KEPT HIS PROMISE.
A Young Man Sues and Receivers Reward of
$4,000 Promised Him for Being Good.

MIDDLETowN, N. Y, Aug. 25.-William
L. Story. ST., of Erie county, had a nephew,
William Z. Story, jr.. of Canastota. When
the nephew was about fifteen years of age
the uncle promised him that if he would
abstain from card-playing and the use of
intoxicating drinks and behave until he
was twenty-one years old he would give
him 5000 when he attained his majority
1t is claimed that young Story compiled
with the conditions exacted until he be-
came of age, in 1915. But the uncle failed
to fulfill his promise, and when he died, in
1887, the 5000 was still unpaid. Through
an attorney young Story began an action
against his uncle's estate to force payment
of the &, 900 and interest. The case came up
the other day before Justice Forbes. sitting
at special term lof the Madison Circuit
Court. The defense admitted the promise
by the deceased. and the fulfillment of the
conditions by the plaintiff, but maintained
that the claim was void by reason of the
ambiguity and insufficiency of the alleged
consideration, and by reason of its being
barred by the statute of limitations. The
court ruled for the plaintiff on all points,
and ordered that young Story should have
Judgment for the amount claimed, with
costs.

OUTRAGE ON A NEGRO BOY.
Tortured Into Admitting Crime He Did Not
Commit and Then Killed.

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 25.-Information has
just been received of the outrageous tortur-
ing and killing of a negro boy near Haynes
Vile. Claiborne parish, Louisiana. AS num-
Der Of prominent people of the place were
concerned, there was, of course. an attempt
made to keep the details hidden. On Thurs
day warehouse and doctors office in
Haynesville were burned. The fire was
supposed to be incendiary and negro boy
aged eighteen was suspected of the deed.
There was nothing against him beyond sus-
piciOn. SO he was taken in charge by num-
Der of citizens and attempts made to COM
pei O confession. He was severely whipped
several times during the day and at length,
to avoid further torture, said he had set
fire to the house. Thursday night shots
were heard in the vicinity of Haynesville,
and few hours later the report was issued
that the boy had escaped. Sunday the
county sheriff went to Haynesville to make
an Investigation, and the coroner's Jury is
now sitting on the case. A warrant for the
arrest of Joe Thigpen and Will Harkens,
charging them with the murder of the ne
gro, has been issued, but neither of them
can be found. There is considerable ex-
citement in the parish over the killing, and
not little feeling.

DISASTERS IN CHINA.

Loss Of Life by the Yellow River Flood Too
Great to BE Counted-Recent Earthquakes.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 25.-The steamer
Oceanica arrived to-day from Hong Kong
and YOkOhoma, bringing advices to Aug.
10. of further details of the bursting of the
Yellow river embankments in the province
of Shan Tung, July 22, which state that the
destruction is widespread. The breach in the
river is over 1000 feet in length, and
swift current swept through, flooding to q
depth of twelve feet large extent of the
country lying adjacent. Many houses
were washed away. and dispatch from
ChefOo states that the number of persons
drowned Is too great to be counted. Ten
districts are already submerged. and it is
feared many more in the low-lying country
south will suffer a similar fate.
The latest advices concerning the earth
quake at kumamata, July 2S. place the
number of killed at eighteen, and the
wounded at nineteen. Fifty-two dwell
ings were demolished. A telegram on the
30th of July states that fifty-three shocks
had been experienced, and that they con-
tinued to be felt. The inhabitants were
sleeping in the open air. The same earth
quake was fek in the province of Clukugo
Considerable loss of life is reported, but
no particulars have been received.

TARDY sHIP-BUILDERs.
Every War Vessel in Process OF Construction
Under Penalty for Delay.

Process
Under Penalty for Delay.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON. Aug. 25-Every vessel be-
ing built for the new navy is now under
penalty for delay IN complying with the re-
quirements of the contracts. Yesterday
the Quintard iron works. of New York. be-
gan paying penalties of $50 per day on each
of the two vessels now under construction
by them. These vessels, the Concord and
Bennington, will be finished in May, 1890,
and during the intervening time the con-
tractors must forfeit to the government
500 for each of the six working days Ill
every week.
There has been rumor about the Navy
Department for several days that a ship
builders trust has been formed, with a
view to compelling Congress tOmake larger
appropriations for the building OF new yes
sells. There seems to be no ground for this
report other than the fact that on Thursday
last, when bids for five now cruisers were
opened at the Navy Department. both the
firms that made proposals failed to limit
them to the appropriations, viz: Seven
hundred thousand dollars for each of the
2.0O0-ton cruisers. and s.. 100. 600 for each of
the 3,000-ton steel vessels. 1t Is asserted by
naval officers who are familiar with
ship-building interests that no such trust
has been contemplated, and to further
prove thisit is stated that Henry Scott. OF
the Union iron-works. of San Francisco,
was prepared to submit bids within the APP
preparations, but just before the opening he
received telegram from the manager of
the works directing him not 10 do so. After
careful considerations, involving the offer
ing of bids for these cruisers, 1t was de-
cided. after Mr.. Scott had left for Washing
ton, that the works could not build them at
all without pecuniary loss.
Some OF the penalties now being paid on
vessels in course of construction are quite
large. The Columbia iron-works. at Balti-
more, the company that can afford least of
all ship-building firms to lose the money. is
paying penalty of 500 day on the Petrol.
| for though that vessel is completed. she
| has not been accepted by the govern ment.
| The penalties will continue until the vessel
] is formally accepted by the government.
| The Baltimore, one of the vessels at the
| Cramp works, is earning a penalty of 500
| day, but this will continue only until
| Oct Is next, when she will be completed.
| At the Union iron works. of San Francisco.
| the Charleston is now undergoing repairs
under penalty of SlOO day. The Vesu-
| vius under contract to the Cramps Is pay
ing penalty of 500 a day. and this will
end Sept /. providing her pneumatic guns
| stand a satisfactory test.

MILL RESERVOIR BURSTS.


PROVIDENCE, r. l., Aug. @.-The Spring
lake reservoir. near Fiskville, in the south
west corner of Cranston, about fifteen
miles from this city, which supplies num-
Der of mill villages along the Pawtuxet
river. burst this afternoon. Three persons
were drowned, and some damage done to
property. A man named Yew, who
was about quarter of
mile of, noticed the water coming
through the masonry of the dam. as he de-
scribes it, in a stream about as big as bar
rel The hole was apparently growing very
rapidly. The only living object in sight
was cow, few hundred feet across the
fields. which Yew succeeded IN saving. al
though the water was up to his neck.
Meanwhile, down the valley were Mrs.
Green Tew, aged sixty; Mrs Hawkins, aged
ninety, and Mrs. Tew's son, seventeen years
old. They were walking through a strip
of wood, and were Overtaken by the
flood and drowned. Their bodies were
found in the wood, through which the
water quickly ran until it emptied into the
Pawtuxet river. The river rose rapidly,
and caused considerable alarm among the
people along its banks, who thought the
Ponogansett reservoir. the largest in the
State, had gone. Most of them left their
homes and lied for safety, but the flood
su5sided as rapidly as it had come. The
path of the water from the reservoir was
through thinly-settled country, and the
only damage to property was the wrecking
of a stable belonging to Russell Matthew
son, the capsizing OF DR.. +. Clark's car
riage-shop. and the demolition of three
road bridges.
The dam was built in 1887 for the service
of the Pawtuxet Valley Company, redeem
ing a small swampy pond, locally known as
Spruce lake. The reservoir covered eigh-
teen acres and contained about thirty five
million gallons of water. The dam is 925
feet long, 17.9 feet high, s feet on the top,
and So feet wide at the bottom. The gap
left by the water is between sixty and
seventy feet long. No examination has
been made to learn the cause of the break.
The man Yew is the only witness to any
part of the casulty. The reservoir was en-
tirely emptied.
The cause of the bursting of the dam is
believed to be a spring that existed under
the middle of the dam. The builders
did not take sufficient precaution
to choke this spring, and it
undermined the dam. Earl Dodge, nine
years old, was with the party that was
overtaken and drowned. He escaped, with
bruises, by clinging to tree.

RESEMBLES MARVELS CASE.
A Paralytic in Illinois Who Has Lived Over
Year-FOOd Through Quill.

GALENA. Ill, Aug. 25.-The case of
Thomas Hull, jr., the fifteen-year-old son of
Thomas Hull, OF Vinegar Hill, six miles
from Galena, is one of the most remarkable
ever reported among those persons who are
compelled to abstain from food for long
periods. One year ago last April the boy
was taken Ill with spinal meningitis. By
careful medical treatment his life was
saved, but he was left n paralytic by the
disease. So complete was the PARALYSIS
that even the tongue was unable to perform
its functions, every voluntary muscle of
his body being paralyZed. 1t was Thought
at the time that he could live but a short
time in such q helpless condition, but as
time wears on he seems 10 grow but little
weaker. and his death is yet apparently far
off, The strangest feature of the case is
that life should be maintained SO long on
the food TO which he has been restricted.
The muscles of the tongue and throat being
paralyZed il is impossible for him to
swallow, and every ounce of food which ho
has consumed has been conveyed to the
gullet by means of a quill. In this manner
small allowances of milk, whisky, Cruel
and juices of fruits have been administered
10 him daily.

Brazil Miners Asked to Send q Committee
to Chicago to Investigate the Markets.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
BRAZIL, Ind, Aug. 25.-The principal ar
gument of the Indiana block-coal opera
tors in their demand for 15-cent re-
duction, and in their refusal to arbitrate is
the condition of the market. They once
proposed to open their books and show
that their earnings had not exceeded a
fraction over per cent for the last year.
The miners have been incredulous. Presi-
dent H. H. Porter. of the Chicago & Eastern
Illinois road, whose Chicago and Indiana
coal division reaches Brazil, has written q
long letter addressed to the Brazil Block
coal Company miners. in which he offers
free transportation to committee who
may be appointed to visit Chicago to inves-
tigate the markets. The letter says the
Brazil Block-coal Company has paid 10
dividends on its stock. whose market value
has deprecated 40 per cent, in the past
three years. He fOresees that the out
come of the strike must bring more hard
ship to the miners than they realize. 1t is
thought committee will be appointed on
Tuesday. The railroad has lost heavily
from the strike, as traffic has been suspend
ed for four months past The operators
have also lost heavily, and it is rumored
that the mines will be started soon by i'm
ported miners If not otherwise.
