WORK OF TIL DELUGE.
"A House and Contents Go Into the River
at HOniphan Point.

ATCHIsoN. Kan, Jnne 30. The house
of Pleasant Little on Doniphan point
went into the river with its contents yes
terday afternoon. The house was occu-
pied by John Mcqueen and his family,
Little going with them. They had va
Gated the house before it fell, taking
refuge on the main land. This morning
the house was found landed on the gov
eminent dikes at east Atchinson. Little
escaped from the point with McQueen's
family but he has not been seen since
and it is feared that he returned to the
house and was lost with it.
Two other families living on the point
Mrs. j. NJ. Perkins and Jacob Koch's-
also sought safety on the main land yes
terday. They left behind all their pos
sessions including 100 head of stock that
will perish if the river carries away the
point as the current is toe swift for them
to swim ashore. The neck across which
the water flows is about 80 yards WIDE
and the stream is about lON yards wide.
Around the island thus formed it is
seven miles. The current across the
neck is about four feet deep. The cur-
rent has not yet cut through The "gumbo."
AS long as this tough crust stands the
point is safe, but should the current cut
through the a"lluvial soil below it would
be only a matter of a few hours until the
the great volume Of the river would be
passing through the new channel.
Between .Atchison and Nashville the
Hannibal & st. Joe and Kansas City st.
Joe and Council Bluffs tracks are
covered with water in several places.
The Hannibal tracks are not safe TO use
and Kansas City people will have to
abandon the cars if the situation grows
any worse. Between Rushyille and the
river not less than twenty-five farm
houses are surrounded by water and
farmers are out in boats trying to rescue
shocks of wheat that are yet above
water.

from Mrs. Frank Brown. After supper there
was much merry making. Altogether it was
one of the most delightful home weddings ever
witnessed in this county, and so pleasant was
the company, and so kind the treatment OF
Mr. and Mrs. Pillinger, that even the good
old parson tarried till the wee small hours.

On Saturday evening, May 23d, 1891, as
Mr.. George C. Stansbury, of near Manches-
ter, was returning home from that town he
discovered on nearing his home that his
dwelling was almost surrounded by vehicles,
and on entering his yard he was met by his
little grandson, who asked him to come into
the parlor, where vocal and instrumental
music were in progress, and where he met
his children and a number of other persons.
After very pleasant social chat the doors to
the dining room were thrown open, where a
large table was beautifully decorated with
bouquets of rare flowers and laden with all
the delicacies of the season, including the
most delicious spring chicken. Mr.. STAINS
bury, as usual, took the head of the table.
Being already surprised he was completely
so in discovering under his plate pair of
very fine gold spectaces, with note contain.

After supper the party again returned to
the parlor, where the remainder of the even

late hour the party babe the family good
night and went home, no doubt to dream OF
the pleasant afternoon and evening they had
spent together, and the mastery way Miss
Susie entertained her company.
