Michigan's Floods.

DETROIT, Mich. March l6.-The
severe cold snap that struck this state
last night has effectually checked for
the present. at least, all further dam
ages from floods. The ice in the
Grand river has all heen cleared away
and no further serious trouble is ex-
pected on that stream. In other rivers
the water is reported falling.
The situation in the Kalamazoo
flooded districts remains about the
same. The water has not risen any
since last night, but there ia much
suffering a. ice has formed and house

almost impossible.

Getting Out of It.

Ibid YOU ever hear how General
JEFF Thompson once evaded an order
in the field and didn't get caught at
it," asked an old Missourian. ut
happened, think, in the summer Of
1864, the year when General Price
and General A. }. Smith were chasing
each other up and down the state.
General Thompson. with section Of
Prices army, swept across the Central
Missouri prairies like cyclone, and
on one hot August day the citizens of
Sedalia saw his men approaching the
town in a perfect cloud of dust.
"Sedalia was garrisoned by body
of Home Guards under the command
Of Colonel William Bloess and Major
VIM. Gentry, and so, when the alarm
bell sounded, the little band hurried
to the trenches and prepared for de-
Tense. Thompson saw the handful of
citizens in the bitches and unlimbered
his guns. An apparently fierce can
nonading was kept up for half an
hour, during which time one man was
killed, and then the Home Guards
capitulated and Thompson rode into
town.
81 remember the terrible time he
had that day endeavoring to control
his rough-riden, who seemed bent on
making everything contraband, but
he finally made them understand his
imperative orders and quiet was soon
restored, but not until every citizen
Of fighting age had been placed under
arrest and guard.
"W ell, it leaked out before night
that Thompson had orders to burn the
railroad depot. 1t was great, wood
en- structure, against which a number
of the store buildings backed, and to
burn the depot was to burn the town.
The General was a spectacular soldier
As well as brave tighter, and his
picturesque dress showed him to be
somewhat of 4 gallant knight. Hence
the ladies of Sedalia banded them
selves together to the number of about
80 and waited upon him with a prayer
not to destroy the depot and the town.
He treated the delegation with con-
spicuous courtesy, and finally told the
ladies that soldier must obey orders,
but he felt free to notify them that he
would set fire to the depot at . o'clock
on the following morning, and he
limited to them that if the old barn
happened to he green and didn't burn
up the fault would be theirs.
They took the hint. Promptly at
) o'clock bucket brigade of ladies
was in line at the depot. The soldiers
started the fire, the general gave his
orders for the army to move on, the
ladies waited until the commander had
disappeared and then promptly extin-
guished the flames amid the joyous
shouts of the soldiers.
"And l don't suppose old Pap Price
ever heard Of it.'-&. Louis Republic.

Used a Horse-vship.

FLArBusH, N. ", March 16.-
One week ago to-day Miss Mary Hem
mings, the pretty sister-in-law of Vic
tor L. Bedingfeld, editor Of the Flat
bush Press and Gazette, purchased a
riding whip and made the threat that
she would horsewhip Geo. White, an
editorial writer on the Supervisor,
Flatbush weekly publication. at the
first opportunity, and last night she
carried her threat into execution and
horsewhipped White for half block
up Clarkson Street. White was never
much of a sprinter, but he made a
record last night which he will remem-
Der to the end of his days. The story
of BedingfeId's tilt with his rival,
White is already well known.
White, in retaliation, brought
Miss Hemmings into the
controversy and made some remarks
in innuendo. which resulted in her
threat to horsewhip him. Mis- Hem
mings is typesetter and typewriter,
and used to be in Whites employ at
the Union Printing Exchange, New
York. of which he is manager.
Editor Bedingfield was on trial
last night at the town hall on the
charge of robbery for taking the
copies Of the paper containing the
Objectionable article from the news
boys and throwing them in the gutter.
Miss Hemmings had been subpened
in the case. In company with Editor
Beding6eld and his wife she was on
her way to the court house to give
testimony. The rest of the story Is
better told in her language as she
gave 1t to the reporter. Said she:
IL have carried that whip around
with me ever since / bought it. know
ing that my opportunity would come.
1t was Just 6 30 o'clock and we we're
turning the corner Of Clarkson street
in Flatbush avenue when White
alighted from the car on his way
home. struck him full across the
face with the whip. He put up his
umbrella to ward off the blows and
then started to run. ! followed him
until ] was put of breath, whipping
over his neck. head and shoulders. |
am satisfied now that / have visited
on him the punishment he deserved,
and I don't believe he will want to
bring me into any more of his vitu-
perative editorials.
Miss Hemmings is handsome
blonde. with light brown hair and eyes.
She is English by birth, of slight build
and about 81 feet in height. She had
the riding whip with her at court with
big red satin bow tied On it. She
says she expects 10 keep'it As me-
mentO of the occasion. White was
present at Bedingfield's trial tonight.
He has nothing to say about the Oc-
currence. II is not believed he will
take any action in the matter.

A BIG POULTRY SHOW.
The Midcontinental Association
Claims as Dates February
5-IO, 1894.

The executive committee of the
Midcontinental Poultry association
met last night and decided that their
first poultry and pet stock exhibition
should be held from February 5 to 10,
1894. These dates will not conflict
with those Of any of the western state
poultry shows. 1t was thought best
to have the great Midcontinental
show follow the various state shows.
The committee will decide later upon
a building in which to hold the show.
Vineyard hall was spoken of as a good
place in which to have the exhibition.
The new Ridge building was also men-
toned as central location. 1t will
be finished in time and will have the
advantage of being roomy, well light
ed and central. 1t was decided to
place the membership fee at 81 and
admit any reputable person who
might apply.
There is now no doubt in the minds
of poultry fanciers of the ultimate
success of the great Midcontinental.
The object of the association is as the
constitution states, Ito promote the
rearing of thoroughbred poultry and
net stock and to enlist the breeders
Of the country in a movement to es-
tablish in Kansas CITY a great annual
exhibition of poultry and pet stock. !"
1t is proposed to offer $1,000 in prem
iums. For years the need of great
central show in the west similar to
the Madison Square Garden show in
the east has been felt among the fanci-
ers of the country. 1t is proposed to
make the Midcontinental of national
importance and permanent, show a
year is held at a central point easy of
access is worth to the fancier more
than dozen smaller exhibitions scat
tered here and there. over the country.

Because the wind is raw and shrili

Make the roadway boggy:
And the air is clsmmy cold.

That make him nervous, cross and queer

What pity it is that his face is all pint

Said pretty Miss We're, with smile at the

signing
That she had for the young man a tender

There wasn't the least need of denying
for every one knew it. His beauty
is marred by the frightful red blotches
all over his face, l wonder if he
couldn't take something to cleanse his
blood, and drive them away

looks. 1t hurt his feelings, but he
couldn't deny she told the truth. He
remembered friend whose face used
to be as bad as his. 1t had become
smooth and clear. He went to him
and asked how the change had been
brought about. Simply by using DR..

ELI PERKINS
He Is Assaulted BY a Car Porter
and Gets Knocked Out.

Among the passengers who boarded
the parlor car Mendosia, attached to
the Chicago and Alton south-bound
train, in the union depot at Chicago
Yesterday morning, with ticket for
St. Louis in his pOcket-perchance it
was pass-was Melville ID. Landon,
better known as lecturer by the
pseudonym Of Eli Perkins. Mr.. Ian
don has travelled extensively in his
day-taking in Russia in one Of his
trips-and he is fond of ease and COM
fort whether his conveyance he stage
coach, a railroad car or u steamship
cabin. The ventilation Of the gorge
Gus Mendosia was not exactly to his
liking yesterday, and just as the
train left the depot he addressed a
few sharp words of mingled re-
quest and admonition to the COL
ored porter, Mr.. Frank Tyler, with a
view to securing some modification OF
the internal economy of the coach.
Mr.. Tyler took exceptions to the tone
rather than to the words of Mr.. Ian
don, and uttered reply which more
embroiled the verbal fray. The next
thing the other passengers knew there
was a scramble between the porter and
the traveller. 1t wasn't much Of a
scramble either, since that designation
properly applies only to contest be-
tween two or more people. 1t was
one-sided affair, in which the porter
was having it all his own way against
the traveller, whom he was striking in
the face and head with violence
and rapidity. The passengers inter
fered and separated the combatants,
but not until Mr.. Landon had been
badly bruised and distigured. Mr..
Landon continued his journey to st.
Louis, where he arrived on time. but
in his unpresentable shape he avoided
reporters and did not patronize his
accustomed hosiery in St. Louis.
Complaint was made against the por-
ter, and he was promptly notified that
the company would conduct its busi-
ness without his assistance in the flu
ture.
