GREAT FLOODS Do DAMAGE.

NEW YORK, Sept ga Herald
special from Havana via Key West
says: The great floods which have oc-
Cured in Pinar del Rio and along the
western trocha, are not alone paralyz-
ing the local military movements in the
west, but may also retard for some
weeks more the carrying into effect of
Captain Weyler's new plans for per-
sonal operations against Antonio Maceo.
Troop ships from Spain enter port
daily and bring reenforcements. About
1000 men have been disembarked
Many of these are veterans of former
campaigns here and elsewhere, and
consequently are expected to achieve
better results than the recruits former
ly brought over. Apparently they are
anxious for the fray. A majority of
them are landed across the bay in
Regla, and then are distributed thence
to different points in the island by rail
or coast transports.
The Heralds cores ondent in Santi-
ago De Cuba says that the American
prisoners, Frank Agramonte and julius
SAM have been transferred from Moro
castle to the civil prison in the city, to-
gether with Gonzales a. Venezuelan
general. 1t is expected that they will
all soon be called for trial The Ameri-

IRISH AMNESTY ASSOCIATION.

NEW YORK, Sept 27.-At a meeting
of the Irish Amnesty association this
afternoon communication from the
Irish Prisoners Fund association was
read, In which the latter body an
nounced its withdrawal from the con-
ference formed for taking charge of the
present prisoners who have arrived
here, together with the reply announc-
ing that the Amnesty association in
tended to continue to care for the pris-
oners in this country, was presented
for action.
After discussion it was decided to
hold demonstration in the Grand
opera house on Oct. 25 to express in
dignation at the treatment of Irish
prisoners in English prisons, and to
waken sentiment which shall induce
interference in behalf of the prisoners
still remaining there
A motion that committee be APP
pointed to have charge of the care
taking of DR.. Thomas Gallagher and
Albert Whitehead, the two political
prisoners who recently arrived here,
was opposed on the ground that it
looked like an effort to get control of
two insane men.

CLEVELAND. O., Sept. 27.-Just be-
fore dark tonight, Edward Valid, a
ship carpenter residing at SO Mulberry
street, narrowly escaped lynching at
the hands of an Infatuated mob of
west side citizens. Waid came home
under the influence of liquor, quarrelled
with Iiswife and finally struck her. The
14-year-old son Edward seized his
fathers arm and endeavored to quiet
him down. whereupon the brute be-
came enragad and threw the boy down
the stairway leading to the street,
distance Of twenty feet. The little fell
COW screamed for help, and rolled out
writing in commissions and frotlling at
The mouth
d. c. A. Turner was summoned to at
tend the boy and a crowd quickly col
1ected to revenge the brutal outrage.
Rev. John McHale, a Catholic priest,
was FASTENED TO the scene and admin
istered the last sad rites OF the church
TO the dying boy. Meanwhile the
crowd increased to a mob. which was
goaded into fury by the sight of the
helpless child struggling in convul-
sioas on the pavement, until the clamor
for revenge swelleG to an ominouS
roar.
An impromptu delegation of forty
forced their way into the house TO drag
out the inhuman father, and others
were dispatched for a rope. Wald had
locked himself in bedroom. The door
was broken open, and The brute dragged
into the street fighting desperately. The
police arrived before the rope appeared.
The mob gave battle TO the police, de-
zermined not to allow Valid to escape
them. During the scrimmage, the
prisoner broke loose from those who
were holding him and ran down an
alley toward the river. The mob with
a rope was close at his heels and when
the fugitive reached the river, knowing
that his chance for life was far less
than ever if captured, plunged into
the cold muddy water of the Cuyahoga
and was drowned. His body has not
been recovered. The boy wiz die and
the wife's injuries may also prove
fatal.

RAISING LARGE TREES.

In the vicinity of Philadelphia they
have a fashion of lifting large trees
where the grade has been raised that
does not seem to be practiced elsewhere
Two ropes are attached to the top of
the tree, so that each can be drawn in
different directions. A trench is dug
around the base of the tree, the circle
being as wide as may seem judicious.
When dug to the depth desired the
earth is forked away from the ball on
one side and a block set under the
roots as sort of fulcrum. The rope
on that side is drawn over the block,
and the result is the lifting up of the
mass of roots on the opposite side. A
little earth is then placed under these
elevated roots, and the opposite rope
drawn to that side. This lifts the
roots over the block, and more earth
is placed here. The tree, by the aid OF
the opposite ropes, is then drawn
backward and forward, more earth De-
ing placed at each turn. In a very
short time the tree may be elevated
as many feet as may be desired, stand
ing on the summit of a firm mound of
earth. Trees twenty-five to fifty feet
high, with trunks twelve to eighteen
inches in thickness, have been lifted in
this way with very little check to- fu-
true grow th.-Meechans Monthly.

Smith said. until their departure, they
were unable to get an hours work OF
any kind. Twenty-Five acres of ground

shelter their families. Soon after their
arrival, the rainy season began and
with it came a deathly malariaI fever

which carried away forty of the new

doing its deadly work when he left for

The Body Then Placed ON the Troll

NORRISTOWN, Pa, Sept. 27.-While
serving his route this morning a news
paper carrier discovered the body of a
woman lying on the trolley car tracks
a short distance outside of the borough
limits. The carrier drew the body from
the tracks and summoned assistance.
An examination disclosed that murder
had been done. The woman's clothing
was torn, her hair was disheveled, and
on her throat, plainly visible, were
marks of the fingers which had choked
her life out From the position of the
body it would seem that the slayer Of
the woman had placed the body on the
track in the hope that a trolley car
would strike it and mutilate the corpse
so badly that the crime would be con-
cealed.
The body was identified as that of

man well known here She was seen

AN Array WITHOUT A HEAD.
Peculiar Condition of the French
Military Forces.

According to the regulations the
minister of war is COMMUNICATIVE
of the army, but an act passed in 1883
provides that this high dignitary must
remain in Paris if a war breaks out.
The actual command will be assumed
by a majors general designated for that
purpose by the ministry-at present
! General Saussier. Well and good. But
this officer has no right to prepare the
( army according to his ideas in time Of
peace. He receives the command
over the different corps from another
1 man, with whom, perhaps, ne differs
materially in opinion. The RESPONSE
! bility for the state of the army is thus
! divided, and cannot be fastened upon
any one person. Further, the highest
rank in the French army is that of di-
vision general. There are some higher
functions, such as the command OF an
army corps and the army inspection,
but these functions are attended to by
division generals, who stand in the
same rank with their interiors in COM
| mand. In times of peace this causes
unpleasant jealousy, during war time
it may lead TO conflicts and disorder.
With regard to the commanders of
| army corps the matter is not so bad,
as they are in touch with the troops
| and leaders under their command. But
how is a general to command an army
if the chiefs of four or five army corps
and some twenty divisions all hold the
same rank as himself? VIII he be
obeyed?
The improperly of this state of
things is well known to the French,
but the conditions of the republic ex-
clude the possibility of suitable re-
forms. If any general were given an
extra feather for his hat or an extra
star on the collar of his coat he might
use his new authority against the re-
public. On the other hand, the nun
dred or so division generals hold each
other in check Yet the responsible
heads of the army fear that serious
difficulties will arise in case OF war.
and the present minister of war has
drawn up a bill for the mitigation of
the evil. He suggests the appointment
of a responsible council of war, and the
creation of a new rank, that of army
general" twenty-five of the division
generals are tc be raised to it, and
they must be chosen from the officers
which already act as army command
ers and army inspectors.
1t is, however doubtful that even
this moderate reform will be allowed
to pass the chambers. Already the rad

clare that Billot is preparing for
coup detat. On the other hand, the
military press points out that it would
be much better to give the future COM
manders of armies a higher hierarchic
position, and to enable them to exercise
some power over the troops they are to
lead in time of war But the military
authorities understand that, if twenty
five commanders are raised to a higher
rank, the present difficulty in the APP
pointment of chiefs is, at least, mar
rowed down. More radical reforms
would be likely to meet with still great
er opposition than the proposition
which General Billot has formulated
with the assistance of his civilian fell
low ministers-Berlin Rundschau.

the department of psychology at Yale,
occupied the college pulpit today His
sermon was a severe censure of selfish
ness. Professor Ladd scored the advo-
Gates of high protective tariff, and
the silver men. He dweH on the selfish
ness of politics of today. His opinion
was that if the silver mine owners con-
fessed, their main anxiety was to sell
their silver at a profit of 40 per cent,
and were it not for the working
classes. whom they profess to
champion, their followers would
soon leave them. This remark
caused something of a stir and
the reference to the silverites was the
talk of the campus today.

Take my life, and make it sweet,
With a shown of dreamy days;
Place me in the MINDLESS ways.
Where a. Naiad sometimes strays,
Making music with her feet.
Put me in the lap of June,
Where the breath of roses rare
Gathers all the golden air;
Set me in the meadows. where
Rivers sing a summer tune.
Lead me to the lovely land
Where my sweetest fancy dwells;
She shall make songs water-weHs
Clear as golden honey cell.
Through a land of flower bells
We will wander hand in hand.
Make my roof of bluest skies,
Let a dreamy silence deep
All my rosy siumber keep;
Love shall waken me from sleep
With a kiss upon mine eyes.
