The Now Hampshire legislaturemeets next Wednesday, and will electa senator. The chances forChandlerare not as bright as they were, although,he is up to the standard as a plutocrat.

Tire New York Herald evidently re-fers to Lydia Thompson as an actressin tights sixty-five years old. The timelias been when the horsewhip was in-voked for less impertinent allusions tothis lady. .

Tire Democrats in Ohio are holdingtheir county conventions preliminary tothe state convention, and it is noticeablethat they invariably indorse the lateadministration and the St. Louis plat-form. Tariffreduction is stronger thanit was last year.

a»Gen. Boynton, the veteran Washing-

ton correspondent, is credited with caus-ing the rapid withdrawal of Tucker.He drew a vivid picture before the mindof the president, impelled mainly by hisdislike to Blame and the opportunityafforded to get a thrust at him.

Mrs. Howell predicts that womenwill get their rights early in the twenti-eth century, but a couple ofdecades or sois a good deal on a woman's age lookingforward. It shrinks looking back. Itis to be hoped that the girls who aresaid to make >"2 shirts for four cents willnot have to wait so long for their rights.

There has been no denial of thestatement of the New York Sun thatPresident Harrison, at the centennialcelebration, drank whisky and cham-pagne, and handled his glasses like anexpert. As bis election was due to theNew York liquor dealers, it might be

taken as a very palatable recognition ofthat fact.

—\u25a0

At the recent annual meeting of theliquor dealers* association in New York,the official repoit contained the state-ment that the organization had con-tributed materially to the defeat ofWarner "Miller as governor. Its ef-forts also insured the state to Harri-son, whether that was a definite part ofthe programme or not.

IfSenator Farwell, of Illinois, isin earnest in proposing to join handswith his colleague and return the "blowbetween the eyes" administered to thelatter by the administration, thereshould be no discouragement, as therewill be no sufferers outside of theparticipants, and the public would en-joy a little circus of that sort.

The family feature of the administra-tion is spreading among the highmucks. Senator Spooner has got abrother a 55,000 job; Lynch, the coloredstatesman, has. got a sister-in-law at thehead of a bureau: Blame has put oneor two of his people in fresh places; andquiet chances are being found for manyof those who have kindred in power.The sixrelatives of the White house arefigured as drawing $.0,000.- ~'y

Co l. Shepard, the good New Yorkeditor, made war on the Sunday stage•coaches on Fifth avenue, and reportedto the Presbyterian general assemblythat he had reformed them into quies-cence, and assured the preachers thatthe eire ulation of the Sunday papershad greatly fallen off. The assemblylias adjourned, the stages run as ever,and the papers print full quotas forSunday. But Sheuard still printsScripture over his editorials.

Blame is said to look with great dis-gust upon the prankish bucolicism ofJerks' Rusk riding on a hay cart andswinging a scythe. James hears thebuzzing bee in the bonnet of the agri-cultural statesman. He has seen thetime when he could stand up for hoursat the country fairs, while the motherspassed up the babies to be kissed; butnow he doesn't respond when "Jim" iscalled, and freezes any old admirer whoslaps him on the back.—Itis stated that when congress con-venes, Wanamaker and his railwaycoadjutor, Bell, will be called upon toexplain to a committee the nature ofthe emergency that required the ap-appointmentof 1,500 railway mail clerkson the last day or two of Apriltofore-stall their examination under the civilservice rules that became operative onthe first day of May. It has been shownthat old clerks were not generally rein-stated, and that the pretense about thegood of the service was false..

:—>•\u25a0

Editor Shepard, who stands out inthe moral nigritude of the New Yorkpress as the conspicuous religious light,lias been discussing the question "Canan editor be a Christian?" His conclu-sion is that in the weekly press the af-firmative of the interrogatory has theeasier*, and more numerous response,and yet in nearly every daily paperthere are one or more on the editorialstaff who are religiously good, and whoserve as the quiet leaven. Without fol-lowingany analysis of this sort, it maybe insisted that .the"; press does its fullshare of the practical work of Christian-izing . the world, with little care fordogmas orparade ofits virtue.

' , ... •*The czar is the head of about the only

"European go ment that is able to

stand up squarely against the liberaliz-ing tendencies of the age and ignore thepopular voice. He is not comfortablein that attitude, and needs a railroad toSiberia to take away those who wouldlike to killhim. \u0084 A striking picture wasthat the other day of the . emperor ofGermany admonishing those who hademployed the striking workmen thatthey had a duty to perform to the state,and must use every effort to provide forthe welfare of the men. The zeal ofthegovernment for the passage of '' themeasure forrelief of invalid workmenis on the same line. In Great Britainthe Radical motion in parliament toabolish hereditary succession in thehouse of lords narrowly fails, and willassuredly prevail in the early future.While the ancient machinery of most ofthe old monarchical systems remains,the popular voice is permeating thestructures, and its intonations have aconstantly growing distinctness.

THE JOHNSTOWN SUFFERERS.When we hear of great calamities in

other parts of the world, of floods inChina, of earthquakes in Japan, of vol-canic eruptions in Southern Europe, ofplagues that depopulate whole districtsin India, we are not impressed withtheir results because they seem so faraway from us.

But it is not so with the Johnstownhorror. Here is a home calamity un-paralleled in its awfulness, and it pro-duces a shock from which we find itdifficultto recover ourselves. There are .those in our midst, our neighbors andfriends, who came from the ill-fatedtown, and it is probable that those whoare nearest related to them by blood tiesare now counted among the victims ofthe disaster. JS_f_|

Many of us have a keen and pleasantrecollection of the thrifty little citynestling in the cosy valley, as we haveoften seen it when passing by on thePennsylvania road. Perhaps nearlyevery farmer in Minnesota is the pos-sessor of some utensil that was turnedout from the iron and steel works atJohnstown. Thus it is we are made tofeel that we had a personal acquaint-ance there. They were, at least, ourhome folks in the sense that they wereour countrymen, with whom we haddirect dealings.

Therefore the heart grows sick as thedetails of the Johnstown flood continueto pour in upon us, and we begin tobetter comprehend the magnitude ofthe calamity. But it is now not so muchthe dead as the survivors who merit oursympathy. The thousands who perishedin the flood are beyond the reach ofhuman aid and human sympathy. Yetthere are thousands of survivors whomwe can help. Some of them may havebeen millionaires a few days ago; buthey are all beggars now, and are sur-rounded by a scene ofdevastation whichhas never before been witnessed onthis continent. There are those whoare nearer to them than we are who areable to aid, but that does not relieve usof the duty of at least making a profferof help. Therefore we suggest that atits regular meeting this morning thechamber of commerce take such actionas it may deem necessary toraise a fundfor the relief of the Johnstown sufferers.

DAKOTA ELECTIONS.There has never been any voting in

Dakota, with some local exceptions, ofinterest enough to draw out the fullvote. This will not be the case at thecoming election, Oct. 1. In North Da-kota the convention has yet to lay outthe programme, but it will comprise

j

about the same as in the South, so faras fillingoffices is concerned, with somedoubt as to certain special incitements.In the South there will be a governorand seven other state officers to elect,twocongressmen, thirty-six state sena-toos and ninety-eight representatives,three supreme court judges, six circuitjudges and a county* judge for eachcounty. These and the novelty of vot-ing just like the people of the stateswould draw out a large vote ; but themustard plaster on the body politic isthe capital question, not to speak of theprohibitory amendment. . A man. whowouldn't come out to vote with all theseinducements would as soon attend thefuneral of his mother-in-law as to go toa circus. The minority amendment isalso to be voted on, and some Republi-cans want it rejected, so as to keepDemocrats from coming out to the elec-tion and have all the fun themselves.They are of the adult swine order. . '..-'"

NOT THE SAME.Eastern papers, and some not very

far East, confuse the Sioux and Sisse-ton reservations, and are likely to mis-lead some of those looking tor homes.The statement is on the newspaper cir-cuit that the Sisseton lands comprise3,500,000 acres, and will be thrown opento settlement at the usual governmentprice as soon as some matters of detailcan be arranged with the Indians. Ifthe new settler could get a quarter orhalf section of those lands in the usualhomestead way, he should not let anygrass grow under his feet in gettingthere. It would be a small bonanza inthe heart of an unsurpassed civiliza-tion. But there are less than 1,000,000acres of these lands, and they cannot beavailable for settlement until action is

had by congress and a deal made withthe Indians. Any one who supposesthese processes have any element ofrapidity in them has been a poor ob-server. A year or two would be reason-ably rapid. The 10,000,000 acres ormore of Sioux lands may be open tosettlement by snow time if the Indianssign the terms as readily as expected.

A GOOD BEGINNING.The Sioux commission seem at last to

be moving toward the field of opera-tions, and, as announced, will strike inat Rosebud, the most southerly agencyin the reservation, perhaps exceptingPine Ridge, on the extreme west. Lessis known generally of these Indiansthan of those further north, where areSitting Bull, John Grass, RedCloud, and the other notables, some ofwhom are kickers from way back.There is -.something in ; names. AtStanding Rock, where the commission,last year, did their first and chief work,they found obstinate old bullheads whodefeated the mission; but at Rosebud, aname inviting to the senses, it is under-stood that the Indians are favorable,and even anxious to sign. A good startthere will be a long ways toward suc-cess. The Indians should understandthat this is their last chance for so lib-eral terms. Their consent willnot beasked if another law shall be needed.

A FINANCIAL PROBLEM.; The difficultypresaged by the Globe

when the Sioux Falls constitution was| under consideration - now ,' confrontsthe people of South Dakota as a condi-tion, not a theory. The! enabling actappropriates $20,000 for the holding ofaconvention, but as the vote of the peo-ple has left almost nothing for it to do.by . ordinary processes there is - littlechance to keep $10,000 or more, fromgoing back to Washington, in violationof economical principles and Vgoodusage. The \u25a0 act fixes the per diem ofthe members, but as it is "only $4 mostofthe members do "not ; take ' kindly tothe proposition to keep in session withlawyers , talking .'against : time . till themoney is gone. The most acceptable

proposal seems to be to appoint all theeditors in South Dakota ; clerks of "com-mittees or officers of some sort,; withpost mortem duties suftlcien t to exliausthe appropriation. ; This seems quitefeasible, and will, no Idoubt, havo theunited support of the press.

-^CONTEMPT OF COURT.

The supreme *' court; of • Ohio has re-versed the decree of Judge Puon insentencing Allen O. Marks :to pay afine of$200 arid serve ninety days In jailtor contempt of court. Whereupon theWashington Post suggests that legisla-tion is needed to emphasize the pointthat courts aie not final judges ofcon-tempt against themselves.

We are inclined to the same opinion, -although it is a power that is seldomabused by the courts. But the fact thatit is liable to abuse, and that in a few,instances petulant and spiteful judgeshave made extreme use of the \u25a0 power . :that is vested in the bench to avenge itsslights and insults, only goes to demon-strate the necessity for legislative enact-ment in fixing the limit of punishmentfor contempt. As a rule, the injuredparty is not supposed to sit in impar-tial judgment on his own case; andwhere a judge is smarting under a realor fancied wrong he is . liable to go toofar in a contempt case. Nor is it in ac-cord with the spirit of our institutionsthat unlimited power should be vestedin one man. Therefore there should be,a provision in the code of each stategiving a clear Interpretation of whatconstitutes contempt and limiting thepunishment for the offense.—\u25a0«__•

WHISKY'S COMPETITOR.Ifthis were summer, or there were a

prospect that we were going to haveany summer, we would, probably, bemore interested in Dr. Hammond'sstatement that ice water kills more peo-ple in this country than whisky. Butin the present ' chilly state of theweather nobody in this country ishankering for ice water; and, conse-quently, whisky has the field to itself.

And yet it is well enough to remem-ber what Dr. Hammond says, for if theweather ever does get warm everybodywillbe calling tor ice water. He saysthat the two diseases now prevalent inthis country, and which are most fatal,Bright's disease and paralysis, are bothproduced by an intemperate use of icewater. And there are very few who donot use itintemperately,for atablespoon-ful is an immoderate quantity, particu-larly when the individual is perspiringwhen the. water is taken into thestomach.

Dr. Hammond says that water fordrinking purposes should never bebelow fifty degrees, for when it is lowerthan that a rude shock is given to thewhole system by gulping down a glass-ful.

WOMEN MINISTERS.The statement that the Ohio female

preacher authorized to perform ; themarriage ceremony took a new depart-ure, and was the first instance of thekind, elicits various facts on the sub-ject. Rev". Piiebe Hanaford statesthat she has married people in threestates and united forty-nine couples.She is a Universalist preacher, and in- .sists that in her denomination there arenearly forty women legally qualified toperform the marriage ceremony, andhundreds of people have enjoyed theirservices, and the law has not set any ofthese aside. In 1870 courts in Massa-chusetts decided that Rev. Olympia

Brown possessed this authority. ".-."."-It.does not appear why there should everhave been any question raised on thesubject. Where women are ordainedministers this function naturally ; at-taches. In the early history, of Wyo-ming.and perhaps Washington territory,there were female justices who took inlegal fees this way.Women naturally liketo have a good deal to do with theselittle domestic arrangements.

IT CAME WEST.A paper of late date, from the capital

of New Hampshire, berates its moneyedmen for organizing a company with amillion dollars capital to invest in im-provements in the West. It appeals totheir local pride to put theircapital intohome factories and summer resorts fortourists, and plaintively bewails thetendency all over that state to put theirsurplus means into "Western specula-tions," lands, railroads, mines, etc.This, it alleges, has . been the practicefor years, and the state has been de-pleted of its capital and young men tobuild up other sections. The West iscertainly indebted to New Hampshireand other Eastern states for men andmoney, but the advantage has beenmutual. As the paper reminds them oflosses in some instances, probably someinvestments in mines have failed tomeet expectations, but there are abun-dant openings in Western realty in

which there are no contingencies, audthe men who prefer to send their moneyWest act upon motives dictated by'profitable experience.— _s* . '

SAUCE.FOR BOTH.Republicans think it unfair that the

legislature of Indiana should be con-trolled by the Democrats while the pop-ular vote shows a small margin in theirfavor. Itis insisted that the apportion-ment is unjust. The legislature ofRhode Island has just elected a Repub-lican governor, although the Democraticcandidate had several thousand more-votes. Connecticut, has two Repub-licans in the senate, although the stateis Democratic. So has New York,which is generally Democratic on thestate ticket, In neither of these statescould the Democrats carry the legis-lature ifthey had 1,000 popular votes toevery 900 Republican, rlf this were thecondition in any Southern state, Re-publicans would insist that it did: nothave a republican form of government

and needed taking in hand by cbngre ss.It is not designed to apologize for un-fairness in any state, nor insist that anyparty has always been above partisanmethods in such matters; but there is.soot on the pot as well as kettle.

A PUBLIC LOSS.- This state lost a citizen of more than

local repute in the death of Hon. Will-iam Thomas Bonniwell, at Hutchin-son, on the 26th ult. He was known aridesteemed very widely in this state aridWisconsin, having repeatedly servedin the legislatures of , ; both. Hewas born in * New York city in1836, but became a resident ..-\u25a0.' ofMilwaukee three years ' later, residing .there until 1806, when he removed toHutchinson, this state, and has sincelived there. He was elected to the statesenate three times * between *?. 1871 and1881, r and in ; 1877 • was chosen to thehouse. He was one of the most efficientand popular members, and it is said thatfew of his associates had :so many per-sonal friends, or succeeded" so well incarrying measures through.- His mag-netic manner aud kindness "of; heartattached even his political opponents tohim, and all had the utmost confidencein his integrity . and adherence to hisconvictions. McLeod county and thestate have sustained a severe loss in hisdeath. •* _ r

'Blame is said to find apology for theselection ofTucker for the honor ofan important position. The incident

seems to Illustrate the eagerness of the;Republicans . to capture : Confederates,and they seem to have a special affinityfor the men of -most \u25a0: unsavory ;repute.Admitting only what is conceded In therecord of Tucker, it would not bedifficultto hud Republican authority forquite as flagrant acts ; in the ; career ofmen like Chalmers, Mosb and ; Ma-hone. There is more than sublime ob-liviousness when they put on '[ the Re-publican cloak. ,

tm\u25a0 A delegation of the New Hamp- (

shire Republicans went down to Wash-ington to try to get Gen; Pattersonin as fifthi auditor of the treasury, and,

were told to stand around awhile,' as thepresident had some Indiana friends toprovide for first. They were so ill-man****neied as to get out of humor, and seem.to have ' prowled around the _Whitehouse, and when they went home re-ported that the president had five fami-lies ofkindred quartered there. V These .weie the households of 'Ben and SonRussell, and the tribes of the Mc-_______

Saunders aud Scotts. The lat-ter branch was having its quarters-made ready. The house is more thanfull, not counting the red ants or manyrelatives not there yet. The need ofavastly larger White house is evident.—— •**•'Some of the Republican journalshave examined therecords so far tofindthat "no president after having left theWhite house has ever again been re-turned to it." This seems to affordthem relief when they hear Mr. Cleve-land named. A year ago it mighthave been claimed that no grandson ofa president had ever been elected, anda few years earlier it was insisted thatno man with a C in front of his nameever could be elected. It is. not pre-sumed that Mr. Cleveland will be acandidate again, but the fact of his hav-ing been president willnot rule him outor weaken his chances.

STATE GOSSIP.The.Boston Globe has figured out that

there is room for 70,000 families in theSioux reservation, soon to be opened forsettlement. . But some ofthese families,as it thinks, would like to see the an-nouncement coupled with some practi-cal means of raising the scrip to getthere. If the Globe will start a move-ment toraise the scrip, we will under-take to find room in the Sioux reserva-tion for seven - times seventy thousand :families, i But men who are too lazy towork fora living in the East will starveas soon in the West as anywhere else,and shipment to the Sioux reservationdoes not include government rations.—Duluth Herald. : V V

We are afraid Mr. Scheffer's law forpunishing drunkenness will prove a'failure, because, unlike his meat law, itprovides for no inspector. : How "full"must a man be to be drunk? The lawdoes not say. An inspector, authorizedto smell of his breath, make him walk acrack, or say "truly rural" or "innocu-ous deseutude" could easily determinewhether the symptoms were good for astraight drunk, and thus on the hoofspeedily enforce the law.— Hutchinson i

Leader.There is now a definitely settled con-

clusion in St. Paul that the three billsstolen from the files of the legislaturethe last week of its late session (includ-ing the; Duluth & Winnipeg land grant:forfeiture bill) were stolen by a clerk of:the house, who is a country editor, and,-to the credit of the profession be itsaid, jthe only editor in the state mean enoughto do such a thing.—Le Sueur Sentinel.:

HERE AND THERE.

It is alreody evident that Minneapolisand St. Paul are getting ready to pre-sent some wonderful figures as a resultof the next census, and there is a bigfight on hand over the selection of thegentleman who will manipulate thefigures for that state. St. Paul has givenit out - that she proposes to show upmore people : than Minneapolis, andMinneapolis doesn't propose to have itthat way. Altogether the figures whichwillbe sent out from those cities nextyear will be fearfully and wonderfullymade up.—Omaha Dispatch.

A pretty good illustration of the ad-vantage of casting one's bread upon thewaters, is to be found in the action ofSenator Spooner: of Wisconsin, who,some two"years ago got the salary of theconsul toPrague , raised from * $2,000 to

Affairs on the variousdivisions of the Pennsylvania road arein the same bad condition stated inthese dispatches of • yesterday and lastnight.

ten days,or possibly two weeks. To put the roadin the same condition as it was beforethe floods will be the work of years.The first effort will . be to : construct atemporary bridge across the Susque-hanna river, on the Philadelphia & Eriebranch, at Montgomery, to replace theone swept away. This done, itis thought Lock Haven can bereached without delay, probably byTuesday night. Then, \u25a0if the BaldEagle Valley road has not been washedout, the condition ot which, however,is not known, Altoona should be reachedby this route by Wednesday.The water between Middletownand Harrisburg still remains fivefeet . over the track, and thefew trains which are being run betweenPhiladelphia and Harrisburg are takenover the Cornwall & Lebanon road,from Conewago to Lebanon, and thenceby the Philadelphia &Beading railroadtracks to Harrisburg. . Altogether, thereports received so far from the variousdivisions of the road show' that a totalof sixteen bridges have been lost by thecompany.

ALMOST DEAD WITH HUNGER.

A Mad Rush for Provisions by thePeople.

Joiinstown, June 2.—This afternoonGeorge T. Swank, editor of the Johns-town Tribune, received the followingtelegram from Senator Quay, datedBeaver Station, Beaver county : "Drawon me at sight at Beaver Deposit bankfor $500 in aid of your trouble." W. S.Brown, of Pittsburg, of the Ameri-cas Belief corps, to-day notifiedCapt. Kuhn, city solicitor, that thePittsburg Masons stand ready to fur-nish anything that is wanted. The fourtracks of the Pennsylvania railroad be-low the stone bridges are filled withcars for two miles. Hundreds of menand women" are wending their wayfrom Morrellvilleto Johnstown, amongthe cars, and itis pitch dark. No acci-dents,, however, have been reported.The scenes at supper time show thathunger is beginning to drive the suf-fersto desperation.* They surroundedthe freight cars that bad beenfitted up to feed the hungry andshouted for bread. At first thosein charge tossed the provisions into thecrowd, and an awful scramble followed.Children were trampled under foot andwomen were unable to get food, thoughthey need it most. Finally the Alle-gheny and Pittsburg police stopped thethrowing of food and forced the crowdto pass in single file before the cardoors. Then there was no more touble,though little children were crying torbread. "Where's that child withoutstockings?" called out a commit-teeman from a car filled withclothing. There were a dozen shiv-ering little girls in sight, andmany were too poorly clothed to pro-tect them from the weather. It is verycold here to-night. Many a poor womanand her children are suffering, lt isestimated that Councilman JamesWilliams and Undertaker McNultywashed and prepared 250 bodies to-day.The remains at Morrellville are still inthe vacant lot for the night. Manyhave been placed in coffins ready forburial and hauled to the hill tops nearcemeteries. The Hungarinns at-tacked the - cars .standing onthe tracks ";; to-night ' to seizethe clothing and provisions. Onewas turned over to a deputy sheriff byOfficer Monongahela and the rest wereclubbed. The number of persons thatsearched the debris for plunder to-dayis surprising. Poorly-clad laboring menmay be seen carrying away fine orna-mental clocks anil rich bric-a-brac. ' Pi-anos by the dozen are scattered alongthe river, but they are ruined. One ofthe pathetic scenes of the day was aman and wife who drew from a mass ofrubbish a part ofa cradle. They lookedat it a moment in silence and thenfell to weeping in each oth-er's arms for the loved littleone that was gone. William Varner is abroken-hearted man. Of a family often just five aie missing. The Hunga-rians and negroes are causing the mosttrouble. All day long they have beenfillingup with . tue whisky taken fromthe river on Saturday, and to-night theyare in a dangerous mood. The negroesin Johnstown were selling hams, sacksof flour and dress goods for whisky.They actually had the cheek to drive awagon to the rear of a wrecked storeand load it with goods, and were haul-ing it away when stopped.

Fifth ward.They were . worth $30,000. ; Mr. Adair,with : the assistance of Sheriff Steine-man. passed 5,000 people over a pontoonbridge r they had constructed. Hehelped over.- many prominent people,including Judge Potts and • Mr. Me-Conaughy. Ten fine . residences on Lo-cust street, in the rear of . the Cambriacompany's •. works, *"\u25a0 belonging to thatcompany, were destroyed. StephenCollins, of the Piltsburg postoffice, and \u25a0

PASSENGERS AT ALTOONA.William Henry Smith Reports as

'"\u25a0'.'._.. to Their Condition.'Altoona, Pa., June • 2.—The situa-

tion 'is this: The passengers on ' thevarious trains under cetentlon : east andwest are here awaiting the opening ofthe road. ' The work is beingpushed with great energy. The delay islargely due to 'bridges that are washedout. - The number of lost Is not exactlyknown. There were six passengers onthe second : section left at Conemaugh,as follows; Cyrus Schick and his sis-ter-in-law, Miss Eliza Filbiud, Keading,Pa. (Mr. Schick remained on theground to recover, if possible,the body of Agnes Christman);Miss Smith, a lady .of Dayton,Ohio; a porter of the carLapama, andthe wife of a minister, whose name isunknown. Further particulars of theway in which the second section sur-vived the flood, but was afterwards de-stroyed by lire at Conemaugh, havecome, to hand by former dispatches.Nine freight cars loaded with Iron werewashed in front of the locomo-tive and imbeded against : it be-side a frame house which served as ashield and divided the water. The trainwas moved down four car-lengths, butwas then stopped by two other cars,which were at right angles to the track,the other end being forced in the mud.Remaining in tliese Pullman carswere D. S. Griffith, of the Nor-wich line; Mrs. George W. Langtry andchild ; W. 11. Wood the cook of the car(Paragon); John Wall, in charge of theparlor car (Phelaris). They climbed inthe upper boat house and there awaitedtheir doom. Wood took a station ontop of the car with an axe, prepared tocut a hole through for their rescuewhen the water began to subside.They thought of this as a. res-cue as from a grave. Later on theywere driven from their car by roughmen and robbed of their stores.The villains permitted the storesto remain in the cars to beburned. John B. Van Horn, ofNew York, who was on the day ex-press, has taken charge of the businessof the Western Union Telegraph company, Frank Houston is assisting thepress. The limited that left ChicagoThursday is here.and all the passengersare well. This is true ofthe passengersfrom the East.

Gen.Schofield, acting secretary ofwar came tothe White liouse, and he and the presi-dent repaired to the telegraph room,where they were put in communicationwith as many points and as many per-sons near the flooded districtsas possible. The president offered toextend to the people in distressany succor which the government couldgive. He said that the governmentwould supply as many tents and rationsand soldiers to assist in the work ofrec-lamation tas possible. Gov. Beaver, ofPennsylvania, who was at Annapolis,Md„ as a member ot the board of visit-ors to the naval academy.was communi-cated with and was informed of thegovernment's willingness to grant suc-cor and relief. The governor secured aspeciai train and left Annapolis forYork, Pa., for the purpose of placingthese offers on the part of the-government before the people inthe flooded district. The presidentand Gen. Schofield remained nearthe telegraph instruments receiv-ing and replying to telegramsuntil noon. After luncheon they spentmore time in telegraphing, and at 3o'clock the president went out drivingto view the destruction which the floodsofthe Patomae had wrought.
