Million - Damage by Water
Elsewhere.

LAMAR, Col. June 8. Last night
fifty feet of the south end of the bridge
across the Arkansas river gave way
before the flood, and all hour later
twenty-five feet OH the north end was
swept away. The river covered all the
bottoms, and was mile wide at the
bridge. The Santa Fe tracks east and
west are submerged, and at Powers,
seven miles west. several hundred feet
of track is washed out. All the irrigat-
ing canals are filled by the overflow,
and some of them have been broken in
many places. A number of farms along
the river have been greatly damaged by
the flood, which washed out the crops.
Four passenger trains. west-bound, are
held at the depot waiting for the track
to be- made passible. The river is slowly
falling, and it is believed that the worst
is over. 1t is impossible at present to
estimate the amount of damage done.
The water reached a higher point during
the present flood than ever before
known.

Three Strikers Arrested-COal
Trains Again Moving.
WASHINGTON, Ind, June 3.-The
state troops marched into Clark's sta
ton this morning 500 strong with gat-
ling gun TO find that only about fifty
miners had stayed to face the muskets.
The militia was drawn up in line along
the edge of the woods, and Sheriff Lem
ming then read the warrant against the
miners for riotouS conspiracy and
placed three of the leaders, Squire Sum-
mers. Dick Gate and John Flynn, un-
der arrest, bringing them to this city
this afternoon and placing them in Jail:
As soon as the troops were in line the
railroad men at once repaired the track,
and the loaded cars were taken
OH west. The thousand miners who
were reported EN- route to Clark's
station did not materialize this
morning, neither had they collected at
any other point along the Baltimore &
Ohio Southern. The certainty that the
officers intended to enforce the laws
seemed to Quell the rebelliouS feeling
among the men. The miners say as soon
as the troops are Withdrawn they will
stop all coal cars, but, anticipating this,
two companies will be stationed at
Clark's until all fear Of trouble is past.
Everything in this city is quiet, and
there is general feeling of relief
among all classes. Trains loaded with
coal have been passing through the city
ali The afternoon.

BRAZIL, Ind, June 3.-The miners here
are greatly stirred up over the report
current that the governor had ordered
company OF militia from Washington,
Ind, to this city to force the movement
of coal now standing on the Vandalla
track. This afternoon three trains of
Pennsylvania coal passed over the Van
dalia going west. The first train ran on
No. 1 passenger train time. 1t was
closely followed by the passenger. SO
that, i'll case the strikers stopped it, the
passenger train would be blockaded.
The second train passed through a
crowd of miners at KniyhtsvilIe, east of
here, unharmed, however. The third
one did not fare so we'll. The miners
stoned the train, breaking the windows
out of the engine and caboose.
