in Chancery

that as soon as it should appear that he was
no longer Mayor he would vacate. The
question was as to the validity of title of

election. He did not think the Republican
party, as party, should contest the elec-
tion, but it might be necessary for the out

interests, TO assure themselves of the legal
ity of their actions before turning over
their offices to their Democratic successors.

Ohio Coal Operators.

COLUMBUS. O., April GA meeting of
Ohio coal operators was held here to-day
for the purpose of discussing the mining
situation, which is growing critical in this
State. Several meetings of the miners have
been held here recently for the purpose cf
defining policy relative to the scale of
prices for next years work. which begins
on May 1. The operators declare that be-
cause of Western competition they can
not afford to continue paying the
present scale, while miners are
loath to accept a reduction;
parts of the State will result unless some
definite arrangement between the operators
and miners is made very soon. No positive
agreement could be made by the operators
relative to the scale question, as the ma
jority absolutely refuse to make any con-
cessiOn to the miners. 1t was, however,
decided to send delegation of operators to
the joint meeting of the miners and oper-
ators at Pittsburg, which will be held on
Monday next. 1t is thought that by plac-
ing the matter before this convention the
dispute may be settled.
The operators of Ohio and the Pittsburg
district su omitted the following PROPOSE
tion upon the price of mining for the next
year: Hooking Valley 62 1-2 cents for the
first six months and ca 1-2 for the last six
months; Pittsburg district. II 1-2 and IS 10
cents for the first and last half Of the year.
