FIGHT ON A STREET CAR.
One Man Objected to Having Two Others
Step on His Toes.

Three men made things lively on 4 Birming-
ham street car last night. The trouble began.
by one stepping on the toes of man who was
sitting down. The three were alone in the car
and were slugging each other when the con-
ductor and driver put them off at Thirty-frst
street.
The three men then went down TO the foot of
Thirty-tirst street and finished soothing their
insulted feelings in true dueistic style. One
man was injured so badly that he had to be car
ried to- his home and it is said, may not live.
One of the men was a sub-cOnductor on the
Birmingham line, but the names of none of
them could be learned.

FLOODS IN SPAIN,
Two Thousand People Said to
Have PeriShed.
Appalling Devastation in the
Province of Toledo.

Official information has been received at
Madrid, Spain, from the scene of the terri
BILE floods now devastating the province OF
Toledo. According to the news received
two thousand people have already perished,
and an immense amount of damage has been
done by the swollen waters
At present it Is utterly impossible to SEND
assistance to the survivors as all road and
railway communication with the scene OF
the disaster has been cut of.
Official kilograms report that fifteen hup-
dred persons perished in the destruction u
Consuegra by the overflow Of the Amar
guillo. Hundred of others were injured oy
falling buildings and enormous numbers OF
cattle perished. At other places many per-
sons were drowned AMI much property was
damaged.
Crowds blockade the entrances to the Gov
ernment, telegraph and newspaper offices,
the all-pervading anxiety being to ascertain
the details Of this awful calamity, as they
affect the safety of the unfortunate people
residing in the pathway of the apparently
irresistible floods.
All communication by railway, highway
or telegraph being at present cut OF, moth
ing can be learned which could serve to less
en- the apprehension Of the people that the
news. bad as it is may be followed oy
worse.
Consuegra is on the river Amarguilla, in
the province of Toledo, and thirty-six miles
southeast of that city. It contains about
seven thousand inhabitants, who are princi-
pally engaged in the manufacture OF coarse

An Immense Catfish.

A huge catfish hanging in front OF an
Edmond street restaurant almost precipi-
tated riot yesterday. The usual ad-
miring crowd surrounded it, and the
members, according to custom, began
affordinc each other information as to its
weight. One man who had caught
shoals of just such fish, only larger, de-
clared that it weighed 1O5 pounds.
This was a starter, and all subsequent
estimates were based upon it. The fish
soon weighed lis pounds, and by easy
gradations attained a gravity of 10y
pounds. Newcomers were arriving on
the scene, and the sidewalk was OBJ
ssructed by maligners of each others
judgment, and accusations of wllful
lying and perjury were recklessly tossed
about. The proprietor became alarmed
and hastily wrote label bearing the in
scriptlon, "1O9 pounds" which he
placed on the back of the breeder OF
discord. The crowd compromised on
this statement and separated.-1St. Joseph

ted by two boys, each of them about eight
years of age have just come to light in Liv-

rested, charged with numbering one Of their
comrades, a boy also about eight years OF
age. Upon being taken to the police station
they confessed to the crime. They said that
they wanted to steal the clothes Of the muir
dered boy, and therefore pushed him into the
water, intending to drown him.
When the poor little fellow managed to
scramble out, Crawford and Sharon pushed
him in again: then Crawford went down on
his knees, and, kneeling on the drowning
boys head, held him down under water Tn
til he finally ceased struggling. The two
young murderers stripped the boy OF the
clothes, dried them, and afterward obtained
some money upon them at pawnshop.
This led to their Identification and arrest.
