SOUTH OF THE TERMINALS.
Tho Region That Was Flooded Las

Tho Region That Was Flooded Last--
Slow to Escape.
The territory around the oatmeal
mill was thought to be perfectly safe
until about 10 o'clock when party of
gentlemen who saw the rush of waters
above went around and notified every
occupant OF all dwellings to move
as soon as possible Under
circumstances like these the stubborn
ness of some of the people in danger is
remarkable Tho majority of the resi-
dents did get out, and in hurry, too.
After the water reached the Sioux CITY
and Pacific it was not long before it was
running over the track and filling all
the low places and was soon running
over the streets and up to the first floor
of most of the dwellings A great
many wagons, drays, etc, gave assist
nnce and wagon load after wagon
load of household goods were seen
coming west to higher ground. Many
people would not leave their homes
thinking that they were safe enough
but their experiences in getting to
land were thrilling in the extrelne

to the beds and covered the bedding.
On one was found lying with its head
on n pillow and its face Just out
of the water u little IS
months old babe. Willing hands
hurried it away Ten minutes longer
and the babe would have been
drowned.
Over on Steuben street near the
tracks, man was seen on housct D,
and further south on Stcubeu street in
m upper window two women were
waving their handlserchiefs The water
| was running over the tracks in torrents,
but two boats were sent to rescue
them They had to turn back Finally
another boat was sent from above.
This one was successful and was COM
ing back all right when some foatinp
ties struck the boat and capsized it.
All managed to get to place of safetr
until other boats could get out to them.
On south Wall, Iowa md Court streets
and the cross streets all the women
and children were taken care Of A
great many took refuge in tile Wor-
ccster school building The homes in
many places presented sad sight.
Everything was torn up and scattered
about rs the occupants had left, talk
ing only n few things with them.
Many houses were off their founda-
tions, outhouscs floating about, railroad
ties, lumber and refuse everywhere.
About 1890 i. was reported that
an old gentleman and his sick wifo
were at 207 Court street and were un-
able to get out. Boats were sent down
and helped them out Everything was
done that could be done to assist, and
at p m it was understood that every
body had been taken care of.

gan his work about II o'clock. Bruggy
kept watch, armed with two revolvers, and
kept the other criminals from giving an
alarm.
Early in the afternoon Frenchy had
sawed out q section Of the iron bars, and
just before locking up time, at 73O, he
crawled through and drew himself up into
an iron water tank on level with the up
per tier of cells. There were sixteen pris-
oners in the Jail, but none Of them dared
give warning. Bruggy had three twenty
dollar pieces, which he frequently exhib-
tied to Frenchy while the latter was saw
ing through the bars to encourage him in
his work.
There was only dim light in the cage
when the jailer locked the prisoners in
their cells, and Frenchy was not missed
Toward midnight Frenchy crawled out Of
the water tank and reappeared through
the hole into the cage. Then he applied
his saw to the bolts on Bruggy's cell, and
after an hours hard work the door was
thrown open. The two bade the other
prisoners goodby, crawled through the
hole and cut their way from the outer cor
ridor through a window.
The next morning, naturally, there was
an uproar. The sheriff offered reward
vi SJJO lOT bFuBBS capture, anu Jne COun-
try was secured for traces of him. The
ensuing Thursday it was learned that the
fugitives we've hiding in the mountains not
far from the road to Windsor County Re-
corder Hall and Detective Groshong
promptly took the trail, and at last discov-
cred their men standing under a big tree
to secure shelter from the pouring rain.
Groshong crept stealthily along until he
got within about twenty-five feet of the
men, lie was armed with a revolver.
Hall about the same time crcpt up eau
tiously from the other side. He had u
double barreled shotgun loaded with
heavy buckshot At signal given Gro
shong and Hall arose together, covering
the outlaws with their weapons, and cried
to them to hold up their hands. The jail
breakers, taken completely by surprise,
complied. Then while Hall covered them
with his gun, Groshong put the handouts
on them.
Boys" said Bruggy, "the jig is up;
this is a tough world"
Before dark the two outlaws were again
behind the bars.

LIBERTY, justice and equality are the
cardinal principles of the Republican
party Mckinley at Ann Arbor.
All of these principles appear to be
played out in this Congressional district.
Even the liberty of choice for repre-
sentative in Congress was thwarted by
combine among the venal elements;
and intellect, honest merit, experience
in affairs and patriotic endeavor, we're
sent into the dim limbo of forgotten
things. Liberty sat in an obscure cor
ner at the Salem Convention, while
hired delegations of heelers drowned
out the voice of Justice.and Equality
with the brazen noise of many brass
bands, and the venal braWl of boodled
tongues. Liberty, Justice and Equality
have ceased to do duty any more in the
6. o. p. except on dress parade occasions
like the one at Ann Arbor. These
principles, however, have'no place in
Republican Conventions, or when the
high offices, that formerly belonged to
the people, are to be given out. Then
the man OF merit is pushed aside, and
the golden calf is set up for the wor-
shippers of the g.o.p.

Mrs, Matte Fenner, of Milan, Tenn,
whose husband owns small farm near
Leach's swamp was attracted by the con
tinued barking of a strange dog a few
days ago. Upon the approach of Mrs.
Eenncr it CrOuChed at her feet, as though
having something to communicate. The
lady tried to take the dog to the house,
but it refused to stir in any path except a
narrow, muddy one that led directly to the
swamp. Mrs. Fenner got her husband s
boots and struck out on the dogs trail.
After going about mile she was suddenly
brought to a halt by the sight Of mans
head and shoulders protruding from the
black, Shiny mud.
The head was bent back, eyes closed and
the face black. His right arm was extend
ed grasping a low tussock, and the other
resting in the mud. The brave woman
struggled into the mud to ascertain if the
man was living. She began to sink in the
quagmire, and was only able by the eXer-
else of great strength to regain the path.
She returned to her home and summoned
her husband, who with two men returned
and carried the body to the house, where,
after rubbing with flannel, consciousness
was restored.
The stranger gave his name as Chick
Sanders, a glassblower Of Pittsburg. He
said he was walking from Aten, having
missed his train, and was hunting for wa
ter crosses in tie swamp In attempting
to push himself from a tussock to reach a
fine cress, without u thought of sinking
very deep, he jumped into the mud. His
legs went down into the black deposit. He
clutched at the tussock, and was about to
gain hold when he sank deeper and deeper
There seemed to be something pulling him
down. He exhausted himself with his
cries for help, that were only answered by
the piteous wall of his dog. He calculated
he sank one inch every hour and fell into q
stupor about night. He was buried twen-
ty-one hours. Sanders died from the hor-
rible exposure.

FIGURES ON CHICAGO,

Gen. Tracey of New York, a warm
friend of Grover Cleveland has just
tabulated the returns from the state
conventions held up to date, and has
Ggured on the delegations yet to be
selected. On the basis of his totals and
his speculatlons as to the action of the
states yet to be heard from, he declares
with much emphasis that the ex-Presi-
dent will receive the nomination prob
ably on the second ballot, OF the con-
ventions already held he gives Cleve-
land 4l5 and the uninstructed or anti
Cleveland ballots as 1S5. He comedies
to the opposition, which includes the
number of delegates instructed for
Boise, Gray, Carlisle and Hill, only 394
votes.
On the other hand the New York
Mail and Express, Republican organ,
has the following editorial:
Cleveland yesterday got little more
than half of the Georgia delegation and
had to give up half the delegates from
Virginia to Hill. Tammany's candi-
cate is still in the race, and Chairman
Murphy, of the Democratic State Com
mittee, who, since the death of Daniel
Manning, is the real leader of the New
York Democracy, made bold yester-
day publicly to predict that Hill would
be nominated at Chicago"

THE NEws-DEMoCRAT and Reposi-
tory, of Canton, and other newspapers,
have been disputing about certain
expressions which a well known Re-
publican of this made against Morgan.
Some of the newspapers have gone so
far as 10 assert that the statements
imputed to the aforesaid Republican
were false-malciously false. Without
entering into details, let it be known
that the interview referred to was true,
every word of it, and that the only
reason why the palliatory paragraph
appeared afterwards was because a
member of the indicator staff wished
to excuse as much as possible friend
who was getting severely scored by the
Morgan men, tru5 placing him in an

MORGAN WILL REMAIN IN Alliance.

We get reliable information from AL
lance that there is powerful opposition
to Morgan for Congress, by q large
number OF leading Republican citizens,
on the theory that MoIgan's departure
for Washington will leave a void in
business circles that cannot be filed.
For instance, Morgan's works are
largely employed on government con-
tracts.
With Morgan in Congress as legis-
lator, the Government could not give
him any more government contracts,
hence large number of Morgan's men,
now working on government contracts,
would be thrown out OF work, They
would be compelled to seek employment
elsewhere, much to the detriment of
Alliance merchants, and grOcers, shoe
makers, tailors, etc.
There are others in Alliance who will
vote against Morgan, because they feel
it is a great mistake for him TO euteI
the political arena. They say Morgan
is a success in his present line, but is
bound to be a dismal and conspicuous
failure as a Congressman; hence it is
far better for him to stick to a
line of business to which he is
adapted. This view is shared
by a majority of the citizens of
Alliance, who know Morgan's strong
points, also his egotisms, vanities and
weaknesses.
A prominent Republican of Alliance
said in Canton, on Wednesday, that
Morgan was only gifted in one line; as
a machinist. He said Morgan reminded
him of Blind Tom. AS musician he
was marvellous phenomenon, but out
side of music he was almost an idiot.
This gentleman, who is something of a
philosopher as we'll as politician, said:
Morgan is genius in the school Of
mechanical invention, but outside Of
that he is a child; but his success in
making money on new inventions and
contriVances has made him an egOtist
on everything, and this is what makes
him so unpopular with large class Of
our citizens"
We have reliable information,
that even in Alliance, where Nor
gan has been the boss, not only in the
Prohibition movement, but on every
other question, Morgan will lose two
Republican votes, where he gains one
Democrat.
There is a deep under current of
feeling in Alliance that it is better for
Morgan to stay in the field where he
has made success in life, rather than
venture out into field where the grass
is ten feet higher than his natural
vision, and where he is certain to be
utterly lost.

THE humbug of Mckinley "free
sugar" is gradually becoming under
stood. A Washington despatch states
that the payments for sugar bounties
have already amounted TO $7,5OOOOC
this year, and that $4,000 900 viii be
required next year. This is about one
fifth of the duties collected upou sugar
under the old tariff, and it all comes
out of the taxpayers, as the duty came
out of consumers. In addition to this
by leaving duty of half cent pound
upon refined sugar--no doubt for q
campaign consideration-the McKin-
leyites enabled the sugar trust, though
getting its raw material free, to levy
tribute upon the consumers. The peo,
pie were thus relieved from duties only
to be taxed for bounties and robbed by
the trust.-New York World.

A HOME VIEW OF MORGAN,


The forces of capital are in combina--
tion for the betterment of the moneyed
class. Every capitalist is, because OF
his money, possessed OF centralized
force. More than this, by a secret
system of trusts, aided by the prohibi.
tion tariff of the Republican party, the
moneyed men are able to control the
prices of what they have to sell. The
laborer, whether skilled or unskilled
should have the same right to look to
his own interests, and this can only be
done by organizations. Mr.. L. II. Nor
gan, Sr., is and always has been the foe
of labor unions, the opponent OF or.
ganized labor, the enemy of every COM
bination which has for its object the
establishment of a higher scale OF
wages for the working man. Such has
been Mr.. Morgan's position, and now
he seeks to legislate for the people OF
this Congressional district. Let then
every man who believes in legislation
for the few against the many, support
Mr.. Morgan. Let the friends of q
system who would help the strong, who
need it not, at the expense of the weak
who need support, give this millionaire
manufacturer their votes. But let
every man who is opposed to class
legislation, every man who would help
the working classes, every farmer VINO
understands that the consumers of his
products should be well paid, vote
against him. Regardless of politics let
every laboring man and every friend of
the poor, cast ballot in November
not for +. Il. Mo.gan, ST., but for some
representative man who will use what
influence he may have for the best
interest of the people.

A most remarkable, If not unexampled,
murder case soon comes up in the Warren
county CO., criminal court. Harley Dodds,
deaf mute, aged about thirty, will be
put on trial for numbering his brother,
Milton Dodds, last February. The dead
man had served two terms in the peniten-
tiary for stealing. The fratricide was liv-
ing with q notorious woman in the hamlet
Of Mount Holly, near Waynesville. She
claimed to be his wife, but was not. She
has been imprisoned twice for horse steal
ing. Dummy" as Harley is dubbed,
cannot read or write, nor does he know
one single letter of the mute's alphabet.
Thus he has never been able to give his
version of the story, and the great diff
fulty of the lawyer appointed TO defend
him will be to get some one who can inter
pret the few signs by which he makes his
wants known, His mother can under
stand some, but she would be prejudiced
witness in his favor, and the court could
not accept her. The law presumes that he
shall have knowledge of the testimony
against him, and testify in his own de-
fense. How this can be done Is a puzzle.
He certainly knows no more than an ami
NAL, and his conviction by a jury which
could not understand his defense might be
reversed and the man set free.

THE most unioue political deal that

THE most unique political deal that
has eyer before been heard of in Ohio's
one hundred years of political history
is the deal between Sherman and Fora
ker. SherClan to be candidate for
President, and If he gets there, then
Foraker Is to be his successor in the
Senate. And yet here is what Congress-
man Vincent A. Taylor(a Foraker many
says:
Everything In Ohio Is simply Sher-
man or Foraker. No one else is in it,.
Consequently the delegation to Min
neapolis will be divided on that line,
and a careful scrutiny of the list of the
delegates shows that Sherman has
twenty-eight and Foraker eighteen.
The Sherman men will all be for the
senator and the Foraker men will join
with them. The delegation will solid be
for Sherman"

JORDAN AM A HARD ROAD TO TRAVEL
From the PIttsburg Post

From the Plttsburg Post.
Rocks are appearing daily and grow
ing larger daily in the pathway of
Thomas r. Morgan, the Alliance man
ufacturer and enemy of organized labor
who was nominated for congress by the
Republicans in the NIahoning Stark
Columbiara district. In every quarter
of the district organized labor is unit
ing against him. The Amalgamated
Association and the knights of Labor
both of which organizations he has re-
fused to recognize, are making an open
opposition fight. His defeat only seems
to be question of Democratic major
ity. The Germans in Stark and Ma
hOning counties, who make up q large
per cout Of the farming population are
also against Morgan on account of his
rabid prohibition tendencies.
They recall the fact chat Morgan took
his brass band to Salem and made a
speech there in the interest,of ocal op.
tion when the question was submit ed,
Salem is not in .MOrgan's county, and
the COlumbiana people are disposed to
resent his interference in fight in
which he had no local concern. They
also remember that he took his band to
Minerva when the question was submit
ted there and that some of the musi-
clans got boozy while the old man was
shouting total abstinence on the stage.
He has also been "queered" with the
PrChibitionists by the serving of free
drinks at his headquarters in the Grei.
ner-BrainaTd hotel in Salem during the
convention which nominated him.

to attend the National convention al
Minneapolis on account of the made
quate supply of drinking places, as there
are only 297 saloons in Minneapolis
This fear, however, has now been dissi-

extra drinking booths are in process OF
construction, and that large tents will
also be stuck up with accommodations
for thousands.
