TEN PERISH IN A SWOLLEN CREEK
Cloudburst Caused . Sudden Flood That
swept Houses Away.

FRANKFORT, KY, July 2l.-A
cloudburst at Benson's Creek, four
miles from here, resulted in the
drowning of at least ten persons to-
day. They were James Bradley, a
farmer, his wife, and FIVE children,
and Mrs. Bryant, widow, and two
children.
The creek is IN the middle OF the
town, and the Louisville and Nash
vile Railroad bridge across it was
swept away. Mrs. Bryant kept a
toll-gate near the bridge. The little
dollhouse was right on the creek,
and just across from James Brad
ley's. The Conway mill, just above,
was the first to go. Its timbers
must have swept away the Bryant
and Bradley houses. These houses
themselves must have hit the rail
road bridge, as no mill timbers are
seen below. The bridge was swept
away with terrible force. Every
thing about it, iron and all, excep:
the main abutment, is gone.
All railroad trains from Frank
fort, Lexington. and intermediate
points are cut off from Louisville.
Ten minutes after the cloudburst,

a MARVELLOUS DISCOVERY.
A Light which VIII Ponetrate Organic
Substance.

Substance.
New York, Jan. GA dispatch to a
local paper from London says: The
noise of wars alarms should not distract
attention from the marvellous triumph
Of science which is reported from
Vienna. II 8 announced that Professor
Routtgen. Of the Wurzburg university,
has discovered light which, for the
purposes Of photography, will pene-
trate flesh and most organic substances.
The professor has succeeded In photo
graphing metal weights which were in
a closed wooden case; also a mans
hand which show only the bones, the
flesh being invisible. The Chronicle
correspondent says the discovery Is
simple. The professor takes vacuum
glass pipe with an induction current
going through II, and by means Of rays
which the pipe emits, photographs on
ordinary Photographic plates In con-
trast with the ordinary rays Of light
these ray penetrate organic matter and
other Opaque substances just as ordi-
nary rays penetrate glass.
He has succeeded in photographing
hidden metals with cloth thrown over
the camera. The rays penetrated not
only the wooden case containing the
metals but the fabric in front Of the
negative. The professor is already
using the discovery to photograph
broken limbs and bullets in human
bodies.

union as States, and we favor the early
admission Of all the Territories having
| the necessary population and resources to
| entitle them to statehood, and while they
remain Territories we hold that the OFF,
cials appointed to administer the gov-
erDment Of any Territory together with
the District OF Columbia and Alaska,
should be bona fide residents OF the Ter
ritory or district In which their duties are
to be performed. The Democratic party
believes in home rule and that all public
lands OF the United States should be APP
proprated TO the establishment OF free
homes for American citizens. We rec
ommend that the Territory OF Alaska be
granted delegate In Congress, and that
the general land and timber laws Of the
United States be extended to said Terri
tory.
We extend our sympathy to the people
OF Cuba In their heroic struggle for liber-
ty and Independence.
We are opposed to life tenure In the
public service. We favor appointments
based upon merit, fixed terms OF Office and
such an administration Of the civil service
laws as will afford equal opportunities to
all citizens OF ascertained fitness.
The Federal Government should care
for and improve the Mississippi river and
other great waterways OF the Republic, 80
as to secure for the interior states easy

When any waterway. Of the republic is OF

Government such aid should be extended
upon definite plan OF continuous work
until permanent Improvement is secured.
We declare II 10 be the unwritten law
Of this republic, established by the Gus
toms and usages Of hundred years, and
sanctioned by the examples OF the great.
est and wisest OF those who founded and
have maintained our Government. that
no man should be eligible for third term
OF the Presidential Office.
The constitution Of the United States
guarantees 10 every citizen the rights OF

cratic party has always been the exponent

firms It's devotion TO these fundamental

The committee appointed to see
about the bicycle track-that it
was properly graded by the con.
tractor-was called out on Satur-
day to receive the work, as the gen.
tleman who did it said be was
through. The committee com
posed of Messrs Shaw, Kane and
Mccartney viewed the track, as
they did the profles made before
and after the work was done, and
they concluded the contractor did
not come up to his agreement by a
long jump and they did not receive
the track, therefore Withheld the
pay according to agreement, The
contractor said he did all he con-
tracted to do and thus the matter
stands. We would suggest that
had the dirt taken out of the cut at
the upper end, been wheeled to the
the lower part of the track, where
it should have been taken, the track
would have been all right. We
hope the committee will yet have
the surplus dirt taken from the hill
side, where it has been dumped and
placed on the lower part of the
track and raise it at least two feet
from its present grade, We would
then have a good track, and there
would be no exertion to pull over
if.

A GOOD THING, sIGE.IT.

Texas has good laws between the
covers OF its law books, and ther
there are some not so good. The
assignment law, is one that in It's
present bearing, does all of our
merchants a hurtiul harm, DESTROYS
their credit aud makes many of them
60 to the wall, who would otherwise
succeed.
As the law now stands, a mer-
chantcan turn his stock over to
any member of his family, or an
outsider and claim a bona fde sale
and the man in st, Louis who sold
him the goods has no way in Gods
world to make him pay, or recover.
This law, We learn, was framed by
the wholesale men of Galveston and
passed at their suggestion, in the
interest of Texas wholesale mer-
chants,a and it has destroyed the very
men whom it was designed to bene-
hit, and those merchants abroad,
who now extend credit to Texas
merchants, do so with trembling
and much fear, for they know they
are running desperate chances to
collect should the merchant take it
into his head to pay some old family
debt, orlet some bank close him out
on paper due. The upshot of the
matter has had a tendency to heap
obloquy on all honest merchants
credit, and at the same time make
them compete with men who can
underSell them because of these
protective laws. We have had
mailed to us a petition from the
wholesale merchats of New Orleans,
addressed to the 25th Legislature,
asking that body to amend the
laws of assignment, and after read
ing it, we think it nothing but right
and honorable that their demand
be complied with. The petition
which they have mailed out for
signers reads:
I'VE, the undersigned citizens,
respectfully petition and in all seri-
business urge the honorable mem
bers of the Senate and House of
Representatives of the 25th Legis-
lature of Texas to vote for an
amendment to the assignment law,
prohibiting preferences.
''We are opposed to the deed OF
trust system and believe every cred
itor should be treated alike. Such
amendment will return to our state
the business of a large number OF
wholesale houses that have with
drawn, and enable many Texas mer-
chants to increase their credit or
get extensions from foreign credit.
orS, because the foreign houses will
then know that they stand upon
the same footing as local creditors
and that no advantage can be taken
of them. 1t will destroy uneasiness,
restore confidence, prevent failures
in many instances and bring peace
and prosperity to our merchants
generally"

THE WRECKS OF 1895.
An Appalling Record of Marine Disasters
for III. Y.ar-ThousandsH Have Perished. \

"The ocean old. centuries old. strong as
youth and as uncontrolled" The year of
1895 will go down as the blacklist and most
disastrous of the century. The taking
away of poor Jack" this year has been
awful and thousands of widows and father
less children mourn for the ship that will
never come back. In the list given below
is contained only those wrecks which in
volve loss of life. No attempt has been
made to accurately record the sacrifice of
sailors through accidents in harbor,
through being washed overheard or the
suicides at sea. Space prohibits any at
tempt to give the fatal mishaps of the kind.
The disasters to the pleasure craft through
the summer months, while many and
alarming, are not contained in the list
because they do not properly come under
the head of marine fatalities.
In the appended tables II will be found
that the most serious disasters of the year
were the loss of the North German Lloyd
steamer Elbe, the Spanish Warship Reina
Regenta, the Pacific mai, steamer Colima,
the China steamer Catterthun, the
French steamer Dom Pedro. the Spanish
steamer Gravana, the Italian steamer
Maria T., the Chinese transport Kung PAT
and the Brazilian steamer Perceira. In
these nine wrecks alone 1870 souls persisted
Not woman OF some eighty on board was
saved from the Colima. AS a result of this
wreck the Mexican government issued or
dcrs to detain In future all foreign boats
touching at Mexican ports in which cargo
is not properly loaded entirely in the hold.
There We're but twenty-five survivors of
the Elbe. twenty-seven OF the Dom Pedro
and four from the Catterthun. Other big
wrecks during the year, which. however.
did not Involve loss of life. were the French
liner L'Amcriquc, Ward liner Cienfuegos.
