Tuesday afternoon, no damage to the lum-

Every precaution is being taken by our mill

vent disasters, and unless toe rivers rise
considerably more there is no danger. Our
dam stands the racket SO far excellently. Mr..

says there is no present danger of the logs

WASHINGTON, June 15.-Mr. Cabell intro
duced bill repeating so much of section
1886, revised statutes, as fixes an export tax
on manufactured tobacco, snuff and cigars.
Referred.
Mr.. Blount submitted the report Of the
conference committee on the sundry and
civil appropriation bills. The statement
which accompanies the report sets forth the
effect of the action of the committee on the
Senate amendments, and was read in the full
bill. AS it passed the House, the bill appro-
pirates $21, ,556,647. The Senate amend
ments amounted to 81, ,74O, 764, from which
the Senate receded to the amount of SS773, $40.
The bill as agreed to by the conference COM
mittee appropriates $22, ,523, SOL. The clause
directing the secretary of the treasury to pay
the money appropriated in the bill in silver
coin, is stricken out, and clause added ap-
proprieting $4,000 for expenses of the In
dian commission. The report was adopted.
Mr.. DibrelI submitted the report of the
conference committee on the agricultural
appropriation bill. The bill as agreed to ap-
propriates $251, 300. The report was
adopted.
The morning hour was dispensed with and
the speaker announced the pending question
to be on seconding the demand for suspend
ing the rules and passing the Carlisle sugar
bill, which motion had been made yesterday
by Mr.. McLane. The opponents of the bill
led by the Louisiana representatives flibust-
cred, and by withholding votes left the house
without quorum. A call of the House had
been ordered.
An exciting scene occurred in the course
of the short discussion upon the sugar bill,
in which Conger declared it was devised TO
protect foreign labor and destroy American
labor.
Mr.. Frye excitedly and emphatically char
acterized that statement as one which did
not contain word of truth.
Mr.. Conger declared such remark scan
dalous and unworthy its author, and for q
time there was a great deal of excitement
among the Republicans. The Democrats
seemed to enjoy quarrel in what Mr..
Sparks termed the happy family.
When order had been restored the question
REQUIRED on seconding the demand for the
suspension of the rules and passage of The
Carlisle bill, and again no quorum voted.
Pending the call of the Honse Mr.. Cobb
submitted the report of the conference COM
mittee on the general deficiency bill, and
after short debate it was agreed to.
The question then recurred upon the sugar
bill, and again no quorum voted.

The Si.rth Ward,

During the day yesterday the bridge was
lined with spectators watching the flood in
Wes! ST. Paul. The only thing seen to repay
their vigilance was a. old stray shanty which
was carried from Its moorings in Elfelt's ad-
dition and foated down the stream until it
was caught and tied up near the elevator.
The water rose about three inches during
the day, but at night ne serious apprehension
was felt. No one moved out, though good
many are packed up ready to leave in case of
an emergency.

MILWAUKEE, June 15.-Much damage has
been done on Upper Embarrass and Pigeon
rivers by floods. The dam and mill near
Raymondsville, and dam at Raymondsville,
on the Embarrass, and the dam at Perry
Mill, are taken away. The water carried
everything before it, including several build
ings. Great damage is done to crops along
the Embarrass valley, and the entire grain
crop is probably destroyed, and distress must
result to new settlers. All the bridges on
Bear Greek were carried away. The son of
a man named Lyon was drowned. Many
families of that section sought safety in the
roofs of the houses being filed with water.
Many inhabitants are being disheartened
and are leaving for other sections.

LAKE CTTY, June 15.-The high water is
causing considerable damage to property
along the margin of the lake, many dwell
lings being inundated and tho occupants
being obliged to seek temporary quarters in
different places in the city. The large ice
houses here are suoouning to ths watery
elements and the chances are that they will
result in total loss. Ms5y & Bonton,
wheat dealers, have been obliged to move the
entire contents of their warehouse situated
on the lake shore to safe quarters. A wood
barge owned by Ambrose Pillipps of Bay
City, Wis.,, which arrived here on Saturday
night with twenty-five cords of oak wood
aboard foundered and sank during the high
wind and rough sea Monday morning, and

can be saved. It is generally admitted that
the water is the highest ever known here.

1t was reported yesterday that Mr.. J. j.
Payne, shipping clerk at the st. Paul plow
works, had suddenly disappeared about a week
ago, since when nothing has been learned of
his whereabouts. Before leaving, Mr.. Payne is
said to have borrowed 800 from Mr.. Bethone,
foreman of the plow works, in addition to
which the latter gentleman went his security
for $50 borrowed from one of the employees.
His action is regarded as exceedingly strange,
the fact being that he did not even apprise his
brother, we'll known gentleman of st. Paul,
concerning his intention of going away. So
far as known, his accounts are straight, and his
reason for leaving is profound mystery.
Hopes are entertained that he is visiting friends
in Chicago, and that he may be heard from
to-day.

The Bazaar held in Music Hall, by the
ladies of St. Bernard's Congregation, and
which will conclude this "wednesday
evening has been decided success. The
ladies of St. Bernards, are deserving of
great praise for the energy and persever-
ance which they displayed in the various
duties connected with this enterprise
They only about two weeks to prepare all
things necessary for the Bazaar which has
done them so much credit; and for more
than a week they were constant in their
attendance. Last Monday they prepared
dinner for almost the entire Congrega-
ton, which, moved directly to the Hall
from the church. November the 1st is a
day of thanksgiving in the Catholic
church, therefore they held Divine Ser
vice in the forenoon and at l o'clock sat
down to dinner in the hail. For all con-
cerned it was really day of enjoyment.
On Saturday evening the voting for the
gold-headed cane, concluded at 1920

resulted in favor of Mr.. Lindon by 176
majority. Father Cooney presented the

this mark of their esteem and promised,
if elected sheriff, to discharge his duty to
the best of his ability.

Nation u Day of Thanks.

At no period in their history since the
United States became a nation has this
people had so abundant and so universal
reasons for joy and gratitude at the favor
of the Almighty God or been subject to
SO profound an obligation to give thanks
for His loving kindness and humbly to
implore His continued care and protec-
ton. Health, wealth and prosperity
throughout all our borders; peace, honor
and friendship with all the world; firm
and faithful adherence by the great body
of our population to the principles of
liberty and justice which have made our
greatness as nation, and to the wise in
situations and strong frame of govern
ment and society which will perpetuate
it. For all these let the thanks of a
happy and united people, as with one
voice, ascend in devout homage to the
Oliver of all good. I therefore recon-
mend that on Thursday, the 25th day of
November next, the people meet in their
respective places of worship to make the
acknowledgement to Almighty God for
His bounties and His protection and to
offer to Him prayer for their continuance
In witness whereof I have hereunto set
my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed
Done at the city of Washington this
1st day of November, in the year of our
Lord 1880, and of the independence of
the United States the 1O5th.

Serious Ru4ad, U0y accident.

Mr.. and Mrs. John Perry, of Piperville,
met with serious runaway accident
Monday afternoon. Mr.. Perry was driv-
ing spirited team of colts attached to a
carriage and when opposite the residence
of D. 0. Bradbury on Western Avenue a
small dog rushed in between the horses
and bit one of them frightening the ami
mails to such an extent that they reared
and pitched and became altogether un-
manageable. Mr. and Mrs. Perry mean
while were thrown from the carriage to
the ground and both received painful, if
not serious injuries. They were taken to
the residence of their daughter, Mrs. Will
liam Wurtzler in the First ward where
they both still remain unable to be re-
moved to their home. Fortunately
neither of them have any bones broken
and hopes are entertained that they may
soon recover from their serious mishap.
This accident ought to prove warning
to those who keep worthless ours on their
premises. Ifpeople will insist on having
such pets they should at least see to it
that they are kept within their own en-
closures and not allowed to be the means
of petty annoyances or serious trouble to
people such as we are obliged to chronicle
in this case.

The A0Onu Is Deer.

The national election for 1880 is over
and there is probably not man, woman
and child in this broad land that is sorry
for it. A republican can now greet a
democrat we trust in friendly manner
without being suspected of some evil de-
sign. He can roam in an unfrequented
street if he chooses without being watch
ed by the opposition who imagine that he
has fell design on some shaky member
of the democratic party. We shall hear
no more of 1929" and democrats and re-
publicans will no longer meet each other
with determined and fierce expressions.
Considerable bad blood has been engen-
dered between the political opponents,
and many hard words have come from
both Sides The past ought to be buried
and words said in the heat of political
battle ought to be forgotten now that the
fight is over In a few days we will
settle back into the even tenor of our
ways in the enjoyment of life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness, and the
great political contest OF 1880 will be
talked of as a thing of the past. So mote
it be.
