addition to a prospective coal famine,
that there is threatened milk famine,
the water on the Illinois side having cut
off the dairymen from the city. De-
serted dwellings in the flooded districts
are systematically robbed of their con-
tents, including furniture. The steal
ings are said to have amounted thus far
to over 100000.
At Sioux City, among other things,
the stock-yards,, with the animals in
them, corn-cribs and all the buildings
were carried sway by the food.
At Clarksville, Ark, the flood in the

bridges 30 that no trains run over them.
No mail has arrived since Saturday.

AS one approaches the Floyd river in
the west and the vicinity of the stock
yards, near the mouth, the damage in
creases. 1t is impossible. to get to the
yards or to estimate the damage there,
but six or eight blocks above there is
evidence of the SURPRISING violence of
the water. About eight to ten blocks
above the intersection. of the river
and Fourth street the current
scooped a deep channel right through
residences. Thirty houses, large and
we'll built, were wholly carried away,
just below the iron bridge of the Chi
cago, Milwaukee and st. Paul, and
against it lodged tremendous mass of
debris. Here the houses were smashed
into kindling wood, and it is heaped up
with furniture, railroad ties and piles Of
dead animals.
Two blocks below is the iron bridge
of the elevated road, and here is an
other frightful Judgement. 1t is believed
human bodies will be found in the
masses of debris. s
The city council last night at
a special meeting appropriated $4,000
in aid of the sufferers. The citi-
zens will raise many times the amount.
No appeal will be made for outside as
sistance. The elevated road is crowded
with sight-seere, and from station to
station the tracks were lined with men
and boys. Many were armed with
ropes and long poles and rendered as.

down the river on planks and boxes,

pEACoN's LINE OF DEFENsr,

Hl1S Slayer or ArbeilJe VIII Plead Jusuf
fable Homicide Today.
NICE, May 19.--After final interro
CATION by the judge d'instruction today
Deacon held a conference with his coun-
sci, and line of defense was arranged
for tomorrow's trial. The defense will
be justifable homicide.
When under examination Deacon
rather prejudiced his case by expressing
regret for Abeille's death, adding that
he was ready to and thought he should
suffer some form of punishment. He
probably made the statement unaware
of the fact that unless acquitted, ver-
dict of murder with extenuating circum-
stances implies at least three years.
imprisonment.
During the examination, Deacon and
wife conversed in English. Deacon up
braided her for disgracing the family.
His wife appealed to him to cease his
reprosches; admitted her guilt with
Abeille, and pleaded with her husband
for forgiveness. Deacon reiterated /:
"No, never"
The accusation recites facts already
known, and puts the case favorably for
the accused. Abeille is described after
his introduction to the family, as to have
lost no time in becoming intimate with
Mrs. Deacon. His assiduities, says the
accusation, became SO indiecreet that
they forced the husband to suspect that
Abeille deceived him. The husband saw
details which convinced him his wife
was deceiving him. Instead of taking
strong measure himself. He was dis
posed to get the police to interfere, but
the difficulties he encountered obliged
him to abandon that course. The ac-
cused arrived at Cannes February 18th
to join his wife and family. On the 18th
they took apartments at the Splendid
hotel.
The incidents of the eventful night
are consecutively narrated. At mid
night Deacon goes to the door of his
wife's rooms and hears a noise which
.convinces him she is not alone. He
returns to his own room to get q re.
volver, at the same time warns the sec.
retary of the hotel, who goes with
him. At madame's door they wait
three minutes. Madame opens the door
in her night toilette, holding candle
in her hand. She tries to calm her hus.
band,. but in vain. Thinking it his
duty, he enters, despite the resistance
OF his wife, discovers man whom he
recognizes as Abeille, and fires at him
thrice. Whilst Abeille was raised from
the floor the accused asked the secre.
tary to note the material facts estab'
fishing in fagrante delictu adultery.
The acte, in concluding, says the ac'
cused pleads TO intention to kill, but
that the fury with which he fred thrice
at the victim does not admit the ale
cation.
The only disputable point in the de-
tense, is whether, as he pretends, he
really surprised his wife in fagrants
delictu. Madame denies it. Abeille
was either not able, or die
not desire to furnish any ex
PLANTATION. Although the inquiry o
the judge proved that there wal
much to set aside the aggravation Of tht
circumstances, premeditation proof wa
sufficient to justify the charge of volun
tary homicide. :
