All logs at the boom, which broke at 1

houses in the lower part of the city. No
telegraph or telephone wire is working
ont of the city, with the single exception
of shaky long-distance telephone wire,
which was placed at the disposal of the
Associated Press correspondent. While
talking to Pblladelphis he was driven
out of the Office by the rapid rise of the
water. The loss has already reached
more than $i,000,000. Unless relief soon
comes, 1t will be three times as much.
No trains have arrived or departed in "a

He Gave Thanks.

All Door, "a Chinaman, was attacked about
two years ago while enroute to Prineville by
masked men, and among other injuries done
to him his cue or long braid was severed
from his head. The celestial reached the
town in dilapitated condition physically,
and finally engaged in the restaurant busi-
ness. Financially he was successful, but he
was always in great trepidation, lest white
men would re-enact the scene he experienced
on his first journey to the town. He rarely
showed himself on the streets after night,
and was afraid to leave the little city. Early
this spring he conceived notion to visit a
cousin in San Francisco, and quietly made
a. arrangements for his departure. He told
no one of his intention, and late at night
went to the hotel where the stage driver
slept and awakened him. After being in
formed by Mr.. John Marlin that he should
not go to any place that night; the China
man unfoldei his plans, and asked the
driver if he had revolver. On receiving
negative answer, Ah Doom gave him one
and retired. The next morning the celes-
tial was at the stable. and ready to depart
when the horses were harnessed. For a
considerable distance the road was through
timber, and in gulches where robbers could
easily secret themselves. 1t was the dark
hour before sunrise, and Ah Doom trembled
at every turn in the road. Mr.. Marlin de-
lights in joke as well as any man. at
every dark place would stop the team and
grab his pistol. Doom became very much
frightened, and holding his revolver would
inquire, "John, what's matter!" The answer
would come in the coolest manner, moth
ing only rabbit" This was repeated by
Marlin half-dozen times, and the celestial
became so nervous that he could scarcely
keep his seat The stage, drove into the
open plain on Willow creek, just as the sun
gilded the eastern hills, and All Doom
heaved a sigh of relief, and grasping Mr..
Marlin by the shoulder, asked him: "You
sabe God!" To which Marlin answered in
the affirmative. Then the Chinaman raised
his eyes heavenward, and in joyful tone
exclaimed SAN light. Tlank God for Will
low cleek and daylight"
Doom has arrived in San Frsncisco safe
and sound, and Marlin never misses an op-
portunity to tell of the fear experienced BY
the Chinaman while passing through the
woods and of his great joy when he

The Mosquito Chief.

BLUEF1ELDs, Nicaragua, May 1S-
Much has happened here within the past
"a hours, and the community is conse
quently much excited. 10 The last ac-
counts sent from here was reported an
unexpected visit of Robert Henry Ciar-
ence, the Mosquito chief, and his boast
that he would soon be restored to his
rights through the intervention of the
British and the assertion of British Con
sui Hatch that the treaty of Managua
would be upheld by Great Britain at any
cost. Not only has Clarence already
realized bis boast, but Aguella, the mur-
derer of William Wilson, has escaped
from the little Jail at Rama.
Word reached here yesterday morning
from the San FranciSc0, which was an
chored off the bluffs, that Robert Henry
Clarence. the Mosquito chief, would be
brought back here today from Pearl La
goon on board the British man of-war
Magsctenne and domiciled in Blue6elds to
stay, or, in other words, that he would be
reInststed in his rights as chief of Mos
qultos by the English. The news created
the widest excitement here and much re
jnicing. The Americans were partic-
ularIy happy, though they regretted that
for which they had been pleading go |
shoul be done by the Brit |
ism instead of by the American govern
ment. At o'clock in the afternoon the |
Magtcienne arrived and last night the |
San Francisco departed for GreStown to
take Consul BraIda to his post of duty, |
leaving this place without an American
official representative. 1t is understood
that American interests are TEN perarily |
in the care of British representatives
The Neao York has not yet arrived. All
the Nicaragusn troops have been WITH
drawn frcm the city of Bluefelds and
sent into the interior, with the exception
Of few men who are on the bluffs and
are not numerous enough to create any
trouble. The next event to ruffie the
serenity which has been the order of the
lay for some time past was the reported
escape of Aguella, the murderer of Will
lam Wilson, the American, at Rama, on
Wednesday last. Governor RueIing, the
new official at Rama who supplanted
Torres, Immediately started on hunt
or him, bur was unable to nead him.
Ruelng arrived here last night and re
sorts that Aguela is located in dense
ungle, two miles from Ra ma. where it is
almost impossible to get at him.

JoHNsTowN. Pa, May 21-JohHstown
is experiencing the most disastrous flood
since the oig food of May 81. 1889. The
damage will amount to at least $50, 900.
The Pennsylvania railroad Is the heaviest
loser. 1t has been raining three days, and
last night a cloudburst occurred near
Ebensburg, swelling the Cenemsugh
many times its natural size. The flood
reached this vicinity about A. M. today,
At south Fork numerous smsll build
ings we're swept away. Further an the
water undermined the track of the Penn
sylvsnis road used by east bouno trains
for almost two miles.
At East Conemaugh the water beat
furlously against the Pennsylvania road
roundhouse and undermined the founda-
tions. The engines were removed to q
place of safety. Several bridges below
Conemaugh were badly damaged.
In this city the Oklahoma house,
owned By Peter Seymour, was swept
away. The three story building of Philip
Brown was torn from its foundation The
iron bridge is badly wrecked. Fully
$l5O,0OO damage was done to property
within the yards of the Pennsylvania
passenger station.
Between the freight station and the
fiver was an artificial embankment,
thich gave way, carrying down into the
river about 300 feet of track and five
loaded cars. In one car we're five trsmps,

storms In the East.

CHICAGO, MAY 1S-The worst STERN of
the season has ragged all day on Lake
Michigan, and grave fears are entertained
fer the safety of such craft as put out
from port last night on smooth sea.
The wind is from the northwest, blowing
SO miles an hour. and extends generally
over the entire lake region. Half dozen
schooners snd smaller crafts Rave foun-.
dered off this city during the day; score
or more are dismantled aud stove in,
making an almest hopeless fight against
the gale and the huge waves that every
lew minutes sweep over them, ehdanger-
ing the lives of those who are still on
board. 1t has been day of bereic effort
and great suffering for the lif-savipg
crews scattered along the shore At least
80 vessels are anchored outside the har-
Dor waiting for the storm to subside. All
are more or less damaged, and the signals
of distress that have appeared among
them from time t. time during the day
have kept the life savers busy. Twenty
five or thirty meh have been brought IN,
sll exhausted and suffering intensely
from the exposure and cold. In several
cases help arrived too late, and corpse
was found among the half conscious
sailors, who, benumbed by the cold and
unable to protect themselves, W re al
most beaten to death by the furious
waves. All night the storm has not
abated, and every honr increases the
peril of those aboard of the numerous
vessels outside the hareer, pulling at
their anchors and in imminent danger OF
being brought into collision with each
other, or OF being pounded to pieces on
the beaches. Scenes of horror, that
chilled the blood of thousands OF specta
tors, were enacted in the harber for tive
miles below the Illinois Central depot in
the early evening. As the storm in-
creased in violence during the afternoon,
the wa es grew mountains high, dashing
over the breakwater, deluging the tracks
and enveloping the passing trains with
torrents of spray.
