FLOOD AND WRECK.
A Chesapeake & Ohio Train
Runs Into a Washout.
Three Trainmen Buried Be-
meath the Wreck.
Serious Railway Accident at
Newbury, 0.

LOUISVILLE, June I3.-At Bull creek,
six miles above Maysville, last night there
was a cloud burst. The creek rose sud
denly and swept away several dwelling
houses and occupants. A stone culyert
on the Chesapeake & Ohio was washed
out. While the storm was at its height a
freight train ran into the washout causing
a fearful wreck. Engineer @. G. Road
cay, Fireman Morris Honaker and
Brakeman Charles Eaton were buried be-
meath the wreck. The bodies have not
yet been recovered. A dozen persons
living on the banks of Bull creek ale re-
we're found, John RuRgler, fisherman;
Lucy p. Estler, widow, two daughters,
Bette and Julia, and two sons.
A little later a mixed passenger train
would have passed over the fatal culvert
where the freight train went down, when
the loss of life would have been appalling.
Clouds suddenly bursting caused a rapid
rise in the creek. Farmers say the creek
rose two feet per minute and the water
looked like a wall twenty-five feet high
when it got to the railroad fill. Twins
portable sawmill was lifted from its fast
enings and with ove 100 big logs hurled
violently against the railroad stone cul-
vert. This is what probably caused it to
give way. The creek raised two feet
higher than it has been in forty years.
The fury of the storm caused many per-
sons on Bull creek to abandon their homes
and take to the hills, else the loss of lite
would have been greater. The storm
did much damage to buildings, fences and
crops in that portion of the country.
Some half dozen persons are yet missing.
but it is believed they will turn up all
right.

CHICAGO STOCK YARDS.
Suit Commenced to Prevent
the Proposed Sale.
Civil Service Commissioner
Lyman Censured.
A Pittsburg Priest and His
Wonderful Powers.
A Big Law Suit.

CHICAGO, June l3.-As anticipated a
law suit to prevent the c~onsummation of
the proposed $50, OOO. 900 sale of the I'm
ION stock yards to an English syndicate
was commenced before Judge Tuley this
afternoon. Decidedly sensational charges
are made and the court is asked to re-
move the present officers of the corpora :
ton, appoint a receiver and Issue an injunc-
ton restraining the proposed issue OF
bonds and sale of the plant and stock. The
complainant in the bill is Frank X. Ba
ker, a dealer at the yards aud owner OF
owe $50 shares of the capital stock. DE
makes the defendant Nathaniel Thayer of
Boston. the company's president; John
b. Sherman, general manager; Geo. i.
William, secretary and treasurer; j, q.
Dennison. assistant secretary, and six OF
the best known railroad magnates in the
Hugitt. J.. M. Mccullough. j. C.McMul-
vestant Fish, directors of the Union
Stock Yards and Transit company.
The other defendants are Russell Monroe
and Richard Olney, promoters of the en-
terprise to buy the yards; the London
Contract company to whom IL is
proposed to make the sale. the Central
Trust company of New York, to which
the mortgage vas to be given, and Cor
nelius Vanderbilt, John X. Hoxie of
Texas and James III. Ashley, who, with
President Thsyer and Manager Sherman.
own a majority of the stock. The bill
charges that the defendants are inspired
with the sole intention of selling the
property for a little over half its actual
value; that they then propose todepreciste
the value of the stock and run the property
value down until it reaches the minimum:
then, when The small stockholders are
frozen out, the ~manipulators intend to
buy the plant and good will in for com
paratively a mere song.
Baker asserts the stock is :ntrinsically
and actually worth 5000 per
share, whereas it is proposed to
sell to the syndicate for $3.50
per share. Other points made
in the bill are that the purchasing COM
pany. the London Contract company and
the Central Trust company, are alien cor
poratious, over which the courts here can
have no jurisdiction. and, furthermore,
being British corporations, they have no
community of interest with the Western
stockholders. etc. Judge Tulley referred
the matter to a master in chancery for
hearing.

New YORK, June l3.-The Harlem
Republican club, of which o. B. Humph-

League, Is head man, had elected .Presi.
dent Harrison, Warner Miller and Others
to honorary membership. and it occurred
to Vice President Winsor that it would
be the proper thing to confer the same
honor on his friend Thomas G. Plat.
The committee on membership reported
favorably on MIR. Platt's name, together
with the names OF two others who were
up for regular membership. The others
were elected, but Plat was blackballed in
spite OF the fact that it requires one vote
in five to reject. Mr.. Platt's attack on
the New York worlds fair project is be-
lieyed to have been the cause Of the at
tack on him.

WASHINGTON, June l3.-lhe house
committee on reform in the civil service,
which conducted the investigation into
the charges against the civil service com
mission, held a meeting today and agreed
ppo9 Esaolt The cG.%;s.-~
welt and Thomson discharged their du-
ties with entire fidelity and integrity;
second, the official conduct OF Commits
sloner Lyman has been characterized by
laxity of discipline in the administration
of the affairs of the commission and there
fore censurable. Your committee will at
once investigate the workings OF the sys-
tenn and present a subsequent Dor when
the investigation is completed.
Regarding the case of Alexander Camp
bell, Commissioner Lyman's brother-in-
low, the committee says it was clear that
Campbell copied the questions furnished
Flynn, who gave Instructions to persons
desiring examinations, and that the
Questions were not obsolete. Campbell
should have been dismissed. His reten-
ton indicated gross laxity in discipline
and his promotion would seem not to
have been defensible. The committee
cannot accept as satisfactory the answers
Of Messrs. Oberly, Lyman and Doyle
that they believed the questions obsolete.
The omission to ascertain the truth was
as reprehensible as to have disregarded
1t after it bad been ascertained. The COM
mittee does not share in the opinion that
Commissioner Roosevelt and Thompson
are deserving of censure for not having
taken action in the Campbell case when
their attention was callei to it as there was
a concurrcncy of statement to them that
tho mattnr had han tnlt,r in yaai,atJ
and in not taking further action the CON-
mittee think, they were thoroughly justi-
fed.
Respecting the course of the commits
sionIn the cise of Shidy, the Milwaukee
postofice employe who was discharged by
K -Postmaster Paul for exposing frauds,
the committee says it was apparent to the
commission that Shidy was being pun
ished tor disclosing the truth, and they
felt it their duty to aid him by their in
tiuence in securing employment, and
thereupon recommended him for appoint
ment in the census office. The committee
is unable to find anything to criticize in
that behalf.
The investigation into the alleged irreg-
n~larities in the Milwaukee post office,
conducted by Doyle and Webs'er. dis
closing another disregard of the civil SER
vice law in that officers failure to submit
the result OF that investigation to the
president indicates either a dissemination
to discharge an obvious duty, or fear that
such report would subject the commission

the commission by the appointment OF
Roosevelt and Thompson an investiga.
ton into the abuses and irregularities OIL
the Milwaukee post office was had at
once. 1t is learned that Alex. Campbell
has resigned his position as clerk to the

PTTTsBURG, June ia sensation
was created in this portion of Pennsyl-
vania today by the decision of an Arm
strong county Judge in an original pack
age case. A short time ago Chas. Silver
man opened an original package store in
Leechbury, a local prohibition town. He
acted as agent for a Cincinnati brewing
company and disposed of a large quantity
of beer. Silverman was promptly ar
rested and the trial came oil before Judge
Rayburn at Kittanning today. The
Temperance people asserted that Silver
man violated the law by selling liquor
without a license, also that he sold to
minors and to men of Incorporate habits.
Silverman who had sold only in kegs,
half barrels and barrels, set up the
original package decision in defense, and
proved that he had not sold TO minors.
Judge Rayburn, in his charge to the
jury, refused to consider evidence in re-
gard to the violation OF the local prohibit
tory law, saying that the question for the
Jury to decree was whether the packages
were the identical and unbroken packages
shipped from Ohio. If SO, then Silver
man had q right to make sale according
to the supreme courts decision. If
found guilty of selling to minors and it
temperate men that offense would come
under the state police regulations, for
while the state might not prohibit the
sale of original packages. it could protect
its citizens.
The jury acquitted Silverman of the
charge of selling without a license and 10
minors, but found him guilty of selling
to persons of known intemperaoe habits.
The liquor people, who have been in a
hopeless minority in Armstrong county,
are jubilant and they say original pack
ages can now food every town in the
state, and the high license paid by local
dealers is practically money thrown away.

WASHINGTON, June ia resolution

The silver bill was taken up and Nor
gan resumed the floor. but suggested that
the time OF the senator's in the discussion
of amendments latter the close of the

from FIVE minutes to ten or fifteen.
Jones of Nevada, in charge of the bill,
thought it might be better, as several
senators still desired to speak on the sub
ject, to extend the time tor general de
bate until 3 O'Clock Monday. He asked
unanimous consent for the proposition
Teller suggested that Morgan go on

doubt. would be extended. Morgan,
therefore, went on with his speech, which
was mainly an argument tor free coinage.
Aldiich next addressed the senate. He
recognized the disastrous effects resulting
from the contraction of currency. but
said abnormal initiation would be equally
injurious. A complete remedy could
only be found in such action as would
open the mints of all nations to the free

under the law OF 1878 gold was today a
not. Congress could not make it DO.
That had to be done By the concurrent
action OF all the great countries and until
that action took place there could be no
equality between the two metals.
Stewart took the floor TO reply to some
Of Aldrich's statements. He said if the
secretary of the treasury bought 8 ,000,-
QUO of silver a month, instead of 80. 000,-
600, we not only would have a double
standard. but silver would be on a parity
with gold. Responding to a question by
Blair, Stewart said the present law, if ex
ecuted to its maximum, would be better
than any of the present measures.
Platt said if Stewart believed that and
it was correct, it seemed to him that it
was ground on which all might meet to-
gether.
Stewart replied that it was his belief,
and concluded by say ing COMPRESS should
either take a step in advance or do moth
ing.
Reagan and Daniel also spoke in favor
Of the unlimited coinage of silver. Dan
iel said if that was not to be the final
solution of the question it was an essential
step toward its solution. 1t could not be
anticipated. he said, that anything less
than the free coinage of silver would
bring it to par. Without concluding his
speech, Daniel called for a motion to 90
into executive session, and the senate soon
adjourned.

WASHINGTON, June l3.-The house
went into committee of the whole on the
sundry civil bill. Cannon said the appro-
priation carried by the measure wa $2S,-
O0O,O O0, $40. 900, 900 less than the regular
estimate, and sl3. ZOO. 900 less bar the
regular and special estimates. The sun
dry civil bill for the current year provided
for the expenditure of SIS, 600. 900. The
apparent excess in this bill was more than
accounted for by certain extraordinary
items. The fourteen regular appropria-
ton bills reported tn the horss .s@-ees,a
S3U6, 0OU,U00, showing an excess of S35,
100000 over the appropriations for the
current year. THIS excess was nearly all
accounted for in three bills pension,
$l8, 0O0, 900: postofices, Sl2, 000, 900. and
naval. 81, 100, 900. The other So. 900. 900
resulted from expansion incident to the
growth OF the country. The only bill not
reported to the house is the general de-
6ciency bill and this would be reported
before the close of the fiscal year. There
are pending the sundry civil and indian
bills In the senate. The house committee
OF appropriations has the agricultural
diplomatic and postofice bills. and the
senate committee on commerce, the river
aud harbor bills. Pending IN the senate
is the legislative bill. The forlifcstion
bill has passed both houses; District of
Columbia, naval and pension bills are in
conference. and the army and military
academy bills are IN tie hands OF the
president. This was a fsyorble showing
compared with the condition of the bills
two years ago. The following amend
ments we're adopted: Appropriating
$50, 900 for public buildings at Cedar
Rapids, Iowa; $40. 900 Tor an elevator in
the public building at Peoria.
