Great difficulty was had in driving the livestock back to the highlands, and many hogs were drowned, iiiie thousands of rails were carried aw Corn Holds and clover fields were cov ered by the Hood, in many fields several feet deep. The water was the highest known for 20 years. At least six inches of rain fell. Water covered the road loaning to Danvilie, cutting off all communication except by rail.

Between the Big Four tracks and the Rockviiie road lies a piece of grouud belonging to Alviu Smith. A cottage thereon is occupied by John Wilson. The water continued to rise until it stood 11 inches deep in this cottage. All attempts to reach Wiison and family failed until a raft of telephone poles was constructed, on which Mrs. Wilson and family were brought to dry grouud.

ROBTRT RITSON ARRESTED.

A Gigantic Schemo of Frustrated ljy

i'iiili-.delphiii

I'oliee.

PHILADKLLJHIA, Sept. G.—By the arrest of Robert Ritson of this city yesterday the police think tliey have unearthed a gigantic -system of swindling by bogus drafts printed in 'he names of 11 different national banks and drawn" to the correspondeaits of ti'iose banks in Louisville, Boston, Milwaukee. Indianapolis, Chicago and on five banks in New York city.

Last week, Ritson called at the printing house of Williamson Beecher, and representing himself as the ag,enu of a cancelling punch for the use of banking houses, negoti-ated for the printing of several thousand national baux. checks which, he said, ke meant to use iii advertising his patent punch. He left an order for the printing, and furnished the firm with a stereotyped facsimile of a cashier's draft in winch the nauie of the bank was mortised and could be changed. In addition to tue I printing of the che.-ks in black fr--the cut furnished, he ordered that ta name of the banks that were correspoildeuts of the bank upon whicii thu cnecits purported to be, snouid be printed. in red ink.

The checks, as then produced. wo :ld be an invitation of the origi.ia nseu by the banks, the list o..' which ie provided the printers. -Ritson's snbsetjuenr. a,L't oiis, liiw apparent nervousness and I his haste to have the work finished, aroused the firm's suspicions and they notified Captain of Detectives Miller of the c,ase. This oilicial scented an a:tenipt at whoiesale passing of fraudulent checks, and at once detailed iJoteatives Tate and Whitoomb, who went to the printers and awafted the arrival., of Ritson for the checks. They did have long ro wait before their man arrived, and he was takeci into custody., lie iutjisreu that ne represented a punc.i ma.nufacrpring firm, and had the checks printed to use in his business. (-J'aestioning developed that he had not been selling caneeding punches tor over a year. He stated also that lie had sold a punch to the Third Nasi-.: bank, but as tho cashier of that bun was in Captain Miller's room at r.te time the statement was made, it w.^s promptly branded as a falsehood.

The police are of the opinion that Ritson and others entered upon a scheme of wholesale forgery. The prisoner's familiarity With the banking business in this city is apparent from the fact that he selected the proper foreign coir^pondduts for the banks iu this city whose namds werd on the face of the check?. ^itCKMi was held iq tail to:answer a charge of conspiracy with unknown persons by meatus .of bogus checks. ...

FRIDAY EVENING SEPTEMBER 6, 1895. PRICE, TWO CENTS

partinent has been advised that the record in the Waller courtmartial, for which the French authorities found it necessary to send to Madagascar, is expected to reach Aden, on the Red sea, about the 12tli inst. After its arrival there some time will be required for its transmittal to Paris, and still more before it can reach WTashington, if it is decided to have it examined here, so that it is expected to be at least a month before the department can be in full possession of ail the facts in the case.

In all probability no further step will be taken by the department in this matter until tins examination shall be made. There is a growing feeling in the department that France has jiurposely sought delay in producing this record in the hope of causing the United States to make a peremptory unconditional demand for Waller's release. It is believed that if made, this demand will be granted, and if granted, Waller will be deprh'ed of all chance of securing an indemnity and the restoration of his land concession. Without an examination of the record, which could not l.e demanded after his release, it would be impossible to show that Waller had been unjustly deprived of his property.

The department is using every effort to avoid falling into this trap, while at. the same time it is determined to protect Waller in all his interests. The department is understood to be in receipt of the full statement of the case as supplied by the commander of the Castine. It is believed that the irritation of the French authorities at Tamatave is really aroused by his investigation into this case rather than by his failure to salute the French flag.
