fray—Other Indiana News. BRAZIL, Ind., Dec. 26.—Ed. Hadley
was shot three times and fatally wounded late Tuesday night. Hadley, with a number of other young men, attempted to force their way into the house of Huldy Butler to see his pretty daughter. He refused to admit them, and then, itis said, they began stoning the house.
Butler seized a revolver and began firing at the crowd. Hadley was struck three times. In spite of his terrible wounds Hadley walked to the city and had his injuries attended to. He was taken home and the physicians say he can not live.
Butler at once surrendered, and is now in jail. His house has been stoned several times before and he was desperate. In the excitement that night he shot himself through the left hand.

GALE ON THE BRITISH COAST.
Many Vessels Wrecked aud Others Due and Not Heard From. LONDON, Dec. 26.—The heavy gale has
continued all around the coasts of Great Britain and Ireland, and many small wrecks have occurred within the sight and knowledge of those on shore, and besides much wreckage has been stranded, telling of further disasters of which the details are not yet known. The greatest anxiety is felt for all vessels due and unreported, or that are known to be at sea in the neighboring waters.
Several gallant rescues are reported to lighten the page of disaster and death. The trawler Sunrise took refuge at Aberdeen in a much damaged condition, five of the men on board having been drowned.'
Friends of the crews of the distressed vessels gather on the shores, and there are heartrending scenes among the helpless lookers-on at the havoo wrought by the sea.
In Kingston bay the bodies of the crew of the lifeboat, which Tuesday went to the rescue of the three-masted vessel which was flying signals of distress, but which was capsized before reaching the ship, are coming ashore.
The Crew Is Still in Peril. DUBLIN, Dec. 26.—The crew of the

GREENFIELD INDIANA THURSDAY EVENING DECEMBER 26, 1895 PRICE, TWO CEN
FLOOD DAMAGES.
Great Destruction Done in the Central and Southwestern States. ST. Lotns, Dec. 26.—Possibly not in
the history of the central and southwestern states have there been such heavy rains as in the past 10 days, and certainly the damage to property and loss of life consequent have never been so great.
To the farmers who live along the banks of the Osage river in central Missouri this Christmas brought only woe and gloom. The unprecedented rise in the river of 35 feet in three days has spread all over this section aud many farmers have lost everything they possessed. Some of them had their corn in shocks, others in cribs. The flood has taken all that lay in the lowlands. Not only have many of the farmers lost their crops, but their stock and buildings as well.
A Bagnell, the end of the Lebanon branch of the Missouri Pacific, the river is three miles wide, and no train has been able to get within a mile and a half of the town for four days. That town and Eldorado are shut off entirely from telegraphic communication with the outside world.
Twenty cars loaded with railroad ties are standing on side tracks at Bagnell, and there are thousands of ties floating about in the river and backwater. The loss to property in this immediate section is estimated at $1,000,000. The river is higher even than during the famous flood of 1844. The suffering of the people whose land and property has been devastated will undoubtedly be terrible this winter.
At Tuscumbia, the county seat of Miller county, a terrible condition exists, nearly the entire town is partially under water. Only the roofs of many buildings, the postoffice among them, can be seen. A large flouring mill, the printing office of the local paper and many small stores and residences, are entirely submerged.
In Texas and the Indian Territory heavy rains and strong winds have played havoc with property.
At Eldorado Springs, Mo., the home of William Jones on Sac river was washed away last night by high water. Mr. Jones, his wife and three children were drowued.
The new iron bridge on the Sac river is washed away. It was completed last fall at a cost of $14,000.
At Pittsburg, Kan., W. W. Curtis, a prosperous farmer of this county, was drowned by his buggy upsetting in the swollen waters of Bush creek.
Throughout Arkansas.
LITTLE ROCK, Dec. 26.—The Arkansas river here and at all points heard from is still rising. Communication is entirely cut off from Perryville and points south of the river in that section. The ferryboats generally are inoperative. Fromvdl parts of the state come the reports of damage wrought by high water. The rivers are approaching very near the disastrous stage of 1892.
Siloam Springs is cut off from the outer world and much of Newport is inundated. Houses are being carried away by the raging torrent near Red Bluff, but
110
casualties are reported.
At Little Rock the river is still at the danger point of 2 3 feet, but still 5 fort from the high water mark of Mav 21. 1892. lioy Heroes.
CARTHAGE, MO., Dec. 26.—The Russell brothers, the older of whom is not yet 16 years of age, are heroes in the vicinity of Smithfield. During the big flood two families camped on the White farm were missing and were supposed to be drowned. These boys began a search for them and finally found them, men, women and children, in a wagon box on a hay stack with iiiil" water around them in eve The unfortunates had been iu io 40 hours and were nearly exhausted. The lads conveyed them two at a time to the laud.
Osage Valley Devastated.
JEFFERSON CITY, MO., Dec. 26.—The Osage, Gasconade and Moreau river floods are subsiding and the weather is clear. Communication has been established with the Gasconade. The entire Osage valley for 400 miles is a scene of desolation and ruin, great suffering necessarily resulting, as hundreds of families have lost everything. It is thought the loss by the floods wiU reach $2,000,000.
BROKE OUT AFRESH.
Street Railway Trouble in Philadelphia Has an Echo. PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 26.—The street
railway trouble broke out afresh yesterday, but was quickly quelled, and cars are again running as usual. While it lasted several cars were stoned and their windows smashed, but nobody was hurt. The difficulty occurred on Girard avenue, the ex-strikers charging that the division superintendent in sending out cars had violated the company's agreement of Monday by giving preferences to the new, or nonunion men.
The old employes gathered together and after watching the cars go out for some time with imported motormen and conductors, started a revolt. Obstructions were placed on the tracks and a mob of 10,000 people gathered atid began to stone the cars. A squad of mounted police was called to the scene and in a short time the mob was dispersed, after a few arrests had been made.
The Second and Third street line was also in trouble for a little while from the same cause, but peace waa: restored on both branches by the company agreeing to put the old men to work. On the other lines cars were run almost altogether by old men and there was no trouble. All cars are now running as usual without molestation.
About 2 o'clock yesterday morning the brick stables attached to the handsome residence of John Lowber Welsh, president of the Union Traction oompanyin Germantown, were burned to the ground, entailing a loss of $20,000. The bitter feeling existing against Mr. Welsh because of his attitude during the strike leads to a general belief that the Are was of incendiary origin. Mr. Welsh does not think so, however. He says it was probably due to the oarelessness of aj servant employed in the stables* The police are investigating

Women's Clubs Prohibited.
This from poor, old, effete stick in the mud China. It is from an edict recently issued by the governor of Kwang-Chau-Fu: "Women's clubs pre herewith prohibited. It is well known that in the district herein named a great portion of the female population has a horror of matrimony. In consequence our young persons who are married do remain away from their homes the greater part of the time at their clubs. Should the man demand his wife to return home by force she kills herself, and this causes her relations to grumble. Thus are men deprived of their wives. I do therefore order that these clubs be closed, and that the married women stay at home. This edict is to go into effect within a month. Rebellious wives will be taken home by a policeman."

Hon, "Wm. H. English, of Indianapolis, Is certainly deserving of the highest com* mendation for his action in withdrawing from public life several years ago in orde? to devote himself to the task of writing ft. history of Indiana, the Introduction off: which is now appearing in two volumeci under the title of "CON'QUEST OF THg?" NORTHWEST." He S a millionaire and it is therefore unreasonable to sujr. pose that his work along historical lineiS was animated by any spirit of selflshnes^" or sordidness. No other man is so well equipped for the task he self-imposed. He has been a conspicuous figure in Indiana almost continuously since it was. admitted to Statehood. He was secretary of the Constitutional Convention, and hiapersonality is strongly marked in the orcanio law as well as in much of subsequent legislation. His great wealth has afforded him opportunities for devoting? his entire attsntion to literary labor. Hia intimacy with public men and State ana Federal officials, has given him exceptional facilities for gaining acces3 to documents necessary to insure thoroughness* and exactness In the preparation of his history. After several years of ardent devotion and labor, undertaken in a spirit of State pride and for pure love of it, the publication of "THE CONQUEST OF THE NORTHWEST" will cause him to be kindly remembered as an IndlanlaR whose motives have been often misconstrued, and whose real worth as a man and citizen has been often Ignored by unreasonable political bias and human ture's inherent prejudice against men ofi sjl Immense
wealth.—Lafayette

"The Bridge" Born of Sorrow.
In writing of an evening with Long-" fellow and "How He Came to Write His Best Known Poems" HezekiahButterwortii in Ladies' Home Journal saysr "My poem entitled 'The Bridge,' saidK Longfellow in effect, "was written in» sorrow, which made me feel for th$» loneliness of others. I was a widowerr at the time, and I used sometimes to go* over the bridge to Boston evenings to meet friends and to return near midnight by the same way. The way was' silent, save here and there a belated?footstep. The sea rose or fell among the? wooden piers, and there was a great furnace on the Brighton hills whose red light was reflected by the waves. It wasv on such a late solitary walk that thespirit of the poem came upon ma The bridge has been greatly altered, but the: place of it is the same."
