town, and it waa within 10 minute more
than a half mile wide. A atreaiu of water, 12
leet deep, carrying half tbe current of the
flood-rained Obio, descended on tbe unsus
pecting people. It came down in a ruib
like a tidal wave. There waa no slow rising
of the walera to give warning. The bouse
on the oulakir were lifted up and rolled
over and over. Moat of tliem were torn In
to aplintera. Their inhabitant were
drowned in them. Nearer the center of
the town brick airucturee atopped the on
rush of the water for a few minutes, but
about two-third of tbe dwelling were
Hooded, careening out Into tbe current of
the river.
After a few minute, tbe borrorof tbe
aituation waa added to by the catching; fire
of a large bouaa that bad atarted down tbe
atream with the other. The people on the
root ware already In danger of being thrown

Ridoiway, April 4. Swawneetown Hood-
awept laat night, ia threatened with total
destruction tonight. Innumerable more
Uvea may be lost before another day baa
pasted. Hundred ot people have not yet
been recited from the houses in which they
were imprisoned; other are atill in treetopa,
and still othera are afloat on the waste of
the torrent. Late re porta aay the entire
levee will be destroyed by morning, and
every frame house In town ia certain to be
dashed to piece.
The wind is blowing 33 milea an boar,
with rain that cuts like gtasa. Great fears
are expressed for the rescue force now In
8bawneeuwn, as nothing can resist the
power of the wave dashing 10 feet'high,
under tbe impetus of the gale. If the
storm doea net cease the entire town ia
doomed, as well as most ol the people who
have not yet reached tbe hilltops.
W. C. Brann Killed.
Dallas, Tex., April C A special to tbe
News from Waco says:
In tbe midst of busy preparations for city
election meetings, while bands were play
ing and scattering handbills from their dec
orated vans calling the people together, W.
C. Brann, editor of tbe Iconoclast, and Cap
tain M. T. Davis met and fought a revolver
duel, which resulted In Brann'a death to
night. The combatants met at 6 o'clock on
South Fourth Street, in front of tbe Cotton
Belt ticket ohtce, and after exchanging a
few words, both began emptying their
revolvers into each other's bodies. When
the battle was over Brann waa foand to be
perforated in the left lung, the left leg, audi
the right foot. Dayla waa shot through the
right lung and through both arms.
The difficulty between the two men grew
out of the Brann Baylor feud of last year.
Davis' two daughters are pupils ol Baylor
University and the references made In the
Iconoclast to Baylor, which were generally
construed to mtau reflections on the moral
character of the pupils and faculty, brought
from Captain Davis a denunciation of
Brann, delivered in language most forcible
and direct. About a mouth ago, before the
City campaign opened, a friend of Brann'a
relerred to him in complimentary terms in
tbe presence of Captain Davis, and nearly
provoked a row then and there. Remarks
on that occasion made by Captain Davis as
to the Iconoclast and Its editor were re
peated, it was said In Brann'a hearing and
Brann'a rejoiner was carried to Captain
Davis. This episode atirred up the men
against each and increased the bitterness
between them, which began when tbe
Brann-Baylor trouble arose and grew in
tense when the Gerald-Harris tragedy oc
curred last November.
This afternoon, Brann and bis business
manager, W. H. Ward, were on tbe street
together, going in the direction of French's
bookstore. Captain Davis' office Is between
the bookstore and the Cotton Belt office.
When Brann and Ward reached tbe book-
And I greatly long io bear;
For alien hearts are round me,
And alien faces near.
Write when the aun ia sinking.
And the firelight fleck the gloom,
And the mist dims all the windows.
And the shadow shroud the room.
Write when the songs that we aang
From other voices come,
When the old, old strain awaken
The thought that have long been dumb.
Write to me very often;
For, in time of thoiighfiil pain,
I dream that I do what we did
Over and over again.
Write from the cheerless city
In Autum's evening damps,
When the splashing pavements glimmer
With the rain-bespattered lamp.
Write from tbe happy country,
With its grans grown hills aud sun,
Where under the moss-hung bowlders
Tbe musical rivulets run.
Write to me very often,
For 1 often think of yon:
And the life I lead is lonely,
And the friends I have are few.

The French Peasant.
The French peasant has an independ
ent means of existence. He owns the
soil he tills. If be employs laborers,
they at least will own a house and gar
den and bope to own a plot. , The Eng
lish villager is either a small tradesman
or a laborer. A garden which he culti
vates bnt does not own is, as a rnle, the
extent of his possessions. There are two
classes in an Engish villago, and these
may be subdivided iuto various religious
soots. There is only one class in our
French coinninne a fact which has a
material bearing upon the social econ
omy of the community. Every inhab
itant of the connuuue is a proprietor of
something, and all are bent on saving;
yet, with all their individualism, they
combine for common and mutual inter
est. This is illustrated by the organiza
tion of tbe syndicate for bnying at
wholesale prices. They uuite for the
cultivation of the soil, lending each
other horses aud makinp. np teams.
Every commune has a field, which ia
common projierty and where, on pay
ment of a trifling fee, auimals graze.
After the harvest all tbe fields become
common property, and the groa betail
and the other betail are allowed to roam
at large. Contemporary Review.
the President to tbe Congress of tbe people
thst might mean war. When tbe excite
ment waa at tne very highest, like Sn elec
tric flash tbe word passed that there would
be no Message today. Ita auddenneie
tunned the people who heard tbe news in
distorted forma, and amazed veteran, mem
bers of Congress. Ultimately, it became)
known that not only wonld there be no
Message today, but no Message this week,
and that tbere was a possibility that
the Message, though properly written and
approved, might not go to Congress at all.
The first reason for tbe delay waa that
the Administration bad received advices
from General Lee at Havana saying that
Americans could not be gotten off the island
today, and would be In grave peril if tba
Message preceded their departure. t
The second reason, ' and perhaps equally
potent with the other, slowly drifted Into
public comprehension late in tbe day
chiefly through tbe medium of pobliabed
Associated Presa diapatcbea from Madrid,
for extreme reticence waa maintained on
the eubject by the few In Washington who
knew the facta and even cabinet' officers
were unadvised on the subject. This im
portant newa was that the 8panish govern
ment, after wbat plainly had been moat ex
citing times in inner Spanish circles at
Madrid, had decided to re-open tbe case.
closed, so far a this Government was con
cerned, by tbe refusal of Spain to make sat
isfactory response to the representations
made br the United Slates last week, ia
order to avert Impending war, amfhad de
cided to make concessiona heretofore re-
lused. .
Wbat will be the final outcome It ia too
early to say, but the aspect of affaire cer
tainly ia considered more Pacific aud aufS-
cient to renew tbe hope of tbe President in
a eolation of tbe Cuban question satisfac
tory to the American people and achieved
without bloodshed. '
i
Americana to Be Brought Home.
Washimotuh, April 5. Tbe government
has dispatched a fleet of six vessels to
Havana to transport Consul-General Lee)
and all lbs United States consular officers,
together with all Americana now in. Havana
and vicinity who desire to leave the island.
The names ol tbe vesaeis are tbe Bacbe, the
Fern and the Mangrove, all government
tenders; the Olivette and Mascotte, of the
Plant aystem, and the steamship City of
Key West. In addition to these vessels.
Consul-General'' Lee is authorized to
to charter aa many other merchant vessels
now in Havana harbor as be may deem nec
essary for tbe safe transport of America a
aniens.
The Treasury Department hastelegraphed
tbe Quarantine officer at Havana directing:
him to permit all Americana who desire to
leave Havana to do so without certificates
or examination. Medical examinations
ill be made at tbe Florida coast.
General Lee notifies the State department
that if war ia declared Americana will be
unable to leave Cuba before Sunday.
Preparing to Leave Cuba.
New Yobk, April 2. Directions .have
been sent to consuls in Cuba to repair to
Havana, in order that they may be able to
leave tbe island without danger Jn caaeot
war. Arrangements have been anade lor
General Lee'a sale withdrawal, if such action
becomes necessary. Tbe American pews-'
paper correspondents in Havana are also to
be given tbe utmost protection, and they
will be allowed to leave with General Lee.
Lee Remains ln Cuba. '
Havana, April 6 The attitude of th
public is one of quiet expectancy. The)
order maintained In the city is admirable.
Consul-General bee assured the corre
spondent of the Associated Press that he
bad receivd no instructions , to leave)
Havana. It ia reported, however, that soma
of tbe consular records were sent north to
day. She Is expected back from 'Key West
Friday. On the Bache, . Mangrove ' and
Fern there will be ample accommodations
to take away all who are entitled to go. '
And Then the War Began.
Naw Yotk, April 6. A special to the.
Times from Washington says: (
The flying squadron, under command of
Commodore Schley, will move on the Ca
naries within 24 or 48 hours. This is the
program of tbe navy department. It Is
botb a reply to the dispatch of tbe torpedo
flotilla and the cruisers toward our shores
and preliminary to a decisive bfow at the
sa power of Spain. This is the first posi
tive war order issued. '
