A BUSINESS MANS VIEWS,
John H. Albert Squarely on the
Progressive Platform.

John H. Albert is one of the NOM
inees for alderman in the Fourth
ward who is endorsed by the Citi-
zens' movement.
Everyone knows Mr.. Alberts
ability as a business man and his
reputation as public and progress
i've citizen is established.
He is a man who would not al
low a mudhole to exist in street of
this city if he could help it. And
he would not abandon his efforts to
fill the mudhole because some one
else was in favor of maintaining
mudholes. He places himself squar.
ly on the progressive platform and
endorses the demand for rescuing
Salem City finances from their pres
ent muddled condition, and better
business administration. He eX-

BATTLING WITH RUsrLERs.
a Reported Conflict in Which Forty-six
Were Killed.

CASPER, Wy, April ia man from
Riverside reports that the 150 deputies
of Sheriff Angus attempted to arrest
the invading army and killed twenty
eight of them, and that eighteen of their
own men were Killed. Great excite
ment exists here, and no one knows who
the armed force is after, nor what mo-
ment they may swoop down upon this
community. The town is walking
arsenal. If the ringleader's object is to
kill off his private enemies about one
half of the population must be on the
list. This section to man will turn
out if any miscellaneous killing takes
place around here. Several newspaper
representatives are here, but fear to go
to the scene, as every stranger is looked
upon with supsicion, and the army, if
they caught the reporters, would keep
them close prisoners
DENVER, April 13.-A special from
Douglass, Wy, to The News in regard

nelly reports the rustlers are flying in
every direction and attempting to escape
from the country. Three of them passed
through Antelope Springs.
When Donnelly left Powder River
Crossing there had been no casualties in
the stockmen's party.

A new CANDIDATE.
General Slocum Mentioned as o
New York Possibility.
A SPLENDID MILITARY REOoRD.

Representative Greenleaf Names the
New York Soldiers at esman As a
Possible Compromise Between
Cleveland and Hin, but Fears He
Would Borbid the Use of HIS Name.
WASHINGTON, April l3.-That Senator
Hills friends have lost faith in his can
didacy is evident from the manner in
which they are casting around for new
candidate who can unite the Cleveland
and Hill forces in New York The first
compromise candidate was trotted out
yesterday by Representative Greenleaf
In an interview suggesting tho name of
General H. w. Slocum, of New York.
"If neither Hill nor Cleveland can be
nominated" said Mr.. Greenleaf. 81 do
not know of a stronger candidate than
General Slocum. He could carry New
York like flash. He has everything in
his favor. Personally, and speak now
from my own knowledge of him, he is
clean, independent and honest. He can
neither be bribed nor bullied. He is 65
years old, has amassed quite fortune
as business man, is largely interested
in various enterprises, and is very pop
ular.
His Military Record.
II regard him as having the finest
military record of any living American.
He commanded the right wing of
Meade's army at Gettysburg and the
left wing during Shermans march to
the sea. He was in all of the important
engagements in which FitZ John Porter
was concerned and was at Chancellors-
vile, Fredericksburg and other noted
battles. He is president Of the Soldiers
home at Bath, N. Y, and is idolized by
the veterans.
II should like to see the Democratic
party select soldier for its candidate.
j believe it would be successful expert
ment. The only drawback is that Gen
eral Slocum is one of the delegates at
large for HILL and he would not do any
thing or allow anything to lie done that
wouldin any way look as if he were work
aug for or wanted the nomination. He
is the soul of honor, and this, think,
would prevent him from even allowing
the use of his name"

HE WAS POISONED.
Startling Evidence Regarding the Death
ofPittsburg's Police Superintendent.

PITTsBURa. April 13.-It has just
leaked out that Gamble Weir, superin-
tendent of police of this city, who died
suddenly three months ago, was poi
soned.
At the time Of his death his friends
had suspicious of foul play, but they
kept the matter secret in the hope that
some clew might be found that would
lead to the discovery of the murderer.
SO far, however the work of ferreting
out the person wko committed the crime
has been one of difficulty. Whoever
had given the fatal dose had covered his
tracks SO well that every effort to dis
cover him has proved failure.
Superintendent Weir was ailing for
weeks before his death. One day he
would seem better, and the next he
would be seized with terrible parox-
ysms that batfled his physicians skill.
After his burial several friends quietly
went to Greenwood cemetery, exhumed
the body and removed the stomach and
spleen, after which the corpse was re-
turned to the grave. The intestines
were submitted to an analytical chemist
for examination. His work is not fin
ished, but it has been found that enough
poison had been taken to kill several
men.
The stomach has been literally eaten
up with violent poison of one kind and
there are evidences that another kind
had been used. One poison was corrosive
sublimate and the other is thought to
have been arsenic.
Every effort was made to keep the cir
cumstances secret until some day the
author of the crime might he discovered,
but lately the matter has become pretty
freely circulated, and it looks now as If
the guilty person may go unpunished

MORE FLOOD VICTIMS
Over a Hundred Negroes Drowned
in Mississippi.
AND TWELVE HUNDRED HOMELESS

The Land for a Distance of Seventy
Miles South of Nashville Sub
merged-Scores of Dead Bodies of
Men, Women and Children Float
ing on the Muddy Waters.
NASHVILLE, April 13.-The horrible
loss of life across the Mississippi state
hne grows appalling, and the death list
Is constantly increasing. The waters
now cover the land for seventy miles
south Of here. Scores of houses. bodies
of men women and children, together
with those of dumb beasts. are floating
on the muddy waters, Over 1900 people
are homeless. The flood is caused by
the sudden rising of sixteen rivers which
form network over north Mississippi.
Rats, small boats and canoes were built
by the score and stocked with pro-
visions. Daring rescuers have started
out to carry aid to the sufferers. Many
bodies are being brought in by boatmen.
Sixty-one bodies of both sexes have been
recovered so far. The flood is beginning
to recede slowly. 1t is estimated tn at
the damage will amount to over So ,000,-
600.
Over a Hundred Drowned.
COLUMBUS. Miss. April 13-Later ad-
vices from the lowlands just south of
here indicate that more than hundred
have been drowned in this county 1t
will be weeks before anything like a
correct estimate of the loss of cattle can
be obtained. The bodies of horses,
mules and cows are constantly floating
down the Tombigbee river. For miles
on both sides of the river there remains
lothing but poverty and desolation.
DR.. J. d. Hutcherson, one of the larg-
est planters in this state, has just re-
turned from one of his plantations in the
northern parts of the county, and re-
ports great destitution from the overflow
Of the Butahatchie. He lost seyenty-fve
head of cattle. One of his laborers, A.
X. Keith, living few miles south, saved
his mules and cattle by putting them in
the dining room aud parlor, where the
water was only two feet deep. His
family and fifty negroes were in the Sec
ond story of the house.
4 Most Of the county bridges have been
swept away and it will be weeks before
ordinary traffic will be regularly re-
sumed. A cold rain has fallen almost
constantly since Sunday night. No mail
has been received here since Thursday.

Floods in Minnesota.
! ST. PAUL. April 13.-The Red river at
St. Vincent, Mimi, is over its banks and
has begun flooding the towns of st.
Vincent and Emerson. The water is
forty feet above low water mark, and is
still rising. AS the ice in the river has
not yet gone out a greater height is
feared. A rise of only one foot will
cover the town of Emerson. Tho indi-
cations are that the diastrous flood OF
1880 will be repeated, and as the towns
are more settled the loss will be greater.
Families in the lower parts of both En-
erson and st. Vincent have already be-
gun to move out, anticipating the worst.
