BADLY FLOODED IN TEXAS
The Rev. J. [. Green Tells of Con- ditions in the Lone Star State
 A Bad Wreck

The Rev. J. l.. Green, pastor of the Presbyterian church, has returned from atten ling a meet ing of the Presbytery at Gurdou and a visit of few days with a brother at Temple, Tex
 MT. Green says that almost the whole of central and eastern Tex as is flooded and that the rivers and streams are said to be higher than since 1865. The crops are in a terrible condition. A farm near Temple had 400 acres of oats almost ready to cut, but it is all now buried in mud, and it is said the whole crop is not worth Is cents.
 The railroads are also suffering greatly with washouts and wrecks resulting from tracks made bad by the soaking rains. While coming north over the Frisco San- day, the train on which Mir. Green travelled came up to the scene of bad wreck near Ant- lers, Ok. A fast passenger train, all save the engine and mail car, had left the track on a sharp curve, and ihe cars had all landed on their tops. Many were in- iured. but none killed. Some of the injured were taken into Fort Smith by the northbound train.
 MT. Green says it is a great comfort to live where floods are never to be feared.

Allentown. Pa. Apr s9.--A report of horrible murder by . religious fana- tic in shs borough of Alliance. near here. reached thls city Tuesday Councilman Henry Smiths little daughter was killed by the formers brother-iA-law. Robert Bachman oi Nazareth. Pa. while on visit at the Bachman home. At the time of the killing Bachman was in a frenzy dur. ing which ns drove everybody except the little gil out of tho house.
 Bachman was the head of a new praying ban1 and last week he got the Smiths interested. They went to Bachman's house last Saturday, prayed and held servioes and then decided to remain until the spirit told them to leave. Late Monday night, under Bachman's direction Smith. in fighting the devil. broke three doors, kicke1 in the footboard of bed and Jumped on the bed. smashing it.
 Meanwhile Bachman was in an ad- joining room with the Smiths only ShAor uAAy AfShct WA1 Voutu nav" been i've years old Tuesday. When Mrs. Smith entered that room she found her daughter dead on the floor and Bachman on his knees alongside h a religious frenzy. The horrlflei mother snatched up the bleeding corpse of her child and ran shrieking from the house. Later the father and mother took the body to their home. eight miles distant. The forehead and upper portions of the child's body were bruised and scratched.
 Tuesday afternoon Baohman was ar. rested. His wife told the coroner that ths child had been killed by God and that her husband was God.

Boston, Mass, Apr. 28.-Conditions
 governing traffic in intoxicating liquors
 in many portions of New England be-
 come considerably disturbed on the first of May when changes in local op-
 ton take effect and temperance work
 CTS are pointing to the general situ-
 ation as an index of spreading senti-
 ment against the saloon. In Massa- chusetts, by changes in six cities and 36 towns. 21o licensed places, or 10 per cent of the total number must
 abandon the liquor business at eleven o'clock Thursday night. In Vermont
 only 27 cities and towns will legalize the sale of liquor this year as oom- pared with 92 license cities and towns i've years ago. when local option took the place of state prohibition Tn New Hampshire an important ruling of the state license commissioner takes effect on May l. whereby druggists licenses throughout the state vii, be abolished and in Rhode Island the temperance interests have just succeeded in forc- ing restrictive liquor legislation through the house of representatives. A more radical upsetting of the liquor policy of Massachusetts has not occurred In 15 years than will be brought about on May when three of the largest manufacturing cities of the state and a number of smaller places, after long periods of license, give up the liquor traffic In accordance with the will of the people as ex- pressed at the polls during recent months. One of these cities-Worces- ter, with Its population of over 130.- 900 is shown by statistics to be the largest municipality In the country If not in the world, under no-license regime. For the first time since 18Sz the Worcester voters at the December municipal election decided by a vote of 10.5s4 to 9.622 to close it's saloons When this decision takes effect on Thursday night the licenses of 12S places. including IT hotels will be rem dered void. At the same time a cor don of towns around Worcester have gone no-license and greater portion of the district will be dry" after April 30.
 The second largest of the Massachu- setts cities to enter upon a period of no license this year is Lynn. which showed it's opposition to the saloon for the first time In 12 years. The sa- looms of the city have paid annually t93.391 in license fees.
 Haverhill, another shoe-making city, this year turns against the saloon.
 leaving the cities of Lawrence and
 Gloucester and the littte town of Mid aletown the only licensed places in
 Essex county.
 The mo" vote through the state as shown by returns from all but four towns. had . majority at the recent elections of 1S.0S5. A year ago. ac- cording to the Massachusetts Total
 Abstinance society. there was 'yes"
 majority of 6,722. making the years net gain for no license 24.S07. Two
 cities and 13 towns changed to license
 while four cities and 23 towns changed
 b no license.
 It is estimated that about 2.000 men
 were employed in the places which
 will have to close for the ensuing year.
