erly Managed.
WASHINGTON, June 17th-Some time ago
Rev DR.. Childs, at the request of Secretary
Noble, went to the Hampton Indian School
and quietly investigated the complaints in
regard to the management of the Indians
which had been brought to the attention of
the Government. nc. Childs report was to
the effect that the food given the Indian
boys was not good and the Indians com
planned that the contributions made for
their benefit were fused for the benefit of
the negroes of the school.
DR.. Childs also animadverted severely
upon the use Of q noiSome dungeon or
guard house built in the basement under
the offices of the institution. General c..
B. Fisk, Chairman OF the Board of Indian
Commissioners, sent two members of the
Board to Hampton who made a report con-
Trajectory to DIR. Childs.
DIR. Childs has written a letter 10 General
Fisk in which he says it is evident there
were things which needed correction from
theifaCt they were corrected after his inves-
tigatiOn and the Indians sent representa-
tive to this city to return thanks for the
improved condition.
As to the immurinC of Indians in the
dungeon he says he is amazed that the
Board can defend this mode Of disciplining
Indian children.
1t is understood that Secretary Noble has
decided that the cell punishment shall not
be inflicted hereafter.

GREAT LOSS OF CROPS.
lola (kas.), June I7th.-Allen county
suffered severely during the past thirty-six
hours from the floods in the Neosho river
and its principal tributaries. The streams
were unusually high all spring, and the
heavy rains of Saturday night brought
them out of their banks. flooding the bot
toms Tor mile or more on either side.
There has been no loss of life or OF live
stock. Those living on the low land were
warned in time, but it is feared hundreds
of acres of wheat which was lust ripening
and promised very large yield, will be al
most total loss, while the submerged corn
and other crops will be greatly damaged.
The water reached its highest point Mon
day morning, since which time II has been
slowly receding, and it is now hoped the
worst is past.

Heavy Rains and a Broken Dam Destroy
a Country Village.
KANSAS CITY, June 17th.-A terrible ca
lamity has fallen upon Uniontown and
Belletown, in Kansas, and the country
round about them.
A violent wind and rain storm passed
over that section, and the unprecedented
fall of rain caused dam above Uniontown
to break, and the whole village was swept
away.
Uniontown is small village in Marion
township, Bourbon county sixteen miles
west of Fort Scott. 1t had 600 inhabitants,
grist mill and several stores. Belletown
is another small village.
The latest accounts of the flood are to
the effect that the whole town was de-
stroyed and that two women and four chill
dren were drowned.
The wires are down for fifteen miles on
either side, and nothing definite can be
learned. The disaster occurred in a thickly
settled region, and the damage must have
been very great. 1t is feared that the loss
of life is heavier than reported.
LATER DETAILS.
ST. LOUIS, June 1zth.-The storm struck
the western part of Bourbon county late at
night, coming from the west, where il
sumed the form of cloud-burst. In Fort
Scott it commenced raining on Sunday
morning very heavily. This caused the
flood, carrying away several houses.

WASHINGTON, June 17th.-The Attorney
General Is still considering the question of
the admission Of the Professors of the new
Catholic University from Europe. He is
not ready yet to announce his decision. In
fact, he says he is in doubt whether the
case is in such shape as to admit of his
giving decision. He is not certain that
he ought to consider the matter until the
Professors have actually arrived in port
The truth of the matter is that the Ad-
ministration is not little disturbed over
the somewhat emphatic announcement of
Hepburn, the new Solicitor of the Treas
ury, to the effect that he is an American.
and will try to prevent the entry of con-
tract labor into this country, whether
laborers for the railroad or college service.
A good deal of annoyance has been ex-
pressed by Catholics all over the country
at the bad taste of Hepburn's talk, and it
is very doubtful if he is upheld by his su-
perior officer.

DEATH OF JOHN GILBERT.
Loss of One of the Brightest Stars on t

Loss of One of the Brightest Stars on the
American Stage.
BosToN, June 17th.-John Gilbert, the re-
nowned actor, died at his home this after
noon.
John Gibbs Gilbert was born in Boston Feb
ruary 81 1910, and was therefore almost an Oc-
togenarian. He was educated in the public
schools of his native city, and at the age of IA
placed in a dry-goodS store, where he remained
four years. After some experience in private
theatricals he appeared November 2S iS2S, at
the old fremont Theater as Jafier, in Venice
Preserved This was followed by sir Edward
Mortimer, in the g Iron Chest " and Shylock, in
THE Merchant of Venice" He soon became
stock actor, on the pay of SS per week, and
dissatisfied with his condition sought all en-
gagement with Caldwell, manager OF the New
Orleans Theater, and for about four years played
general utility in the.Southwestern theaters.
Subsequently he acted for five years in Boston,
one year in New York City, and again five years
in Boston. In 1877 he went to London
and joined the company of the Princess
Theater, having been engaged to rep
resent the parts of old men i'll
standard comedies. His first appearance there
was as Sir Robert Bramble in The Poor Gentle
man." After the close of the London season he
visited Paris, for the purpose of study. In lSiS
he returned to America and appeared under the
management of Hamblin at the New York Park
Theater His last performance at this place
was in the part OF Admiral Kingston in g Naval
Engagements" the evening before it was
ceSstul management. He then went to the
BOwery Theater, and from the latter in 1851 to
the Philadelphia Iheater, where he remained
for five years, returning again to Boston in
1857. From 1858 10 1862 he played in Phiiadtl-
phia.- In the latter year he Joined WallaCk'S S
Theater in New York City, with which he re-
mained until stricken with disease some
months since. He was twice married. Away
from the stage his life was quiet and retired.
He was one of the few performers before the
public whose career compassed more than two
generations from the days when he played in
connection with Cooper, JuniuS B. Booth and
the kembles. His range of characters was
wide in comedy and tragedy, and in his
eightie tn year he was among the few who were
able 20 portray effectively the old English
gentlemen of other days.-EDs.

are now on the road to bring Burke here.
