HEAVIEST IN YEARS.
Miami River Rises Fifteen Feet in
Four Hours-Notes.

The heaviest rain storm in years pre-
vailed throughout Ohio Friday night and
floods are causing damage along all the
tributaries Of the Ohio river I'm that state.
At Hamilton. the Big Miami rose fifteen
feet in four hours. rendering over 200 fami-
lies homeless. The reservoir north of Ham
ilton broke. flooding paper mills and tieing
up railway and traction lines. There were
no trains In or out of Hamilton Saturday
and the traction lines are seriously dam
aged.
All towns west of Cincinnati along the
Big Miami are flooded. The same is true
of all towns east Of Cincinnati along the
Little Miami river from Loveland to Coney
Island, while the railways and traction
lines suffered numerous washouts.
At Ffnlay, Ohio. the Blanchard river has
flooded the city so that street cars were
stopped and business houses suffered. The
same conditions prevail along the Maumee
river.
As Washington, Ind, there was a rain
fall of seven and one-half inches within
twenty-four hours and every part of the
country along the White river was flooded.

-, Iorn,nos Rryan. accompanied by Mrs.
-, hoe arrived to begin fight before a
,,,rv for the Bennett legacy of $Joooo Inc
tr;al 10 set down for tomorrow In the SUI
oreme court, this city, before Judge Edwin
q eager. of Ansonia. Mr.. Bryan. twice
candidate for the presidency. and MRS.
BRYAN will fight for the legacy OF the late
Philo s. Bennett of this city and FOR legal
vindication of the charge that MI Bryan
exercised over Mr.. Bennett who was a
warm admirer of him and his political prin-
ciples. an undue influence. 1t Will be con-
tended by Mrs. Bennett that her husband
last will and testament. conceived IN MI.
Bryan's own home and typewriter by Mrs.
BRYAN herself. is void and of no account
Though she will be in this city. at her
home Mrs. Grace Imogene Bennett, the
widow who is fighting to prevent her
husbands money from going TO the Bryan
family will probably not appear in court.
The case to be tried is one of number
bearing on the whole matter. 1t is the ap-
peal of Mr. Bryan from the decision OF lne
probate court in refusing to allow the pro-
bate of a sealed letter addressed TO the
widow and designating that the $Sa,oeo
should be paid Mr.. Bryan and his family.
In the VIII Mr.. Bennett bequeathed me
$40 600 to his wife. directing that she dis
nose of it in accordance with the terms
Of the letter which was lief, among the ef-
fects of Mr. Bennett and which was to be
seen by no one but Mr.. Bryan and herself
The lower court refused to admit the let
Tor tn probate. Neither would this court
decide whether or not this letter could be
Construed to be a part of the will 1t is
this decision from which Mr.. Bryan has
appealed other cases raise the question of
the validity of every bequest to Mr. Bryan
in the will. Thirty thousand dollars was
left to him and his wife to distribute for
educational purposes. and $l.JV to Mr..
salem Ill. The present case has nothing
to do with these trusts, but simply deals
with the $50 900 bequest.
So that the sole questions for the jury
tn decide are, whether the sealed letter
can be made a part of the will of MI. Bn-
nett. and whether or not there was undue
influence exercised over Mr.. Bennett.

TALKS ON PERIL TO THE SOUTH.
Booker T. Washington Lectures Before
a New York Audience SATURDAY..

new 1ork audience Saturday.
A dispatch from New York says: On
Fruits of Industrial Training Booker T.
Washington lectured Saturday under the
auspices Of the League for Political Educa-
ton at the Peoples Institute. He said in
part:
Il think that am safe in saying that the
work of Gen. g. c. Armstrong, at Hampton,
Va, was the first to receive any kind of
recognition and hearty sympathy from the
southern whites. and General Armstrong
was perhaps the first northern educator of
negroes who won the confidence and CO.
operation of the white south.
The effects of General Armstrong; in
PRODUCTION of manual training at Hampton.
and its extension to Tuskegee. in the far
south. are now actively and BEAUTIFULLY APP
parent in the splendid work being accom-
pffshed for the whole south by the south
ern education board, with Robert c. Ogden
at Its head, and by the general education
board, with William H. Baldwin. jr.. as its
president.
without the introduction of manual
training it is doubtful whether such work
as is now being wrought through these two
boards for both races In the south could
have been possible for a quarter of a CEN
fury to come.
Later on, as the years go by. it will be
recognized and appreciated that the far
sighted and statesmanlike efforts OF these
south. under the guidance of the two gen
tlemen named, and with the cooperation
and assistance of men like George Foster
Peabody. DR.. Wallace Buttrick and John D.
Rockefeller of the north and Edgar Gard
ner Murphy, Chancellor Hill. DR.. Alderman.
Dr. McIver DR.. Gabney and others of the
south, will have furnished material for one
of the brightest chapters in the history of
our country.
Besides many other reasons why the
south favored Industrial education coupled
with intellectual and moral training, many
of the southern whites saw that the negroes
who were master carpenters and contrac-
tors under their mastery could become sun
greater factors in the development OF the
south IL their children were not too SUDDEN
Iy removed from the atmosphere and occu-
patton of their fathers and if they could be
taught to use the thing in hand as toun-
dalton for higher growth.
"a large element at the south favored
manual training for the negro because they
were wise enough to see that the south was
largely free from the restrictions of the
trades union and that such organizations
would secure little hold upon the south as
long as the negro kept abreast IN intelh-
gence and skill with the same class OF peo~
pie elsewhere. 20. .h.t
within one wear 100000 foreigners came
into the United States. Notwithstanding
this number, in 1892 only 2,21S, all toio-
went into the southern states. one snip
sometimes brings as many on one Trip u
New York. rr,y
these foreigners unanimously avoided the
so,1th Whatever the true reason Is, the
fact remains that foreigners aNoio tns
south and the south is realizing more anu
more that it cannot keep t pa os the me' coun
nv If one-third of its population Is ignorant
"a uithout skill.
