For some time pa t several constables have bee a endeav oring to capture an Indian murderer, and on the 19th id June overhauled hlin. The Indian made a desperate effort to escape, pistol in hand, and got away ; a shot was tired after him, hut he did not heed it, and a Winchester rifle shot struck him, he dying from the wound shortly after. The Indians are greatly excited and have threatened the lives of all white people In the district. The three constables have fortified the Hudson bay post at tlaxleton, and can hold out If the place Is not burned. A Big Frr.hr 1. Prrrant , July it. -The frrahet In the Monongahela river Is almost unpreccdent ed,and great damage has been done to riv. er crafts and property all along the river from Ita head waters to this city. The sud denness of the t i-c took the river men en tire I v unaware-. and they were not prepar ed when the great volume of water burst upon them. Millions of feet of lumber, scores of coal crafts, fences, outitouscs and coal tipples have been flowing down the wift current for the last eighteen hours. The river at this point Is stiU rising with it u ci ana 9 incnes on tne mar at 9 oclock.hut it ia reported u stationer v with 42 feet atCreenboro,a hundred miles above this city. At every point between Greens boro and Pittsburg the lowlands are under water and residents have been compelled to live in the upper stories of their houses and in some cases to seek the hills for safe ty. Many had not time to remove their good,a the water rose at the rate of one foot an hour, and at Greensboro a 32-feet riac was reported In less than twentv-four hours. The damage to property cannot be estimated at the present time, but It will r .m ) 1 away into the hundred thousands. So 1 ir out one hie ha been reported lost. Fjdluiate , WA.siiisfUTONjuly 1 3-Maj.

It is a prodigy which has puzzled all the doctors nnd scientists that have made it a study. This wonder is Lily May Dowden, the ch 1 contortionist, a daughter of David Dowt en. All the joints of her limbs and body, with the exception of the elbow joints, are so constructed that they will work In any way. The Augers are as readily bent backward as forward, and the hands, feet and legs can be turned and bent in any conceivable airection. She can stand and without moving her feet, turn the body and look in any direction. ane is now but 6 years old, and Mr. Dow den has been offered $75 in gold to allow her to go on the stage at the Casino for half an hour, but refused It.."
