Lives to the Number of ESQ Lost and 16o
Bodies Recovered.
ABERDEEN, Miss, April 14-The water
in the Tombigbee river is subsiding, leav-
ing a black, desolate waste. Late reports
which have reached here indicate that the
loss by the flood will be greater than at
first estimated. From the most reliable
information to be obtained from the food
ed district it is known that the number
of lives lost will reach $50, while all
vestige of household property has been
swept away by the raging torrent. Relief
parties have been sent out and more than
$50 bodies have been recovered. Thousands
of people are rendered homeless and the
suffering is intense. A relief party yesterday
rescued a family of nine persons who had
been adrift on a raft for six days without
q mouthful of food
Driven Insane by Hunger.
They were insane from hunger and went
wild over the sight of food. One of the
party, lad of IA years, had become glib
bering idiot and devoured raw beef like a
Wild beast. A colored woman and her in
Ant were found floating on mattress.
They had been without food for three days
and the babe is so emaciated that it will
die. Her family of eight children were all
drowned. The loss Of property is SO great
that it cannot be accurately estimated al
present Thousands of head of cattle
have perished and the swamps are strewu
with earcasses.

Tho Convention Declines to Instruct, but
Indorses Cleveland.
HARRISBURG, April l4.-The Democratic
convention met here yesterday with q
full attendance of delegates, and was
BeitzhOover was temporary chairman, and
mention in his speech of Cleveland's name
was loudly applauded, as was his eulogy
Of Governor Pattison. Some Hill men
were present and interrupted Beltzhoover
to such an extent that a paragraph he had
in his speech relating to German he was
compelled to omit to save time. Commit
tees were appointed as usual and the con-
vention took recess to $3.50 p. m.
The Convention Organized.
1t was 4:30 before the convention was
ready for business again and the first
thing in order was the credentials com
mittee's report. Twenty seats were con-
tested. There were two reports, one de-
feating all the contestants except four,
and minority report in favor of all the
contestants. The majority report was
adopted, and then after an exciting scene
caused by the minority members of the
Eith things, George Ross was made per-
of the organization committee.
Sentiments of the Platform.
Ross was received with cheers, which
were redoubled whenever he referred to
Cleveland, Pattison, or tariff reform. The
platform declares the Democracy the party
of the people and the custodian of the doc
trines OF Jefferson mentioning in the same
connection Andrew jackson, s. j. Taden,
and Grover Cleveland; advocates honest
money of gold and silver and paperoon-
vertible thereinse without loss; liberal but
not reckless pensions, and economy in gov
ernment. Tariff reform is dsmapded ON
the basis of the national platform OF 1888,
and that is declared the tariff issue.
For Grover Cleveland.
This being the issue the platform de-
cIares that the Pennsylvania Democracy
is overwhelmingly for the denomination of
Cleveland for president, and that the best
interests Of the country demand the same.
The delegates are instructed to vote ss a
unit. but not for any particular man.
Pattison is heartily Endorsed as governor,
and Harrity a. member of the natisnal
committee. An attempt 10 have the dele
gates instructed for Cleveland failed.

his family sought the roof of the house
and watched the water work its way up to

house began to tremble and in a few mo-

from the other. Jones grabbed one of his
children. His wife and the other three
were drowned before his eyes. He held to

work of Ruin.
MEMPHIS, April 4-East Mississippi
has been the scene of the most appall-
ing floods in the history Of the
United States within the last
week, and the world beyond the state
knows little of the destruction of property
and the loss of life that the rise in the
Tombigbee river has entailed. This river
rises in north Alabama and winds its way
south. touching Columbus and forming q
junction with the Alabama few miles
above Mobile bay. The river having its
origin in the mountains of north Alabama
is fed by dozen quick rising mountain
streams that for the last seven days have
been filling it until now above Columbus
1t has assumed the proportions of an in
land sea.
The Rush of the Dark Waters.
Near Columbus the loss of life has been
terrible. Saturday night hundreds of
negroes. families in the bottoms went to
bed feeling secure, but before morning
they were aroused by rush of wa, ers.
Those near the u, lands got away to places
OF safety by daylight, but those in lower
bottoms found escape WAS cut off and they
ciambered to the tops of their rickety huts
in hopes that in few hours tho waters
would subside. But the rain poured down
In torrents all of Sunday and the water
bound prisoners saw that their only hope
OF escape was boats that they thought
their landlords would send to bring them
to dry land.
Forgotten by the LandIords.
But the land owners did not appreciate
the dire necessities Of the poor wresches
until many houses had been swept away
and their occupants drowned. A letter
was received here last night from one Of
the sufferers, and his story told in simple
negro dialect is heartrending: "The cat
tie" says he stook to the high places,
and For sustenanes began to devosr the
branches of trees. Chickens Few to the
