A CLOUD-BURST
Causes Railroad Wreck and Serious Loss Of
LIfe-Houses and Their Occupants
swept to Destruction.

LOUISVILLE, KY, June 13.-At Bull
creek, six miles above Msysville, last
night two dark clouds met and burst.
Brooks jumped over their narrow banks
and swept several dwelling houses and
their occupants away. A stone culYert
on the Chattanooga and Ohio railroad
over Bull creek was washed out into the
river, and about II O'Clock last
night, while the storm was
at its height, the west-bound
freight train ran into the washout
causing a wreck of the engine and nine
cars, which piled on top of one another
out of sight in the creek bottom. En-
gineer G. G. Roadcap, Fireman Morris
Honaker and Brakeman Charles NJ.
Eaton are buried beneath the wreck, and
their bodies have not yet been recovered.
Conductor w. r. Watts and Brakeman
w. A. Love jumped from the hind car
and escaped unhurt. A wrecking train
on its way to the scene this morning ran
over Frank Scott, colored employe and
killed him. About a dozen persons liv-
ing on the banks of Bull creek are re-
ported drowned. The following bodies
have been found: John Ruggles, we'll
known fisherman; Lucy Pestler and Two
daughters, Bette and Julia, and two
sons

A NEWSPAPER writer credits John
wanamaker with the statement that if
allowed to run the postofice department
as he would like to operate it, he would
make $40. 900, 900 year out of it for the
government. Very likely. He would
make it an annex to his Bargain Counter
and run it on the same business principles.
John IS idea of cabinet position has ref
erence only to the possibilities for money
making which it admits of. But think,
if you please, of the statesmanship that
would convert department of the gov
ernment-a creature of the people-into
a gigantic scheme for taking millions
from them annually in order to SVEN the

THE proposed erection of o hospital
for consumptives, to cost So, 200, 900, by
Mrs. Ayres might be construed as an ex-
piatorY offering. Mrs. Ayres is the
widow of the noted Ayres of Cherry
Pectoral fame, and if half the virtues
CLAIMED for this remedy were true no
pulmonary diseases could exist, at least
the benevolent widow need only to have
a free distribution of this medicine to
abolish any necessity for such hos
pital. There is dim suspicion awak-
ened by this announcement that even q
patent medicine advertisement is not as
true as holy writ.

TARIFF TH1MBLERIGGI NG.

The alacrity displayed by the sen ate
finance committee in taking up the house
silver bill, and recommending radical
amendments which will be speedily re-
ported to the senate is in striking con-
trast with the evident purpose of that
body to hinder and clog the final passage
of tariff bill at the present session. It
Is given out that tariff bill viii proba-
bly, be reported next week. 1t is more
likely that it will not. If the svowed
haste in its introduction was sincere
when first proclaimed, the bill would
now be before the senate. One week

it passed the house, would be ample for
its consideration by the senate commit

TIE Japanese in modifying their form
of government cast about for code of
morals. A careful investigation of the
principles of morals underlying European
civilization has led to the conclusion that
these are untitled to the Japanese, and
that the tenets of Confucius are the best
guide. The Japanese reformers have
been somewhat hasty in their action, if
Gen. Grosvenor's opinion is of value. He
says that when the report of the commit
tee and action of the house thereon in the
case duplicating Ex-Governor Foraker in
the ballot-box frauds in Ohio is made
public it will fix the standard of morality
in the Uuited States. A fixed standard
is doubtless what is most needed in east
ern as well as western civilization.
Confucius nor any of the old time moral
lists could have foreseen and provided
against the complications in modern re-
publicanism. What could those old
worthless know of Credit Mobilier, blocks
of FIVE, stuffed ballot boxes andiths like?
The state has not been noted in the past
for its high standard of morals in poll
tics, but good may come out of Ohio.

FOR NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

FOR GOVERNOR--ANDY IA ULRNER.
1t is ever the mission of THE GAZETTE
to pour oil on the troubled waters, and
to suggest ways and means to the per-
picked. Some difficulty has been found
by those who oppose railway regulation
and by those who favor railway regula-
ton with a string TO it, to find a candi-
date who would stick, or one who could
raise a ripple on the dead calm of anti
commission sentiment.
Throokmorton, loved and honored of
Texas, with long life of honorable and
useful service before him, was brought
out only to retire without having aroused
anything of the old-time enthusiasm
when his name was mentioned for public
service.
Mcdonald, the brave and elegant gem
tleman, was announced and behind him
was his record as an able lawyer and
faithful public servant. But his brilliant
service in the senate availed nothing
and he suddenly gave up the canvass just
in time to see a majority of the pre-
cincts in his own county instruct for
another candidate for governor.
Land Commissioner Hall, whose fame
as letter writer has extended to the ut
termost bounds Of the Panhandle, was
put in the field, but no answer comes
back from the Threats of the people as he
wends his way over hill and vale and de-
rivers his speech.
Gov. Wheeler, the child of political
luck, early SHE'D his castor in the ring;
hs still SHES it, but no welkin rings as
he SHES.
Gustave Cook, one Of the most famous
judges of Texas, was brought forth to
fill McDonald's shoes; but his appeals
for personal liberty and illusions to
Poor's Manual and his plea for his IN
tuitlons meet with no perceptible break
in the zephyr that Is growing into a
cyclone. The giants have withdrawn,
and the sooth-sayers predict that the
pigmies will soon follow the giants into
withdrawal.
Now, then, before confusion ensue,
and as tribute to the only man who
has yet raised an anti-ripple, THE GA
zETTE dominates for governor-Col.
Andy Faulkner. This is q campaign OF
issues, and the colonel has been the only
man on his side who could raise one. If
there be reward for merit left on this
earth, the suggestion of THE GAZETTE
will make the anti-regulation welkin
ring, and from the throats of glad par
tisans will come the responsive shout,
candy Faulkner for governor. -

AUSTIN Statesman: 1t is with exceed
ing great pleasure the Statesman makes
note of the report that the Spring Palace
management will not only get out of the
fire whole and sound, but will have q
good margin with which TO begin work
on permanent fire proof Palace All
honor to the pluck and determination of
the people of Fort Worth and espe oially
the Spring Palace management. In
this connection the Statesman would en-
dorse the suggestion of Mr.. John Hoeny
editor of the Abilene Reporter, that each
county Of the state contribute some
material to go into the construction Of
the new permanent building. That should
be made not only a Fort Worth but
Texas institution, and every county in
the state should contribute to its build
ing
