hundred and nine Storage passengers who out from
New York in the steamship Columbia which reached this
port Yesterday afternoon This is perhaps the advance

business at the North and who will be driven South in
search of employment We may expect large reinforce

SINGULAR OBSTRUCTION TELKGRApH CoMMuMcATIoN.
The Emra Gazette tells of the obstruction of telegraph
communication that place as follows
IAN immediate search made for the obstruction,
which found at place where the main and auxiliary
lines parallel for few rods and at distance of about
six inches apart AT this point the spiders had their
webs from wire to the other and the constant drop
ping of the water from The dews and fogs through the
different threads of the webs to the line below formed
complete circuit for the electricity rendering the efforts
of the operator to communicate poweress. The tiny
threads of the spiders removed and the lines spread
further apart since which time the operations Of the line
have been uninterrupted =

New York Witnesses have not arrived
yet. They we're summoned by the cor
ruption investigating committee on Fri
day week. Tue committee are ready to
report, and one of its members says the
report will be made tomorrow. 1t is
confidently asserted by the friends ofthc
Minnesota land bill that nothing has been
discovered by the committee throwing
suspicion on that measure. Gen. Shields
has received this assurance, it is said,
from a member of the committee.
A petition, namerously signed by cit
liens of California, asking the expulsion
Of Mr. Herbert, has been referred to the
committee on elections Of the House.
Tie Dallas and Clarendon treaty was
mainly attacked by the democrats in the
Senate. Mr.. Seward it is understood,
made speech in its favor, as did others
on the republican side
The bill increasing the pay of the Of
ficers of the army, which now awaits the
signature of the President, will give
Aieut. General Scott 81 1928, making his
yearly compensation $1,000. The in
crease pay OF each brigadier general is
81, 100; colonel $500; lieutenant colo
mel $500; major $3.50; captain $500 !;
lieutenant S300--lnaking their salaries
respcctiyely-S7 500, SO, 900, 50, 900,
$4,000, 81, 300, $500 and 81 600.
The average increase is $500 to each Of
fcer, or in all $685., 900. An old law
provides that any increase in the pay Of
the army shall relatively affect that Of the
marine corps.
The following are the names Of all the
members from the non-slayeholding
States who joined the southerners in
voting against the bill IN the House de-
claring the Legislature of Kansas spuri-

APPALLING DIsAsTER-A RAILROAD
TRME PLuNGING INTO Du PAGE RIVER.
The'recent heavy rains, washing away
embankments, occasioring slides, under
mining ties, and sweeping away bridges,
have been the cause of DELAYS, and much
hard swearing, of failures to make con-
nections, and detentions of the mails,
and general arrangement of the rail-
road lines in Illinois and Missouri. If
this were all, we should be glad. On the
chicago and Rock Island Road, as it
crosses the Dn Page river, five miles
from Juliet, the heavy rains of Friday
had swollen the river till it overfowed its
banks, covered the bottom, and sub
merged the track on both sides of the
bridge. a freight train, consisting of
the locomotive, tender, and seven cars
loaded with horses, approached this river
on Saturday The engineer, Ignorant of
any obstruction, and confident in the
firmness and safety of the road, though
covered with water, held on his way,
blowing through stream two feet deep,
guided by the iron track, until he reached
the bridge, when the appalling fact was
revealed that the swollen river had not
only Submerged the bridge, but swept it
away. Locomotive, tender, seven cars
with their freight of horses, one after
another, disappeared beneath the surface
ofthe stream. deep enough by reason of
the freshet, TO hide from view every yes
tige Of the train. Down it went, with
all in charge of it, and three of them
were lost. One human life destroyed
overbalances the destruction of thou
sand horses. But who can think, with
out a shudder, of those seven ears close
ly confirming beyond all hope of escape.
their noble freight ofhorses? And who
without thrill, can picture to his imag-
nation the frantic death struggles of
those helpless animals, as with the fall
ing train they took the fatal plunge, and
amid gurgling aud inrushing waters.
their cars of easy transportation proving
their coffins and their tomb?
