Special to the indianapolis Journal.
BEDFORD. Ind. March 9-Another hard
rain set in this morning and will greatly
add TO the enormous loss already caused by
the flood. Two million dollars would not
cover the damages in this county. The rail-
roads are the greatest losers. although
many farms have been ruined having the
soil swept away and leaving in its stead a
deposit of sand and driftwood The several
new gravel roads in the county are de-
molished, not a trace of them being left,
and bridges on railroads and public high
ways have been carried IL the rivers. Rail-
road traffic in this vicinity was never be-
fore so badly crippled, there having been
no through trains for five days. The city
water works plant lies thirty feet in water
and the city's supply is cut off, At least
two hundred head of cattle. twenty horses
and five hundred sheep and hogs have
persisted. Farmhouses and barns in the
low land have been washed away and many
families driven TO the hills. Parties COM
ing IN from koleen tonight state that a
family of four named Wilson was drowned
in Richland creek while escaping from their
floating home

blood Subsiding at Mitchell.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
MITCHELL. Ind, March 9.-The high
water is subsiding and White river has been
falling all day north and east of here,
though rain still continues. The railroads
are still tied up, the Baltimore & Ohio
Southwestern being the heaviest sufferer.
Several work trains and all available men
have been pressed into service and 1t is
thought the road will soon be able to ham
die trains between Mitchell and Cincinnati,
where they have been abandoned since
Thursday, but the condition west of here
is rapidly growing worse. The river is ris-
ing at Shoals. which is mostly submerged,
and the track from Huron to Loogootee
is covered five feet deep. The MOnon will
run trains through from Chicago to Louis
vile within twenty-four hours. Mr.. CT. K.
Lowell, general superintendent, is on the
ground personally directing the work in
Washout places north of here. Two hundred
feet of track is being laid in two feet of
water filled in with rock. 1t now appears
the worst is over. No fatalities have been
reported though many are homeless. The
loss will reach hundreds of thousands of
dollars.

SUIT OVER A CREMAToRY
An Assigned Claim Against Ramish
g. Marsh

A crematory was the subject of le-
gal controversy in Judge Clarke's court
Yesterday. The action was brought by
w. H Holmes against the firm of Ra-
mish & Marsh to recover Sill on an as
signed claim purchased of the Dixon
Sanitary Crematory company of Find
lay, o.
1t seems that several months ago Ra-
mish & Marsh entered into a contract
with the crematory company to act as
their exclusive agents in this state. They
We're to erect crematories under the spe-
oial direction in every case Of an expert
to be sent out from headquarters at
Fmdlay, o., and We're to pay royalty
of $1,000 on every one sold besides de-
fraying all the travelling and other ex-
penses of the inspector who should be
sent to superintend the work.
Not long ago one of these crematories
was erected in this city but did not work
satisfactorily and Ramish & Marsh lost
S2i0O on the contract price, which they
claim was deducted on account Of Ger.
tain guarantees which they We're au-
thorized by the company to make. When
they came to settle up the agents insist
ed upon holding back the amount so
lost.
The company then assigned the claim
TO Holmes. who has brought suit to re-
cover the amount alleged to be still due.
The case was not finished yesterday and
will be taken up again today.

ACTED RASHLY
A Man Had His Neighbor Arrested
Without Cause

! A sage once remarked that the wisest
word is often the one which is left un-
said and the wisest action the one which
is left undone. This saying was brought
forcibly to mind in Judge York's court
yesterday morning during the course Of
a trial in which Henry Rott was suing
Clarence Lee for damages on the ground
of malicious arrest and prosecution.
Both parties live at Pomona. About
year ago Lee was one day near Rotts
house when he heard a disturbance in
side. He took a hasty glance through
window and thought he saw Rott
strike his wife in the face. He did not
remain to investigate the matter, but
in his oVerzealousness rushed off to a
Justice of the peace and had a complaint
issued against Rott, who was arrested
and subsequently tried before Justice
Barnes at Pomona.
AT the trial 1t developed that Mrs. Rott
is insane and often becomes violent. AT
such times it requires force to manage
her In this particular instance it ap-
pears that Rott was only trying to pre-
vent his wife from njuring herself. The
case was dismissed and the defendant
was fully exonerated from all blame The
matter was published in the local papers
at the time and gained for the family
considerable undesirable notoriety
Rott then brought suit in the superior
court against Lee for $4100 damages al
legged to have been sustained through ma
licious arrest and prosecution. The case
was heard in Judge York's court yester-
day morning, and the facts ELECTED were
as given above.
In rendering his decision Judge York
said that he did not think there was suf-
ficient evidence of malice on the part of
Lee TO find for the plaintiff. He had been
overzealous and in not making an in
vestigation had acted without any dis
cretion in the matter There could be
no doubt that he had injured Rott III
! having him unjustly arrested, yet it did
not seem that he had acted maliciously

and humane duty, therefore, to bring
such facts to the attention of all inva-
lids. that they may be benefited thereby.
He considers it his professional duty
a duty which he owes to suffering hu-
manity-to donate his infallible cure to
all afflicted
Chemistry and silence are daily as
tonishing the world with new wonders.
1t is no longer safe to say that anything
may not be achieved. The researches
and experiments of this great chemist,
patiently carried on for years, have cul-
minated in results as beneficial to hu-
manity as can be claimed for any mod
ern genius or philosopher.

G. E. Church and w. E. Tupper, the
defendants by Walter j. Trask.
/ The case was opened by Mr.. Tupper,
who asserted that on March 26th, 1896,
and at other dates. the defendants, own
ers and publishers of newspaper called
the Daily Evening Expositor. made the
most sweeping assaults upon the char
acter of Rev. l T. Johnson, the plaintiff,
for which he prays judgment for $4,000
Counsel for plaintiff then said he would
show the character of his client was
above reproach, and went over the same
ground as that covered in the previous
suit He then read the articles which
had appeared in the Evening Expositor,
which. he said, were of libelous charac-
ter. The following is an extract from
one of them, which was in an editorial
of March 26th:
He has committed an outrage on the
people of Fresno Every family has been
foully slandered, and the Christian
church to which he processes to belong
has suffered to an extent that should
call forth the deepest sympathies of the
good citizens of Fresno everywhere. His
sweeping assault upon the virtue of the
children and the moral status of the
public schools of Fresno has created
feeling of indignation that nothing but
the most sublime charity can suppress.
The fathers and mothers are insulted,
and every citizen is filled with spirit
of resentment, as he should be, against
the moral leper; his presence in this city
can be dispensed with, and he may be
fortunate if he should get away without
damage to his person"
Other articles were read, showing what
counsel termed the malice of the publica-
tions. After this, the plaintiff was put
upon the witness stand and was cross
examined by w. ]. Trask. Rev. John
son was on the stand until the hour of
but nothing new was
elected Further hearing will be given
the case this morning.

STOLE A BLANKET.
O'Brien Sent 10 Jail for 90 Days
for the Offense.
Detectives Think He Knows Something
About the POssnef Holdup.

william, better known as "Jurl"
O'Bricn was arrested on Mathewson
street last evening by Patrolman Charles
A. Bennett of the Central Police station
for stealing horse blanket from Oryille
l.. Leach. In the Sixth district court this
morning he pleaded guilty and was sent
to the county Jail for % days. If reports
are true, the members of the detective
department have been looking for o Brien
since Thursday morning, February Is.
They think he knows thing or two
about the 'hold up in Possner's saloon
on the corner of Mathewson and West
Exchange streets for since that time he
has not been seen about his usual haunts.
Now that he is in Jail he will be watched
closely and will have To explain TO the
detectives where he was at the time the
"hold up took place.
O'Brien Is well known in the city and
his parents live on Acorn street near the
corner of Atwells avenue. To be i'm Jail
is nothing new for "Jurl" as he spent
ten years in Sing Sing for highway rob
berry, and has been about these planta-
tions three years. About year go he got
into trouble at Westerly and was sent to
Jail from which he was released about
three weeks ago.

THE SHOOTING OF A DOG.
IL Was the Point In Case Before
Appellate Court.

The Appellate Court today heard brief
arguments on the demurrer to special
pleas in the case of William NJ Harris, Jr,
against William ID. Eaton. The important
point that the court Is called on to decide
is under what circumstances man is
justified i'm shooting dog belonging to
another. The plaintiff brings suit to re-
cover for the loss of dog that was killed
by the defendant. As a justification of the
shooting of the animal the defendant sets
up plea in justification of his act that
the dog killed had killed rabbits and fowl
belonging to him and at the time the gun
was fired the defendant maintains the dog
was acting in manner that seemed to
Justify the idea 1t was about to commit
another trespass. The dog when shot
was on the defendants premises.
The plaintiff in his demurrer states that
the circumstances set forth i'm the plea
dil not Justify the killing.
J. W. Hogan is attorney for tho plaintiff
and W B. Vincent represented the dcfcn-
dnnt
