COLUMBUS, Miss, April 12.-Later re-
ports enlarge, rather than diminish, the
previous estimates of the loss of life and
destruction of property by the food.
A belt of country, from five to fifteen
miles wide, through the county is one
mass of ruined houses, fences and car
casses of stock, and it is doubtful if a
dozen houses are left standing in the
district. From 1000 to 1900 negroes will
be left in this place, when the water
subsidies, without one cent and with no
credit, and of the places that were form
erly their homes, nothing but mud
holes. The impoverished condition of
the whites prevents them from main
tanning the colored people very long,
and great suffering will doubtless follow,
and it would be but common humanity
for congress now in session to assist
them. A mass meeting of citizens was
held this afternoon to devise means to
assist the poor. The mayor was author
lied to ask the federal government for
the loan of 1000 tents to give them shell
ter. The waters are going down slowly.
New ORLEANS, La, April 12.-The re-
ported loss of life and property by the
floods of the Tombigbee river is COM
firmed. The citizens Of Lowndes county,
Mississippi. have petitioned Congress
man Allen to ask the government for
aid, as the only means adequate. The
losses are variously estimated. The loss
of live stock is beyond computation.
Between fifty and two hundred human
lives have been lost
NASHVILLE, Tenn, April 12.-The ap-
palling character of the floods in North
ern Mississippi is just beginning to be
realized. Hundreds of lives have been
lost. Last night one man rowed several
miles in the dark on a raft with
twenty-six bodies he picked up.
The food came 30 suddenly that none
were prepared. All sorts of craft are
being jmprovised to go to the rescue of
the survivors, perched on the highest
ground without food or rhelter. The
loss of property will be over a million
dollars.

Troops to Take Hand.
BUFFALO, Wyo, April 12.-Full partic-
ulars of the fight at the T. A. ranch
have just been received. The first init
nation of the intended invasion by the
cattlemen was message saying train
OF armed and mounted men nnlOaded at
Caspar. The rustlers and cattlemen
had little time to prepare for
defense, as the cattlemen arrived soon
after, and at once attacked the K. G.
ranch. A posse of rustlers were sent to
the rescue, but when they arrived, the
cattlemen had done their work, and left
the house burned, and the dead bodies
of Nate Champion and Dick Ray were
found in the ruins. Jack Flag, the no.
torious leading rustler, arrived at the
X. G. ranch during the progress of the
battle, and had to run the gauntlet OF
the cattlemen to escape, but the cattle
men burned his wagon with the house.
Leaving the K. G. ranch, the cattle
men started for Buffalo, and the rustlers
organized and went to meet them. The
cattlemen took shelter in the T. A.
ranch, which the rustlers surrounded,
and at daylight the battle commenced.
Shots were exchanged all. day, but the
huhooI hlliou anu injured CdHHOG al
present be learned. One of the cattle
men escaped from the ranch, presuma-
bly, to get reinforcements.
The result of today's operations is not
yet known. George Green was brought
to Buffalo yesterday, badly wounded,
asserting that he shot himself acci-
dentally. 1t is thought he is one of the
cattlemen participating in the fight.
The rustlers are securing the country
for reinforcements, which are rapidly
coming in.
The acting mayor of Buffalo has called
on the governor of the state for militia
to assist the sheriff in quelling the dis
turbance.
CHEYENNE, Wyo., April Il. Governor
Badger tonight received telegram from
decentralization, saying he had ordered
the secretary of war to concentrate
sufficient number of soldiers from Fort
Mckinney to cooperate with the state
authorities in effecting settlement of
the present difficulties between cattle
men and rustlers.

A SENSATIONAL CASE.
A Pair OF Lovers Tried for Poisoning the
Girls Father.

A Pair OF Lovers Tried for Poisoning the
Girls Father.
MODESTO, CAL, April 12.-One of the
most sensational cases ever tried here,
that of the people against Julia O'Meara
and Charles Alberti, accused of attempt
ing to poison Dennis O'Meara, the girls
father, took place before Justice Whiteby
today. O'Meara testified that he tasted
something bitter in pitcher of water
left convenient for him ON March 9th.
When he retired, pitcher of the same
bitter water was left in his room.
He thought Julia put it there. She
had never before supplied water unless
requested. On the morning of the 28th
he noticed that instead of pouring out
the tea at breakfast Julia had served it
at each ones place. Witness poured
the tea into his saucer and drank it.
He noticed it was bitter, and was soon
seized with violent commissions. The
doctor saved him miraculously from the
effects of strychnine. The girl knew
where the poison was, which was used
fc- squirrels.
1t developed that the old man makes
all his daughters arise at O'Clock a. m, ,
help to harness the horses and plow ali
day. Julia had fallen in love with the
co.defendant Alberti, but her father
objected to the marriage.
The sisters of the defendant testified
that she made the tea that morning,
and that no one else could have poisoned
it,
On the advice of the district attorney,
this morning, though he said the evil
dence was plain against the girl, the
father consented to dismiss the case.
Popular sentiment is against sending
the daughter to the penitentiary. The
cases against both defendants were dis
missed. They will marry soon.

New YORK, April IA Herald Co.
hoes, NY, special Gays: No election
will be declared here, for some of the
ballot boxes were seized by gang of
roughs from Troy, who were appointed
special policemen. The city is in the
widest state OF excitement. All was
quiet until the time came for closing the
polls in the fourth ward, which is heav-
lily Republican. Then Troy special
officer caused row, and twenty other
policemen rushed in and seized the bal
lot boxes, and they are now in the police
station in an iron cell. The other wards
are being held back. The Troy mob
clubbed number of citizens and are
now hiding in Jail, fearing 40 leave the
city. The ballot boxes are in the police
station, the police say sealed, and after
the excitement they will allow fair
representation of all parties to count the
ballots.
The candidates for mayor are German,
Cleveland Democrat; Carside, Hill
Democrat, and Strong, Republican.
When the ballot boxes were seized
by the special police, an angry mob
followed, but was held back by
the regular ponce. At the pOllce station
the citizens attempted to rescue the
boxes, but were struck down by the
mob who were armed with clubs. A
saloon was entered by the mob, and
the bartender shot man through the
| arm.
When Inspector Leahy of the fourth
ward was pointed out to the Troy
specials, they drew revolvers
and forced him to sign a
blank return, which was taken to
the police station, for what purpose
is not known as the ward is heavily Re-
publican. The returns of the first ward,
heavily Democratic, we're kept back un-
til late hour, but official returns out
side the stolen fourth ward gave the
Republicans 2S8 majority, and assure
their election.
A man named McDonough, of West
Troy, has been taken home on stretch
er. He was hit by policeman who
thought he intended to vote for the Hill
candidate. By tomorrow it is expected
the excitement will have eubsided, 80
the Democrat will give up.
