Two Hogs and a Goose Carried Two

ELLwooD, Ind, May 20.ADuring the
heavy cyclone the other day two hogs
and a fat goose, belonging to Sam
Wainscott, were blown from his barn
yard in Peoria. Ill. These very pigs
and the companion goose are now in
the barnyard of T. j. Hancock, near
this city, where they were dropped by
the cyclone which swept over this city
at that time. 1t was about 2 o'clock in
the morning when Hancock was arous-
ed from his sleep by the storm. He
went out into the barnyard to look after
his stock, and his attention was attract
ed to the clouds, in which he saw dur
ing the lightning flash the pigs and
goose. Suddenly they dropped to the
ground in his yard and the next morn
ing they were as lively as usual, having
suffered little during their perilous trip
of 207 miles through the air. Mr.. Ham

description of the missing pigs and
goose, and it tallies exactly with that of

FLOOD And STORM
The SusQnGhanna Valley, in Pennsyl-
Vania, Again Threatened.
PEOPLE PREPARED FOR THE WORST
The Storm and its Effects Extend From
Lake Erie South to the Ohio
River.

W1IL1AMspoRF, Pa, May 20.-With
the horrors of the. disastrous flood of
'S9, which spread life and destruction
throughout this valley, brought back to
memory by the threatened danger of
swoop of water that promises to be as
great as that of five years ago, the
people of this city and throughout the
west branch of the valley are in a state
of panic that has turned the usually
quiet Sunday into one of remarkable exs
citement. Since Friday night steady
and almost continuous downpour of rain
has been swelling all the streams, and
late last night numerous cloudburts
along Pine creek and other tributaries
of the west branch of the Susquehana
have made it impossible to confi'e the
water within the banks of the Streams.
It has therefore spread out over the
country, and at every point is pouring
into the main river. Throughout the
day rain has fallen here and it continues
to fall tonight. Advices from all points
up the river say the same conditions
exist. A cloudburst at Heating, 20
miles above Remove, early this morning
raised the river there to 20 feet, and the
river at Remove is much higher than in
the food of 1889. Above there and ex-
tending to the headwaters at Clearfeld,
every town and hamlet has been re-
duced by water to the conditions that
prevailed in 1889. Along the Philadel-
phia & Erie railroad, between this point
and Emporium, traffic has been prac-
tically suspended since last night. The
trains are running between Williams
port and Lock Haven, but above the
latter point landslides and track wash
outs have practically swept the track
away, and the loss will be very heavy.

so. K" has another significance
than the one usually attached to it.
In Russia o. K. used to mean a
mysterious brilliant writer who filed
columns of the Moscow Gazette and
Russia with letters in favor of an
Anglo-Russian alliance. The mystic
letters meant Olga Kireeff, one of the
most prominent of all the fascinating
set of social-political Russian 1umin-
aries, says the New York World.
She was the only daughter of a dis
tinguished Russian family and the god
child of Emperor Nicholas, and led
the usual life of the upper class
Russian girl until her marriage with
Gen. Novikoff. She was the typical
leader of the social diplomatic set for
awhile, but was not seriously inter
ested in politics until one of her
brothers was killed in the Russo
Turkish war. Then she awoke sud
denly to the fact of political life, and,
believing that had England and
Russia been on friendly terms such
sacrifices would not have been neces-
sary, she became an earnest advocate
of an alliance between the two coun-
tries.
In England she has many friends of
distinction. Kinglake, Hon. c P.
Villiers, Bernal Osborn, Prof. Tyndall,
Gladstone, Carlyle, John Bright, Prof.
Freeman, and Froude were all person
pl friends of hers, and some of them
supporters of her views. She always
stays at Claridges when she is in Lon
don, and it was to her that Kinglake
wrote the well-known nonsense verse:
There is fair lady at Claridge's

One of the most interesting things to

history of the relic is remarkable. 1t
was found bedded deep in the body of
whale killed by the fleet after ter
rife fight in the Compass grounds, off
the northwest coast, some years ago.
1t was a great swivel-headed spear,
well preserved, except where the
shank of the iron had been eaten away
by the salt water down to the whales
body. From the brand on the iron its
history could be traced. The mark was
that of the steam whaler Montezuma.
which was formerly British man-of-
war, and nearly sixty years ago was
purchased by the Nantucket whalers
and cruised in the North Atlantic.
During the late war the Montezuma,
which was then a worthless old hulk.
was purchased by the government and
sunk as a part of the famous stone
fleet to cage in the blockade runners at
Charleston. From all the facts in her his
tory it must have been nearly fifty years
ago that she lost the harpoon in the
great whale in the Atlantic, and as the
humpback whale neyergoes south past
the tropics this one must have worked
his way over through the northwest
passage and under the ice foes to the
Compass grounds off the northwest
coast, where he. was killed by the San
Francisco fleet nearly half IL century
later. This harpoon was long in the
Office of the whaling company in San
Francisco and was presented by Sen
atOI. Perkins to the National Geo
graphic society of Washington.

OTHER pRoBABLE BUSINESS.

Aside from the banking bill, Hatch is
hopeful of taking up the anti-option bill
during the week. Monday is the regu-
lar suspension day, but it is expected
the executive bill will hold its place and
be, pressed. The Indian appropriation
bill is next on the calendar. The most
important committee work of the week
will be the reporting, from the rules
committee, of recommendation that
the naval committee investigate the
armor-plate frauds. The report is ex-
pected Monday, for Tuesday the judi
ciary committee will consider Judge Jen-
kins and strike injunction. Thurs
day, Bland will again try to have his
free-coinage bill reported from the coin
age committee.

THE STATE RANR ISSUE.
This will Be the Important BUSINESS
Before the House.

WASHINGTON, May 20.-The state bank
issue. which has been gathering strength
at caucuses and conferences ever since
congress assembled, promises to be
fought to finish during the coming
week. It will bring out sharp contest
on party as well as on economical lines,
for the state bank plank of the national
democratic platform advanced the ques-
ton to place of importance second only
to silver. The advocates of state banks
have been restive for weeks to test their
strength. They failed to have bill re-
ported from the banking committee.
Thereupon a caucus was called and
resolution adopted that the issue should
be made before the house on an amend
ment to the Brawley bill. This long
deferred bill, with the state bank amend
ment, is now to be brought to vote.
The bill is not important in its features
its main use is in serving as bank bill
to which state bank amendment is
germane. Chairman Springer, of the
banking committee, and Cox, Culberson,
Swanson and other state bank advocates
expect to begin the contest Tuesday or
Wednesday on a question of considera-
ton. The anti-state bank men are ex-
pected to insist that the Indian appro-
priation bill has equal privilege, in
which case test vote will decide the
strength of the state-b bank men. They
are confident of winning on the vote of
consideration, and Springer is prepared
to open the debate. The main issue,
however. will be on conditional or un-
conditional repeal of the tax. Swanson
says unconditional repeal can certainly
muster lac votes and conditional repeal
