A FURIOUS 8TOUM.
Pmi.AITKMMIIa, .Tune 28.—A terrific Rtorm passed over eastern Pennsylvania Monday night and in many sections it assu iiu'il the proportions of a cloudburst. In Reading tlie streets were flooded, several houses were struck by lightning and a number of persons were more or less hurt. In the storm was the worst in years. Houses in all parts country were unroofed, wero struck by lightning least a score of head of live stock were killed. At Crum Lynnc a Carono train was struck by lightning while in motion. Baggage Muster William Lewis, of Chester, was rendered unconscious and will probably die. A newsboy, the only other occupant of the car, was knocked clown, but will recover.

T.oss of I.i!V Fenreil.
From messages received from all over the eastern part of the state it looks as though the damage to crops will le immense. There is a ruinor that half a dozen lives have been lost near Hamburg, Berks county, but it cannot be verified.
Frederick Howard, of Fifth and York streets, Philadelphia, and Miss Emma Lewis, of 8734 Haverford street, were out boating opposite tho city when tho storm raged. Their boat capsized. Howard helped the girl to get a hold upon the. upturned boat and then sank back exhausted and was drowned. Miss Lewis was saved. At Chester tho streets and cellars were flooded and a circus tent was blown down. This caused a panle, and half a dozen peoplo were hurt.
Tho Chicago Floods,
CHICAGO, June 28.—Looking o-itward from tho lake front Monday, many people commented upon the appearance of the harbor. From a line opposite Vau liuren street, stretching northward be yond the mouth of the river, was a forest of masts towering above the black hulls of vessels anxious to dock up the rivor. It was a scene which added to Chicago's appearances as lake port, but few people realized that during the few days' blockade shipping interests have lost more than 8500,000.
The Flood in the Suburbs.
Qrand Crossing still resembles Venice. Monday the flood was still rising at the. rate of half an inch an hour. Many families who had been shut in waded from their homes during the afternoon carrying away what household goods they could on rafts.
There was nothing madly rushing about the flood Monday. It had settled down calmly, as If it had come to stay until late In the fall. The tops of the willow trees which abound southwest of Grand Crossing are just above the surface of the water.
Hard on the Laboring Class. The flood is specially severe on the cottages of the laboring classes. Tlie people are reluctant to abandon their homes and leavo their household belongings behind. It is precarious business to transport furniture on rafts a distance of several blocks, and tliero is" nothing to make the rafts of anyhow.
Depth of tho Water.
At Dcbson avenue and Seventy-fifth street tho water is up even with tho floors of the stores. Horses drawing milk wagons and other conveyances through the street were in water up above their breasts. An express wagon started with a trunk up Greenwood avenue. At a depression in the road near .Sevemy-sixth street the wagon sunk down and the trunk floated awuy. At Greenwood avenue and Seventy-seventh street the water was said to be 4 inches higher than it was Sunday night. The deepest water in Grand Crossing is in the vicinity of Dobson avenue and Seventy-seventh street. The water over the entire length of Storm avenue Is fully 5 feet deep. The prairie west of Fordham has become a lake.
Still llising.
BURLINGTON, la., June 28.—The Mississippi is coming up steadily at the rate of half an inch an hour. Tho stage now is but 4 inches less than that of the big rise of 1888, which was the highest known since 1851. The present stage is 3 inches above the high-water mark of 1881. River men say the rise will continue for at least 0 inches further.
IK
The present stage
doing much dam
age along the water front. The Diamond Jo boathouse has been abandoned, with 5 feet of water in its office. The Burlington Boating association's club house has several inches of water on its first floor. The guests and the dancers there Monday nightwero ferried to tho door to gain, the entrance by means of an extemporized bridge. The mills of tho Burlington Lumber Company, the Cascade Lumber Company and the Burlington elevator have all been compelled to close down on account of the flooding of engine and store rooms. It has been necessary to anchor many piles of lumber ns well as several buildings along the wharf to keep them from floating away. The water has completely covered the mouth of the big city sc\ver and is backing the filth up into many basements along Valley street. Many merchants are busy removing their goods to higher ground. If a heavy rain should come now it would burst tho sewers all over the city, causing grout destruction.
Twenty Miles Wide.
The river above the city is 20 miles wide, having spread out over the lowlands of Iowa and Illinois to that extent. A boat can travel in 3 feet of water at any point between Kingston, la., and Gladstone, 111. The
high water is" hard, on M-he rail-

roads entering this city from the south and east. The Quincy and Carthage branch, over which the through trnins from St. Louis are now compelled to enter the city, has but 4 inches to spare above the present stago of water, and as the track is laid on a sand hill it is in danger of melting nway at any tlmo. AH trains have been abandoned on tho Galcua branch of the Burlington on account of high water and a washout between Gladstone and Rcithsburg, 111.
Farmers iu Trouble.
A farmer named West who owns 100 head of cattlo came to town Monday to secure the services of the steamer Pauline to rescue his stock from drowning. He reported that a large quantity of stock and many families on the lowlands in his neigl borliood were in danger. The Pauline with a crew of workers left for the scene at once and spent the night in transferring the unfortunates to higher ground.
At Other Points.
DAVENPORT, la., June 28.—The river continued to rise until noon Monday, but the water Is now slowly receding. During Sunday night the gas works were inundated and the supply of light from that source shut off. It will be several days before business can be resumed in the flooded districts.
ROCK ISLAKD. 111., June 28.—The flood of the last few days is the greatest ever known, a large portion of the city adjucent to the river having been iuundated. It is estimated that fully 200 families have been driven from their homes by the rising waters. Rock river is still ruging and tho wagon and ratload bridg.s are in dauger of being swept away. The town of Milan is situated in tho midst cf a sou. The water rushes through the streets in small rivers and in no part of the town is communication possible other than by means of boats. Monday morning James Post attempted to wado across the street near the river and was swept out into the rushing waters and was drowned, llis body has not been recovered.
WARSAW, 111., June as.—The Mississippi is now 4 inches higher than during the rise of May. There are thousands of dollars in growing wheat In the levoo district south of here saved from the previous high water now threatened with little hope of saving it. The levee situation is critical.

in Ituius—Revolutionists Driven Out hy Federalists.
VALPARAISO, June 28.—The Brazilian gunboats Camoein and Marjo, under command of Capt. Candido Dos Santos Lara, have arrived at Porto Alegre, The. purpose w:is to overawe the revo lutionists. After consultation with Gen. Silva Livades, who was in com mand of the federal military forces, it was decided to bombard the city.
When the heavy guns of the. warssliip began to drop shells into the doomed city there was the wildest panic. The revolutionary troops were quickly driven to shelter and tho inhabitants, as well as they could, hid themselves from the destruetiv missiles. Building after build ing was shattered by the heavy projectiles, and in a comparatively short time the city was in ruins. The parliamentary party made a triumphal entry into Porto Alegro, meeting with little or no resistance. The scene was a dreadful one. Tho town is in ruins and many dead people were found in the ruins and in the street.
Gen. Livades, at the. head of 5,000 federal troops, assisted by a naval brigade from the squadron under the command of Capt. Lara, is preparing for an attack on the Castilhistas, 0,000 in number, under Gens. Isadoro and Pinhero Machudo.
THE PEOPLE'S PARTY.
Pf^ltielunH T.noUlnff with Anxiety to tli© Result of Us Convention to Ite Held at Omaha Next Week.
CHICAGO, June 28.—The whole political world is astir to-day and everywhere the greatest interest and earnestness prevail. New York Washington, the silver states, and Chicago are central points of action. All eyes arc turned to Omaha in advance of the people's party convention, which meets there next Monday. In that gathering tho political leaders of both parties have discovered a new danger. It is fear.ed that a consolidation of the alliance forces, the people's party, and the free Silver men will be made strong enough to capture sufllcient electoral votes to throw tho election of president into the house of representatives, in which event the republicans would have no show, and the people's party might be found in possession of the balance of power. The democrats, therefore, as well as tho republicans have taken alarm.

A VILLAIN MEETS HEATH.
NEW YORK, June 28.—A big crowd of loungers who had eomo to enjoy the wild excitement of an arson trial saw murder done In the court of general sessions. In sight of the judge, the jury and the crowd, a young man, a cripple, said to be half-witted, shot down the man who had just pleaded guilty of assaulting his sister. He shot the prisoner from Ills perch among the spectators as two court officers led him to tho pen. His aim was true. The bullet struck the betrayer over tVo heart, and ho slipped from the grasp of the policemen almost before they realized what had happened and fell dying at their feet. In the wild confusion that followed a juror fainted. The judge hammered vainly on his desk calling for order. Up among the benches the policemen wero scrnmbling for the murderer, and before the body of his victim had censed to throb they had him on tho floor between them. Other policemen ran In from the hall and tho court-room was cleared.
An ambulance tvns sent for and doetors wero summoned. Before they came the man was dea(1. lie breathed his last, lying in the empty court-room almost at the door of the pen that had opened to receive him fifteen minutes before.
Story of tho Tragedy.
The man who was shot was Max Clcrget, 18 years old. Tho girl he had assaulted wa6 his sister-in-law, Sarah Divln, aged 15. The man who shot him dead was Edward Divin, Sarah's brother and his own brotlier-lu-luw. Edward Is a paralytic and not In his right mind. It was a tragedy of low life of the East side tenements. When Clcrget was brought Into court at 11 o. m. he pleaded guilty. Judge Martine remanded him for sentenco until Friday.
The court oflieers led the prisoner back toward tho pen past his victim, the girl he had ruined, and her sister past the dense crowd of spectators, who sat on the sloping tiers of seats craning their necks to seo him, though few of them had heard the charge or knew what it was about. Directly over the aisle sat Edward ltivin, the cripple. He had craned his neck forward to hear Clcrget plead. Now that he was being led toward him he settled himself back on his scat and followed his every step with burning eyes. Suddenly, as the prisoner and the policeman came directly in front of and below him. the cripple with a quick movement drew a pistol from his hip pocket, leveled it at the prisoner and fired. It was done so quickly that the movement was barely seen by anybody. There was a mo-, mcnt of breathless silence in the courtroom, then a heavy fall, hysterical cries, oaths, wild shouts on the scats, and bedlam. Through it the one intelligible sound was the steady stroke of Judge Martine's gavel as he hammered his desk with all his might. The victim lay gasping on tho floor and Divin watched him die. Divin wai then dragged from the court-room by a dozen men and turned over to policemen. lie was later held to await the action of the grnnd jury.
Tlie Murderer's lteason.
At the tombs Divin was taken to the second tier, where he was searched. A small sum of money was found upon •him, and ho was then locked In. As the lock was turned upon him the man burst i»ito tears, flung him-sclf upon his cot and buried his head in his hands. While on tho way up to the tombs he was asked why he had killed the man. lie replied: "He assaulted my little sister, so 1 gave him his deserts." At that time he appeared to be in the possession of his right, senses, but after ho had said this he acted like a halfwitted man.
Sent to tho Hnspltfil Wurd. At the tombs Divin gave his age us 25 years, his occupation that of an embroiderer, his residence as No. 4-14 East Eighteenth street. Beyond that he would not say anything. Ilo appeared to bo dazed. Warden Fallon gavo it as his opinion that Divin was shamming. The latter had told his cellmate that he did not drink, but Warden Fallon detected the fumes of liquor upon Divin, and tho warden believes that the man was just recovering from a protracted spree. He continually asks for his sister Sarah. He later was removed to tho hospital cell and a constant watch was ordered set upon him by the warden, us it was feared he would try to do himself bodily harm. Warden Faiion got from him the fact that hc'hnd had a serious operation performed on his head at one time. Divin later snld that he did not remember shooting Clcrget and that he never owned a revolver in his life. lie is unmarried.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
WASHINGTON, June 28.—Illinois was hands with honored Monday at tho Arlington -cniant hotel conference of representative republicans of tho United Stales by the choice of \V. J. Campbell to be chairman of the national and executive committees during the presidential campaign of 1802. This result wits reached after a lengthy conference at tho white house between President Harrison, cx-Gov. Cheney, of New Hampshire, and Henry C. Payne, who represents Wisconsin
011
the na
tional republican committee. Both the latter had been suggested as chairman of tlie committee, but they felt that tlicy could not give the necessary time to tho work and consequently were excused from such a duty. Meanwhile a growing boom was being inaugurated for Mr. Campbell, and at the bare mention of! his name there was an expression of opinion that he would fill the bill in every particular. "Tell Mr. Camp-! boll for me," remarked the .president I to Messrs. Cheney and Payne, "that it is my sincere wish that he should uecept this position." When this message was conveyed to the committeeman from Illinois he was for a time undecided whether to accept or telegram to Chicago fixed all business complications and

Fassett, of New York, took the floor and placed in nomination Gen. Clarkson us permanent chairman of the committee. He said that whtfn the doors closed on the Minneapolis convention they closed on a united party. That the friends of Mr. Blaine were disappointed every one knew, but to-day they were the earnest supporters of the nominees of the convention and would be at the front until the closo of the campaign. "We are entering," he said, "upon a campaign with no holiday excursion. The democrats hove nominated their strongest man and while the situation is desperate every republican who is really a republican will do everything in Ills power to win the fight in November." Mr. Fassett paid an eloquent tribute to Gen. Clarkson, and said that the days and nights had not been long enough for him to do what he wanted to do for the republican party. With him at the head of the national committee, there could be no doubt of success.
ClnrkHon Decline*.
Gen. Clarkson took tho floor as Mr. Fassett concluded his speech, und said iu substance that he wished to say to the members of the committee that he fully appreciated what had bceu said by Mr. Fassett and that he felt more grateful to him and to the others of the committee for their kind words than he could express. He had received the personal, individual tender of the support for the chairmanship of the committee of forty-two members of the committee, yet he had learned that the candidate for the presidency preferred another man. He therefore cheerfully declined to be considered candidate.
At noon the committee took a recess until 8 o'clock, In order that President Harrison might indicate his preference for chairman of the national committee.
Campbell Chosen.
The committee assembled at o'clock and Mr. Payne, of Wisconsin, placed in nomination as chairman of the republican national committee William J. Campbell, of Illinois. Uepresentativet of several other states seconded the nomination as one eminently fit and proper and predicting under his leadership complete success for the republican party in November. Mr. Campbell was elected by acclamation.
