Great Damage Caused by the Over
flow of the Red River in
Texas.
Many Persons are Missing and over
100000 Worth of Property
Destroyed.
A New York Family Cremated in q
Tenement House-Two Boys
Drowned in st. Paul.

ARKANSAS CITY, Kan, June ia
gentleman who has just arrived here
from Greer county in the extreme south
west part of the Indian territory, re-
ports that the Red river and its north
fork have been out of their banks for
over a week, completely hemming the
people in and cutting off all communi-
cation with the outside world. The
rainfall there has been simply terrible,
and the people are suffering every
where. One half the wheat crop has
been entirely ruined and corn and oats
are nearly all killed.
A cloudburst inundated the little
town of Frazer, running every mer-
chants stock of goods and compelling
the people to flee for their lives. Two
persons were drowned in the town and
three in the country. Along Turkey
creek and Salt fork a dozen or more
houses were washed away.
"A Mr.. Phillips and daughter-in-law
hoated a mile on a portion of their
house and were finally washed ashore.
Mrs. Phillips and little daughter grasped
the limbs of a tree and hung there until
morning, when they were rescued with
a raft, the water being twenty feet deep
under the tree. The foundations Of
many houses were washed away. Hun
dreds of people are living out of doors
on high land paying for the floods to
recede. The damage done in that
county alone will exceed $500, 900.

SOUTH CAROLINA JUSTICE,

Another Illustration of the Impossibility
of Convicting White Men of Murder.
COLUMBIA, S. c., June l5.-The fact
that it was very difficult to find a South
Carolina jury which will convic: a
white man of murder was again strik-
ingly illustrated when R. T. Jones, the
famous Edgefeld county family exter-
minator," was found guilty Of man
slaughtea in the Lexington county
court. Six years ago Jones brutally
and in cold blood murdered three of his
kinsman-Edward Presley. aged 70, and
his two sons, Edward and Charles. He
shot and cut them to death because
they were planting a piece of land con
corning the title to which Jones and the
Presleys had had a dispute. Previous
to the trial just ended Jones was tried
five times for his triple crime in Edge
field county, the jury in each instance
failing to agree, in spite of the fact that
the evidence against him is overwhelm-
ing. Jones will probably be given
thirty years in the p~enitentiary, but de-
clares he will poison himself before he
will &C there.

Il BIG FAILURE.
The London & Liverpool Clothing Com

The London & Liverpool Clothing Com
:pany of New York Goes to the Wall.
New YORK, June 12.-The London &
Liverpool Clothing company at Nos. 86
and 8S Bowery, and Mack & Co., cloth.
ing dealers at Nos. 1853 to 467 Broadway,
failed to-day. Both concerns we're
owned by the same parties, Isidor Rosen-
helm and Isaac S. Mack, the partnership
of the Bowery store lying under the style
of Isador Rosenheim & Co., and the
Broadway store as Mack & Co. Rosen-
helm and Mack made a general assign
ment, without preference, to Lewis
Horntheie. Tue firm claimed a capital
of about 100000 and carried an average
stock of about 100000 in the Bowery
store, where sales amounted to about
$5O0,O00 a year. They we're reported to
have lost $35,000 by the failure of F.
Mayer & Co., in 1883 through endorse
ments. Mack does not think the liabili-
ties will exceed $250.O00 to $275,O00, the
greater part of which was for merchan-
dise-about 10 per cent. to merchants of
this country.

Perry; superintendent of public in
struction, Mrs. NJ. H. Durham, Bur
lington; railroad commissioner, G. F.

PHILANTHROPlSTS ASK WHY
h United States Doesn't Signify Adhe-
sion to the Congo Treaty.

The United States Doesn't Signify Adhe-
sion to the Congo Treaty.
WASHINGTON, June ia number of
inquiries have been received at the state
department from philanthropic organi-
cations and individuals as to the failure
of the United States government to sig
nifty its adhesion to the Congo treaty,
the final ratification of which must be
exchanged before the end of the month.
This treaty is AL agreement to suppress
slave trade, the sale of breech loading
firearms and intoxicants in the Congo
district, Equatorial Africa, and nearly
all the great powers of the world. have
Joined in accepting its obligations.
The state department had replied to
this inquiry that the subject is still un-
der consideration by the United States
senate in executive session, and the de-
partment does not feel at liberty to dis
cuss the matter generally, but that it is
proper to say as a result of correspond
ence that it is not improbable that the
treaty will 60 into effect at the appointed
time in respect to all of the signatories
except the United States and that it
will be left open to this government to
give its adhesion hereafter. The de-
partment has been working to this end,
and the senate having failed to take
definite action, that was all hat could
be done pending further action by the
senate. This treaty was negotiated at
Brussels and a representative of the
United States government assisted in
its preparation. It was laid before the
senate toward the close of the last con-
gress for approval, and an executive
communication called attention to the
necessity for speedy action. After a
long debate in executive session the
treaty was rejected, but as a motion tc
reconsider was entered, the matter il
still pending.

Dun's Trade Review.

New YORK, June 12.-R. G.. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade will say:
Very rarely has such a strain been put
upon the productive industry and legiti-
mate business as by the enormous ex-
ports OF gold in May. It is a most signifi-
cant fact that after this severe test the
state of trade is better for the season and
more hopeful than it was in April, when
the great movement of gold had not be-
gun. Within thirty days the largest crop
OF wheat ever grown, it is probable, will
be moving to market.
