The authorities of Jermyn borough,
through Attorney l. II. Burns, Satur-
day, filed a bill in equity against the
Carbondale Traction company and the

company to compel these corporations
to keep in good repair First street, in
that borough, which. 1t is alleged, the
companies are compelled to do by the
terms Of the franchise the Traction
company received from the borough
council.
These repairs have been neglected
and the bill asks the court to compel the
Traction company to put First avenue

and If is fails to do this that the road

time as the proper repairs are made.

By the Associated Pregs-
ATcHIsoN, Kan, May 27.-During the
past As hours ending at 6 o'clock this
evening, the Missouri river here has
risen nearly six feet at this point. The
rise was rather sudden and great dam
age is being done to property in the vi
cinity OF East Atchison. During the
past IL hours the stream has cut away
nearly 200 feet of adjoining land near
that town, aud the work of destruction
continues. The town OF East Atchieon
has been protected heretofore by strip
of land known as The Point, and which
extended for several yards into the
river. This point has been cat away.
The main current of the stream strikes
the town almost directly from the
north. 1t will probably be only ques-
ton of few hours until the current
has full sway from this direction, and
then nothing can save ths place. Great
excitement prevails there, and great
many pereon5 have moved TO THIS slde
OF the river for safety.
Store buildings and houses which
etood in the north end OF the village are
owners. Probably as many as dozen
were moved today and the work will
continue through the night. Laborers
and teams from this city as we'll as
from the country surrounding East At
Gibson have been sent there to assiet in
removing the goods.
just north OF East Atchison there are
three lines of railways paralleling each
other-the Rock Island, the Santa Fe
and the Hannibal and ST. Joe. The
river has reached within less than 80
feet of these railways, and it is probable
that trains will be compelled to stop to-
morrow. Several days ago large force
OF men was put to work by the railroads
rip-rapping the bank in an effort to etay
the eneroachments. This was diecou,
tnued Saturday for the reason that nc
iA.,ir ennid ha aarnrad tn secure the rip
rapping, and also that the stream washed
it out as fast as it was placed there
is thought that nothing can be done tc
prevent the cutting, and the citizens are
either preparing to leave the place oil
else standing IDLY ny watching the river
ON its mission OF destruction.

RESULT OF THE FLOOD.

An Accident the Northern Pacific
Caused by Washout.
NORTH YAKIMA, WASH, May 27.-An
accident occurred on the Northern Pa
cifc near Toppenish station, IS miles
east of North Yakima. at an early hour
this morning, az the result of the pre-
vailing flood. An east bound freight
train went through bridge crossing a
slough, burying Fireman Ed Morrell
beneath the wreck Engineer Charles
Wirth of Ellensburg jumped as
the engine was going down, but
he had several ribs broken and
receiy ed internal injuries. 1t is believed
his life will be saved. The bridge had
the appearance of being safe at the
time, but the back water of the Yakima
river had undermined the piling. Nor
rell's body was recovered only after the
wreckiLg crew had been at work for
several hours.
The weather is colder this afternoon
and the water has ceased rising, but
fears are still felt for property in this
neigh hborho The bridge crossing the
Yakima river at Union Gap is partially
demolished and several small ones have
been carried away.
Many gardens and orchards along the
low lands have been washed out.

LILLIAN RUSSELL'S IDOL.
The Fair Singer Tells tho Story of Her
Matrimonial Troubis-Her Giriy-
GirIy Hubby Proved
Tyrant.

New York, May 27-Lillian Russell,
Who took for her third husband Signor
Perugini, the girly-girly tenor of her
company, tells over her signature in the
Herald how her idol was shattered by
blows of the tenor's fist.
After giving the history of her various
matrimonisl adventures, Miss Russell,
Perugini, writes:
''No later than at breakfast on the
morning after our marriage my husband
began to show disposition to rule me
and TO dictate W no should be my friends
who should enter my home, where l
should go and what l should do. He
threatened at the very outset to dis
charge my servants, especially my faith
full maid who has been with me for
more than seven years.
Il would have met him more than
half way in all these matters had he
proved himself husband worthy of the
name. Quarrel after quarrel occurred
between US, and it was during one OF
these trying scenes that Signor Perugini
admitted that he married me purely for
the artistic position ti.us given him.
"This proved to be true, as have as
certsined from a few of his most inti-
mate friends, to whom he boaeted when
our engagement was first made public
that be joined the company to marry
me | played strong card" he said,
and have won. We will be married
and am sure of position for life.'
"Tas was the boast made by him, in
the presence of several we'll known
gentlemen. both at the Metropolitan
opera house and at uhe Players club.
"But to 60 back. Notwithstanding
these qusrrels determined to live
with him "a sister and maintain at
least an appearance of happiness be-
fore the world. But when Signor Peru
gini insulted my friends and used per-
sona violence on me at the Hotel
Stenton in Philadelphia l felt the end
had come. l could not stand it
any longer. Ny home is my only rest
ing place. / could not allow him to
live with me-. could not sing and be
tormented. | have to tell these pain
full facts to assure the world that ii was
my desire to be devoted wife to a man
who showed that ne had no right to
marry any woman.

PORTLAND, Ore. May 27.-The entire

houses on the fats are under water and
their occupants have moved to higher
ground. The Spokane river and Occur
d'Alene lake are higher than ever before
known and immense damage has already
been done to railroad property in East
ern Washington aud North Idaho. All
rivers and streams flowing into Puget

heavy.

DEPLETED TREASURY.
The Geld Reserve Again Going Down
Down, Down.

The Geld Reserve Again Going Down,
Down, Down.
WASHINGTON, May 27.-The present
depleted condition of the treasury and
the discouraging outlook for the future
are source OF considerable anxiety to
the officials of the treasury. Already
the gold reserve which was brought up
by the last gold issue to $l07 800, ,S42,
has been reduced by exports since
March 10th TO less than 1000, 900,
with no indications that the foreign de
mand will cease until it has reached a
much lower point. With the exception
of the gold reserve, and counting every
available dollar in the vaults, the treas
ury today has less than $50. 900, 900 with
which to meet its obligations.
Nor does the futures show any signs
OF encouragement. On the contrary the
probability is that the deficit OF s76, ,0J0,-
900 for the month of May is likely to be
increased by SIS 000, 900 during the two
succeeding months. The closest esti-
mate that can now be made shows that
the deficit for the fscal year ending
June Both, will be approximately $74,-
800, 200. Close estimates place the re-
ceipts for May at $22, $40 600 and the
disbursements at $25. 100000. For June
the receipts are likely to be about s24,-
00n, 900, with the expenditures $26, ,000,-
coo, making the total receipts for the
fiscal year 1921 500 749, and the dis
bursements 1865 757, 1877.
While it is confidently believed the
receipts for July will increase some
what, yet it is much more certain ttat
the disbursements will increase. A con-
servatlve estimate of the deficit for July
is SIP, ,000, 900, increase being accounted
for by the payment OF many obliga-
tions, including about 81, 800 600 inter
est that natures at the beginning of the
fiscal year. During June the pensior
payments will amount to about $40, 500,
900, and during July nearly $l1,750,00O
The full amount of receipts and ex
penditures for the present month anc
for the fiscal year to date are as follows
Receipts for the month, to date, $40, 459,
1888; receipts for the fisca year, to date
$266, ,239, ,637; expenditures for th'
month to date, $26, 6,271 800; disburee
ments for the fiscal year to date. 1887,

Indians. per capita This large amount
is the proceeds OF the eale of the
Cherokee strip to the United States
government last year, and will be the
largest amount of money ever paid out
TO as few people in the United States.
To say that serious trouble will
attend the distribution of this
money, is but to foreshadow
facts. The city is already filed with
strangers, many of them known bv this
time to be sharpers and gamblers who
came here with the purpose to fleece
the Cherokees to 6nish. and they will
take away with them more than their
share of the money. They will find,
however, before they leave that the
Cherokees are not 70 be buncoed, and if
they are not killed on suspicion they
will leave the nation ponrer but wiser
men. Today over 500 well-armed Cher.
okee Indians met here and organ
lied for business with Jeese Cock
rane as their chief commander. Be-
sides, nearly every citizen of the
Cherokee nation has provided himself
with Winchester and six-shooters,
and stands ready at moments warn
ing to help constitute an army of not
less than 5000, should an attempt be
made to rob them of their treasure. The
amount paid to each Cherokee will be
about $3.50, and then the heads of each
family will 1raw for 10 and IL children.
Nearly ell the surrounding states and
big cities like Kansss City and st.
Louis, will feel the effects of this paw
ment. and times will continue flush for
the next year at least.
