GEORGETOWN.

RAvAGEs OF THE SToRM.-Old Boreas
was on short tare last night and made
thir gs very lively for a while. The houses
OF Mrs. Hyatt and Mr.. Samuel G.. Young,
Nos. 90 and IL Gay street, were completely
unroOfed, the occupants being forced TO va
cate the premises on account of the flooding
of the same. The damage to the walls and
furniture is considerable. Mr.. Young and
family went TO the Union Hotel through the
drenching rain, and Lieutenant Hurley of
the police force, was promptly on the spot
and detailed two policemen to remain dur.
Ing the night and guard the property. The
roof OF the house occupied by Mr. y. Nord.
nnger, 81 Bridge street, was rolled up like a
scroll, blown across Bridge street, where IL
struck the telegraph wires, breaking them
down, and landed in front of Cropley,s drug
store. Canvass was Immediately sent for
ard an tmpromptu roof put on. Young Mr.
NoTdlinger, while on the roof was struck on
the head by falling brick. He didn't think
II necessary to inquire "who frowd dat las
brick fust." Going further down town our
reporter found large portion of the roofing
on waters warehouse missing. Herr's mill
was also relieved OF its roof on its entire
western side. One bin of grain was slightly
damaged by the rain, and the batting cloths
were entirely ruined. The warehouse used

ner OF High and Water streets had a por.
ton of the eastern wall laid in the mud bv

in demand to- day.

merous claimants referred to, the passage OF
me i oil WOULD lead to furious and pro-
friend TO any OF the claimants and in their
interest, the bill may be used to despoii the
United states and the District OF rights
which they have never willingly conceded.
Would IL not be better that the United States
should vindicate It's title before granting 1t
to private parties? And If 1t is to be grant
ed, why not to the District. in order that
what has been public property since the
formation OF the city may still be preserved
for public revenue and commerce. For these
reasons II is my opinion that, as the execu-
tive authority OF the District, charged with
the guardianship OF its interests you should
not only withhold your recommendation
from the proposed bill, but express YOUR
selves I'D plain terms against its passage.

CATHOLIC AMERICA.

\ Centennial address to the Catho.
lies of the United States was delivered
by the Rev. F. X. Weninger, d. D. at
a melting Of the delegates of the Ro-
man Catholic Central society at Phila-
delphia. After a few Introductory re-
marks, Dr.. Weninger, said that no
sooner was the extreme northern por.
ton of America discovered and inhab-
tied than the mother church turned
her eyes upon it. The proofs of this
are in the churches and the episcopal
see of Greenland. And for consider
able time after Columbus raised the
cross upon the shore Of the new world
all the Europeans who stepped upon
the American ground were Catholics.
The name Of the country, too, is that
Of a Catholic. 'sThiS.' he continued.
sis not the case with the other pOr-
tions of the world, and in all would
seem to be an augury that America is
that part of the world in which q
grand and most important future is
destined for the Catholic church, and
this at an epoch when Time is incling
to it's end. 1t is from America that
the sun daily goes down toward the
night of Time
Dr.. Weninger thought the great OBJ
stacle to the efforts Of the different
kinds Of lay-apostolate was the wide
spread belief that the Catholic church
is by nature opposed to the republican
institutions of America. On the con-
trary, he said, the pope had declared,
by giving q cardinal to this country,
that our institutions do not conflict
with the principles and aims of
Of the Catholic Church. The address
was filled with suggestions as to the
best means of uniting the United
States with the Catholic church, and
closed with this paragraph: "Catholic
America thou shalt remain mistaken,
the last empire on earth. The founda-
ton of thy republic shall not give
away until that of the word shall melt
way, when thou shalt celebrate thy
last centennial with the forever vic
torious and triumphant church, on the

STEAM THRFSHERS.

a farmer makes the following rather
sensible remarks about steam thresh-
ing machines: Il wish to say word
to threshers on the growing demand
for the use of steam instead of horse
power for driving our threshing ma
CHIMES. Our harvest in Minnesota is
late, often not completed until Sep
TENDER, and as the pillow cannot be used
much, If any, after November 1st, the
tlme Tor that important work is very
short. And when we add to that the
horse-killing labor of threshing a large
crop, we find that in order to properly
complete the work of September and
October we must keep more horses the
whole year, or else sell them when
they bring the lowest price and buy
again when at the highest.
Few Of us do either. and the result
is that our blowing is done in hur-
RED and slOvenly manner, often not
completed until spring, and as final
result we harvest crop yielding from
to bushels less per acre than it
would have been with more thorough
culture, besides depreciating the value
OF our farms. So much for one side
OF the question. But how will it effect
the thresher! You incur an extra eX-
pense for an engine, it is true. But is
1t not offset by the capital you now
have invested III the horses you fur
nlsh, and by the fact that you can
keep up q more steady motion, can
thresh more and cleaner, give better
satisfaction, and secure jobs you could
not otherwise get?
1t is folly for you and some of the
old fOgy farmers to condemn the use
OF steam-power because there have
been a few losses by fire by its early
use, when perfection and experience
were both wanting. The use of soft
coal instead of wood, and other i'm
provements and experience gained in
the last year or SO have reduced the
danger from this source, until it is
small compared with the advantage
gained. And any farmer would rather
pay for the coal than feed the ten
horses now required. We are not
progressing with the age, or our neigh
bors either in this respect. Will not
some of you help us and help your
selves by introducing several steam
threshing machines early this year
