Death and Destruction Follow in the Wake of Rushing Water. DISASTER IN NEBRASKA. Ware of Water Five Feet High and Quarter of a Mile Wide, WEAK-WALLED RESERVOIR Farm Houses Carried Away and Lands Derastated -Many Rumors of Loss of Life -Details Not Obtainable. Curtis, June by the heavy rains of the last few days, Curtis Lake burst from its banks last night and the rushing waters carried desolation throughout the Medicine Lake valley. Thousands of dollars worth of railroad property In Southwest Nebraska has been destroyed, miles of meadows are a muddy waste, dotted with wrecked buildings and drowned live stock.

Human life probably has been sacrificed in the terrible flood that swept across Frontier county to those in its path. Details on this score have not yet been secured. About 7 o'clock last night the high railroad embankment, which had resisted the tremendous pressure of the lake on one side, gave way, and the Ant-up waters dashed forth. The embankment melted away like so much snow and the result was that practically the entire large body of water was released in a moment. Nothing, withstood the roaring flood, and the waters rolled in a wall five feet high and a quarter of a mile wide down the valley of the Little Medicine Creek.

Railroad tracks were torn up and tossed aside like straws. Hundreds of freight cars were swept out of the railroad yards and carried away like paper boats. The Curtis Roller Mills toppled over in an instant, so terrific was the onslaught of the raging flood. The mills represented an investment of $20,000. Down the valley the flood took Its way, carrying everything before its foaming crest.

It could have found no richer course upon which to wreak its work of devastation. Miles of heavy meadows of alfalfa stretched down the valley, on which grazed hundreds of cattle and horses. Farm houses thickly scattered told the story of thrift and success. The tossing waves covered the meadows and swallowed up the houses in a twinkling. It is known that many farmers were fortunate enough to hear the roar of the approaching deluge and escape before the waters reached them, but there can be DO doubt that all were not so quickly warned.

Medicine Valley, which lies between the Platt and the Republican rivers, is densely populated. All kinds of rumors are coming in and the disaster grows more frightful in Its aspect with every fresh report. POTATO LAND NEEDED. There Were Not Enough Plots to Supply All the Poor People Who Are Willing to Work Them. So numerous have been the requeste from poor people for vacant land to cultivate under Mayor Jewett's scheme that a call has been issued for more plots.

People having land that they can give for the purpose are requested to communicate with Mayor Jewett. It is stated that about 250 acres are In course of cultivation now and the potatoes planted two or three weeks ago give promise of a healthy crop. At first half an acre of land was given to each family, Supt. Michael was quickly convinced that this was too much and he cut the allowance down to onethird of an acre. He states that the poor people manifest a lively interest in the work and belleves it will be a great help to them (next winter.

MINNIE TOOK POISON. The Fitch Hospital Got Her Case and Pumped Her Out After a Great Deal of Difficulty, Thereby Saving Her Life. Minnie Morrison is the star dancer In Joe Hart's concert hall on Canal street and she has a partiality for one of the "scrappers" in that redolent resort who goes by the name of Lavigne. Minnie had a quarrel with the "scrapper" yesterday and made up her mind that she had lived long enough. It was about 10:30 last night when she went around to the saloon from her home at 164 Canal street, where she lives with her and mother and where she Is known as Minnie Sweeney.

She got a glass of water, and after drinking it pulled the cork of a small phial of laudanum and drank the drug. Hart, who was in the saloon, saw her and picked up the bottle. He saw the laudanum label and sent his wife to take the girl home. He has had the ambulance at the doors before this and did not want another visit. It attracts too much attention, and attention is not good for a concert hall on Canal street, especially on Sunday night when such places are supposed to be closed.

The girl was taken home and put to bed. Now about an hour before this little Dominico Barreese, 3-year-old, whose parents live In. the Revere block, tell down stairs. He seemed to have hurt himself pretty badly and a doctor was sent for, He did not come quickly and the police were finally notifled half an hour after the Morrison girl had taken. the poison.

The Fitch Hospital ambulance was called out to get the boy. The little fellow's parents would not allow him to be removed to the hospital; nor would they permit the ambulance surgeons to look at him or make an examination. When the doctors were departing a woman who lives across the hallway opened her door and said her husband was dying of heart disease and asked the doctors to look at him. They found the man, whose name is John Peters, in pretty bad shape and carried him down to the ambulance. One of the neighbors told the doctors about the Morrison girl taking poison and they went to her house.

She was a pretty sick girl. She was put into the ambulance with Peters and taken to the hospital. When she reached the operating room she assumed a very sullen attitude and refused to take an emetic. The stomach pump was forced down her throat and she was pumped out. In an hour she was all right.

She refused to say why she took the poison. She told the doctors that she was married and said she and her mother came from Dunville, about three months ago. Amalgamated Association Adjourns.

Once Cashier of the Queen City Bank, and Lost a Good Deal of His Money in Marion, and Real Estate Ventures Which Never Panned Out.

Word has been recelved in Buffalo that Gue C. Hardesty, well-known in Buffalo, committed suicide at Little Rock, yesterday by taking poison. Among the letters and papers in his pockets was an envelope addressed to his wife, Mrs. Carrie F. Hardesty of this city.

It was taken possession of by Coroner Walters. Among other things it spoke at length regarding some of his business affairs. In closing he wrote: "I leave this message for two reasons: First, that if my existence was in doubt, you might have trouble with my property or settlements; the other, that It might affect, your marriage again, which I hope you will do. As to the property, the I. C.

case is a Just one. I agreed to pay Osgoodby Hamil onethird of all that they got. Johnson will be all the witness you will need. He should pay you the $1000 less what he has advanced. Pelham, I hope, will do right by you.

He should let you have at least $8000 of stock. A large share of my notes to Mrs. Lee were unjust because I was forced to settle by allowing full amount of contract city school bonds. I have been to God much and am myself. Forgive me all my wrongs and commend the The Little Rock officials have communicated with the dead man's relatives here and the body will probably be brought to this city for burial.

Mr. Hardesty was well known in Buffalo and at one time was very prominent in real estate matters, taking active part in the Marion, enterprise, and in the Gatling Town Site Company which was floated and the bulk of the property sold off on the understanding that the Gatling Gun Company was going to locate its immense works on the property which had been laid out for it. He was an investor, not an originator, in the Gatling deal, and, it is said, he lost a considerable amount of his fortune when the bottom dropped out of the two big deals. He was unfortunate in getting in and getting out of the deals at the wrong time. For a considerable length of time Mr.

Hardesty was cashier of the Queen City Bank, which he helped to organize, and remained in that position until the bank had a streak of hard luck and went to the wall one day last July. The temporary failure of the bank weighed on his mind and he was involved in considerable litigation, which was 8 natural result of the failufe. His business troubles began to weigh on his mind and a year ago he went West for his health. At that time he lived at 187 Fourteenth street with his wife and five-year-old son. Since then he has been traveling about the country attending to his real estate business, which in spite of his reverses here were quite large In other cities.

For two or three weeks past his relatives in this city have not known where he was located and have been very much worried over his whereabouts and condition, because they knew his mind had been weakened by his business entanglements, and they feared he might make away with himself. Five weeks ago he left Buffalo to go to Detroit where he has real estate interests. From there he went to Toledo, where he remained until three weeks ago. From that time up to yesterday his whereabouts were unknown to any of his friends or relatives. Mr.

Hardesty was a brother of exJudge L. Q. Hardesty, who defended the Robinsons recently. Judge Hardesty, since his brother's disappearance from Toledo, has used every means at his command to locate him. "Ever since Gue left Toledo," said Judge Hardesty this morning, "I have sent inquiries to every city where I thought he might be to get some trace of him if possible, without success.

feared he would kill himself because of the pecullar way in which he acted. While he was cashier of the Queen City Bank, you will remember, he had a very bad attack of nervous prostration which I belleve affected his mind to such an extent that recovery was almost impossible. His health, mentally and physically was destroyed by that attack. A short time ago he began an action against the Queen City Bank to recover $35,000, which he alleged the bank owed him. He had advanced money for some of the stockholders, but he never received any of that Mr.

Hardesty was born in Eastownsend, Huron county, in 1860. When ho reached manhood he practiced law for a while, but later went to Kansas City and engaged in the banking business. Then he went to New York and organized the Bank of Angelica. Six years ago he came to Buffalo and engaged in the real estate business. He was worth at that time in the neighborhood of $75,000, but his unfortunate connections with shallow real estate deals broke into this money and he lost the greater part of It.

Successful Young Medics. Nine candidates entered the competitive examination for the position of house surgeon at the countyhouse and of the nine three were successful. They were Dr. William House and Dr. J.

H. Robinson, graduates of the Buffalo Medical School, and Dr. Marshall Clinton of the Niagara University. No salary attaches to the position, but there is always sharp rivalry among young physicians for the place owing to the valuable practice which the position affords. He Struck the Purser.

The Erie Social Club went down the river yesterday afternoon and a row occurred among the members when the boat WAS on its return trip. The purser tried to restore quiet, and some one, supposed to be James Sullivan, struck him. Sullivan leaped to the dock when the boat WAS being moored and ran away. Policemen Reagan, Wellington and Hogan caught him at Scott and Washington streets. Sermons Before Baptist Societies.

Speak Since Reed's Candidate for Collector at Portland Was Turned Down. New York, June Advertiser publishes the following regarding the relations between ex-President Harrison and ex-Speaker Reed: Scarcely once since the inauguration of the Indianian in 1889 has the Maine statesman 90 much as nodded to him. Indeed, there is about. as little cordiality between them as there has been for three months between Thomas Collier Platt and Strong. The trouble began not long after Harrison took the oath of office.

Reed called upon him at the White House one day and Informed him that the Democratic Collector at Portland, the home of the ex-Speaker, had been cutting up so many monkeyshines that he thought It would be conducive to the excellence of the public service that he be given his conge. The President replied that he proposed, so far as possible, to permit Cleveland's appointes to serve out their terms. But, of course, If charges were preferred he would be compelled to consider them. Mr. Reed formulated charges and presented them, The President did not hasten consideration of them with the speed Mr.

Reed hoped he would, and the latter chafed much under the delay. Repeatedly did Reed urge the decapitation of the Democratic incumbent and the appointment of a sterling Republican by the name of J. T. Bartol in his stead. While the President was healtating Mr.

Reed was elected Speaker of the House of Representatives. Soon after he learned that James G. Blaine, who was then Secretary of State, and Senators Eugene Hale and William P. Frye were quietly grooming a candidate, Inquiry revealed the fact that they had already recommended the appointment of a son of Gen. Neal Dow, the Prohibitionist leader, and that the Presldent was seriously thinking of naming the young man.

On hearing this Speaker Reed hurried to the White House, saw the President, and secured from him an admission that Dow had been recommended, but could obtain no satisfactory reply as to whether Dow instead of Bartol would be chosen. During the interview the "Speaker, In his own peculiar sarcastic way, reminded the President that, as Speaker, he thought he was entitled to have a little something to say as to who should occupy the federal offices in his own home and his own district. "I beg to remind you of the continued the Speaker to the President, "that nether Blaine, nor Hale, nor Frye Is a resident of my district. Blaine has the world at his command, by virtue of his office as Secretary of State, while Hale and Frye, I should think, ought to be content with a monopoly of about all the good things in the State at large, without intrenching upon my territory. Things have come to a pretty added Reed, with a scornful tone, the Speaker of the House of Representatives cannot recommend and have appointed the Collector of his own port." What Harrison's reply was has not yet been given to the world, Not very long after, however, the President sent Dow's nomination to the Senate.

The Speaker learned of it on one of the days upon which he had been wrestling with over 100 filibustering Democrats, with Willie Breckinridge and Buck Kilgore at their head, and a madder man was never seen at Washington. Asking Julus Caesar Burrows of Michigan to the chair, he hastened to the Senate Chamber and called Senators Frye and Hale into the cloak room. There he gave them such a dressing down as they never had before or since. The epithets he applied to them were said by those who overheard them to be unique in the history of billingsgate. But they refused to ask the President to withdraw the nomination.

That night Speaker Reed sent for the writer of this story. When the wrlter entered the Speaker's apartments at the Shoreham he found him pacing the floor like a caged lion. He ground his teeth, and then turning upon his visitor demanded to know what he thought of a President who absolutely ignored suggestions from a Speaker as to appointments in his own district. He was told that old timers would probably agree that the situation was most extraordinary. "Well," exclaimed Reed with all the rage he could summon.

for the occasion, "this little man over at the White House will live to sorely regret this day. It is an outrage on public decency to be treated as the Speaker of the House of Representatives has been treated." Then the Speaker dictated to the correspondent one of the most venomous attacks that was ever directed at a public man. President Harrison was flayed most unsparingly and unmercifully, and his Administration, so far as it had gone, was arraigned with all the vindictiveness of which Reed is a master. After the attack had been made ready for the telegraph, Speaker Reed requested that it be not wired that night. "Let me sleep over it, and come and see me in the he explained.

The next day the correspondent visIted the Speaker in his room at the CapItol and asked permission to telegraph what had been dictated to his paper. "No," responded the Speaker, waving his hand toward the other end of the avenue. "He is not worth the This was said with a look of mingled scorn and contempt. From that day to this Gen. Harrison and Mr.

Reed have scarcely been on speaking terms. Much as Reed resented the Interference of Blaine, Frye and Hale, he regarded the act of Harrison as so much the more reprehensible that he did not darken the doors of the White House during the remainder of the Administration. And when Harrison came up for a renomination Reed united with the admirers of the Secretary of State in the plucky but unsuccessful battle to name him for the Pres idency. Repeatedly since, on hearing that the Hooster statesman was to be the guest of honor or at any rate a guest at political banquets to which he has been invited, Reed has sent his regrets or Ignored his requests to be pres- ent.

Niagara Falls Barbers Kept Right on Shaving-Funeral of Miss Colman at Dunkirk -State News. TO THE EVENING NEWS.1 Lockport, June agony of the second trial of Joshua S. Helmer is over and this time the jury falled to agree, As forecasted in the NEWS yesterday the Jury came in with 8. report of a disagreement at 6 o'clock yesterday morning and were discharged by Judge Nash.

ALIGELD AGAIN. Illinois Anarchist Governor Vents His Spleen on the United States Supreme Court. DECISION AGAINST DEBS. "Never Were There So Many Influences at Work Strangling Republican stitutions at Washington," Says -Turning Point in Our History. SPRINGFIELD, June John P.

Altgeld is of the belief that the United States supreme court it has established a dangerous precedent in remandIng Eugene V. Debs and his friends to jail. He expressed himself in a very caustic manner regarding the decision, accusing the court of trampling on the rights of the people and being the tool of monopoly. Ho gives his views for publication in 8 signed article, in which he says in part: "This decision makes a turning point in our history, for it establishes a new form of government never before heard of among men, that is, government by injunction. "The provisions of the constitution 'that no man shall be deprived of his liberty without a trial by an impartial jury' is practically wiped out by this decision of the United States supreme court, and the theory that ours was exclusively a gov.

He Has Read Mr. Hill's Silver Speech Eut 1 Does Not Believe Its Author Has. CINCINNATI, June A special from Mansfeld says: Senator Sherman, in reply to a query as to whether he had read Senator Hill's criticism of his Zanesville speech, said he had, but that Senator Hill's remarks would indicate that he (Hill) had not read the speech. "At all the conventions in Ohio," said. the senator, "we have declared that wo are in favor of the use of both gold and silver maintained at a parity.

To the extent that we can maintain the silver at par with gold we coin it at the present rate. We buy the silver at its market value and coin it at the legal ratio, bus we maintain it by recelving it and paying; it out as the equivalent of gold." "Is there anything in this to degrado our dollar standards, as Senator Hill says?" "It does not degrade it. The whole of our policy is to maintain the two metals at par with each other." "What about Senator Hill's sarcastio reference to our silver dollars and greenback dollars being exportable?" Hill only displays his Ignorance when he says that our silver money and all other forms of money are not receivable in England at the value we put upon it, because we receive it and they can send It back on the steamer at a trifling costa and can use it in payment instead of gold. They can present silver certificates and. we receive them the same as gold in payment of duties and otherwise.

If we refuse to receive them on the parity with all other money, would at once be on the standard of FORMOSAN REPUBLIC. Hong Kong Correspondent Says the ment for Independence is Not a Popular 008.
