A Mormon Town Swept Away-IndIans
Reported Drowned Of
Mississippi Flood.

DENVER, March 1.-The Rocky Mountain
News yuma. Ariz., special says; Over 25O
houses are in ruins from the food, and
Loo people are homeless. Not single
business house remains standing, and it ia
feared that hundreds OF lives were lost in
the Gila valley. The river above the town
is seven miles wide, and below the town, in
places. the water covers the country in on o
grand lake over fifty miles across. The
town has provisions sufficient for eight days
more, and the Southern Pacific hotel is
feeding 1000 people a day. Reports from
Jakunee, fifteen miles above here, are to
the effect that the food drove the people into
tree tops and many became exhausted from
cold and hunger and dropped into the water
and were drowned.
Report from reliable sources put the loss
OF life in the valley anywhere from thirty
up to 100. All along the valley for 200
miles everything is desolation. Houses
and barns, stock and fences have been car
ried away by the food, leaving the country
as bare as desert. Eight miles south Of
here, where 5000 Cocopah Indians live
the country is flooded for eighty miles
square. As there are no hills for refuge, it
Is reported that over 100 of them have been
drowned. The great valley of the Colorado
is one vast sea of water. The loss in this
county foots up over $4,000
Old Yuma will probably never be rebuilt,
but the town will go higher up on the hills.

SENATOR HEARsTs FUNERAL.

The Body to be Taken to San Francisco
for Burial.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-The funeral SER
vices over the remains of Senator Hearst
will be held on Thursday at his late resi-
dence, and will be brief and simple. The
day of the funeral was delayed until Thurs
day SO as to enable members of the senate
and house who desire to attend to do so
without interfering with pressing business
that demands their attention during the
few remaining days of congress. On Thurs
day night or Friday morning-the exact
time not being determined upon as
yet-the body will be taken to
the railroad station, deposited in a private
car attached to the regular train and started
on the way to San Francisco, where the
burial will take place. Mrs. Hearst and
her son, and possibly some intimate friends
OF the family will accompany the body.
Many persons called at the house to-day to
express sympathy with the family, and tele-
grams of coincidence were received from
various sources. Vice. President Morton
was among those who called. The honorary
pail bearers have not yet been selected.

OBJECT TO THE DIVIDE.
The People Of the Flathead Country
Against Cutting Missoula In Two.

The People Of the Fiathead Country
Against Cutting Missouls In Two.
DEMERsvrLLE, Feb. 26.-[Special. IA
largely attended meeting Of the residents
of Flathead WAS held to-day in the court
house to take the sense of the people on the
house bill now before the legislature pro-
posing to divide up Missoula into two coun-
ties. The meeting was entirely opposed to
the hurried manner in which the bill had
been prepared and laid before the house
without consulting the residents of this
valley. After lengthy discussion and va
rious expressions of opinion, it was moved
and carried that it WAS the sense Of the
meeting that any action taken in the legis-
lature with regard to the division of Mis-
soula county, without consulting the inhab-
itants of this valley and giving them an
opportunity to express their views, is pre-
mature and entirely unwarranted. The
meeting, which was a long and lively one,
broke up in some disorder. From the spirit
of the meeting it was evident that some
private scheme was on foot, but the schem-
ers were disappointed. No doubt there
will need to be some division made in the
future, but the feeling is that this should
not be hastily done and without consulting
the wishes of all the residents.

Charles Hart's Desire to Go "One
Better on the Story Of
Crime.
It Results in His Being Held for
the McCarthysville
Murders
Jim Cum ings Proves an Abb and IN Let
Go st the Hearing ut De-
nersvilIe.

DgMxRsvrLLE, Feb. 26.-[Special. The
preliminary hearing Of the charge against
Charles Hart, alias Bond, alias Ford. and
Jim Cummings, for completely in the re-
cent murder Of two men and the wonnding
OF three others, at McCarthysville. was
completed yesterday. Cummings proved a
good and sufficient aIibi and was acquitted,
while Hart was held over for the grand
jury. The principal evidence against him
consisted OF n confession which it WAS al
laged he made to Hungarian fellow
workman in the neighborhood. This con-
fession was sworn TO by the Hungarian and
also by the deputy sheriffs who made the
arrest, to whom Hart admitted that he had
made such statement. When making his
deposition before the court, however, Hart
denied ever having made such confession.
The decision of Judge Shepherd seemed to
meet with the approval Of the audience.
as Hart is by no means prepossessing
character. The confession of Hart to the
Hungarian is alleged to have been made
from desire on his part to go "one BETTER
on n story Of murder which the Hungari-
an admitted having committed in the old
country.

One Of His Characteristic Speeches on
Landlords and Gladstone.
DUBLIN, March 1.-Replying to deputa-
tion at Drogheda to-day, Parnell said he
rejoiced at the proof of support accorded
him. On arriving at Navon, Parnell ad-
dressed a meeting in the square. He said
perhaps some day in the distant future
somebody would arise to address him-not
as men of royal Meath, but as men of re-
publican Meath. 1t was Meath which first
gave him the opportunity, sixteen years
ago, to serve Ireland in public life.
They had won hundred skirmishes
together, and now he wanted to be allowed
to win battle with them. Already they
had put snaffie in the mouth of the land
lords. Bye and bye, with parliament in
College Green, they would fit these same
mouths with bit and birdoon (cheers and
lauRhter). In conclusion Parnell expressed
the hope that his opponents would take
warning of the portents. The popular
storm was likely to sweep them away. In
stead of opposing the rally to his side, let
them free themselves from entanglements
and the English party alliance woven
around them by the grand old spider.''

Al the Other West India Islands to Take
Part In the Fair.
WASHINGTON, March Lit is learned from
Mr.. Curtis, Of the state department.. that
the captain general of Cuba has appointed
thirty commissioners to represent the island
at the Worlds fair, and to secure collec-
ton illustrating it's resources, products and
industries. The desire Of the people Of
Cuba. the report says. especially the sugar
and tobacco planters and the manufac-
turers, to promote their commercial rela-
tions with the United States, amounts
to an anxiety. 1t ia also learned
that the commercial organizations
OF the republic Of San Domingo have raised
purse to pay the salary and expenses Of
an envoy to Washington for the purpose Of
negotiating reciprocity treaty with the
United States. A similar spirit pervades
the entire group of West India colonies,
and will it is thought, stimulate their rep
resentation at the exposition. While in
Havana, Curtis secured for the historical
section OF the exposition plaster casts OF
the tomb of Columbus and the famous
statue of Columbus in chains.

Fears Of q Disastrous Flood from Mem
phis to New Orleans.
New ORLEANS, March 1.-Concerning the
condition of the levees and the uneasy feel
ing produced along the lower Mississippi
by the continued rising of the water, the
following information has been received.
A telegram from Capt. Lambert, for many
years editor of the Natchez Democrat says:
"The situation of river matters along the
lower Mississippi just now is quite critical.
While the water in sight does not appear to
be sufficient to cause the flood height at
tanned last year, yet the indications now
are for rains through a considerable portion
of the valley, and il they should occur, it
it is probable that the floods of last year
would be equalled the present season. The
levees are not really in so good condition as
they were at this time last year, and there
is constant fear of their giving away under
the pressure at many points along the line"
II. +. Reynolds, commercial agent of the
Louisville. New Orleans and Texas rail
road, said the present condition of the Mis-
sissippi river and tributaries threatens a
overflow from Memphis to New
Orleans The main river and its tributa-
ries are higher than this date last year.

NEWARK, N. j. March 1.-The celebrated
case of Mrs. Mary Dusen against Edward
Edmonds, one of her boarde.s, has just
been decided. Edmonds was CHARGED with
having conspired to ruin Mrs. Dusen's bus
iness. He placed a phonograph in the
kitchen to receive the utterances of Mrs.
Dusen when she discussed business in con-
nection with culinary matters. Mrs. Dusen
claimed that the disclosures made by the
phonograph had driven away all but two OF
her boarders. The faithful phonoGgaph
which had been placed in the kitchen re-
produced the observations of the boarding
house keeper in conversation with her cook,
and, when placed Oh the dining-room table.

Blauvelt maintained that the phonocraph
would not lie and dismissed the accused.
