WATER MAIN BURSTS
AND CARRIES HOUSES AND PART OF
A TRAIN INTO CUYAHOGA RIVER.
One Woman Drowned, Other People
Thrilling Escapes from the Flood.

CLEVELAND, Feb. 11.-At an early hour
this morning an immense water main burst
with terrific force on Franklin avenue hill,
just west of Cuyahoga river, and with the
great volume of water that poured out
several hundred feet of the hill, on
which was located many small frame
houses, was washed into the river
A small one-story frame house. occu-
pied by Mrs. Mary Ravey, sixty years
old. No. Franklin Hill. was inundated and,
with its contents, hurled into the river. Mrs.
Ravey was drowned. Her body was recov-
cred an hour later.
A New York, Pennsylvania & Ohio train
was passing at the foot of the hill at the
time, and the force Of the water carried sew
eral cars into the river. On the cars
were three of the train crew, and the
men were carried down with the cars. Two
OF the men jumped before the river was
reached and escaped. but conductor Edward
Maloney was dumped into the river, and,
but for the assistance of the tenders of the
Columbus-street bridge. would have been
drowned. He was pinned down by the wreck
age, with his head above water. His back
injured internally. When the flood of water
struck the train, Harry Watson a newsboy
was passing along the tracks on his way
line OF freight cars and badly cut about the
head and shoulders.
About forty feet below the spot where Mrs
Ravey's house had stood was situated the
two-story frame house of Sylvester Cotter
recluse. With the sound of rushing water
he sprang from bed and started for the
door. He was too late. The house was
picked up bodily and carried about ninety
feet and then dropped on the edge of a
deep gully, which the water had scooped

toppled over. it's top resting on the bottom
OF the huge hole. Cotter was thrown to the
ceiling OF the room, from which he had
started TO escape. For a moment he was
stunned, but quickly regained his streng an,
climbed from window and reached the
bottom OF the house which was then on top.
There he remained until the waters had
abated and was rescued.

are reported. John McDermott, who lived

It is absolutely impossible at
the present time to tell just how
the vote of this state stands.
From the returns it looks as
though.the entire republican tick
et---with Lpossibly the exception
of Crawford and Jones---is elected,
and the final results may give
them their respective offices. That
there were hundreds of illegal
votes cast for the "People's'' tick
ct there can be no question or
doubt, and stirring up of mat
tiers may show the usual republi-
can majority in the state. If the
republican party is beaten by fair
and honest votes every good re-
publican should abide by the re-
suits, but if such result was reach
ed by colonizing the border coun-
ties then let the matter be
thoroughly investigated and let
the guilty ones receive the pun

c. A. Pillsbury, the Minneapo-

will go higher, and gives the fol-
lowing reasons for his faith:
"Wheat has advanced and will
advance more. The Legitimate

knew it to be; much stronger than
it was when it sold at S1.5O per

down to minimum. My opinion
is that the advance has but Just

From present indications the
political contest in South Dakota
is only we'll begun.

Redfeld Press: The populist
party having the legislature will
be held responsible for fulfilling
the many promises in regarded to
state matters. They have prom
ised reform in management of
state institutions and funds, re-
duction of expenses and reduction
of taxes, reduction of rates on
freight and passenger transpor-
tation, annihilation the pass sys-
tenn, CO troll of trusts and monop-
olies, especially elevators, ETC.,
etc. Now go ahead. It is easy
to promise but hard to fulfill.
They have a chance to try their
hand and here's hoping they will
do something for the good of the
people.

The Yankton Gazette produces
what ought to be unquestlonable
evidence that there was tremen-

lation at all. Yet on election day
one hundred and three men whom
| had never seen in my life came
to our polls and swore in their
votes, and to show the far-reach-
ing conspiracy, for every one of
these illegal voters some populist
of the precinct would come for

ger had resided in his family for
months. Yet when we went out
the next day to look them up not
one of them could be found in the

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent.

From Our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON. d. c., Nov. l3. '96.
The partnership between the
gold democrats and the republi-
cans, which elected Mckinley
president, is not to be dissolved
for some time to come. Details
are unobtainable at this time for
the very good reason that they do
not yet exist, but there is an un-
derstanding between prominent
representatives of both partners
that the Mckinley administration
is to make extraordinary efforts
to secure financial reforms
which will result in permanently
taking the money question out OF
partisan politics, and that the
gold democrats. in and out of
congress- there are very few of
them in---are to cooperate with
the republicans in supporting all
efforts in that direction. One of
the things which the Mckinley
administration will attempt to fl
nally settle will be whether inter-
national bimetallism is merely a
mouthy catch phrase out of which
nothing practical will ever come,
or can be put into practical use.
This is to be done by'compelling,
or trying to compel, the great
European powers to consent to
international bimetallism upon
some basis or else to say once for
all that they will not consent.
How this compelling process is to
be worked is one Of the numerous
problems yet to be solved. The
favorite idea seems to be to use
tariff as persuader. For instance
a hint will be given to Great
Britain that its consent or refusal
to Join in establishing an inter-
national bin1etallic system will
determine how high or how low
the American duties will be upon
English manufactures and pro-
ducts. The advocates of this idea
argue that the only sure way to
convince an Englishman is thro
his pocketbook. But whatever
| is done, the intention is either to
secure International b1metallism
or to convince the country that
there is no hope of its ever being
secured. In this the silver men
may be counted Upon for assist
ance, but in other things not yet
actually proposed but which are
being considered the silver mer
will be most likely found oppos.
ing the Mckinley administration
by every method in their power
and in the senate their opposition
will be very serious matter.
The impression is rapidly gain
ing ground that the republicans
in the senate can, if they SO de.
sire, pass the house emergenc,

visers will be taken.

President McLinley's official adj
vlsers will be taken.
While there are number of
members of the diplomatic corps
in Washington who do not like
the submission of the dispute
over Venezuela's boundary to ar
bitration, the corps is unanimous
in believing that the treaty agreed
upon is the greatest diplomatic
triumph eyer won by the United
States. For the first time since
the PRONUNCIATION of the Monroe
doctrine it is recognized by an
European power and the greatest
one at that. Hereafter that doc
trine will take it's place among
the laws of nations, and the
right of the United States
to interfere in any disputes with
European or other foreign powers
involving the acquisition of terri
tory upon the American conti-
nent will never again be denied.
In an international sense the final
decision of the Venezuelan boun-
Diary arbitration doesn't amount
to row of pins, but England's
recognition Of the Monroe doc
trine is an event of the first mag
nitude in the affairs of the world,
and the diplomats quickly recog-
nlzed it as such.

silver senators caused to be pig
eon-holed at the last session.
Senator Morgan of Alabama, af-
ter stating that he would not op-
pose the passage of the bill, al
though he would not promise to
vote for it, expressed himself
thusly concerning the attitude of
othez senator's: 'Further oppo-
sition to the Dingley bill by the
silver republicans, the gentlemen
who bade farewell to their old
party at St. Louis, | do not antic-
ipate at the coming session. They
fully demonstrated their fealty to
to the cause of silver in the last
session and have nothing to gain
at the present time by continu-
alton of such opposition" Mr..
Morgan thinks that the state of
business three months hence will
determine whether a spring ses-
siou of the 6fty-fifth congress will
be called as soon as President
Mckinley assumes Office. There
will be republican opposition to
taking up the Dingley tariff bill
in the senate this winter, and it
may be effective if the republicans
are sure to control the senate af-
ter the 4th of March. In fact,
the strength of the opposition
will be governed entirely by the
control of the senate. If the re-
pulicans control it the opponents
of the Dingley bill will argue
that it is useles to adopt tempo
rary tariff law only intended to
be in effect two years, when in
few months a permanent protec-
ton measure can be perfected and
passed. Those republicans who
believe in taking everything in
sight when you have an oppor-
tunity will try to have the Ding
ley bill passed anyway.
One of the curious things about
current cabinet speculations is
that nine out out of every ten pol
iticians who will talk about cab
met probabilities appear to take
it for granted that New England
will not be represented in the Nc
Kinley cabinet, because they are
confident that Speaker Reed will
decline the offer that most
people think will b e
made him to become member OF
the cabinet. The tenth man will
argue that President Mckinley
will not slight section that was
as loyal to him as New England
was and will point out the excel
lent cabinet material she has in
men like Dingley of NJ in e,
Lodge of Massachusetts,, Aldrich
of Rhode Island, and others OF
Iequal prominence and ability.
Cabinet guessing is unproductive
at best, but your correspondent
would certainly not leave New
England out of any attempt te
naH,s the sections from which

THE WANDERER.

Upon q mountain height, far from the sea,
found shell,
And to my listening ear the lonely thing
Ever a song of ocean seemed to sing,
Ever u tale of ocean seemed to tell.
Fow came the shell upon that mountain
height?
All, who can say
Whether there dropped by some too careless
hand
Or whether there cast when ocean swept the
land,
Ere the Eternal had ordained the dayP
Strange, WAS it not? Far from its native deep,
One song it sang,
Sang of the awful mysteries of the tide,
Sang of the misty sea, profound and wide,
Ever with echoes Of the ocean rang.
And as the shell upon the mountain height
Sings Of the sea
So do ever, leagues ard leagues away,
So do l ever, wandering where l may,
Sing, o my home; sing, o my home, of thee!
