PITTsBURG, June 20.-A cloudburst at
Leechburg, thirty miles from this city,
on the West Pennsylvania railroad,
Thursday night, destroyed mugh prop
erty and fatally injured one man.
At O'clock the heavens grew black,
the flashes of lightning fiercely sharp,
and the peals of thunder shook the
houses to their foundations. just out
side of Leechburg is a deep ravine,
through which Anderson's run flows.
A collection Of houses on either side oc-
cupied by about two hundred people
and known as Georgetown.
Suddenly the rain poured down in tor
rents. The streets of Leechburg flowed
like rivers, while down Anderson's run
the water poured in huge waves, carry
ing before it fifteen dwellings and many
outbuildings, stables, fences, etc, were
carried away and jammed against the
railroad bridge at the foot of the run.
which, unable to stand the terrific pres

Many persons fed to the hills. John
Frank fell from the bridge as it went
down and was fatally injured. The
damage to property will be very heavy

New YORK, June 20.-The steamship
South Portland arrived here from jana
ica ports Thursday afternoon. Chief
Mate j. B. Lowell told the following
tale:
On the afternoon of June 10 the Port
land touched at Port Marie. Mate
Lowell was sent on shore to get the
mails. On his way to the postoffice he
came across crowd of blacks ON the
village green. There must have been at
least five hundred of them, and when
Mr.. Lowell inquired what the row was
about, they informed him that a battle
royal was just about TO begin. Four
coolies, all natives of the town, had be-
come involved in a sort of Montague
Capulet controversy, and each of them
had arrived at the conclusion that Port
Marie and this planet generally was
altogether too good place to harbor
the other three any longer. So they had
mutually decided to fight to the death.
In the center of the green an inclosure
mad been roped off, and inside of it, at
each corner, stood one of the four con
testants. They were stripped to the
waist, and each man grasped in his right
hand knife with blade seven inches
long. For a moment the men stood
glaring at each other then the word
was given and the fight began. 1t was
a case of every man for himself with
vengeance. Mate Lowell says that
without exception it was the most fear
ful sight he ever saw. In five minutes
it was all over. When the police ar
rived upon the scene three bodies,
hacked almost beyond recognition, lay
inside the ropes. The fourth man was
80 crazed by his wounds that before the
police could lay hands on him he drove
his own knife through his heart.

COLUMBUS FLEET


To BE Duplicated for Exhibition At the
Worlds Fair.
WAsIIINGToN, June 20.-Lieutenant
Little, of the navy, sails for Spain
shortly to carry out a worlds fair mis-
sion, under the direction of the secretary
of the state and secretary of the navy.
Lieutenant Little has tried for some
time to have American ship-yards get
up duplicates of the three quaint ships
which constituted the fleet of Columbus.
He visited the various navy yards and
private ship yards but found that they
could no more undertake such work
than they could build Chinese junk.
The Columbus fleet of ships were built
of native Spanish woods with canvas of
peculiar make and rigging of a hemp
peculiar to Spain. 1t was, therefore,
concluded TO 60 to Spain and enlist the
government Of that country in repro
ducing the fleet of Columbus. This is
Lieutenant Little's mission. He has let
ters from the secretary of state to the
minister of foreign affairs in Spain and
from the secretary of the navy TO the
naval minister at Madrid. With these
it is hoped that the Spanish government
will exercise official supervision over
building the three caravaltes in exact
duplicate of those sailed by Columbus.
The cost WILL of course, be met by this
country. Lieutenant Little hopes to
have the work done in one of the Span
ish government navy yards, but if un-
successful in this he will see what the
private ship yards will do.

LONDON, June 20.--A Vienna dispatch
Friday, said:
The emperor is spending the day in
seclusion, it being the twenty-fourth an
niversary of the death of his late
brother, Ferdinand Maximilian, emperor
of Mexico, who was executed by shoot
ing at Queretaro. The emperor always
devotes a portion of it to retirement and
prayer. AS blow to his affections the
fate of Maximilian is said to have been
second only to the suicide of Rudolph.
The subject of renewal of diplo-
matte relations between Mexico and
Austria was recently broached in Wen
ma through the Colombian representa-
tive in that city, and the imperial minis
try was strongly inclined to favor the
proposition on account of the growing
commercial interests both Of Austria
and Mexico.
The emperor himself however, put
firm veto npon the project, and showed
by the emphasis of his action that he
never would forgive Mexico for the
death of his brother. The probability is
that as long as Francis Joseph lives
there will be no direct diplomatic inter
course between Austria and Mexico.
With his death, however, the personal
objection will disappear, as the crown
viii then go to a nephew, &c whom the
death of Maxilnilian will be a matter of
history only.

A SUMMER STORM
Sends n Destructive Flood Through the
Illinois Valley.

Illinois Valley.
PEORIA, HIS, June 20.-A terrible
rainstorm swept through the Illinois
River valley Wednesday night, doing
great damage to the crops, gardens and
fences.
In Hilton, small town across the
river from Peoria, several houses We're
washed from their foundations. The
inhabitants fed, scantily clothed, to the
railroad grade and hills.
The water rose in the houses at Farm
dale, seven miles east, to depth of
three feet, and many people narrowly
escaped drowning.
Herds of COWS, horses and hogs were
swept away.
Crops throughout large tract in the
valley are ruined.
In Copperas creek valley, just across
the line in Fulton county, man named
Gray had q cabin. When the flood left
the banks the father took his three boys
and started to the hills, while the
mother refused to leave the house.
when half way across the valley float
ing log struck Gray and stunned him.
The rushing water drowned the boys,
aged IL, and 5. The father narrowly
escaped by clinging to the log. His wife
climbed 10 the roof Of the hOuse and was
rescued Thursday afternoon.

REIGN Or TERROR

Hippolyte Continues to Kill His
Supposed Enemies.

NEW YORK, June 20.-According to a
letter Just received from Port-au- Prince
it is said that President Hippolyte at
tempted on May 30 to take four political
prisoners from the Mexican consulate in
the Haytian capital. When the entire
diplomatic corps called ON the president
May 80 to protest against the violation
of international law, Hippolyte attempt
ed to play high-handed game of bluff,
and he might have succeeded had not
the German consul threatened to report
the matter to his government.
Reign of Terror.
Terror reigns supreme at Port-au-
Prince. Hippolyte continues to kill his
supposed enemies, but they accumulate
faster than he can kill them. The real
instigators and leaders of the movement
against him have escaped his vengeance.
Some of them are secretly at work.
Says Hippoiyte is Crazy.
Hippolyte, the writer thinks, is I'M
doubtedly crazy. 1t is stated that when
the consuls called on him he became
angry and rushed out of the room, and
was soon after heard playing flute in
the next room. The consuls were leav-
ing when the minister of foreign affairs
came i'll and begged them to remain,
saying the president had been summoned
away on important matters but would
return Immediately The minister then
went out and apparently demonstrated
with Hippolyte, who soon re-entered the
room and excused himself on the same
grounds mentioned by his minister.
Charges Against Our Minister.
Minister Fred Douglass, it is said in
the letter, stood trembling with fear and
heard the black ruler insult the flag of
every civilized post, including his own,
and he did not dare offer a protest.
Referring again to Minister Douglass,
the writer says he evidently regards the
Hayt1an government with much more
veneration than his own. The writer
vigorously adds that as the United
States claims moral jurisdiction over
Hayti, it is about time minister of
some decision was sent there to replace
Douglass. Members of the diplomatic
corps have appealed to Douglass to sus-
tain the moral position the Monroe
doctrine calls for but in vain

SEBwAING. Mich, June 20-A terrible
fight between man and an infuriated
mule occurred in Heyman's blacksmith
shop Wednesday. The mule had an
aversion to being shod and had to be
thrown down. Heyman said he would
shoe the animal. He finally fixed the
shoes, and went to the door to cool OFT.
He had hardly done so when the mule
broke away from the man holding him,
and with distended jaws made for Hey
man. The mule chased Heyman all

to Heyman's face, and bit off his nose
and lower right cheek. He fell to the

Mataafa, accompanied by force of ma
tives, had started for Maize, the center
of the intrigue which is known to exist
against the sovereign rights of King
Malietoa This movement by Mataafil
will, it is believed, lead to further trou-
BILE. The two chiefs, who by order of
Malietoa had been imprisoned for sedi-
ton, escaped and joined Mataafa. The
latter returned them to Malietoa, and
during an interview which was held be-
tween Mataafa and Malietoa the former
told the latter that although he (Malie-
toa) had been recognized as king by the
powers he, (Mataafa), was the real ruler

MANY Villages INUNDATED
by the Bursting of an Artificial Lake In
the TyrOl.


VIENNA, June 20.--An artificial lake
1000 feet long and $50 feet wide and so
feet deep formed by the Martell glacier
behind Zufallferner mountain, in the
Tyrol, burst its confines Thursday and
flooded the valley. The huge volume of
escaping water caused a shock like an
earthquake to the surrounding country,
and made deafening noise. As inhab-
itants had expected for some time past
that this accident would happen, and
had accordingly made preparations look
ing to the safety Of their lives and prop
erty, it is hoped that no fatalities have
been caused, but reports from many vii
lagos which have been inundated are
anxiously awaited. II is known that
much property has been destroyed. The
bursting of the lake was due 10 the
softening of the glacier, which is 1900
feet in thickness.
