A WATER MAIN BURST.
Washed Houses and Land Away and
Caused Great Damage.


CLEVELAND, Ohio, Feb. 11.-At
an early hour this morning an i'm
menSe water main burst with ter
rife force on Franklin avenue hill,
just west of CuyahOga river, and
several hundred feet of the hill,
on which were located many small
houses, were washed into the river.
A small, One-story frame house,
occupied by Mrs. Mary Ravey, who
was sixty years old, was inundated
and hurled into the river. Mrs.
Ravey was drowned. A New York.
Pennsylvania and Ohio freight
train was passing at the foot of
the hill, and several cars went in
to the river. Three of the train
crew were carried down with the
cars. Two men jumped and es-
capped, but third was dumped in
to the river and badly injured.
The houses were washed along or
dropped into a great pit scOoped
out by the raging water, and much
damage was done.
Many narrow escapes from death
are reported. John McDermott
lived in the rear of his saloon, cor
ner of Franklin avenue and Co.
lumbus street. His wife and two
children slept in back room and
the husband in room adjoining.
About 3 O'Clock the Waterman from
Columbus street bridge aroused Nc
Dermott by breaking his window.
He found his wife sleeping, with a
child on either side, and the water
almost on a level with their heads.
He carried them all to the street
in their night clothes.

Cloary, of Minnesota, and Murphy

the house, as further mark of re-
spect, adjourned.
The action OF the populist sena-
tors in deciding to put their own
ticket in the field for the senate
offices has caused some of the re-
publican senators to doubt the eX-
pediency of attempting to complete
the organization Of that body at
this time, and 1t looks as il this at
tempt would be deferred at least
until there is greater certainty of
accomplishing something more
than now appears to be the case.
Some of the older republican sena-
tors expressed the opinion today
that it would be unwise to tie up
the senate indefinitely over mat
ter of such comparatively small
inheritance.

IN A CALIFORNIA JAIL.
Vagrant Resembling Schlatter, the Healer,
Now in Confinement.

Vagrant Resembling SChlatter, the Healer,
Now in Confinement.
SAN BERNANDINo, Feb. l1.-If
Francis Schlatter, the divine heal
err, who created such excitement in
Colorado and New Mexico, is not
now confined in the county jail on
a charge of vagrancy, there is a
man in jail who certainly resem-
bles him most remarkably. "God
will help me-" said he, in response
to an inquiry as to how he felt this
morning. He believes himself
under the guidance of the AL
mighty. A photograph has been
taken of the prisoner, which re-
sembles the photographs of Schlat-
ter. The face is also very much
like the accepted pictures of the
Saviour. A man named Grant,
who is also confined in jail, says
he saw Schlatter in Colorado, and
that he recognizes the prisoner as
Schlatter. While confined here the
prisoner has been induced to write
his name, which he gives as Eli
jah Lyon, and the hand writing
resembles the writing in some let
tiers of Schlatter's, which are in
the possession of citizens of this
city. He has not been sent to work
in the chain gang since last Satur-
day, and will not be sent out
again.

ADJUSTMENTS.

The "Friends" proved a success
when produced last season. Mr..
Lucius Henderson, who sustains
the leading role, is a pupil of the
famous Joseffy. The second act of
"Friends" is handsomely staged.
Two performances will be given,
Thursday, February 18th, matinee

arrived in the city this morning
to complete arrangements for the
appearance of their star and his
company at the opera house on
Wednesday and Thursday even
ings next, February 18th and goth.
Mr.. Lykens, the manager, is no
stranger in this portion Of the
country, having toured the state
with Maggie Mitchell, the actress
of renown, who has since retired
from the profession. He was also
manager of the Tootle theatre at
st. Joseph for several years. Dixey,
the comedian, of "Adonis" fame,
has never been seen in this portion
of the country, but his name and
fame as a performer are sufficient
guarantee of the quality Of his
entertainment.
