The worst feature of a flood is the fact that the river is apt to leave a de- posit of sand, varying in thickness from one inch to ten feet, over a large extent of land that was formerly fer- tile. In the flood of 1858 a great many farmers in the American bottom in Missouri on going back to their premises after the subsidence of the waters found their property covered with river sand in beds so thick that two or three years elapsed before good crops could be raised. In England the ‘‘collegce by past” wystem has enrolled about 4000 students and over 200 teachers.

His physique was by no means robust; he bad the stoop of a student, and the tra- ditional spectacled face of a German physician. Yet he was in reality a man of heroic courage and unquestionable force of character. He did not start across the continent of Africa with brass horns, reporters, and hired mer- cenaries, but recruited his soldiers from the savages themselves.

The Difficulty Now Confronting the Co- ; lumbian Exposition Managers. It cost £30.000,000 to make the World's Fair at Chicago. The officials would like to know just how much it will take to un- make it. The Fair officiais are under a bond of ¥1,000,000 to have all the buildings and other appurtenances removed and the park returned to its former condition by January 1, 1894. ; To do this 1s now practically impossible, and they have asked the park commission ers for at least six months’ ex ension of the time, and if possible 12 mouths. This re- quest wi!l be granted probably, but there are other difficulties. The buildings are so large that it will be an expensive and in some particularsdangerous task totear them down. Contractors who have looked at the Manufacturers building, which covers 3L acres, say that the man whorazes it will have to be as skijlful as the architect who planned it. Still there will be more salvage from the Manufaciurers’ building than any other. Many contratcors say there 1s very little materia! in the buildings worth hand- ling. Entire Families Die.

The Oregon, the Most Powerful Vessel In the American Navy is Launched. Shortly before noon the battleship Oregon first vessel of her class contructed on the Pacitic slope, was launched from the ways at the Union Iron Works, San Francisco, in the presence of one of the greatest crowds of people that ever assembled there to wit- ness a similar event. The Jaunch was entirely successful, and the new battleship now liesin a little lagoon in front of the nion iron works awaiting her completion, which will be pushed as rapidly as possible. The Oregon is what is technically known as a sea-going coastline battleship, and is the most powerful ship in the United States Navy. Her dimensions are: Length over all, 348 teet; load water line, 320 feet; breadth, 54) feet 3 inche-; draught, 24 feet; displace- ment, 10,298 tons: maximum horse power 9,- 000. She will havea maximum speed of 16.2 knots and will carry a crew oft 460 men. Her cost, exclusive of armament, is &4,000,- 200. The armament consists of four 13-inch, eight 8inch and four 6-inch breech-loading rifles; also a secondary battery of one 26- pounder and six 1-pounder rapid firing guns, two gatling guns and six torpedo tubes. The 13-inch and 8-inch guns are mounted in turrets. The Oregon armor is very heavy. There is a belt of steel from 3 feet above the load water line to 44 feet below it, extending 196 feet amidships, protecting the engines and boilers. Above this belt is another, five inches thick extending to the main deck. From the ends of the 18-inch belt, to the extremities of the ship isa protective deck three inches thick. and auother armored deck 2% inches thick. The turrets for the 13-inch guns are in two parts. under a redoubt 17 inches thick, and above this is an inclined armor of the same thickness. The 8-inch turrets are similarly built with inclined armor varying from 8} to 6 inches in thickness. There is also a complete system of coal protection, cellular, sub-division and gun shields.Under the engines and boilers are four bottoms and double bottoms elsewhere, The coal capacity at the designed draught is 400 tons but the bunker capacity is 1,800 tons. ——— ms BRIGHT HOPES FOR BUSINESS The Promise of the Early Passage of the Bilver Repeal Bill Injects Fresh Life Into Trade. R. G. Dun & Co.’s Weekly Trade says: Port is in sight after a long and stormy voyage, and the prospect of a speedy end of the struggle over silver repeal has brought, bright hopes to business. Stocks climbed rapidly for three days, banks relaxed re- straints, commercial loans are more freely, sought and made, and reports from all quar- ters show the prevalence of a more hopeiul feeling. This of itself tends to produce some revival of consumption and of industry, which, nevertheless, has made but moder- ate progress as yet. It is still too soon to expect much effort in trade and manufactures, and though mone- tary obstacles are to a large extent removed,’ there still remain other legislative questions which create uncertainty. A fact of real encouragement is that rail4 way earnings for the third week of October show increase of 3 per cent. over last year, the first increase for a longtime. Notwith? standing the large sales, the markets con- tinued unusually strong, As yet there is seen only a continuance of the faint and slow increase in distribution of products which has been, noticed for some weeks. Nor does even this gradual revival in demand extend to all branches. The New York banks still accumuiate money, and commercial loans are more largely asked and obtained. This enables merchants to take goods out of bond and may increase customs receipts, which have amounted in 25 days of October to $10,208.- 091, against $16,266,559 for the full month last year. Apparently the month's de- crease will be about 25 per cent. Internal revenue has been better maintained in the same time, $11,052,528, against $14,152,891 tor the full month last vear. The number and magnitude of failures decreased Jess than hai een expected, the liabilities in three wecks of October amount- ing to $15,072,920, against about $7,000,000 f: r the same weeks last year. This week there have been 352 failures in the United States, against 187 last year, and 44 in Can- ada against 20 last year. A BIG STEAMSHIP WRECKED. The City of New York Struck <he Rocks at Point Bonita. The Pacific Mail steamship City of New Yor: which sailed from San Francisco, Taursday afternoon, went on the rocks at Point Bonita in a dense fog. She will prol ably be a total wreck. Point Bonita is at the entrance of the Golden Gate on the nor hern side. Tne City of New York sailed at 3:30 in the afternoon on her voyage to China and Japan. About 5 o'clock the booming of her cannon couid be heard, and distress signal rockets cou'd be seen as they burst above the fog. Soon every tug in the bay was racing for I'oint Bonita, On arriving there it was found that the steamer was hard and fast on the rocks, having gone on them under a full head of steam. The ves- sel 1aust have got close in shore us she was passing out, and the tide carrying her out of her course threw h ron the rocks and turned tke magnificent shipinto a wreck. There is eight feet of water in her hold and the tugs cannot move her. All the passen- zers have been taken off and safely landed. The most of the cargo will be a total loss, Estimates place the value of the vessel and tier cargo at over $500,000. The vessel car- ried no surance. Review d THE CROP BULLETIN. Favoroble for Wheat in Pennsylvania Ohio and West Virginia. The October crop bulletin issned at Wash ington contains the following from state agents respzcting their localities: Pennsylvania—Quality of wheat ‘‘fair,’’ ryeabout the same and oats ‘excellent.’ Barley, a poor yield of inferior quality. Irish potatoes rather scarce, butof good size and very good quality. Late tobacce has been benefited slightly by the {all rains. West Virginia-—In yield and gnality wheat, rye and oats are all very good. Average condition of buickwheat rather poor, owing to the extreme drouth at time of sowing. In most cases it seems to have fiiled very well, but the straw is so short that in many places it will be difficult or impossible to save the crop. The heavy storm of August 25 blew down corn all over the state, damaging both corn and fodder to a great extent. Ohio—Wheat crop all that could be ex- pected, both in quality and quantity. le- ports from threshing indicate a crop above average 1n bushels per acre. (onpled with this is a light acreage. Barley was damaged by rains. Corn light and much will not be 2lassed as merchantable. Potatoes are lit- tle, if any, more than a half crop.

THE MAYOR MURDERED. ei CARTER HARRISON, OF CHICAGO ——minmtl .8hot in His Home. Crime of a Crank. A Disappointed Applicant for Office the Assassin. tree rl err CARTER Harrisox,world’s tair mayor of Chicago, lies dead in his palatial home in that city killed by an assassin’s bullet just as the great exposition, in which he took sc much pride, was closing. He was killed by a disappointed applicant for office. At 7:15 Saturday even'ng a mar ran up the steps of Mayor Harrison's residence, 231 South Ashland boulevard and rang the bell. A woman servant answered the bell. and the man asked for Mr. Harrison. She said she would cail bim. She passea back through the hall leaving the outside door open. A moment later Mr Harrison stepped from the parlor into the hall. In an instant the man had drawn a revolver and fired. the shot entering the ad- domen just above the navel. Two more shots rang out, the first entered Mr. Harri- son’s body just under the left arm and pen- etrated the heart. When the first shot was fired Mr. Harrison had started toward the door and was within a few feet of his assassin when the second shot struck him. He was so close when the bullet left the gun that the leaden missile shattered on the knuckles of the left hand and the powder burned the flesh. After the last shot was fired the mayor stepped into the parlor and started towards thedining room. He had taken buta few steps, however, when he fell intothe but- ler's arms. The servant led him to the rear of the house. His son, Preston Harrison,who was upstairs at the time of the shooting.ran down and was at his father’s side inan in- stant. Mr. Harrison said: and cannot live.” The assassin was soon caught and gave his name as Patrick Eugene Prendergast. He is probably insare. He was employed as newsboy for the evening Post and Intei- Oceai and lives at 609 Jane street with his mother and brother John. When asked why he killed the mayor, he replied: ‘Because my conscienc so dictated He promised 10 make me corporation conn- sel, but kept putting me off afier he found cut that I was in favor of elevating the railroad tracks. Harrison stands in with the railroads. and 1 considered it to be my duty to remove him before any more people were slaughtered by the railroads.” Mayor Harrison was conscious to the ast. His death occurred [5 minutes after the shots were fired. lis last words were fare- well to his children and a message to Miss Annie Howard, the young lady who was to have been his bride on November 16. At midnight the police removed Prender- gast over on the North Side to the country jail under a heavy guard. Miss Howard was in the house at the time the fatal shot was fired. In accordance with the wounded man’s request she was at once summoned to his side and was present when the end came. When it became evi- dent that Mr. Harrigon could not survive his injuries and could not live but a few min- utes at most, Miss Howard's grief was piti- able She was completely overcome and was lel away by {friends who feared for the effect upon her oj her grief. She was taken in a<losed carriage to the home of Carter H. Harrison, Jr.,where she spent the night. The quesiion of Mr. Harrison's successo: to the mayoralty is in some doubt although according to the law the corporation coun- sel will undoubted!y take charge for the present. Early Sunday morning a coroner's jury was summoned and an inquest held at the Harrison residence. ‘The jury found that death resulted from shock and hemorrhage caused from bullets fired from a revolver in the hands of Patrick Eugene Prendergast. The verdict recommended that Prendergast be held for murder. ~ During the inquest Deputy Coroner Kel- ley asked Prendergast if a he had a state- ment to make, but the prisoner refused to speak. “I am shot, Preston, SKETCH OF HIS CARKER.

He was re-elected and in 1879 was chosen neayor of Chicago, which office he filled for iour terms. He left the office to take a trip around the world accompanied by his two 80S, bunt as soon as he returned he again began to dabbie in politics and in 1891 ran for mayor as an independent against De Witt C. Creiger, the regular Democratic nominee, who was standing for re-election and Hempstead Washburne, Re- publican. I'he three cornered fight resulted in tne election of Washburne. Again he tried for the mavoralty this year, his great ambiuon being to be the world’s fair mayor.

Mrs. Cleveland was then inexperienced and did not know what a baby required. But this baby has had all the advantages of Mrs. Cleve- land’s experience with Ruth, and has enjoyed the benefit of the fine mate- rials, such as flannels, woolen goods, soft silks and the like, which have been sent to Mrs. Cleveland to be made up into baby clothes. In this outfit there are outing cloaks all white, and they are of six different materials. One is of fine white flannel, . of lined with white 7 silk. IY falls in gathers from the neck, and it has very full sleeves, which are finished with a silk ruffle. The neck of the cloak has a silk" ruffie around it high at the back of the neck and tapering to a very nar- row frill under the chin. This is done out of regard to the comfort of baby’s neck. The other white cloaks are respectively of corded silk, eider down, broadcloth, satin, and there is one soft crepe cloth lined with wool. They are all deliciously soft, and there is not one among them which weighs as heavy as the ordinary cloak which is in the outfit of every work- a-day child. You could take them all and roll them into a bundle, small enough to fit in a lady’s hand satchel. And the bundle would be as soft as a pillow of down. This is one of Mrs. Cleveland's hobbies.

SExATE.—In the senate to-day speeches apon the silver purchase bill were made by hree Senators from silver States—Jones ind Stewart, of Navada, and Teller, of Col- srado. All of these speeches were, how- ver, ip continuation of some that had been begun weeks ago, and all of them went yver to-day with an arrangement to be sontinued at some future time. Not the slighest attention was paid to them by the few Senators who came and went and there were only two attempts made to secure the attendance of a quorum. The legislative fiction of a continuous day's session to be recorded, as of last Tuesday, was carried on by a recess this evening instead of an ad- jowrnment. The recess is until 10:30 to- morrow morning. Hovsr—7The public printing bill.a resolu- tion distributing £237,000 now held by the receiver of the Mormon Church for charit- able purposes and a bill appropriating $175,000 to construct a revenue cutter for service on the great Jakes were passed by the House to day.

SexaTe——-The Senate spent nearly seven hours in session tu-day, bunt did not reach the end of the legislative day of Tuesday, October 19. Almost the whole time was consumed in discussing the silver purchase repeal bill. The House bill authorizing the construction of a bridge across the Hudson river between New York and New Jersey, was reported from the committee on Com: merce and placed on the calendar. The Urgency Deficiency appropriation bill was reported back from the Committee on Ap- propriations and ordered printed. At 5:45 the senate took a recess until 11 o'clock to- morrow.
