THE YARRA OVERFLOWS.
Damage to the Amount of So, 900
from Too Much Water.

Damage to the Amount of 1000, 900
from Too Much Water.
SAN FRANcIsco, CAL, Aug. 6.-The
steamer Alameda, which arrived at San
Francisco on the 9Th, from Australia,
brings particulars of the overflow OF Its
banks by the River Yarra at Melbourne,
July II. Waters in the harbor rose
above the level of the surrounding
towns. and several small vessels were
wrecked The floods were the most
severe since 1862, and the course.
Of the Yarra River presented a scene OF
desolation for miles. FACTORIES along
the riverside were submerged, as were
also a great number Of houses on the
south side of the river in Torak. In
South Richmond, another suburb OF
Melbourne, whole streets were sub
merged and 1000 people were rendered
homeless. A relief fund was started
and soon reached the sum of So, 600.
The loss of life, it is believed, did not
exceed ten. Capt. Lancaster, and
sailor named Robertson, of the schoon-
er Nara, which was wrecked at Sor-
rento, were drowned, and fireman on
the deck of dredger, who attempted
to make the shore in small boat, was
also drowned A schooner, name I'M
known, disappeared off Sorrento, and,
it is believed, has been lost with all
hands. The steamer Bancoora went
ashore, and the bottom was stove IN.
In the plateau of the Danedenong range
an avalance of earth fifty acresin extent
swept down the mountain side, engulf-
ing residence there. The inmates es-
capped, except one woman, who had a
limb broken. The railroads were partly
washed out for twenty miles. A great
number of sheep were drowned. 1t is
estimated that the total loss will reach
50, 100000 At last advices the Murray
was rising, and floods in the Albury dis
trict were feared. Much sickness was
prevalent at Melbourne, attributable, to
exposure and to deposits of slime left
hu the floods

RUIN WROUGHT BY WIND.
Ashland and Washburn Swept by Severe
Tornado.

Ashland and Vashburn Swept by severe
Tornado.
An Ashland dispatch Of the Sth says:
cat 4 O'Clock this afternoon storm
cloud which came up from the west
broke over. Chequamegon Bay with DIS
astrous results. Rain fell in torrents, ac-
companied by wind blowing at tremen7
dous velocity. The roof was stripped
from the Fifeld block. The Swedish
Baptist Church was lifted four feet from
it's foundation and torn around, ana
numerous small buildings twisted about.
Ont at the bay front half dozen little
Yachts were moored. They all broke
away from their fastenings and we're
wrecked upon the shore. Among them
is handsome little Sheeny which won
the race week ago. The total damage
amounts to $4,000.
1.-The worst effects of the storm were
experienced at Washburn, on the oppo-
ing side Of the bay, and the busy mill
site town tonight is partial wreck A
small circus was giving an exhlbltlCn
when the storm struck the tent and 1T
collapsed. In the panic which ensued
two small boys were crushed to death
and a number of others serl-
ously injured. The post-otfice build
ing, frame structure OF Main
Street, in which were half dozen
persons, collapsed and caught the in
mates in what seemed to be a death
trap, but by the fortunate Judgment of
timbers they all escaped without injury,
except two women, one of whom sut-
fered broken leg and the other con-
fusion of the head. Half dozen other
buildings are badly damaged. The roof
of the Omaha elevator was lifted up and
dashed upon the bay, expos
ing the stock of wheat to the
rain. The derricks and hosting engines
at the coal dock were blown over and
ruined and many thousands feet of lum-
Der piled in the yards of the Bigelow
mills were blown into the water Sew
eral sail boats are reported lost on
Chequamegon Bay, but reports are not
verified, and until the full extent of the
storm is known the damage to marine
interests cannot be computed. The
loss at Washburn is very large, prob
ablv 50.00O.'

Kentucky's Election.

The latest returns show that the Ken
lucky Democratic state ticket was sue
cesstul by about $4,000. Eighty out of
l19 counties gave Brown, Dem, net
plurality of 27,707. The remaining
counties in 1887 gave a net Republican
plurality of 1850. The Peoples state
ticket will probably not show so heavy
a vote as estimated. So far as reported
the Alliance has elected its candidates
against Democrats or Republicans IN
ten districts. Near Mount Vernon,
John Mullins, an election officer, was
killed by Jones Durham and VIM.

aspect and attack the heart. For the
moment he is quite unable to undertake
any work, and it is thought his stay at
Kiel may benefit him if lie keeps to the
regime laid down. But they fear that
his ardent temperament will not resign
itselfto enforced repose.
There is much anxiety as to the con-
dition of the Emperor, and uneasiness
is felt as to what will be the outcome
should his disease have fatal ending.
These thoughts are all the more reason
able as the Emperor does not husband
his resources and will surely continue
his series of fatiguing journeys and duties
as soon as the first sign of Improvement
begins to be felt
eff William II. were to die" said
Herr Miguel, German minister of
inancG Germany would be in a most
unenlSble position. The crown would
revert to child years old, and the ma
ton would have to appoint as Regent
Prince Henry of Prussia, the Emperor's
brother; but Prince Henry is sailor
and his friends are only sailors, scarcely
known to the public. His hand could
not for moment hold the name of the
German lion.'
His reply to some one who mentioned
the name of Bismarck was: 'How little
is known of the real Bismarck. To re-
call him to Berlin would be simple
madness. Bismarck is in truth old, and
the deprivation of power has broken
ined a more painful position than his
present one. Speaking less than ever,
flying into a passion at the veriest trihes,
and making life unbearable Ito those
around him, Bismarck is done. And it
is not on him that we must count here
after in our hours of trial. The worst
of it is that it is almost impossible to say
on whom we can count in such case,
and, further, it is precisely this which
makes the present position of the EN-
pire SO precarlOus."
Others say that in the event of Henry
If Prussia becoming regent his first
step would be to reinstate Prince Bis
marck in the chancellorship-in fact,
Prince Henry is one of the most ardent
admirers of the exChancellor.
Bismarck's first act would be to
bring about a reconciliation between
Germany and Russia On the other
hand he would take strong measures to
revive the law against Socialists, and
he is hardly the man who would in any
way diminish the present martial law
that weighs down the people of Alsace
and Lorraine.
1t is an absolute fact that the EN-
peror cried with pain when he was
moved, that his ear trouble is increas-
ing and causes frequent epileptic fits,
which are recurring at shorter intervals
and with greater intensity than ever
before, so that the most serious appre-
tensions are entertained as to the re-
suit throughout the German Empire.

THE BOTTOM DROPPING OUT.

A District in Pennsylvania Where the
Mines are Gazing in.
It is a queer place to live in where
you are liable to wake up in the morn
ing and find that your cellar has disap
peared and that the bottom has drop
ped out of your we'll. That is ust what
happened at Larksville, Pa, and while
it doesn't surprise any of the residents
it makes it very inconvenient for
them. There is but one we'll left
in the town with bottom in it, and
water famine has been prevented by
the putting up of reservoir in which
to collect supply. w. J. Thomas,
whose farm is near town, heard great
squealing among his pigs, and going out
he found that dozen or more of them
were struggling to get out of deep ifs
sure in the earth which was not
way i'll, but was wide enough to
hold them where they had fallen.
If the fissure had been a foot or so
wider the pigs would have disappeared
as effectua1ly in the depths of the earth
as the cellars and the we'll bottoms have
during the past two weeks. Farmer
Thomas found his fences half way down
in the ground, too, and big patch of
cabbage invisible. His house was also
much awry, having sunk several inches.
The cause of this peculiar situation at
Larksvilfe is that No. colliery of the
Kingston Coal Company has been
working, SO netting that good many
miners have been unable to do to much
advantage for some time. This means
that the roof of the colliery has been
sinking and falling in, because proper
support lad been taken from
it down in the mines. Larks-
vile is built directly over
the mines, and it is in these depths
where the cellars and we'll bottoms
have gone, and Farmer Thomas pigs
would have gone, if the crack in the
mine roof at that place had been little
wider.
The roof has been propped by tim
bers, but once in a while these supports
are crushed like pipe stems and fly into
splinters. Men have been working
night and day in staying the root, and
now people in Larksville think they
may safely dig some new wells and cell
lars

"ME AND MY PEOPLE"
Queen Victoria Closes the Session of Par
Lament.

Parliament was prorogued on the 9Th
to October f. The Queens speech clos
ing the session, after abiding to the
amicable relations existing between
Great Britain and the other powers,
made brief reference to the treaties
that had been concluded with Port
ugal regarding territory in Africa.
Continuing, she said: 81 have
made proposals to the President
of the United States looking
to the submission to arbitration of the
difference between Great Britain and
the United States in regard to seal fish
cry in Behring Sea. The negotiations
are far advanced, but have not yet been
concluded. The French Chambers have
not yet approved the agreement be-
tween myself and the French Republic
with reference to the arbitration of GER
tain differences which have arisen con-
corning newfoundland, which agree
ment was signed during the present
year.
81 am glad that you have been able
to devote a considerable sum of money
the law of compulsory education has
imposed upon the poorer portion of nv
people.
Luz Various uISdSuIGS WHICH, you
have adopted in recent years to secure
the observance of the law in Ireland.
and to improve the general condition of
the country, have resulted in marked
abatement of agrarian offe nses, and in q
considerable advance in prosperity.
The steps taken to cope with the dis
tress threatened in Ireland have been
effectual to avert famine.
"You have also passed beneficiary
measure dealing permanently with the
consested districts of Ireland, which, it
is hoped, will, by fostering agriculture
and stimulating the fishing industry,
contribute largely to the prevention of
similar dangers in the future.
The measures which you have passed
for the improvement of land; with re-
spect to factories, workshops and saw
ings banks and for the preservation of
the public health, will, am convinced,
conduce to the comfort and being

Hot Fight With Burglars.

New RICHMOND, Wis, Aug. 10.-Yes-
terdav morning just before clock, it
was discovered that burglars were rob-
bing C. H. Todd's jewelry store.
Policeman Waltonberg, in attempt
ing to arrest them, was shot at by
one OF them FIVE or six times, one
shot taking effect in his left arm. His
own gun failing to go off, he plucklly
followed them as they retreated toward
the Omaha depot, where train was
due in few, moments, and kept
them from boarding the train. In the
meantime ageneral alarm was sounded,
and it became so hot for the thieves
that they dropped all their booty and
finally escaped to cover.

EMPEROR IS VERY ILL.
His Condition Causes Great Alarm III
Germany-Unable to Leave
His Yacht.

BERLIN, Aug. 10.-The Kaiser arrived
Yesterday at Klel on board the Hohen-
zollern, which at present he is unable
to leave. The Emperor's condition is
much more grave than has been admit
ted, for not only does he suffer from his
knee Joint and his ear trouble, but ter
riblv severe rheumatic pains absolutely
nail him down to his chair, and will
compel him to remain utterly inactive
tor at least a fortnight without the least
prospect of stirring.
The doctors while stating that the
alarming news which has been clrcu-
lated is exaggerated, say if the Emperor
continues to refuse to submit himself to
the treatment prescribed, the rheuma-
tism must soon assume more serious

Their Title Established.

A decision was made in the United
States court at Cincinnati on the 4th
affecting the title to 100 acres of ground
on Price Hill in that city, SO that the
owners who have built on it will have to
pay in the aggregate $1,600,O00 to be-
come owners Of the lands they occupy.
More than 100 heirs, scattered all over
the United States, have had their claim
to this land established by the decision.
The transaction that invalidates the
title dates back fifty years. In the sale
of the land by Samuel Barr, according
to the decision, the provisions of the
will of William Barr, ST., who died in
1916, were violated to the detriment Of
other heirs, whose descendants are
plaintiffs in the case.

Vast Populations in India Suffering from
Famine.

Vast Populations in India Suffering from
Famine.
MADRAS, Aug, 6.-Though the mon
soon set in some time ago in some parts
of India, dispelling all fears Of a failure
of the crops in that portion OF the
country where the rains had fallen,
there has been no rainfall in the
Chlngleput and North Arcot districts
in the presidency of Madras, and
all hopes of averting famine have
been abandoned. The heat is unprece-
dented. The standing grain and other
crops have succumbed to the long
drouth and all are withered and
burned. Already the effects of the
scarcity of food are being felt, and there
is great suffering among the inhabitants
of the districts. Many deaths from
starvation have been reported. 1t IS
also impossible to get food for the cattle,
the pasture lands being devoid of
have dried up, rendering it impossible
to get water for them. Horses, COWS,
donkeys and other live stock are dying
in large numbers everywhere in the dis
tricts. 1t is not only the poorer classes
of the population that are suffering from
the scarcity Of food. Many natives of
the high castles are making application
to the authorities for relief to keep
themselves and their families from star
walton.
The district of Chingleput contains an
area of 2,753 square miles, and, accord
ing to the figures of the latest census
obtainable, that of 1871 has 93S, 1874 per-
sons. North Arcot contains Is, 146
square miles within it's boundaries, and
the population is placed at over 2,OO0,-

than they have for many years before,
says q Findlay Co. dispatch Of the 10th.
They have eaten up and entirely de-
stroyed the cloverseed crop and
are devouring the pasture to
such an extent as to render the
feed of stock serious problem
for the farmers. They are causing Sc
rious annoyance in the wheat fields by
eating the Irvine that binds the sheaves,
causing the shocks to fall in confusion.
They are invading the corn fields and
eating the leaves off the stalks and the
husks from the ears. Young fruit trees
are also being seriously endangered by
