Sroux City, Ia., April 2.—[Special Tele gram to the Bee.]—The flood on the Missouri river has at last reached this point and the results are serious, although the water in the river here had reached a very low stage. It fell two feet yesterday forénoon, then in the carly afternoon it suddenly rose two feet, and has since continued to rise. The great ico gorge at the mouth of the Sionx river, nearly five miles above, held firm. For more than five miles above the ice is packed solidly in the channel. This acted as a dam, and above it the water rose with incredible swiftness, Towards evening it burst the banks and rushed over the lands on tho Dakota side. By half past 8 o'clock lnst night the Chi- cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul depot at Elk- point, twenty-five miles from here, was sur- rounded by water. The lower portions of the town were flooded and the people had to fleo to higher ground. The situation at the town of Jefferson, betwren here and Blk- point, was even worse. A portion of the railroad track between Jefferson and Elk- point washed out yesterday afternoon, and during the night telegraphic communication was cut off. By this morning the whole country on the Dakota side for fifteen miles above the Sioux river was one street of water, and a powerful current has been rush- ing from the Missouri into the Sioux river, endangering the railrond and other bridges. This country is thickly settled and all the farmers have been compelled to seek refuge on the higher ground, next to the bluffs. So sudden has been the rush of the water that the 10ss of live stock must have been great, but cannot now be ascertained. No loss of human life has yet been reported. Relief parties were organized carly this morning at Elk Point and sent out in boats. Superintendent Beardsley, of the Mil- waukee company, started a ' relief train this afternoon, but could get no further than Jef- forson. ‘The river hero this cvening is still risimg with great rapidity, and is carry- ing down immense masses of ice. The cur- rent is wearing away tho river front at pre- cisely the same points washed out last year, On the Nebraska side farther up and in fron of the town of Covington, the water is cut- ting out the bank, and threatens to overflow. The ice which is running comes out of the Sioux river and the great gorge still holds. At 6 o'clock it is reported that the water is still rising above the gorge. At Elkpoint the water is now two inches higher thau during the great flood of 1881, i The Citizens Triumphant. Dunvque, Tn., April 2—One of the most exciting elections ever held in the city closed to-night with the triumph of the entire Cit- zens’ Union ticket over the Knights of Labor ticket. The former was headed by Georgo B. Bureh, who has 341 majority over C. A. Voo ker, present Knight of Lubor mayor, who was elected a year ago by 754 majority. On the Citizens’ ticket the candidates for treas- urer, recorder, attorney, auditor and four out of five aldermén were elocted. The Knights of Labor clected only the assessor and one alderman. The successful ticket was com- posed of four democrats and two republicans. The campaign was made wholly upon the promotion of the interests of the city. e IOWA LEGISLATURKE. Senate.

His Debut as an April Fool a Notable Success—Trying to Divert At- tention From His Alleged Rascalities, kinning the Shark. Nrw York, April 2.—[Special Telegram to the Bee.]—The Herald, this morning, edi- toriplly, referring to the Gould letter, says: “Poor Gould. His debut as an April fool was a notable success. A dealer in seeond- hand reminiscences, the whimpiving victim of & newspaper, a cable company, and a woman, he seeks to divert public attention from the main issue—certain alleged rascali- ties—and to evade that justico which he has every reason to fear. Itis the old story of Faust and his bargain with Mephistopheles allover again—history ropeating itself once more. Gould's last woapon is the weapon of acoward. Lacking moral courage to face the contempt of an outraged community, he takes refuge in porsonal malignity. Drenched to the skin with financial intrigue, this spec- ulative trickster stands dripping before the world and prates about the cardinal virtues. ‘When the Herald chooses to enter the lists it cquir. elf from the arsenal of honorable warfare, We invade the sactuary of no man’s home. Nota word has passed our lips about this man's private life. When he closes the door of his house, a truce is instantly sounded; when he enters the field agoin the war is renewed. As an clement of our business life he becomes public property, and an_independent journal 18 bound by its duty and obligations to the public to nment on his methods,to examine his transactions and to dewounce .them in Wwhatever terms the occasion may suggest.

Senate. WasmiNeTON, April 2.—The house bill to give a pension of £2,000 to the widow of Gen- eral Logan was, on motion of Mr. Davi passed. Au order was made assigning Justice Har- lan to the Fourth judicial circmit to fill the vacaney caused by the death of Chief Justice Waite. The senate then resumed as unfinished business the house bill for the purchase of United States bouds by the secretary of the treasury, the question being on the motion to recommit the bill. Mr. Stewart moved to recommit with in- structions to the committee to report without delay a scparate bill allowing the owners of zold or silyer bullion to deposit the same and receive coin certificates therefor. Mr. Sherman opposed the mgtion. Mr. McPherson said, the proposition of Mr. Stewart meant the free coinage of silver and nothing else. Mr. Reagan suggested an amendment that £100,000,000 of gold coin now in the treasury be used for the redemption of interest-bear- ing bonds of the country. He declared that the policy of the government in both the ex- ecutive and legislative departments had been since 1860 in the interest of the money lords of this country and of Europe. He knew that the present administration had taken up and maintained the policy of its republican predecessors, but he proposed, so faras his own action was concerned, without referen to what others in the demoeratic party, even in high places, should do, to stand by th interests of the people, to insist on thei rights and to insist that the government shall be conducted in the interest of the people. . After some further discussion Mr. Stewart withdrew his amendment. Without action the senate adjourned. House.

New York, April 2.—[Special Telegram | to the Bee.]—The base ball season’ opened yesterday afternoon in a grand battle be- tween nearly two hundred boys. It was net & sham battle, either, but an earnest fight in which sticks, bricks, rifles and revolvers played an important part. A swall crowd of boys congregated at Depot hill about 3 o'clock, The ground was clear and a game of base ball inaugurated. In half an hour two hundred boys—American, Irish and French—were on the ground. A quarrel arose between 8 French and an Irish boy. The young Frenchmen all espoused the cause of their compatriot, while the Americans and Irish sided with the home ruler. A reg- ular melee ensued. After the first hurly burly of fisticuffs the sides began to fling brick and stones. These missiles were not considered effective enough and new weapons were introduced. Some boys bad small calibre revol s and these were drawn and used. Tom Brown, an American boy, didn’t have a revolver hida. He ran home and fetohed a small ritle, together with a dozen or ffieon cartridges. Bullote’ were poured into the ranks of the enemy, and when the smoke of battle cleared away the Irish and Americans found themselves. in possession.

[Popyright 1558 by Names Gordon Bennett.] Loxnos, April 8448 a, m.—[New York Herald Cable—Speial ‘to the Bre.|—Every morning paper devates space in its editorial columns to the newslook of Boulangism in the formation of the few French ministry, the Standard} ® ¢Whatever we may think of General Boufanger, Boulangism is the conceded fact that stares the new cabinct mthe face. What Wil they do with pushing the adventurer who Hak,been ejected from the barrack yards and if,fibw knocking hard at the door of the chaimben! The appointment of M. Do Freycinet hits suggested to some that they propose to disarm him by submis- sion. There remains a prospect of agitation for the restoration of the demagogio general, Such a demand would ba utterly irrational, it is true, but it is pretty certain to be for- midable and it would be folly to assume that those who detest General Boulanger will not take his part, if by doing 8o they can upset a ministry which they dislike only in a less de- gree. The fact that a clvilian has been ap- poiated to the charge of military affairs will add to the difficultios of the situation. 1t will give a point totho jibes and taunts of the Boulangists and lessen the chances of maintaining sympathetic relations be- tween the government and military officers That is a thing not to be left unconsidered at a time when the Boulangist party boasts of the popularity of their candidate with his former comrades of all ranks. But here, as in other crises of his career, General Boulan- ger's game has been played by his adver- saries. They have put in plain words what he would only darkly hint at. By charging him with conspiring to obtain the sole master- ship of France they recognize that the hour has come when society may be persuaded that it needs a savior. brashls ) The English Grain Market.

Wheat continues to look well on the clay, and a light land loss of tho plant is cominon. The prices of foreign wheat are in the buyers' favor without a quotable decline.

Police Swoop Down On the Banks Sisters in Ohicago. THEIR LITTLE GAME EXPOSED' A Spiritualist Causes the Break-Up of the Fraudulent Business and the Ghost Walkers Are Landed in Jail. A Spiritualistic Fake Exposed. Critcaco, April 2.—[Special Telegram to the Bee)—Two spiritualistic mediums, known as the Bangs sisters, about whose materialistic scances there has been con siderable comment for some time past, have been exposed and locked up by the police on the charges of running an entertainment without license and obtaining money under false preton: The sisters, who are hand somo young women on the sunny side of thirty, claim to have been in the businoss since they were small children, They were recently brought prominently before public notice in connection with the freaksof Henry Jestram, The latter, who is a wealthy West Side photographer, was a warm friend of tho late August Spies, and becamo infatuated with the spirit business at one of the Bangs' scances which he attended just after the execution last November. Since then he was a regular attendant and a couple of months ago created a great stir among the anarchists by announcing to the public that he had commnnicated with Spies’ spirit at the Bangs sisters’ seance, and would receive regular letters thereafter. Reasonmng an- archists denounced him as a fool and after a time the matter dropped out of sight. Then he began getting spirit messages from other dead and gone people, and finally a weok ago becamo 80 demented that he had to be con- fined in the detention hospital for the insane. It seems now that a Mr. Trefney, a spirit- ualist, made complaint to the police three weeks ago that the Bangs girls were con- ducting a frandulent exkibition, and a de- tective was put on the case with instructions to become a regular visitant at the seances and ingratiate himself mto_the confidence of the mediums, This he did, and last night the expose was made. The detoctive, witn a brother officer and the complainant, Trefncy, took a front seat at the scance, and after the usuai preliminary, spirits began to appear in the cabinet. Finally, when a Russian prin- ess made her debut, a signal was given Trefuey rushed forward and grabbed the spirit by the shoulders while the detectives lit the gas. They were compelled to go to the aid of Trefney, who was having a furious struggle with the Russian princoss, who had dealt him two severe blows in the face. Detective Tyrrell grasped the spook and said: “May Bangs, I arrest you.” The shrowd and mask were torn from her and May was revealed clad in her ordinary house dress, “The mother of the girls was about this time discovered making a flank move- ment on the cabinet and running up stairs. An ofticer pursued her and caught her secret- ing various articles of disguise, Some of the male attendants at the scance became so threatening at this that the officers were compelled to draw their revolvers to clear the way. The patrol wagon was called uud the girls taken to the station. The cabinet was found to be the regular spirit style, with side_doors, curtains, cfe.

She had the eredit of becoming iterested in the Jewish synagogue to such an extent that she presented the temple authoritics with $1,000 ina cheek on New York for its improvement and renovation. So much pleased was the rabbi with this munificent act that he publicly congratulated the congregation and thanked the strange Jewess for her devotion and liberality. She was in the synagogue at the time, and after the rabbi’s complimentary remark, arose and bowed a hearty acquiescence to the laudation sequently, fearing detection, sho left for st, and after her departure her peeuli- arities became known.

Raccoon hunting is a sport confined almost entirely at present to the south- ern section of New Jersoy, says the New York Mail and Express. There was a time when the coon, as the south- ern negro invamably called him, could be hunted all over the middle and in most of the southern states. But now South New Jersey has what is left of the commou coon. The black-footed raccoon still exists in Toxas and Cali- fornia to a certain extent, but he has not been the object of the huuntsman’s gun and skill in those states. Coon- hunting thereabouts, however, 18 one of the great sports, Not only is the chase of the coon rare fun, but it pays to trap the frisky animal and dispose of him to those who use the body for vari- ous purposes. The average coon weighs about ten pounds, but it is not uncommon to kill coons weighing as high as eighteen pounds. The flesh is solid and sweet and the meat is re- garded as o dainty, dish by epicures. Theve are caterers to cultivated palates in New York and Philadelphia who are always willing to pay for a fat coon. The smart coon hunter not only gets paid for the coon’s meat, but he also sells the tallow of the animal to drug- gists and to at least one house that con- vert it 1nto a salve that is understood to have rare qualities in the curing of cuts, burns and scalds, The cinnamon coon is a grand- naphew, so to speak, of the brown boar. His appetite much resembles that of a bruin. He is very fond of a choice rab- bit steak and a bit of juicy squirrel. The common coon may be aptly de- seribed as a ss between a dog and a cat. His tail is his own peculiar prop- orty, however. It has along fringo of brown fur, stripped with black bavs, and is big enough to wag the coon, when tho occassion requires. ivery reputablo coon has a pair of sido whiskers, Dundreary-like in aspect, through which the wind need never cense blowing, His one compunion is the oppossum, The coon and the ’pos- sum are the Damon and Pythias, the David and Johnathan of the brute crea- tion. They both wage relentless war on the rabbit squirrel. They both love holes in the ground and both prosper because they are so ‘‘devilish sly.” These cold, moonlight uights are tho best in the year for coon hunting, Hun- dreds of men and boys in Atlantic and Cape May counties are out every night now after coon. Their shouts and the noise of their guns can be heard over a region of nearly sixty miles. Dogs are used to trail the ereatures. When th dogs, which are usually the little keen- scented beagles, are started out at night they know that it means coon or noth- ing, and that no variation in the chase in the way of running a rabbit is per- mitted. With short, shattered cres- cendo barks the hounds dash into the woods after perhaps indulging in a brief serapping match or two on their own account. If their be acoon within a quarter of a mile of them the hounds are quick to find it out. The coon at onco begins to double and twist, in the hope of throwing his pursuers off the trail. But_the hounds, asunerringly asthe h; follow him in his woodland pilgrim’s progress, here, there and everywhere. Once in a while, with al- most human intelligence, the coon will take to the tree tops and travel from limb to limb for mayhap fifty yavds. Then it is likely that the hounds will search in vain for the missing animal. Again the coon will clamber up a big bush, and, clutching a hanging branch, ng backward and forward a fe -times until he has gained enough mo- mentum to cast himself across a wide brook. But old coon hounds know these little tricks. The leading dog regains the trail and the others scatter on each side and run abrenst of him. It is not long before the dogs get close up to the fugitive animal. The coon soon reaches its above and has hardly whisked its tail out of sight hefore the baying dogs at the foot of the tre There they and bay until the arrival of the hunters. Sounding the tree by striking it with re able to tell how far down its trunk the hollow extends. At its base is the coon’s nest. Just above it axemen begin to cut a hole and the ceon, frightened by the noise, deserts his nest, takes to the dead limbs above, and is easily picked off with a shot from a skillful marksman. s S A Fatal Affray in Ohio, L, O., April 2.—In a fight with colored men to-night, Patrick Hughes was killed and Dave Gallagher and James Stockley fatally stabbed.

Five minutes after the opening the pit was quiet except for the occasional bid or offer of somo local traders. There scomed to bo no ordors from the outside. Tho excitement in the corn pit drew most of the attention on tho floor and strength shown. there helped to make the wheat market firmer and even to advance prices a little, but there was no snap in at, and fluctuations kept within a narrow range. The fact that to-morrow would bo a holiday and the anxiety about the striko were both benumbing in their influence. The decreaso of 1,000,000 bushels in tho visiblo suppiy of wheat was rather more than the trade expected, but it did not awaken any enthusiasm or cause any ad- vance in prices. May wheat opened at 771 @73, which was }@!c higher than Sat- urday’s close, worked down to 73l{@i7io and up to 77 and held betyeen these limits throughout the morning session clesing at 1 o'clock at 7T i@7iie. June wheat opened at 78, sold down to 773¢c, and closed at10'clock 8o 3e. The corn pit was crowded with traders some time before the bell tapped, and thero was & promise of a lively time. The late opening, on account of tho first hour being taken up with deliveries, had given tim for New York to show a sharp advance, and the spreading of the strike here seemed to be an abundant causo for anxiety on the part of the shorts. The first sale of May cor at 53%e, which was e higher than day’s close, and under the cager bidding of shorts there was almost immediately un ad- vanco to 533 Then followed a decline to 53tg@53%c and on the next upward move- ment Hdico was reached. The shorts ap- peared to be the on at this extreme, and the price be z slowly with fro- quent smail reactions until b3%e was touchod. Tho market was extremely nervous and un- settled. On almost the next salo after this the lowest point wus touched, at d3kg@3ige. Then thero was u gradual improvouont to 533 @334c, after which the vrice fell again to which was the closing price of the IMOrRIng session.

The major por- tion of this decline, however, was sub- sequently recovered, and when the raiders ~ withdrew’ trade became slow and uninteresting, Outsido specula- tors, in view of the holiday —to-morrow, were sparing in their operations, and with cash buyers the railroad troubles placed an embargo upon their business.
