An Awful Frculiet In Jowa.
BOONK , la. , June 27. At the Chicago
cage & Northwestern headquarters in
this city was received yesterday the
first direct news from the scene of the
Hoods on the Maple river branch of j
the road. The dispatch is from the 1
operator at Moville and says that the j
town is almost wiped out , the water is
running in at the depot windows and
is up to the ceilings of all the build-
ings. t j
All the houses in flat portions of the ;
town have been swept away and the !
railroad turntable is washed from its '
place. Three miles of track are gone
between Moville arid Kingsley , also
most of the small bridges and the
bridge over the Sioux river.
This destruction is now being sup-
piemen : ed by another storrn raging at
present in the same vicinity and extending - !
tending south to the main iine of the
Northwestern. It is raining very hard
and the storm is traveling. i
Cherokee is still isolated from rail
road and telegraphic communication
with tiie rest of the world. An Jili- '
nois Central conductor who returned !
today from the scene of desolation re
ports damage and loss of properly ,
live stock , growing crous and personal
lipsscs of the unfortunate people who
li ivcd in the track of the storm as almost
"
most iicredibie. -
The coiuury from Storm Lake to
Cherokee Wednesday was one vast sea
of water. Merchants in every town
between the two points suffered great
loss from floods , to say nothing of un-
tojd damage to crops and live stock.
Of seventy-five to one hundred houses
washed on the bottom at Cherokee
most of them were homes of laboring
men. These people lost everything ,
barely escaping with their lives. Hun
dreds of animals were seen in the river
floating past Cherokee Wednesday.
Qoi-ses ned to fragments of their'
wrecked darn ! were also seen , some >
dead and others drowning. Hundreds
of cattle , hogs and chickens followed
each o'lher al sho'rt fnTervaTs.
One farmer livingVouth of Cherokee
said that over two hundred head of
cattle we're missing from his pasture
and he supposed all were lost. A man
named Yaugh. an importer of draft
horses at Cherokee , lost eight fine ani
mals. The Little Sioux valley Irom
Cherokee to Onawa is one of the larg
est stock raising sections in Iowa and
when the water subsides and a careful
survey of the desolated district can be
maoe the loss will be found to be uu-
paiiing. . -
The Illinois Central is also a heavy
loser. Superintendent Giileas says j
that $200.000 would not repair the i
damage already in sight and investigations - |
tions have not been pursued further ,
than five miles on the south branch ol '
the Cherokee & Dakota division , the '
north is still inaccessible. The company -
pany has a force of 200 men at woric
at the bridge at Cherokee , and it is
expected a temporary structure will be
ready for use by Sunday. :
Four DOUGE , la. . June 27. The '
latest advices from Cherokee say the
damage by the flood is greater than at
first reported. As the waters recede
the carcasses of cattle are exposed and
the stench from the same permeates
the air. It is estimated that hundreds '
of head of stock were lost there. Two
miles i track of the main line of the
Illinois Central between Cherokee and
Sioux City are washed out and it will
take about a week to repair the dam- '
age. The Onawa and bicux Fails
branches of the same road are in : i
worse condition. The wires over both ,
branches are stiil broken and authentic |
reports of loss of life have not been i
received. While the Sioux river is '
going down , it is siili forty feet deep. ,
The work of clearing away the debris
is now in progress , and aid is being
given the unfortunates at Moviile who '
are camping out. '
An eye witness of Tuesday's flood.
who has just arrived from Cherokee ,
states that it is necessary for one to
see tg have the least idea of the great
amount of damage done.
Why , " he exclaimed , "it is simply
and terribly wonderful the way that ,
the immense body of water swept
things before it. Houses were but
bubbleon its crest. I was at Cherokee - >
kee when the cloudburst came and in
less time than it takes to tell it , a flood
was upon the town. Houses were seen
to tremble , swing half around and be '
'
carried along by the torrents. Trees
were bent and broken like reeds , and
not a thing could stop the terrific on
ward rush of the water , and all this ,
occurred before the people could pos- ,
sibiy realize what had happened. j
The most remarkable feature of the '
disaster is that any one in the track of
the flood escaped with their lives. As
far as I know no lives were lost at
Cherokee and the immediate vicinity.
The storm rendered between three
hundred and four hundred families
homeless in and about Cherokee. They
are being cared for in the Masonic.
Grand Army of the Republic and
Knights of Pythias hails at Cherokee.
The Illinois Central lost 12.777 feet
cf roadbed , and 987 feet of piling.
This does not include the bridge taken '
out over the Sioux river. The amount
of damage will reach $250,000.

"I am somewhat acquainted with
Mr. West fall , and regard his nomina

the agricultural interests of the west. "
"Is your alliance increasing in mem

"Yes , sir. it is. In every state where
it has an organization it is increasing
rapidly. In Nebraska , especially , the

WASHINGTON , June L'7. Further ex
periments were made by Colonel Dyer
for the department of agriculture on
the outskirts of Washington in test
ing the feasibility of exploding a ,
boiloon charged with gas at a consid
erable height in the air , with the ob
ject of discovering the practicability
of exploding dynamite in a like man
ner and its eiVecl in producing rain in
case of drouth. Three balloons , about
twelve feet in diameter , charged with
two parts of hydrogen and one of oxy
gen were exploded at an elevation of
about twelve hundred feet. The tests
were considered a success.
TrU-IiIuar In the Pork.
CHICAGO , June 27. Trichinae have
been found in the meat of hogs killed
at the stock yards by Prof. Michels
and his corps of trained microscopists
who are making the federal inspection
of pork in the big rooms of the Xelson
Morris building on Halted street.
Speaking on the subject of his discov
eries Prof. Michels saidj
J "TlTree days of inspection of pork
1 under the microscope has revealed
more trichinae than I expected to find.
I do not care to inform the press of
the number of hogs we have found to
be infected , as it might cause alarm.
We have found the parasite in Chicago
cage pork , and wherever it has been
discovered the meat of the hog has
been destroyed. "
Seven hundred more hogs will be
inspected today. Prof. Michels said
that the safest way for the housewife
to guard against the deadly little ani
mal is to cook pork through and
through. Meantime he will do h s
best to lessen the danger which yes
terday's examination revealed.
Considered by the Cabinet.
WASHINGTON , June 29. The cabi
net meeting to consider financial ques
tions was attended by Secretaries Fos
ter , Tracy , Xoble , Rusk and Postmas
ter General Waunamaker. Secretaries
Blaine and Proctor and Attorney Gen
eral Miller were not present and thoil-
departments were not represented.
The questions discussed were the con
tinued coinage of silver , the extension
of the 4i per cent bonds and the
change in the form of the assets and
liability statement. Secretary Foster
made the following1 statement as to the
result of the meeting1 affecting1 the
coinage of silver : After a full and
careful consideration of the law re-
luting1 to the coinage of silver , Secre
tary Foster finds that the act of March
o , 1891 , requires "that the secretary
of the treasury shall as soon as prac
ticable coin the trade dollar bars into
silver dollars. " lie also tinds that
$150,000 has been appropriated for
the recoinage of subsidiary silver coin
into such denominations as will best
serve to give it circulation. There is
a constant demand for small coin , prin
cipally dimes , which the mints have
not been able to supply. The secretary
of the treasury has decided that his
first duty in this matter is to obey the
uirectiou of congress.
Congress has ordered the coinage of
the trade dollar into standard silver
doi'ars. The coinage of the trade dollar
lar bars in this manner will transform
what cost 5,087,795 into 5.146,2S1
standard dollars. The secretary iinds
that it will require perhaps four
months to perform the wonc of coining
the trade dollar bars into sandard do-i-
lars and rccoining the subsidiary sil
ver , therefore , the question of the con
tinued coinage of silver dollars as
heretofore is not a practical one at
present.
The cabinet also decided to change
the form of the asset and liability
statements issued from the treasurer's
office daily and at the beginning of
each montn. In the new form of state
ments the net surplus will disappear
and only an available cash balance
will be carried. Other changes of a
minor character will be made , but
what they will be has not as yet been
decided by Secretary Foster. In a
general way the new form of state
ment , both of the debt and asset and
liabilities' , will closely resemble the
statements put out when Senator bher-
man was secretary of the treasury.
These changes go into effect the 1st of
.July , the beginning of the next iiscai
year. The extension of the 4 | pel-
cent bonds was not considered at this
meeting , but will probably come up at
next Tuesday's session.
The general impression prevails in
official circles that the action of the
cabinet postpones the continued coin
age of silver for the present. Jn lien
thereof trade dollar bullion will bo
coined in an amount equal to the
monthly coinage by the treasury during
the'present liscal year , which has
been at the rate of about 2,000.000
ounces of silver per month.
A London dispatch says Mr. Spur-
geon has had a serious relapse.

YOKK , Neb. , Juno 20. A terrib.e
accident occurred near here yesterday
morning on the Lincoln & Black Hills
line of the Burlington , about two and
a half miles west of the city. As near
as can be told the accident occurred ut
5 o'clock and was caused by the heavy
rain of last night washing out a small
culvert into which a train crashed at
a speed of eighteen miles an hour.
Train No. 45. drawn by engi.io No.
193 , which was manned bG. . W. Delaney -
laney , engineer , and Oscar W. Bean ,
fireman , came thundering along and
plunged into the hole. Whether Delaney -
laney haw the hole and tried to stop ,
or whether the accident came without
warning , will probably always remain
a mystery , for the engineer was killed
and the fireman is unconscious and
dying. The engine plunged into the
abyss and twenty-three cars arc piied
up in indescribable confusion. Be
neath the mass of broken cars lie the
bodies of the engineer and fireman
and W. IIMoore , the head
brakcman. Word was at once sent
to York and to the officials at Lincoln.
The wrecking crew started from Lin
coln at S o'clock with men and material
to repair the road. Men. were also
sent out from Yorlc to aid in rescuing
the men imprisoned beneath the en
gine and cars and at 9:40 Fireman
Bean was found alive beneath the ten
der. He was almost insensible from
pain , the heavy iron rim having com
pletely severed the left leg below the
knee. The tender was jacked up and
iBean was taken out and given over to
the doctors in attendance. It is not
likely that he can recover , as the shock
was a terrible one. At llr.'JO the bodies
of the engine crew had not been
reached. Bean is a married man and
2ived at 1007 Q street. Lincoln. Moore
is also married and lives in Lincoln
and Delaney is a tingle man. Telaney
is a member of the Knights of Pythias
and a delegation of that order came
down with the wrecking train to take
charge of the remains.
Fireman Bean is said to have taken
on" his blouse , wrapped up his wounded
limb , used his suspenders as a com
press to stop the How of blood and
crawled out of the wreck.
A man traveling with a horse had a
miraculous escape. The car that con
tained himself and horse was thrown
about 100 feet and lay on its tide in the
bed of the creek. Strange to say the
man escaped with a slight sprain and
the horse did not get a scratch. The
scene beggars description. The wash
out is from twenty to thirty feet deep
and 200 to 300 feet long. The engine
phot into this abyss , and twenty-two
loaded cars were piled on and around
it in every conceivable bhaue , com
pletely burying it from sight. Mer
chandise , lumber , farm machinery ,
railroad ties and cars were piled
together in a shapeless mass of ruins.
.Wrecking trains with gangs of men arc
at work and traffic will be continued in
, a few days.
Delaney , the engineer , was to have
been married to an estimable lady of
Lincoln next week. The bodies of
Delaney and Moore were taken to Lin
coln yesterday afternoon , and the
funeral will take place today.
Colonel Sam Woods AVai. KeJilieratc-

TornivKan. . , June 2C. lleports
received bore place an entirely new
phase on , the killing of Colonel Sam '
Wood by James Brennan at Hugoton
Tuesday. The friends of Colonel Wood
have written that he was assassinated
and declare that the reports sent out I
by the correspondents were previously ,
submitted to the faction to which the
murderer belonged and approved. The i
most complete detail of the killing is |
given in a letter written to A. N. |
Mackey of this city.-law partner of the ,
murdered man. Mackey refused to '
give the name of his correspondent , as ,
he feared he would be violently deuit
with.
with.The
The writer declares that there was a
conspiracy among the friends of Theo-
dosius Bodkin , judge of tias district ,
whom Wood h : .u catis-ec to be im
peached , to kill jiini. \ \ bile Wood
was in the court room , Brennan talked | '
pleasantly with Mrs. ' Wood , who was
waiting in a buggy for her husband. I
As soon as Wood came out of the court '
house Brennan shot him in the shoul
der. Wood ran and Brennan shot him
in the back of the head. Still Wood '
did not fall , but turned around and |
Brennan shot him under the right eye. j
The letter further says : ' -.Every thing i
points to premeditation on the part of '
Brennan , as he stood bhenli" Cann otT
and surrendered only to the sheriffs of
Stanton and Morton counties who had
been in town all night by an arrangement - j
ment with somebody.5 j
When the letter was received Mr. ,
Mackey visited the governor and in- !
'sisted on the attorney general being J
sent to Stevens county to prosecute the
case. Wi.liam O'Connor , the county
attorney of Stevens , whose duty it is (
to prosecute the case , was an enemy I
of Woods , the latter having instituted
i proceedings contesting his election.
Mfr.Okey also insisted that a judge from
, another district be called in to try the
1 case. It has been impossible to g"-i
| any reliable news from Stevens county
until today. The telegraph operators
near the town of Hugoton refused to
make any reports whatever , ami tl o
newspaper reports hud to bo sub- (
minted before they vrcro sent out.
All the loading papers in the state de
nounce the killing , and it will probably - ,
bly result in forcing Judge Uodkin :
from the bench.
