V THE SIOUX COUNTT JOURNAL L. J. SIMMONS, Proprietor. HARRISON', - - XE15RASKA A htirrlcffof Denver 8 xlety. Denver, Aug. 29. The 6heriff of this county arresed Albert B. Maynea ami his wife Minnie on a ranch about forty miles from this place and they were brought to Denver and lodged in jaiL The charge placed opposite their nstnea U murder. Maynes is a lum'jer mer chant of this city and was married to his wife January 1 last In March, Mra. Maynes, being in a delicate condition, went to Madame Astle, the abortiouust, who is under arrest and was delivered of twins which we re placed in a e'ove and roasted before the husband's eyes while they were still alive. The police eay that this so prejed on the mind of My nes that he made a full confession to them of the awful crime. Mrs. Maynes who is a very pretty young woman does not seem worried about the mat ter, however, but will not talk to re porters concerning it. The police are after other married people on the samo charge, and say that am sts will follow thick and fast and that before the mat ter is through with there will be such a stirring up of Denver society as never was dreamed of. Madame A: t'e says that if some one don't come to her aid and get her out of this trouble that she will tell alJ she knows, which 6he says is a great deal. Complaints have been made against prominent cflijials in some of Colorado's smaller cities, and they will probably be brought into the case. Another ( luuiUmrgt. Tboy, N. Y., Aug., Til There was a cloudburst m the mountains near Sund Lake about 2 o'clock Friday afternoon and the damage resulting was '.he heaviest that has ever visited this vicin ity from such a cause. The heavy rain fall of the last two days has swollen the mountain streams that enter into Glass house lake into torrents. The lake rose rapidly, but no fears were entertained until the cloudburst occurred, Then the heavens seemed to open up and the rain came down- in sheets of water. Nothing like it had ever been ex perienced and for several hours the stoma did not abate n particle, but seemed rather to increase. Whether any one has been drowned by the deluge can not be determined, although several are missing. That a flood of such seriousness aa this could occur and no li es 1 e lost is almost im possible. It ifi expected that when communication is restored thro will be reports of missing people. The damage is probably $100,000. The cutting away of the mountain forests is largely re sponsiole for this and similar floods. 4 Hlomly Tragedy. Georgetown, Ky., Aug. 29. For sev eral weeks there has been 1 rouble be tween the Kendall and Jarvia families, which culminated in a bloody tragedy. There had been severe quarrelling the last, few days over the robbing of a watermelon patch. Peace warrants were sworn out and the trial set. . Yes terday M. H. Kendall and four sons came to town, armed with rifles and re volvers. The three Jarvis brothers also came, only one being armed. About 9 o'clock Milt Kendall, jr., coming up behind John Jarvis shot him in tho back, killing him instantly. His brother Burrell Jarvis, ran into the hardware store of A. J. Montgomery and asked for a gun. Milt Kendall, the father, rushed in after him and fired a shot which entered Montgomery's breast and kiiled him. Burrell Jarvis jumped through a rear window, but Kendall followed him and shot him down with a revolver, inflicting a mortal wound. Montgomery was in no way connected with the trouble. He was a prominent and worthy citizen and leaves a large family. The Kendalls afterwards sur rendered and are now in jail. Another Sulfide. Philadelphia, Aug. 29. L'zzie Wil son, aged thirty-two years, living at No 1507 Fourth Front street, poisoned her self and her illegitimate child yester day. The babe was dead when the couple were found, but the mother lingered several hours before death en sued. The woman before her death made a statement in which she said a man named Kantz was the father of the child, and his persistent refusal to marry her caused her to commit the terrible deed. The wrongs of the wo man had so preyed on her mind as to cause her to become insane. While in this condition she gave her babe arsenic and took a dose herself. Kantz has been arrested; Oa the Versa of starvation. St. Petersburg, Aug. 29. The town of Moscow is considering a proposition to compel all employers to furnish their workmen with rye bread at the normal cost, or about one-half of the present prioe. Experienced persons say that the rye ukase will merely have the ef fect of enriching a few dealers who are holding grain (or famine prices.

The westbound pasa-n-ger train, knovn as the fast mail, com posed of bagsge, ruai', first and second class coa?hes. Pullman sleeper and Superintendent Bridge's private ca was loaded down with passengers. The sleep r usually contains a goodiy num ber of passengers from northern points and last night wa6 no exception. Just after leaving StaU-cvilie there is a high Kt.inrt I rdire srmnnirc 1 bird cretk. and down into the creek plunged the entire j train, a dietata e of at least sixty-live? fe?t, wrecking tho train and carrying death and dettruclioa wLh il. Twenty passengers were kilKd out'iht, nine seriously injured and twenty badly bruised. The night was denial and to add to the horror of tbe situation the water in the crtek was up. H was only through the most heroic efforts of those who had hurried to the fcene of the wreck that the injured were not drowned. The a cident was caused by the spreading of the rails. The bridge was not injured and trains aro running on tide. Twenty dead bodies are now lying in the ware house at Statesville The following is a list of the killed: William Ve&tt Warren Fry, H. IL Linbter, W. M. Hous ton, W. E. Wins'.ow, Charles Bennett, W. J. Fisher, J. B. Austin, T. Brodie, J. M. Hikes, Mrs. Pool, Jube Fer, Doc Wells, John Davie, Mr. MoUirmick. Dr. George W.

Another is A lady with a ticket iu her pocket which roads "To Mrs. George McCuimick and mother." The third is also a lady. It is thought all the bodies have not been taken out of the debris, which is piled so high that it is impossible to make a thorough examination. Every person in the sleeper was killed. Early in ilia morning as it was, hun dreds of willing people from tho sur rounding country weru quickly at the wjrk of rescue. The debrio of cars was piled mountains high, it Eeemed, in the utmost confusion. In the fall the Pull nan bad leaped over theothere, strik ing the ground with terrible force and being crushed like an egg shell. People were brought out mangled in all sorts of ways, only two or three bodies being taken intact. Engineer West and Fire. man Pry "vere cnt into small pieces. A IJrlilge Fulls While lleing Uepaired. Cumberland, Md., Aug. 20. Friday afternoon at 4 :80 o'clock, while work men were engaged in repairing the Cumberland streot bridge, which Bpans the Biiltimore& Ohio railroad tracks at this point, began to sway to and fro. The workmen ran for their lives, but two, Toibart Minnicke, aged twenty, and Walter Miller, aged twenty-four, were unable to get off in time, and as it fell with a craf h the men went with it and were buried in the debris. When their companions recovered from their fright and hurried to them they found that Minnicks had been instantly killed, and Miller seriously injured. The latter was with great difliculty gotten out from under the wreckage. The bridge was a wooden structure, 130 feet loog was built in 1872. It had been con demned and has been closed for some time past. Fro n Ilelirlijg rea. San FnANcistx), Ajig. 29. The Chron icle's Ounalaska advices note the de parture of the United States commis sioners from Alaska waters and states that the British commissioners before leaving intended visiting the islands north of the Pribiloy croup, the object being to ascertain as nearly as possible the range of the fur seal in Bebring sea. The advicos et ate that the persistence with which the English commission la seeking informrtion leads to a belief than an effort will be made to break down the theory advanced by the American authorities that the Pribiloy group is tbe home of the seal and that the animal belongs more to the land than to the sea. A list of sixty-one vessels and their catch up to August 10 is given. The number of sella caught was 27,000. Twenty-four British and eight American vessels had not been boarded up to that time and their catch had not been ascertained. The corres pondes' says the sealers conceded that this number does not represent more than C2 per cent of the total number of seals destroyed up to date this season A Bade fallaw. , Pretty Girl Did you see the way that roan looked at ma?

Sudden- , ly M re. Wilk was heard to exclaim: ' 'Til kill myself." "There is tt. ocean," Raid her bus band, "go urown yourself." The woman promptly sprang into the breakers and fell forward, disappearing in the spray. Mr. Wilk. calmly 6tod and watched her as she w as tossed , about and then a wave threw her on the shore almost at his feet. He never ; moved, and the woman pprang up ana rushed into the wavrs Bgain. Thin j lime f he succeeded in getting beyond, tbe breakers and it seemed as u tier wish for death as to begratilied.

One of the nar row e capes from death that no one can account for is reported in Brooklyn, William Han'ey fell from a height of 131 feet, and was not hu-t, nrr frightened, and the only ebullition of feeling he manifested was in connec tion with the slopago cf bis watch, caused no doubt, by the concussion. Ilanley was working on a brick chim ne 123 feet high ot the Uidgewood water works. He and other men were on a scaffold and were protty near the end of their job. The last tier of bricks f t the chimney was laid aiid the coping, a stone in quarter sections, was about to be cemented on top, Hanloy, a house Bmith' was engaged adjusting the top girdtr, and to do this wurk he had to stretch himself along his length on the slone coping.

When Ambu lance Surgeon" McEvitt arrived, the -A-orkmen remembered Masterson who had been caught and held by the e folding half way up, and t'ley went tn bring him down. Ho was found to be suffering from injuries all over the body and they carried him down the long lad dors to lay him beside the dead H iniey. But Ilanley refused to bo nonsiik-red dead. Not only that, but ho was walk ing around curiously examining the ground and laughing at the idea that poor Master on was wounded, while he had fallen twiiie the distance, and was sound (is a dollar.

More V.nin to he Produced, Cwcao. Aug. 23. A Chicago genius named Uathmaa has a plan for produc ing rin by the use of carbonic acid gas. His plan is to explode cylindrical shells filled with the gun at a distance of four to dve thousand feet above the earth. The throwing off of such a tremendous amount of carbolic acid gas at the low est possible degree of temperature would produce a very huge cloud, says Gathuian. Bung heavier than the sur rounding air it would descend at the same time enlarging and accumulating moisture. This would continue until the cloud became so heavy that percipi tatfon would result aud a gladsome shower would follow. Conductor Cruilud lo Delih.
