household goods from the bottoms At 8
o'clock the leyees on Maurice street gave
way before the waters of the Des Moines
river, swelled by those of the Raccoon,
and $50 houses were flooded in an in
credibly short time, forcing the inmates
to run for their lives. The Raccoon is
keeping pace with the Des Moines, and
has devastated many square miles of
territory in the southwestern part of the
State.
The center span of the $780, 900 Melan
arch bridge in process of construction on
Sixth street was carried away. The
wreckage was swept against the street
railway bridge, and that structure had
a narrow escape. The loss to the bridge
Is estimated at $4,000.

A QUAKE KILLS 1900.
TOWN OF MELAZGHERD, TURKEY,
DESTROYED BY SHOCK.
Awful Calamity on the Euphrates-
Villagers and Garrison Are Swal-
lowed Up-Seismic Disturbance Felt
in Constantinople.

Advices received from Asiatic Turkey
show that a terrible earthquake occurred
April 20 at Melazgherd in the Vilayet of
Van, eighty miles southeast of Ere
room, on the Euphrates. The town was
destroyed with its entire population,
numbering 1000, including 100 Armeni-
ans, as we'll as the troops forming the
garrison of Melazgherd. In addition over
SUI houses in neighboring villages col
lapsed.
Melazghsrd is situated on the south
side of the Euphrates river. near its
source. The surrounding country is a
ta0leiand traversed by mountain ranges
running west from the Caucasus noun
tains. The 2,O00 inhabitants of the place
were divided about equally between Mos
lens and Christians. The Turkish gov
eminent maintained a small garrison in
the place
The town had several churches,
mosques and bazaars. The inhabitants
OF the country near the town raise large
quantities Of barley, fax and fruits and
have large herds of cattle. Little villages
are scattered all through the Vilayet of
Van, of which Melazgherd, next to tho
city OF Van, was the largest.
Not many miles east of Melazgherd a
mountain peak rises to height of H.
DAT feet, and not far away rises Mount
Ararat. The Vilayet of Van has a pop
ulation of 100000 1t contains a great
salt lake bearing the name of the villa
yet. MclaZgherd is due north of the
lake about fifty miles.
Details Reach London.
The London foreign office received
some details from the British consul at
Erzeroom regarding the recent earth
quake at Melazgherd. a shock lasting
thirty seconds was felt the morning of
April 20 throughout the district between
Lake Van and the Russian frontier and
as far west as Kharput. The town of
Melazgherd, consisting of 500 houses,
was destroyed, and great havoc was
wrought in the surrounding villages.
Col. Khalil Bey, commanding the gar
rison of Melazgherd, with his whole fam
lily, three other officers and eight soldiers,
persisted in the ruins. Lieut. Col. Tayib
Bey, whose family persisted, became in
sane.
The telegraph operator who sent the
news of the catastrophe said that he
himself was badly injured and that his
wife and sister had been killed.

TERROR AT JACKSON.
! Troops Fire at Providers Who Snip.
posed1y Attempt Attack on Jail.


posed1y Attempt Attack on Jail.
At Jackson, KY, Tuesday night a mot
made an attempt, it is believed, to at
tack the Jail in which Curtis Jett and
Tom White, indicted for murder, arr
held, and was repulsed only after a des
perate conflict. Another report had il
that the troops fired on a company Of
men who were approaching the Jail anG
that the citizens turned out and indiscrim
mate firing continued all night.
This, with the statement that non
combatants were panic-stricken all
through a night of horror and that the
militia to some extent was demoralized,
IS the information which the telegraph
brought from Jackson. The newspaper
correspondents were prevented from send
ing details by fear of assassination,
which has been threatened openly in case
they sent out anything to which friends
of either side in this deadly Kentucky
feud objected
Opinions differ as to whether the at
tack on the Jail was for the purpose Of
releasing Jet and White and giving them
a chance to escape or was planned for
the purpose Of lynching the prisoners.
There was firing at intervals all night
by the soldiers and irresponsible mem
bers of the community, but daylight
brought the comforting assurance that
nobody had been hurt. The night was
intensely hot and the sky heavily over
cast. Jackson boasts no street lights and
soldiers and citizens passed one another
in inky darkness. The calm that has
hung ominously over the locality for sew
eral days had intensified the anxiety.
Early in the evening about sixty armed
men were noticed in Jackson. At mid
night the providers began to sneak across
the street from the bank south of the
Jail. The guards commanded them to
halt They refused and in reply fred
several shots. The guards returned the
fire. The providers then ran about hun
dred yards farther and fired again, and
the guards poured three volleys at them
Moving objects were discovered on the
north side of the Jail and the guards
fired again and killed COW. A few mo-
ments before the firing a flash of light
ming revealed a squad of men in the hills
in the rear of the Jail 1t was suspected
that a concerted attack was to be made
on the Jail and the troops prepared to
fight but a terrific storm was raging
and it was absolutely dark, so that no
further demonstration was made.
Since James B. Marcum was shot and
killed on the court house steps at Jack
son as a result of the Hargis-C ockrill
feud, anarchy has reigned in the county
of Breathitt The arrival of the troops
quoted things to some extent, but the
undercurrent of fear has been flowing
ceaselessly.
Tuesday several of the newspaper cor
respondents put on uniforms of the mi
litia, thinking that the garb might save
them from being picked off at a distance
by revengeful feudists who have declar-
ed that no news shall be sent out of the
place
