Five Others Are Thought to Be Fatal
iy Injured and IS Hurt in Collision.
Philadelphia. May 26.-Three per-

BIG SENSATION IN MEXICO.
Millionaire Charged With Misappro.
ton of 100000.

Mexico City, May "a. - Financial
and business circles of Mexico City
have been shaken by the greatest
sensations in years through the order
OF the judge of the Second instruc-
ton to bring Martin Jacoby, million
aire and head of the mercantile house
of Jacoby, into court on the charge
of misrepresentation of funds which it
is claimed will total between $3,OO0,-
900 and $5,OO0,OOO. The order was is
sued on the representation made to
the court by prominent bankers and
fnanciers.
The house of Jacoby constitutes the
largest cotton buying concern in the
republic. To all practical intents, it
held a corner on the market. 1t is
declared that out Of series of spec
ulations and perhaps partly resulting
from the October panic, the house
during recent months has suffered a
loss Of millions of dollars.

PLAT WINS; MISS WOOD IN JAIL
Court Calls II Most Wicked Design to
Support False Claim by Per.
jury and Forgery.

New York, May 23.-MaeaC. Wood,
whose suit for an absolute divorce
from United States Senator Thomas
G. Plat of New York has been on
trial in the supreme court here for
several days, was committed to the
Tombs prison late yesterday after Jus.
tice O'Gorman had dismissed the com
plant in her action and ordered her
held in $4,000 bail on charge of per.
jury.
The decision in Senator Platt's IA
vor and the sudden and sensational
end of the suit came after day which
the defense occupied largely with the
introduction of expert and other testi-
mony attacking the authenticity of the
documents by which the plaintiff was
seeking to establish her alleged mar
riage to Senator Platt.
Telling Evidence for Defense.
A handwriting expert testified that
in his opinion the body of the letter in
which Senator Plat was alleged to
have admitted his relation as husband
to the plaintiff was added after the
senator's signature had been affixed.
More telling still for the defense were
the depositiions by engravers and sta
TONERS called by counsel for Senator
Platt that the blank form upon which
the alleged Platt-Wood marriage Ger.
tificate was prepared was not litho-
graphed until three months after the
date upon which the marriage of Miss
Wood to Senator Plat was alleged TO
have taken place.
Plaintiff Reiterates Claims.
Miss Wood was recalled to the stand
in rebuttal. She was asked if, after
hearing the testimony about the mar
riage certificate, she still reiterated
that the defendant gave her the certifi-
cate, as she previously testified.
II still reiterate it," she replied.
Justice O'Gorman turned to Miss
Wood and pointedly questioned her.
She repeated her assertion that the
marriage occurred as she had stated.
Senator Platt's counsel then moved
for dismisasl of the complaint. 1t
was forthwith granted by Justice
O'Gormsn, who in rendering his deci.
sion said:
Forgery and Perjury.
II cannot credit the PLAINTIFFS evi.
dence as to the alleged marriage, and
the testimony as it impresses the
court is that this is most wicked de-
sign to support false and fictitious
claim by forgery and perjury"
Forthwith Justice O'Gorman ordered
on the charge of perjury, fixing bail
in her case at $4,000.

Seven Dead, "A Dozen Reported
Dead and 5000 Homeless !.
Property Loss Heavy.
CROPS PRACTICALLY RUINED
Cutting Off Of National Gas suspends
Business at Muskogee-Towns
| Under Water.

Fort Worth, Tex, May 26. - Seven
people are known to be dead. 5000
are homeless and dozen or more are
reported to have been killed in Fort
Worth and North Fort Worth as a re-
suit of the greatest rise in the history
of the Trinity river, which, beginning
at 1880 Saturday evening, reached a
climax at 5 o'clock yesterday after
noon. Five of the deaths occurred
yesterday and two Saturday night.
Following the torrential rains of
Saturday and yesterday, volume of
seven inches, the river went three
inches above the record-breaking
flood of 1889.
Stock valued at many thousands of
dollars, including $500 sheep penned
up in the stock yards in North Fort
Worth, was washed down stream and
destroyed. The property loss cannot
be estimated as yet. The paralysis of
railroad service is almost total.
Oklahoma Roads Tied Up.
Muskogee, Okla, May &c. - Not a
railroad in Oklahoma was in opera
ton last night. as the result of the
heavy rains and cloudbursts that have
occurred in various parts of the state
during the past three days. The last
road to suspend operations was the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas, which was
forced to quit at noon yesterday, when
the bridge on the main line at Eufau-
la went down. To add to the disaster
the main supplying natural gas to the
Indian Territory part of the state was
carried away with the GAINESVILLE
bridge late yesterday, and the supply
, of gas for Muskogee and several other
! cities in the southeastern part of the
state has been entirely cut off.
Business Suspended.
Officials of the gas company say it
will be a week before repairs can be
made so that the gas supply can
again be carried. AS natural gas is
used for light and heat, business will
be suspended in measure. Eleva-
tors have been forced to stop running
and hotels and restaurants have prac-
tically been put out of business.
During the past ten hours there has
been a rainfall of twenty inches in
this section of the state.
The Canadian river rose ten feet
during the past twelve hours, and the
Arkansas river eight feet. The en-.
tire country is under water.
Crops Are Ruined.
Late yesterday afternoon a message
was received from jerks, Okla, say.
ing that the town was under water
and that help was needed. The rail
road is powerless to send aid, as much
track and bridge went out early 1t
is feared that a number of persons
have persisted.
1t is impossible to estimate the
damage done in the outlying country,
as telephone and telegraph service is
crippled. 1t is known, however, that
in the lowlands crops are practically
ruined, and much live stock has been
drowned.

Trouble Between Two Families Re-
suits in Four-Handed FIGHT.
Brook Haven, Miss, May 26.-Wil-
liam Hilton and his son, Thomas Hill
ton. and Benson Nation, all farmers
residing near this city, are dead, and
Thomas Nation, father of one of the
men killed, is probably fatally wound
ed, the result Of a four-handed fight
in the roadway near the Nation home
late yesterday.
- The trouble between the families
originated when the elder Nation was
badly beaten during an alteration
with negro farm hand, an employee
of the Hiltons.
When Hilton and his son were re-
turning from town yesterday and
were passing the Nation home, the
elder Nation, it is alleged, renewed
the trouble. Aiming himself with a
shotgun, the younger Nation ran to
his fathers assistance. A fusillade of
shotgun and pistol shots followed,
with the result as stated.

GOVERNMENT SUES ROAD.
Would Prevent Consolidation With B.
e. M. and Take Away Trolley,


Boston, May "a. - A bill in equity
to restrain the New York, New Ha-
ven & Hartford Railroad company
from exercising any control over the
Boston G. Maine railroad and to sepa-
rate the New Haven road from the
various trolley lines it has acquired,
was filed in the United States circuit
court here yesterday by United
States District Attorney Asa P.
French, acting for the federal gov
ernment
The bill in equity was brought I'M
der the Sherman act Of 1890, and
charges that the New Haven road &C.
quired numerous trolley lines and is
attempting to control the Boston &
Maine railroad in restraint of trade.
Would Become Monopoly.
The petition claims that if the New
Haven road is not restrained from
holding the trolley lines and voting
stock of the Boston & Maine road
a situation will be created with re-
spect to the transportation instru-
mentalities and facilities of New'Eng-
land which will eventually enable the
New Haven company to control for all
time the interstate transportation not
only among the New England states,
but between such states and the sew
eral other states of the Union.
The defendants in the bill are the
New Haven company, the Boston &
Maine Railroad company, the Consol-
idated Railway company and the
Providence Securities company.

AI|RShP! BURSTS; SIxIttD HURT
Ten Thoasaad Spectators Stricken Dnmb
With Horror Asroaauts Escape
Death.

Oakland. May 26.-The great. Nor.
rell airship, the largest ever con.
structed, burst on its trial trip when
300 feet in the air above a crowd Of
10000 spectators at Berkeley yester.
day. s','.
The sixteen men who made tho as
cent with the big craft were dashed
to the ground and every one of them
more or less injured. Broken legs and
arms and internal injuries were suf-
fered by most of them, and it is be-
lieved that two will die.
The accident was a most spectacu-
lar one. A great crowd had gathered
about a vacant lot where the big gas
bag had been inflated with 100000 Gu
bic feet of Illuminating gas to watch
the trial of the airship.
Ship Has Sixteen Passengers.
Sixteen persons made the ascent
five of them engineers in charge of
the five gasoline engines, several
newspaper photographers, the invent
or of the airship, G. A. MorreE, and
an Australian aeronaut, who against
the orders of Morrell climbed onto
the rigging just as the ship lifted
from the ground.
All of these persons were injured
and their escape from death was al
most miraculous.
Rising slowly under the power from
five gasoline engines, the great air
ship lifted to height of probably 800
feet. Suddenly there was a ripping,
roaring sound end the forward end Of
the airship tilted downward.
Crowd Is Panic.stricken.
The great aerial craft began to set
tie slowly to the ground. The occu-
pants of the airship hung desperately
to the rigging, while the crowd of TO-
600 persons we're panic-stricken be-
fore what appeared to be impending
disaster to the sixteen men. AS the
airship settled toward the ground sew
eral of the men leaped and were seri-
ously injured. Others stayed with
the craft until it reached the ground,
and they, too, were injured by the
heavy engines and the superstructure
Of the airship.
The injured are all doing we'll.

Mother Of Young Girl Makes
Complaint Against Leaven-
worth Clergyman.
SHOWS LETTERS PASTOR WROTE
Admits the Charge and Tenders Resig.
nation-Was Popular and
Leader in Reforms.

Leavenworth, Kan, May "a. - A
sensation was caused here yesterday
when it was announced that Rev.
Robert A. Ellwood, pastor of the
Presbyterian church Of Leavenworth,
had yesterday rendered his resigna-
ton to the elders of the church. The
resignation, which was accepted, was
admitted by the elders to be the re-
suit of charges preferred against the
pastor by the mother of one of the
young girls in his church choir.
She had presented the elders with
letters which her daughter had re-
ceived from the pastor, who has wife
and a child. He came to Leaven.
worth three years ago from Whining
ton, Del, and has been very popular.
He declined to make any statement
yesterday.
Admits Writing to Girl.
Rev. Elwood's church here was one
of the Oldest and most conservative
in the city. Since coming here the
pastor has been the leader in many
reforms started here.
Rev. Elwood, when confronted with
the letters, admitted that he had
written them and offered to resign.
The elders agreed to accept the res
ignation and let the matter drop with
that action. One Of the elders later
declared there was nothing criminal
in the letters.
