dian Territory.
MUSKOGEE. I. T., March GA DIS
tardly outrage was committed last night
in the town Of Wybark, FIVE miles north
Of here. resulting in the death OF two
men and a woman.
The house Of Ed Chalmers. "a negro
who recently married a white woman,
was attacked during the night, by six
white men, who haG evidently deter
mined to murder both the negro and his
wife, both Of whom had been threatened
by white men who dlslked the union.
a door to their cabin was broken In and
both the negro and his wife were shot
down, not before Chalmers had put UP
agood fight against his assailants. The
woman was killed outright, and though
Chalmers succeeded in driving Off the
attacking party, they left him mortally
wounded. and he died before daylight. !,
This morning the body Of one Mat
tfiews, an aged White man, who lived at
Gibson Station, was found, near the
Chalmers cabin, pierced with a bullet.
Matthews answers the description given
by Chalmers before he died, Of one OF
his assallants. There were evidences
that Matthews body had been dragged
from Chalmers house to the place where
It was found. A gun lay beside the body
evidently put there to give the impress
sion that the dead man had murdered
the negro and his wife.

MONTREAL THREATENED

Flood Of 1856. .Eag

Flood Of 1856. 80
MONTREAL, March 20.-To-day
Montreal stands in Imminent danger OF
repetition Of the disastrous food Of
1886, when hundreds OF thousands Of
dollars damage was done. For some
days past the water In the st. Lawrence
river has been rising steadily until to-
night It has touched the record point.
Along Commissioners street a huge
stone wall shuts out the water. On top
OF this Is O wooden dyke. and the water
is now half way. up the dyke. 1t Is n
comparatively ilimsy structure. and
should 1t go all the cellars In the lower
part OF the city would be flooded. 7l
Below the city the water has risen
above the level of the road skirtlng the
river and the houses are filled half way
to tho ceilings OF the first floor. Along
Craig street. near Victoria square. the
cellars of some OF the big wholesale dry
goods houses have been flooded. but the
damage there will be slight, as all goods
have been moved out The two pump
ing stations of tho city are working at
their full capacity In hope OF keeping
the ovcrladen sewers from backing up,
and so far with tolernble success.
Along MIL street the first floors OF
half dozen large manufacturing indus
tries are flooded and two thousand peo-
pie will be thrown out OF work until the
water subsidies. The river In front OF
the harbor is covered with floating Ice.
n the Jam In the river below the city
gives why all danger Of q flood will be
over, but mt present there Is little hope
OF this taking place and q disastrous
overflow Is generally looked for. IS

There was plenty of enthusiasm in the

were no sensational features. The pro-
cceds arc not all in yet, but 1t IS be-
llcvcd that they will amount to between
$4,000 and $4,000 In gold. Former esu-

figures as $4,000 or 100000 should be
realized, as was hoped by some.
