WASHINGTON, March i2.-The case of the
Widow Oliver VS.. ex-senator Cameron has
been set for trial in the circuit court OF this
district to morrow. 1t is understood botn
sides are ready and the trial will proceed.
Or. Woodworth, Surgeon General OF the
United States Revenue Marine service, is

The parties who backed the various jobs
that faxed in tee last Congress announce their
intention OF trying it again in the extra ses-

bies for the Geneva award, that attracted SO
much attention during the latter part Of the
late Congress, viii be on hand during the
extra session. One Of these Hobbies was sent
here by the insurance companies and the
other by the war premium interest. 1t not
at-all probable that either party will succeed.

THE SPEAKERSHIP.
A CLOSE CONTEST BETWEEN BLACK
BURN AND RANDALL.
Eseimate Of Randaii's southern Vote
The Chances slightly i'm Favor Oi
Blackburn Where Tilden Comes In.

FSoecial TO the DemOcrat.I
WASHINGTON, March D.-The canvass for
the Speakership is rapidly assuming tangi-
|tble shape. Blackburn and Randall have the
field all to themselves, and 1t seems to be
question of the most votes At this writing it
may fairly be said that Blackburn has about
sixty-five square pledges and Randall about
sixty, with twenty-five men, mostly new
members, who have not arrived, to hear from
1t Is really the first good square contest that
has been waged for the Speakership In forty
years, and old campaigners say they do not
remember the time when contest for that
office remained undecided to within five days
OF the time fixed for the convening of Con-
gress, as Is the case now.
Randall Is holding his ground In Southern
delegations relatively much better than in
those of the Northern and Northwestern
States, notwithstanding his remarkable dis
play Of enmity to Southern interests during
the last two years. He will probably hold
Georgia solid as heretofore, though Blackburn
and his friends have profoundly disquieted
the minds of at least three out of the nine. In
Alabama he will have Herbert, and perhaps
two others; In Mississippi he holds Single
ton and Money; in Tennessee Whtthorne and
Atkins, certain, with one more possible; In
Louisiana he claims two, Gibson and Acklen,
but do not think the claim will hold good !;
in Arkansas he will get one and in Texas two
or three.
This is the situation, so far as the States In
the range of Democratic circulations are con-
cerned.
1t Is notorious here that Randall's canvass
for the Speakership Is In Tiden's interest out
and out. Indeed Randall's friends dom t
deny 1t. The result Is that the canvass has
assumed the aspect of q presidential, rather
than Of party Spcakership fight, and will
be fought out on that line.
| It Is impossible to predict which will win
But discounting all chaff and gas, of which
there is plenty on both sides, should say, at
this writing, Blackburns prospects were to
RandaIls as five to four.
| According to present indications, Randall
will get not over eighteen out Of forty-two
strictly Northern votes In CAUCUS He must,
therefore, get at least fifty-six out of a
hundred and five strictly Southern votes in
cluding Missouri In order to win. He may
get them, but l can't see where they are to
come from. A. G. B.

Further Details of the Hungarian Floods
The Reported Horror Not Exagger'
R,ed-s0, geo People Homeless.

LONDON. March 12.-Dispatches from Pesth
respecting the terrible destruction caused by
floods along the river Thesis, give graphic
descriptions of this almost unprecedented
calamity. The city of SzegedIn Is the capital
OF the county OF Czongrad, and Is situated
ON the right bank OF the river and opposite
the mouth OF the river Maros. 1t stands
In marshy plain and extends for o con-
siderable distance along the bank of tho
stream. The river is crossed by O bridge
of boats The city contained six
Roman Catholic churches, Catholic gymna-
stun and handsome Greek church. Its
principal manufactures were cloth, tobacco,
soda and soap.
Three dams which were erected to protect
the city from the overflow Of the river proved
unavaling. Two burst two days ago, and a
very large force OF men WAS then set To work
to strengthen the remaining one, but all ef-
forts to prevent the bursting OF the dam
proved unavailing. The waters at last pene-
trated the city, and the country in few
hours was deluged for miles around. Ihe
lower portion Of the city was instantly sub
merged, and its inhabitants were drowned by
hundreds. Many houses were overturned and
swept away, and the whole place Is now a
scene of indescribabie desolation.
The lowest estimate OF people rendered
homeless by this deluge is placed at $4,000.
No correct returns respecting the loss OF lie
have yet been afforded.
The river Is still rising, and further calaml-
ties seem inevitable. All along the line OF the
river are villages submerged by the floods,
farms and farm buildings were destroyed,
and as the food sweeps along the bodies Of
drowned cattle and human beings are to be
seen In great numbers.
The village of Dorozsma has been COM
pletely annihilated, every house being swept
away.
The authorities at Pesth were appealed to
to send succor to the survivors, whose entire
means OF subsistence have been thus de-
stroyed. 1t Is proposed to call meeting
here for the purpose Of raising funds to alle-
viate the Immediate necessity OF sufferers
and to aid them In refurnishing their farms.

The National Associated Press Idea OF the
speakersh,p COntest-HOw Randall
liz Handicapped.

WASHINGTON, March 12.-The contest for
the Speakership may be fairly said to have
opened to-day. But two candidates are form
ally in the field, and the concentration is up
on them, viz: Samuel J. Randall and j. c.
s. Blackburn. The former is supported main
ly by the present organization OF the House.
those anxious to preserve the status quo
Messrs Atkins, Blopnt, Cook. Scales,
Robertson, Gunther, Buckner. Bright, Regain,
Wood, Clymer, Harris of Virginia, Sparks
of Illinois, and Cobb gof Indiana, are
the most prominent adherents of Randall,
and each of these holds prominent place In
the present arrangement of the committees.
Per contra, Messrs. Hooker, Ellis, Hunter
Tucker, Morrison, Cox, House, Bragg, Bouck,
Springer. Mcmahon, Ewing Phelps, Aiken
Evans, Davis of North Carolina Chalmers
Manning, Casey, Young, Clark of Missouri,
Herkle and others as prOment, are solid for
Blackburn or are hostile to the canvass OF
Mr.. Randall. The chance seems to be there
fore with the candidate who can exercise the
most influence with new members.
Randall is undoubtedly badly handicapped
with what might be termed so far as the
committees are concerned, the disadvantage
Of made up set In the event of his election.
There are apt to be few vacancies in the sets
from the Southern States especially good
places in the committees that are absorbed
by sitting members, who will most likely be
retained In the event of Randalls election
For instance there are the chairmanships of
| from Tennessee, presenting a poor show for
new members or old ones from that State
North Carolina has Patents and Indian Af-
fairs; Virginia has the Elections and po-
sition on the Judiciary Committee equal to
the chairmanship, both held by Harris The
opposition say that the only hope of having
a national arrangement of committees is to
elect a new Speaker, and new cut, shuttle
and deal all around.
The news from Pennsylvania that four out
OF eight Democrats in that delegation will
vote for Blackburn, is discredited by the Ran
dali men.
Senator Wallace, who is fighting for Black
burn, leads the detection In that delegation
1t Is said that Randall is the disturbing ele-
mentin their State politics, and that it is Of no
use to defeat his pans in the State every year
II he can come to Washington and be elected
Speaker, gatheringI up thereby fresh lot
Of ammunition with which to renew his fight
In the State. On the other hand, Randall
says he has Pennsylvania all right and no.
body Is fighting him but Wallace and the
strikers of the Pennsylvania Railroad. It
may be also stated that Randall Is looked
UPON as the embodiment of the Tilden inter-
est. AS matter of course, all other Demo-
cratic aspirants for the Presidency are Using
their influence to defeat him. In fact, all
anti -Tilden Interests are arrayed against
Randall. There are but few members in the
city as yet, and it is impossible to make any
thing like an accurate canvass of the strength
OF each candidate.

Accident at GilmOre's Garden-A Gallery
Gives Way-sevei nj Persons Injured.

New YORK, March 12.-At twentythree
minutes past & o'clock, while Rowell was In
his 266th mile a terrible scene Of excitement
took place, which for time threatened to de
velop In panic. About 10000 persons were
In the building, when a sudden CRY OF alarm
was heard from the upper end OF the build
ing, and almost Immediately after about forty
feet of gallery platform at the southeast COR
per Of the building gave way with Loud
boxes beneath. Nearly one hundred persons
were precipitated to the ground, a distance OF
about twenty feet.
For some time every one in the galleries
stood up, and many attempted to rush from
the Garden, fearing that the entire building
was going total in. After the confusion had
somewhat abated the band struck up a lively
tune; the debris, part of which obstructed the
track, was removed, and the Injured, six in
number, were cared for. One OF the injured.
a man named Desony, was removed to the
hospital, his injuries being, it Is feared, fatal
On account Of the obstruction on the track
the contest was delayed several minutes.
At the time OF the accident there were at
beast 5000 persons In the street. A cry was
raised that the building was on fire and a ter
rib'e scene OF excitement enSued, during
which G. number OF persons were knocked
down and tramp3d upon. 1t was at least fif-
teen minutes before the excitement had en-
tirely subsidized and the men were fairly to
work again.
On account OF the extraordinary rush TO
see the contest, the managers held a meeting

FRANCE.
Danger of n Disruption of the Republican
Party-How IL IL Proposed TO Avert IL.

LONDON, March f2-The condition OF
affairs In France gives rise TO much anxiety.
The danger OF disruption Of the Republican
advices received from good sources In Lon
don to-day insist upon this fact, and certain
financial operations Of considerable magni-
tude have been affected by 1t. On the other
hand, however, it is said movement Is on
foot, inspired by Gambetta, to postpone the
impeachment scheme for an indefinite time.
and then allow it to be dropped. 1t is urged
by supporters of this project that no possible
good can result from the Impeachment trial;
that 1t will only tend to agitate the country
and disturb business, and the punishment OF
the impeached members Of the government,
even II they be found guilty, will be practi
caliy impossible.
