The chances for Chandler are 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 actress in tights sixty-five years old. The time lias been when the horsewhip was in- voked for less impertinent allusions to this lady. . Tire Democrats in Ohio are holding their county conventions preliminary to the state convention, and it is noticeable that they invariably indorse the late administration and the St. Louis plat- form. Tariff reduction is stronger than it 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 mind of the president, impelled mainly by his dislike to Blame and the opportunity afforded to get a thrust at him. Mrs. Howell predicts that women will get their rights early in the twenti- eth century, but a couple of decades or so is a good deal on a woman's age looking forward. It shrinks looking back. It is to be hoped that the girls who are said to make >"2 shirts for four cents will not have to wait so long for their rights. __M There has been no denial of the statement of the New York Sun that President Harrison, at the centennial celebration, drank whisky and cham- pagne, and handled his glasses like an expert. As bis election was due to the New York liquor dealers, it might be taken as a very palatable recognition of that fact. —\u25a0 At the recent annual meeting of the liquor dealers* association in New York, the official repoit contained the state- ment that the organization had con- tributed materially to the defeat of Warner "Miller as governor. Its ef- forts also insured the state to Harri- son, whether that was a definite part of the programme or not. -i-i IfSenator Farwell, of Illinois, is in earnest in proposing to join hands with his colleague and return the "blow between the eyes" administered to the latter by the administration, there should be no discouragement, as there will be no sufferers outside of the participants, and the public would en- joy a little circus of that sort. The family feature of the administra- tion is spreading among the high mucks. Senator Spooner has got a brother a 55,000 job; Lynch, the colored statesman, has. got a sister-in-law at the head of a bureau: Blame has put one or two of his people in fresh places; and quiet chances are being found for many of those who have kindred in power. The six relatives of the White house are figured as drawing $.0,000.- ~'y \u25a0-•» Co l. Shepard, the good New York editor, made war on the Sunday stage •coaches on Fifth avenue, and reported to the Presbyterian general assembly that he had reformed them into quies- cence, and assured the preachers that the eire ulation of the Sunday papers had greatly fallen off. The assembly lias adjourned, the stages run as ever, and the papers print full quotas for Sunday. But Sheuard still prints Scripture over his editorials. -4V. Blame is said to look with great dis- gust upon the prankish bucolicism of Jerks' Rusk riding on a hay cart and swinging a scythe. James hears the buzzing bee in the bonnet of the agri- cultural statesman. He has seen the time when he could stand up for hours at the country fairs, while the mothers passed up the babies to be kissed; but now he doesn't respond when "Jim" is called, and freezes any old admirer who slaps him on the back. — It is stated that when congress con- venes, Wanamaker and his railway coadjutor, Bell, will be called upon to explain to a committee the nature of the emergency that required the ap- appointmentof 1,500 railway mail clerks on the last day or two of April to fore- stall their examination under the civil service rules that became operative on the first day of May. It has been shown that old clerks were not generally rein- stated, and that the pretense about the good of the service was false.. : — >•\u25a0 Editor Shepard, who stands out in the moral nigritude of the New York press as the conspicuous religious light, lias been discussing the question "Can an editor be a Christian?" His conclu- sion is that in the weekly press the af- firmative of the interrogatory has the easier*, and more numerous response, and yet in nearly every daily paper there are one or more on the editorial staff who are religiously good, and who serve as the quiet leaven. Without fol- lowing any analysis of this sort, it may be insisted that .the"; press does its full share of the practical work of Christian- izing . the world, with little care for dogmas or parade of its 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 the popular voice. He is not comfortable in that attitude, and needs a railroad to Siberia to take away those who would like to kill him. \u0084 A striking picture was that the other day of the . emperor of Germany admonishing those who had employed the striking workmen that they had a duty to perform to the state, and must use every effort to provide for the welfare of the men. The zeal of the government for the passage of '' the measure forrelief of invalid workmen is on the same line. In Great Britain the Radical motion in parliament to abolish hereditary succession in the house of lords narrowly fails, and will assuredly prevail in the early future. While the ancient machinery of most of the old monarchical systems remains, the popular voice is permeating the structures, and its intonations have a constantly growing distinctness. THE JOHNSTOWN SUFFERERS. When we hear of great calamities in other parts of the world, of floods in China, of earthquakes in Japan, of vol- canic eruptions in Southern Europe, of plagues that depopulate whole districts in India, we are not impressed with their results because they seem so far away from us. But it is not so with the Johnstown horror. Here is a home calamity un- paralleled in its awfulness, and it pro- duces a shock from which we find it difficult to recover ourselves. There are . those in our midst, our neighbors and friends, who came from the ill-fated town, and it is probable that those who are nearest related to them by blood ties are now counted among the victims of the disaster. JS_f_| Many of us have a keen and pleasant recollection of the thrifty little city nestling in the cosy valley, as we have often seen it when passing by on the Pennsylvania road. Perhaps nearly every farmer in Minnesota is the pos- sessor of some utensil that was turned out from the iron and steel works at Johnstown. Thus it is we are made to feel that we had a personal acquaint- ance there. They were, at least, our home folks in the sense that they were our countrymen, with whom we had direct dealings. Therefore the heart grows sick as the details of the Johnstown flood continue to pour in upon us, and we begin to better comprehend the magnitude of the calamity. But it is now not so much the dead as the survivors who merit our sympathy. The thousands who perished in the flood are beyond the reach of human aid and human sympathy. Yet there are thousands of survivors whom we can help. Some of them may have been millionaires a few days ago; bu they are all beggars now, and are sur- rounded by a scene of devastation which has never before been witnessed on this continent. There are those who are nearer to them than we are who are able to aid, but that does not relieve us of the duty of at least making a proffer of help. Therefore we suggest that at its regular meeting this morning the chamber of commerce take such action as it may deem necessary to raise a fund for the relief of the Johnstown sufferers. DAKOTA ELECTIONS. There has never been any voting in Dakota, with some local exceptions, of interest enough to draw out the full vote. This will not be the case at the coming election, Oct. 1. In North Da- kota the convention has yet to lay out the programme, but it will comprise j about the same as in the South, so far as fillingoffices is concerned, with some doubt as to certain special incitements. In the South there will be a governor and seven other state officers to elect, two congressmen, thirty-six state sena- toos and ninety-eight representatives, three supreme court judges, six circuit judges and a county* judge for each county. These and the novelty of vot- ing just like the people of the states would draw out a large vote ; but the mustard plaster on the body politic is the capital question, not to speak of the prohibitory amendment. . A man. who wouldn't come out to vote with all these inducements would as soon attend the funeral of his mother-in-law as to go to a circus. The minority amendment is also to be voted on, and some Republi- cans want it rejected, so as to keep Democrats 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 comprise 3,500,000 acres, and will be thrown open to settlement at the usual government price as soon as some matters of detail can be arranged with the Indians. If the new settler could get a quarter or half section of those lands in the usual homestead way, he should not let any grass grow under his feet in getting there. It would be a small bonanza in the heart of an unsurpassed civiliza- tion. But there are less than 1,000,000 acres of these lands, and they cannot be available for settlement until action is had by congress and a deal made with the Indians. Any one who supposes these processes have any element of rapidity in them has been a poor ob- server. A year or two would be reason- ably rapid. The 10,000,000 acres or more of Sioux lands may be open to settlement by snow time if the Indians sign 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 in at Rosebud, the most southerly agency in the reservation, perhaps excepting Pine Ridge, on the extreme west. Less is known generally of these Indians than of those further north, where are Sitting Bull, John Grass, Red Cloud, and the other notables, some of whom are kickers from way back. There is -.something in ; names. At Standing Rock, where the commission, last year, did their first and chief work, they found obstinate old bullheads who defeated the mission; but at Rosebud, a name inviting to the senses, it is under- stood that the Indians are favorable, and even anxious to sign. A good start there will be a long ways toward suc- cess. The Indians should understand that this is their last chance for so lib- eral terms. Their consent will not be asked if another law shall be needed. A FINANCIAL PROBLEM. ; The difficulty presaged by the Globe when the Sioux Falls constitution was | under consideration - now ,' confronts the people of South Dakota as a condi- tion, not a theory. The! enabling act appropriates $20,000 for the holding of a convention, but as the vote of the peo- ple has left almost nothing for it to do. by . ordinary processes there is - little chance to keep $10,000 or more, from going back to Washington, in violation of economical principles and Vgood usage. The \u25a0 act fixes the per diem of the members, but as it is "only $4 most of the members do " not ; take ' kindly to the proposition to keep in session with lawyers , talking .' against : time . till the money is gone. The most acceptable proposal seems to be to appoint all the editors in South Dakota ; clerks of "com- mittees or officers of some sort,; with post mortem duties suftlcien t to exliaus the appropriation. ; This seems quite feasible, and will, no I doubt, havo the united support of the press. -^ CONTEMPT OF COURT. The supreme *' court; of • Ohio has re- versed the decree of Judge Puon in sentencing Allen O. Marks :to pay a fine of $200 arid serve ninety days In jail tor contempt of court. Whereupon the Washington Post suggests that legisla- tion is needed to emphasize the point that courts aie not final judges of con- tempt against themselves. We are inclined to the same opinion, - although it is a power that is seldom abused by the courts. But the fact that it is liable to abuse, and that in a few, instances petulant and spiteful judges have made extreme use of the \u25a0 power . : that is vested in the bench to avenge its slights and insults, only goes to demon- strate the necessity for legislative enact- ment in fixing the limit of punishment for contempt. As a rule, the injured party is not supposed to sit in impar- tial judgment on his own case; and where a judge is smarting under a real or fancied wrong he is . liable to go too far in a contempt case. Nor is it in ac- cord with the spirit of our institutions that unlimited power should be vested in one man. Therefore there should be, a provision in the code of each state giving a clear Interpretation of what constitutes contempt and limiting the punishment for the offense. — \u25a0«__• WHISKY'S COMPETITOR. Ifthis were summer, or there were a prospect that we were going to have any summer, we would, probably, be more interested in Dr. Hammond's statement that ice water kills more peo- ple in this country than whisky. But in the present ' chilly state of the weather nobody in this country is hankering 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 the weather ever does get warm everybody will be calling tor ice water. He says that the two diseases now prevalent in this country, and which are most fatal, Bright's disease and paralysis, are both produced by an intemperate use of ice water. And there are very few who do not use it intemperately,for atablespoon- ful is an immoderate quantity, particu- larly when the individual is perspiring when the. water is taken into the stomach. Dr. Hammond says that water for drinking purposes should never be below fifty degrees, for when it is lower than that a rude shock is given to the whole system by gulping down a glass- ful. \u25a0» WOMEN MINISTERS. The statement that the Ohio female preacher authorized to perform ; the marriage ceremony took a new depart- ure, and was the first instance of the kind, elicits various facts on the sub- ject. Rev". Piiebe Hanaford states that she has married people in three states and united forty-nine couples. She is a Universalist preacher, and in- . sists that in her denomination there are nearly forty women legally qualified to perform the marriage ceremony, and hundreds of people have enjoyed their services, and the law has not set any of these aside. In 1870 courts in Massa- chusetts decided that Rev. Olympia Brown possessed this authority. ".-."."-It. does not appear why there should ever have been any question raised on the subject. Where women are ordained ministers this function naturally ; at- taches. In the early history, of Wyo- ming.and perhaps Washington territory, there were female justices who took in legal fees this way. Women naturally like to have a good deal to do with these little domestic arrangements. IT CAME WEST. A paper of late date, from the capital of New Hampshire, berates its moneyed men for organizing a company with a million dollars capital to invest in im- provements in the West. It appeals to their local pride to put their capital into home factories and summer resorts for tourists, and plaintively bewails the tendency all over that state to put their surplus means into "Western specula- tions," lands, railroads, mines, etc. This, it alleges, has . been the practice for years, and the state has been de- pleted of its capital and young men to build up other sections. The West is certainly indebted to New Hampshire and other Eastern states for men and money, but the advantage has been mutual. As the paper reminds them of losses in some instances, probably some investments in mines have failed to meet expectations, but there are abun- dant openings in Western realty in which there are no contingencies, aud the men who prefer to send their money West 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 their favor. It is insisted that the apportion- ment is unjust. The legislature of Rhode Island has just elected a Repub- lican governor, although the Democratic candidate had several thousand more- votes. Connecticut, has two Repub- licans in the senate, although the state is Democratic. So has New York, which is generally Democratic on the state ticket, In neither of these states could the Democrats carry the legis- lature ifthey had 1,000 popular votes to every 900 Republican, rlf this were the condition in any Southern state, Re- publicans would insist that it did: not have 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 any party has always been above partisan methods 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 arid esteemed very widely in this state arid Wisconsin, having repeatedly served in the legislatures of , ; both. He was born in * New York city in 1836, but became a resident ..-\u25a0.' of Milwaukee three years ' later, residing . there until 1806, when he removed to Hutchinson, this state, and has since lived there. He was elected to the state senate three times * between *?. 1871 and 1881, r and in ; 1877 • was chosen to the house. He was one of the most efficient and popular members, and it is said that few of his associates had : so many per- sonal friends, or succeeded" so well in carrying measures through.- His mag- netic manner aud kindness "of; heart attached even his political opponents to him, and all had the utmost confidence in his integrity . and adherence to his convictions. McLeod county and the state have sustained a severe loss in his death. •* _ r 'Blame is said to find apology for the selection of Tucker for the honor of an important position. The incident seems to Illustrate the eagerness of the; Republicans . to capture : Confederates, and they seem to have a special affinity for the men of - most \u25a0: unsavory ; repute. Admitting only what is conceded In the record of Tucker, it would not be difficult to hud Republican authority for quite as flagrant acts ; in the ; career of men 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; Patterson in as fifth i auditor of the treasury, and, were told to stand around awhile,' as the president had some Indiana friends to provide for first. They were so ill-man**** neied as to get out of humor, and seem. to have ' prowled around the _ White house, and when they went home re- ported that the president had five fami- lies of kindred quartered there. V These . weie the households of ' Ben and Son Russell, and the tribes of the Mc- _______ Saunders aud Scotts. The lat- ter branch was having its quarters- made ready. The house is more than full, not counting the red ants or many relatives not there yet. The need of a vastly larger White house is evident. — — •**•' Some of the Republican journals have examined therecords so far to find that "no president after having left the White house has ever again been re- turned to it." This seems to afford them relief when they hear Mr. Cleve- land named. A year ago it might have been claimed that no grandson of a president had ever been elected, and a few years earlier it was insisted that no man with a C in front of his name ever could be elected. It is. not pre- sumed that Mr. Cleveland will be a candidate again, but the fact of his hav- ing been president will not rule him out or weaken his chances. \u25a0-__\u25a0• While the worn and chestnutty conundrum, "Is marriage a failure?" is being shelved, a portion of humanity is vexed with the question, "Should woman propose?" '-'*-•\u25a0 y. \u25a0 \u25a0 STATE GOSSIP. The.Boston Globe has figured out that there is room for 70,000 families in the Sioux reservation, soon to be opened for settlement. . But some of these families, as it thinks, would like to see the an- nouncement coupled with some practi- cal means of raising the scrip to get there. If the Globe will start a move- ment to raise 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 to work for a living in the East will starve as soon in the West as anywhere else, and shipment to the Sioux reservation does not include government rations.— Duluth Herald. : V V We are afraid Mr. Scheffer's law for punishing drunkenness will prove a' failure, because, unlike his meat law, it provides for no inspector. : How "full" must a man be to be drunk? The law does not say. An inspector, authorized to smell of his breath, make him walk a crack, or say "truly rural" or "innocu- ous deseutude" could easily determine whether the symptoms were good for a straight drunk, and thus on the hoof speedily enforce the law.— Hutchinson i Leader. There is now a definitely settled con- clusion in St. Paul that the three bills stolen from the files of the legislature the 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 it said, j the only editor in the state mean enough to do such a thing.—Le Sueur Sentinel.: . Mr. Washburn will fight Senator Ward, but "Kid" Eugene Hay, who, '• according to R. B. Langdon and Loren Fletcher, never has had a law case Minnesota, he is pushing for United; States district attorney. Mr. Wash- burn's fears for the safety of the re- public are based on a broad and rather peculiar personal experience— News. .. '-}__§$m_l^__~§g& The Mankato Review makes serious charges of corruption of the members of the legislature from that county. The editor, Mr. Wise, in making the charges appears to be ready to sustain them. Mr. W. usually knows whereof he speaks, and those members want to handle him carefully, or he may make it interesting for them.— St. Peter Her- ald. 1 "I The report that Senator Davis will hot be a candidate for re-election was undoubtedly started by some ambitious rival. Senator Davis : will be in the hands of his friends when the time for re-election comes and his friends will see that he is taken care of.—Martin Sentinel. ; ; Emerson gave some very pretty ad- vice to young men about maintaining their integrity and remaining poor, wrapping themselves in their own virtue, etc. Emerson evidently knew nothing about the Minnesota climate.— Owatonna Journal. - Give the meat inspection-; bill or any other a fair trial.

HERE AND THERE. It is alreody evident that Minneapolis and St. Paul are getting ready to pre- sent some wonderful figures as a result of the next census, and there is a big fight on hand over the selection of the gentleman who will manipulate the figures for that state. St. Paul has given it out - that she proposes to show up more people : than Minneapolis, and Minneapolis doesn't propose to have it that way. Altogether the figures which will be sent out from those cities next year will be fearfully and wonderfully made up.—Omaha Dispatch. There is room for 70.000 families in the Sioux reservation, soon to be opened for homestead settlement. Some of Ithese 70,000 families would like to see the an- nouncement coupled with some pract- ical means of raising the scrip to get there.— Globe. : A pretty good illustration of the ad- vantage of casting one's bread upon the waters, is to be found in the action of Senator Spooner: of Wisconsin, who, some two "years ago got the salary of the consul to Prague , raised from * $2,000 to ( $3,000. o And - now his own brother has ; just been appointed to this consulate.!

RUIN ANO DESOLATION. Continue-!. From First Page. from a piece of wreckage • lii which he had been imprisoned since Friday. His leg was; broken and bis face badly, bruised. He was delirious - when , rescued, and will not ; likely * re- cover. The Pennsylvania railroad is ; now laying ' tracks i. from Johnstown station to : the \ washout. A teinporaiy. bridge is being built, and by to-morrow evening trains will be running. Into Johnstown, It will be more a matter of ; luck than a certainty. Communication by rail has ; been *- established between Pittsburg and - the end of ; the stone bridge. Assistant Superintendent Trump is on the grounds and is the au- thority for this news. He knows noth- ing of the condition of. the track be- I tween Johnstown and Altoona. ln some places it is said the tracks were scooped out to a depth of twenty feet." A ; train of cars, all loaded, were run on the Conemaugh bridge. They, with the bridge, now lie in the wreckage at this point. The Pennsylvania railroad loses thirty-five engines and many cars. The Baltimore & Ohio tracks are now. open, and a tram was run to the city > free of charge for passengers at 1 o'clock. . Mails are getting through by means of couriers across the mount- ains. A pony express line has been es- ., tablished. The Pennsylvania railroad will run a line of stages between Johns- town and Cresson if the tracks . are as bad as is ; reported. Messengers : were sent along the line . yesterday. They will make their reports in the city of- fices. The clang-clang-clang of the Dtiquesne has a home-like sound to the reporters! The fire has spread steadily all day and the upper part of the drift is burning to-night. The fire engine is stationed on the river bank, and a line ot hose laid far up the track to the coal; mine. The flames to-night arc higher than ever before, and by their light long lines of the curious can be seen along the banks. No. 3 will be put into service in the morning. Chief Brown has ordered an engine to Johnstown, to go by way of the Balti- more & Ohio. It will be there in order to protect the town should tire break out. The natural gas has been shut off, owing to the many leaks in Johnstown. No fire is allowed in the city. The walls of many houses are falling. Their crash can be heard across the river where the newspaper, men are located, lv the walk through the town to-day the word "danger" could be noticed painted by the rescuers on the walls. ;; V AMONG THE SAVED. Partial "List of Those on tbe Flood- Swept Trains. Philadelphia.

' Cessna re- ceived them over the telephone from Martinsburg, and the latter place got : them by telegraph from Altoona. The " : list does not comprise all of those on the day express, as some ' are known to be ' still at Conemaugh, and In view of the ' devious • route Iby which ' the names ' reached here their ; absolute correctness ' cannot be relied upon. ' ~- VP to 10 O'CLOCK to-night no names : additional to those previously sent have been recelved'here. - \u25a0 All the passengers taken to Altoona are ' quartered at the , Logan : house, a large ' hotel, ample \u25a0to accommodate them. < The Pennsylvania company is provid- ing *for their . wants. A dispatch this afternoon states that three \u0084 un- identified •\u25a0\u25a0 • persons, supposed - to be passengers on the ill-fated day express. are at Conemaugh. They are described as follows: A man fivefeet eight inches in height, -weighing - probably 160 pounds, full: gray beard, bald head, supposed to be Cyrus Sherry.' A woman aged about: sixty-five; 'had. on abdom- inal truss. A '\u25a0\u25a0 woman aged sixty, supposed to . be ' Mrs. ;\u25a0 Bey. Baney. Bey. J. H. Pershing, of Conemaugh, has these bodies . in *. charge. The rail- road officials state to-night that they have information wbich leads them to believe that not over* seven of the pas- sengers on the trains flooded at Cone- maugh were drowned. The first report sent last night placed the .number of dead at fifteen." Affairs on the various divisions of the Pennsylvania road are in the same bad condition stated in these dispatches of • yesterday and last night. A prominent official of the road stated to-night that he did - not -believe that with the : most temporary , sort of repairs they would be able to run trains through ;.- from : Harrisburg to Johnstown in less than ten days, or possibly two weeks. To put the road in the same condition as it was before the floods will be the work of years. The first effort will . be to : construct a temporary bridge across the Susque- hanna river, on the Philadelphia & Erie branch, at Montgomery, to replace the one swept away. This done, it is thought Lock Haven can be reached without delay, probably by Tuesday night. Then, \u25a0if the Bald Eagle Valley road has not been washed out, the condition ot which, however, is not known, Altoona should be reached by this route by Wednesday. The water between Middletown and Harrisburg still remains five feet . over the track, and the few trains which are being run between Philadelphia and Harrisburg are taken over the Cornwall & Lebanon road, from Conewago to Lebanon, and thence by the Philadelphia & Beading railroad tracks to Harrisburg. . Altogether, the reports received so far from the various divisions of the road show' that a total of sixteen bridges have been lost by the company. ALMOST DEAD WITH HUNGER. A Mad Rush for Provisions by the People. Joiinstown, June 2. — This afternoon George T. Swank, editor of the Johns- town Tribune, received the following telegram from Senator Quay, dated Beaver Station, Beaver county : "Draw on me at sight at Beaver Deposit bank for $500 in aid of your trouble." W. S. Brown, of Pittsburg, of the Ameri- cas Belief corps, to-day notified Capt. Kuhn, city solicitor, that the Pittsburg Masons stand ready to fur- nish anything that is wanted. The four tracks of the Pennsylvania railroad be- low the stone bridges are filled with cars for two miles. Hundreds of men and women" are wending their way from Morrellville to Johnstown, among the cars, and it is pitch dark. No acci- dents,, however, have been reported. The scenes at supper time show that hunger is beginning to drive the suf- fersto desperation.* They surrounded the freight cars that bad been fitted up to feed the hungry and shouted for bread. At first those in charge tossed the provisions into the crowd, and an awful scramble followed. Children were trampled under foot and women were unable to get food, though they need it most. Finally the Alle- gheny and Pittsburg police stopped the throwing of food and forced the crowd to pass in single file before the car doors. Then there was no more touble, though little children were crying tor bread. "Where's that child without stockings?" called out a commit- teeman from a car filled with clothing. There were a dozen shiv- ering little girls in sight, and many were too poorly clothed to pro- tect them from the weather. It is very cold here to-night. Many a poor woman and her children are suffering, lt is estimated that Councilman James Williams and Undertaker McNulty washed and prepared 250 bodies to-day. The remains at Morrellville are still in the vacant lot for the night. Many have been placed in coffins ready for burial and hauled to the hill tops near cemeteries. The Hungarinns at- tacked the - cars .standing on the tracks " ;; to-night ' to seize the clothing and provisions. One was turned over to a deputy sheriff by Officer Monongahela and the rest were clubbed. The number of persons that searched the debris for plunder to-day is surprising. Poorly-clad laboring men may be seen carrying away fine orna- mental clocks anil rich bric-a-brac. ' Pi- anos by the dozen are scattered along the river, but they are ruined. One of the pathetic scenes of the day was a man and wife who drew from a mass of rubbish a part ofa cradle. They looked at it a moment in silence and then fell to weeping in each oth- er's arms for the loved little one that was gone. William Varner is a broken-hearted man. Of a family of ten just five aie missing. The Hunga- rians and negroes are causing the most trouble. All day long they have been fillingup with . tue whisky taken from the river on Saturday, and to-night they are in a dangerous mood. The negroes in Johnstown were selling hams, sacks of flour and dress goods for whisky. They actually had the cheek to drive a wagon to the rear of a wrecked store and load it with goods, and were haul- ing it away when stopped. BUILDINGS DESTROYED. Partial Enumeration of the Most Prominent Losses. Johnstown, June Only meagre details of the buildings that were swept away can be conveyed at this time. In the second ward of Johnstown there were 1,800 houses. Now there are seven standing. There are seven wards in the city and the second is the aver- age. The* municipal building,' a two- story brick is razed; so is the postoffice, scattering mail from Johnstown to New Orleans. Among others destroyed were the following: V',; Cambria three-story brick; ex-Sher- iff Stremoud's residence on Washington street: in Park Place, residences of John Fulton, of the Cambria company; James J. Murphy, Adam Blinker and George Mailer; residence of ! Frank Daley, of the Cambria company; the elegant brick Episcopal church building; residences of Jacob Fend, Isaac Chandler and S. P. S. Ellis; the -Cambria club rooms, four stories, brick; W. 11. Rosen- thal's residence on Walnut street; residence of Howard J. Roberts, cashier of First Na- tional bank.' He also loses his wife and son. Residences of James * P. McConaghay and Cyrus Elder; the English Lutheran church: the German Lutheran church; Russ, Foster & Quinn, dry goods; residence of John Reis- ser. Main street; Camp & Horn, stationery and wall paper; CO. Luther, general store; Henry Fritz, three-story brick on Clinton street liquor store and residence; E. T. Schoff, dry goods, Clinton street; C. 11. Mc- Aleer, saloon ; Hulburt house, four stories, fifty-three guests, only seven escaped; Mer- chants' hotel, rear destroyed, . four-story building;- opera house; Luther & Greene, three-story brick, corner Clinton and Main; H. T. Dcfranee, drug store; American house, three-story frame. Every building on Main almost is a total wreck. Including many splendid mansions. Walnut street, probably the prettiest street here, - having splendid shade trees its whole length, is a deso- late waste ;' of swamp land. \u25a0 Franklin street, on which stood the postoffice, Lutheran church, magnificent Metho- dist church ; and many ... other fine buildings, has nothing to show that it ever was a; * street excepting the bare walls ot the ' Methodist church. Alexander Adair lost sixteen houses, ten in the. Fifth ward. They were . worth $30,000. ; Mr. Adair, with : the assistance of Sheriff Steine- man. passed 5,000 people over a pontoon bridge r they had constructed. He helped over.- many prominent people, including Judge Potts and • Mr. Me- Conaughy. Ten fine . residences on Lo- cust street, in the rear of . the Cambria company's •. works, *"\u25a0 belonging to that company, were destroyed. Stephen Collins, of the Piltsburg postoffice, and \u25a0 several other members of the junior O. U. A. M. were here to-day to establish a relief fund. They have notified the committees that the . members of this * strong organization are ready to do their best for the sufferers. PASSENGERS AT ALTOONA. William Henry Smith Reports as '"\u25a0'.'._.. to Their Condition. ' Altoona, Pa., June • 2.—The situa- tion 'is this: The passengers on ' the various trains under cetentlon : east and west are here awaiting the opening of the road. ' The work is being pushed with great energy. The delay is largely due to 'bridges that are washed out. - The number of lost Is not exactly known. There were six passengers on the second : section left at Conemaugh, as follows; Cyrus Schick and his sis- ter-in-law, Miss Eliza Filbiud, Keading, Pa. (Mr. Schick remained on the ground to recover, if possible, the body of Agnes Christman); Miss Smith, a lady .of Dayton, Ohio; a porter of the carLapama, and the wife of a minister, whose name is unknown. Further particulars of the way in which the second section sur- vived the flood, but was afterwards de- stroyed by lire at Conemaugh, have come, to hand by former dispatches. Nine freight cars loaded with Iron were washed in front of the locomo- tive and imbeded against : it be- side a frame house which served as a shield and divided the water. The train was moved down four car-lengths, but was 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 cars were D. S. Griffith, of the Nor- wich line; Mrs. George W. Langtry and child ; W. 11. Wood the cook of the car (Paragon); John Wall, in charge of the parlor car (Phelaris). They climbed in the upper boat house and there awaited their doom. Wood took a station on top of the car with an axe, prepared to cut a hole through for their rescue when the water began to subside. They thought of this as a. res- cue as from a grave. Later on they were driven from their car by rough men and robbed of their stores. The villains permitted the stores to remain in the cars to be burned. John B. Van Horn, of New York, who was on the day ex- press, has taken charge of the business of the Western Union Telegraph com pany, Frank Houston is assisting the press. The limited that left Chicago Thursday is here.and all the passengers are well. This is true of the passengers from the East. William Henry Smith. THE GOVERNMENT WILL AID. President Harrison Offers Uncle Sam's Assistance. Washington, June 2. — President Harrison did not attend church to-day, but spent his time in communicating with people in the flood-stricken districts with a view to granting them such succor as lay in the power of the government About 9 o'clock in the morning. Gen. Schofield, acting secretary of war came to the White liouse, and he and the presi- dent repaired to the telegraph room, where they were put in communication with as many points and as many per- sons near the flooded districts as possible. The president offered to extend to the people in distress any succor which the government could give. He said that the government would supply as many tents and rations and soldiers to assist in the work of rec- lamation tas possible. Gov. Beaver, of Pennsylvania, 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 the government's willingness to grant suc- cor and relief. The governor secured a speciai train and left Annapolis for York, Pa., for the purpose of placing these offers on the part of the- government before the people in the flooded district. The president and Gen. Schofield remained near the telegraph instruments receiv- ing and replying to telegrams until noon. After luncheon they spent more time in telegraphing, and at 3 o'clock the president went out driving to view the destruction which the floods of the Patomae had wrought. He and Mrs. Harrison then again went into the telegraph office and stayed there for some .time, the president extending his sympathies to the afflicted people and endeavoring to learn of every way in which he might lie of ser- vice to them. The government has about 2,000 tents which it can lend to the sufferers. The government has also un- der its control several thousand tents belonging to the militia ot the service and these will be loaned if needed. The offers of soldiers was made for the rea- son that it was thought they might be useful in clearing away debris, search- ing for the drowned and guarding prop** erty. ALL DROWNED. One of the Saddest Incidents of the Calamity. Johnstown, June 2.—Charles Myer and wife, of Braddock, came here this morning to look for their parents and relatives. Myer had not been here long before he was told that Mrs. Myer was found at Pitts- burg. He left to telegraph Coroner McDowell. It has since been learned that both Mr. and Mrs. Myer were drowned, together with three daughters and a sou. About a dozen printers of the Johnstown Democrat were driven to the root of their boarding house in Kern- ville. They were kept there fifteen hours and were "ha If- frozen when taken off. Drs. Perchment and Shaw, of Pittsburg, say that some thirty-six doctors from there are here, but they will probably return to-morrow.asthey are not needed. Persons were either killed outright or escaped without much damage. A great crowd of Pittsburgers visited this city* to-day." Among the well-known persons about towu seen here were Messrs. E. M. Bigelow, chief of the de- partment of public works, William Flynn. Chief J. O. Brown, Chief Evans, of the fire department, Assistant Chief Coates, C. F. McKenna, Rev. Father Molyneaux. Magistrate McKenna, C. L. Magee and others. Glanny Graham, who came in search of news of the Ox- nard family, learned late in the even- ing of their safety. THRILLING EXPERIENCES. Several Persons Save Themselves by Jumping From Top to Top on Buildings. Johnstown, Pa., June 2.— Miss Ful- ton, daughter of Manager John Fulton, of the Cambria Iron works, together with five or six others, bad a thrilling experience. They were at the First National bank building and were driven to the roof. At last the building moved and the ladies leaped to another roof. This was moving down stream and they leaped to another and then to another. Avoid- ing all danger with the rarest good judgment and coolness, they traveled almost the entire length of Main street on top of roofs and finally landed safely at "Vine street. At Charles Zimmer- man's livery stable, twenty-eight horses were drowned. One animal was in har- ness and in shafts. A building struck the stable and the horse was fastened between two walls. To-day he was found still standing upright as he died, --_-\u25a0- The Clearances.

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..

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.

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.:

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. He andMrs. Harrison then again went into thetelegraph office and stayed there forsome .time, the president extendinghis sympathies to the afflictedpeople and endeavoring to learn ofevery way in which he might lie of ser-vice to them.
