tion Of country between Helena and Arsan-
sas City, which is practically surrounded by
the Mississippi and White rivers, Is to the
effect that the people there are in adeplora-
bic condition and suffering The wafer
poured over the levees on all sidea, and IN
three hours the circle was filed even with
the surface Of the rivers, the water averag-
ing eight feet deep This occurred so sud-
denly that the people had no time 10 do any
thing. Their houses. stock and everything
else they owned were in the water. and in
some cases swept away before they had re-
allied what had happened
Driven 10 the Roofs.
The citizens Of Helena sent the steamer
Houston Coombs down there as the reii,e
boat to aid the people correspondent on
board writes that when the steamer arrived
| at the circle a number Of houses we're found
70 have been blown off their blocks or stills.
and others were badly earesned over into
the water People had been living in the
lofts Of some Of the low houses and when
these careened they could only escape by
knocking holes in the roof.

Several people were blown into tho water
and swan to trees, where they remained all
night aud number Of cattle we're blown
from the leyees and drowned. Men wons
over the whole circle in skiffs and trans

ginhouses, which are generally large and
substantial buildings.
All these houses are now packed with
people, 200 persons being in some OF them.

A CHARGE OF sWINDLING.


Devious Business Methods OF n Police
Court Hsnger-On.
The brilliant galaxy of police court prac
titioners infesting the old City Hall will
shortly, ii appearances go for anything, be
shorn of one of IFS most glittering stars,
should the charges brought by Mrs. Lena
Martin AGAINST that particular planet, Ed
ward Hartog, be substantiated.
On Monday last MIS-. Martin, who is a
widow residing at Oh Sacramento street
and who makes her living by dreSsmaking,
was arrested on charge OF petty larceny.
Hartog rushed into the old City Hall prison
soon after her arrest, and on his representa-
ton that he is recognized police court
practitioner obtained $50 from her to defend
her. A little later OH he again visited her
and offered to secure a dismissal of the
charge if she gave him SO more.
Mrs. Martin drew this amount from the
French Savings Bank and gave it into the
hands of Hartog. An hour or two after she
had parted with her money she discovered
that the charge of petty larceny against her
had been dismissed for lack of prosecution.
She demanded the return of her money
from Hartog, who only laughed at her, but
through some incOnceivable breach OF
etiquette offered to return so out OF the $40.
She refused TO accept this partial reStitu-
ton and laid her version Of the transaction
before the police authorities. The chances
are that a warrant for the arrest of Hartog
for obtaining money by false pretenses will
be issued tomorrow by Police Judge Joach-
imStn. Chief of Police Crowley is exceed
ingly incenSed over Hartog'S way of doing
business and stated yesterday that he would
take full care that Hartog should be prose-
cuted to the limit of the law.

Failure of an Old and Reliable Cigar
Firm.
Eisenberg Bros, cigar manufacturers at
AIS Battery street, filed petition in insol-
yency in the Superior Court yesterday.
Their Indebtedness amounts TO S32,915 "A.
the largest creditors being Esberg, Bach
man & Co., S11, 524 80; f. Korbel Bros,
1898 rs; E. Goshurke & Co., S1264 50; Cuban
Cigar Company, S8l6 81; Empire Company,

and American Bank, S2500; Lichensteln
Bros. & Co. Of New York, Sl966 So; Joel Ell
linger 81 Co., also of New York, 1882 70.
The assets of the firm consist of stock in
trade. 5000, and outstanding accounts, So
6S7 A. The firm has been engaged In the
same business in this city since 1865.
This proceeding was decided upon several
DAYS ago, and Mir. Rothschild, of Esberg,
Bachman 81 Co., was appointed assignee.
The London, Paris and American Bank has
sued out attachments against the residences
of the two Esenberg brothers. One Is on
the south line of California, 204 feet west of
Van Ness, and stands on a lot 30X137 IS. The
other piece is 30x120, north side of Suffer,
100 east of Cough. These are attached for
$500 each. Both pieces OF property are
held by the wives of both brothers, who
claim them as separate and not community
properties.
The credit of this firm was always good,
and it is said that it could have borrowed
$4,000 OF its bankers on the day before its
failure, if it had SO desired. The inability
to collect from interior customers, against
whom bills are neld to the amount of $3.50
is given as the chief cause OF failure.

One OF the Oueer Methods OF the "Ex-
nminer" People.
During the examination of William M.
Nelson on charge of libel there was
brought to light one of the very peculiar
methods of the Examiner to impose upon
the public.
While Judge Murphy was on the witness
stand under cross-examination by the ac-
cised lie was asked:
"Is this your Signature to an article which
appeared in the Examiner Of last Sunday ?"
Judge Murphy-It is facsimile.
did you write this article?" asked the
defendant.
Judge Murphy-No, sir.
The witness went on to explain that man
called at his house and stated that he was a
reporter Of the Examiner AS it was din
ner time he was asked to dine. He ac-
cepted. After dinner they chatted together,
and at the conclusion Of their chat he asked
me for my autograph, which l gave
him on card. This autograph appeared Mt
the foot of an article last Sunday in the En-
dnliner, not all of which was as l stated. but
he took some of my ideas and filled in his
own ideas.
At this Mr.. Nelson called the attention
of the Court to the fact that an article had
been published in the Examiner, which
printed at the head of its columns that IL has
circulation Of $3.50, which he knew was
81, 900 more copies than its actual circulation,
with the wit5ess' signature attached, which
is fraud, and he wanted the public to know
that article Is n frand, because Judge Muir
ply swears he did not write it, n0twithstand-
ing his signature Is attached to it.
