I’ itz and Vetener Bally, two boys,
procured a piece of line wire, which
they threw over the wires supporting
the trolly wire on Finning street, for
the purpose of getting a shock. The
wire came in contact with the troilv
and no sooner hail the boys seized an
end of the wire than the deadly cur-
rent began to burn them, and caused
them to lull to the ground, The
smoke issued from their clothing aud
caused them to emit piteous cries for
heip. Young Hailey was badly burn-
ed, and young Fitzo had his right
hand so fearfully burned that lie will
probably lose all the lingers, and part
ot the palm of the hand.
depth of the Hood at Consuegra can
be guaged from the fact that the wa-
ter rose eighteen leet iu the church ot
St. John the Baptist. The estimate
made of the damage to property in
and about Consuegra places the loss
at $2,500,000. Survivors ot the disas-
ter gave vavueaud confused accounts
of the t award sweep of the Hood,
which wrought such deadly havoc.
They say, however, that though the
river was noticed rising rapidly, no
serious apprehension was felt * until
the water seemed to make a sudden
rush forward, threatening to over-
whelm, and eventually overwhelming
everything. Then came a wild race
tor life. Many climbed upon the
roofs ot houses, hoping to escape, but
the houses gave way beneath them as
tho swollen waters swept through the
town, consigning hundreds to death

ot high family, and all are devoted to
tho Clerical party, which is opposed
to President Diaz. It is as pretty a

Capt. Randall to patrol the American

pot out on tho prairie. Justins it
come to a stop two men clim® into
tho engine cab and presentoif Win-
chester mips to the head of the en-
gineer and forbado him to move the
engine. At the same moment two
men entered the baggage car and
asked Baggageman Mclnch if ho was
tho express messenger.
“No,” said Mclnch, ‘-lie is further
rear, three men climbed into the
express car and covered the exprow
messenger, J. B. Perrin, with Wine
cheaters. One guarded Perrin while
the other two went through the ex-
press matter. One bag of silver was
ound which the expr ss messenger
threw to tho ground,
“Open that sate,” said the leader, ti
