A BIRD IN HER STOMACH.

Remarkable Development Following the
Death of u Child-IIow Did the Bird Get
There?
FALL RIVER, Mass, May 2S.-The
local medical profession is much inter-
csted in the following well authenti-
Gated fact, reported by DR.. Casgrain a
res ectable physician of this city. Vic.
toria Berube, aged six years, died Sat.
urday noon, after remaining uncon-
scious for twenty-four hours, She had
been in delicate health for two years
Wednesday she went from home to
school, and shortly afterward was taken
sick, vomiting black substance. DR..
Casgran was called, and found
the patient insensible. He was
unable to resusctatc her. Two hours
before her death Saturday noon, she
vomited dark reddish substance,
which on examination was found to
contain a partially formed bird. The
doctor declines to advance any theory,
but will report the facts shortly to the
local medical society. A prominent
physician advances the theory that the
child may have eaten parboiled, half
hatched egg. The beak Of the bird
may have become inbedded in the
walls of the stomach. This theory is
strengthened by the fact That symptoms
of gastro-enterits preceded death.

ST. LOUIS, May 24.-Great alarm is
felt over the potato outlook. The big
American bottom, comprising nearly all
Of Madison and st. Louis counties, H.,
is one of the greatest potato fields in
the Mississippi valley. 1t is now com.
pletely inundated, and not potato
will it produce. Its farmers devote
their time principally to raising pota'
toes and cabbages, and had there been
no flood the potato crop would have
commenced moving about July l, fifteen
days later than usual on account Of the
late season. Now there are no potatoes
to move. Every hill of them is now
under from six inches to ten feet OF
water, and every potato will be rotted.
The cabbage crop will also be ruined.
1t is impossible to estimate the loss

DOWN TO DEATH.
The Warship Solimoes Strikes q
Rock, Going at Full Speed,
And Is Totally Wrecked, All But Four Of
Her Crew Drowned-1he Vessel Filled
Before the sailors We're Able to
Ascend to the Upper Deck.

LONDON, May 23.-A dispatch from
Montevideo says that the Brazilian
turret ship Solimoes was wrecked off
Cape Santa Maria, near the mouth Of
the Rio de la Plata, while en- route to
Matto-Grosso, and that but five Of the
crew were saved, 1870 men being
drowned.
The Solimoes was one of the YES
sells sent by the Brazilian govern
ment with reinforcements to suppress
the rising in the state of Matto-Grosso.
Capt. Castrot was among the drowned.
The flotilla had come on ahead OF
the Solimocs, and was up the rive r
awaiting her arrival in order Il rro-
coed by way of the Paraguay liver to
the scene Of the revolt. At the same
time that the flotilla left Rio, land
force was sent by rail. 1t was to &c 10
the end of the railroad route and then
march into Matto-Grosso, where, after
being joined by the troops from the
tlotilla, the combined forces were to at
tack the capital of the state.
The crew of the ship numbered 1877
men. AS she was fitted out for active
service 1t is probable that she did not
carry any small boats. Owing to the
dangerous nature of the low and sandy
uruguayan sea-coast, she had pilot
aboard. Just as the Solimoes was of
Potonlo island, near Point Negra Cas-
tillos, she struck rock violently, bows
on. The sea was very rough at the
time All the crew were under matches,
except four sailors and the pilot. Two
of the sailors acted as lookouts, the 9TH
ers were at the wheel.
Through the immense hole made in
her hull the water rushed so fast and
furious that the vessel sank almost i'm
mediatcly. OF ali her crew only the
four sailors who were on deck saved
their lives. The pilot also escaped.
One hundred and twcnty-three lives
were lost The unfortunate men did
not even get chance to gain the deck.
They were drowned like rats in hole.
AS the water poured in the victims
seemed instantly to realize their danger,
and made frantic but unavailing effort
to dash open the hatchways. Their
cries were heartrending.
The Solimoes was two-turrotcd
monitor, built of iron in England, and
launched in 1875. Her displacement
was $500 tons

MILES ON THE BIKE.

The General Gives His Opinion OF the
Bicycle Trial.
CHICAGO, May 24--''Its dangerous
achievement, said Gen. Miles. He was
speaking Of the bicycle riders, and their
stubborn fight through the mud of five
states, The fact that the message did
not arrive in New York within sched-
ule time was no surprise to him.
The trip was remarkable success, 81
said he. This experimental ride has
established the fact that the bicycle
would be of practical service in the
army, and it has also been of service in
calling attention to the wretchcl condi.
ton OF the public highways in com.
munities that profess to be tolcrably
well civilized. The matter of good
roads should receive more attention
than it has been given"
Docs the success of the experiment
prove anything as to the use of the
at confirms me in the belief that the
bicycle will be extensively used, and
that very soon. The wheelman can
travel faster than the horseman, he
makes no noise, does not form as large
target for the enemy, and, even if he
can not go some places where the horse
man can, in more instances he can go
where no horse could follow. The BIZ
cycle will certainly be used in the army.
| would not advise the use Of the light
weight speeding machines, as | notice
that some of them broke down under
the hard travel a stout wheelman of
medium weight would be required"

ing in the flooded districts. In
the various sections of the city prop.
or the condition remains much tho
same. In north st. Louis nearly ten
million feet Of lumber is floating about,
almost ready to go down the river if tho
current sets into the west strongly
enough. Ct Louis county, north and
west Of the city, is still under the water
flowing back from the Missouri and
Meraman rivers. Many bridges over
the latter stream have gone down, pre-
SeDting traffic over country roads.
Across and below the city at East
Caron1clet the situation is worse than
1t has been before thought possible.
AS long ago as last Monday night the
leyees protecting the little town broke
and almost swept it from the face of
the earth, and this in the face of eff
forts night and day to keep the levee
from breaking. 1t broke at 1880 p.
IN. and in ten minutes there was four
feet of water in every house in the
little hamlet. Many houses were carried
away, but despite the handicap of dark.
ness SO far as known no lives were lost.
The true state Of affairs was not learned
this side Of the river until Thursday.
No aid could be sent across because OF
the high winds, but Friday an effort
was made to aid the 800 or more people
now in the second stories or on the
roofs of their flooded dwellings.
The railroad situation is one degree
worse. The Vandalia tracks are washed
ont for thousand feet near the Venice
belt crossing. This leaves only the
Ohio & Mississippi road unframed To
the west little trouble is experienced.
At East st. Louis there is no change.
At Brooklyn, H., opposite the north
ern end of this city, the baclwater from
below has completely isolated the little
village which is now under two to five
feet of water In South st. Louis the
damage already done is almost beyond
belief. The water has reached far back
into the thickly settled section. Many
manufactures are menaced while 9TH
ers have for the past ten days been shut
down one by one as the waters rose
Over 1900 persons in this section Of
the town have been thrown ont of work.
Factory owners are viewing the situa-
ton very seriously. Some OF them have
lost thousands Of dollars and they do
not know to what extent the river will
damage them. The damages in this
portion Of the city will exceed $4,000.

Does tho Work.

PARIS, May 24.-The wife of well
known club man has for some time past
suspected that her husband was carry.
Ing on liason with the wife of an
official high in the government. As
soon as her husband left the house Sat.
urday night she hastily threw on her
wraps and followed him. He entered
house in the Qaurtier L'Europe. His
wife remained outside for some time,
and then entered She discovered tho
apartments her husband had
entered. The door of the room was
locked, but the Infatuated woman
threw herself against it and forced it
open. Inside were her husband and
the wife of the official The evidence
was complete. The wrongcd wife had
revolver in the pocket OF her dress.
Drawing her weapon she advanced
upon the woman, who had crouched in
abject fear in corner of the room, and,
deliberately aiming at her, fired. The
bullet struck home. The wounded
woman begged piteously to be spared.
But she appealed in vain. Again and
again did the revolver fash, until five
bullets had taken effect.
During the shooting the husband, it
is said, stepped forward to disarm his
wife, but she turned on him, and threat
ened to kill him if he advanced another
foot. Other people in the house rushed
to the apartment, but none dared TO
place hand upon the woman.
After the cartridges in the revolver
were exhausted, the wife calmly await

been summoned, and then quietly signi-
fled her desire to be taken away from
the place. The wounded woman died
in Il few hours
The name Of the murderess is Madame

sevcrest Ever Known, Followed by Floods.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, May 20,-Reports
Df damage from the storms are coming
in from all over the northwest, the
rains of the past twcnty-fow hours
having been especially severe. Violent
wind storms have greatly increased the
damage. At Croollston, Mimi, Red
Lake river rose four feet Wednesday
night, and is still rising, the heavy
rains having been getting in their work.
At Madison, Mimi, Thursday. the
rain continued to fall thick and fast.
The town is nearly under water, and
there are thousands of acres of grain
here that will be drowned out. A heavy
rain-storm, accompanied by violent
wind, struck Lakefeld Wednesday night
and Thursday. Five inches of water fell
in eighteen hours Sloughs are flooded,
lakes full, roads impossible and many
small bridges washed away. Several
washouts are reported along the rail.
way.
One of the most severe storms of the
year struck Duluth, Mimi, Thursday.
The rain has been falling twcnty-four
hours, and the wind blew thirty-tive
miles an hour from the northwest, All
the ice at the head of the lake
| is now piled up ten to twenty feet
high before the entrance to the har'
Dor of Superior. At Ninth avenue,
east, where Superior street crosses
n ravinc, deep cut has been made by
the swollen stream, and half the width
of the street washed out, including the
street railway tracks. But little other
damage has been done by the storm. Cap
tains of incoming steamers report terri
tic weather on the big lake, and look
for serious losses. On the north shore,
near Port Arthur, the wind is reported
TO be blowing seventy miles an hour.
