Great Damage and Suffering In

The most destructive food ever known

The great rain raised every tributary Of it
far out of their banks During the night It
rose rapidly. and at 10 o'clock in the morn
ing passed the highest water-nark in fifty
wears. In front of Dallas, Texas, IL was two
miles wide. extending 70 the foot OF
Flanders Height west and to Oak Cliff
south of the city. On the north all resi-
dences from hundred yards beyond Cochran
street were submerged, some TO the second
floor and others TO the attic. No one had
been reported drowned.
Back water extended far up the north
side of the city, while on the south houses
were submerged as far up as Ward street
north. South and in front of the city there
was one vast ocean Of water thirty and forty
feet deep. It's like has not been seen.
Trains all the railroads, the Texas
Pacific, the Missouri Pacific, the Santa Fee
and the Greenvile, were not running west,
north south of the city. WashOuts were
ported all along their lines but the worst were
Immediately around the city. Gangs of men
were watching the bridges over the Trinity
Of the waves lacked six feet of
the flooring of the bridges in
the city, but the Santa Fe Centrars
bridges below town were reported
submerged. News from the surrounding
country is bad. Small bridges have been
destroyed by the deluge. Indeed few are
left. The destruction of crops will amount
to little or nothing, for as soon as the water
goes down they will grow again.
The storm Of Friday will be a memorable
one. 1t extended from the Indian Territory
to the Gulf, from Marshall to Abilene. There
was not a stream, however small or great,
that was not raised high above its high water
mark. At many points were hurricanes and
one genuine cyclone. Many houses were
blown down, but SO far not a single life has
been reported lost. A norther was blowing,
and fires were quite comfortable

Stanley in London.

Henry II. Stanley, the explorer of Africe,
arrived at the Victoria station in London.
There vas an immense concourse of people
inside and outside the station and he was
givc1 a most enthusiastic greeting. The
Duke of Abercom, Baroness Burdett-C outts
and large number of other friends OF the
explorer were awaiting to welcome him.
The Baroness presented Mr.. Stanley with
bouquet. He silently bowed his thanks and
then entered the carriage Of the Baroness
ana drove off with her.
The hour of Mr.. Stanley's arrival at
Dover was $3.50 o'clock Disgraceful con-
fusion prevailed on the pier when he landed,
owing to mismanagement by the local
authorities. Fifty reporters were
present and they came near having O con-
fiict with the police owing to their
defiance of certain orders which the re-
pOrters regarded as unwarranted A
number of Mr.. Stanleys friends among
them being Mr. New the American Consul
General; General Sir Garnet W-lseley and
Rustem Pasha, the Turkish Ambassador,
and others of prominence were unable to
get aboard the steamer which brought Mr..
Stanley. The authorities of Dover presented
an address to Mr.. Stanley. He replied with
a few words of thanks.
At the command of the Prince of Wales,
Mr.. Stanley. Dr. Parke Sir William Mac
kinnOn and Sir Francis De Winton went to

LOUISVILLE, March 29.-Specials
with regard TO the storm say that
the new manufacturing town OF
Grand River, near Paducah, was
struck by the blast. A dozen
houses were blown down and
two persons killed-a woman and
boy. Twenty were hurt. AL the
t,legraphs are destroyed. At Far
mingtOn much damage was done to
buildings, but 10 loss OF life. At
Paduclh there was little damage.
TIE telegraphs are all down, and il
is thought the storm through the
section not heatd from may lie one
Of the disaster.
Temporary roofs are being put on
wherever possible. Hundreds Of
hogsheads OF exposed tobacco are
being carted 10 the warehouse. In
spite Of all efforts, however, several
thousand hcgsheads remain unpr0-
tectcd on the second, third and
fourth floors. There would be con-
Siderable difficulty in reaching
them. They seem ready to topple
into the street. The streets in tine
districts worst damaged are still
picketet. Elsewhere wagons and
all but mere sightseers are allowed
10 J,ass. Hundreds of men are busy
trying 10 save goods. Many Of those
employed on the wreekage are paid
10y the boarl Of trade committee.
Whenever help is desired il is given.
At Falls City Hall the men under
the direction Of the chief Of police
are still at work.
Up to early this morning eighty
six bodies had been taken from the
Falls City Hall and cellar at Eigh-
teenth Street and Magazine Street.
There Is a general belief that at
least forty more bodies are in the
dancing hall ruins. The latest and
most Intelligent estimate Of the
number Of dead throughout the
city viii not exceed $50. This is
careful aud fairly accurate.
CINCiNNATf, March GA spe-
cial from Bowling Green, KY, says
that no one was killed tht re, though
the storm did much damage.
L0nd-n, KY, reports much dam
age % properly but no loss Of hfe. At
Emirnee, Ky, the blast was very
severe. The house Of Joseph Kerry
was blown down, his three-year-Oli
child and Louis Maddox, his
brother-in-law, were killed. Kerry
was fatally hurt, and the wife and
babe were seriously injured.

The impression we have endea~-
ored 10 convey and which we think
we have made, Is that there was no
need for the concern, and that the
money to establish it was gained by
false pretenses and the utterance Of
scandalous stories without fcunda-
ton or excuse. That the "Home"
is n failure is now being demon
STATED and the tribune bully is
badly ratified over il, and so resorts
10 his accustomed expletives 10
cover his chsgrin. He can 50 on,
with impunity. We are Of the
opinion that the facts are as percep-
tible 70 the public as his impotent
rage and useless scurrility.

ling to accommodate visitors, and
how many they will entertain.
In case disappointment should
ensue on account Of the committee
not being able 20 supply lodging

mult Of theirs. The duty Of the
committee Is 10 distribute and locate
the people 10 the extent Of the ac-
commodation defined in the reports
Of the Bishops. Anything further
is beyond their ability TO furnish.
Persons who have means and are
therefore able 10 obtain stopping
places ON their own account, are not
