FLOODS IN INDIANA.
Bridges Go Down and the Waters Spread.
Drownings Reported.


INDIANAPOLIS, June 1.-The flood
continues to increase in magnitude and
disasters are reported on every hand.
White river and Fall creek are food
ing all contiguous territory and many
bridges in this vicinity are expected TO
succumb to the raging waters before
the day is over. Several persons are
reported drowned this morning and the
indications now are that Indianapolis is
about to experience the worst flood in
her history.
Reports from points throughout the
State tell of great havoc wrought by
the waters. In the vicinity OF Wabash
many miles OF farming land are inun-
dated. The Wabash river is out of its
banks, and Andrews county resembles
an immense lake. No corn has been
planted in this county, and the farmers
are growing desperate. Several large
factories are now under water and work
has been suspended.
at Markeville the Michigan division
of the Big Four has been washed out
for distance of 300 feet and freight
traffic has been almost entirely aban-
doned. Six hundred feet of the track
is washed out at Jonesboro.
At Farmland a wreck occurred on
the Big -Four and trains were delayed
several hours. A freight running
twenty miles an hour divided and
jumped the track. Elmer Apple, a
brakeman, was horribly mangled and
Conductor King were slightly injured.

Ssseias aslsoram to the Register.
PARKERsBURG, w. VA, June 1.-The
scare over the smallpox epidemic at
Pomeroy and other towns below is on
the increase here. The health officers
have Guaranteed this city against all
persons coming from the afflicted dis
tricts. Eight quarantine officers have
been placed at the depot and
steamboat landings. A man
named Sackett, who came
here yesterday with his family from
Pomeroy after that town had been
quarantined, was ordered to leave the
city, together with his family. Sackett
and his family had been mixing with
their old friends and acquaintance here
Just as though there had been no
risk, and they leave considerable de-
gree of discomfort. The steamboatmen
say to-day that the "Valley Belle"
which has heretofore run between
Ravenswood, Pomeroy and Syracuse,
has laid up below Ravenswood, the
authorities of that town having notified
the boat that they could not
land there II they continued
to run to the infected districts. They
also report several cases back Of Letart
in this State and two at Letart oppo-
site. Several cases are reported at
Minersville and two at Syracuse. 1t
has been denied that the disease was
smallpox, but kilograms from the Off
Gals to-day admit it.

PIONEERS PICNIC.
ONE OF THE OLDEST SOCIETIES JOLLIFY At
THE PARK.
Speeches By Dr.. Ulrieh, Mayor Seabrghtand Others
A Season Of Literary and Social Enjoyment
- A ROlhcksoma Day.

The Pioneer Society, a social organl-
zatIon, composed of the older members
of German society, had their annual
picnic at the Park yesterday, and a
right rorieking time they had. This
is the eleventh or twelfth time this
society had had a social reunion in the
shape Of an outing, and Joy seems to In
crease with every recurring event.
The Pioneer Society is composed OF
some one hundred members, and was
organized about twelve years ago, one
OF the provisions Of the Club being that
the members shall have been here at
least TWENTY-FIVE years before being ell
gible 10 membership. There are many
members I'm the organization az
present well advanced in years,
several being septuagenariaDS, ana
a few OctOgenarianS. Still IN any
OF them are yet imbued with
the spirit Of youth and activity as was
evidenced az The picnic yesterday when
ali INDUCED In varied frOlicS 10 their
hearts delight. There were present,
also. many of the wives OF the members,
and pioneer widows as WELL and all
formed a most jolly, cOngenial gather
ing.
Music was furnished by the full Opera
House Band and orchestra, the mu-
siclans going out on the 10 o'clock mo-
tor. Nearly all the organizations were
present at . o'clock when the literary
exercises opened In the absence OF
August WiederbuSh, President OF the
society, the Vice President, DR.. Ulrich
presided and made an eloquent opening
address. Mayor Seabright followed In
an outpour of eloquence, speaking Ia
three anguages-German, English and
Low Dutch. Peter Ziegler, one OF the
oldest members Of the organization,
nearly eighty years OF age, then delly-
cred & poem, which was heartily ap-
preciated. Mr.. Myer, solicitor for the
Fire and Marine Insurance Company,
also well along in years, read poem
that ,rly conyuISed the large assem-
blsl
1t was originally intended to have had
march around the park headed by the
band in the early part OF the evening
had the weather been favorable, but In
view of the storm that prevailed at that
time the march was postponed, and in
stead a more direct march was made for
the 5 o'clock motor when all came into
town. For an organization where nearly
all the members are ripe with years,
they are energetic and possessed OF re-
markable vitality. May the Pioneer
Club long live.

That Mailer Matter.

Said Sheriff Steenrod yesterday:
II have just had a controversy with
two reporters about the Maier matter.
What the REGISTER stated this morning
is correct, and l so told them. They
tried TO have it different, but they found
out il wouldn't do. They saw the
wrong man. saw Mr.. Dimmy,
the TAILOR, and be said the gentlemen
came to the Jail, ana he locked them in
the corridor, suppoSing they would stay
about an hour. He went back TO the
Office, and before be could hang the
keys up they raped to be let out. You
can Judge for yourself how long the
visit lasted. 1t would be about two or
three minutes. / also told the reporters
that the REGISTER man knew about the
request on Monday, but had said moth
ing about 1t in print. l never asked any
minister to see Maier, and the only
thing Deputy Bentz did was to walk up
10 the Jail with them. l have made en-
Quiries and the REGISTER is right. The
statement that I went to see the minis
ter is false"
Mr.. ConifT, Of counsel for Maier, said
yesterday:
Il was glad to see the item in the
REGISTER yesterday. The article about
Maier was untrue and sensational.

ACCEPTED AT LAST.

The Durham Miners, After Their Long
Strike, Finally Take n Ten Per Cent. Re-
duction.
LONDON, June 1.-The long strike Of
the Durham coal miners was ended TO-
day, and the men will Immediately re-
sumo work at the reduction in their
wages which the strike was inaugurated
10 prevent. A meeting Of representa-
tives Of the Durham Miners Federation
and the Coal-mine Owners Association
was held to-day, at which the question
of wages was discussed at great length.
For time the masters held out
against letting the men return to work
at the 10 cents reduction which the
miners offered TO accept, and insisted
upon making thirteen per cent. reduc-
tlon. Finally; however, they changed
their attitude and accepted the PROPOSE
ton made by the men to go back to
work at a ten per cent reduction.
The strike began March II, when near
ly all the miners in England quit work
for the purpose of causing such an ad-
vance in the price of coal as would pre-
vent the mine owners from having an
excuse TO reduce wages.

Yager's second attempt to raise him

time he was knocked ont entirely, not
