BLOW AGAINST DNTWE
Ordinance Presented to Ciucago City
Council Is Aimed at :.ie i.

Council Is Aimed at :.ic /.
Chicago, June 25.-John Alexander
Dowie will have to take out license
for Zion and procure properly licensed
physicians to attend to his patients if
an ordinance introduced by Alderman
Rector in the city council is passed.
The measure was sent to the judiciary
committee for consideration. Mr.
Rector hopes to get an opinion from
the committee this week, and will then
probably introduce the ordinance as
new matter next Monday night, SO
that action may be taken before the
council adjourns.
The measure provides that the les
see or proprietor of any place or build
ing used as q hospital or advertised
as a place for the cure of ailments or
the treatment of injuries or sickness
must take out license for hospital.
Failure to do this will mean that the
place will be declared public nuls-
ance and suppressed and the lessee or
proprietor fined.
If a license is taken out there must
be medical treatment by properly
registered and licensed physician. For
each violation of the ordinance a fine
of $50 will be imposed. Alderman Rec
tor said that the measure was de-
signed to secure proper medical at
tendance in such places as that Of DR..
Dowle's Zion.

Chicago, ,June 24.-Before the largest
crowd that ever went to Washington
park race track, and for the largest
amount OF money ever at stake except
in the meEHorab BILE race of 1893, Robert
WaddeIl Saturday won the fourteenth
American Derby. Waddell was a long
shot, the odds being Is and 20 to 1

Nevertheless, he clipped 2 is seconds

one-half miles in 2:33 As. The winner
got $19,57S. Terminus was second and
The PaT.ader third.

Curious State of Things.

Eldorado, Kan, June 21.-The trial
of Miss Jessie Morrison for the muir
der Of Mrs. Castle is progressing, and
presents a peculiar feature-that the
rulings of the court at this trial have
reversed almost uniformly the rulings
of the court at the first trial. At the
first trial the dying statement of Mrs.
Castle was ruled out, SO were her
bloody clothes, while those of Miss
Morrison were admitted. At this trial
Miss Morrison's clothes We're ruled out
and Mrs. Castles admitted, while her
dying statement was also admitted
So lit is all through, and the case looks
dark for Miss Morrison.

Special at Bluefiesd, w. Va, Tells TIE Wa,
1t Locks to Him

1t Locks to Him.
Cincinnati, June Pa special to
The Enquirer from Bluefield, Nv. Va,
autographed yesterday, says: after a
trip over a large part of the flooded
district today your correspondent is
liable to say that the loss of life has
not proved SO heavy as was at first
feared, though the property aoss will
be greater. THE region devastated over
which the greatest damage prevails
begins went of Bluefield distance of
twelve miles, at Cooper, where on a
branch of the railroad extending up
Simmons creek to Goodwill, a distance
of ten miles, four railroad bridges are
swept completely away. The first one
is at Bramwell, one of the best towns
of the Whole region; another at Sim
mons, third at Dupring and a fourth
between the two points last named.
These points were practically shut
Off from all communication with the
outside world. The bridge at Cooper
also suffered considerable damage. The
railroad company has about 1000
hands making repairs, and everything
possible is being done to get tthe trains
ten days before the freight grains can
be run. Tire track has been repaired
to Ennis, q distance of six miles from
Cooper, where the first damage was
done. Telegraphic communication has
only been opened to this point, and
owing to the fearful condition Of the
valley further down it is impossible to
reach the stricken district farther west
except by footpaths.
General superintendent g. &C. Cas-
sell is at Ennis, and was seen late this
afternoon and stated that the loss to
the railroad company would be about
81 100000, not considering the loss of
revenue from importation. He believes
that the passenger traffic may be re-
sumed within q few days. Every sec
ton hand and emplOye along the va
rious lines of road that can be spared
is being rushed here. The loss to the
coal operators, Mr.. Cassell thinks, will
be far in excess of that of the railroad.
company. The total loss will probably
approximate 100000.
1.-THE various operations along the
lire are owned by stock companies,
and all the losses of tipples, power
houses, tracks and miners homes and
equipments will fail on the operators.
The loss of individuals is small, as
they had but little furniture and the
comforts of life. However, it was
their all, and many instances are re-
lated where the miners lost small sums
of money, which doubtless represented
the savings of years"

patches, has been given to the AsSoci-
ated Press: "Restoration of telegraph

Reminder of the Johnstown Flood.
Huntington, w. Va, June 25.-The
tremendous high water in the Tug riv-
er caused by heavy rain along the
headWaterS of that stream on Satur
day, was thing unprecedented in the
history of that section. Though it
comes far short of rivaling the famous
JOhnStoWn flood, it serves as a vivid
reminder of that terrible deluge. The
rain torrent occurred near the head
waters of the Elkhorn and Dry Fork
rivers, whose confluence near WEIGH
form the main Tug river. Both Of
these streams were swollen far be-
yond any proportions which they were
ever before known to assume.
Box Cars Swept Away.
Along the coal regions of the. Elk
horn and the numerous big lumber
plants lower down box cars were
swept away in the rushing flood and
are lodged against the rugged noun
tain sides, and in a few instances were
carried down the Tug river even as far
as below the falls Of it before being
checked Many of the cars were
loaded, ready to be moved, and with
their cargo they are practically a total
loss. All the lumber plantS-and there
are many of them-are great losers.
River Rises Ten Feet an Hour.
At Jaeger station the river rose TO
the height of thirty4one feet inside
Of three hours from the time it began,
deluging every house in the little town,
and washing away many of the out
buildings. In some instances dwell
ings were swept from their foumda-
items, but lodged against larger and
more substantial ones and were thus
saved from destruction.
