at st. Petersburg university made an
attack upon Lieut.-Gen. Gressner, chief
of the St. Petersburg police, who went
to the university to quell disturbances,
and treated him in very rough manner.
He was thrown to the floor, and while
lying PROSTATE was kicked a number of
times by his assailants.
The students abandoned the meeting
which they had proposed to hold yester-
day, the attendance being too small.
a number of students who have been
interviewed persist in their declaration
that the agitation is arising solely on ac-
count of educational matters. In proof
of this declaration the students assem-
bled at the university and archaeological
institute and sang the anthem, 'tGod
Preserve the Gear. The car is greatly
incensed because of the disturbance, and
has signified his intention of closing all
high public educational establishments
for q year 1t Is feared by Russian
officials, however, that years idleness
will foster the growth of disaffection
among students.

Arkansas City Visited by Another Storm.
New ORLEANS, La, April A
special from Arkansas City received at
ate hour last night says: Another wind
and rainstorm ragged here Wednesday
night. Ram poured down all night.
About o CLOCK several strong blasts OF
wind in rapid succession severely tested
the strength of every house in town and
brought their occupants out of their beds.
For several minutes it looked as though
the town would be blown away. Tbs
terrors of q storm in a town covered by
water TO depth of eight to twelve feet
can hardly be imagined. The Catholic
church was blown from its foundation
and considerably damaged. The build
ing was flooded to the depth of eigh:
feet ard all furniture and fixtures badly
damaged, The negro church was also
blown from its foundation. Thres
or four residences were treated likewise
Thursday morning dawned bright and
clear. The river has been falling all dsy
after rise of a foot last night. Two
government boats, II ;. NJ. Graham and
r. NJ. Sheed, have been busy all day re-
lieying distressed people on the opposite
side of the river. Capt. TOllinger OF the
government service mas secured the large
compress building here, and those of the
!. djssissippi people who want TO come he is
having brought over. The barge is al
Offert' s landing and is being loaded with
colored families and their goods. They
will be brought up here to-mor-
row. The building can aceomo-
date several hundred people. Capt.
Tollinger offered to bring the people &c
Huntington who are crowded into box
cars, on the platforms and levees over
to-day and give them quarters, but they
declined for the present and will remain
where they are unless another bad spell
of weather sets in. There are two barges
lying at Huntington, and stock is being
put aboard. In q day or two these
barges, together with several other
barges of stock that have been saved
from the food IN the Mississippi, viii be
taken up the Arkansas river to the
prairies in Arkansas county, where they
will be kept until the overflow has sub
sided. Capts. Tolliuger and Hider are
turning their attention now almost eX-
clusivelY TO saving people and their prop
erty, and with the limited means at
their command they are doing good ser
vice.

4 case Of much importance pertaining
20 ,hc rights Of telephone and electric
railway companies has just been decided
by the New York court at Albany in Il
long and cNhaustively contested suit be
tween the telephone and electric railway
company. The basis of the suit and its
results are these. When the Albany and
West Troy horse railroad company
changed H. power to electricity it con
>t,uctea the single trolly overhead sys
tern of propulsion. In operation the
railroad current seriously interfercd
with telephone communication aIorg
the same route. The telephone cont
pany began faction against the railroad
company, which, after going through
various stages and being prolonged for
two years or more. WAS decided by a
referee last week against the telephone
company. The point at issue was
whether the railroad company, coming
upon the route after the telephone com
lMnv, could use the earth for its return
current The decision of the referee i
10 the effect that no one car acquire ex.
elusive use to any part of the earth for
the purpose of grounding electric wires
In case of telephone and electric railroad
wires occupying the same streets or
roads the one THAT suffers Inconvenience
