The precipitation was greater on che south
ern and eastern margin of the rain area
than on the northern and western, tho
heavy fall above given at Omaha and Keo-
kuk being at and near the centre OF
the atmospheric depression. Toward noon
the rain area moved further east
and extended over New York and
New London and southwark to Galveston and
New Orleans but the rainfall became lighter
than during the preceding night. The
effect on the Western rivers is already being
felt A rise of three feet has taken place in
the Mississippi at st. Louis. where the river
is now seventeen feet two inches above low

democratic side. Such democrats as would
vote for Mr.. Tilden in any event will con-
tinue to cry him up as the reform candidate,
but they can make no impression on the
public mind SO long as injurious charges,
resting on apparent proof, are not met by
adequate refutation.
The democratic muddle in this State will
exert the same kind of influence in Indiana
though in lesser degree, which defeat in
York. This wretched and laundering
.tiasco tends to convince the Indiana demo
Gratis that John Kelly aud his associates may
have been right in their emphatic declara-
tions at St. Louis that Mr. Tilden cannot
possibly carry his own State. The sup
porters of Hendricks believed those state
ments then. and it will not require much
new evidence to bring them back again to the
same mind. The democrats of New York are
not acting like party which has any serious
confidence in its own strength. Their
desperate clutching at Mr.. Seymour, like
drowning multitude at o stray piece of
floating timber, may easily be interpreted as
a spectacle of despair. When before has
the salvation of party been felt to depend
on one man, and that man poor remon-
strating invalid who declares himself in
capable of the task assigned him ? If Tilden
is strong why was this frantic attempt made
to buoy him up with Seymour? If the
democratic party of New York has conf
deuce in itself why should it have hung out
that flag of distress and persistently cried
to an old gentleman in broken health to
come and save it? political party is in
bad way when the consent of any one man
to be its candidate is deemed Of so much
importance. The Indiana democrats. who
believed John Kelly when he asseverated
that Tilden could not carry this State, have
reason to believe that he told tho truth at
ST. Louis, or else that he is now scheIning to
verify his prediction because he does not
want Tilden Collector in the Custom House
to interfere with his control Of the local
patronage in this city. View it on whatever
side we may, the democratic canvass does
look encouraging.

JoHN KELLYs CANVASS There was a
thrifty parson who expressed his indifference
as to who might sway the destinies Of Eng
land SO long as he was himself Vicar Of Brny,
and the position Of John Kelly is like that Of
the famous parson. Tilden may come or go;
Morgan may have the State and Hayes the
Presidency but if John Kelly can have tho
city of New York hope will not bid tho world
farewell. Kelly is as much Boss US ever.
and may be more Boss than ever in the DEM
ocratic disorganization. He intends to have
his candidates as hitherto. Mr.. Augustus
Schell is his candidate for Mayor. without
the Sachems or in defiance Of them. It
seems to us tho poor Sachems should be

THE HE'LL GATE DISASTER the invessi
cation of this terrible occurrence proceeds
severnl important facts are coming to light
which will help materially to determine
where the responsibility should rest. We
have already proved that the nitro-glycerine
was brought to the works in cans, wrapped
around with brown paper. witness of the
actual explosion tells us how it occurred, so
that little remains for the Coroner's Jury
to do except to fix the responsibility
The explosive power of nitro-glycerine, even
in small quantities, is very remarkable. We
give elsewhere list of the fatal explosions
of this compound since it's introduction into
the United States and other parts of the
continent. Any ono of these furnishes all
the evidence needed as to the enormous cx.

Tom and Joe.

Everybody will exclaim against the dis
gusting fight which took place yesterday be-
tween Allen and Goss. Yet, bad as it was. il
was not as disgraceful as the inaction of the
authorities who permitted it. The great
est publicity had been given to the event
The arrangements were as open as thos<
for q picnic. Railroad trains were sna
gagged, tickets sold for an excursion, and
the managers of the road did all
sion successful. The very spot was
known where the men were to fight It waa
a kind of parade in defiance Of the law.
Governor McCreary was compelled to notice
it by calling on the military to aid the civil
authorities in preventing the fight or arrest
ing those connected with it. But nothing
was done A thousand rovdies invaded
Kentucky, tho ring was pit,hed and Goss
and Allen began to fight IN the pleasing
manner which is picturesquely described
elsewhere The militia of Kenton county
looked on for while and then stopped the
contest But not ON arrest was made. The
crowd crossed then to Boone county, the
cars having been kept waiting their conven-
ience and the battle was resumed. Here
the Sheriff having gone through the comedy
ofsuggesting on armistice, was complimented
by three cheers, and, having done his duty,
took seat to enjoy the spectacle. The fight
then went on peaosably, as it were, to the
end, and the authorities attempted no fur
ther disturbance.
Tom and Joe are trained gladiators, who
seem to be delighted with the trade. They
enjoyed their punishment and smiled at
each other so far as the swelled condition Of
their mouths would permit of smile.
They are not incapable of generosity, for we
are told that Joe waived claim of foul,
saying he did not think Tom intended
to hit him when he was down. At the end
of the beastly fight they shook hands, a.
they had previously stopped fighting in ~
middle of bloody round to shake hands
with a lady, who, gracing the scene with the
sympathy of lovely woman, was ambitious
of having that distinguished honor. Tom
and Joe are educated brutes who
know no better. But it is very
different with the authorities Who
pretended to prevent the fight while they
were really anxious to see it. The SheHf in
the New Jersey fight where young Walker
was killed showed moro resolution. II ID
useless to denounce prize fighting SO long
as the civil authorities show "a
little disposition to stop it. Possibly
some good may come of the recent
affairs, rs the principals in the New Jersey
homicide have been arrested and Allen ID
lodged in Jail at Newport, Ky. In prison
they should stay as long as the penal code
allows, for the firm execution of the laws il

OBITUARY.

HANNA-NIiss Mary NJ. Hanna, daughter Of
James and Harriet Hanna, was born Novem-
Der p 1882 and died June l6 1876, aged % years,
months and "a days.
She was a member of the church for some four
years, having met with a change at the time of
her union with the same. She continued to
live a pious life and closed up her earthly pill
grimage with bright prospects of a bliSsful i'm
mortality.
1.-THE Spring comes smiling down the vale,
The lilies and the roses bringing;
But Mary never more shall hail
The flowers that I'm the world are springing.
The Summer gives his radiant day,
And Jewish DANES the dance are treading;
But Mary on her couch of clay
Sleeps all unheeded and unheeding.
The Autumn's ripening sunbeam shines,
And reapers to the field is calling:
But MaTy's voice no longer joins
The choral song at twilight falling.
The Winter sends his drenching shower.
And sweeps his bowling blast around her;
But earthly storms possess no power
To break the slumber that hath bound her"
