Met Death in the Flood.

NEwBURGH, n. Y, July 14.-Mel-
zingah reservoir, near Matteawan, burst
at Z o'clock this morning owing to the
heavy rains. Without warning the
flood swept through the ravine and
made terrible havoc. Buildings were
torn in pieces and their occupants
carried away in the raging waters.
Seven bodies have been recovered and
it is reported that twenty persons are
still missing. Tons of earth and sand
were washed down in the flood, and
men are digging into this mass to re-
cover other bodies. Twelve hundred
feet of n. Y. Central roadbed, in depth
from three to ten feet, was washed out
and all traffic was stopped. Trains
were stalled all the way from Fishkill
to Poughkeepsie. The reservoir is
situated in the Fishkill mountains and
is FIVE hundred feet above tidewater.
1t is about five hundred feet long, three
hundred feet wide and thirty-five feet
deep.
Nine bodies have been recovered.
The remaining bodies have not bte,
found. Workmen are now digging ior
them in the debris, which extends for
Il distance of thousand feet on the
tracks OF the Hudson river Railroad.
ItIis not definitely settled as to the
number who lost their lives.

LONDON, July 14.-Lady Selma
Scott, mother-in.law Of Earl Russell,
whom January last pleaded guilty to the

engineer, and William Aylot, valet,

LONDON, July 1.-THE Evening
Standard regards the situation in south
eastern Europe as extremely grave and
says there is no doubt that, unless ap-
pearances are most deceptive, hostilities
between Turkey and Greece will soon
be renewed. The paper says: "Per-
haps we may be at the beginning of a
general European war;" Referring to
the broad question of an attempt by
Europe to coerce Turkey, it says
$50 far as England is concerned pub
lie opinion does not favor going to war
for the sake of Greece. Perhaps the
best way out would be to make COM
promise with Turkey; for the existing
deadlock is slowly but surely running
Greece. We have before US the terrible
prospect of European war; and it is
not worth running such risk for the
mere sake of rehabilitating Greece"

kentucky Gold Democrats.

LOUISVILLE, KY. July IA con-
vention is being held to-day in Louis
vile under the name of the "Nationsl
Democratic Convention" The selee-
ton of a candidate for the State Court
of Appeals is the obstensible purpose.
Eighty five counties out of 10 have
reported. The names of such men as
Carlisle, Lindsay, Breckenridge and
Watterson bear great weight in face Of
the charge that the numerical strength
does not faithfully represent the feel
ing and voting strength OF the State
democracy.
The republicans have given up any idea OF
fusion, having in vain, demanded that the
nominee Of the democrats should have his
name placed under the emblem OF the repub-
lican party to secure that psrty's support.
Mr. A. ]. Carroll, of Louisville, who in the
State legislature preceding the last session,
presided over the House, called the meeting
to order and introduced Mr. James C. Sims, OF
Bowling Green, as temporary chairman.

THE WEBSTER. SMooT CAsE.-Judge
Norton to-day in the case of William F.
Webster vs.. William B. Smoot ct ais.
filed written opinion in which he
states that Immediately after the argu-
ment on demurrer, that he held the
demurrer to the declaration should be
sustained on the ground that the letter
sued on, which was the sole ground of
the action, did not use words which
from their usual construction and com
mon acceptation are construed as 10
suits, and lead to violence and breach
OF peace, as contemplated by Section
1897, OF the Code. He then construed
the words in said section mo demurrer
shall preclude jury from passing there
ON" as meaning demurrer to the evil
dence, but after careful consideration
of the earlier statutes, and the object of
the legislature in passing said statute,
and an examination of the decisions
upon said statute, he to-day held that
the word 'demurrer" means any kind
of demurrer, and that when an action
is brought and a declaration framed
upon the statute, that the court has no
power to sustain demurrer to the de-
clsration, but that the jury are to pass
upon the question whether the words
used from their usual construction and
common accsptation would be oonsid.
cred as insults such as to lead to vio-
sence and breach of peace. Hav-
ing so found they would assess the
damages but the court would still have
the power to set aside verdict and
grant new trial; and he accordingly
directed an order to be entered sus
tanning the demurrer to the first count
of the declaration because it joins tho
common law and statutory action in
one count. The plaintiff having right
to demur to the common law action
and not to the statutory one, the
two causes cannot be combined in one
count; and, also, to the third cour t
which is purely common law cause,
and in the opinion of court does nc t
set out actionable words at common
law. The court overrules the demurrer
20 the other counts in the declaration as
they are framed upon the statute. Mr.
Webster's case will therefore come up
in court.

A LEGAL QUEsTIoN.-The election
by the City Council last night of MI.
Frank Price to be Police Commissioner
from the Second ward has raised the
question of Mr.. Prices eligibility. 1t
appears that he is employed in the
government navy yard in Washington
and the code OF Virginia provides that
no one who holds any Office OF
profit or emolument under the .. S.
government and who receives any pay
from the government can hold state
Office. The matter will probably be re-
ferred to Corporation Attorney Boothe
for his opinion.

FREMONT FOUND GUILTY.-As stat
ed in the GAZETTE of that date, Geo.
Wvman Fremont, bright eyed negro,
who said that he was member of the
Washington bar, was convicted in New
York Yesterday by Recorder Golf, in
General sessions, of swindling Rev. DR..
+. A. Bradley, vicar of St. Agnes's
Chapel. The convictiun breaks down
q scheme that Fremont and confeder-
ate worked successfully for nearly
three wears, in which time they got
money from some of the most con-
spicuous ci liens of New York city,
Baltimore and Washington to carry on
the work of an institution that had no
existence except in circular that Ere
mout drew up. The imaginary institu-
ton was called The Fremont Poly
technic School for the Education of
ColoIed Children,n and was represent
cd bv Fremont to be at No. S22 north
Columbus street, this city. Fremont
represented himself as the president
and treasurer, and ne had curriculum
showing that everything from shoe
making and cooking to astrono-
my and pathology was taught. He
started the scheme in 1895. repre-
senting the school to be an experiment
in uplifting the children OF his race.
District Attorney Olcott had in court
3 pile of letters. Among those who
said they had given money to Ere.
mont were DR.. Morgan Dix, ex-Presi.

and Rev. Drs. Henry Van Dyke. G.

died. Hegot alleged concentrations of
the fictitious school from Gen. Fitzhugh
Lee and U. 5. Senator John w. Daniel.
He got out circular bearing the names
of ninety.one New Workers, all of
whom he had seen and from whom. it
is said, he got money. He used the
Endorsement of Gen. Lee and Senator
Daniel very effectively in Washington.
Fremont made his collecting tours in
company with another colored man,
John Cheshire, who was arrested with
him, but was discharged in the magis'
trate's court in New York.
