June 27. At the Chicago cage Northwestern headquarters in this city was received yesterday the first direct news from the scene of the Hoods on the Maple river branch of the road. The dispatch is from the 1 operator at Moville and says that the town is almost wiped out the water is running in at the depot windows and is up to the ceilings of all the build- ings. All the houses in flat portions of the town have been swept away and the railroad turntable is washed from its place. Three miles of track are gone between Moville arid Kingsley also most of the small bridges and the bridge over the Sioux river.

This destruction is now being sup- piemen ed by another storrn raging at present in the same vicinity and extending tending south to the main iine of the Northwestern. It is raining very hard and the storm is traveling. i Cherokee is still isolated from railroad and telegraphic communication with tiie rest of the world. An Jili- nois Central conductor who returned today from the scene of desolation reports damage and loss of properly live stock growing crous and personal lipsscs of the unfortunate people who li ivcd in the track of the storm as almost most iicredibie. The coiuury from Storm Lake to Cherokee Wednesday was one vast sea of water.

Merchants in every town between the two points suffered great loss from floods to say nothing of un- tojd damage to crops and live stock. Of seventy-five to one hundred houses washed on the bottom at Cherokee most of them were homes of laboring men. These people lost everything barely escaping with their lives. Hundreds of animals were seen in the river floating past Cherokee Wednesday. Qoi-ses ned to fragments of their' wrecked darn were also seen some dead and others drowning.

Hundreds of cattle hogs and chickens followed each o'lher al sho'rt fnTervaTs. One farmer livingVouth of Cherokee said that over two hundred head of cattle we're missing from his pasture and he supposed all were lost. A man named Yaugh. an importer of draft horses at Cherokee lost eight fine ani mals. The Little Sioux valley Irom Cherokee to Onawa is one of the largest stock raising sections in Iowa and when the water subsides and a careful survey of the desolated district can be maoe the loss will be found to be uu- paiiing.

The Illinois Central is also a heavy loser. Superintendent Giileas says that $200.000 would not repair the i damage already in sight and investigations tions have not been pursued further than five miles on the south branch ol the Cherokee Dakota division the north is still inaccessible. The company pany has a force of 200 men at woric at the bridge at Cherokee and it is expected a temporary structure will be ready for use by Sunday. Four DOUGE la. June 27.

The latest advices from Cherokee say the damage by the flood is greater than at first reported. As the waters recede the carcasses of cattle are exposed and the stench from the same permeates the air. It is estimated that hundreds of head of stock were lost there. Two miles i track of the main line of the Illinois Central between Cherokee and Sioux City are washed out and it will take about a week to repair the dam- age. The Onawa and bicux Fails branches of the same road are in i worse condition.

The wires over both branches are stiil broken and authentic reports of loss of life have not been i received. While the Sioux river is going down it is siili forty feet deep. The work of clearing away the debris is now in progress and aid is being given the unfortunates at Moviile who are camping out. An eye witness of Tuesday's flood. who has just arrived from Cherokee states that it is necessary for one to see tg have the least idea of the great amount of damage done.

Why he exclaimed "it is simply and terribly wonderful the way that the immense body of water swept things before it. Houses were but bubbleon its crest. I was at Cherokee kee when the cloudburst came and in less time than it takes to tell it a flood was upon the town. Houses were seen to tremble swing half around and be carried along by the torrents. Trees were bent and broken like reeds and not a thing could stop the terrific onward rush of the water and all this occurred before the people could pos- sibiy realize what had happened.

The most remarkable feature of the disaster is that any one in the track of the flood escaped with their lives. As far as I know no lives were lost at Cherokee and the immediate vicinity. The storm rendered between three hundred and four hundred families homeless in and about Cherokee. They are being cared for in the Masonic. Grand Army of the Republic and Knights of Pythias hails at Cherokee.

The Illinois Central lost 12.777 feet cf roadbed and 987 feet of piling. This does not include the bridge taken out over the Sioux river. The amount of damage will reach $250,000. Pleaded. Dns Mo INKS la.

Further experiments were made by Colonel Dyer for the department of agriculture on the outskirts of Washington in testing the feasibility of exploding a boiloon charged with gas at a considerable height in the air with the object of discovering the practicability of exploding dynamite in a like manner and its eiVecl in producing rain incase of drouth. Three balloons about twelve feet in diameter charged with two parts of hydrogen and one of oxygen were exploded at an elevation of about twelve hundred feet. The tests were considered a success. TrU-IiIuar In the Pork. CHICAGO June 27.

Trichinae have been found in the meat of hogs killed at the stock yards by Prof. Michels and his corps of trained microscopists who are making the federal inspection of pork in the big rooms of the Xelson Morris building on Halted street. Speaking on the subject of his discoveries Prof. Michels saidj "TlTree days of inspection of pork 1 under the microscope has revealed more trichinae than I expected to find. I do not care to inform the press of the number of hogs we have found to be infected as it might cause alarm.

We have found the parasite in Chicago cage pork and wherever it has been discovered the meat of the hog has been destroyed. Seven hundred more hogs will be inspected today. Prof. Michels said that the safest way for the housewife to guard against the deadly little animal is to cook pork through and through. Meantime he will do best to lessen the danger which yes terday's examination revealed.

Considered by the Cabinet. WASHINGTON June 29. The cabinet meeting to consider financial questions was attended by Secretaries Foster Tracy Xoble Rusk and Postmaster General Waunamaker. Secretaries Blaine and Proctor and Attorney General Miller were not present and thoil- departments were not represented. The questions discussed were the continued coinage of silver the extension of the 4i per cent bonds and the change in the form of the assets and liability statement.

Secretary Foster made the following1 statement as to the result of the meeting1 affecting1 the coinage of silver After a full and careful consideration of the law re- luting1 to the coinage of silver Secretary Foster finds that the act of March 1891 requires "that the secretary of the treasury shall as soon as practicable coin the trade dollar bars into silver dollars. lie also tinds that $150,000 has been appropriated for the recoinage of subsidiary silver coin into such denominations as will best serve to give it circulation. There is a constant demand for small coin principally dimes which the mints have not been able to supply. The secretary of the treasury has decided that his first duty in this matter is to obey the uirectiou of congress. Congress has ordered the coinage of the trade dollar into standard silver doi'ars.

The coinage of the trade dollar lar bars in this manner will transform what cost 5,087,795 into 5.146,2S1 standard dollars. The secretary iinds that it will require perhaps four months to perform the wonc of coining the trade dollar bars into sandard do-i- lars and rccoining the subsidiary silver therefore the question of the continued coinage of silver dollars as heretofore is not a practical one at present. The cabinet also decided to change the form of the asset and liability statements issued from the treasurer's office daily and at the beginning of each montn. In the new form of statements the net surplus will disappear and only an available cash balance will be carried. Other changes of a minor character will be made but what they will be has not as yet been decided by Secretary Foster.

In a general way the new form of statement both of the debt and asset and liabilities' will closely resemble the statements put out when Senator bher- man was secretary of the treasury. These changes go into effect the 1st of the beginning of the next iiscai year. The extension of the 4 pel- cent bonds was not considered at this meeting but will probably come up at next Tuesday's session. The general impression prevails in official circles that the action of the cabinet postpones the continued coinage of silver for the present. Jn lien thereof trade dollar bullion will bo coined in an amount equal to the monthly coinage by the treasury during the'present liscal year which has been at the rate of about 2,000.000 ounces of silver per month.

A terrib.e accident occurred near here yesterday morning on the Lincoln Black Hills line of the Burlington about two and a half miles west of the city. As near as can be told the accident occurred ut 5 o'clock and was caused by the heavy rain of last night washing out a small culvert into which a train crashed at a speed of eighteen miles an hour.

Delaney laney engineer and Oscar W. Bean fireman came thundering along and plunged into the hole. Whether Delaney laney haw the hole and tried to stop or whether the accident came without warning will probably always remain a mystery for the engineer was killed and the fireman is unconscious and dying. The engine plunged into the abyss and twenty-three cars arc piied up in indescribable confusion. Beneath the mass of broken cars lie the bodies of the engineer and fireman and W.

Men. were also sent out from Yorlc to aid in rescuing the men imprisoned beneath the engine and cars and at 9:40 Fireman Bean was found alive beneath the ten der.

He was almost insensible from pain the heavy iron rim having completely severed the left leg below the knee. The tender was jacked up and iBean was taken out and given over to the doctors in attendance. It is not likely that he can recover as the shock was a terrible one. At the bodies of the engine crew had not been reached. Bean is a married man and 2ived at 1007 street.

Lincoln. Moore is also married and lives in Lincoln and Delaney is a tingle man. Telaney is a member of the Knights of Pythias and a delegation of that order came down with the wrecking train to take charge of the remains. Fireman Bean is said to have taken on" his blouse wrapped up his wounded limb used his suspenders as a compress to stop the How of blood and crawled out of the wreck. A man traveling with a horse had a miraculous escape.

The car that contained himself and horse was thrown about 100 feet and lay on its tide in the bed of the creek. Strange to say the man escaped with a slight sprain and the horse did not get a scratch. The scene beggars description. The washout is from twenty to thirty feet deep and 200 to 300 feet long. The engine phot into this abyss and twenty-two loaded cars were piled on and around it in every conceivable bhaue completely burying it from sight.

The friends of Colonel Wood have written that he was assassinated and declare that the reports sent out I by the correspondents were previously submitted to the faction to which the murderer belonged and approved.

The i most complete detail of the killing is given in a letter written to A. N. Mackey of this partner of the murdered man.

Wood ran and Brennan shot him in the back of the head. Still Wood did not fall but turned around and Brennan shot him under the right eye.

The letter further says thing i points to premeditation on the part of Brennan as he stood bhenli" Cann otT and surrendered only to the sheriffs of Stanton and Morton counties who had been in town all night by an arrangement ment with somebody.5 When the letter was received Mr. Mackey visited the governor and in- 'sisted on the attorney general being sent to Stevens county to prosecute the case.
