HOUSES SWEPT AWAY.
LeVee at Marion Miss, Breaks-NO
Lives Lost-Much Damage
is Done,

Memphis, Tenn, March 13.-The Mis-
sissippi river continues to rise at an
alarming rate and the high water has
reached a very critical stage. The
gauge today reads 35.5 with prospects of
records being broken. The ferry steam
er @. b. Bryan makes daily trips to
Marion, Ark, which ordinarily is three
miles inland The steamer during part
of her trip plows down road used by
wagons during low water. All along
the route to Marion submerged and semi
submerged houses can be seen and the
country about there seems to be taking
on that air of desolation which foods
bring.
Shortly after midnight the levee at
Marion gave way and dozens of negro
cabins were swept away. No lives were
lost, but hundreds of cattle were
drowned.

to present matters in a brighter light, for
popular clamor had deal to do with the
defiant position assumed by the Greek
government.
But there is no cessation of military ac-
tivity here or at Salonica. On both from
tiers troops have occupied strategic posi-
tons and reinforcements are being
pushed forward night and day. The
armed peasants on both sides are the
most dangerous factors on the frontiers.
A conflict there may occur at any mo-
ment and then it may be beyond human
power to stem the tide Of war which has
been sullenly rising for long time past.
The firing upon the insurgents by the
foreign warships and the later conflicts
between the foreign marines and the in
surgents have had a very bad effect
among the people here, irritating them to
a great degree against everything in the
shape of foreign Intervention in the af-
fairs of Greece. The caImer minds are
counselling prudence, but the solution is
almost as grave as it could be and
Greece is prepared to make the greatest
sacrifices If driven to desperation.

Brooklyn Syndicate is Said to Have
Offered 100000 for the
Cleveland Club.

New York, March 12-Tte Herald
this morning says there was secret con
ference of baseball magnates in this city
last night. 1t was learned that the
Brooklyn club had offered 100000 for
the transfer Of the Cleveland team to
Brooklyn. Frank De Hass Robson of
the Clevelands was in conference with c.
II. Byrne at the Hoffman house. They
refused to say whether or not they had a
conference with Mr.. Conant of the Bos-
ton club, but President Robson said
that the Brooklyn club had offered him
100000 for the transfer of the Cleve-
land club to Brooklyn.
President Byrne confirmed this state
ment, adding that the Brooklyn club, in
making the offer, thought it could make
at least 100 per cent. on the investment
1t was learned, although President
Byrne refused to admit it, that y. A
Abel and himself had succeeded in inter
esting a syndicate of Brooklyn men in
the enterprise and for that reason the
Brooklyn club felt perfectly safe in max
ing the offer for the Cleveland team.

After careful examination and the ex-

that not one of them makes any use of the

great events to teach lessons of patriotism !;
that the child without other sources of In

termfne whether there was any difference
in the patriotism of those who fought for
the preservation Of the national unity
and those who fought for the destruction of
our government: that there is in all Of them
a general tendency to enlarge upon and
ex8ggerate the few soldierly qualities of the
Confederates and to belittle the valUr and
achievements of those who fought upon the
other side: that some of those most extern

portant Capture.
On Monday, the 10Th, Harold Marqui-
see, OF Utica, n. Y, was arrested in SYRIA
cuse. n. Y, on a warrant sworn out by
the DR.. Williams Medicine CO., charging
him with forgery. On the 18th of De-
cember Marquisee visited photo-engrav
ef IN Syracuse, saying he was the repre-
sentative Of the DR.. Williams Medicine
Co, and arranged for the making of
full set of plates for the direction sheets,
labels, etc, Of the famous DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. News of
this reached the home office, and no time
was lost in arranging for his arrest when
he should return for the plates. He re-
turned on the 10Th and was accordingly
arrested and is now in Jail in Syracuse
awaiting examination, which occurs on
March =.
This arrest proves to be an important
one. In addition to various plumber, such
rs medical books, typewriters, rugs, etc,
found IN Marquisee's trunk when arrest
ed, the police also found counterfeit coin
both in the trunk and on his person; and
in search of his apartments at Utica
found a complete outfit for counterfeit
ing, consisting of crucibles, bellows, nick
81, lead, bismuth, antimony, a small Black
smith forge, q charcoal furnace, and
several plaster-of-paris moulds. The
United States marshals want him just as
soon as the DR.. Williams Medicine Co.
are through with him, and, nc doubt, be
will be sentenced for a long period.
In selecting DR.. Williams Pink Pills
Tor his .counterfeiting operations, he
showed his knowledge Of the proprietary
medicine business; for these pills are in
such great demand that they are easily
sold at any drug store in the United
States. His scheme was to work the
country druggists and sell his limitations
at discount of from per cent. to per
cent, explaining the reduced price by the
fDf. hot hnh II o,.oI-r
lots and at discount from dealers who
Were overstocked. By working fast and
making long jumps, he would have Sc
cured many hundreds of dollars in q short
time. The proprietors of DIR. Williams
Pink Pills are most fortunate to have
caught the rogue before he had fairly
started, and to have thus kept these spu-
riOus goods out of the market.

ADRIFT ON AN ICE FLOE.
Two Hundred Fishermen in Peril on
Saginaw Bay-Floe Quite
Solid.


Bay City, Mich, March 12.-An i'm
mense ice foe containing all the solid ice
in Saginaw bay went out this morning,
carrying over 200 fishermen. The ice
began to break near the shore here at 3
o'clock and the foe is now eight miles
out in the bay.
About thirty-fve fishermen from this
city had huts near Neamquam point and
they were all carried out. OF the 30
fishermen near Sebewaing some man
aged to gain shore before the ice left. but
the large majority were carried out. A
strong southwest wind is blowing.
Fishermen here are uneasy, but dc net
apprehend that the men on the foe will

to Lake Huron by the Charity islands
If the warm south wind continues for
another day there VIII be but little
chance for their rescue.

Very Superstitious.

An occupation which does not figure in
labor statistics, nor in the social econ
omy, at least of America, is discovered
in the following advertisement, which
appeared in the Blackpool Times, an
English newspaper, in the last days Of
1896: Young man, of dark complexion.
is prepared to Let in the New Year at
any house in Blackpool between u and
8 a. M, at = shillings each without re-
freshmen" The explanation of this
cryptic notice lies, it seems, in local
superstition that the first visitor to q
house in the new year, if he happens to
be of a dark complexion, brings it good
luck.
