trous cloudburst occurred at the head
of Garden creek, a small mountain
stream seven miles south of here.
The water came down the valley in a
solid wall ten feet high, carrying
everything before it. Huge boulders
and logs were torn from their fasten-
ings and carried along with the ter
rife force of the torrent, dealing
death and destruction in its path.
Four persons were drowned.
Wichita Eagle: The Big Arkansas
river was the chief point of attrac-
ton all day yesterday and last night.
Lewis street, Douglass avenue and
Second street bridges were the points
at which the largest crowds assemb-
bled to look at the mad rushing, mud
dy, boiling stream. The water vas
four to six inches higher this morn
ing. 1t rose an inch at noon and
dropped back to the morning mark
and remained there until midnight.
The water backed up the Second
street sewer and stood in the gutter
in front Of the Occidental hotel and
on Central avenue the bitches at
Riverview we're half full Of back
water, showing that these points were
on a level with the water in the
river. The Little river was bank full
of back water clear up to Elm street
and into Riverside park. The low
lands from Griswold park clear across
TO the ice plant on the West Side, a
mile and a half, was a solid body Of
water. Some of the people north Of
Douglas avenue on the West Side
moved out yesterday and others
whose homes had higher foundations
held the fort entirely surrounded by
water.
People watched the clouds and
many were happy when DR.. johnson
reported no indications of rain. 1t
was conceded by everybody that we
needed rain on the corn fields on the
uplands, but the question was what
if it rains and raises the Little river,
1t was already bank full and a rise
would send the water down through
the center Of the city.
Farmers who came in from north Of
the city reported the corn fields on
the bottom lands along the Big river
flooded and in some places the current
was strong enough to break down the
corn. The general impression last
night was that the water had reached
its highest stage for the reason that
the river has become so wide that an
immense volume of water additional
would be required to make any per-
ceptible difference.

About 2 o'clock Wednesday morning the

to be for a fire in a small house owned by

as the fire department could do nothing.
The house was wholly consumed.

seems a well defined sentiment of our citi-
zens against the unusually free sale of in
toxicants here, which has seemingly been
going on for some months.

during the war, and when Gen. Butler
took that city it was ascertained from the

doomed to be hanged on the following Sun
day. Mr.. Fellows was one of the seven.
He becamethe confidential adviser of Gen.
Butler. He has been a Mason since 1850,
and is now the Oldest Mason of the SD
degree in the southern jurisdiction, having
been admitted to that degree in 1857. He
was grand master of the knights Templar
of the United States from 1871 TO 1874,
and while holding that position he was
decorated with the grand cross of the tenn
pie by the Prince of Wales, a new order
instituted by the Prince upon his becom-
ing Grand Master of the United Masonic
organizations of Great Britain and Ire
land. This endowment was accompanied
with the very rich jewels and regalia of
the order. No other Mason in the United
States was honored in like manner.

they were employed. They gave their
names as Agnes Golden and Mildred Hin
and residence as Keene, n. II. Mr.. Walker
thought it safe to trust them and thew
went on their way with $11 and S12 worth
of goods respectively. A little later in the
day Mr., Walker asked the foreman at the
canning factory if the young women had
money due them and found one had 81 and
the other 80 cents. 1t dawned upon Mr..
Walker that they had got the goods under
false pretenses. Accordingly he invited
them to return the goods in hurry. They
were found at Walpole where they boarded
at one house and lodged at another. We
understand that Agnes Golden belongs at
Rockingham and Mildred Hill at North
Walpole.

Presidents DAY nj Atlanta

Tuesday was Presidents day at the At
lanta exposition and the presence Of Presi-
dent Cleveland called out the largest at
tendance yet seen there. Mr.. Cleveland's
speech was short. After praising the ex-
ten; and variety of the exposition he said
it seemed to him an outgrowth of another
exposition inaugurated on American soil
more than 4 century ago, when a new ma
ton was formed and exhibited to the world.
1.-THE success which has attended this ex-
position of products and manufactures is
not altogether due to the quality of the soil
or the character of the people in any of the
contributing states, but it rests largely up
on the fact that these states are members
of beuedcently governed nation, whose
natural resources and advantages every
where have been developed and improved
by the influence of free institutions, and
whose people have been stimulated and en-
couraged by the blessings of personal lib
erty."

it has been withdrawn, because the chal-

James L. Farr of Greenfield Killed by a
Fall.
James L. Farr, "a, died at Greenfield,
Mass, early yesterday morning Sensa-
tional reports were at first circulated to the
effect that he had been murdered. He
went to his barn about o'clock Wednes-
day evening, and was found there uncon-
scious two hours later by his wife. He
never regained consciousness. Brain mat
ter was discharged from the ear, and the
physician thought probable that bullet
had entered that organ. A post mortem
examination showed that the flesh of the
head was badly discolored, and it is now
believed that he died from the effects of a
fall. Mr.. Farr had lived in Greenfield %
years and was a highly respected citizen,
