A DISASTROUS STORM.
Several Kansas Towns Destroyed
and Several Lives Lost.

A disaster at Uniontown, Kansas,
June 10th, was caused by the bursting
Of a dam. The towns OF Uniontown
and Belltown were flooded and several
lives are reported lost, Additional ad-
vices about the disaster in Kansas from
wind and storms are that Uniontown,
about l5 miles west OF Fort Scott on
the Wichita & Western railroad was
swept away and that two women and
four children were drowned. Union
town, which is place OF 600 inhabi-
tants, is in the midst OF thickly set
tied country and it is feared that the
loss Of life is even heavier than report
ed. AS the wires are down for fifteen
miles on either side nothing definite
can be learned. The storm struck the
western part Of Bourbon county late at
night coming from the west, where 1t
has played greathavoc. AtAugusta, it
assumed the form Of cloud burst and
though everything has been done to OBJ
tain details by railroads, all is uncertain
atpreseent. Heavy rains washed away
the ice dam ut Sixth street, causing
the water in Buck run to rise at the
rate of three feet an hour, carrying
away several houses and the bridge
across Sixth street. A part OF Fort
Scott known as Belltown Is entirely
under water and the people were taken
out in boats. Several bridges were
washed away and trains were stopped
on both sides OF Fort Scott, the roads
being under water for quitea distance.
Tho water has stopped rising and IL no
more rain falls the food will rapidly
subside.
The valley of the Walnut river is
flooded from the excessive rains. The
river came up so suddenly that u family
by the name Of Graham fed from home
to the high land. The mother and baby
were drowned, father and child
escaping. grain fields are flooded,
and much damage must result.
Railroad property is also considerably
damaged The water was receding ut
last report. The drowning of o.
Beaman, in Cassidy, is reported, and
1t Is thought that several others have
lost their lives in the lower valley.
Allen county suffered severely
from floods in the Noesho river and its
principal tributaries. The streams
have been unusually high all spring and
the heavy rains recently brought them
out of their banks, flooding the bottoms
for mile or more on either side. There
has been no loss of life or live stock
and those living on the low Land were
warned in time, but 1t is feared that
hundreds of acres OF wheat which was
ustripening, and promised very large
yield, will be almost total loss, while
submerged corn and other crops will
be greatly damaged. Near the river
west of lola a large number of small
bridges and culverts along the wagon
roads have been washed out and work
men wero engaged strengthening the
river bridge, which it is feared has
been seriously undermined. The
water reached its highest point at 5
o'clock Monday morning, June 18th
since which time it has been slowly
receding and it is now hoped the worst
is past.

BEFORE THE GRAND JURY
Testimony OF Witnesses In the Cro-
min Case In Chicago.

The special Grand jury In the
Cronin case began its fourth days ses-
sion, and the indications are that several
days will yet be consumed before the
jury is prepared to make its final re
port. A long array of witnesses have
been supanied and the jury evinoes n
determination to inquire into the
minutest details OF the case. A mum
Der Of the witnesses who were examin-
ed by the coroner's jury again went
over their testimony and DIR. Cronin's
papers were submitted to tho jury by
Officer Palmer, and filed away for
future examination.
Woodruff, alias Black, II Is said has
told the police that DIR. Cronin was
murdered with " hatchet, which he
described, He claims he knows where
1t is concealed, but the authorities put
little credence in his story, and declin
cd to accede to his request to be- re-
leased, when he would at once point
out its location.
Miss Annie Murphy reiterated TO the
jury her oft told tale about having seen
DIR. Cronin on n street car apparently
bound for the depot, at the time when,
as subsequent events indicate, he was
cold in death. Miss Murphy still In
sists that the man she saw was Cronin
or his ghost, and adheres empha,ically
to all the details of her original story
Thomas G. Ward, the law partner of
Alexander Sullivan, was called and
questioned infinitely regarding Sulli-
vans speculations. Witness knew but
little regarding Sullivan's private AZ
fairs, and then stated he was unable TO
give the jury any valuable informa-
ton.
Alexander Sullivan's friends were
jubilant over his release, Lawyer
Trudc, referring to Judge Tuley's de-
cisiun, said Sullivan had been receiv-
ing letters and kilograms from all over
the country expressing indignation at
the course pursued toward him, and
rendering aid and sympathy.
Luke Dillon, a well known rcpresen-
tatlve of the Clan-na-Gael, said he
thought Judge Tuley's decision was a
just one as the evidence before the
Coroner's jury was not sufficient to
warrant Sullivan being held without
bail. He expects that an indictment
will be returned against sullivan, but
cannot say that he has any real grounds
for the expectation. Thomas Tirney
who was arrested was released from
custody.

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 2l-The regulators
have been at work In different parts Of the
state during the last week, but have found
a disposition on the part of the authorities
TO check their schemes. Colored as we'll as
white men are implicated. At Homer, IN
Claiborne parish, James and Ezekiel Smith,
two young white men, were lodged In jail
charged with the murder OF u negro woman.
Il seems that the parties went to n negro's
house for the purpose Of whipping him, and
for some reason shot into the house and
killed woman. The supposition is that
they intended 70 kill the man.
Wednesday night colored man, William
Eldridge, was killed near Gordon There
appears to have been a conspiracy formed,
TO which several colored men were parties
to put E.dridge out Of the way, and he wa.
decoyed out Of his house and shot down.
