'SEVEN LIVES ABE LOST. A KENTUCKY VILLAGE OVERWHELMED BY WATERS. A Cloud-15urst Cjiukcs nn Ain fill Tlelug^, Carrying- Away Buihlinjrs and Destroying: Property Seven Lives Lost in a KeMilling: Wreck. Mayville (Ky.) dispatch: At Bull creek, six miles above here, two black clouds met and burst. The creek Jumped over, and it swept like driftwood several dwelling houses and their frightened occupants. The stone culvert on the Chesapeake & Ohio railroad over Bull creek was washed out into the river and about 12 o’clock' last night, while the storm was at its height, the west bound freight-train ran in’o the washout, causing a fearful wreck. 'l’he engine and nine ears were piled one on top of another almost in the creek bottom. The following were buried in the wreck: ENG IN EKR (’. U. ROADCAP of Greenup countv. FIREMAN MORRIS HONAKER of Lewis count v. BRAKEMAN CHARLES EATON. The train was the first section of freight No. 33, drawn by engine No. 154. which is one of the largest as well as finest engines on the road. Tne engine is now out of sight in quicksand. ’l’he train was running over thirty miles per hour. A little later an east-bound mixed passenger train would have passed over the fatal culvert, when the loss of life would have been appalling. It seems iner.'dible that so many cars could lie jammed into so small a hole as there is at this culvert. James Irwin had a portable saw-mill located several hundred yards up Bull creek, above the railroad. The clouds suddenly bursting caused a rapid rise in the creek - , already badly swollen by the storm. Farmers say the creek rose, two feet per minute, and the water looked । like a wall twenty-five feet high j when it got to the railroad. The ' saw-mill was lifted from its fastenings and witli over a hundred big logs hurled violently against the railroad stone culvert. This is what probably caused it to give way. Huge stones weighing several tons were carried by tho creek long distances. The creek rose t wo feet higher titan it, had been in forty years. The fury of tlm storm caused many persons on Bull creek to abandon their homes and take to the hills, else the loss of life would have been greater. ti: < )Tb iTsoa i FYnTha ns. Many Sefth-< Leaving Their Homes anil Seeking Safer Quartern. Miles City (Mont.) dispatch: Latest ; reports from the scene of the Indian j troubles are not reassuring. l our more families have arrived from the menaced settlements in the Cheyenne eomitrv, and a man just in, who struck the road from the agency about forty miles south of here, reports passing three more families on their way and a number more following. There has been no m ws direct from the scene for two days and what lias happened no one knows. As tbe trouble is examined into more closely tbe more serious does it become, and tho more need is there for prompt and effective action. Two weeks or more ago while Deputy Sheriff Johnson was out on the Rosebud summoning jurors tlfreo Cheyon'nes .stopped him and warned him to return. He pushed them ( aside and kept on, the Indians following. In a few minutes he reached the top of a hill and, looking down, saw a party of Cheyennes engaged in a war dance. He returned just a week ago. George Wav. a settler, was stopped on the road by Cheyennes and dered back and i obeyed the order. Woi, Voice, a Cheyi cure government seoiit. a friendly young Indian, a week’ ago warned travelers to keep off the Rosebud, as Two Moons and his braves had blood in theii eves. Two Moons is believed to be the leader of the angry bucks. He is a noble specimen of the red man. weighing nearly 20') pounds, standing over six feet liigii and brave as a lion. It is believed the story of a messiah coming, as well as his people’s bad treatment by the gov- ; eminent, has had much to do with the j present trouble. DUN’S we; KLY REVEAV. Th<* Business of the Country Cnpreccdented in Volume. R. G. Dun Co.’s Weekly review ol | trade says: Speculation has been neither large in ; volume nor enthusiastic in tone during ' t Ite last week, but the legitimate, busij ess of the country continues unprecej lented in volume for the season and highly encouraging in prospects. There ; has been quite a decline in exports from | New Aorit for two weeks past, the ‘ value having been 14 per cent below I that of the same weeks last year, while in imports here a moderate increase continues. that of last week being 5 per cent.
