THE EVERLASTING DAM.

THE CALUMET AFFAIR IN THE ILLINOIS LEG
ISLATURE-wHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO
ABOUT IT.
Especial to the st. Louis Republican from
Springfield, Illinois, says: The Joint COM
mittee on canals and rivers held a meeting
last night, one of the objects of which was to
devise some scheme for the removal of the
dam at Blue island, in the Calumet river.
the commissioners of the Illinois and Michi-
gan canal we're present and assisted by in
formation. This dam has been in use since
lS4S. 1t is situated about two miles from
the Indiana line, and as the country Slong
the Calumet is low and flat, the water backed
by the dam has overfiowed about 225 square
miles Of Indiana land. The dam was built
to divert the Calumet from the lake, and
throwing it toward the Illinois river
Tor the purpose of feeding the canal. But
it has not been of use, of course, for several
years. while its injurious effects have re-
manned the same. Indiana has patiently
submitted to the overflow and loss which It
occasions, and has contented herself with
annually petitioning our legislature for re-
lief. Illinois is disposed to remove the dam,
but she has an opposition TO overcome. The
land on which it is situated belongs to par
ties who operate mill by water power af-
forded by the overflow of the dam. This
wa er power was leased to the original own
ers for the nominal sum of 81 per year, the
lease running Is years. The present owners
purchased the lease in good faith, paying
therefor quite a liberal sum. If the obstruc-
ton be removed, their power is gone and
their mill useless. Several attempts have
been made by the state to steal a march
on the mill owners and pull down the
dam, but an injunction has in each instance
saved it, although four feet have been re-
moved from the top. Tbs mill-owners are
willing to compromise, but ask a larger sum
than is thought reasonable, and with two
or three cases in the courts, the matter now
stands. The committee considered several
schemes and finally adopted resolution re-
questing the governor to advise the canal
commissioners to open negotiations with
the owners of the mill, learn the smallest
amount for which they will withdraw their
claim, and report the same to the committee
at an early day. The removal ofthe dam can
probably be accomplished for about five
thousand dollars, and as its existence is Sc
riously injurious to health and property in
Indiana, Illinois owes it to the State, which
has suffered patiently for so many years, to
Immediate relief

THE RoDDY-SHoTwRLL CAsE.-The trial OF
Carlotts r. Shotwell for stealing papers and
yaluabes from Cen. Philip ID. Roddy, whose
wife she processes to be, was resumed at New
York on Saturday. The plaintiff was closely
cross-examined. He acknowledged taking
apartments for the prisoner at the Ashland
house in October last, bat denied that he al
occasion DIR. Hart called, and b spoke of her
as Miss ShOtwell. He also said the lady came
to him at Washington, and threate ned to speak
to official parties about him unless he would
give her $50, 900. On one occasion she carried
pistol, as If intending to shoot him. Deponant.
however, acknowled ged tn at he made arrange
ments, in 1859, TO send the lady TO school, in
France, for two years
The defense contended that this was no pros
ecuticn by the people, but by a man who had
teen proved, out of his own mouth, to be 8
bigamist and worse. The facts we're that On
era Roddy represented to the lady that he was
unfaithful to him; that next he showed her q
Ger ircate of divorce, and In 1858 they went to
live together as man and wife, he then having
inspired her with affection for him, by telling
her OF his wrongs, she being but school girl at
the time,
The prisoner was then placed in the witness
box, and told her own story at considerable
length reaffirming her counseps statement that
she was married to the plaintiff, and that pre-
vious to their living together he had shown her
decree of divorce from his first wife. Her
statements were occasionally Interrupted by
questions from the plaintiffs counsel, going
she knew ROddy. These intersections were
resented by the prisoner with strong expressions
or indignation. The court stands adjourned
until to-day.

The Saratoga Regatta.

:
The following is the Official decision of the
Judges of the Saratoga regatta on Saturday =
Columbia first, Wesleyan second, Harvards
third, williams fourth, Cornell fifth Dart
Yale ninth.
The time ue.42sD of the winning CCOlumbiA
College) crew was good, being the best made of
any college regatta, except that of 1872 on the
Connecticut river, when the Amherst crew did
the same distance, (three miles, in 1888. Even
this, however, Is not equal to what has been
done by other amateurs, notably the Atlantics
OF New York, and the Argonauts of New Jer-
sey, the latter's time in a recent contest with q
Buffalo club being less than sixteen minutes.
Unfortunately the regatta did not end without
a serious feeling being provoked. 1t appears
that Yale fOuled with Harvard twice. The first
time Harvard was thrown TO the rear, but she
soon recovered, and was about to pass Yale
when the latter ran into her again, this time, IL
is said, breaking ore OF her own oars. Harvard
struggled, and getting loose, shot ahead, while
Yale tel back, giving up the race. While this
took place, occupying but few seconds, Co
lumbia shot ahead, and taking the lead, kept
IL to the end, pulling a steady, strong and eff
fective strt Ike. The Ward brothers, who were
near by when the Yale fouled, say that but for
that event the race would have teen between
Columbia and Harvard, with the chances In
favor OF the latter, though they admit that the
Columbia crew acquitted themselves sple mildly.
Capt. Cook says that he was even with Har-
ward when Dana, the stroke, Intentionally
struck Nsle's rudder with his oar, and then
struck his bow oar, and broke that.
The claims OF foul made 10 the referee in ac-
cordance with rule II were decided as follows:
Hsryard VS.. Yale, and Yale VS.. Harvard; claims
disailowed in accordance with rule IL. YALE
claim Vas not entertained, as Yale violates
rules and 5, under which the race was rowe /.
Wesleyan VS.. Columbia; not sustained, as the
steering Of each boat was somewhat wild, with
10 apparent willful attempt TO foul. This dsci-
sion Is In accordance with rule II.
The result is a new sanction of the English
style of rowing, as the English stroke was pulled
by the winners, and also by the second aBd
third crews, Wesleyan and Harvard, as well As
by Yale, whose prospects of triumph were ex-
cellent. IL Is said that the New Haven boys ar
not content to accept defeat under such circum-
stances, and to show what they might have
done propose to challenge the Columbians fcr
another trial.

The PHILADELPHIA CHILD STBALsRs.-
There is nothing new in the Philadelphia kid
mapping case, except that a private telegram
was received in that city at a late hour Sstur-
day night stating that a child, supposed to be
little Charley Ross, had passed through BelaIr,
Md, and that the detectives were twenty four
hours behind it. The following note was re-
ceiyed by MIR. Harry Brown in Philadelphia
last Friday:
"PHILADELPHIA, July 16.-Look after that
youDgster of yours, Harry. He is watched by
English snatchers. Has been watched at Nor
ris square. Others had better be careful.
GONE OF THE GANG, BUT FRIENDLY"
The note Is written on small piece OF yellow
paper, the writing being OF q neat business
style, but apparently disguised. The address
of the somewhat soiled white envelope Is in a
small, crooked hand, and looks as though ii
might have been written by woman. The boy
alluded to, who is an only child, is between two
and three years of age, and is greatly idOlized
by his parents. Mr.. Brown will have the mat
ter investigated. 1t Is reported that for some
time past strange man has been endeavoring
10 entice away little children who have been
playing in Norris square and Hancock and Dia-
Dond streets, where the writer OF the above note
states the "Enghsh snatchers' are watching.
A second man, named Joseph Calvert, alias
"ButtOn Joe," has been arrested by a private
detective on suspicion of his knowing something
about the boy Ross. Calvert has been intimate
with Wooster.

CABINET CRISIS IN FRANCB.-There Is a
complete crisis in the French ministry. The
Duke de Broslie has been seeking to constitute
a cabinet based on the old majority in the as.
sembly, but il is said he has failed, and the
Duke de Cazes has since been intrusted with
the task. The Assembly on Saturday adop ell a
motion reducing the annual redemption pay
ments by SIC, 000, 900, thus aggravatng the min
isterial defeats. 1t also confirmed the decision
to discuss Ventavou's constitutional report from
the committee of thirty to-day. II is expected
that the new ministers will demand a postpone
ment OF this debate. IT it is postponed the
whole left and Bonapartists will vote for dis
solution Of the Assembly. Gen. Cissey will
probably be appointed minister OF the interior
sd interim. Duke de Broglie failed to form q
cabinet because the legitimists are deter mined
In their opposition to the organization of Mac
Mahon's power.
