THE BRAINARD DISASTER.
Further Particulars Of the Falling
Bridge,


ST. PAUL, MINI July 2S.-PersOns ar
rived from the scene Of the railroad bridge
disaster at Braiuard, furnish additional
particulars Of interest. As the train was
crossing the bridge the engineer heard the
cracking, and put on steam to escape. His
efforts proved TOO late 10 save his life.
The central span Of the bridge broke down
under the welcht Of cars loaded with iron.
and both ends Of the train were drawn
into TIE wreck, the engine and several cars
being drawn backward and tie remainder
of the train forward. The central
span and the two Western spans
Of the bridge are down. The engine, ten
der and two cars -hat were pulled back
ward falling on west shore and the remain
der going into the river. The crash made
by the wreck was heard al a distance Of
three-quaTters Of a mile. The river at this
point is about 800 feet wide and the water
IS from to feet deep. There appears to
have been but one brakeman on the train.
Luckily be was behind the cars loaded
with iron. and - he saw them going down
be ran for hls life across the top Of the
freight cars, but finding he could not reach
the end Of the train in time, climed down
an iron ladder on one of the
cars and Jumped of on a portion Of the
bridge which remained standing, and was
unhurt. The wreck is described as fright
full to behold. With the exception Of the
engine and Two cars on the west bank, the
entire train, numbering, including The
caboose, twenty-one cars is in a heap in the
river. The cars are most emphatically
smashed into kindling wood. All agree
That the bridge absolutely broke down be
meath the weight of the train, and that no
car left the track until the break occurred.
Names sent yesterday include all the per
SOILS fatally injured.

An Indignant Protest Against the
Bird Trnnic-The Cruelty Of Caging.
To the Union and American:
/ DOtice in a recent issue Of your paper
an article upon the traffic i'm mCcking
birds. The facts stated are shameful and
highly discreditable % those engaged in
such a cruel vocation. Nor are those who
patrOaiza this wicked business less censur-
able Tie practice Of catching, selling
and buying mOCking birds cannot be CON
Gemned in terms too strong, and all persons
claiming to entertain feelings Of GEN
uine refinement should, by every
means in their power, frOWn down this
discreditable business. Our Legislatures
could not pass a more humane law than one
that would secure birds perfect immunity
from mOlestltiOn in their natural state; /
mean so f-r as cagiHg and making them
subject 70 the vicious Whims and ca
prices Of persons of bad taste is concerned.
Ii is surely q crime TO imprisOn them for
life merely 10 crafty = vitiated taste for
music. / say vitiated, fer no lady or gen
tlemau OF a high order Of refinement could
listen to that peerless sOugster, the mOCking
bird, with any degree of pleasure, when
knowing that the poor bird is a lifelong,
helpless prisoner. sympathy for the un-
fortunate and innocent little sOngster would
leave no room for enjoyment. Shame upon
the man or woman who can be- so thought
lessly OF deliberately cruel as 20 cage a bird,
merely to gratify a crimiually selfish and
depraved taste. Liberty, freedom to roam
a. will is, WIth birds as with man, the
greatest earthly boon. Their lives are
short, their JOYS are few; and, their Capaci-
ties considered, they doubtless feel their
pains and pleasures as keenly as We feel
ours. i would not cage and keep confined
for life a helpless Iiule bird-especially
mOcking bird-fOr the richest gem that ever
sparkled in the diadem Of royalty.
After reading tie article upon this cruel
traffic, I looked in vain for some comments
condemning the practice, and was some
what disappointed. Now, your paper is
second to none I'm the State as one Of the
educators Of public sentiment. We fre-
qusnlly read iu its columns tie deeds Of
the good and great expressions Of noble

Closing of Mills in Dundee.
GREAT BRITAIN.

LONDON, July 2S.-The suspension of
Duncan, Sherman & G. has no appreciable
effect on the general market here.
Thirty-One mills closed at Dundee and
1900 persons are out of employment.

The trial Of Alexander Callie Il Co.,

pretenses, began at Guild Rail this morning,
but on conclusion Of tO-day's proceedings
was adjourned a week.
in the House Of Commons this after
noon Sir Charles Adderly, President of the
Board of Trade, introduced bill further
TO empower the Board Of Trade TO prevent
unseaWOrthy vessels from sailing. In pre-
senting the measure, he said that PlimsOlPs
bill was not acceptable to the Government
because it was based on wrong principles.
Here he was interrupted by cries of "nO.7
Continuing his remarks, he said the bill
was also Objectionable because, besides
furnishing offenders, it actually takes upon
itself the conduct Of the marine service.
The act of 1872 already empowers the
Government to stop unseaWOrthy ships.
Since then 958 vessels had been stopped, OF
which 5l5 were found to be UnseawOrthy.
The present bill was intended TO strengthen
the Executive, facilitate more rapid
and direct action, and provide a
sufficient number Of officers to
efIectualIy detain unseawOrthy ships. 1t
also allows fourth part Of the crew to de-
maDd a survey. Finally, it was merely an
earnest of fuller legislation 70 be had next
session.
Sullivan thought the lead line provision
for slowing grain should be engrafted in
the bill.
Rcebuck denied that the bill would sat
isfy the country. He advocating continu-
ing the consideration Of Plimpsoll's bill.
Various other members followed, more
or less censuring the bill, while wishing to
extricate the government from its difficulty.
Finally, the bill passed its first reading.
Its second reading is fixed for Friday morn
ing.

CINCINNATI, July 2S.-A special to the
Enquirer from Ur5ana, Ohio, says the

Memphis Avalanche, July 2s.
The news will be extremely gratifying to
planters in the low grounds along the wax
ley of the Mississippi river and its tTibUts-
Ties, that the river has attained its greatest
height at this point on tine present rise, and
that from this time forth the wa,sr is likely
to decline, slowly at first, 10 be suge, but a
few days hence more rapidly.
Friday last, after reaching to within two
feet three inches Of the rise Of early last
spring, the river at Cairo began 70 fall, and
up to last night it had receded one foot in
all. The water at St. Louis has fallen over
five feet in all. All rLe streams above tbeTa
are dropping; the Ohio is falling from
Pittsburg 10 Cincinnati, and It is hardly
possible that the rise now going Oh between
Louisville and PaduClh, at the mouth of
the Tennessee, will do mole than check he
rapidity Of the decline which has set in at
Cairo.
Here the water last evening was nearly
stationary, and it stood within 70 inches Of
The spring rise, and within 3 inches OF
the great rise Of 1867. The banks are fun
to the brim, and in a few low places they
are stopping over a little, but up to the
present time the damage has been tTItling.
Not five hundred acres Of cotton, 'all told,
has so far been injured counting in every
mans losses from Cairo to the Gulf.
On Dr.. Peters pla1tatiO at the foot Of
Council Bend, so miles below this city, a
few acres, perhaps 20 or such a matter Of
corn and cotton has been injured by the
rise of the river. About so acres, and, per
haps, more Of the front of his plantation
has cayed into the river, and when the
water falls, more will be liable 10 tumble
in. The gin house, residence, negro
cabins and Out-buildiugs have all been
moved farther back within the past few
days. The orchard on the place has been
swept away. This C5viug was caused by a
cut Off in the river which took place last
year. Except the above, DR.. Peters fine

IMPENDING STARVATION IN THE
SOUTH.


Should the drought continue, starvation
will stare this section in the face, as crops
will be ruined. Cotton is shedding as fast
as it can, corn looks as if it had been boil
ed until all the life bad gone out. Small
trees are dying for the want Of moisture
A gentleman who rode into the country
Sunday SAYS he saw at least hte hundred
dead trees. In coming out Of the court
house yard yesterday leaves twisted and
Drowned were falling as thickly as during
the fall. Farmers are very gloomy. For
three weeks, now, no rain has fallen, and
the heat has been more intense than any
summer since the war.
We are told on good authority OfOne one
hundred-acre field near ShOrer's depoJ on
the line of the Western Railroad, in Ala
bama, which was planted in cotton be-
tween April 1st and 9th. The drought
has been so bad that not seed has come
up.
In every quarter IN Georgia and Ala
bama planters are suppl eating for rain.
Some very little must have fallen around
Columbus last afternoon, but hardly
enough TO wet the top Of the ground.

THE DOMINION
Favorable Crop Reports.

TORONTO, July 2S.-The Globe has ff-
teen columns Of special reports about the
crops from different places in Ontario,
Quebec, New Brunswick, Prince Edwards
Island and Nova Scotia. The following
is a summary: Fall wheat, although be
low the average, will be a larger crop than
at one time expected. Spring wheat is
about an average. Oats, barley and peas
are heavier than for many years in proper
tiOn TO the area covered. Indian corn is
greatly improved and will turn out better
than expected. The potato crop is large,
aud the root crop generally very heavy.
Hay is an AVERAGE crop. Small fruits are
abundant; apples less plentiful. In other
fruits there VIII probably be a deficiency.
