Bradlaugh has been re-elected to Parliament by the largest majority ever given him. A London news agency publishes a communication stilting- that naturalized American citizens returning to Gormany are subjected to military service, and that Bismarck entirely ignores Minister Sargont, sending all his stato papers direct to Washington, Tho Official Gazette of the Berlin Court publishes the order of Bismnrck instructing Von Eisemlcobor to return tho American House of Representatives Its resolution expressing the friendly sorrow of America for tho doath of Hcrr Laskcr while visit tug this country. Tho German ChnnooUor's grounds for thus insulting America are, that tho resolution of condolence contained an opinion regarding tho object and effect of Hcrr leaker's "political activity" (career), which opinion was opporod to Bismarck's convictions. Bismarck therefore refused to ask the permission of the Emperor to transmit to its proper destination the nils' sivo of the House of representatives, to tho Iteichstag, because, had the Prince so prayed, he would have been forced offloially to advocate an opinion he did not believe to bo correct, Tho action of Bismarck, says a Berlin dispatch, continues to oxeitc much comment. The friends of the deceased statesman in tho Reichstag propose to demand of Bismarok an explanation of his conduct. In the English Parliament John O'Connor Power delivered a long harangue attacking the best of his own countrymen, including Parncll. For this wordy and solfconoeited speech he obtained tho sorry reward of being- patronized by Mr. Justin McCarthy as "a repentant rebel."

mSCTET.T.ATIXOTJS. On the 10th day of last J&unary the House of Representatives at Washington unanimously adopted the following resolution, which was introduced by Mr. Ochiltree of Texas: Reached, That this House has heard with deep regret ef the death of the eminent German statesman, Ednard Leaker. 3. That his loss is not alone to be mourned by tbe people of his native land, where his firm and constant exposition of and devotion to free and liberal ideas have materially advanced the social, political, and economic condition of those peoples, but by the lovers of liberty throughout the world. a. That a copy of these resolutions be forwarded to the family of the deceased as well as to the Minister of the United States resident at the capital of the German Empire to be by him

commtmfcated through the legitimate channel to the presiding officer of the legislative body of which he was a member. These reaolntions have been returned by Prince Bismarok to the German Minister at Washington, with a counter request that he return them to the American Congress, as the position of Lasher in Germany was not such as to justify the resolution. Bismarck claims that a "high political prinelple" formed the basis of his action in this matter. The London Times, commenting upon the insolence of the German autocrat, says: "One thing is certain. We have not heard tho last of the Laskor incident. Tbe Americans are much too proud, too Sensitive, and too independent for that-" It is believed at Washington that, unless the Stato Department chooses to pursue a course of pusillanimity that shall oovor the American name with disgrace the world over, this matter will lead to grave international complications. Sorthexn Georgia and sections of Alabama were last week; ravaged by a destructive tornado. The town of Amberson, Ala., was almost entirely demolished, six persons killed, and a number wounded. At Care Spring, Ala., great loss of life Is reported. At Lead Station, 6tw, nearly every house was destroyed and Ave people killed. One thousand houses in Floyd County, Georgia, were razed to the ground. A heavy rainstorm wrecked the dam at Los Angeles, CaL, flooding the town and washing away forty buildings. Hundreds of families were compelled to move. Miles of the Southern Pacific and California Southern Bail roads were washed away, and travel in all directions suspended. The greatest floods ever known are reported in the tower section of the St. Joaquin Valley. A hurricane at Coshocton, Ohio, demolished tbe steel works and destroyed other buildings and trees. The damage in the surrounding section is expected to be heavy. A dispatch from Bismarok says four Dakota stage coaches are missing, and it is feared that the passengers, drivers, and horses perished in the recent blizzard. Sections of Illinois, Wlsconsin, and Iowa were visited by tbe northern terror, creating heavy snow drifts and retarding travel.

A COAL-MINE HORROB.

Explosion of Fire-Damp in a CoalMine at West Lclsenrlngr, l'cniiHyivunlai

Nineteen lien Killed Out of a Total of Seventy in the Mine at the Time,

(Telegram from TJulontown, Pa.J The little mining villago of west Lelftenrlng-, four roilos north of hera, ws this morning the scene of tho most terriOo explosion ever known iu tho coke region. Tho CohnCllBvillS Coal and Iron Company, of which Judge Lolsenrlng of Mauch Chunk, Is President, have 200 coko ovens here whloh have been In operation about a 3-car. The works give employment to about 0110 hundred iricn, and quito a little town has sprung up nauied after tho President of tho company. Tho coal for tho ovens is obtained ly means of a shaft, whioh reaches tho coal at 11 distance of 400 feet from tho surface. This morning a part of tho force who bad worked all night loft tho mines a Utile after 9 o'clock, and eovonty othors took their places, making tho usual morning shift. About 6.80 o'clock, while the men were digging, suddenly, without warning, there occurred an explosion that convulsed the mine in every apartment and throw tho men into tho utmost consternation. Tho scone of the explosion was in one of tho apartments, fully 800 feet distant from tho bottom of tho shaft, nnd thoroforo about 1,200 foot from tho surface opening, yet tho report was board on tho outside for a considerable distance, and caused such a Jar that tho lop of a derrick 100 foot high was knocked off. Two mules were standing at tho bottom of tho shaft, MK) foot from tho explosion, and the rush of air blow one of them throngh a wooden cage, shattering it to pieces. Tho other inulo diod of suffocation. The awful sceno that ensued among the terror-stricken minors cannot be described. All of thoir lamps were lilo-vn out, and they were loft in darkness and confusion. They had nut time to recover from tho shock before, thoy found themselves unable to breathe. The explosion of the tiro damp a term which the minors apply to the Tight carbonated hydrogen or coal-gas that issues from tho crevices in the most of the mines left the niino filled with after damn, which contains no oxygon and renders it Impossible for life to bo sustained for any time. Tills after-damp was densest in the upper part of the mine, and tho men hovered near the bottom, but ovoa there they did not long llnd reliof. Of nil the men who were in the heading whore the explosion occurred, Diok llalsioy alono escaped to tell tho awful story. Whoa the explosion came, and all the lights woro blown out, Hnlsloy was just changing his clothes. He at once wound part of his clo-.hes tightly around his face and mouth to keon tho

foul air from choking liim, ami gavo tho rest of his garments to a companion with instructions to ttko tho sumo precnutions. Ho then started for the main entrance, bidding his companion follow. They ran over tho bodies of men, and over shattered wagons. They could see nothing, but could hear tho groans of dying men. Presently Bulsley's companion protested that they were cot going in tho right direction, and turnod back. Ho perished, llalsioy pushed on until finally he saw a light, and was taken out. His escape is regarded by experienced miners as ono of tho most marvelous on record. Ho says that some men kept thoir beads under water as long as they could, nnd were forced to cbango from water to after-damp, and at last they gavo up the unequal struggle. When the news of the explosion Hashed around, the families of the men gathered about the shaft, ami were crazy with suspense. Bulsley's story gave them little ground for hope that any could bo got out alive. So dangerous was the after-damp that it was fully two hours beforo any volunteers could enter tho mine. Many wore on band ready to make tho search, but wero unablo to do so until the hope of rescuing tho unfortunates alive had quito lied. It was about 8 o'clock when the first body was brought out. It was that of Michael Kipko, a Hungarian, whose wife and two little children woro waiting and weeping at the shaft. The faco bore no marks of violence, and tho man hnd evidently died of suffocation. Tho work of rescuing tho men wont on rapidly by willing volunteer?, and at noon nineteen bodies bad been carried out. The company's books wero then examined, tho roll called, and It was announced that all tho men had been accounted for. Work proceeded In quiet and ordor amid the sobs and subdued weeping of the stricken families. Tho bodies wero taken to tho homes near by and laid out. Coroner Batton, of this place, with many citizens, went from here, and tho inquest began at 3:30 o'clock. No testimony was taken except that which identified the dead, nineteen la number. Host of the dead bore no visible marks of violence, but had died of suffocation. Their faces wero genorally very black, smoko and dust having boon blown into the skin. Tho last man taken out alivo was Henry Wilson, who had managed to subsist on tho air In tbs very bottom of tho mine till rescued. Ho was almost gone. Many of those who wore in other rarts of tho mine snfforod sovoroly. Dick Balsloy reports that tho men acted

much like horses In a burning stable. Thoy wero I ewildered, and, not knowing which way to go, refused to move in any direction. Some of them wore so burned that the flesh dropped off them In places whon removed. The scene at tho atOictod homes to-night Is hoartrending beyond description. In Hackney's houso Ho two corpse, himself and May. In the houso of the Hungarian, Kipko, is perhaps the saddest sight of nil. This family seem advanced far beyond their average countrymen in civilization, and their homo was cheerful and attractive. The dead husband nnd father lies upon a bed: his weeping wife sits at his head kissing- and caressing him, while two little children stand by and call him in vain. After Identifying the bodies Coroner Batton adjourned tbo inquest until Saturday morning. Tho company will bear all tho expense of the funerals, which will toko place to-morrow and next day. The accumulation of so much gas la this mino as to cause such an explosion is a matter of much surprise. No accident ever beforo occurred here, and it was regarded as a very safe mine. The flro boss, with a lamp, mado tho usual examination last night, . and pronounced everything all right. Mon bs1 left other mines that wero regarded as unsafe and come here to work because there was no danger felt.

HOW THE FLOODS CAME.

FIUHT WITH INDIAX8.

Four Savages and Two White Hen Killed at Hailstone, Montana. A dispatch from Billings, Montana, says five Plegan Indians mado a raid from their reservation, crossed the Yellowstone at Clark's Fork Hirer to tho Crow Hetervation, and stole flfty-threo ponies from Plenty Cove, a Crow chief. They ran off those ionics and plokod up a number more belonging to white men near Park City. Plenty Coves and three other Crows, accompanied by Joseph Gate, Chancoy Ames, Philip Bidle, Loo M. Owens, and three other white men, pursued and overhauled them at Hailstono Hasin, near Painted Robo llivor, forty miles northwest of Hillings. A fight ensued, in which Chancoy Ames and Joseph Gato wero killed and Owens and Sldlo wounded. Four of tho Picgans were killed. The fifth was wounded, but escaped. The horses were recaptured. Tho bodies of Owens and Gnto wore packed back to Park City to-day. Moth wero well-to-do ranchmen. Gato was a single man, and Ames leaves a wife and three children. JUDGE GRESHAM

Within a day or two tho Indiana delegation has signed a paper formally presenting the iinmc of tho Postmaster Genorai to tho President for this position. They did not do this until ihoy ascertained that Gresham would not only bo willing but would bo glad to accept the place. Ono of the Indiana Congressmen, who has been aotlvo in proparing this potition, has said that there was no longer aquestion that Judge Gresham would accopt it. "He will be plod to got it," ho faid. This, unquestionably, settles tho caso as to tho candidacy or Gresham, and it would seem to sortie tho result, for tho supporters of the other candidates in Illinois, and Wisconsin have admitted I hat if (ircsliam was a candidate it would not be wise to make a contest, ALL SORTS.

A Review of the Fearful Deluge from Its Inception to Its Climax

Started lijr a Warm Spell, the Waters Destroyed Millions of Properly and Canned Awful Suffering.

Travelers on tho mountatu roads of West, eru Pennsylvania halted at tho first inn on Monday evening, Feb. 4, to avoid oxposnro td a misty rainfall. Two days beforo tho temperature had risen to a jioint among the 504: A soft wind came from the north and bad brought lowering clouds that hung Just above the taller trees on the mountains. Tiny streams Cfept out Irom under the snow and trickled over the road, down through tho gulleys, growing larger, and swifter, and fiercer as thoy went, Tho oaves of tho old inns wero busied all of that night carrying away the rainlull that grow iu its volume until in tho morning the traveler regretted that he had stopped. Tbo thaa-ihg snow-water flowed across the roads In larger streams, tho black earth was showing boncuth tho hemlock, and tho paths woro covered with slipiiory ice. It was many hours until the slightest change occurred in tho situation. Then tho wind veered to the cast and increased the rainfall. The temperature rose still higher, and the snow dlf apiK-ni-ed from tho ledges to join tho torrent of mad waters that rolled down every mountain side Into the valloys of tho Allegheny and Moiiongnhcla ICivcrs. At Pittsburgh, Wheeling, nud all tho lesser points as far south as Purkorsburg, tho water gauges marked a rise of 10 Inches an hour, and rivermeu predicted tho greatest flood that hud been known for years. Traffic was soon abandoned over tho Mclveesport 'and Youghiogheny Hailroad, and tho Iake Erio line reached its Pittsburgh termination only by passing over flooded tracks. Other linos were delayed, and the Uaitimore and Ohio reported numerous washouts north of Connolisrille. The low land on the south sido of Pittsburgh was soon submerged, and tho people, abandoning their homes, sought shelter in tho churches and public halls of tho city. Tho loo became gorgod at West Newton, in the Allegany iilver, and, after massing for four days, was broken by the backwater. It was impelled with great fori o down the stream, and swept everything before it, leaving in its course on the hunks a miscellaneous mass of dismantled houses, furniture, lo'-f, hay, and dead animals. The gorgo reformed at McKeesport and blocked tho How of water. The mountain streams grew lu turgidlty, and tho Monongahela was filling the hanks of the Ohio when tho gorgo broko again, and when Wheeling awoke on the morning of Felt, 6 tho wator gauges indit atcd a level of 38 feet. One-hatC of tho city was submerged, and thousands of )eoplo Hod from their homes to tho higher ground. Tho river rose at tho rate of a foot an hour until 8 p. in., when tbe gauges indicated 41 foot 9 inchos. The rise continued until Feb. 7, whon S3 feet, tho highest point, was attained. In tho meantime. Wheeling Island, with a population of 4,500, had boon surrendered to the waters, and the people who were rescued in boats were being fed In churches and public balls by tbo relief committees. Messages burdened with pitiful stories of disasters to property and life came from Iiellatro, Bridgeport, West Wheeling, Martin's Ferry, Fulton, Wellsburgh, llenwood, Monndsvilio, and many small hamlets, showing that within a radius of fifteen miles thero wore 20,000 homeless people, whoso losses aggregate many mlllionsof dollars. Pome ot

tho places wero wholly under water, and in West Wheeling not a houso could be in

habited. Tho river had swollen from 000 feet

to a milo and a quarter and whirled violently along a mass of debris, among which tho ap

pearance of water was onlr incidental. In

Wheeling many streets eon :alnlng the finest

rosldenccs wore navigable by steamboats, and through them eoursod s constant flow of driftwood, at the rate of five miles nn hour.

Tbosulleiing became greater than tho peo

ple could alleviate, and at a mass meeting in Wheeling Congress was asked to give a relief fund of $l,000.l:00. The people claim to havo tho assurance of their Congressional delega

tion that they will get S500,0u0. Four days

alter the disasters at I'ittsliurah and Wheel

ing, the river nt mined fifty-four feet. Its

highest I'O-nt, at rurkersburg, but receded before much damage had been done. In the meantime a constant rainfall was melting tho snow throughout tho Hito Valley and sending torrents of water into the tribuutary stroauis, so that the river at Cincinnati had risen on Feb. 0 to 61 foot and was still

coming up at the rate of 4 inches an hour.

Tbe lovce was submerged, and then the wator line began to creep up the bill. Business men ta tho lower street carried their goods to the high stories of their buildings, and the I eoplo who lived between S -eond street and tho river plied thoir household goods on high ground where the men took turns at stand

ing in the rain to guard them from piracy. Tho families found shelter in

tho churches and public halls. On rob.

tho rain had ceased and tho river was

stationary, but it was flowing through that part of tho city below Second street and at points reached Eighth street, being within 600 feet of tho liurnct Houso. 'l ho suspension bridge was reached by boats, the gas burned dimly in the streots the people were warned to use but little water, relief committees wont to work, and tho City Comp

troller was nutnon.cfi ty tno Legislature to borrow J5u,0y(l for the relief of the iieoitlo.

On the morning of Feb. 8 Hip outlook was

less hopeful. At Pittsburgh tho river was rait

ing, but it was coming up from I'arkorsburg

and below at tnc rate or ua't an inch an hour. Tho waterworks wero Hooded and stopped with a supply of five days for domestic uso; Newport and Covington oalled for aid; tho militia was nut on police dutv. and reliof

boats plied through the Hooded parts, visiting

tnose wno wore imprisoned lu tne upper stories of their homes. On the 10th tho Hood of 18K3 was surpassed, and the gas went out, leaving the city at tho inercy of thieves and flro. Tho ftgnul tkrvico had given two warnings of the approach of a cold wave, which never cume. People returned to lho uso of candles, and tho Bee Lino lioad, ono of tho last to hold out, was forced to stop at the stock yards, three miles out of tho city. On tho next day tho Bee Lino and Payton roads were abandoned, and the city was loft to depend on the Cincinnati Korihcrn, which b lng a narrow gau.-e, could not grant the courtesy of its tracks to other linos. The climax was attained Feb. 15, when tho gauges indicated upward of foot of water. The river then came up to Toarl street on Vino, and was running through the second story of nil the First street houses. The loss of proiierty at Cincinnati, Is Immense. Tho foundations of many briok buildings wore sapped by the treacherous wasers, causing them to tumble to pieces. In one instance a boarding houso tumbled down and ton of the inmates were crushed to dcaih. A dispatch from that city says that although the worst and most annoying features of tho flood aro almost over, yet tho auflering of tho poor and the distressed will lasi for weeks. Tbopcop'o uho hare lost thoir all will not lecovcr from their losstsfor a long time, and tho real u"cring u ill not begin until tho waters recede and the refugees return to their ruined homes and cheerless firesides. The damage in Mill Crt ok bottoms, among tho manufactory and distillorles, is immense, and beyond what was expeetod. In Newport a frightful picture or destruction is made visible as tho water recedes. Po terrible, indeed, is tho wreck that many who once possessed a little home turn away in despair and becomo almost frantic at the sight, destruction, ruin, and debris moet the eye everywhere." The river towns that aro suburban to Cincinnati suffered a great loss. Lawroneoliurg, Ind., is (.no of these. It stands at tho buso of the bills at the j unci ion of the Miami and Ohio rivers. Us buildings aro low and aro built on ground of about ono level, lho losses It experiences aro greater than thoy would be if thero was a p'aco for relief. Tho water In lho river roso as it did at Cincinnati. 1 ho people began to move out of tho houses closest to the river, on Feb. fi, and n few families located In tho upper stories of tho Court House, where they found sheltor last year, and wero cared for by bouts which rowed lo lho si-cond-story windows. On Feb. 8 tho streets wore atloat, and lndlanuiolls had bc?n called on to keep the pcoplo from starving. Tbo waters were higher than in the i:ohI of 1W3. tin Fob. 7 the Miami loveo broke and tho river surged through tho city, washing away many houses. For many days tho changes wore only for the worse. Donsn fogs hovorod over tho liltlo city, and channels woro cut through the streets, taking away many adjacent houses. Tho people moved into cabins und improvised houses on tbe bill-tp?. A Inndslido cut oil the railroad npproaehes, nnd tho nearest point where relief could bo sent in large (unntiiiuoj was si v miles distant. II o conveyed from thoro to the jiooplo by means of wagons. It is computed that the losses at Lawrenceburg are not less than $5iKi,fiiHi. A torrospondent thus deiilets the scene ol' des-ilation wrought by the ie'eulles waters in tho illfated liltlo city: Tho waters aro slowly but surely re Tdlug, and the pcoplo of Lawrence burg feel that their trials and sufferings havo rrairhod a ciimnx , and that a brightor day is dawning, though as tho muddy waves sink their moutiments of wreck and ruin rise In all their terrible gliastllness, rovenllng a picture of desolation mid wo that brings grief to tho stoutest heart and tears to eyes unused to weoplni.1-. Words fail to paint the si-cue that the ell i en of Lawroneoliurg beholds to-day as he ft-inds uoii tho small patch of ground left by the failing water and looks out upon the lit tie water-wrecked, desolate city, only a few days sinoo beautiful, peacoful, and ipiiot, the home, the pride, and boast of hor people. But now hor once beautiful streets are muddy streams. The poor man's llttlo house Is gono, tho vine-clad cotttt!0, with its )K)ich anil lattice-work, is wrecked, and tho more oleuuut and imposing I

homes of brick, paint, and fences aro rooking with sliioo and mud. In Lawroneoburg tho wheels of hor manufactories art silent, and tho wator glories in its triumph as it cobs and flows ovor and through hor desortod and desolat buildings. As tho water gives way tho oxtont of th damago can bo moro accurately ascertained. Tho city will suffer much by reason of the bbstruction of hor lovoes and tho damago to her Blrcb'ts ami sidewalks, while tho loss to Individual oitizons can hardly bo estimated. Probably half a million dollafs wtniia not more than roplaco Lawrencoburg and her citizens as she was beforo the flood. Tho rosl work of bor oitaouj, however, only begins as th witters leave In reclaiming thoir property, repairing slid rebuilding; and It will be days, and perhaps weeks; I eforo hlany dwellings can be occupied." ... . Madison, Ind., anticipated the flood by having tho 'ower portion of the city abandoned whon tho Wheeling disasters wero reported. Ttio felly partially built on a great hill, and it had ample aceoiiiiuodation for the people wliosc places were under water. The dominie lo pm4rty will be gn at. A large nUinbcrof factories stand clr so by tho river, and wero full of water to tho second stories. A hamlet across tho river in Kentucky was ontlroly liilder water, and its inlinliitanls climbed tho hill arid wen! back Into the country to dlsperso among the fanners. Louisville, Ky., nnd JolTcrsonvilie And New Albany, Ind., are In close proximity. Oil Feb. 6, after a rainfall of several hours, tho river showed a remarkable tendency to nso, and lho inhabitants of the low districts moved back Into the sate porilous of the citi'.'S. On Feb. the river was nearly forfy foot ovor high-water mark, and waR rising at the fato of four inches an hour. In Louisville tho river front from Third to Fourteenth streets was submerged nnd the' houses wero entirely hidden between the point, and Shipplngsport, 400 families being driven from their homes. In tho southeastern district many houses were abandoned on account of back water from Bear Grass Creek. Oli Feb. T the canal cut-off gavo way and the current ran across tbo point at a depth of twenty foet. Tho river continued to rise until tho greatest hoight ovor known lit foot-had been attained. Tho damago in Louisvillo was comparatively light, as all the occupants of the lowlands moved out before lho waters attacked them. In Joffersonvlllo and New Albany It is estlmatod at two cr three times greater than Inst year. Next to Lawrencoburg, Ind., the town suffering tho greatest damage was probably Shawncetown, III. It is situated between a bluff and tho rivor, and on three sides is protected by levees. Whon tho river began to rise tho people liccauio terror-stricken, and many abandoned their homes, after placing thoir goods in tho higher storiosof thoir houses. On Feb. 10 tho river had reached a point where it threatened to break the embankment and wash away the city. A foroo of U00 men and two railroad locomotives woro put to work, hauling dirt from the hills to strengthen the levco, and for a time it seemed that their work would bo successful, but tho embankment gavo way and in a brief time there was a depth of wator from 5 to 15 feet all over tho town. The people who got out of their houses moved In tho country or camped on lho hillsides. Last year's losses were so great that many of them woro too poor to got away or to supply themselves with ordinary comforts. The suffering among them is mado very intense by the present cold weather. Tho reports gonerally show that under similar circumstances tho losses this year will not be so great as lust, because the people have been taught to anticipate and overcome many features ot tho disasters. Perishable property was gonerally transported to places of safety In time to f avo it, and houses wero provided to prevent much of the suffering that was undergono a year ago. Tho distress, howet'or. Is beyond tbo comprehension of those who havo not seen It. At a number of places relief boats woro fired into by the distressed oitlaens to provent them approaching places of rescue that woro tottering. Tho wave made by the boats wero disastrous to undermined buildings, and no boat larger than a ski If was allowed to distribute tbo relief supplies. The figures which indicate the height of water In the Ohio are not a measure of its volume. At Cincinnati, for instance, zero is located on the surface of Four-Mile bar, north of the city, and again at Hising Sun bar, abreast or tho Indiana Stato line. It is situated on these shoal places to give rivor pilots tho advantage of a gcator avorago depth of water In tho rivor gonerally. Tho published depth is inaccurate to tho amount of tho depth of tho channel where tho water-gauge is iiiod. At Cincinnati this depth is 15 foot, which, if added to tbe published depth, makes the volume 8tt feot-

SCKNES ALONG THE KIVER. Towns Submerged, Houses Wrecked, and Immense Damage Done, "Tho sceno of wreck along tho lower Ohio is indescribable," said a gentleman who arrived at Now Albany by steamer from the Lower Ohio. 'I boardod tho boat at Cairo, where the river U bold out of tho town by loveos, and where no damage had yet been done.

relief boats wero sent on their way to help tho sulforlnar noonlo. A good many feared

the town would bo wipod out by tho time tho Hood reached its height. Between Shawnoetown and Mount Vernon, Ind., every small town on tho rivor -as submerged, and the peo-'

Ncwburgh was entirely submerged in tho low grounds, and fearful damago had been done. Rnternrise was nearly out of sight under tho
