URBANA's FEELING LESS UGLY.
Sheriff McLain Returns Home But
Capt. Leonard StIm Absent.

Urbana, o., June 7.-Sherif McLain
reached home on the Big Four train from
Springfield this afternoon. He was met
at the depot by Deputy Sheriff Kiry, in a
cab, and was hurried off to his mothers
home
Mayor Canson wrote a card to-day In
1t he condemns mobs. He says that all
was done by the sheriff to save Mitchell
that could have been DONE and if more
force had been used, men, women and
children would have been killed.
Capt. Leonard was in Cincinnati lncog-
nito Saturday and Sunday. He said to
Col Hunt, his Cincinnati host MY busi-
ness is ruined and my family broken up.
don't think 1 shall ever go back to Ur-
bana. dream of the terrible occurrences
and wake with start at night. The din
OF that bowling mob is in my ears.
hear that the father of Bell, who was
killed, has threatened to shoot me on
sight. 1 am going to leave the city, bat
my whereabouts will be kept secret"
The feeling here has subsided very
much. A strong reaction has set in, and
the best public opinion tonight favors
protection to the fullest for Capt. Leon
ard and his company.
Columbus, o., June Gov. Bushnell
tonight began an official investigation of
the military phase of the Urbana affair,
Adj. Gen. AXline assisting him.
The governor was in his office until late
tonight and heard the statements of
Col. Anthony of the Third regiment
Capt. Leonard and Lieut.. Campbell and
W. G.. Clifford of the Urbana Company.
1t developed that Sheriff McLain did
not have telephone communication with
the governor on Friday night as had been
reported. Capt. Leonard stated that at
the time the governor talked over the tel
ephone, as the governor believed with
the sheriff, the latter was in the jail and
had no means of getting to a telephone.
1t is believed that some officious person.
representing himself TO be the sheriff,
communicated with the governor, and
that the real facts were not made known
the idea being to convey a false Impress
ion to the governor.
The fact that Sheriff McLain telegraph
ed for troops is not denied, but the pre-
vious misinformation regarding the situa-
ton telephoned to the governor, misled
him in judging of the necessities of the
occasion when the formal call for troops
was made.
The governor will investigate the matter
thoroughly. He has received assurance
that it will be perfectly safe for the Off
GERS of the Urbana company to return
home, and they will go to Urbana in a
couple of days. Prominent officials and
citizens of Urbana has advised against
civil action in Champagne county, and the
talk of indicting the officers Of the Jrr-
bana militia, it is now believed. will come
to naught.

FRANCES FEARFUL FLOOD.
DEsOLATION FAR GREATER THAN
FIRST SUPPOSED.

Destroying Other PrOperty-NearIy
All the Riverside Factories Des-

wrecked.
Paris, June THE latest details from
Grenoble, in the department of Isere,
snow that the desolation wrought by the
cloudburst, which caused the River Norge
10 overflow it's banks, is far more extend
ed than was at first supposed The deluge
of water caused enormous landslides of
trees and sand from the mountains into
the valley, overwhelming houses, burying
cattle and destroying other property. In
many villages the fleeing inhabitants left
everything behind them. Almost all the
riverside factories were destroyed, and no
fewer than 500 workshops were wrecked.
The town of Voiron presents a lament
able appearance. All the bridges are gone
and the streets are filled with masses of
debris washed out from the factories and
shops, bales Of cloth, rolls of silk and
similar manufactured products, while the
roads of the town and the district round
about are simply impossible and choked
with rocks and fallen trees or quilted with
great washouts. Volron is without gas, as
the gas works have been destroyed.
Many of the principal merchants are alb
solutely ruined and thousands of work.
men are not only without employment,
but without shelter.
So sudden was the on-rush of waters
that hundreds barely escaped with their
lives.
In many of the cafes and shops the oc-
cupants were up to their shoulders in
water before they knew what had hap
pened. 1t is reported that family of six
perished, but thus far only two bodies
have been found. Many stories are told
of heroic rescues.
Along the whole valley the crops are
completely destroyed, and the farms them
selves are all more or less damaged. AS
the waters slowly subsIde, they leave be-
hind great stretches of mud, in which the
soldiers. aided by the inhabitants, are
working ceaselessly at cutting channels
to allow the waters, gathered in hollows,
TO return to the river.
The municipal authorities have decided
TO blow up the dam at Castellon, to facill-
tate the escape of the water, which is
still three feet in many houses, especially
at Moirans, where buildings are constant

CIVIL SERVICE LAW DOOMED.
Printing ONCE to BE Taken From
Under Its Regulations.

Washington, June 7.-As soon as con-
gress adjourns, the President will issue
an order taking the government printing
office beyond the reach of the civil service
regulations.
At present employees in that Office enjoy
to a certain extent the protection Of the
civil service law, in accordance with an
order issued by Mr.. Cleveland while Presi-
dent.
A large number of printers, binders,
pressmen and other employees in the gov
ernment printing Office are from North
Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and
other southern states. II is admitted in
administration circles that the new order
contemplates a large number of removals
to make place for republicans, and there
is great CONSERVATION among those en-
pioyes who were appointed through demo-
cratic influence before the civil service
was applied to the printing Office.

MISS IDA DENT WRIGHT MARRIED.
Once Figured as the Fiance OF Gen.
Ezctn of san Salvador.


New York, June Miss Ida Dent
Wright, daughter of Mrs Marie Robin
son Wright, was married to DIR. Walter E.
Seymour of Boston to-day. Only a few
intimate friends We're present. Immedi-
ately after the ceremony the bride and
groom and Mrs. Wright left the city for
Washington. DR.. and Mrs. Seymour ex-
pect to go abroad later.
Especial interest is attached to this we'd
ding because Of the fact that the bride
who is a native OF Atlanta. was at one
time engaged TO Gen. Antonio Ezeta, vice
president of San Salvador In the winter
of lS92-9S. Mrs Wright and her daughter
visited San Salvador and Miss Wright
met Gen. Ezeta. Soon afterward their en-
gagement was announced and the wedding
was set for a day In October, 1898. In st.
Patrick's cathedral, this city. The revo-
luton i'm San Salvador caused a postpone
ment of the wedding. When the Ezeta
brothers We're overthrown, Gen. Ezeta es-
capped TO San Francisco on board the Uni
ted states ship Bennington. The eXtradi-
ton proceedings brought by the new San
Salvador government against the United
States for the possession OF Gen. Ezeta
was a matter of great public interest in
the summer of 1894 Miss Wright worked
hard in the interest of her fiance, appeal
Ing to President Cleveland and members
OF the cabinet not to surrender Gen. Ezeta.
Judge Morrow decided that the offense OF
Gen. Ezeta was not covered by the extra
dltion treaty.
A few months later the engagement OF
Gen. Ezeta and Miss Wright was broken
by mutual consent, but the two remained
firm friends.
