Another Disastrous Flood Threatened
Along the Muddy.
Sioux CITT , In. , April 2. [ Special Tele
gram to the BEE. ] The flood on the Missouri
river ha * nt last reached this point nnd tlio
results arc serious , although the water in
he river hero hod reached a very low stage ,
t fell two feet yrsterday forenoon , then In
ho early afternoon it suddenly rose two
feet , nnd has slnco continued to rise. The
great Ice gorge at the mouth of the Sioux
river , nearly live miles above , hold firm. For
More than flvo miles nbovo the Ice Is packed
solidly In the channel. This acted as n dam ,
nnd above it the water rose with incredible
swiftness. Towards evening it burst the
lanks nnd rushed ovdr tbo lands on the
Dakota side.
By half past 3 o'clock last night the Chicago
cage , Milwaukee & St. Paul depot at Elk-
xlnt , twcniy-flvo miles from hero , was sur-
oundcd by water. The lower jwrtlons of
ho town were Hooded and the people had to
Ice to higher groiind. The situation nt the
town of Jefferson , botwen hero nnd Elk-
> olnt , wns even worso. A portion of the
allroad track between Jefferson nnd Elk-
> olnt washed out yesterday afternoon , and
luring the night telegraphic communication
was cut off. By this morning the whole
country on the Dakota side for ilftccn miles
above the Sioux river was ono street of
water , nnd n powerful current has been rush-
ng from the Missouri Into the Sioux river ,
endangering the railroad and other bridges.
This country is thickly settled nnd all the
farmers have been compelled to seek refuge
on the higher ground , next to the bluffs.
So sudden has been the rush of tbo water
that the loss of llvo stock must hnvo been
; rcat , but cannot now bo ascertained. No
oss of human Ufa has yet been reported.
Itellef parties were organized early this
morning nt Elk Point and sent out in boats.
Superintendent Bcnrdslcy , of the Mil
waukee company , started n relief train this
afternoon , but could pet no further than Jef
ferson. Tlio river hero this evening is
still rising with great rapidity , and Is carry
ing down immense masses 01 Ico. The cur
rent Is wearing away the river front nt pre
cisely the same points washed out last year.
On the Nebraska side further up nnd In front
of the town of Covlngton , the water is cut
ting out the bank , and threatens to overflow.
The Ice which Is running comes out of the
Sioux river nnd the great gorge still holds.
At 0 o'clock it is reported that the water Is
still riolng nbovo the gorge. At Elkpolnt the
water is now two inches higher than during
the great Hood of 1SS1.

Skinning the Stinrlr.
NBW Yoiuc , April 2. [ Special Telegram to

torlplly , referring to the Gould letter , snys :
"Poor Gould. His debut ns nn April fool
was n notable success. A donlcr In second
hand reminiscences , the whluiplrlng Victim
of n newspaper , a cable company , and n
woman , ho seeks to divert public attention
from the main Issue certain alleged rascall
tics and to evade that Justtco which ho had
every reason to fear. It is the old story of
Faust and his bargiin with , Mophislolihoios
nllover again history repenting itself once
moro. Gould's ' last weapon is the weapon of
n coward. Lacking moral courage to fitco
the contempt of an outraged community , ho
takes refuge in personal mallgplty. Drenched
to the skin with financial Intrigue , this spec
ulative trickster stands dripping before the
world nnd prates about the cardinal virtues.
"When the Herald chooses to enter the lists it
equips itself from the arsenal of honorable
warfare. Wo invade tbo sactuary of no man's
home. Not u word has passed our lips about
this man's prlvato llfo. When lip
closes the door of his house , a
truce is Instantly sounded ; when he
enters the field again tlio war is renewed. As
an clement of our business llfo ho becomes
lubllc property , and an independent journal
s bound by its duty and obligations' to the
public to comment on his methodsto examine
his transactions and to denounce .them In
whatever terms the occasion may suggest.
This wo have done and this wo propose to do.
It Is Macbcth's hand that Gould looks nt. Ho
trembles at what ho sees. The civil suits of
the past have only tcnsc'd him ; thoj1 hro
nothing ; they involve payment of money
only. Hut a criminal suit with the possibility
of finding himself behind the bars makes him
writhe with frantic fear and beat thoUlfwitli
impotent passion. If ho dare face facts , let
him do it. But reminiscences bah 1 theynro
the last resort of u whimpering ktmvo.
1C. L. Andrews , ono of the attorneys who
claims to represent the Kansas Pacific , has
sent a long letter to Jay Gould in answer to
the paragraph referring to himself , which
Mr. Gould put at tne end of his letter to J. G.
Bennett. Ho says in effect thatGould Is try
ing to direct attention from the real issue by
making personal attacks On bis Oppoucnts.
Ho cuds as follows : "Proceed with'your
defamation of cabinet ofllcers.editors of great
journals , and attorneys. The result will Show
you can not escape , by those methods o ip- }
fcnso , a criminal charge. "

The senate then resumed as unfinished
business the house bill for the purchase of

recommit the bill.
Mr. Stewart moved to recommit with in
structions to the committee to report without
delay a separate bill allowing the owners of
gold or silver bullion to deposit the same and
receive coin certificates therefor.
Mr. Sherman opposed the motion.
Mr. McPhcrson said , the proposition of Mr.
Sto\vart meant the free coinage of silver nnd
nothing else.
Mr. IJeagan suggested an amendment that
$100,000,000 of gold coin now in the treasury
be used for the redemption of intorcst-bcar-
ing bonds of the country. Ho declared that
the policy of tbo government iu both tbo ox-
ccutivo and legislative departments had been
since ISO ! ) in the interest of the money lords
of this country and of Europe. Ho knew
that the present administration had taken up
and maintained the policy of its republican
predecessors , but he proposed , so far'as bis
own action was concerned , without reference
to what others in the democratic party , even
in high places , should do , to stand by the
interests of the people , to insist on 'their
rights and to insist that the government
shall bo conducted in the interest of the
peoplo. u
After some further discussion Mr. Stewart
withdrew his amendment. Without action
the senate adjourned.

law to bo purchased for the sinking fund
during the fiscal year ending Juno 30 , 1SSH ,

the department , no undoubted lawful pdwor
except an incircaso of deposits in uutioiml
bank depositories to avert the dangers which
threatened the country , boeauso taxation in
excess of the needs of the government was
rapidly taking the circulating medium frqm

been exposed and locked up by the jwllco on
the charges of running an entertainment
without Ifccnso and obtaining money under
false pretenses , The sisters , who are hand
some yoUng women on the sunny side of
thirty , claim to hava been in the business
smco they wcro small children. They were
recently brought prominently before public
notlco In connection with the freaks of Henry
Jostram. The latter , who Is a wealthy West
Side photographer , was a warm friend of the
late August Spies , ntul bccamo infatuated
with the spIHt business at ono of the Liangs'
seance ? which hn attended Just after the
execution last November. Slnco then ho was
a regular attoiidant and a couple of months
ago created a great stir among the anarchists
by announcing to the public that he had
communicated with Spies' spirit at tlio Dangs
sisters' seance , and would receive
regular letters thereafter. Reasoning an
archists denounced him as n fool and after a
time the matter dropped out of sight. Then
ho began getting spirit messages froirt other
dead and gotio people , and llnnlly n week ago
becarao so demented that ho had to be confined -
fined In the detention hospital for the Insane.
It seonis now that a Air. Trofney , a spirit
ualist , made complaint to the police three
weeks ago that the IJangs girls were con
ducting a fraudulent exhibition , and a de
tective was put on the case with instructions
to become n regular visitant at the seances
and ingratiate himself into the confidence of
the mediums. This ho did , and last night
the expose was made. The detective , with a
brother ofllcor and the complainant , Trofney ,
took a front seat at tlio seance , and after the
usual preliminary , spirits began to appear in
the cabinet. Finally , when n Russian prin
cess made her debut , signal was given.
Trofney rushed forward and grabbed the
spirit by the shoulders while the detectives
lit the gas. Tboy.wcro compelled to go to
the aid of Trofnoy , who was having n
furious struggle with the Russian princess ,
who had dealt him two severe blows In the
face. Detective. Tyrrell grasped the spookand
said : "May Baigst I arrest you. " The
shrewd and mask were torn from her and
May was revealed clad in her ordinary house
dress , -The mother of the girls was about
this time .discovered making a flank move
ment on the cabinet and running up stairs.
An ofMcer pursued her and caught her secretIng -
Ing various articles of disguise. Some of the
male attendants at the seanco bccamo so
threatening at this that the officers wcro
compelled to draw their revolvers to clear
the way. The patrol wagon was called and
the girls taken to the station. The cabinet
was found to bo the regular spirit style , with
side doors , curtnins , etc. In it were stored
nn elaborate array of disguises of all kinds-
shrouds , whiskers , wigs and beards. The
sisters were completely broken up over their
exposure. The superintendent of police says
ho intends to huvo every one of these frauds ,
of whom thcro arc many here , hunted down

San Francisco Hebrews Swindled By
a. Notorious Confidence AVoumii.
EL PtsoTcx. , , April 2. [ Special Telegram

the credit of becoming interested in the
Jewish synagogue to such an extent that she
presented the temple authorities with § 1,000

So much pleased was the rabbi with this
munificent act that ho publicly congratulated
the congregation and thanked the strange
Jewess for her devotion and liberality. She
was in the synagogue at the time , and after
the rabbi's complimentary remark , arose and
bowed n hearty acijuioseenee to the laudation.
Subsequently , fearing detection , she loft for
the east , and after her departure her peculi
arities became known. Hence the arrest.

COON HUNTING IN JERSEY.
A Spbrt Thnt Una the Double Fascina
tion ofl'lonsuro nud I'rollt.
Raccoon hunting la a sport confined
almost entirely at present to the south
ern section of Now Jersey , says the
Now York Mnll nnd ExnrcM. Tli.oro
wasn time when the coon , as the south
ern ncRro Invariably called him , could
bo him toil all over the mitldlo and in
most of the southern sUUos. But now
South Now Jersey hna what la left of
the commou coon , The blnck-footcd
raccoon still oxlsta in Texas and Cali
fornia to a certain extent , but ho has
not. been the object of the huntsman's
pun and skill in these states. Coon-
hunting thereabouts , however , is ono
of the great sports. Not only is the
chase of the coon rare fun , but it pays
to trap the frisky animal and dispose of
him to these who use the body for vari
ous purposes. The average coon
weighs about ten pounds , but it is not
uncommon to kill coons weighing as
high as eighteen pounds. The ilesh is
solid and sweet and the meat is re
garded as a dainty , dish by epicures.
There are caterers to cultivated palates
in Now York and Philadelphia who are
always willing to pay for a fat coon.
The smart coon hunter not only gets
paid for the coon'a meat , but ho also
sells the tallow of the animal to drug
gists ami to at least one house that con
vert it into a salvo that is understood to
have rare qualities in the curing of cuts ,
burns and scalds.
The cinnamon coon is a grandnephew -
nephew , so to speak , of the brown boar.
His appetite much resembles that of a
bruin. Ho is very fond of a choice rab
bit steak and a bit of juicy squirrel.
The common coon may bo aptly de
scribed as a cross between a dog and a
cat. His tail is his own peculiar prop
erty , however. It has a long fringe of
brown fur , stripped with black bars ,
and is big enough to wag the coon ,
when the occassion requires. Every
roi > utablo coon has a pair ol side
whiskery , Dundreary-liko in aspect ,
through which the wind need never
cease blowing , His ono companion is
the oppossum. The coon and the 'pos
sum are the Damon and Pythias , the
David and Johnathan of the brute crea
tion. They both wngo relentless war
on the rabbit squirrel. They both love
holes in the ground and both prosper
because they are so "devilish sly. "
Those cold , moonlight uights are the
best in the year for coon hunting. Hun
dreds of men and boys in Atlantic and
Capo May counties are out every night
now after coon. Their shouts and the
noise of their guns can bo heard over a
region of nearly sixty miles. Dogs aroused
used to trail the creatures. When these
dogs , which are usually the little kcon-
scentcd beagles , are started out at night
they know that it means coon or noth
ing , and that no variation in the chase
in the way of running a rabbit is per
mitted , with short , shattered cres
cendo barks the hounds dash into the
woods after perhaps indulging in a brief
scrapping match or two on their own
account. If their bo a coon within a
quarter of a mile of them the hounds are
quick to find it out. The coon at once
begins to double and twist , in the hope
of throwing his pursuers off the trail.
But the hounds , as unerringly as the
hand of fate , follow him in his woodland
pilgrim's progress , hero , there and
everywhere. Once in a while , with al
most human intelligence , tlio coon will
take to the tree tops and travel from
limb to limb for mayhap fifty yards.
Then it is likely that the hounds will
search in vain for the missing animal.
Again tlio coon will clamber up a big
bush , and , clutching' a hanging branch ,
swing backward and forward a few
times until ho has gained enough mo
mentum to cast himself across a wide
brook. But old coon hounds know these
little tricks.
The leading dog regains the trail nnd
the others scatter on each side ana run
nbren&t of him. It is not long before
the dogs get close up to the fugitive
animal. The coon soon roaches its
above and has hardly whisked its tail
out of feight before the baying dogs are
at tlio foot of the tree. There they sit
and bay until the arrival of the hunters.
Sounding the tree by striking it with
an ax , the men are able to tell how far
down its trunk the hollow extends. At
its base is the coon's nest. Just above
it axemen begin to cut a hole and the
ccon , frightened by the noise , deserts
his nest , takes to the dead limbs above ,
and is ensily picked oil with u shot from
a skillful marksman.

CHICAGO , April 2. [ Special Telegram
to the llBE.1 Tlicro was but llttlo of hi-
tcrest in the wheat mnrkct this morning.
Five minutes after the opening the pit was
quiet except for the occasional Mil or offer of
ROIIIO local traders. There seemed to bo no
orders from tlio outsKle. The excitement In
tlio corn pit < lro\v most of the attention on
tlio floor anil strength shown thcro helped to
make the wheat market llrnicr anil oven to
ailvanco prices n llttlo , but there was no snail
In it , and fluctuations kept within a narrow
range , The fact that to-morrow would bo a
holiday and the anxiety about the ntrlko
wcro both benumbing in tholr Influence.
The dccreaso of 1,000,000 bushels In the
visible supply of wheat was rather moro
than the trade expected , but It did not
awaken any enthusiasm or cause any ad
vance in prices. May wheat opened at 77tf
@i7M'e , which was V@fc < higher than Sat
urday's close , worked down to 77V@i7 c
and up to 7 < ? cand held between these limits
throughout the morning session closing at 1
o'clock at 77V < > ' c. Juno wheat opened at
78c , sold down to 77 c , and closed all o'clock
at " % @ "Xc.
The corn pit was crowded with traders
some tiuio before the bell tapped , and there
was a promise of n lively time. The Into
opening , on account of the Drat hour bolng
taken up with deliveries , had given time for
Now York to show a sharp advance , and the
spreading of the strike lioro seemed to bo an
abundant cause for anxiety on the part of
the shorts. The llrst sale of May corn was
at fiJl c , which was ftfo higher than Satur
day's close , and under the eager bidding of
shorts thcro was almost immediately an ad
vance to MS/ . Then followed a ilocliuu to
MKQ.VJBfjo and on the next upward move
ment W-jjO was reached. The shorts ap
peared to bo the only buyers at this extreme ,
and the price began to sag slowly with frequent -
quont small reactions until 5 ' , ) c was touched.
The market was extremely nervous and un
settled. On almost the next sale after this
the lowest point was touched , at KMa.
Then there was n gradual improvement to
K53Jjc { , after which the urieo fell again
to KlXc which was the closing price of the
morning session. Juno corn opened atrfc ,
sold up to 02Ko and closed at 1 o'clock at
62-Kc.
Thcro was only a moderately active specu
lative trndo in oats , and the market waa
without special feature. May oats opened at
, sold down to 314c and closed at 3lfu. (
Juno oats opened at iUjfo'c , sold at S\ \ . % < Q'Alc ,
and at 31Vc , closing at the last named price.
July oats opened at HOJfc , sold nt 31c mid
30Xc , closing at 30c. August , oats opened
and closed at .7J.Cc and sold down at ono
timeto27'sc. September oats sold at 2GJe ,
The provision trade was in a qulot condt-
tiou. To show they were still in tlio land of
the living , tlio old bear element raided pork
shortly after the opening and forced the
price down about 20c. Tlio major portion
tion of this decline , however , was sub
sequently recovered , and when the
raiders withdrew trade bccamo
slow and uninteresting. Outside specula
tors , in view of the holiday to-morrow ,
were sparing in their operations , and with
cash buyers the railroad troubles placed an
embargo upon tlieir business. The day's
trading all around was under nn average
volumo. Jlased on Saturday's closings , pork
