bers, was taken to that place on Thursday

LIQUOR Dealers in Consultation.

CINCINNATI, Suly u.
A meeting of distillers, rectifers and
liquor dealers of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois
and Kentucky was held here last evening,
at which the following resolutions were
adopted Recommending change of gauger
from district and state to another every
thirty days, and storekeepers every sixty
days, as one of the best methods for pre-
venting frauds, and thorough and eifec-
tive system of examination, prior to APP
pointment, to secure competency OF
gaugers and uniformity of inspection. Re-
questing prompt release of goods seized
upon insufficient grounds, and requesting
the government to hold officers to a more
rigid accountability for neglect, omission
or errors committed by them in the dis
charge of.their duty, pledging themselves tc
assist the government to collect taxes il
distilled spirits, and the suppression OF
frauds. The meeting adopted resolutions

his earnest endeavors to detect and stop al

Possible Renewal of the Railroad
War.

BALTIMORE, July o.
There is no change in the subsidiary rail-
road war that has grown out of the recent
settlement. Advices received state that
the Lake Shore. Michigan Central, and
Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago COM
panies are still selling tickets from Chicago
to New York for $15. SO far as the Fort
Wayne road is concerned, it being one of
the leased lines of the Pennsylvania COM
pany, this is considered to be a violation of
the terms of the treaty of peace entered
into between Presidents Scott aud Garrett
The explanation given is that the Fort
Wayne road sold Chicago and New York
tickets at $1S-the rate fixed by Scott and
Garrett-th Lake Shore and Michigan
Central roads would do all the business,
their rates being SO lower If the differ
ence is not soon remedied, the Baltimore
and Ohio may bring its Chicago and New
York tickets down to Sl5, and thus the
warfare might be commenced again.

: The Moody Revival.

LONDON, July y.
The hall in which Moody il boiling his
meetings in Camberwell was crowded last
night one hour before the beginning of the
services. The building was also surround
ed by crowd which broke through the
outside gates, and it was this last that
created the panic in the hall, which was
only stlIed by music. The congregation
remained standing while the incoming
crowd was qnieied by the statement from
Moody that the meeting would not be held
unless they retired. A ministers meeting
to consult with Moody us to the future
will be held on Monday next, when his
work here will close. lie has met the
London committee, who have decided to
continue noon prayer meetings under the
management of the best men they can find.

A Wall Street Failure.

New YORK, July 0.
The failure of Jacob Rubino to meet his
engagements caused considerable trouble in
Wall street yesterday. His embarassments
were brought about by a sharp decline in
gold, caused by news from Washington
about the purchase of silver and the re-
duction in the Bank of England rate of
discount. In consequence of his failure,
the clearings at the Gold Exchange bank
were delayed over an hour. Mr.. Rubino
also had some 10000 shares of Western
Union and Lake Shore, which were sold
out privately during the day. The amount
of gold involved was about 81, 900, 900, and
the losses incurred were not large, and
will probably not cause any failure.

Regatta Prizes Declined.
SARATOGA. N. Y, July

SARATOGA, N. Y, July o.
At meeting of the captains of the seve
raj boat crews now on Saratoga Lake, held
this evening, resolutions were offered de-
clinng to accept the elegant cups offered
as special prizes by j. III. Breslin, proprie-
tor of the Grand Union hotel, in this vii
lage The prizes have been on exhibition
in the hotel for several days. The pre-
amble of the resolutions recite that any
prizes from an outside source, especially of
of so valuable nature as those offered,
would tend to effect unfavorably the true
interest of the races, which are the promo
ton of amateur contests and of meeting in
more intimate social relations the various
members of the American colleges. Reso.

kindness were also adopted

VERGENNEs, July 9-1O p. IN.
AT no time since 1882 has any storm done
as much damage as the one which swept
over our city this afternoon, about four
o'clock. A very heavy squat of wind
opened the dance, quickly followed by
rain and hail. The rain fell in torrents,
and the air was white with hailstones.
Many of these were picked up as large,
and some larger, than walnuts. Several
were measured and found to be three
inches in circumference. The ground
looked as if it had been showing The
wind was from the cast, and hardly a
house or building in town but what was
more or less damaged where any glass was
exposed
DAMAGE TO TIE CHURCHES.
No less than 2GO lights of glass were
broken in the Episcopal church and 100 in
the Congregational church. while at the
Roman Catholic church the damage will
exceed 81 200. The splendid large stained
and ornamented glass window, which was
purchased by the st. John the Baptist So
ciety, at cost of over $3.50, was almost
totally ruined. Several of the designs were
broken out entirely, while others were
badly cracked. The organ was just under
this window and it is feared is badly dam
aged by water. Six other windows of
stained glass, presented by Messrs. Panic,
PARADE, st. Omar, LaLondre, Richards
and Bacon were more or less broken.
Glass was blown distance of twenty feet
into the interior of the church. The school
house suffered also. the hall floor was bad
ly wet. Trees were uprooted and blown
over. The lightning was very vivid and
the thunder heavy. The growing crops
are badly beat down and the corn is so
much damaged as to be of little use.
The storm was over tract of about four
miles in width, but we anticipated hearing
more discouraging news from east and
north of here The captain of the Curlew
reports that he was in the blow, between
Westport and Basin Harbor, that very
high sea was running, but no hail, con-
siderable rain. The steamer arrived on
time. Parties from Waltham report more
rain there than in Vergennes, but did not
have any hail. The gardens are all cut up,
corn, potatoes, and vegetables. The
grape vines in many gardens are ruined.
| No estimate can be made of the damage
to the farmers, but accounts received later
this evening lessen the area damaged by
hail. Vergennes seems TO have suffered
the most. AS late as nine p. M, there
were banks of snow to be seen where the
wind had drifted it into corners. Up tt
this hour no accident to life have been re-
ported w.C.B.

Death of Gen. Frank P. Blair

ST. LOUIS, July o.
Gen. Frank p. Blair expired last night
at midnight, surrounded by his family and
a few intimate friends. He has been in
precarious state for several months, but
under blood transfusing treatment had be-
gun to grow stronger, and was generally
supposed to be steadily improving. During
the past few days he has taken frequent
rides, and yesterday walked down stairs.
His death came suddenly, and will be a
painful surprise to his many friends, who
had confident hopes of his recovery.
1t seems the immediate cause of Frank
Blairs death was fall he received while
walking from one room to another in his
house. He had been out for drive in the
afternoon and returned about five O'Clock,
he seemed to have enjoyed it much and re-
ceived considerable benefit, but while
walking in his room was attacked with
dizziness and fell, striking his temple
against piece of furniture which rendered
him insensible. Medical aid was immedi-
ately summoned and every effort made to
restore him to consciousness but without
success, and at half-past eleven he quietly
passed away, surrounded by all the mem
beers of his family. His parents have beer
telegraphed for and will probably arrive
here in time for the funeral on Sunday
The family desire quiet funeral but the
members of the old Missouri regiment, o.
which General Blair was first colonel, hav'
called a meeting for tomorrow and will
probably decide to accompany the remain
of their old commander to his grave, an
other organizations may determine do like
