ABDUCTED HIS WIFE.

Sensational Episode in England- How One Jackson Forcibly Se- cured the Partner of His Joys and Sorrows on a High Court order. LONDON, March 9.-An abduction under
 most sensational circumstances is reported
 from Clitheroe, twenty eight miles from
 Manchester. Yesterday morning, as Mrs.
 E Jackson was leaving a church in that
 place carriage drawn by four horses and
 containing three men was rapidly driven
 up, and stopped near the lady, who was
 seized and forcibly conveyed inside the
 vehicle. The carriage containing the ab-
 rapidly away, with friends of the lady in
 vain pursuit. The abducting party finally alighted before house in Blackburn, and conducted Mrs. Jackson inside
 the dwelling. They then proceeded to barricade the doors and win dows of the house, and strenuously re- fused admittance to the party of pursuers who had followed them in another car that the principal abductor and the occu- pant of the barricaded house in Black | burne is E. H. Jackson, who is the hus- band of the abducted lady. It seems that | three years ago Jackson privately married | the lady, then Miss Hall, and that she is the possessor of fortune of 1000. | After the marriage Jackson went to Aus tralia, returning, however early in 1889. But the lady then absolutely refused to live with him. Jackson thereupon ob- tained a high court order for restitution of | conjugal rights, notwithstanding which | his wife steadily refused to live with him, and he resorted to abduction.
 After the abduction crowds of people | surrounded Jackson's house, which they | threatened to storm, in an effort to re- lease Mrs. Jackson, but the chief constable warned them that in so doing they would be guilty of breach of peace, while Jack son himself from window of the house shouted defiance at those outside, saying he had large force ready to resist any attempts at rescue Both sides were on the alert throughout last night and all to- day. The police have succeeded in main tainiug order outside the house. Mrs. Jackson's solicitor has obtained @ warrant against the abductors for assaulting his clients sister at the time of the abduc- ton, but the abductors remain barricaded within the house and cannot be arrested. Crowds of people are still watching the house.

PLEADING FOR MATRON. Four Ladies Call Upon the Police
 Commis sfoners.

Mrs. w. J. Whitney, Mrs. D. S. Gam ble, Miss Watrous and one other lady were closeted with Police Commissioners Dillon and Platt last night at police headquarters. They were using their utmost eloquence to show to these gentlemen how necessary it is to have a matron in the building. At the request of the ladies, reporters were vigorously excluded from the room and the two commissioners sat alone in the midst of the ladies aud listened to their arguments.
 After an hour or two of this manner of hearing, the ladies were taken through that part of the building where female prisoners were confined. Accompanying them were the two commissioners and Doorman Moore who explained, with his benefcent smile, the procedure of the department when a woman is brought in and locked up. The ladies left shortly be- fore 10 o'clock.
 ''Shall we say there is to be a matronf" was asked the commissioners.
 ''Of coursel of couse" exclaimed Com missioner Dillon.
 Cert! sure!" ejaculated Commissioner Platt
 It is probable that Mrs. Coogar. wife of the janitor of the police building, will be thy new matron. She will have an inter view with Mrs. Whitney and several of the other ladies regarding the matter in day or two

The home team played polo from start to finish and their good work was applauded to the echo. The work of Woodtke last evening was the best e1hi- bition he has given in recent games and several of his plays were of the gilt edge order. Reed played his usual fine game at goal. Curley also put up good game and many of his stops were of the phenomenal order. Hill never showed his generalship to better advantage than in last evenings game and it was largely due to his work that victory perch ed upon the banners of the home team The game Friday night will be between the Hartford and New Haven teams.

DAMAGE BY A CLOUD-BURST. Many Streams swollen by Constant Rains Bridges Carried Away Railroads Washed Out-The Town of Enterprise Inundated Four
 Negroes Killed by a Cyclone.
 MERIDIAN, Miss, March 9.-The cloud burst of Saturday night did immense dam age to all the railroads entering this city, and no trains have come in or gone out to- day, except one on the Alabama and Great Southern railroad. The Northeastern rail road is washed out between this city and Enterprise, and it is reported that the iron bridge is a foot out of line. The Alabama and Vicksburg is washed out in dozens of places, and the Mobile and Ohio is badly damaged between Meridian and Enterprise and at other points, Two trains of the Illinois Central, which came south from Jackson, Tenn, over the Mo bile and Ohio, are standing on the track here. The road is broken north of Jack son, Miss. The Greenwood Opera con- pany is tied up at Hattenburg. It is ex- pected that trains will get through to- morrow. The city suffered heavily from bridges washed away.
 PICKENs, Miss, March 9.-Continued rains since Thursday night have raised the water in Big Black river higher than ever known, and it is still rising rapidly. It is up to the floor of the bridge; all the other bridges in the country are gone and communication cut off, The Illinois Cen tral railroad track is lifted bodily from it's bed and deposited in the ditch for miles below and above here, and the embark ments swept away. Incalculable damage has been done by the water. A cyclone passed over this place last Saturday morning without doing any damage, dropping over in Madison county, where it caused great destruction of life and prop erty. It passed from there into Attala county, near Newport, where houses were blown down and four negroes killed. The town of Enterprise is inundated to large extent, the water flowing through the streets with tho velocity of a river and in many instances coming in the stores. The flood has no parallel save in the memorable year of 1871. It will perhaps be two days before traffic will be resumed.
