EDSS1A BIDDING FOE EX-KIKG MILAN The Salisbury GoTernment is making a desperate effort to avertdibsolution by adopt ing new rules to force legislation through the House of Commons. The party is seri ously divided, and only preserves an appear ance of unity because of the certain disaster in a general election. Englishmen have at length become aroused to the serious nature of the disputerwith France concerning New foundland. TBT CABLE TO THE PrSPATCH.1 London, June 4. Copyright The fighting policy of the opposition re solved upon early in the Parlia mentary session, in consequence of the introduction! of the Government land bill and strengthened by the unpopular proposal to compensate the liquor sellers at the cost of the taxpayers, has this wees: received an additional and most striking justification. The existing Government, whose normal majority in the House of Commons is over 80, stands discredited and demoralized in the face of the contemptuous country, and only the instinct of self-preservation pre vents it from committing suicide by appeal ing to the constituencies. The crisis is dne to that which the Tories in public denounce as obstrnctibn, but which in private they mournfully admit to be the brilliant party strategy of the Liberal leaders and their 'Irish allies. NEW BUXES NECESSABT. The legislative machine has been brought almost to a deadlock, and can only be set going again by a lubrication in the form of new rules of procedure. Under ordinary circumstances the Government would have solved the difficulty by dissolving Parlia ment and appealing to the electors to re 'cord in the ballot boxes their opinion of the conduct oi the opposition. That this Gov ernment has not followed the traditional course offers ample proof that they fear the result of a general election, and fully jnsti 'es the tactics of Gladstone and his fol lowers. Last week several Cabinet councils were held to consider the best means of quelling (the incipient mutiny in the Tory Unionist 'ranks, a mutiny which was reflected in the Cabinet itselt by the existence or grave dif ferences of opinion among the Ministers in regard chiefly to the order of precedency to !be given to the principal Government bills. The decisions taken at one council were varied at the next, and finally the Ministers agreed to take the opinion of the party caucus before doing anything at all. SEKIOUS PAETY DIVISIONS. The caucus was held at the Carlton Club, the official headquarters of Toryism, and was marked by scenes refreshing indeed to the Liberal observers. The Tories were divided into three distinct camps. In the first were all the Ministers, who favored the establishment of a new standing order by means of which the bills not passed by the end of one session might be introduced into the new session and carried forward without debate to the point at which they had pre viously stood. The members in the second group urged the dropping of one of the three most im portant bills, preferably the Irish land pur chase bill, and forcing the remainder through the session by the free use of cloture or gag. The third group, which comprised some of the most influential unofficial mem bers of the party, advocated the early clos ing of the present session and the reas sembling of Parliament in the fall. NO DECISION BEACHED. The discussiod was stormy and the meet ing broke up amid much excitement with out coming to a decision. The same even ing Lord Salisbury intimated to Lord Hart ington that he must come to the assistance of the Government, and Hartington prompt ly convened a caucus of his nondescript party, which was duly held to-day. The meeting was almost as stormy as that at the Carlton Club, but as nine out of ten oi those knew, and, in point of fact were covertly re minded by Hartington that their political lives depended upon the existence of the present Government, a resolution was passed in favor of the new standing order as recom mended by Salisbury. Meanwhile the Tory malcontents have organized a formidable movement in favor of an autumn session, but the movement collapsed in a comical manner upon the mutineers receiving a stern intimation that their persistence would result in the resigna tion of Mr. Smith and probably be the dis solution of Parliament. Discipline has not been wholly restored, however, in the Tory ranks, for last night, in a critical division in the House of Commons, the Government majority shrunk to 32. For the moment the crisis had been everted, but it may and probably will recur at short notice, and the most important events may happen within the next few weeks. The Grand Old Man has taken an active part in the fray, and is as active, as alert and as hopeful as the youngest of his followers. ANOXHEE FEATTJEE. The resignation of Police Commissioner Monro, although not directly connected with politics, has further damaged Home Secretary Mathews in the estimation of the public and has strengthened the feeling among the Tories that he is their Jonah and must.be speedily thrown overboard. Tech nicsllyMonro was in the wrong. He had advocated the just demands cf his men for hftteriay and the establishment of a pen iionlrfund with a zeal which overran dis cretion, and he finally flung what was practically an ultimatum at the head of the Secretary of State, whose subordinate be j NrW K r Wrh h bebnlliedandMonhadnoopt,onbu-to a lauji ujf nnrjibi JeifeiMtatii-TfadeiMnd. awi dilu rAUJiAiin '""" NrW HH MAHh M I was supposed to be. Mathews declined to be bullied and Monro had no option but to resign. The people will not mourn for him, for during his brief tenure of office he per mitted himself to be the tool of the Tory Government in suppressing public meetings and curtailing the right of street procession. Critics who do not understand their sub ject have been predicting a mutiny in the force at a result of Monro's retirement. .Nothing of the kind will occur. It was stated in this paper a fortnight ago that the agitation among the policemen was confined to a few of the younger men, and would fizzle out. Nothing has occurred since to render necessary any modification of this view. The men have not competent lead ers among themselves, and Mathews has recognized the justice of the claims which have been put forward on their behalf by in troducing the superannuation bill into the House of Commons. The policemen will not receive as much as Monro asked for them, but they will get enough to allay the discontent. ALL ENGLAND AROUSED BY THE SERIOUS NATURE OF THE PUTE WITH FRANCE. DIS- Fnbtic Opinion Strongly Against Any Con cession In Egypi A Settlement Very Donbtful A Giro nndTake Arrangement WitB Germany In Africa. " :BT CABLE TO THE PISrATCB.l London, June 14. The Newfoundland delegates, who have been here less than a week, have shocked the bureaucrats of the foreign colonial departments by writing to the newspapers and giving interviews to the reporters in flagrant disregard of diplomatic etiquette. They have been requested to be more cautious, and in view of the delicate character of the negotiations now proceed ing the warning is considered justifiable. La Paix, which is indisputably the organ of the Elysee, declared to-day that Prance must use force to compel the English to evacuate Egypt. Presumably, therefore, Lord Salisbury has finally refused to give up the land of the Pharaohs in exchange for the surrender of the French fishing rights in Newfoundland. It is an open secret that the British pro posal to buy out those rights have not been received with much favor by the French Government, and it is reasonably certain that the present Chamber will reject any settlement which does not include or affect Egypt. Heretofore public interest in the matter in Great Britain has been very lan guid, the average Englishman having been under tbe impression that the question was purely one of lobsters and cod, but now that it is understood that it may involve the country in a serious quarrel with France, the coarse of negotiation will be closely and jealously watched. The average English man aforementioned, who knows little of rand cares less for the Newfoundlander, is very sensitive and even bellicose when the subject of the withdrawal from Egypt is broached. Major Wissmann left Cairo on Thursday en route for Berlin During his short stay in Egypt he received from and sent to his Government many long dispatches, but it is not probable that the African dispute be tween England and Germanv will be set- tied until he has personally reported to Em peror William and Chancellor Caprivi. The Government here is daily questioned on the subject in Parliament, but it declines to give any information. There is little reason to doubt, however, that the negotiations will result in concessions to the Germans in regard to tbe territory west of Victoria, Nxanza, in return for the German evacna tioutf Witu in theEwU This seems to be Stanley's opinion also, although he declines to comtnitrhimself to a definite statement. He recently received a communication from the British foreign office which would fur nish interesting read In? could it be made public Its effect upon him was marvelous, for he has ceased denonncing the Germans, and now tells Englishmen the settlement of the African question is tbe easiest thing imaginable. It is purely a matter of give aud take. The African wilderness is not worth a shot fired in anger between En glishmen and Germans. It is not worth even an exchange of angry words. A RUSSIAN BID FOB MILAN. His Support Would b an Aid In the Acqui sition of Pernio. ' fBT CABLE, TO TUX DISFATCH.1 London, June 14. King Milan has this week experienced the novel sensation ol finding a newspaper with a good word for him. The fact that the newspaper in ques tion is the Sovoe Vremya, the semi-official organ of the Bussian Government, should suggest even to Milan's mind that the nraise is not altogether disinterested. Bus sia, it seems, among all her adherents in Servia, cannot count a man of great intel lectual gilts, strong nerve, and above all, of commanding influence in the Servian army. According to the JToroe Vremya Milan pos sesses all these qualities aud qualifications but he does not love Bussia. The object tion, however, is not thought to be insur mountable. Milan must reside a certain part of every year in Bussia and learn to love. But Milan has said with much force of language that be will not walk into the Bus sian parlor, no matter how alluring the wily spider may make it. He abdicated a crown for tbe sake of enjoying life iu Paris, and other places where enjoyment is to be had and he won't have any more state business to worry him if he can help it Austria has punished the radical Muscovite Govern ment uj prouiumng me import of Servian cattle, thus ruining Servia's greatest indus try. The farmers and peasants are in conse quence prepared to kick the Ministry into the Danube at the first opportunity. The game is, of course, really being played by Bussia and Austria, and the balance of European opinion points to the former as me eventual winner. HIS OWN ATTORNEY.

A leading American "hotel sneak" has been arrested this week in London who gives the name of Thomas H. McLean and Baldwin. He is tbe most respectable of scoundrels in appearance, dresses in the height of fashion and wears jewels that are genuine. His method is to make acquaint ances on the transatlantic steamers, learu about their valuables, and, obtaining rooms near bis victim's in the best hotels, await op portunities for plnnder. Perhaps he is the man vho robbed Mujor Pond at the Savoy Hotel. The Major left his coat, in the pockets ot which were 100, in his bedroom while he engaged himself in his bath. Durintr his absence some one entered his bedroom'and took 70 from the roll, leaving the Major 30 to do business with. Mc Lean, or Baldwin, was arrested at the Hotel Metropole, and the police have been anxious searching for some American who would be able to recognize him as a criminal, in order that he may get the full benefit of the law.

AN AWFUL EXPLOSION. er A NITRO.GLYCERINE FACTORY LETS GO WITH TERRIFIC EFFECT. Cities Forty Miles Away Shook as With an Earthquake Trees Cut In Two The Factory Reduced to Kindling Wood A Hole Big Enough to Bury a City Block. tSFECIAL TELEQBAU TO THE DI8PATCH.1 Findlat, O., June 14. At 2:30 this morning everybody in this city was awak ened by a tremendous shock that rocked every building, breaking windows in many places. It was found to be the ex plosion of the Casterine Iron Com pany's nitro-glycerine works, situate four miles east of the city. A correspond ent from the scene reports a hole in the ground large enough to take in a four-story business block, while the factory, reduced to kindling wood, is scat tered for a mile in every direction. No one was in or about the works and hence there was no loss of lite. An idea of the explosion may be estimated when it is said five tons of nitro-glycerine went up. The loss to machinery and apparatus is $4,000. The dirt in the hole was thrown out in large chunks showing the tremendous force of the explo sion. The factory-was situated in the midst of a wooden tract, and immense trees were cut in two by the force of the explosion. Specials from all points in Northwestern Ohio show that tbe shock was felt for over 40 miles in every directions, and was gener ally attributed to an earthquake. It was distinctly perceptible in Toledo. A GIGANTIC CORPORATION Organized to Carry on tbe Entire Badness of the Country. Tbenton, N. J., June 14.

ETVE CENTS. - 1 Shown to the Memory of Ex-Speaker Eandall by the House. THE DEAD MAFS FAMILY SHOCKED 7 ths Utter Indifference Manifested by Former Friends, MEAGER RETUBXS FROM THE CENSUS. Capital Society Agitated by tbe lbrrlage of Hiss Caldwell to a Barns. Only about 30 Congressmen listened to the eulogies pronounced upon Samuel J. Ean dall yesterday. The family of the dead, statesman was present in the House and shocked by the indifference displayed. Less attention was paid than on any similar occasion. trnoit A stavt corbespondent.i Washington, June 14. The House set apart 'to-day for eulogies on ex-Speaker Bandall, but it was a sad and significant commentary on this order that so few of the members were proud to do him honor. It is doubtful if upon any similar occasion so little interest was ever taken in the cere monies of respect to the dead as that mani fested to-day. When the hour of 1 o'clock arrived there was a very respectable attend ance. Immediately upon the announce ment by the Speaker that tbe special order should go into effect, so many members left the House that by actual count only 35 were present when Mr. O'Neill arose to pay his tribute of respect to his distinguished colleague. The members leaving the House did not return during the day. The galleries con tained less than 200 people, and at least 40 ot this number were in the press gallery. In the members' gallery was Mrs. Bandall, in deep mourning, accompanied by her daugh ters, Mrs. Lancaster and Miss Bandall, and her son, Samuel J. Bandall, Jr. A few personal friends of the family were with her. They listened in mute emotion to the delivery of the eulo gies, many of which were read Dy the speakers in a perfunctory manner. The ex ception to this rule was the concise, well expressed and well delivered extemporane ous tribute of John Dalzell, whose address received many compliments. One address was read by the Clerk of the House. That the American House of Bepresenta tives should thus show contempt to the memory of its ex-Speaker and one of its most brilliant leaders is. considered very ex traordinary, to say the least. Such a spec tacle as was presented to-day was never seen before, ana it is difficult of explanation. It was not political discourtesy, for the Demo crats were equally lacking in respect with the Bepublicans, so much the more shame to them. Tbe members of the Bandall family were shocked and grieved with the action of tbe members in absenting themselves, and, strange to say, those very members who in life were very close to Mr. Bandall, were most conspicuous by their absence.

It authorizes the Secre tary of the Treasury, by and with the consent of the President, to negotiate with the company for a settle ment of its indebtedness, and to make such settlement thereof as shall be, in the judg ment of the Secretary, with the approval of the President, for the best interests of the Government. Upon the receipt of such sum as may thus be agreed upon, the Secretary is to ex ecute to the company an acquittance iu full of its obligations to the Government arising out of the advance by the Government to the company of bonds to aid in the construction of the road. It is provided, however, that nothing in the act shall affect any right the government nas or may thereafter have to recover against the company, its officers, employes or agents by reason of any act un lawfully done in connection with the original construction of the road. TOWN SITES IN at.artta, The Honse Bill Will Prorlde for the De velopment of the Territory. "Washington, June 14. Beuresentative Payson, of Illinois, to-day reported to the House from the Committee on Pu$lie Lands a substitute for the .Senate bill for the ac quisition of land for town sites and commer cial purposes in Alaska. The committee, in an accompanying "report, says that -while the Senate r bill proposes partial relief, it believes that it does not go far enough. The report refers to tbe fact that during the 23 years that Alaska has been in the possession of the United States there. has been, with the exception of the extension of the mining laws, absolutely no legisla tion tending to encourage its development or afford protection for the investment of their capital and labor to the several thou sand Americans there.

CFROM A STATT COKBEsrONDEKT. Washington, June 14. The swell wed ding which is now more than all other ones of the near future exciting the interest of the cream of fashionable society is that of Miss Lina Caldwell to Baron Yon Zedtwitz. Miss Caldwell is the young millionairess who gave a million or so of dollars toward founding tbe new Catholic University, the first great building of which has been re cently occupied. The beautiful chapel of the University owes its entire existence to the munificence of Miss Caldwell, and be fore its altar the ceremony of marriage will be unostentatiously performed next Tuesday morning. It will be remembered that Miss Gwendo len Caldwell, a sister of the bride to be, re cently created a sensation all over the civilized-world by first offering to marry Prince Murat and settle a comfortable annuity on him, and then promptly throwing his royal nibs overboard when he objected to the size of the annuity. Miss Gwendolen will be present at the wedding of her sister, and it is evident that Miss Lina will not absorb all the attention, as all "society" appears to be anxious to set eves on one American girl who had the trood sense to give the sack to a prince. Miss Lina weds a young German baron who has been well known in 'Washington society for years as an attache of the German Embassy and who has recently been given the higher liplomatlc 'honor of German Minister to the Bepublic of Mexico. 'The two sisters are now in New York. The Baron has not yet arrived from Europe, but is expected to land in time lor the wedding. Though the sisters are lavish in their ex penditures they do notallow themselves to be jockeyed in a business transaction. Two or three years ago society was shocked to hear that a florist had brought snit against them for a flower bill amounting to many hundreds of dollars, and extending over the whole of the fashionable season. They re fused to'pay because they believed the bill, was exorbitant, and did not shrink from a hearing in court. The matter was finally compromised. MERELY A FORMALITY. The Exact Status of AIcKeesport's Famous Comedy of Errors. rnsoM a STArr correspondent. 1 Washington, June 14. The with drawal of the name of Edwin Soles as a candidate for the postmastership at Ho lt eesport was merely a formality, and of no importance whatever as affecting the con firmation of Elmer Soles, which was certain from the time his name was sent to tbe Sen ate. It was necessary to get tbe name of Edwin Soles off the roll of nominations that it might be shown it had been disposed of in some way, and that is all there was of it. The occurrence will neither hasten or re tard the confirmation ot Elmer Soles, which would have taken place before this if it could have been reached. It is liable to take place at any of the executive sessions of the near future. MEAGEB CENSUS BETUBNS.

Old Iron Mines to be Again Worked by His Improved Process. SPECIAL TELEQBAU TO TUB DISFATCH.1 Middleto'WN, N. Y., June 14. Mr. Thomas A. Edison, the renowned inventor, is the President of a joint stock company that is engaged upon a work of extra ordinary moment to the iron min ing interests ot this district, in cluding Orange and Kockland coun ties, N. Y., and Sussex and Warren counties, N. J. The association is styled the New Jersey and Pennsylvania Concen trating Company, and is organized for the purpose of applying Mr. Edison's newly invented magnetic ore-separating process to the concentration and reduction of the ores of- the region indicated. The place selected by the company lor beginning operations is at the old Ogiten iron mines, about two miles south of Ogdensburg sta tion, on the Snsquehanna and Western Bailroad. These mines were opened as early as 1772 and were long worked profitably, producing a magnetic ore of superior quality. In course of time the ore deteriorated in qual ity to tbe degree that the work of mining and smelting it by the ordinary processes in vogue was no longer profitable, and operations were discontinued in 1872. The principal vein of ore at these mines extends over two miles in length, and is practically inexhaustible. The Edison Concentrating Company'bought the mines last tall. The works are equipped with elaborate and costly machinery. DONT AGREE WITH THEM. Somo of Buflalo Bill's Indians Return From Europe In Bnd Shape, rSFXCTAL TELBOBAII TO THE SISrATCH.1 New Yobk, June 14. Five red Ameri cans of the Dakota tribe of Sioux, who have been assisting Buffalo Bill, got here to-day on the steamship Saale. They oame in the steerage with a lot of foreigners. One of them, a tall, lithe limbed buck of 18, was so ill that General O'Beirne, who is an old plainsman and understands tbe Sioux language, had him sent to Bellevue Hospital. His right arm from tl-e wrist to the elbow is badly ulcerated. The arm according to the hospital surgeon, who ex amined it, looks as if it had been broken and not properly attended to. It gave the yonng Indian great pain, which he bore with smiling stoicism. Beside this ailment he has consumption. His name is Kill-His-Pony. None of the Indians looked as if he had had an altogether pleasant time abroad. All but Kill;His-Pony, wjio probably will never come out of Bellevue alive, will start to-morrow to join their tribe at Pine Bidge Agency. Kill-His-Pony bad a se vere hemorrhage just after landing at the barge office. A Temporary Restrnlnlng Order. Chicago, June 14.

Another important "original package" decision was delivered yesterday. The United States Circuit Court Judge in Kan sas released dealers arrested by the State authorities, whom he declared had no juris diction. It was also held that the packages could be as small as desired. rSFECIAL TELEOBAX TO THE DISPATCH. 3 Leavenwobth, June 14. In the United States Circuit Court here to-day, Judge Caldwell delivered an opinion in the habeas corpus proceedings, in which 11 different persons were arrested for selling liquor in original packages in violation of the State prohibitory law. These cases were where persons were acting as agents for liquor houses of Missouri in various KansaB cities, and were selling liquor in small packages. They were arrested and were about to be tried in the State courts, when habeas cor pus proceedings to have them released from custody were begun, which ended in a de cision in their favor to-day. Jndge Cald well's decision is substantially as follows: THE LAW IN THE CASE. Every question of law raised in these cases has been decided by tbe Supreme Court of the United States. That Court in a recent deci sion, says: fTbat ardent spirits, distilled liquors, ale and beer are subjects or exchange, barter, and traffic, like any otber commodity in which a right of traffic is recognized by the usages of tbe commercial world, tbe laws of Congress, and the decision courts is not denied. Being thus articles of commerce can a State. In tbe absence of legislation on tbe part of Congress, prohibit tbeir importation f rum abroad or from a sister State or wben imported prohibit their sale by tbe importer." These questions tbe Court answers in the negative. Havinga right to make such sales under tbe Constitution of tbe United States as construed by the Supreme Court of tbe United States any imprisonment of them for doing tbe act is in violation of the Constitution of the United States and illegal, and this Court has the jurisdiction and it is made its duty to dis charge any person so illegally held in custody, A QUESTION OF SIZE. A question was raised in tne argument as to whether the smallness of some of the packages sold by some of tbe petitioners did not deprive thorn of protection given to venders of original packages. Single tottl'S if beer and whisky, packed and sealed or nailed up Li boxes made of pasteboard or wood, were shipped and sold in that shape. The boxes containing one bottle were not packed in any other box, but shipped singly and separately as so many distinct and separate packages. xt is not perce?a wny. in tne aosence oi a regulation by Congress to the contrary, tbe im porter may not determine for himself the form and size of the packages he puts up for export. The idea that mull packages of liquor cannot be treated as original packages because they are small, springs trnni tbe conviction back of it that liqnor in any form or in any size pack age is not a legitimate subject of commerce. That question is put at ret by the decision of the Supreme Court of tbe United States un til Congress shall act. As long as packages of liquor may lawfully be sold by tbe importer or his agent in a Prohibition State the size ot tbe package is not of much consequence, whether the packages be largo or small THE PBACTICAIi EFFECT will be to seriously impair the efficiency of all laws intended to protect society from the evil of tbu liqnor traffic That it was foreseen this would be the consequence of tbe decision of tbe Supreme Court. Mr. Justice Gray In bis dissenting opinion anticipated as a result of tbe decision of tbe Court tbe very state of mines now conironnng tne people oi tnis State. He says: "If the statutes of a State restricting or prohibiting tbe sale of intoxicat ing liquors within its territory are" held to be inoperative and void as applied to liquor sent or brought from another State and sold by tbe importer in what are called original packages; tbe cousequence must be that an inhabitant of any State may, under the pre text of inter-State commerce and without license or supervision of any public authority. carry or send into, and sell in any or all of tbe other States of tbe the Union, intoxicating liquor of whatever description, in cases or kegs or even In single bottles or flasks, despite any legislation of these States on the subject; and although his own State should be the only one which had not enacted similar laws." THE ONLY BEMEDT. The answer of the Court to this suggestion is that Congress, and Congress alone, can provide a remedy for the evil so forcibly stated by tbe minority or the court. Tbe Court said: "The responsibility is upon Congress, and so far as the regulation of inter-State commerce Is con cerned to remove tbe restriction upon the State in dealing with imported articles of trade within its limits, which have not been mingled with tbe common mass of property therein. If In its judgment tbe end to be secured justifies and requires such action." I do not sit here either to make or to dissolve tbe law, but to enforce it, regardless of my own views of its policy or Justice. It is to the Leg islature, and not to the judicial department of the Government, that the people of tbis and all otber States must look for relief against the evils of the sale of liquor in original imported packages by the importer or bis agents. Tbe several petitioners must be discharged. MORE OF THE SrECHELL MATTER. Woodstock's Chief of Police Thinks He Has n Valuable Clew. Lockpobt, N. Y., June 14.

Alter iuiuwwm, there a while they agreed to start for home, and as they came from under the shelter lightning struck it, and Joseph Speaks, aged 18, and Lish Wilson, colored, aged 15, were killed. Blanton Speaks was badlv burned about the face, and one of his eyes forced from its socket and hung down on his cheek. Edward Kennedy was also stunned and dazed, and knew nothing for several hours, although able to walk home, a distance of two miles. When he arrived home he was asked about the other boys, but was unable to talk or give any account of them. After awhile Blanton Sneaks was seen coming, and he was so disfigured that his family supposed that he had been in a fight. All he could say was "The trough" (meaning tbe other boys could be found in the trough), and he, has since been unconscious and will probably die. A searching party was sent out about 10 o'clock and the two dead boys were found where he indicated. This morning Ken nedy is able to talk and says he remembers putting the three boys in the trough, be lieving them all to be dead, as they were as limber as rags. IT ROBE TO THE SECOND FLOOR. A Miniature Johnstown FIoouTStrlkes Rock ford, III. BocKFOED, III., June 14. At least $500,000 worth of property was destroyed in this eity and vicinity last night. Never since 1857, when the waters" rose and over whelmed nearly all the city of Rockford, has such a disastrous flood visited this section as that of last evening. For three hours the rain fell in torrents, and in a sur prisingly short time every street was a turbulent river. The creeks swelled, and in a moment devastating floods were sweeping through the Kent and Keith creek valleys. Each creek drains an immense territory, and from every side came contributions to tbe water until the creeks had become destructive torrents, reaching up into first stories of residences, driving the occupants of houses from their beds. On Cedar street the scene was awful. Men, women and children were out in the rain, many weeping and wringing their hands, and all excited. It was a miniature Johns town flood and somewhat similar in many respects. All the lower parts of the city were flooded, and hundreds of people rendered homeless. All tbe railway companies suffer heavily, and every bridge over Kent and Keith creeks was swept away. DESTRUCTION BY WATER AT JOITET. A Widowed Lady's Honse and Contents All Lost In the Flood. Joliet, TxIj., June 14.

This morning people in the southern portions moved out in boats. Ontbouses are, floating around, and men and boys are sailing about on rafts and in boats. An old widow living near Hickory Creek was rescued just as her house was carried away. It lodged on the Second avenne bridge, where it was dashed to pieces and the furniture and everything was earned away. Killed White Cutting Grass. L0UI8VIXI.B, Ky., June 14.

The conventions held by theBe publican party in this county for the past few years have been to the discredit of the party and calculated to create differences which, sooner or later, will tend to injure the organ ization, umess correciea;ana Whereas. Not alone have they been discred itable to tbe party, but it baa become a notori ous fact that no man can be a candidate for of fice unless be spends more money to secure the nomination than all tbe fees received from the office for even a term of three years would amount to; and Whereas. This evil has become of such a gigantic character that delegates are bought and sold openly like so much merchandise; therefore, be It Resolved, That in order to correct what baa grown to be not only a disgrace bat an evil on tbe body politic, a committee consisting ot one from Pittsbnrg (middle district), one from the Soutbside, one from Allegheny, one from the townshios and one from the boroinrhn mem bers of this committee, be appointed to forma lata a set of rules for tbe future government of tbe primary elections of tbe Republican party of tbis county, whereby tbe elector will have an opportunity of voting direct for tbe candi date for office, better known as tbe Crawford county system.
