RIO CRANDE OVERFLOWS
AND FLOODS THE TOWN.
Many Adobe IIomm Melt Away—Inhabi-
tant* Forced to Fie* From Their
—Orfiit Huiuax« IKnif to Crowing
Crop* by the Inundation.
El Paro, Texas, July 1G.—Tlia Rio
Graude is pouring a greater dood of
water into this valley than for many
years before. It has steadily risen for
several days, and last night it jumped
up nearly u foot, covering a large part
of the lower tow n This part of the
city was supposed to In) protected by a
well-built levee, but the river broke in
below the termination of the leveo
and backed up nearly to the Santa Fa
rai^k s.
The houses in this section of town
are chiefly adobe or unburned brick,
nnd as the water surrounds them they
melt away. If the river rises much
higher hundreds of houses will dis-
appear in the flood. Already more
than a score of them have succumbed
to the water, and many families have
taken refuge in the houses of their
friends on the higher ground. Citizens
who live in comfortable adobe houses
in the Second ward were hurried out
of their houses before daybreak this
morning, some of them barely getting
out before their dwellings went down.
It is reported that the overflow in the
vallev near the towns of Ysleta and
San Flisaris, is doing great damage to
crops. Not lets than 100 houses have
been swept away, and many poor
Mexicans ar left homeless There is
no telling what course the channel of
tho river will take before the flood
subsides. Floods like the present one
always change the bed of the river,
anil it is believed Uncle Sam will lose
several square miles of territory by
tho river moving further northeast.
Information from San Marcial, N. M ,
Is to tho effect that the river is still
rising.

4; Met arthyites, 4. Labor. 1. Total,

which has just been dissolved, twenty- i
four seats thus returned show gains

of the elections. The theaters aud
restaurants are almost deserted.
Two of the men best known in
America, whose success has been an-

African explorer, who made one un-
successful campaign for parliament,

Another labor leader, J. Kier Hardie,
who has been noted for his eccentric
attire in the house, loses his seat. The

Camden, Ark., July 13.—About 12
o'clock Saturday night, at Hampton,
thirty miles east of here, two negroes
were mobbed by seveuty-tive men.
Two weeks ago a white man named
Martin was killed by three negroes.
Two of them were arrested and placed
in jail A mob gathered several nights
ago, but were persuaded to desist.
Saturday night there was another
gathering, ami seventy-five determined
men marched to the jail and demanded
of the sheriff the surrender of the mur-
derers It was useless to resist such a
force with but a handful of men to sum-
mon to his aid, so the keys were deliv-
ered to the mob. The culprits were
carried to the neighboring forest and
hanged to trees. The men were not
masked and made no effort to conceal
their identity. Two years ago a race
riot occurred in Calhoun county. The
negroes greatly outnumber the whites,
and further trouble is expected.

8t. Louis, Mo., July 16.—By a vote of
12 to 2 the Democratic state central

convention. The convention will be
held at Pertle Springs. The date fixed
was August 0, 1895. J. B. Thomas of

Tenth district, were the only ones vot-
ing against the proposed convention.

two proxies which he held for a con-
vention. On June 1 the committee met
and voted 10 to 5 against holding a con-
vention to consider the financial ques-
tion and this change has been brought

In executive session the committee
fixed the basis of representation iu the
convention at one delegate to every 500
votes and fraction over 250 of the Cleve-

convention of about GOO delegates. The
chairman and secretary were instruct-
ed to prepare and issue tlie official call.*
The committee then adjourned.
