REAPING THE WHIRLWIND.
Remorse Makes Mad the Erring Wifi
Of Millionaire John Bradbury.

Los Angeles, Cal, Aug. S.-Mrs. John
Bradbury, wife of the well known
young millionaire or this city, is a
maniac, a victim of dependency and
remorse. and is confined in her home
somewhere in Mexico.
Two years ago the Bradburys were
leaders OF an exclusive social set in
Los Angeles and southern California.
Mrs. Bradbury is a daughter of Gen.
eral Banning, a retired military man.
About two years ago Mrs. Bradbury
became infatuated with a dashing Eng
lishman, W. Russell Ward, and dur.
ing the absence Of the latter's wife on
q visit to England, they fled the city,
hut were overtaken and arrested in
San Francisco.
The woman repented in a prison cell,
and the case against Ward was finally
dismissed. Mrs. Bradbury met her
husband in Chicago, where a reconcile
alton took place. The couple then went
10 New York, and thence to one OF
B~radbury's villas in the interior OF
Mexico.
Ward either fell off or jumped from
a train while travelling to New York
and was killed. Letters received in this
city by friends OF Mrs. Bradbury say
that she sits hour after hour staring
into vacancy, her mind a complete
wreck.

BISMARCK BURNED.
The City Suffers From a Terrible and
Devastating Fire.

Bismarck, N. D., Aug. S.-Fire de-
stroyed the best portion of the city OF
Bismarck this evening. licking up hun
dreds of thousands OF dollars worth of
property. The flames originated in the
agents office of the Northern Pacific

spread north into a residence block
and completely destroyed it. The fire.

FRANK JAMES IN KENTUCKY.


Frank james has been in Illrrods-

now an occasional Visitor to the Cninns'
breeding farm, and as he has a Ken
lucky taste for whisky and horsetiesh
he is quite popular with the farmers
who have met him.
James said that the killing of his
three friends was due to an unfortunate
incident at the beginning of their raid
into this county. At the time Quantrell
had forty-iive men in his command. all
of whom wore federal uniforms. They
were very cautious in their movements.

and he went into a stable lot to cx-

who owned the place came out and de
manded to know what the guerrilla
wanted to do with the animal.
Nothing but ride IT," was the prompt
response.
"lll bet you $40 Won don't" said the
farmer, who was a man Of pluck. He
drew a revolver. but the Missouri guer-
rilla was too quick and shot him dead.
While QuantrelI was always ready to
kill he knew his wanton murder would
lead to pursuit, and 50 he rather re-
GREETED it. It was his rule when ex-

a mile in front Of the main body and
two others in the rear. James was. de-

Experts who are looking for the
causes OF physical degeneracy, if in
deed it exists. should take notice that
the percentage of rejected volunteers
among young men born and brought up
on farms is quite as great as among
those born in cities. The Indianapolis
Journal thinks there may be something
in the suggestion that farmers boys
are put to hard work too young.

LOSSES BY THE FLOOD
DAMAGES TO OHIO AND INDIANA
ROADS ESTIMATED AT $45O,OOO.
Bright Prospects for Railway Com
sonaI and General Notes.

Enough time has elapsed to give chief en-
gneers and maintenance of way depart
ments of Ohio and Indiana roads opportuni-
ty to estimate the damages from the recent
high waters. Careful estimates place the
damages, not including loss of business, at
$3.50 O00 about 900 in Ohio and 100000 in
Indiana In Indiana the roads in the north
ern part of the State suffered but little;
in northern Ohio the loss was somewhat
greater, but the heavy losses occurred in
central Indiana and Ohio. The Panhandle
places it's loss between Columbus and Pitts
burg at $50 900; between Columbus and In
dianapolis $4,000 will fully cover the dam
age. The Big Four losses on the division
between Cincinnati and Columbus will reach
about $4,000, on the division between Gin
cinnau and Indianapolis about $1,000, the
stoppage of traffic for three days being the
most serious loss. The Whitewater division
was badly cut up, but 5000 will cover the
losses. The Bee-line division, the Chicago
division (west end) and the St. Louis divi-
sion suffered but little, and $1,000 will cover
all losses. The Cairo division was badly
cut up. The Indianapolis & Vincennes had
several bad washouts, but the real loss will
not exceed $4,000. The Louisville division of
the Pennsylvania lines suffered more than
any ulVlSlOn III the SOUTHWESTERN SYSTEM
The washouts were deep and expensive to
fill, and it will be some weeks before the
road is in as good condition as before the
flood The losses on this division were fully
SIS, 900. The Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern
had several washouts, but none as bad as
the road experienced last year, and the
losses will not exceed 5000. The Evansville
& Terre Haute, between Vincennes and Ev-
ansville, had several bad washouts, which
are yet but partially repaired; $4,000 is a
low estimate, it is stated, Of the loss. The
Eastern division of the Peoria g. Eastern
was heavy sufferer; several bridges were
lost and some high entertainments, and the
losses on that division are estimated at 49,
O00. The Western division of the Peoria &
Eastern remained intact, as did the Indi-
ana, Decatur q Western, the Monon. the
Big Four. The Chicago q Eastern Illinois
experienced but little trouble The Wabash
suffered seriously on its line west of La
fayette, there being several WaShOutS, but
1t is thought that $4,000 will cover all the
loss on the Wabash main line. One of the
singular phases of the late flood was that
the Toledo, st. Louis & Kansas City, which
practically parallels the Wabash, was not
damaged by the high waters. The Lake

southern parts Of Indiana the roads suf-

ers in times of floods, but this time they

The Jason, formerly the Sangamon, was
built by Ericsson at Chester, on the Della
ware, while the Nahant was built at Bos-
ton. Each is of 1876 tons displacement and
carries one turret. According to the present
plans of the Navy Department the rest of
the old monitors are to be distributed in
this way: The Lehigh, built at Chester by
Ericsson, and the Catskill, built at Brook
lyn, also by Ericsson, are to go to Boston.
The Mahopac and the Manhattan, built at
Jersey City, the Canonicus, built at Boston,
ana the Montauk, built at Brooklyn, are TO
stay at Philadelphia. All OF these monitors
were constructed in 1862 after the success
of the original Monitor over the Merrimac.
The Nahant was disabled in the attack on
Charleston in April, 1863, was repaired, and,
with the Weehawken, whipped the Confed-
crate ironclad Atlanta off Savannah in
July, 1863. So sure We're the Confederates

The freight officials of the Western roads
have for the time being abandoned their
idea of putting up the rates of packing
house products between Kansas City and
Chicago. There was so much opposition to
it. on the part of some of the roads that
the scheme was finally given up although
it is likely that another effort will be made
in the near future. The Atchison said that
it was firm in the stand it had taken of
reducing the rates to meet the secret cuts
made by some of it's competitors, and it
assurance of the roads that had been cut
ting the rates that they would sin no more.
The stand taken by the Atchson was
warmly approved by many of the lines and
the consequence was that the rates will
remain at low tariff for some time to come.

Western roads have been extremely con-

them have been paid, it is not Thought that
there will be much trouble in getting them
withdrawn.
