Three Persons and Many Cattle Perisfizr
Minnesota Storms. ‘
ST. PAUL, June,9.—Late"reports indi-
cate that the damage done by the great”
storm will reach $800,000. . Three persons
are known to have perished. These are
C. W. Castleton of Ash Lake, E. W. Hun-
ter of Adrian and Moses Chadwick of No-
bles county. There were at least 1,000
cattle, sheep, hogs and horses drowned in
southwestern Minnesota.
The greatest casualties were at Luverne
and on the Rock river. Two cloudbursts
struck the latter in three hours, and the
river overflowed the country for miles.
Many people were forced to take to trees
or the roofs of their houses, and a rescu-
ing party was sent out for them from Lu-
verne. The current was so swift that the
rescuers were overturned and themselves
rescued with great difficulty. A second
party saved 20 or 30 people who were in
grave peril. ~ Many business houses were
flooded in Luverne. Across the border, in
South Dakota, at least 10,000 acres of
grain was ruined by flooding. Several
houses and elevators were blown down at
the town of Chapel, 8. D.

OLD GLORY’S GREAT DAY.
The National Flag to Be Displayed Upon
All Schools June 15.
ALBANY, June 9.—Superintendent of
Public Instruction 0. R. Skinner has is-
sued the following relative to the celebra-
tion of flag day by'the school children of
the state:
“June 14 will be the one hundred and
first anniversary of the adoption of the
stars and stripes as the national flag of our
country. While it is not a legal holiday,
it seems fitting that the day should be re-
membered, especially in the schools of the
state, in view of the fact that the law re-
quires that the national flag shall float
from every public school building. As
this anniversary will fall upon Sunday it
is recommended the 15th instant be ob-
served.
‘ ‘Schoolscommissioners and superintend-
ents are requested to call the matter to
the attention of local school authorities so
far as possible, with the recommendation
that special can be taken to display the
national flag upon every school building
on that day, and that a short programme
of appropriate songs and recitations he ar-
ranged. In this way a reverence for our
institutions will be' impressed upon our
school‘ children, and through them upon
the people of the state. Admiration of
the flag need not imply military spirit, but
rather love of country, obedience of law,
patriotic devotion to our government, a
generous desire for peace and good will
among all nations. Let the day be fitting-
ly Celebrated. Let our children be taught
what the flag represents.”
Defiance For England.
CAIRO, June 9.—The mixed tribunal

clared that this advance was made in vio-
lation of all existing decrees, condemned
the government to repay the money ad-
vanced and enjoined the commissioners
from advancing any furth’er moneys from
the reserve fund. The government and
the four commission s immediately
lodged an appeal again the decision.

1 A Woman Discovered Who Says Mrs.
Bliss Ate Arsenic.
SHE MAY TAKE THE STAND.
Dr. Scheele Again Placed on the Back by
the Lawyers For the Defense—The
Chowder Traced to
the Prisoner.
' Clam
NEW YORK, June 9.—-This is the fifth
week of the great Fleming-Bliss murder
trial. The prosecution claims to have
made a very strong case so far, and its
case is not by any means complete. It is
said the defense will require at least a
week to present its side of the case, and
the end of the long trial in which a daugh-
ter is accused of poisoning her mother for
financial gain cannot be predicted. A
startling statement was made during the
day to the effect that a woman who stood
very close to Mrs. Bliss, the alleged mur-
dered woman, was in her confidence in
fact, will testify that Mrs. Bliss ate arsenic
regularly to give her a clear skin. If this
be true and is susceptible of proof, the
case may take a decided turn in favor of
Mrs. Fleming.
A Sensation Looked For.
Part III of the court of general sessions
was filled to its utmost capacity when the
trial was resumed. The bitter attack
made by Mr. Brooks for the defense upon
Dr. Walter T. Scheele, the prosecution’s
expert witness last Friday, it was expect-
ed, would be followed by still more sensa-
tional developments. Threats, recrimina-
tion, abuse and accusations of various
kinds have been made by the lawyers on
both sides since Dr. Scheele underwent
his torture the other day on the witness
chair, and a bitter fight between counsel
was looked for. ~
Mrs. Fleming looked Well when she en-
tered court. There was plenty of color in
her cheeks, and her eyes sparkled as she
sat looking at Dr. Scheele, who sat just
within the space reserved for the district
attorney. Dr. Scheele looked nervously
expectant
Dr. Scheele Resumes.
When Dr. Scheele took the stand, Mr.
Brooke asked him if he knew a Mr. Grub-
-er, restaurant keeper, of Broadway and
Chambers street, and Max Mansfield, the
editor of the Plattdeutsche Post.
“Yes, I do,” answered Dr. Scheele in
an aggrieved tone.
“Did you about four weeks ago in
Gruber’s place say in the presence of
Gruber and Mansfield and Mr. Ed Alt-
house, a teacher, these words: ‘That
woman by all means must be convicted.
My reputation depends upon it?’ ”
The witness denied having used the
language Mr. Brooke had quoted or any-
thing like it.
“Were you the defendant in a suit
brought in the Brooklyn city court entitled
William H. Meserole against Walter Theo-
dore Scheele?"
Mr. McIntyre jumped to his feet with
an objection, and the recorder sustained
him.
”It is a perfectly competent question.”
said Mr. Brooke. “I want to show that
when this witness was awitness in the
Meyer case the district attorney’s office in-
vestigated his character and found it”—
“Eold on!” shouted Mr. McIntyre. “I
object.” The objection was sustained. '
Mr. Brooke tried again. He asked Dr.
Scheele if he knew two women, one of
whom was Tillie Warren, and remembered
saying to them in a hotel: “I will convict
that woman, guilty or not guilty. She has
got to die. ”
“I don’t remember any such thing,"
was the reply.
Mr. Brooke then tried hard to get in a
lot of questions bearing upon the alleged
passing of bad checks by the witness.
O’Sullivan Gives Brooke the Lie.
The perspiring chemist finally got a
chance to say, “I never got any money on
any false pretense in my life.”
The morning was lively enough, but it
reached its climax when Dr. O’Sullivan,
looking as if he were about to jump over
the table, gave his old partner, Mr. Brooke,
the lie direct or almost direct.
Dr. O’Sullivan was asking Dr. Scheele
about the Chemist’s report to the district
attorney’s office, the original copy of
which is lost.
“1111-. O’ Sullivan read the report in my
ofiice, ” interposed Mr. Brooke.
“ ’Tis false, sir!” shouted Dr. O’Sulli-
van, leaning over toward Mr. Brooke and
shaking his fist. “I never read anything
of Scheele’s in your office.”
Dr. O’Sullivan’s face was deathly pale.
His voice broke, and he almost sobbed.
Mr. Brooke said never a word. Recorder
Goff delivered along lecture intended to
be pacifying.
Gustav Eckert, a waiter in the Colonial
hotel, took the stand. Mr. Miller handed
him a restaurant check, and he identified
it as one which he made out for an order
for a bowl of clam chowder and a piece of
lemon pie brought to him on Aug. 30,
1895. He had the order filled and sent it
up stairs by James Redmond, the “omni-
bus boy.” He received another order later
for roast beef, ice cream and beer, which
he also sent up stairs by Redmond. Grace
Fleming, the defendant’s daughter,
brought him the last order.
Took the Chowder to Mrs. Fleming.
Mrs. Fleming appeared to think that
the clam chowder and pie testimony was
very funny. She leaned forward, whisper-
ed a few words in the ear of one of her
lawyers and smiled broadly. James Red-
mond. a pale faced boy with a.weak voice,
was the next witness. He testified that he
had taken a bowl of clam chowder and a
piece of lemon pie to Mrs. Fleming’s room
on Aug.'30. 1895, and that Mrs. Fleming
had signed the check for it in his presence.
Expert Says Holt’s Will Is a Forgery.
WASHINGTON, J one 9. -— More expert
handwriting testimony was adduced in
the trial of the Belt willcase. David N.
Carvalho, a New York expert, then testi-
fied that he had made the study of hand-
writing a specialty for 21 years. He had
carefully examined the alleged will and
had compared it with Judge Holt’s pa
pars. He characterized the purported will
as a fOrgery, pure and simple.
