Over q Foot or Water i'm the Streets
Of Muir, Mich. As High as in
1857.

OMAHA, March 13 - Advices from
points on the North, Middle and South
Loup rivers, in the central portion of
the state, report great damage being
done along these streams by high water
and ice gorges. The same state of affairs
exists in the case OF Cedar creek, which
flows into the main Loup near Fuller
ton. The rain of Tuesday light swelled
Cedar creek beyond the banks, and
caused the ice to move. Several
bridges on the branch of the Union
Pacific were carried out. Friday q
gorge formed just above Fullerton ~and
the water rose and spread over the M
toms to the depth of 2 feet, but i1s@
rious damage resulted. This Kox4e
broke and the Immense body ofa icc
came down the river, reaching ne
Union Pacific main line bridge at Co
lumbus, carrying out the two east
spans of the iron structure.
Several spans of the Burlington and
Missouri wooden bridge over the Platte
just below the confluence with the
Loup east of Columbus, were carried out
at noon.

GRAND RIVER GORGED.


A Foot OF Water In Houses on Main
= Street at Muir.
DETROIT. Mich. March IA special
to The News from Muir, Mich. says:
The expected ice gorge has formed in
Grand river about three miles down, ex-
tending thence up to within few rods
of the Lyons dam. When this open
space is filled in with ice the rush of the
water will then be turned through the
streets of Lyons At Muir the water Is
already at the highest point reached
during the dood OF 1881 Parties living
on Main Streat east have been forced
out bN IA foot of water on
their kdors. The livery barns,
factories Ind ciler mill on Water street
have feH of water ON the first floor,
while the Opera House block, corner of
Prairie AND Main streets, has 1-2 feet
of water ih>the basement. The water
is still rjang Yapidly. In 1887 the ice
gorge turned the Grand river from it's
bed through the business portion of
Lyons. Buildings were swept away or
tumbled> over, their Nominations being
undermined -stnrefronts were broken
out by the food and goods carried down

Ulster Men in Earnest i'm Their Threats
of War

ulster Men IN Earnest in Their Threats
of War.
LoND@N, March 13.-Facts have come
to light which show both that the us
ter Uhionists are in earnest in their
threats of civil war and also that the
government is resolute and vigilant in
steps to prevent an outbreak. The Bel
fast News Letter asserts that firm in
Ulster recently ordered 100000 Martini
rifles from English manufacturers The
manufacturers referred the order to the
British government for advice as to
whether it should be complied with
The government reply was of such
nature that the manufacturers
replied to the Ulster firm that they
were not permitted to execute the
order. This is considered as showing
that the government means to enforce
the order recently issued that no arms
shall be admitted to Ireland without
permission from the Dublin authorities.

New York. March 13.-R. G.. Dun
q Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
Business during the past week has been af-
fectad by the severe weather but even more by
the stringency and uncertainty in the money
markets. Rates for money have amounted
from 51a on call to per cent. and for two days
ruled as high as 10 per cent. but the extreme
pressure has abated without any measure of

but none of Importance in products and 1t Is
evident that the restraint of exports by specu-

TOLEDO. o., March 13.-The Lake

Ann Arbor cars, but as yet the officials

LACKS CONFIRMATION.
No One Knows About the Big Iron
Deal

No One Knows About the Big Iron
Deal.
NEW York, March 13.-The report
that Representative of the Gogebic
Verinillion and Mesaba iron mining dis
tricts had had a meeting in this city
and effected an agreement that
amounted to an iron ore trust could not
be verified here. None of the iron men,
mining engineers or manufacturers, to
be found, know anything about it.
Andrew Carnegie, while saying that
he had heard nothing about the for
nation of such trust. was of
the oppinion that it would avail
little if il were formed. With
finished steel selling at "a cent pound
Bessemer iron ore at S13.5 ton and o
tariff of but rs cents ton on iron ore,
he said it was his opinion that an iron
ore trust could not last long. The con-
ditions were against it and to make 1t a
success congress would have to go to
work to increase. the tariff.

PAY THE POPULIsTs.
A Bill for That Purpose Passes the
Kansas Legislature.


Kansas Legislature.
TOPEKA. Kan, March 13.-The house
has passed the senate legislative ap-
preparation bill, which provides for the
payment of the late Dunsmore house
employes. Twenty-three Republicans
voted with the Populists for the bill.
The senate announced that unless
the house passed this bill that no fur
ther appropriation of any character
would lie passed, thus threatening to
tie up number of STATE institutions
This brought the Republicans to time.
The Australian ballot bill as amended
by the house has passed the senate.
The amendment is particularly objec-
Etionable to Democrats. as it prohibits
the appointment of judges of elections
from any party which fused with an
other party at the next preceding cleo
tion. This practically prohibits Dem
ocrats from acting on election boards at
the next election.

of four cars during the night, which
pulled out OF the Pennsylvania Broad

RAILWAYS AGGRESSIVE.
They VIII Force the Fight Unless
Switchmen Capitulate.

CHICAGO. March 13.-There is no
change in the situation among the
switchman. Everything is moving
smoothly in and about the various rail-
way yards. As far as the men are con-
cerned and SO Far as can be learned
there is no talk of strike. On the other
hand. the railways are known to have
agents employed all over the country
who are employing men on condition
that they will take the places of strik-
ers, and they are guaranteed police pro-
lection.
The local grievance committees rep
resenting all the roads in Chicago and
all the men interested will hold secret
session soon and the whole matter will
be thoroughly discussed, The future
course to be pursued will be settled at
this session.

Railways Aggressive.

1t is considered significant that so far
all the threats and coercive measures
have emanated from the railway Of
ficials. They have been freely quoted
in the newspapers during the last few
days as stating that they would stop all
business and discharge all employees in
every department in case the switchmen
refused to accept their decision. 1t is
also pretty well established that they
have employed large force of men and
are holding them subject to orders.
This is taken to mean that they intend
to force the fight with the unions of
railway men and settle the question be-
fore the worlds fair rush begins.

The Marietta journal. [volume] (Marietta, Ga.) 1866-1909, 1893-02-02

A rather remarkable story of a
millionaire negress, lately deceased,
and her scapegrace son, comes from
Brooklyn. Mrs. Gloster (colored),
died leaving an estate of 100000
and son. The son was arrested
tor vagrancy and begging, and it
was discovered that the woman had
cut him off without a cent, while
giving large sums to charitable in
situations. The colored race, as this
incident illustrates, is fast acquiring
the civilization it took the Anglo
Saxons hundreds of years to reach.
And old Knickerbocker could not
have made more modern DISPOSE
ton of his wealth than did this al
legged colored woman.

Major Wallace Screws, in a re-
cent letter from Washington to his
paper, the Montgomery Advertiser,
says that in conversation with Col.
Oates, that genial Congressman re-
marked that the parties who are
getting up petitions to be appointed
postmasters, when they have the
list completed, they should make an
affidavit thereto, stating that all
signers live within the delivery of
the Office or are patrons Of the Office,
specifying their politics, and that
each name appearing thereon was
signed by the identical person or
his signature made by his direction.
Col. Oates is of the opinion that the
failures of parties to make such at.
fidavit is the reason why petitions
are lutte regarded By the appoints
ing power
