GERMANY'S NOTE
STIRS THE FRENCH
Call for Moroccan Conference Is
Regarded as Dangerously
Near Menace.

Paris, June 9-Germany's note to
the powers proposing an international
Moroccan conference is regarded as re-
newing the gravity Of the situation al
most to the point of menace.
Germany acted openly in appealing
to the powers, notwithstanding the Of
fetal statement from Berlin that Mo-
rocco invites the conference. The Of
fcials here interpret the note as show
ing that Germany is the real upholder
Of the conference.
The text shows that Germany relies
mainly on article II Of the treaty Of
Madrid, which recites that Morocco
recognizes the most favored nation
treatment in the case of all the powers
represented at the conference. The
German note holds that this gives the
powers equal rights to consider the af-
fairs Of Morocco.
The French Position.
The French answer is as follows:
Article II refers to the preceding
articles which deal solely with the pro
lection of the lives and property of
foreigners residing in Morocco. There.
fore, article II gives the powers equal
treatment concerning the protection OF
| lives and property, but does not war
rant the German position that the pow
ers agreed to exercise equal politica
control Of Morocco.
The nature of frances answer is
still in doubt, owing to Premier Rou
vier's desire to avoid widening the
breach between Germany and France

CLoUDBURST IN NEW YORK
Two villages Threatened with De-
structiOn and Several Houses
Are washed Away,

UTICA, N. Y, Sept. 4-The village of
New Berlin and Edmeston were nearly de-
stroyed by a cloudburst which occurred
last evening. 1t had been raining all day
and the streams were very high. About
1880 O'Clock there was a terrific fall of rain
and in less than thirty minutes the
streams became torrents which swept
buildings from their foundations, uprooted
trees. washed out telegraph and telephone
poles, destroyed the railroad running
through those villages and washed out
great sections of the roads and dozens OF
bridges. The extent of the damage cannot
be detailed. as communication was cut OF
early today and little information can be
obtained from the flooded district.
In New Berlin one new house occupied
by Mrs J. NJ Deming was washed down
through the main street and carried away.
The woman has not been rescued and 1t
is supposed that she has been drowned.
Three barns containing horses and other
stock, a blacksmith shop carriage shops
and two small houses also were washed
down the main street. People who had
gone to the Presbyterian church to attend
services, were imprisoned in church dur
ing the night with the pastor. and was not
rescued until daylight today when they
were taken out on a raft. Cellars in all
the business places are filled with water,
and the damage to the business part of the
village is very large. 1t is stated that
there is no prospect OF the railroads being
open in several days and the highways are
/ so badly damaged as to be impossible.
A large part Of the village OF Edmeston
was torn up by the floods and the damage
will amount to thousands of dollars
! Several towns besides the two named
have suffered severely but news cannot be
| secured from them.

PATHETIC RELIC OF THE WAR
Man and wife, Both Blind, who Lest
Their EyesiSht I'm the Great
Civil Conflict.

The unusual sight OF the blind leading
the blind was witnessed by large crowd
at the Union depot yesterday afternoon,
when John Wilson and his wife, both
totally blind. passed through Omaha from
Massachusetts town en- route to the
Grand Army encampment at Denver In
the presence Of the sightless old couple
there hangs tale Of unusual devotion Of
husband and wife, together with a ro-
nance which began before the civil war.
The two old people arrived over the
Northwestern early yesterday afternoon
and transferred here to the Rock Island
train which carried them to their desti-
nation.
The old man told the story to a crowd
of interested listeners at the depot yes
terday, Of how they both became blind
while his wife sat by and corroborated
every detail OF the interesting tale and
| occasionally prompting him as to dates,
etc.
At the outbreak OF the civil war John
Wilson was living on his fathers farm
near Salem. Mass, and when the call for
volunteers came he responded and en-
! listed in the Fifty-sixth Massachusetts reg
iment. He was engaged TO be married
to Miss Minnie Rhimers. and when his
| intended bride heard of his enlistment in
| the army, she at once made UP her mind
| to go along with the soldiers and do her
share for what she considered the great
cause, and consequently she went with an
| other regiment as a nurse.
The two did not see each other from the
| time the call for volunteers came until
| the close Of the war, when It was learned
that both the young people had met with
similar accidents and both had lost their
sight in the discharge of their duty to their
| country.
! Young Wilson's eyes were burned by the
explosion of a pan OF powder in an old
rife which he was cleaning. He was taken
! to the hospital tent where he was given
| all the medical attention possible but all
efforts to save his eyesight were futile.
Miss Rhimers. the nurse. met with q
similar accident, she having been burned
by the explosion Of a can of powder
which was in the hospital tent, while she
was administering relief 20 the wounded
| When the young private who had lost
his eyesight learned OF his intended wife's
| afliction, and when the young woman
learned Of what had befallen her soldier
lover neither wavered from their first in
tention, and the pair was married in
Salem.
Since then more misfortune has over
taken the couple who are now bent with
the weight of years, and both have had tc
do whatever work they could to make a
living. The couple have gone TO Denver
with a handorgan where they expect tc
make little stake TO tide them over the
winterAneither he nor she are complain
ing in the least over their misfortune
and they say that they will stay by each
other as long as they live. Some kind
