"JIM" HILL'S PLANS.

ANOTHER ROAD TO BE USED.

Htir Up the Traflla Association.
CmcAao, May IS Kngineer Arm
strong, of the Great Northern's Mon
tana extension, ia here and says that
forces have been organized to lay three
milea of track at which rate the gap
between Kilishell, Mont., and Spokane,
Wash., will be speedily closed. It is
possible that passenger trains will be
rnn clear through from St. Paul to their
Pacific Extension of the Great North
ern by June first and it is now first
given out that President Hill has made
arrangements for continuing to the coast
from Spokane over another line until he
can complete his own road. General
Trallic Manager Shelby who is to be
transferred from St. Paul to Spokane,
will not only look after the frieght in
terests of the system on the Pacific
Coast, but will also be the special rep
resentative o( the president and in that
capacity will direct the construction and
operating departments. The Great
Northern is undonbtly preparing for an
early participation in transcontinental
traffic and appearances are it will make
a stir when the hat drops. President
Hill has been a harmless member in the
Western Traffic association, but this
resulted not from a desire to become obe
dient to agreement; but from lack of
opportunity. It is currently reported
that he holds association in supreme
contempt and that he will not be bound
by its provisions or enactments when
the time arrives to make a dash for
traffic.
When in Tacoma early in the year,
President Hill gave a general impres
sion from what he said that he would
disregard the trallic association when
his line was completed to the coast.
Among other things, it will be remem
bered, that he said he would reduce
lumber rates to 40 cents to Chicago and
Mississippi valley points, which is 15
cents less than the Northern Pacific's
rate under the traffic association's rules.
TO MEET IN TACOMA.
Information has been received here
that the directors of the Thomson,
Houston and Edison General Electric
companies will meet in New York on
May 26th to ratify the recent consolida
tion and merge their business under
one management. The directors of the
new company are then to come to the
Pacific coast and a meeting will be held
at Tacoma, at which the matter of es
tablishing a Pacific coast factory in this
city will be considered.
SMALL-POX IN VANCOUVER.
Vancouveb, B. C, May IS "Quaran
tine Dupont street. Swear in all the
officers neceasary for enforcement of
strict segregation." Tuis was the mes
sage received by telephone by Chief of
Police McLaren from Mayor Cope at 9:30
o'clock lastevening. The work was at once
commenced. Dupont street, from Car
roll to Coluinbio avenue, is known as
Chinatown; irom Columbia avenue to
Weutminister avenue it is lined on both
sides with bagnios, and in two of these
it had been found necessary to put up
the yellow card with the ominous legend
"Small-pox." In an hour or so the
restraint began to bo felt, and brushes
with the police became frequent. One
special policeman named Thomas was
set upon, knocked down and roughly
used by men determined to enter the
street at all hazards. Medical Health
Officer McWicken went down on the
street and vaccinated all the women.
He was accompanied by the chief of
police, and from every house ran crowds
of irightened men, many of them pro
minent citizens.
The city is intensely excited over the
discovery of amallpox. The first word
came from Howe Sound, a settlement a
few miles from the city. The Empress
of Japan was quarantined on the last
voyage because of smallpox on board.
Mr. Livingstone, a saloon passenger for
New York, was found to have the di
sease, and was kept at the quarantine
station at Albert head till cured. The
vessel was sent out after a couple of de
lays. J. Hyde was watchman here on
the vessel. He went to Howe Sound
and last night word came that he had
smallpox. Medical Health Officer Mc
Wicken chartered a steamer and went
up at once, finding the case well de
veloped. Hyde had been taken into C.
C. Gibson's house, and the doctor vac
cinated six members of the family. Con
gratulations that Hyde had left the city
stopped on finding that his companions
who had lived with him bad the disease
in a small house just behind the city
hall and jail. His house was at once
quarantined and a yellow Bag hoisted.
Then Tupper Thompson, living in Boul
der hotel, just at the corner of Cordova
and Carroll, the principal Btreets, had
it. Special police were at once put on
there.

San Dieoo, Cal., May 18 At a meet
ing of citizens yesterday resolutions were
adopted instructing the mayor and coun
cil of San Diego and requesting the as
sistance of the board of trustees of Na
tional City, Cal., to begin proceedings
against the Atchison, Topeka & Santa

San Francisco, May 18 A dispatch
was received yesterday by General Pas
senger Agent Goodman, of the Southern
Pacific Company, stating that the West
ern traffic association has made another
move in the direction of doing away
with the payment of extensive commis
sions. An agreement has been effected
applying to west bound business over
all lines west of Chicago which is to re

D. Rockefeller hai recently given to the
church $50,000 in bond?. This money is

the interest on the bonds is to be used
lor the tanning expenses of the church.
JOHN L'S ALL RIGHT.
A Physician Pronounces Him
feet Condition.
New York, May 18 John L. Sullivan
underwent, for the first time in his life,
a thorough physical examination at the
hands of Dr. George F. Shrady, one of
America's eminent physicians yester
day. After looking over the massive
frame of the pugilistic champion with a
great deal of care and thoroughness, the
examination requi'ing one hour, Shrady
said: "In all my life I have never
seen such a magnificent speci
men of muscle development and indeed
I don't think such another man lives
today. You are in perfect condition,
Mr. Sullivan. Your heart, liver,
stomach, lungs and other organs are all
perlorminz their work properly. You
are physically sound, and with some
supertluous flesh in the abdominal re
gion removed, your power of endurance
would bo remarkable. When John
arose Dr. Shrady shook his hand cor
dially and wished him good luck in his
coming battle. "Oh, I'll attend to Cor-
bett," John replied. "He may be clever
nut he will have to go on the checker
board iiKe the rest."
MODERN MIRACLES.
New York, May 10 The Herald gives
an account of Monsignor Hernard
O'Reilly's sermon of last night in which,
referring to the piece of the arm of St,
Ann, the mother of Mary the mother of
Christ, the Mons'gnor said:
"We have here tonight a relic more
sacred and precious than the seamless
coat which Mary wove for the divine
Jesus. It is the very flesh which the
mother of Mary gave to her and which
she gave to her Son, who died on the
cross for the world's redemption.
"Do you understand me ? This thing
brings you almost in communication
with Jesus Christ. It is bine of His
bone and flesh of His flesh. Ask me
not what proof I have that it is the body
of St. Ann. 1 will reply that God gives
testimony that It is authentic by per
forming miracles with it.
"I am informed that since the relic
has been here, three separate and won
derail cures have been made. A man
who was so deaf that he has not heard a
sound for years can now hear perfectly
well. A young woman who was palsied
has been restored to perfect health. And
there is another, of which I will not
speak, who is within sound of my voice.
"if God performs Buch miriclea you
must admit that it is probable that it is
part of the wrist of the mother of the
Virgin Mary and flesh of HiB flesh. I
have not time now to tell you how the
body came to reach Constantinople from
Jerusalem, but it was taken there for
safe keeping during the persecutions by
the Jews and afterward was removed to
the Cathedral of Apt in France, where
it remains to this dav. An arm by di
rection of the Pope, was removed to the
basilica of St. Paul's Outside the Walls,
ot Rome, where Paul was slain.
GEORGIE CAYVAN DEFEATED.
he Dry Goods Men Wine the Floor
With the Ciotlilug Men.
Speaking of the recent Actors' Fund
fair in New York "Town Topics" says :
In point of fact, however, the only
instance in my knowledge of a rivalry
that at any time approached a point of
dangerous fervor was that attending the
contest for the diamond star, "to be
voted to the most popular actress in the
world." The Btruggle lagged Badly for
the hrst few daysot the lair, the opinion
ot the community as to the most poriiv
lar actress in the world evidently wav
ering between Maggie Cline, Sara Bern
hardt, Georgio Cavvan and Estelle
Clayton, Gradually this strange inde
cision narrowed down to the leading
lady of Mr. Froh man's nice little conv
pany and Miss Clayton. Between these
two the community hovered in uncer
tainty for many hours, that to the ad
mirers of the twain must have been
most anxious and expensive.
At this critical juncture the rumor ran
tnat one ot the most energetic and vig
orous managers of the fair had gathered
to the support of Miss Cavvan many of
the richest wholesale clothiers from the
lower part of Broadway. Instantly came
the counter report that the entire dry
goods district, in which Miss Clayton
had done yeoman service, bad rallied to
the standard ot the latter.
The two opposing factions, under the
guidance of their gracious leadership,
watched each other with cat-like care.
Every move on the part of the one was
met and matched I y a counter move on
the part ol the ot her.
"A hundred votes for Miss Cay van,"
shouted the clothing men.
"A hundred and ten for Miss Clay
ton," was the prompt rejoinder from
the dry goods dis rict.
"A thousand votes for Miss Cavvan,"
was met by "a thousand and ten" for
her rival.
So it ran from first to last. Trick and
guile, wit and wile, ran a tilt at one a n-
other, but with the event always a trifle
in favor of Miss Clayton. So that when
...iss Cayvan fainted from emotion and
fatigue, the clothing men said, for "a
sympathetic dodge," the dry goods dis
trict had it Miss (Jlayton promptly
raised the ante and fainted twice. Such
determination, of course, could not go
without its reward, and the diamond
star "to be voted to the most popular
actress in the world" waa handed over
to Miss Clayton.
We Bet on the Cleveland Bay.
ISkagit County Times.
A group of horsemen were discussing
the various fine qualities of their favor
ites that commanded high prices, in'
eluding the Shire and the Clyde. A
Skagit river man asked permission to
speak of a horse (in which he had an in
terest) that was not for sale nt any
price. Being somewhat ol a poet, he de
lineated as follows :
Another horse, another breed.
More graceful fotm, far better speed;
A horse that's known the world over,
And answers to the name oi Grover.
The labor party thought him bulky
And would not hitch him to their sulky;
But, to a buggy or a cart,
Good at the finish as at the start.
With level head and muscles strong
This Cleveland bay pegs along.
It's plain to see at every stride
He leaves behind the Shire and Clyde
In spite of hypocrites who cry
Protection as he passeth by.
Ye speculating, gambling scamps,
Ye manufacturers of worthless tramps,
If honest Grover be elected,
The working classes once protected
From your cu'ssed and lawless pranks,
Right-minded men will all give thanks,
While thieves and blacklegs shake ail
over
Each time thev hear of honest Grover.

ITS OBJECT.
The Vampires is a brand new organ
ization started earlv in April by Mr.
Turner and a dozen other non-superstitious
theatrical people. It is a secret
society and its motto is : "unity, Affin
ity, Fidelity ;" but it has no oi'her pur
pose but good-fellowship and mutual aid
and encouragement.
it is simply an organization in wnicii
if a Vampire "goes broke" every other
Vampire will "chip in" and help him
out.
Its officers are : Chief Ghoul, J. M.
lurner; Vice Ghoul, H. II. Levy ; Angel,
Dr. L. Nascher ; Body Snatcher, James
Ksdclitt'e; Collin Nailer, Schnitz Ed
wards; Imp of Darkness, Charles Stroh
menger, Jr.; Dirge Chanter, Signor
Carlos Serrano; Bone Polisher, Fred
Bohlmann ; Electrocutionist, Fred Ben
nett, and Sexton, Charles Angus.
SOME OF THE VASII'S.
It has a Cross Bones band (which
played last night), composed entirely of
orchestra leaders, including William
Johnson, of the New Park theatre; W.
Lloyd Bowron, ot the fourteenth street ;
Charles Mollenhauer. of the Bijou, and
E. C. Gohl, ot the Windsor theatre, ana
it has a Monument Quartet made up of
forcibly retired comic opera singers.
Among the other full-fledged vampires
are T. Edward Reed, Thomas Jackson,
Phillip Smalley, the Tipaldi brothers.
Thomas McQueen and Manager Price, of
the Lee Avenue Academy. Among
their last night's guests who are
clamoring for a perch in Roost No. 1 are
President Hotchkisa, of the Thirteen
Club; John Waller, Frank Dupree, E.
A. Pratt, "Dick" Gorman, Harry Fisher,
H. F. Seymour, Treasurer Rice, of the
Standard Theatre; James Dickson,
Cecil Kingston, Albert Henchel and Al
bert Hart.
Alter the viands had been dissected
the loving cup was passed around, and
while one vampire drank his four score
fellows flapped their wings and sang
their "shriek," which begins:
By gravestones cold and white
We spread our wings at night;
Over the mounds we love to dance
And wake a corpse right out of his
trance.
His trance, trance, trance.
Anybody was welcome to get up for a
speech, but as the trump horn drowned
every word he said the feasters got
along very comlortably.

Kosi.YN, May 10 The coroner's jury
late yesterday atternoon Drought in
verdict declaring unanimously that the
mine explosion here waa caused through
insufticient ventilation.
The testimony of the State mine
spector was directly to this point, and
he differed materially from the com
pany's experts in his theory of the ex
plosion. The verdict is generally con
sidered to be correct and just, although
it is rather a surprise to the company
and those connect d with it in the man
agement of the mines, who expected
that their theory throwing the blame
for the accident upon ,tbe dead would
be accepted. The verdict of the jury is
looked upon by the miners as a big tri
umph of justice over power. A number
of damage suits against the company
will be the result.
It was talked by the miners at Eoslyn
that Mine Inspector Edmunds would
not dare to give testimony tending to
inculpate the company for the accident.
It was talked that he owed his appoint
ment to the influence of the various
companies and would therefore endeav
or to shield them. His testimony en
tirely disproved this estimate of his
character. His whole course of action
throughout the entire investigation has
been manly, just and honest.

ihe quarrel arose out ot
dispute
concerning the new opera

violent altercation took place, finally
ending in the exchange of blows.
At nine o'clock this morn ng, the an
tagonists and their seconds went to a
spot behind the grand stand at Long
cnamp's race-track.
The first duel was fought by M. Blun

deep and was carried off' the field.
M. Dumulen then facid M. Roules.
who at the first thrust ran his rapier

Hie third combat was more prolonged;
but after a struggle oi fifteen minutes,
M. Leclerc, was driven against a tree

M. Avarignet, M. Blundel's Becond,
then interposed on behalf of his van

Isiu-EMiNU, Mich., May 19 Tho most
brutal prize light ever witnessed in this
section took place last night, ihe con
te tants were . George Carroll, alias
"Figi.ting Murphy," an Isabella county
man, and Peter Volkmer, a local pugi'
list. Although the local authorities
took extraordinary measures to prevent
the hght, a gang ot sports gathered
secretly at Poat'a hail and a twelve-foot
ring was pitched for battle.
It had been given out that the gloves
were to weigh six-ounces, but when
they were proluced at the ring, they
proved to be less than three in weight.
At the call ot time, the men rushed at
each other like mad bulls and fougiit
fiercely for eight minutes, no attention
being paid to the call of time. Each
scored several knockdowns.
At the end of the seventh round Volk
mer was seen to remove one of his
gloves in his corner but he at once re
placed it. At the call of time for the
eighth round the men advanced to the
center of the ring and Volkmer struck
Murphy a swinging right-hander, which
cut a two-inch gash in his neck, from
which blood llowed in a stream. When
Murphy came to the scratch again,
Volkmer hit him another blow behind
the ear, which caused a alight fracture
ot the skull knocking him completely
out. It took Murphy three-quarters of
an hour to regain his sense".
Volkmor has not been found yet by
the oilicers who are searching for him.
Murphy is in a precarious condition
from the blow on his head. It has since
been learned that Volkmer put a heav
iron nut in his glove when lie pulled it
oil' before the last round. Murphy may
die from his injuries.

AN EPIDEMIC OF DUELS.

In Hex 00.
El Paso, Tex., May 19 The duel
mania ie prevalent in Northern Mexico.
The latal encounter last week between
two of Mexico's brightest editors, rep
resenting, as they did, opposing lactions
in the contest for governor, has engen
dered bitter feeling between their
friends, and as a result numerous chal
lenges have been sent and accented.
The officers of the city of Chihuahua
are doing all in their power to prevent
more bloodshed. Yesterday Luis ler
razas, Jr., eon of ex-Governor Terrazas
and one of the richest men in Mexico,
was to have met Hon. Mauro Caudano,
a State legislator. Senator Caudano is
crippled from wounda received as a sol
dier and has a record as a duelist. He
has six bullet wounds upon his body re-
ceived on the "field of honor," "and
every man has suffered death who had
met him. A telegram from Chihuahua
states that the oilicers have succeeded
in keeping the two men apart ; but
the duel will likely take place today. It
is rumored that Enrique C. Creel, of the
Kanco lUinero has also challenged
Senor Caudano. Creel, it is claimed,
was the author of the article in "El
Norle," which was responsible lor the
duel between Caudano and Oehoa, and
wheu the challenge was sent he wished
to accept it h i nisei . Pablo Ocho, the
editor of "El Norte" would not listen to
this proposition claiming that he alone
was responsible, as it appeared with his
sanction. Caudana, it appears, was one
of the seconds and after both duel sts
had emptied their revolvers without
personal injury to either he insisted that
it must continue until one or the other
was killed. Four more shots were tired
and Ochoa was mortally wounded.
Governor Carrillo has uIbo been chal
lenged.
Thn feeling is very bitter against him
and he r muins close at home. His
house is surrounded with police and ev
ery precaution has been taken to pre
vent his assassination. Governor Gar
rillo retires fr-m office on the 12th of
June and will be succeeded by Col.
Miguel Ahuumda.
Promiscuous
ohootiug
Picnic.
at n Colored
Marysviu.b, Cal., May 19 A fatal
shooting affray occurred about midnight
last night at a colored picnic at Shel
don's grove, two miles from this city,
resulting in the death of Henry Flowers
(colored), and the fatal wounding of Wil
liam Lane. Jesse Foulk was also shot
but may recover. Last evening Foulk,
who is about 18 years old, went to the
picnic aud there met May Lane, sixteen
years old, the daughter of William Lane,
a farmer living near this city. Shortly
after Foulk's departuro, he waa followed
by Lane and Lucien Danley a waiter em
ployed in the Golden .agle hotel.
Shortly before the ahooting, Mies Lane
left Dunlev with who she had been
dancing and joined Foulk. The latter
and the girl had just seated themselves
to partake ot relreshments when Denlev
appeared, postol in hand, and told young
foulk he would have to give he girl up
to her father. Thn lath r then
grasped the girl by the heal
and said he would shoot
her if she refused to accompany him.
Young Fouik said she should not go and
as he said this, he waa struck on the
forehead with the pistol and knocked
down. Flowers, the colored man,
rushed in and grasped Danley, who in
pointing the pistol at Foulk tired before
he had risen. At this instant. Lane dis
charged his pistol several times, one
snot iHKing euect on t-ouiK, who in
turn drew his pistol, nd tired twice at
Lane, both shots taking effect. Flowers
was shot in the stomach and bled to
death in a short time. Lane was shot
through the liver and through th
shoulder and the doctors have little
hope of his recovery, i'oulk received
one bullet over the region of the liver on

Helena, Mont., May 18 John Swend
son died early yesterday mornins at a hos
pital, the victim of the most outrageous
assault m the history of this city
Swendson was a stranger in Helena
and Sunday night late was sot upon by
three lootpaiis, who knocked bun down
took all his money, some $17, and ihen,
iu wantonness, mumped the life out of
the insensible Ji-in, who was nearly fifty
years of ago and not at all robust.
Swendson lingered twenty-four hours,
suffering agoniea that cannot be realized.
One side of his face had been crushed,
but his most terrible injuries were in his
cheat and stomach, on which the thugs
had repeatedly jumped with thoir full
weight. He lay insensible on the dark
street for several hourH, but was discov
ered about daylight. After their assault
on Swendson, the thugs came up town
aud robbed a guest in a Ma n street
lodging house. The alarm was given,
and the three men caught.
They started off peaceably enough
with two officers, but when near the cor
ner of Brnadway and Main one of them
suddenly shot Officer Peter Bcharren
beruich, another knocked the second
officer down with his pistol, and the
three bolted. Within the noxt two
minutes a dozen shots were fired and
the most intense excitement prevailed,
nut tne l rce lootpads got away.

Auhi'kn, N. Y., May 18 Joseph L.
Tice, the Rochester wife murderer, was
electrocuted at 0 :30 this morning. The
execution was considered a great suc
cess. The witnesses saw no burning
flesh, no exhalation of air from the
lungs, no struggle of the victim. The
murderer met his fate calnilv. The
electric current was turned into the
body four times, each contact was brief.
The physicians in charge believod that
better results would lie obtained in this
was than with two long contacts.
The complete time of contact
was fifty seconds. The condemned
man was very nervous early in the
night, but when told at midnight that
he would be executed this morning he
said he was ready and would die like a
soldier. He joined fervently in the
prayers and slept a little. After mid
night he paced his cell, but became calm
at 5 o'clock and remained so to the end.
Tice was 03 years of ago and served
as a soldier during tho war. Ho was
married years ago and has been a
drunkard ever since. In a drunken fit
in Jnly last he stabned and killed hiB
wife. He paid the penalty today.

Los Angeles, Cal., May 19 The ex
citement over Evangelist Mills' meetings
grows warmer and keeps pace with the
weather. It is estimated that 3,000 per
sons attended the services yesterday,
and that 600 business houses closed to
let their employes attend. ;
An item not on the program caused
great excitement at the evening session.
Rev. S. J. Fleming, who was convicted
a few months since for an attempted as
sault upon a servant girl, arose and
made a confession of his wicked life.
For five years, he said he was a minis
ter without the word, a messenger with
out message and bi ought reproach up
on the calling of the ministry.
At the close of his remarks, the minis
ters on the platform pressed forward to
take the penitent man, who wept like a
child, by the hand, as one after another
they gavj him this mute token ot sym
pathy. THE PRINTERS' HOME.
Description of the Building Dedicated
Yesterday.
The Childa-Drexel Home for infirm
members of International Typograph
ical Union, which was dedicated yester
day, standB just above the charming
city of Colorado Springs and has a glori
ous prospect on every side.
Of all the spots on which a home for
oged and infirm printers might have
been built none is more delightful as to
climate and surroundings than the site
where stands this noble edifice dedicated
and consecrated to the lasting good of
the printers' craft on the morning of
the birthday anniversary of its foremost
founder, Mr. Childs, who iB 03 years
old.
cim.ns-niiEXEL home.
The home is a commodious structure,
as well as a grand one, viewed from an
architectural standpoint. A broad stone
stairway, prote ted by heavy balus
trades, leads up to the massive archway
of its portico. From the vestibule the
open portals of the main entrance invite
to spacious parlors, reception-rooms and
chambers on either side of the main
hall. Above the portico, in the second-
story cap course of red sandstone, in
raised gothic caps, are the words. "The
ChildB-Diexel Home for Union Printers.
Erected bv the International Typo
graphical Union, A. D. 1891," while on
either Bide throughout the front eleva
tion, suitable carving ornaments the
whole build ng.
The main building is of five stories.
including basement and dor uer, termin
ating on the north with a round tower,
which shows a complete story above the
roof. A square tower nt the other end
is formed by a projection from the main
building to the front and south, also
supporting an additional story above.
Each tower supports minarets and fiu
ials extending far above the ridge orna
ments of the roof, which are 60 foot
above the base course. Tho towers are
surrounded by porches and balconies.
Tho main eililice is 144 feet long by 44
feet wide, with a win; to the rear of the
north end 20x40 feet. Porches extend
irom the wing to the south end of the
building from tho first and second
storieB, affording easy access to any part
of the house from the rear, being ample
tire escapes, n necessary.
Each stray contains a central hall the
entire length of the building, every room
opening into a mum hallway, in addition
to hnving outer windows; this, with the
system of ventilation, furnishing sun
shine and air, curative agents of the
Colorado health resorts.
Mr. Childs has richly furnished and
decorated tho principal parlor iu the
liome one of the handsomest interiors
in the State. In the parlor there are
nine windows, which flood the room with
sunshine.
A novel and pleasing idea has got
afloat as to the furnishing of a number
ol the other apartments. San Fancisco
union has applied lor aud been granted
permission to lit up one apartment as a
Pacific slope memorial room, and the
St. Louis union, with some others, have
acted upon the same idea, ihe printers
of the Houston (Texas) Post have
solicited the privilege of p esenting the
home with an American hug. the loel
iug among union printers in all parts of
the country toward the enterprise is ot
the kindliest nature, and they may well
be proud of the work.
In the entire building there are 03
rooms, the largest one of which has
space Bulliciuut to accommodate 200
printers' frames, or, transformed into a
dormitory, 100 weary compositors could
lie down and sleep comfortably within
it.
Besides the site of the edifice, which
was chosen with care and uood judgment,
attached to the home is a body of land
that in Hie near luture will realize a
sum greater than has been estimuted
by the most Biuiguine of those who
have considered thut phase of the Bub
ject. Tho structure and the humane
purpose to which it is dovoted ate
credit to the intelligent organization
which has shown the enterprise to sup'
plement tho Childs-Drexel generosity
by an institution so lar-reaching in its
influence.

St. Lotus, May 18 The fear of blood
shed is added to the danger caused
by the rising waters growing out
of attempts to cut the levees. Seri
ous trouble is threatened at Nameoki
station on the Chicago & Alton railroad,
three miles from the river when it is in
its channel. Nameoki lies south of the
tracks. The entire country north of
town is flooded, and the railroad
embakment ia all that saves it. Early
this morning water began flowing over
low place in the embank
ment between Nameoki aud East
Madison and soon flooded the
latter place. Then the citizens of
East Madison started lo build a levee to
protect themselves. This would have
thrown the current through Venice.
Although tho last named place is under
water, the citizens aid not like to tie
placed between two currents as their
houses would be swept away. They turned
out in orce and threatened that unless
levee building was stopped they would
cut the Chicago & Alton embankment
and flood Madison. Venice also has an
armed guard protecting the Brook
lyn levee, which shields the town
from the waters that are pour
ing through the village of Brook
lyn. The people of Brooklyn
are anxious to cm the levoe bo as to
cause th water to flow some other way.
