TOO MUCH WATER
IOWA TOWNS SUFFER SERIOUSLY
FROM FLOODS.
Ottumwa Compelled to Make
Their Escape in Boats - Water
Higher Than 1t Has Been in the
Last Twenty Years Railroad
Traffic Completely Blocked
Levees Break in Many places.

Ottumwa, Iowa, April 2S.-The Des
Moines river, which last midnight was
stationary at the high water mark es-
tablislled by the great flood Of 1892.
suddenly began to climb, and by $
o'clock had added fifteen inches to the
record. The levees broke in many
places, railroad entertainments were
undermined and hundreds of families

lilies v:..,ateI their domiciles, and the
principal streets are being navigated
in row boa!s. At South Ottumwa the
river flows parallel with the main
street. 1t broke across this street and
poured down the residence and bust
ness streets, causing a panic and q
scramble for higher ground. Five
thousand people reside in this suburb.
The water stands four feet deep in
Fairview. A large reservoir situated
at the summit of Court hill is the
source of considerable fear. The re-
cent dowhpour has swollen the sources
of supply and the reservoir is so full
that it threatens to burst and flood
the populous districts just below. AL
though the railroad companies have
made strenuous efforts to save their
property traffic is almost at a stand
still. All the small streams in South
crn Iowa are out of their banks. Rail
road bridges are gone and travel by
highway is out of the question.
Work on the levees before this city
have been progressing since last Fri
day. but q sudden rise destroyed a
great part of the labors. Large forces
are employed in an endeavor to pre-
vent further breaks. The suburbs
have so far been the worst sufferers
aside from the railroads. West OF
tumw:,, a large residence section, is
entirely flooded and the water is still
rising. The inhabitants cling to their
homes, however, hoping that the worst
is 'over. Rich farming lands above and
below the city are inundated. The
flood there has not reached a high
stage but has spread out in many
places to a width of five or six miles.
No loss of life has been, reported but
the damage to property is very large.

sensational Disclosures Regarding

Memphis, Tenn, April 2S.-A special
from Atlanta, Ga, says: Harry A.

Loan and Banking company, who con-
fessed to being a defaulter to the e
tent of $4,000, ard whose friends had
agreed to pay up his shortage to keep
him out of Jail. is now behind the bars
of Fulton prison. At n meeting of the
board of directors of the institution a
brief examination of the books was
made and this resulted in the astound-
ing discovery that the bank, which
vas supposed to be one Of the most
prosperous in the state, had barely a
cents worth of assets. Instead of the
shortage being $4,000 it will be sew
eral times that sum, and instead of
Cassin being the bearer of the entire
guilt it is now believed that at least
Il other conspicuous official will
share Il cell with him within the next
few hours.

MANY PEOPLE INJURED.
Underground Railway Coach De-
naOliAlled by an Explosion.

u II OOSAS ~"
molished by an Explosion.
London, April 2S.-A tremendous eX-
plosion occurred OH the underground
railway as u train filled with men
from the city was making it's usual
stop at the Aldersgate station. The
glass roof OF the station vas blown
out and the platform strewn with
debris. Many of the gas lights in the
waiting rooms and on the platform
were eXtinguished and the station left
in semi-darllness. A general panic
ensued. After quiet had been re-
stored it was found that a first-class
coach had been completely wrecked
and that it's occupants were lying
about MANNED and bleeding. Ten Of
the injured were found to be in a pre-
carious condition and were removed
to hospitals. A number who were
standing on the platform were also
hurt. Much Of the wreckage was
hurled across the station. The cause
of the explosion is not known, but it is
believed to have been the result of an
accumulation of gas which became
ignited in some way. Many persons,
however, believe that the disaster was
not due to accident. but was caused
by the explosion Of a bomb which had
been placed in the station with the
intention Of wrecking it.

Secretary Sherman has sent to the
Senate a note received from MI. Botas-
ST, Consul General of Greece at New
York, transmitting a cablegram from
the Greek Minister of Foreign Affairs,
in acknowledgment of the resolution
agreed to by the Senate before the ex-
piration of the last session, expressing
sympathy with the Cretan revolution
lists. The cablegram is as follows:
ITO the United States Senate: The
warm thanks of the Greek nation. as
well as Of the government of Greece,
are due for tho expression of its svm-
pathies, which are a most valuable IA:
sistance to us, toward the accomplish
ment Of our national aspirations" The
Consul General adds on his own he
half that the resolution has made q
most favorable impression on the
Greeks in the United States, who,
while enjoying the blessings Of liberty
ID this country, under her liberal laws,
are in hearty sympathy With theiI
motherland in her efforts to free thsil
oppressed brethren"

United States Consul Norris. at
Client, has reported an interesting fact
to the State Department regarding the
manufacture of incandescent lamps. It
is that the most expensive product in
the world is the charcoal thread en-
ployed in the lamps to furnish the
light. This will be interesting news to
the people who use electric light night
ly without being cognizant of such a
proximity of wealth. 1t is, for the
most part, manufactured at Paris and
comes from the hands of an artist.
This product is sold at wholesale by
the gramme, and, reducing this price
to the basis of pounds. 1t is easily found
that the flaments for lamps of twenty
candle-power are worth $4,000 per
pound. and for the lamps of thirty
candle-power the fabulous sum of s12.-
600 per pound. The former have a
diameter Of twenty-thousandths of one
millimeter, or 7,874-ten-millionths. and
the latter less than one-afth of this
size.

FOR KILLING A DOG.
United States Supreme Court Re-

United States Supreme Court Re-
fuses Damages.
Washington. April %. The United
States supreme court has decided a
case involving a claim for damages
for killing Il dog which had made its
way from the lower courts of New Or.
leans through the various phases OF
litigation to be finally decided here in
opposition to the claim. The suit was
instituted by George w. Sentell. Jr..
VS.. the New Orleans 4 Carrollton
Railroad company. The dog. a New.
foundland valued at 5000. was killed
by a car owned by the railroad com
pany. The case turned upon the val.
idity of an act of the Louisiana legis-
lature recognizing dogs as personal
property only when placed OH the as
sessment rolls. In this case the dog
was not assessed. Justice Brown
delivered the opinion, sustaining the
constitutionality Of the law and refus.
ing damages.
