SAN ANTONIO, Tex, June Bore
turns from the celebration of St.
Johns day, the Mexican feast day,
are coming in slowly. Up to date five
men have been killed in this section,
and the latest is Augustin Hernandez,
a fiery son of an old Mexican who was
celebrating with his friends on Atlas
cosa creek, thirty miles from San An
tonic. To him came Jesus Vasquel, &C
companied by stranger. Hernandez
offered to fight the stranger for love.
Vasquez replying said that he did all
the fighting for his companions, Her
nandez, aud Vasquez began mill for
blood. Vasquez had much the best of
it. Hernandez drew his revolver and
struck Vasquez on the head. Vas.
quez drew his knife and spilled the
bowels of Hernandez on the ground.
He fled and was pursued. He has not
been seen, and there is no doubt that
the friends of the dead Hernandez
filled him with lead. Officers are in
vestigating. The stranger got out
of the ARRAY with a whole skin and
has disappeared.

FLOOD IN THE MISSOURI.
THE TOWN OF ST. JOSEPH ENDANG-
Erred.

EHED.
KANSAS CITY, June 29.-The recent
heavy rains have caused another rise
of the Missouri. At H. o'clock last
night the gauge stood at 81 feet 4
inches, which is inches above the
danger line. The danger of food
from the Missouri becomes greater
every hour. At z o'clock a. IN. the
signal service reported the gauge ats
81 feet 8 inches. and the river was
rising inch per hour. The rise of 2
feet since Saturday night is reported
at st. Joseph, which insures higher
water here.
In the lower parts of Harlem" the
water covers the streets and number
of people are moving to higher ground
A st. Joseph special says the river has.
risen steadily since Saturday, and al
noon today is within sixteen inches OK
the highest point reached in ten years.
The residents of the French bottoms
north of this city are in a state OF I;
alarm, and many are preparing to-.
move. The water is still rising ana.
reports received FROM Sioux City and
Omaha show gain OF six inches since
last evening.
If the. river should overflow the
French bottoms it is expected that n
new channel will be cut through, leav-
ing many farmers on an island and d.
verging the stream from Kansas two
miles, If the present rate of rise con-
tinues twenty four hours the stock,
yards and hundreds of houses in South
st. Joseph will be inundated. The
situation is serious to the packing in
terests as we'll as hundreds of small
farms in the low lands. The Buriing-
ton tracks on the river front ia the
city have been strengthened.
On this side of the river the high
water has caused no flood excepting
as it has backed up the waters Of I'll e
Kaw, which empty into the Missouri
at this place. There the waters have
submerged much of the lowlands and
the hundred or more squatters living
there have been obliged to abandon
their homes.
The water has also backed up In the
sewers in Kansas City and has run out
of the manholes, flooding various
parts OF the town. The consolidated
tank line companys yard is flooded
from the latter source, and other floods
q similar character are expected in
the lower places of the town. Very
little actual damage is anticipated
unless the Missouri waters should rise
more than three feet above their pres
ent stage. Leavenworth also reports
very high water, the inundation OF
much valuable farm land aud the
destruction of the crops. No damage
has been done in the city. 'e

arose and declared in the most en-
phatic terms that the government
would adhere firmly and steadily to
the Driebund, adding that Italy and
Europe might rest assured that these
alliances would be maintained and
that European peace would long be
preserved.
With this, the whole house, with the
exception of the extreme left, rose and
cheered long and heartily. After fur

of it when | see it, when | talk
about Paris churches now: 30 that
the subjoined statements are
purely heresay and are not com,

the statement as succinct and la
comic as a cablegram to insure ac-

My informant deposed as fol-
lows: On last Saturday, in Paris,
there was a Democratic primary
election to make a nomination
for the Legislature, The candi-
dates were Messrs. Horace Miller,
a deacon of the Christian church,
and Emmett Dickson, a deacon OF
the Presbyterian church, the lat
ter being a minister's son, and
having married minister's
daughter.
Money and whisky were each
freely and VIGOROUSLY used by
the friends of each of the candi-
dates, by the connivance OF the
candidates.
1t is supposed that Mr.. Miller
furnished the money to buy the
whisky for his side, he being a
rich man, and it is doubted it Mr..
Dickson did, he being a...poor
man.
Further this deponent saith
not.
