II. Henry Work is n well-known New York
lawyer Colonel James went to the metropolis
from Ogdensburg in 1881 to practice law Work
asked James ii he wanted to make some money.
James said he mad no objections. Mr. Work
told him that the firm of Grant & Ward had
some very valuable contracts with the govern
ment, and other contracts as well. If he in
vested money in them he could earn to 10 per
cent. in thirty days. Mr.. Work told him that
there was a secret about the contracts, and that

known about them. He said that he and Will
lam s. Warner were very close to the firm, and
that all the transactions that Colonel James
might enter into would be carried on through
them. Colonel James invested 5000 and re-
ceived a memorandum which bore the name of
Grant d Ward at the bottom, and which guar
anteed him $3.50 in thirty days. When the

CHICAGO, April 11.-Judge Scales, of the
probate court. received a singular letter
today. 1t was dated "Cell No. 49, stone, San
Quentin prison, California" and protested
against permitting the will of Alonzo
Wood being carried into effect. The letter
was signed from Frederick Lansing Wood,
and declares that the will is the culmina-
ton of conspiracy lasting through a
series of years. Alonzo Wood was one
of the pioneer citizens of Chicago
and died recently, leaving an
estate of $4,000. An examination
will bring to light the cause of the disin-
heritance of the son Frederick, as he has
been given more opportunities than any
of the testator's other children, and yet
repeatedly threatened the life of his father.
The son. according to the will, is in prison
for murder

The Ameer Prefers the British,

BOMBAY, April 1.-THE Gazette pub
fishes state paper which the ameer of
Aighanistan has issued. 1t recites the
events that led up to the Penjdeh Incl
dent and the ameer's reason for preferring
British to Russian friendship. The smeer
says Russia only wants Afghanistan as
high road to India and would place the
Aighans in the van of her army as a
special target for English cannons and
rifles. The Russians would strip the
Afghans of their arms and food and out
rage and murder their women because thew
must destroy the Afghans to obtain India.
Therefore, the ameer declares, friendship
between the Russians and Afghans is next
TO impossible. Shere Ali. who, when
ameer in 1878. became involved in a war
with the British, was. according to the
present ameer, fool and madcap to bring
such woe upon his people and ruin upon
himself

Hungry Men Contradict Him.
LONDON, April lin addressing a
meeting of unemployed workmen today
John Moore Packer promised to in
augurate an agitation that would surpass
that of Trafalgar square. Unless speedy
relief is afforded thousands of men would
rise up and demand work. Another
speaker trusted that before the end of the
month such large demonstrations would
be held as would oblige the authorities to
open large relief works for the unem-
ployed.
In presenting the budget in the house of
commons today, Goschen, chancellor of
the exchequer, said good fortune again
permitted him to submit the budget show
ing surplus of 81 1867 900. In the last
budget the estimate for expenditures was
too large and they had surplus there of
1885, 900. The customs produced f19. 1885,
oo0 Tobacco. not alcohol, caused the in
crease. The revenue tax from tea yielded
$4,000 over the estimate. Tobacco pro-
duced $685., 600. All this, Goschen de-
clared, proved that wages had not fallen
and that there was widely diffused pros
perity among the workingmen. The ex-
else revenue was f543 900 over the esti-
mate. The increased consumption of
home spirits was greater in England than
in Ireland or Scotland. More spirits are
consumed than beer

year at ESQ, 477,000 and the expenditures

ton in patent fees and on sparkling wines.

GREATLOSS BY FLOOD
The Red River of the North
Out Of Its Channel.
TOMBIGBEE BIGGER THAN EVER.
Corpses Of Hundred Negroes Floating
Down to Sea-A Terrible Blow to
Mississippi Farmers. .

81. PAUL, April 11.-Reports received
here from st. Vincent say the Red river is
over its banks and flooding that place and
Emerson. This afternoon the water was
forty feet above low water mark and still
rising. Indications are that the disastrous
flood of 1880 will be repeated and as the
towns are more populous the damage will
be greater.
COLUMBUS, Miss, April 11-Later indi-
cations are that the loss by flood was
greater than ct first reported. 1t may,
therefore, be expected that at least 100
negroes were drowned IN this county
alone. All the farms in the Tombigbee
River valley have been abandoned, the
fencing Is gone. the houses washed away,
cattle and mules by the hundreds
drowned, and many houses have passed
down the river. Every available craft is
in use day and night, carrying out food
and bringing in destitute people. The
negroes on the lowlands lost everything
they possessed. Twelve negroes were
drowned within three miles of the city.
At points below the loss of life
is large. Trains were abandoned on
all the railways leading westward and
there were many washouts. The waters
receded, but are again rising. Three negro
boys were drowned above town. A rescu-
ing party was upset and spent twenty
three hours in trees.
MOBILE, Ala, April 1.-THE Tombigbee
river has not since 1S47 had so sudden and
great flood as at present. The farmers
on the river we're wholly unpro-
tected, and from Columbus, Miss,
to Fulton the loss of hogs
cattle, mules and cotton seed is unprece-
denied. Much farming machinery was
swept away and people rendered destitute.
A great deal of corn and cotton is under
water. Mules, horses and cattle are seen
daily floating down the river. About eight
feet additional rise is expected.

Mormon Elder. Fam to Work Miracles

Mormon Elders Fail to Work Miracles
INDEPENDENCE. Mo-. April 1.-THE base
ment of the temple of the church of Lat
ter Day Saints looked like hospital today.
The elders in attendance advertised that
they would heal the sick by the laying on
of hands and many persons suffering with
various ailments were taken to the temple,
some on stretchers, some on cots and some
in chairs, to be attended. The manner of
treatment was very simple. and con-
sisted of pouring few drops of
olive oil, which had previously been
blessed by the Prophet Joseph
upon the head of the patient and the lay
ing on of hands. No cures we're effected
although some professed that they ex-
perienced some relief. At the business
session the conference decided to hold the
next conference in April, 1898, at Lamont,
Ia, the home of Joseph Smith.
