The situation at st. Anthony Falls at the
close of yesterday was much improved from
what 1t was the day before, and more
hopeful feeling prevailed among all classes
1t is now confidently believed that the danger
is past, and that the logs and valuable pro
perty above the falls are all safe. The water
is slowly recsdiug, and the mills are all prepar-
ing to start up as soon as the logs can be
handled with safety. This state of things is q
wonderful relief, and th9 mill men at least
breathe easier. A great danger has been hap
PLY passed with little loss, which consists of
about 100, ,000 feet of logs which went over
the falls-a light demage TO tie lower part
of the apron-Lhs destruction of the guy pier
of the suspension bridge-the carrying off
of some rs cords of wood and the suspension
of work at some of the mills.
AdYices from Anoka and other points
unite in saying that the logs are all safe and
that the water in Rum and Elk rivers is fall
ing gradually. The weather gives promise of
being fair for some time to come, and every
thing is serene.

munication from B. B. Lewis of Alabama
stating he had rendered his resignation as &
member of Congress, to take effect on the
| 1st of October. Laid on the table.
Mr.. Atkins, under instructions from the
committee on appropriations, introduced a
bill to constitute joint commission for car
rying into effect the convention concluded
between the United States and the French
republic for the settlement of certain claims
of citizens of either country against the
other, and signed at Washington the 18th of
January, 1880, and making an appropriation
of 100000 for payment of salaries, etc.
The bill was passed, the Senate bill of the
same import having been sent to the COM
mittee of the whole, on the ground it was
not competent for the Senate to originate
such bill.
A motion to adjourn was here interposed,
and Immediately tho House was in great
confusion owing to the fact that nearly every
member was on his feet clamoring for rec
ognition. Few, however, were fortunate in
obtaining the unanimous consent needed,
and those who did had charge merely of
some resolution relative to the pay of House
employees. The motion to adjourn was with
drawn, and the House, after long wrangle,
took recess until tomorrow at 10 O'Clock.

CINCINNATI, June 14.-The heaviest rain
storm known for long time visited the city
between and 10 o'clock tonight. Within
those two hours the rainfall was $50 inches.
Since then enough has fallen to make the
total more than inches. Telegraph wires
to the north and east went down. Advices
from Kokomo, Indiana, says cyclone visit
ed points near Frankfort and Cicero, in that
State, destroying buildings. Several persons
were reported killed and many wounded, but
the wires being down the names could not
be obtained. AdyIces from the headwaters
of the Ohio river indicate considerable rise
coming.
CINCINNATI, June 15.-The storm of last
night was very general through Southern
OHIO and Indiana. Many houses were
blown down. Samuel Miller, wife and four
children were all badly injured. David Cir
borts' house was blown over and Miss Cir
Dor fatally injured. The Methodist and
German Lutheran churches were complete
ly destroyed. st Glendale, Ohio, number
of houses were unroofed and the village al
most wholly dispoiled of shade
and fruit treos. AT Ripley. Ohio,
J. A. Tweed's tobacco warehouse was
struck by lightning and destroyed; loss
$4,000, insurance $4,000. At Shelbyville,
Indiana, Abraham Clark was caught by the
wind and carried into the air. When be
fell he received fatal injuries. Great destruc-
ton to farms is reported all through the
country immediately north of Cincinnati,
but no loss of life. A foil of fish is report

WINoNA, Mimi, June 15.-From Z o'clock
Monday evening" to 11:2O Tuesday morning,
the water had risen II d inches, at which
time it was fourteen feet threo inches above
low water mark. The Winona ard st. Paul
depot was vacated to-day, and Mr.. McCul-
Tough gave orders that freight would have to
be received at the machine shops. Arrange
ments were made for transferring passen-
gers near the mill of Youmans Bros. g.
Hodge, just above the fair grounds. 1t
threatens the st. Paul track, and force of
men were engaged to-day in protecting it
with gravel and stone. Should thu water
break through here, it would sweep across to
the Winona & st. Peter road, and probably
result in break of communication on both
roads. The water has been rising at the
rate of an inch an hour through this after
noon, aud seriously threatens the railroad
embankment between the mill of Youmans
Bros. & Hodge and the machine shops.
The Onalaska bridge is in precarious
condition. The water at both approaches is
four feet deep, and the rise now reasonably
to be expected will pretty nearly float it
away.

Stripped to the Buff in No Time.

Yesterday afternoon, at Hanggi, Cady &
Medicke's furniture factory on Eighth street,
between Cedar and Minnesota streets, Louis
Becker was adjusting belt to revolving
pulley when his shirt sleeve caught on the
pulley key. 1t was an overshirt and strong
one, and in an instant Mr.. Becker was going
around with that pulley at the rate of $50
revolutions to the minute. The engine was
stopped as quick as possible and Mr.. Becker
helped down. Fortuna tely he had clear
place to circle in and therefore was not dan
gerously injured. Just how it was done no.
body could tell, for while bis mates were at
tending to stopping the engine Mr. Becker
was in no condition for noting what was 60
ing on, but when the engine was stopped he
was found to be stripped naked,
not even shred of cover
ing being left on his person. But he
can we'll be content that his clothes suffered
and he did not. Barring the shock and the
exhaustion, from which he will probably be
recovered by nights rest, the end of the
accident was more la1ghable than serious,
though feeling how narrow had been his es-
cape from a horrible death none who saw
him felt just then like laughing.
