CuERoKEE, a., June 20.-Gov. Boies
arrived in this city this morning, and
after surveying the flooded district,
issued proclamation to the people of
the State, in which he described the
damage done by the recent flood, and
said that over one hundred families
were in immediate need of aid. In
addition to the loss OF homes and furni-
ture and clothing the county at large
has suffered greatly in the loss Of nearly
every bridge within its limits. In view
of this calamity he recommends that
the mayors of the several cities OF the
State and all other charitably disposed
persons Immediately take steps TO or
ganize proper committees to solicit aid
for these unfortunate people.

Criminal Exploits of n Pair of Runaway
School Boys.
NEW ORLEANS, June 29.-An exciting
criminal caracr was temporarily sus-
pended by the sentencing to term in
the parish prison OF Willie Martin and
Edward Dixey. Tho first is seventeen
years of ago and Is from Parkville, Mo.
Dixey is twcnty-one and is from Eng
land. About two years ago both youths
were studying for the ministry in n
theological institute in Missouri. There
thoy learned to drink and gamble and
their csCapades eliminated intheir rum
ming away from school. They first
went TO San Francisco, then, to Calves
ton, Tex, in each place committing nu-
merous larccnies, and finally landed in
New Orleans. In the last few months
they have robbed over hundred stores
and offices, taking anything they could
realize few dollars oil. They confined
their operations TO the day time and at
night lived u fast and gay life with dis
solutc women. 1t was one of this class
who eventually disclosed their doings
to the police and caused their arrest.
With compassion for the youth OF the
offenders Judge Baker did not consign
them to the penitentiary, but gave
Dixey six months in the parish prison
aud Martin one year.

has been since the great food OF 1881,
but it still lacks several feet OF the rec
ords. At o'clock this evening the

standard low water mark. The water
is rising steadily one inch an hour, and
will probably rise two or three feet
more in the next day or two. The
lower parts Of Harlem, hamlet just
across tho river, have already been
submerged and about twenty-five fam
lilies have been driven out OF their
homes.
They have taken their household
good from their houses and are camping
on tho highlands. The people have
been made very nervous blythe accounts
OF the disastrous floods in Iowa, and
tlcy are taking no chances. Tho Con-

Atchison reports the Missouri river
two feet higher at that point than it
has been ut any other time this season.

wANAplAKER WILLING.
To satisfy Every Doubt About Ills connCc-
tIon with the Keystone Bank.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June Gloon
trary to the general impression, Post
master General Wanamaker did not
appear before the investigating COM
mittee of councils this afternoon to ex-
plain the apparent discrepancy be-
tween his previous testimony relative
to his ownership of Keystone bank
stock and facts subsequently, developed
by the books OF the bank. A letter
from Mr.. Wanamaker was read by
chairman Van 0sten:
"PHILADELrIuA, Pa, June 20.
"Irtuidm n. Ian oa,en, Esq
"DEAR Sm:-It seems to be thought
by some that certain evidence offered
at the last meeting Of your committee
is not in harmony with tho testimony
delivered by me when l appeared before
you us witness.
II assume that your committee fully
understood the matter. Ii, however,
there is any information wanted from
me shall besglad ct twenty-tour hours
notice to meet any member or members
Of the committee and explain any or
every item Of my statement, or attend
any meeting OF which / have notice.
"JouN WANANAKER."
A communication was also received
from ex-City Treasurer Bardsley's
counsel stating that if the committee
was DESTROYS OF any information from
his client they should put it in writing
and submit it to Bardsley, who would
answer in the same manner. S. p. Dun
ham, president Of the Mechanics Ma
tional Bank OF Trenton, n. j., testified
that the bank. had loaned Henry Yard
money on tive, certificates OF the Key
stone bank, one Of which, No. $50, was
in the name OF John Wanamaker, and n
power Of transfer on the back signed by
Mr.. Wananaker.
Since the loan was made the bank
has parted witt, the Wanamaker certif-
cate and received another in its place.
+. p. Morris, President OF the Girard
Trust Company, testified that his com.
pany had once held certificate No. $50 of
the keystone Bank, which were held as
collateral for loan made to Mr.. Wana.
maker. Each OF the certificates were
for 200 shares. and the loan was called
in October, 1889. Mr.. Marsh, Presi-
dent Of the keystone Bank, came to Mr..
Morris and borrowed the money, stating
at the same time that it would be \
great obligation to Mr.. Wanamakcr.
MIR. Norris understood ,that'the loan
was to be made to Mr.. Wanamaker,and,
as he put it, 1--WE are willing at any time
to loan Mr.. Wonamaker 100000" The
loans were repaid by the Keystone
Bank the morning Of the day after they
we're loaned. Mr.. Morris said that sub
sequently the Girard companyloaned
Mr.. Wanamaker money on what he
thinks were the same shares Of electric
trust stock.
Howard Spencer Jones, clerk in the
employ Of MIR. Wanamaker, in whose
name several OF the certiticatee pledged
by Mr.. Wanamakerto his brokers stood,
explained that he signed the transfers
on the back OF the certificates at the re-
quest of Mr.. Wanmaker. He didn't
know that the stock stood in his name.
Mr.. Jones said that w. Rankin, in whose
name several OF the certificates stood,
was boy or youth formerly in the en-
ploy of Mr.. Wanamaker. Several other
witnesses We're called, after which the
committee adjourned.

SAN FRANcIsco, June 29.-Before he

his opinion of jim Carbett as a fighter.
Sullivan had been told that he was
held by the public as responsible for
the wretched tiasco OF that four.round
sparring match between himself and
Corbett. This angered Sullivan, and he
said: "The public was disappointed
because / took my cue from Corbett.
This sparring boutwas in his own town,
and | allowed him to cut out the pace.
He did not want any genuine scrap so
that he settled it. You may tell him
that if he ever puts on gloves with me
