YUMA DESTROYED BY FLOOD. ; Only the Railroad Hotel and) Peniten- tiary Now Lett San Francisco, Cal., Feb. 27.—Dis- | patches received by the railroad of- ficials from Yuma today say that | every building in the town except | the Southern Pacifie hotel and the| penitentiary were destroyed by} flood last night. The Gila and Col- | orado rivers thirty-three feet above low water mark. The! passenger and freight depots were | both flooded and water rose to a} level with the bridge across the Col- | orado river. | In order to keep the bridge from | being carried away by the freight depot being set afloat the building was blown up with dynamite. This morning the river dropped seventeen inches in an hour and the Yuma residents are feeling less anx- ious. All the country eastward for 20 tiles is under water and the Seuth- ern Pacific tracks are washed out for fully that distance. Trains are running between El Paso and Tuc- son, but west bound passengers are held at Tucson. rose —~ _ iu She Used a Whip Well. | St. Joseph, Mo., Feb. 27 —Chas. Wisehart several days ago made an insulting remark concerning Miss Cora Miller, a well known and bigh- ly respectable young lady. Yesterday the injured girl valled } Life of General Sherman. No literary announcement of the | year is of greater interert to the gen- eral public than that of a compre- | hensive Life of General Sherman, which is about to be published and sold through agents by the noted house of Hubbard Brethers, of Phil- adelphia. Admirable biographies of Grant and Sheridan, complete to the time of their death are familiar to | the public, but a life of the third great commander, to finish the se- ries has been lacking. The various biographies of Sherman hitherto published have necessarialy been in- complete; and even his own memoirs written in 1972 said almost nothing of his early life, and not a word, of course, of the more than twenty years of social activity and fraterni- ty with old comrades since the war. The work which is now to be is- sued will splendidly supply the widely felt demand for a history of the great strategic commander. It is being written by Willis Fletcher Johnson, whose ability as a historian is familiar to the reading public of America through his former usually popular works, which have had mil- lions of readers and the sales of the vast editions enriched an army of book agents. He is aided by Maj.- Gen. O. O. Howard, a man of fine literary attainments, who knew Sherman better than any other of his comrades now living, and rank- ed next but one to him in the army. That this history of Sherman the ‘last of the great general, will sur- her traducer into her uncle's resi-| Pa#s all others in popularity is not lence. On stepping inside of the! to be doubted. It will doubtless be house he found himself confronted | the best life of the great chieftain by eight or ten angry women among published and we predict for it won-} whom was Miss Miller. She asked | for an explanation of the stories he | had set is circulation, and when he} failed to explain satisfactorily drew | a rawhide, and, seizing him by the throat, lashed him over the head, face and body to her heart's content. | The women present assisted her. When Wisehart escaped his face was coyered with blood, and he will be distigured for life. He left the! country im less than an hour after he was whipped Miss Miller's action is highly com- mended.

Columbia Wins an tmportant — Cxse Columbia, Mo., Feb.. 27.—A prop- osition to contract a corporate debt not to exceed $45,000 for a water- works and electric plant was sub- mitted to the voters of this town last November by the board of trus- tees and was carried by more than | the required two-thirds majority. An injunction was at once sued out by the state to restrain the board | from issuing or negotiating the bonds, chiefly on the ground of want of charter power. The case came up on a demurrer to the application for the injunction and to-day Judge Hockaday sustained the demurrer and denied the suit holding that the board had the power under the charter to do what was proposed. The societies have elected Miss Auna Payne and “ye editor” to rep- resent them at the contest in elocu- tion and oratory before the State Chautauqua Assembly at Pertle Springs in July. The selection of Miss Payne reflects credit on the so- cieties and we predict that she will bring back the medal in triumph.
