DoUsED WITH HOT WATER.
A Youth Who Won't Go "BelI-
ing" Any More,

HUNTINGTON, Ind, April 30.-A seri-
Gus accident happened Friday night at
Ossian. about ten miles from here. and
was the result of a "belling," which was
being carried on at the Presbyterian
parsonage. About o'clock r. Hatfield
and Miss May Milliken went to the par
sonage to be married. The Rev. Mr..
Craven happened to be away from home,
SO they awaited his arrival on the 10
O'Clock tram from Kingsland, where he
was holding meeting. A number of
boys of the town concluded that it
would be nice thing to give the couple
"belling" and, not waiting until the
ceremony was completed, proceeded to
the residence and set up the din
When the minister arrived. the boys
continued the racket, and, it is said, did
SO during the ceremony, so that the
words scarcely could be heard either by
the guests or minister himself. Com
pleting his duties, Rev. Mr.. Craven
decided to rout them, and, seizing
a pail OF scalding hot water, walked to
the door to throw it over them, as he
says. On the porch near the door was
Gene TisSOn, beating bass drum, and
and when the door opened he turned
his face in the direction to see who
was coming. Mr.. Craven, as soon as he
opened the door, dashed the water, and
let it go straight into the eyes of young
Iisson. His eyes and face were fear
fully scalded. The face around the
eyes pealed off, and it is feared the
sight OF both eyes will be destroyed.

st Louis Suffering Severely From
g the Water.
= ST LOUIS, April 30.-The high water
hereaboutS Is beginning to cause con-
siderable alarm and grave apprehen-
sions that the disastrous floods of last
May are to be repeated if not surpassed.
The water rose at an unprecedented rate
all day, the muddy waves climbing higher
and higher with steady, unabated speed.
At o'clock last night the gauge stood
2o, and at the same time tonight 80 feet
was shown. The highest point last year
was SO feet, which was reached on
May 10. Today's rise was due to
the heavy rains of Friday and Sat-
urday and the great rise in the
Gasconade and Usage rivers. A four
foot further rise will cover the
first floors from Vine to Morgan streets.
Numerous cellars are already Inundated
by back water in the sewers. The lower
floors of elevators on both sides of the
river are inundated, and the waves are
rapidly rising to the second floors.
Steamers from above have considerable
trouble in passing under the bridge.
Venice and Brooklyn, is becoming
critical, owing to the weakness of the
leyees at various points.
Later-A break is reported at mid
night In the Cahokin levee. by which a
number Of farms on the American bot
toms were flooded. A good portion Of
Brooklyn Is also reported under water
at midnight. The various railways have
patrols walking their tracks tonight, and
are preparing to strengthen their en-
bankments. They expect to be able to
stand any food. A rise of several feet
is anticipated from above, and it is
feared great damage will be wrought.

LONDON, April 30.-A dispatch from
Melbourne announces the failure of the
National Bank of Australia. The bank
has some $50 branches in Australia, and
agencies in most large cities in the
united kingdom, the continent and the
United States. The authorized capital
of the bank IS 92,000,000; subscribed
capital. 91,250,600; paid up capital,

e10,000,000; its liabilities, in the col
onies, only at a7,50O,0O0. The cause of
the failure was heavy run on the
L more than GS,500,000 has been drawn
from deposit. At the official meeting
on last Thursday a divided of 10 per
cent, payable on May 80, was declared.
The deposits of the bank amount to
nearly G9,000,000, of which about Is per
cent belong to persons in England. Part
of the deposits have been transferred to
the banks now trying to reconstruct the
financial institutions which have gone
to pieces in Australia recently. The
directors, who are also discussing
scheme of reconstruction, are re-
ceiving money meantime in trust
With a view to affording time for the
excitement to subSide, the Victoria gov
ernment has proclaimed bank holiday
for the next five days. Sir j. w. Down
er, premier Of South A uStralia, has
called the preml ers Of other countries
to a conference which will consider
measures for allaying the panic and
staying the progress of financial
disaster. The government of New
South Wales has already taken
steps which 1t deems advisable. Pre-
mier Patterson, of Victoria, says: "The
financial situation is undoubtedly crit
ical, and arrangements ought to be
made to provide for the calm considera-
tion of the best course to be pursued by
the colonial governments. l fear that
the success attending the efforts to re-
construct the Commercial bank will
tend to weaken confidence in the banks
which have not suspended. Possibly
the Commercial will now be anlalgam-
ated with some other bank"
The Commercial bank referred to in
the interview has had its head Office in
Melbourne. 1t failed recently, but, by
the efforts of other banks, has been
pulled together. 1t will open its head
office tomorrow and its branches on
Tuesday.

RuBge will be whitewashed and a few
of the actually guilty fremen will be

The reason for saying that the whole

this: McAllistef and Harvey, of the

members of the same committee, art
believed to be friendly to him. Laekey

weeks for the fire department committee
to digest it and come back with report

ready to act the public will be tired of
the fire department question, and will

will be easy to discipline few men

The fire department investigation is
still the fruitful topic of discussion in
the mouths of the public. Now that
the council has declared that it must

than ever as if the fire department
would be whiteWashed eventually. in

a council committee after thorough in

When this investigation started it was
the general opinion that it would end in
a fiZzle as did the pump investigation of
last year. Evidently some of the men,

James Y. McHugh is a young man
who is living denial of the old-fash-
ioned theory that knowledge of the law
and long-continued poring over the
musty tones of legal lore units a man
for practical business. Although a
lawyer, Mr.. McHugh knows how to
make a penny now and then. He made
6,500,000 pennies a few weeks ago,
which is $65,000 in good and current
coin of the realm. Mr.. McHugh made
it out of the reorganization of the
Minneapolis Brewing company He
heard of the project for reorganizing
that big institution, and he saw where he
could make his knowledge Of the affairs
of the company valuable. He was in
timately acquainted with the Orth es-
tate and with the Orth interests in the
brewing company. He found that some
of the original Orth stock in the con-
Germ had to be turned over before the
deal by which the reorganization was
effected could be closed. Mr.. McHugh
knew where the stock was to be found
and he Immediately secured it. Then
came the reorganization. The stock
had to be in with the balance of the
deal. Mr.. McIIugh's stock was worth
more than it had oeen before, and he
cleaned up a net profit of $4,000 in a
few weeks. 1t is not every young man
who can marry and make 5000 all in
one year. but Mr.. McHugh has done it.

LYONS SOUL WRUNG.
He Brought His Wife From Maine

He Brought His Wife From Maine
TO Lcarn Of Her Infidelity.
Yesterday afternoon a woman, who
said she was the wife of E. II. Lyons. a
member of the Salvation Army, called
on Capt. Helm at the police headquart-
ers to say that her husband had taken
her three children away from her and
was about to desert her. She objected
and wanted the police to do something.
The kind-hearted captain, always ready
to oblige the tair sex, offered to do all
he could. He was told story which
put different light on the case.
Until little over a year ago E. II.
Lyons was a resident of Maine. The
roar Of the Penobscot'S mighty waters
filed his soul with a strange unrest.
He thought ne had been called to Min
neapolis, so he came. The wife and
three children, the oldest then only
eleven years old. remained behind in
the old home until the husband and
father could send for them. Lyons
found that it was not Minneapolis but
the Salvation Army he wanted after he
arrived here, and he is now in good and
regular standing in that organization.
But his heart was true to those left
behind on the banks of the Penobscot.
A couple of weeks ago he sent for his
family. They arrived Saturday morn
ing. Lyons took them to rooms which
had been provided and prepared to re-
same the old life, surrounded by his lit
tie family. His dream of happiness was
soon over. His wife had been false to
him, he says. The roar of the Penob-
scot had driven memory of her hus
bands tenderness from her memory.
Lyons says that his wife is about to be-
come mother.
When Lyons learned all this he did
not swear and break the furniture and
talk of killing. He conducted himself
as became a faithful member of the
Salvation band. But he could not for
give the woman who had wrecked his
happiness. .and then cOnd0ne the OffenSe
by living with her. He told her plainly
that they must separate. The children
he would not allow to remain with her.
He took them to the East side and con-
fided them to the care of a friend, James
Wade by name. He told his wife that
he would buy her a ticket back to
Maine, and that she must go content
with that. Then he went back to his
brethren of the Army and found relief
in their sympathy.
When Lyons told his story to the po-
lice captain it was seen that nothing
could be done for Mrs. Lyons further
than Lyons had already signitied will
ingnesS to do. Lyons bought her a
ticket. and last night she left for Maine
again, where the persistent roar of the
PenODScOt may purge her mind and
bring solace for the wrong to her hus-
band

CHICAGO, April 30.-Whitelaw Reid
and party arrived in the city today from
their trip to the Pacific coat in time to
witness the opening ceremonies of the

agitation in the business circles over
the treasury situation, Mr.. Reid said:
Long as the Republicans remained
in power they had money enough in
spite of the heavy foreign demand.
There has been no change since, eX-
cepting ia the men responsible for the

abroad have not equal confidence in
them and begin to draw gold below the
danger point, you must not blame the
Republicans for that.

The Government Expected to Take
Vigorous Measures.
MADRID, April 80. - Advices from
Havana are to the effect that the in
surgents in Eastern Cuba number 800.
The government will ask for funds for
a campaign against them, but not for
reinforcements. The Cuban deputies
support the government. as does
also the Conservative party. Public
opinion here censures the governor
for having allowed the Cuban govern
ment to be surprised by the outbreak,
and it is believed that should the revo-
luton proceed, he will be superseded by
Gen. Martinez Sampos. The Madrid
newspapers blame the government for
not having needed the war lines of the
Spanish cOnsUls and agents in Cen
tral American states, who have
reported repeatedly for months
that Cuban eXiles were making
preparations to start revolution. They
demand unanimously that vigorous
measures be adopted and that Santa de
Cuba be placed under martial law. AT
a meeting this evening the cabinet ap-
proved the resolution authorizing the
governor of Cuba to draw upon the
royal treasury for any amount required
for military supplies. Warships and
troops are held ready to be sent to Cuba
al moments notice.

A New Luminous Compass.

The luminous compass recently intro
duced in the French navy consists of an
ordinary Thompson compass. During
the day it is employed in the usual way,
but at night vertical line of light is
thrown from the pinnacle light upon
the interior side of the compass box, be-
tween the card and the glass, by means
of combination of lenses and mirrors.
'Th line is, for the time being, a fixed
line, and bears known relation to the
direction of the ships keel. From another
combination Of lenses and mirrors above
the center of the card, second ray Of
light is thrown upon the interior side Of
the compass box, and this, after suita-
BILE adjustment, moves around as the
card moves. This line being of different
length, is easily distinguishable from
the other, and it may be temporarily set
so as to bear any desired relation to any
point on the card. In steering, the
helmsman has simply to move his wheel
so as to keep the two luminous lines in
the same straight line.

This is time of year when people need to

gers of these troubles in time. There is but
one way by which a reaction can be brought
about ana that is by the use of pure stimu-
liant, preferably whiskey. But the great diff
culty is that there are few whiskeys which
are pure. The only really pure and reliable

the world is Dufys Pure Malt. 1t possesses
qualities known only TO itself. 1t will bring
about a reaction and prevent cold, pneu-

Walter Sanford's scenic melo-drama,
"Ihe Struggle OF Life" was presented
at the Bijou yesterday afternoon and
evening to large audiences. The even
ing audience was so large a one that
many people stood in the aiSles. The
Struggle of Life" was seen in this city
last year, when Frederick Paulding
managed 1t and played the principal
role. There is but little difference in
the production. the scenery being the
same and equally as realistic. William
Stafford is a splendid actor, but the
company is not the best, the cast. aside
from the leading men, Jennie Satterlee
ana Edward Heron, being very medl-
Ocre. Stafford plays the part OF Edward
BrOCton, Jennie Satterlee takes the part
of Mollie McCue, and Heron that of
Tommy Casey. The play will, no doubt,
prove a drawing card, for it is we'll
worth seeing, if for nothing else than
the scenery. 1t remains at the BJOu

NEW YORK, April 30.-EX-Senator
Thomas c. Platt was sitting in the cor
ridor of the Fifth Avenue hotel tonight,
surrounded by little group of states
men from the interior, who were tell
ing him how they were going to
carry the next legislature for the Re-
publicans. One of them all of sudden
changed the subject by inquiring about
the authenticity of the letter purporting
to have been written by John Sherman
and published in newspaper at Niagara
Falls, in which Senator Sherman
was made to say that las between
Tom Platt and Tammany HalP' he
''did not care the toss of a copper" Mr..
Platt smiled somewhat grimly, and SAID
he thought the letter might have been
written by Mr.. Sherman at some time in
the past. 81 am very sure" he added,
"that it does not at all represent Sen
ator Sherman's present feelings towards
me. lie did not write it re-
was forged. Still, have no hesitation
in saying that subsequent to the Repub-
lican national convention of 1883 Mr..
Sherman's sentiment for me was not
precisely amiable. 1t proves the authen-
ticity that he has not taken the trouble
to deny the authorship. In all our
political careers we have not seen our
way clear to join forces. Such an occa-
sion was the convention of 1888. If the
New York delegation had thrown its
support to Mr.. Sherman he would have
been nominated Instead, to some eX-
tent, perhaps, through my influence, it
gave its votes to Gen. Harrison and
nominated him."

RESTLESS HOosIER MINERS.
Some Likelihood of Several Big
Strikes,

HUNTINGBURG, Ind, April 30.-The
scale of wages on which the coal miners
all over Southern Indiana have been
working for the past year expired yes
terday, and on Monday the new
scale will be presented and go into force
in such Of the mines as have accepted
1t. The acceptance of this scale by the
mine owners had hoped for, and an
other strike is among the probabilities
of the next few days. The men
have been receiving pay at the
rate of 40 cents per ton, and
while this rate would probably have
been satisfactory If the mines had been
able to furnish steady work for all the
men, the time lost by all of them during
the year has been considerable With
steady work, good miner is able to
make from $3.50 10 50 per day, but
in some of the mines, espe-
cially- the smaller ones, the average
will not reach more than half of that at
other places. 1t is argued by the men
that they should have either stated
amount of work guaranteed them, Or
they should receive at least 45 cents per
ton for the material taken out Of the
mine. A score or more of min
ers in this part of the state
would be affected by strike.
which. if general, would throw fully
], GOO men out of employment. A strike
in this section would probably spread
to the Clay county mines, in which
such serious trouble occurred two
years ago. The owners of the
