pointed committee to examine into the
matter, to ascertain the cause Of the rapid in
crease Of leprosy, its contagiousness, the ex'
tent of its inroads upon the white popula

TORONTO, Ont, June I4-Society is
wildly excited about an elopement between
Mrs. Smith, the wife of one of the big
gest merchants in Toronto, and Eddy
Rutherford, who belongs to one of the
very first families. He is a bachelor of
30. For some time past their intimacy
was freely spoken of. and when both were
missing and no explanation given tongues
wagged freely. A private dispatch from
New York. said they were both seen in
that city. Mr.. Smith had paid no atten-
ton to the scandalous talk until the re-
ceipt Of this message, when be at once
started for New York. His friends say
that be has not lost confidence in his wife
AND that his object is to trace her actions
in Montreal and Boston, where he under
stood she was visiting. He is not q man
to suffer wrong of this kind calmly and u
tragedy may be the end OF it if the story
Is true. Mrs. Smith was one OF the most
beautiful women in Toronto society. Her
maiden name was Devereaux, and she
had gained fame as a concert singer. Mr..
Rutherford's friends DENY his guilt. also,
but they offer no explanation of his
absence.

WASHINGTON. June l4.-Representa-
tive Payson OF Illinois today reported
from the committee on public lands a
substitute tor the senate bill for the ac-
QUESTION of land for town sites and com
mercial purpose 10 Alaska. The com
mittee in the accompanying report says
that while the senate bill proposes par
tial relief it does not go far enough. The
report refers 10 the fact that during the
twenty-five years Alaska has been in the
possession Of the United States there has
been, with the exception Of the mining
laws, absolutely no legislation tending to
its development. No protec-
ton is offered for the Investment OF either
capital or labor to the several thousand
Americans there.
The house committee on mines and
mining today agreed upon a bill having
for its object the better protection of the
lives of persons employed in coal mines in
the territories. There are but three ter
ritories that will be affected BY the pro
visions of the bill, viz Alaska, Idaho aud
Indian territory. As these are the only
ones in which coal is mined the bill pro-
vides for the appointment of mine inspec-
tors, and for furnishing mines With ma
chinerv and other appliances necessary TO
the safety Of the employees. Where
these are inadequate it compels owners or
managers to provide at least two shafts,
slopes or other outlets, separated by a
natural strata OF not less than $50 feet in
breadth, by which shaft, slopes or out
let's distinct means of ingress and egress
shall always be available to persons en-

WASHINGTON. June l4.-After I'M
important business the enate proceeded
to the consideration of bills on the calen-
dar. The following passed: Senate bill
to amend the law relating to custom reve-
nue. bonds, making the signature of one
member of a firm binding on all mem
bers; senate bill to provide for the exami-
nation Of certain officers of the army and
regulate promotions therein. 1t provides
that promotion to every grade below that
Of brigadier general throughout each arm,
corps or department shall be made ac-
cording to seniority in the next lower
grade. 1t prescrbes a system OF exami-
nation for all officers below the rank of
major.
Regular progress in the calendar vas
interrupted and at the request of Nor
rill the senate bill was taken up to es-
tablish an educational fund and apply the
proceeds of public lands aud receipts from
certain land grant railroad companies to a
more complete endowment and support of
colleges tor the advancement Of scientific
and industrial education. Morrill, adj
dressed the senate in its advocacy. At
the conclusion OF Morril's remarks the
bill was laid aside without final action.
Consideration of bills On the calendar
was resumed and several passed. Among
them was the senate bill to credit Mai.
Wham, army paymaster, with $24, 345
government funds of which he was
robbed in Arizona in May, 1889.

vate pension bills the senate loon ad-

An EIectricaI Bal Of Fire.

INDIANAPOLIS June l4.-Duriug the
electrical storm last night Louis Davis.
a boy living south of the city, was killed
by lightning. Attorney General Kitchener
and his family had an exciting experience.
Michner aud Mrs. Michener and four
children we're sitting in the room in which
there is q telephone, and all within eight
feet of each other, when Mrs. Kitchener
saw a globe OF fire about the size ola goose
egg come from the telephone. 1t just
grazed Mr.. Michener's ear and exploded
in front OF him. The noise was like a
cannon shot and brought people from their
houses for squares around. Mrs. Mich
ener thought her husband had been killed
aud the escape of SO many persons from
injury seems almost miraculous. The
telephone connections we're destroyed, but
there is no other trace of the stroke oil
electricity. The ball OF fire seems to have
exploded before touching the floor.

RocKFoRD, ILL.,, June l4.-Neyer
slnce.lS57, when the waters rose and over
whelmed nearly all of Rockford, has
such 3 disastrous food visited this section
as last evening. 1t is estimated that the
damage to property will reach $500. 600.
The rain fell in torrents for three hours,
accompanied by vivid lightning and deaf
ening thunder. 1t a short time every
street was a river and soon devastating
floods we're sweeping through the Kent
and Keith creek valley. Down the Keith
creek district came the food sweep
ing everything before it. The water
spread over the low lands. filing cellars,
creeping up into the first stories of houses
and driving the people frop their beds.
The basement stories of the Co-opera-
tive and Forest City furniture factories
were flooded many feet deep. Lumber
piles beside the factories were picked up
and carried along, planks and heavy tim
bers providing battering rams which took
down the bridges spanning the creek.
The fire department and police worked
hard all night carrying people from the
flooded districts TO places of shelter.
Many fed from their houses when the
water began running into their cellars.
fearing they would be carried away. So
far as can be learned no lives were lost.
The city this morning presented a scene
of desolation. The entire lower portion
was a lake covered with floating debris.
The Illinois Central and Milwaukee rail-
road companies are the heaviest losers.
Many cattle and sheep were drowned. and
considerable damage done to the resi-
receded today almost as quickly as they
bad risen.

WASHINGTON, June l4.-The speaker
announced the appointment of Taylor of
Ohio. Stewart of Vermont, and Bland of
Missouri as conterees or the a%nti-tru t
bill. Bland said that as the house had
instructed the conferees to recede from its
the matter and asked to be excused.
Culverson OF Texas was appointed to the
vacancy.
The house then went into committee of
the whole on the sundry civil a%ppropria-
ton bill. After a number OF amendments
were disposed of the committee rose and
the house proceeded 10 pay tribute to the
memory of the late Samuel J.. Randall.
Among the speakers were O'Neil of
Pennsylvania, Forney of Alabama, Cas-
we'll of Wisconsin, Blount of Georgia,
Dalzell of Pennsylvania, Butterworth of
Ohio. McComas Of Maryland, Dunnell of
Minnesota. Mills of Texns, Osborne OF

Ferral of Virginia, Buchanan Of New
York, Williams of Ohio, Manson of Mis-
souri,, Breckenridge of Kentucky, Covert
of New York, Kerr of Pennsylvania and
Mr.. Randalrs successor, Naux. Vaux
said In part that Randall's high rank and
fame were due to his honesty. lis will
power, his courage and his determination.
His personal and political integrity were
beyond the reach of suspicion. Schemes,
jobs and covert efforts to secure public
money were neither -cpuntenanced nor en-
outraged BY him. His honesty was the
glory of his life. Those of his party who
could not agree with him on some ques-
tons bowed before his admittedly stain
less honor.

SHAhoKIN, Pa. June IA party of
nine experts under the direction of Super
intendent Gay, while exploring the Ner-
bon shaft yesterday morning to ascertain
the condition of its workings, were sur
prised to ind that twelve of the sixteen
mules that had been in the mine since
the fire Of nearly a month ago were still
alive. having been without food and water
twenty six days. Eleven of the mules
we're standing and one was lying down,
almost dead. Three of them were un
tied at the time of the fire, and had
found some hay and feed and were looking
well and fat. The unfortunate nine hav-
ing been tied, could not help themselves,
and are almost skeletons. The first food
offered them was hay, but this they re-
fused. Then a Cruel Of wheat, bran and
rye chopped thin and mixed with water
was given them and they seemed to relish
1t. They did not eat or drink raven
ously, however. as might have been ex-
pected under the circumstances.
