WESTERN FLOODS
Hundreds of Houses Washed Away
Dead Bodies Floating Down the
River - Trouble About
Cutting a Dixie.
Cutting a Dixie

ST. LOUIS, May 16.-Opposite Jeffer-
son Barracks a number of houses were
undermined by the food and wrecked.
1t is believed that all the occupants
escaped. On Mullanphy island, 25
miles north of st. Louis, in the Missouri
fourteen women and children were
rescued by a volunteer corps. Several
dead bodies have been seen floating in
the water. Most of them evidently
came from a long distance. 1t is now
a common sight to see small houses
and various articles of furniture travel
ling past. All railroad traffic over the
Eads bridgehas been abandoned, owing
to the flooded tracks in Illinois. The
Burlington, Alton and other roads run
passenger trains in over the Merchants
Bridge. The Walker soap works,
Latin powder company's depot, Meyer
& Hanson's fertilizing company's estab-
lishments, and several diaries and
stopped. About two hundred more
houses have been wrecked.
The most serious aspect is found near
Venice. Between there and Joplin is
a small dixie: the water backing up on
the Brooklyn side is flooding several
fine farms, and the owners of these
went down yesterday morning to cut
the dixie, as by doing this the water
would run through on the Venice side,
where the land islower. The Venitians,
however, are satisfied with the amount
of water they possess. and about twenty
of them, armed with shot guns, pat
rolled the dixie to prevent any attempt
to cut it The Brooklyn men are said
as determined to drain their side. Up
to midnight, no serious trouble was
reported, but both sides were on the
alert. and a conflict may eDsue.

BURIED ALIVE.

BUTTE, Mont, May 17.-An appalling
accident occurred at the Anaconda
mines Saturday. Twelve men were
caught in a cave in that took place
from the SEQ level down to the 500.
The ground at the place where the &C
cident occurred is sloped more or less
all the way out, so when it gave way
at the 800 level, all above, as stated,
gave way too. The accident is simply
one of those unavoidable occurrences
that may be expected at any time, but
cannot be foreseen or prevented. There
were a dozen men working in the slope
near the 500 level and at various dis
tances down from it. They were all
caught in the cave. Three of them
were near the top and were rescued
alive, but badly injured. The other
nine are so covered with debris, rocks
and timbers that life must have at once
been crushed out of them. The bodies
of three have so far been recovered.
Ali were unmarried. The work of re-
covering the others is slowly proceed
ing, but has to be undertaken with
care. Only meager particulars r yet

BosToN's Jack THE sTABBER.'

Boston, May IL Jack the Stab
Der" is the wicked appellatiOn popu-
larIy given to a wretch-a Frenchman
he is thought to be-who has punctured
two or three Cambridge women with
a stiletto during the past week. The
fellow frequents a secluded part of
Cambridgeport, where the streets are
Ill lighted.
Jacks first victim was a young mar
ried woman named Walsh. He at
tempted to force her over an embank-
ment on to the marsh near Charles
river. When she screamed he drew
the stiletto, but foot steps were heard
and he fed.
Last Thursday night a second woman
was similarly treated. Friday night
Mrs. Annie L. Young had an experience
with him, and as a result she is con
fined to her bed with an ugly wound
in the feshy part of her leg.
Mrs. Young describes Jack as an I'M
couth looking individual of powerful
build, between twenty and thirty years
of age, and apparently a Frenchman.
He followed her, and when she turned
to enter her house he lifted her skirt
and plunged his stiletto into her. The
men in the locality are keeping a bright
lookout for the scoundrel, and it will
go hard with him if he is caught.

WASHINGTON, May 17.-The Supreme
Court has unanimously decided that
the issue by the B. & 0. Railway Of
what are known as party rate tickets,
for the transportation of ten or more
passengers on INT ticket at a reduced
rate are not in violation of the provis-
ions of the inter state commerce law,
and, therefore may be continued.
BRISTOL, Tenn, May 18.-Word
comes from Norton, Va, that Ira Null
Inns, a desperate of the TaltOn Hall
stripe, who lived near the border, was
shot from ambush and killed Saturday
while crossing Round Gap. Revenge
is the presumed motive, as his money
was not taken. His wife, brother in
law, the driver and two horses were
also killed.
LEXINGTON, N. c., May 17.-George
Beck, living in Conrad Hill township,
ten miles southeast of Lexington, was
instantly killed yesterday by a falling
limb from a tree on which he and
others were chopping. Young Beck was
about thirty years old. He leaves a
wife and two young children. He was
a son of w. A. Beck, who represented
Davidson county in the last legisla-
tire.
