HUNDREDS REDUCED TO POVERTY.

A *reut Opportunity for tho Charitable— o«U S«»ue* «f Devolution In tho Inundutnd Districts—AtlhlrH at

Sioux City.

is NKKDKn.

ST. LOUIS, May 23.—Gov. Fifer is seriously considering the issue of proclamation calling upon the people of Illinois generally to contribute to the relief of sufferers by Hood in that state. Thousands of such sufferers, including 8!0 at Hellcville and 2,500 at Alton, are not only in need of assistance for the present, but will in numerous cases be dependent upon others for weeks to coine, owing to loss of crops and homes, and in some instances the loss of their farming land, which was swept away by tl» flood. Gov. Fifer will immediately obtain a census of the sufferers in each county where they have taken refuge, in order to determine the exact number of persons who will bo burdens upon the various communities for some time to come and to form a systematic plan of relief in which the people throughout Illinois will probably be asked to cooperate.

A Scene of Desolntiou.

The Mississippi and Missouri valleys present a melancholy picture of ruin and devastation. For a distance of 15 miles above and below here the valley, to a width of from 4 to 15 miles, is one vast waste of muddy water. On every hand the roofs and upper stories of farmhouses stand as melancholy landmarks of what were once prosperous farmers' houses. Fences, barns and haystacks are gone, and the patient work ot years has been destroyed in a single week.

Hundreds of thousands of acres of well-tilled farms, two weeks ago rich in waving grain, are now under 10 feet of water or piled high with mud and driftwood. Their owners or tenants, driven to the upper stories of their farmhouses by the flood, were prisoners there without food to eat or fires to keep tliem warm, and did not dare close their eyes in sleep.

Many of the farmers, robbed of every other form of property, refused to leave their submerged farm houses when relief,came until their stock was placed in safety, alike from the flood and the cattle thieves and river pirates who like vultures prowled about to reap their harvest from the woes of others. From an upper story of one small house twenty seven persons were rescued, among them a man 81 years old, a woman (18 years, and an infant 9 (lavs old. In another six people half starved and freezing were found huddled together on one bed with a foot of water on the floor below them.

To add to the serious condition of the beleaguered people, sickness has overtaken them to an alarming extent. They have been living in improvised huts, tents and poorly constructed buildings and, as a result of exposure to the inclement weather of the past week, many families are suffering from pneuuiouia and other sickncss incidental to cold and wet weatlior.

Tho Work of Keller.

ALTON, 111., May 28.—For the last seven days the relief committeo has labored unceasingly. Its members dropped their business and gave themselves up to the work of the rescue. They have had at their disposal, freely 'lidered by their owners and captains, the ferryboat Altonia, the steam pleas-* ure yachts Ramble and Piasa, and for part of the time the St. Louis Post-Dis-patch boat Percy Swain,' together with forty-five skiffs tendered by Brance Dorsett, and several scows and flat boats.

The instant a boat load of sufferers steamed to the docks it was met by the relief committee, who opened their homes to the unfortunates and provided them with food, liut soon the homes were all filled,.and the V. M. C. A. gymnasium and parlors were thrown open as temporary quarters. Freight cars, barns, public halls, the city hall and all available shelters were turned into homes for the sufferers. Food and other clothing were freely given.

Much Aid Neeossary.

It is impossible to estimate even the immediate loss, but the most serious phase of the trouble is not so much the actual loss to the growing crop as the fact that the distressed farmers, without a cent ahead in the world and with no credit, will have to be supported by public benevolence until next year's crop is harvested, and many of them are ruined forever and will need generous help to place them on their feet again.

New Channels Out by the Itlver. Missouri point, a strip 15 miles long by 4 wide, on the Missouri side, between the two rivers, is completely submerged Tho great American bottoms, which extend for 90 miles south of here on the Illinois bank and have a width varying from 1 to 10 miles, are under 2 feet of water. This strip of land was famous for its fertility and almost every available foot of it was uuder cultivation. Four miles northwest ot here, at Portage, the Missouri has cut an immense channel into the Mississippi, and fears are entertained that this may be permanent. Another channel has been washed through a hall mile below here.

Ottumwa Under Water.

OTTUMWA, la., May 23.-«-The inundation at this point reached its maximum at 3 o'clock Sunday morning. The river is receding gradually, and all immediate danger Is averted for the present. While tho river was at its height the old and historlo ferry house was lifted from its foundation and carried down the torrent, landing against the Wabash railroad bridge. At the time the house contained valuable cows, several flue bred hogs, driven theie by the high waters, and much costly furniture. The property belonged to the liigliam estate. The loss

is $5,000. 6everal other smaller dwellings were loosened from their foundations and floated down stream. In South Ottumwa people are navigating the streets in*boats and all connection with the north side is cut off excepting by way of the Wabash railroad bridge. The losses as yet cannot be computed, but that they are heavy is evident. 8loux Oil)' Kerovcrlng.

Sioux CITV, la.. May 23.—With a few days' warm sunshine Sioux City will begin to feel herself again. Almost nothing ill the way of rebuilding homes can be attempted until the Hooded district becomes passably dry. At present mud reigns. Until Sunday it liasrained incessant', sinec the flood. Friday and Saturday were two days of blizzards, hail, sic-it and wind, retarding even the superficial salvage work. A general round-up of the situation places the dead at about twenty-five. Some more bodies are undoubtedly in the riiins.

Thousand* I.elt Homeless.

A careful estimate places the number of those rendered temporarily homeless by the flood at 8,000. The majority of these have found shelter with friends. The relief committee litis probaby 1.000 applications on file. The committee will accept outside aid, which has been generously offered from many quarters. Mayor Pierce and other leading citizens have favored the declination of outside aid, but at a public meeting on Friday night were induced to reverse their course.

Kiioriiiotm Property I.OHM.

It will take many weeks to restore order out of chaos in the flooded bottoms. The direct losses to property, while over 51,000,000 all told, are but a fraction of the total indirect losses by interrupted commerce. There is no kind of business but will feel the blow, and yet the people are hopeful, even buoyant.

Scenes of Denotation.

Viewed from any point, the Hooded districts are indescribably desolate. Houses arc lying on their sides and the debris of things movable is strewn over a surface of several square miles.. Fences, sidewalks and house supports form a general litter. Along the banks of the Floyd tons of earth have been torn away, showing the terrible force of the waters that swept the valley with fatal suddenness.

The Outlook for Crop*.

Sudden and overwhelming as was tho Sioux City flood, its property losses are small when compared with the general flood losses throughout the state and country. This ruin-soaked corn country is in danger of at le ist a partial failure of crops owing to the lateness of the planting season. The total damages to flismers, to the railroads and to the general business interests of the country will reach an enortnous total.

Bljr Crevasse Near New Orleans. NKW OHLKAXU, May 23.—Information has just renclied here that a crevasse has occurred at the Hester plantation, a few miles above the great Nita crevasse of 1800. It is now 40 feet wide and is increasing rapidly. The information received is meager, but it is almost impossible to close a crevasse at that point, and it is certain that the Illinois Central railroad will go under water. The loss will probably exceed 81,000,000. A number of valuable sugar plantations and perique tobacco farms will be overflowed for three months.

PAII) KOK HIS OlttMKS.

Mm.Bot'KN'K, May 23.—Deeming was hanged at 10:01 o'clock a. tn. Deeming passed Sunday in writing, calmly discussing at intervals bis approaching doom. He said he had no intention of making a speech on the scaffold. On Sundav night lie thrice swallowed eagerly a small allowance of spirits, after which he slept Roundly until ho was awakened at 7 o'clock this (Monday) morning. Then for the first time since his arrest the manacles on his wrists were removed and, smoking a cigar, he conversed with those around him. lie declared that he was resigned to his fate and had no fears ir regard to the future. To the governor of the prison he said he bad made his peace with God. He persisted in denying that lie was guilty of the Rain llill murders, lie had never, he control in 1' arrival in Australia. lie expressed gratitude to the governor and all the prison otlicials for the consideration they had shown him and also to Mr.

Lyle, his counsel, and to all concerned in his defense, lie said he thought he would not falter or make any scene on the scaffold.

Crowds Outgtde the l'rlson. A few moments before, the time set for the execution Deeming was allowed a glass of brandy, which lie swallowed at a gulp, and he was told that he might have more if the prison doctor so ordered. The doomed man was then led to the gallows and in a few moments all was over. The drop was 7 feet.

The execution was witnessed by a large gathering, including government and civil otlicials, magistrates, police and clergymen. There was an immense crowd outside the prison from an early hour in the morning until long after the execution was over. Order was maintained by a strong force of police.

Ill* Crimen.

With il».» execution of Deemiug there ended the life of one of tho greatest criminals the world has ever seen. At the beginning of March last the police at Liverpool received a dispatch from the jwlice at Melbourne suiting that the I murder'of a woman had just come to light at

Windsor, a suburb of Melbourne, and that from certain facts that hid been revealed wan thought that tho Windsor murderer had killed another woman at Kain Hill, a suburb of Liverpool. Tho police of tho latter place ut once

A Monster of Iniquity.

The police inquiries into Deeming's career soon revealed that he wusa monster of iniquity, guilty of nearly all, if not all, the crimes In the calendar. Numerous swindling transactions were traced to him, principally in mining lands. Detectives followed him to England, whore it was found ho was living ID Hirkonhcad. Deeming, however, hud evaded his pursuers, having left Birkenhead that moralng. The pursuit was continued, but Deeming always managed to evade his pursuers, In one instanco escaping by just seven minutes. Deeming later appeared in Liverpool under his alias of Williams. He paid addresses to a number of Liverpool ladies, among them one who, from hie conversation about the "Jack the Ripper" crimes, became terribly afraid of him. Oue night he had an engagement to take tea at her home, but he did not appear and she never saw him again. It was Just about this time that he appeared at Rain Hill, where his wife ind family subsequently joined him.

Next Married MUK Mather.

Shortly afterward Mrs. Deeming and the children disappeared, but as Deeming had represented the womau as his sfbter nothing was thought of their disappearance.' It was not long after this that he married Miss Mather and sailed for Australia. During their voyage he developed traits of thoughtfulness and consideration hardly In keeping with (he character of the inuo as seen in thc light of subsequent developments. He doctored thc sick and saved titbits from his table for the sick steerage passengers. Miss Mather relotes that In addition to his medical qualifications her husband was A skillful model* *r and that he tilled in a lot of his tlmo working at his models in their eabiu. riamicd to Kill His Hrlrit*.

The subsequent facts In connection with tho murder of the sc4md Mrs. Deeming are of too recent date to need detailed mention. After Deeming killed her he became engaged to a Miss Kate llounseville, who was on her way to the Southern Cross gold tields in west Australia to meet and marry him when she learned of his arrest for the murder of his former wife.

Ills Trial and Confession.

When he was taken to Melbourne he assumed a jovial and carclc.ss air, but at his trial he showed in his mannor the terrible mental strain ho was undergoing. After ho had been condemned to death he made a speech in court In which he confessed that he had killed his wife, Miss Mather. He appealed to the Victorian executive and to the Hritish privy council for a resplto, but both refused to interfere, and accordingly he has paid the full penalty of the law. Had he escaped justico in Australia he would havo been takeu to Utigland, where he would undoubtedly have beon hauged for tho Rain Hill murders.
