FLOODS EXPELLEDTHEM
Business Men of GaIena, Ill.,, Fled
for Their Lives.
THE WATER SEVEN FEET DEEP
4 Bridge Destroyed and Railroads
Biocked-A Terrific Rainfall Produces
Disastrous Results I'm Galena-Tracks
Covered, and Business at an End.

GALENA, Ills, June 25.-The terrific
rainfall of Wednesday night and Thurs
day has proved the most disastrous of
any storm ever experienced In this local
ity. The Galena river rose at the rate of
an inch a minute, and Main street was
flooded. Rowboats were resorted to as
the only means of crossing streets and
obtaining entrance to some buildings.
The Easements and lower floors Of
every business house in town were food
cd with deep water. At the Lawrence
hotel the water stood seven feet deep on
the dining room floor and at the Euro
-pean hotel the -paFlor hoof-was several
feet under water. Business men attempt
ing to rescue books and papers found
themselves up to their necks In water in
their own Offices and were obliged to
leave everything In order to escape with
their lives.
The custom house floor was flooded two
feet deep, also the floor of the Merchants
Bank, in which building is located the
Western Union telegraph Office. The
wires OF that company were out of order
owing to the storm and good. The up
per bridge owned by the Illinois Central,
laden freight cars, broke away and was
hurled into the river, ballast and all.
The heavy iron structure known as the
Green street bridge was carried of COM
pletely. Landslides obstructed the rail-
roads, as many as 20 of these obstructions
covering the Burlington and Northern
track between Gaiena and Galena Juno
tion, a distance OF three miles.
Seven miles OF the Northwestern track
were washed away. The total amount Of
damage done to property cannot be esti-
mated. The heaviest individual losses
will fall on the lumber dealers.

CROKER FOR MAYOR
A. Fine Outcome 'Twould be Of
CIeveIand's Nomination.
BUT TAMMANY CAN DICTATE.
It Secs Its Chance to Make It's Own
Terms With the Grace Faction -
Cleveland Will Ply the Penalty II
They Refuse.
ESPECIAL TO THE SEws.I

NEW YORK, June 25-Will Richard Gro
ker take the bull by the horns and run
for mayor himself this fall : AS startling
as the question may appear. it is being
answered in the affirmative by some Of
the shrewd Tammeny men.
The reason for Tammany's hostility to
Mr.. Cleveland is not a personal one. II
is because the whole anti-snap movement
was engineered by ex-Mayor Grace, whose
definite purpose it was to discredit Tam
many. He has been Tammany's most
willy opponent for years. and the nomina-
tion of Mr.. Cleveland is looked upon by
the wigwam as triumph, therefore, of
its most bitter foe
But Mr.. Croker can now compel Messrs.
Grace, Anderson, Canda aud other So
called reform Democrats to keep hands
off the mayoraity contest this fall. And
he can compel them by simply saying
We will knife Cleveland IL you do not
keep hands Off" Even more than this,
Mr.. Croker has an opportunity to say
You must support me. i propose to
run for mayor and be elected. IL you
prevent it Cleveland shall pay the
penalty"
This is a truly unique and interesting
situation in the political drama. Ashbel
f. Fitch Is one OF the shrewd Tammany
men who does not hesitate to say that
Tammany has the game In its own hands
now so far any would-be holting- Demo
Gratis are concerned, and ,that Mr.. Croker
can nominate himself or place Thomas +.
Gilroy in nomination, an act which
would fire the Tammany heart and which
would mean Tammany against the whole
town.
Some may consider this desperate poll
tics. There are those who say it would
be the shrewdest kind of a move for Rich
ard Croker, who is a proud man who
wishes ''vindicationo of "a broader char
acter than when he was elected alderman
for "vindication" on the charge of shoot
ing John McKenna.
Should Mr.. Croker conclude to force
the situation as put in his hands through
the nomination of Mr.. Cleveland it would
be one of those strokes in politics which,
il successful, would be called genius.
But il it failed!

New YORK, June 25.--Back from the
warpath came many of the Tammany
braves last night. No scalps hung to
their girdles and they carried no trophies
of conflict on the ends of their spears.
Some were lame some were worn with
strife and some were sorely wounded.
Forth to battle they had gone bedecked
and bedizened with tiger claws and SER

At Altoona and Harrisburg, Pa, there

Pa, a crowd Of children shouted, "Hooray

cheers heard for Cleveland from Chicago

the car at Lancaster, Pa. the home of
Attorney -Generel Hensel, and said that
the feeling toward Cleveland was nothing
like what Mr.. Hensel had represented 1t
to be In his speech seconding the nomina-
uion.

for Cleveland to win. He was one of the
delegates who wanted the New York dele

Dickinson, and other members of Mr..

"He did want it. He was to have gone

THE SECRET is OUT NOW
Boss Carroll Did Attempt a Honey
Deal.
A SNAP ELECTION AT CHICAGO.
The Democratic State Central Committee
VIII not Rratify 1.-THE Strange Per-
formance Of the Supposed Anti Honey
Manhood for Reflection.

A Democrat who accompanied the
RHODE ISLAND delegation to Chicago,
returned home this morning, and he gives
an interesting account of the funny busi-
ness which was done there by Boss Car
roll.
Carroll" said he, "was elected del
egate TO the Chicago Convention, by the
delegates to the State Convention, on the
strict understanding that he would op-
pose and defeat Samuel r. Honey. who
was coming up for reelection as MEM
Der of the national committee.
About two weeks ago Carroll sud
IDENTIFY ceased to confer with his old
friends, such AS Gen. Brennan, who were
seeking TO depose Honey aud he was not
seen in any Of his customary haunts in
town;
but no absolute belief of treachery was
Then Carroll showed his hand
and went over to Honey, taking Nichols
of Warren with him.
''On the first ballot the delegates stood
four and four, for Honey and Page. That
was the way they stood until after the
National convention adjourned, when a
snap meeting was held, the Honey men
catching the Page men when the latter
were short one man aud Honey was de-
clared elected by u vote of four, to three
for Page.
''The delegates then started for home
and now that they are here you may look
for fun. We maintain That that Chicago
election is null aud void, and tnat mas
much as the vacancy was not filled by the
national convention, the State central
committee must name the man. This
same idea find is entertained generally
in the party. and we shall call a meeting
of the State central committee and
straighten out the mess. All the trouble
that was made at Chicago was raised by
Carroll, who hopes to defeat Page in the
second congressional district convention.
But he won't"
