This week number OF our benevo-
Iently- inclined and public spirited citi-
zens took up the matter of doing some
thing for the sufferers by the terrible
mine explosion at New Castle. and the
conclusion reached was that public
ball would be about as satisfactory and
as easy way as any to raise money for
the worthy object in view; so this idea
will be carried out on the evening of
March 10th Tuesday. The county will
furnished hall free; John W. Welch
piano for the occasion: Messrs. Wild
hack, Vancleave and the Cure brothers,
music free, and THE HERALD printing

will contribute literally of both services
and money in sufficient quantity to
make the ball financially one Of the
most successful ever held in Meeker.
The cause is a worthy one. Help it

that the new bridge is very substantial

that the credit OF obtaining the apprc-

to Hon. John ". Lowell, and the
Rangely people will be very ungrateful

Dissensf0n Among shelby Democrats
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

SHELBYVIILE. Ind, May 25.-The De-
mocracy OF this county is in fever of ex-
element this evening over the result of the
primary election last Saturday. The primary
is always held under the Australian law
and is presumed to be a fair and Impartial
contest On account OF the numerous trou-
the people and the saloon men the latter
were somewhat solicitous concerning the men
who would be nominated for county COM
missioners In the North district the oppos-
ing candidates were William Amos, w. p.
Jackson and three others, those named being
the real contestants. The saloon men threw
all their strength TO Amos. When the result
OF the primary was given to the people Sat-
urCay night IL was to the effect that Mr..
jackson had received the nomination by d
majority OF fourteen votes. This was a sore
disappointment 10 the friends Of Amos. This
morning Amos was in town claiming ne was
board, composed OF the inspectors of all the
precincts, met in the city TO make final
count. The result OF this Is that Mr. jack
son was counted out by just three votes This
among the friends of Mr.. Jackson, many of
them boldly asserting that they would not
stand any such treatment, declaring they
would not vote the ticket. From the best
information that can be obtained tonight
his change was made by throwing. out some
so-called mutilated ballots In Washington
and Liberty townships. The one bold feature
or the whole business is that not single
vote was changed that In any way or man.
ner effected the vote OF the other candidates.
Some OF the leading Democrats of the out
townships went to their homes this evening
declaring than high-handed outrage had
been committed and that they felt under no
ooigation TO support ticket nominated

Numerous Railway Bridges Carried
Away and Several Lives Lost.
DUBUQUE, Ia, Nav ga terrific cleo
trio storm. accompanied by deluge of
rain, swept over this section last midnight,
doing immense damage to railroad proper
ty The rainfall was 2.8 inches, and ii
came as suddenly and In such volumes as
if waterspout had burst on the place.
The Mississippi river rose one and three
tenths foot in the past eight hours and is
still rising rapidly. The greatest damage
was to railroad property. Not a train has
come into Dubuque from any direction since
Sunday afternoon. 1t is reported that on
the Illinois Central, between Dubuque and
Sioux City, eighteen bridges were washed
away and another at Bellevue is gone.
North the road is badly washed out. On
the Great Western east Of Dubuque one
bridge is reported down, but on the same
road west the work of the storm was most
disastrous. Lost bridges and washouts and
wires down are reported all along.
The most appalling calamity occurred at
Durango. a small hamlet on the Chicago
Great Western, eight miles north, where
five persons were drowned. The dead at
Durango are: Brakeman James Griffin
and four children of Mrs. Clark, the rail-
road station agent. All were drowned
by the sweeping away Of the little
depot where they had taken refuge
from the flood. Besides the Clark
family there were in the depot

careened to one side. AS the depot turned
over the lights went out and the greatest
confusion prevailed. As the depot careened
the brakeman, James Griffin, "a years DID,
seized the Oldest Clark girl and plunged into
the foood, which now extended from bluff
to bluff distance Of about a half mile The
brakeman and child must have met almost
instant death. The other three children of
Mrs Clark were on the side of the depot
which went down and when 1t rose again a
minute later to continue it's journey down
the stream the three children were missing.
James Dillon and p. Moss managed to catch
the overhanging branches OF a tree and here
they were discovered when a rescuing party
arrived The others remained in the depot
until ii lodged against a tree a mile and a
half from the depot site. The body or one Of

be said Of the contraltos. Barbara Frietcn-
ie'' was popular a choral number. The
style OF the music appealed more generally
to the people than a classic. while the IA,
mliar war tunes, always thrilling, helped
along the effect. The little snatch from DIX

CHICAGO. May ga storm of unusual
severity struck Chicago at 215 o'clock this
morning. Easements in the do Sntown dis
trict were flooded and considerable damage
was done. During the short space Of ten
minutes, from 2:2O to 2:30 O'Clock, nearly two
inches of water FELL The storm was ac-
companied by terrific thunder and light
ming. The sewers were unable to carry away
the water as fast as 1t fell and the streets
became flooded for time. The storm came
at about the hour when the newspapers
were preparing to go to press and the press
rooms of nearly all the morning papers were
flooded. necessMating the calling of assist
ance from the fire department Considerable
damage has been done throughout the city
by the heavy downpour.
During the storm a cottage on North Ash

and carried distance of thirty feet into a
vacant lot. The building was badly twisted
and damaged but Ii held together and the

children, escaped injury with the exception
of Mrs. Densler, who received a severe soap

Many families living in the northern part
of the city narrowly escaped death by in
haling Illuminating gas. During the storm
the pressure in the mains went down just
enough TO put out the ligat, and number
of families who burn gas all night were
awakened by the police TO find their gas
