Cincinnati, O., July 31.—A few each | torpic | succeeding one being apparently higher than the others; portions of : houseshold goods, carriages, stoyes and farm implements, mingled with huge boulders, railroad ties and bridge timbers all being borne through the streets by the madly rushing waters. For two hours the work of destruction continued, the horror being increased by the vivid lightning, crashing thunder and blinding rain. Gradually the waters subsided sufficiently to allow a partial inspec tion of the destruction. Only two bodies were taken from the waters before dark, a mother and her child. An attempt was made to reach the people living in the river bottom,but darkness and the absence of boats prevented success. All night long homeless people were being brought in and cared for. This morning a scene of desolation was presented.

Four more bodies were iaken out this morning and identified as those of the Durans, making six recover- ed. Other bodies are reported as being seen, but owing to the treach- erous nature of the ground they can not be reached. The destructive waters spread over the entire city and carried death everywhere. Many are missing. Another victim has since been added to the death Jist, an infant son of E. Baca having just died from the effects of water, hav- ing been rescued when almost drowre ed. Reports coming from towns north and south of here tell of heavy losses. For twelve miles south de- struction of property was terrible, frame houses and crops being en- irely swept away. The Santa Fe tracks were washed out between here and San Antonio in several places. The branch road from this city to Magdalene is practically destroyed for ten miles out, five bridges be- ing gore and several miles of track. Miles of Dead Fish. Jefferson City, Mo, July 31.—All day to-day there has been a proces- sion of dead fish floating past this city in the Missouri river. The faet was first observed this morning and at this hour tonight the procession continues. Thousands of the fish have passed on the breast of the current. They are of three kinds, carp, buffalo and drum. The largest observed weighed probably four peunds aud they have apparently been dead from thirty-six to forty- eight hours. The attention of State Fish and Game Warden Henry was called to the matter this afternoon and he ex- pressed the opinion that the presence of so many dead fish was due to the use of dynamite. Various theories are advanced. but the most likely and plausible of all of them is that the fish were washed out of the numerous small streams above here by late freshets and were unable to live in the muddy water of the Mis souri river. ’ falis have been tremendous, and one stream in this vicinity rose 14 feet in one hour.

Populist Split Imminent, Birmingham, Ala., July 19.—Capt. Rueben F. Kolb, twice defeated for Governor of Alabama on the Popu- list ticket, announced to-day through his paper, the People’s Tribune, that he will not again be a candi- date. He has opened a bureau for the purpose of bringing Western and Northern immigrants to Ala- bama. Kolb says he is opposed to further fusion of the populists with Repub- licans. Chairman Sam Adams also ia bitterly opposed to fusion, and in an address issued to-day warns the Populists that the crisis has been reached and that the life of the People’s party is at stake. | It is regarded as almost certain} that the Populist committee, at it’s meeting here next Wednesday, will | decide to fuse with the Republicars | as part of a plan to run W.
