Worlds Record Broken.

DETROIT, Mich. July 22.-The fourth
day of the Blue Ribbon meeting opened
with a larger crowd present than on
any day except the opening day. The
weather was favorable for fast time and
all the conditions were encouraging for
Nancy Hanks to succeed in her effort
to lower her record, but when she
made the attempt she did not succeed
in going faster than 2:11A. The free
for-all trot was the fastest free-for-all
ever trotted in the world. It was won
by Jack, his time for the three heats
being 2:13X, 2:15H. 2:15N. Bonnie

The most crowded spot on the whole
earth is not in London, Paris or Naples,
nor yet in Canton or Pekin, but in New
York city, and within an easy walk
from the City hall. In one block,
bounded by First avenue, Avenue A.,
Fourth street and Fifth street, are 8, 100
people, enough to constitute a city in
some of the western states. The houses
here average six stories in height, and
each floor has room for four families.
Sixty-four houses, having frontage OF

100 persons, all living within 625 feet OF

DAMAGE BY THE FLOODS.

In the Vicinity of st, Louis Alone 1t is
Placed at 81, ZOO, 900.
ST. LOUIS, May 23.-Friday's decline
in the flood though but slight was suffi-
cient to give the people a chance to pre-
pare for the rise.
Incidentally, too, an opportunity has
been given to estimate the losses of the
districts Immediately tributary to st.
Louis, and truly the figures are appall-
ing. Here they are: st. LJuis county,
$4,000, 900; st. Louis city, 81 ,00O,O 900, st.
Charles county, 81, ,000, 900; the American
bottom, from Alton, Ills., to Cairo, S.
100000, this including East st. Louis
and vicinity; total, $11 100000. These
figures, astounding as they seem, are
considered by competent judges ex-
tremely conservative. In looking st
this loss it must be remembered that in
all the flooded territory referred to,
practically 1900 square miles, the waters
have rendered it in a majority of cases
impossible for the farming population
TO raise crop this year. All this comes
in addition to the damage actually done
to existing property.
Thousands Homeless and Out of Work.
AS to the numbers of persons driven
either from their homes or to their roofs
in the flooded territory an estimate is
impossible, figures ranging from 1000
to 5000 persons. Beyond this, in st.
Louis, at least, $4,000 persons have been
temporarily thrown out of work by the
stopping of factories by the high water.
The outlook is perhaps no brigher, but
certainly no darker, and it is believed
that what has been done by way of pro-
lection, supplemented by further work
rendered possible by the breathing time
given, will suffice to avert further seri-
GUS damage.
In East st. Louis, North st. Louis and
central st. Louis there is no change from
the condition of the past few days.
In the country districts Of st. Louis
and st. Charles counties and the Ameri-
can bottoms, the damage can not be in
creased, for it is now practically COM
plete. All are now awaiting the rise
coming from above. What it will do
can only be told when it gets here.
Along the Missouri
On the Missouri, too and its tribu-
tarleS, the waters are abroad to greater
extent than ever before known.
Throughout the Dakotas farms are un-
der water, bridges have been carried out
out and railroad tracks undermined.
Down through Nebraska the Missouri
and its affiuents are on the rampage.
The Platte is especially turbulent, and
all along its course through the state,
until it empties into the Big Muddy at
Plattmouth, it has left desolation on,
each side.

fire In the residence of Thomas Lawson.
The family barely escaped from the
house with their lives. Laura. the seven
teen-year-old daughter, had to jump
from q second-story window to escape,
and was very seriously injured. All
other escape had been cut off by the

This is the second case of this kind that
has occurred in this vicinity, and the
people are thoroughly aroused over it.

Burglars Do Great Damage to the Nc
Arthur (oJ Depot.
MACARTHUR, O.. May 20.-Burglars
entered the Columbus, Hoe king Valley
and Toledo depot at this place early
yesterday morning, and did a complete
job in boring the safe and blowing it
into atoms. The charge was so heavy
that it awoke people from their sleep
two blocks away from the depot. The
safe was blown wide open and the Office
fixtures are a complete wreck. They
were torn to pieces and the front of the
depot was blown out.
The burglars secured about $50 in
money and took some of Agent Dalton's
clothing, containing some books and
papers. The work is supposed to be the
work of professionals in disguise. They
used tomato can for dark lantern.
This depot seems to be mark for bur-
glars. 1t has been robbed about once a
year since it was built.
