LOUISIANA, Mo-, July 3.-There was no
celebration OF the Fourth OF July in the
suy Bottom to-day. The people of that
unfortunate section were too much en-
gagged in saving their movable property,
and even their own lives, before the ire
sistable rush OF the mad waters through
the broken levee.
Early this morning number OF citizens
returned home from the bottom opposite
this city, where they had been engaged
for the past two days in threshing wheat.
They report the water making Its appear
ance and that the threshing machines
had been hauled to the bluffs. The Farm
ers were quitting their work in despair
and turning their attention to saving their
effects and live stock.
At noon to-day the water was increas.
ing alarmingly, and all this afternoon the
steam ferry was crossing people, their
teams, live stock and goods TO this side
OF the river. A family living one and one
half miles from the Illinois shore crossed
last this afternoon, and reported their
premises inundated. By morning the
Mississippi river will be six miles wide at
this point, extending from the bluffs on
this side to the bluffs on the Illinois side.
The train on the Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy railroad bound for Quincy
was compelled TO turn back this morning,
as the torrent had twisted the railroad
bridge over the Suy five feet out Of line,
rendering it impossible to cross. At noon
the train received orders to proceed 10. the
Suy bridge aud transfer passengers and
mail to train in waiting on the other side
OF the roaring river. The Chicago and
Alton Railroad Company is quite solicitous
about its track, and have done everything
preparatory to meeting the enemy. By
Monday the fact will be demonstrated
whether or not the rushing torrent can be
confined.

How the People Celebrated the Third for
the Fourth OF July.

MousDsyILLR, July3 8.
special Correspondence Of the 1ntellgeneer.
Moundsyille celebrated to-day for the
glorious Fourth. The children Of the Sun.
day Schools spent the time PLEASANTLY
from 0 O'Clock in the morning until latein
the evening, and all speak highly Of the
pleasure enjoyed. Many Of our young
folks went to Cresap's Grove on the
Telegram and Courier. They are tiredof
the camp ground, and wished 0 new
place in which TO spend the day. Every
effort was made by few TO secure an
other grove, but 1t was notIpossible to do
SO. This was not because the camp ground
was not a suitable place for such a cele-
bration, but the pupils oil our Sunday
Schools are tired going to the same place
year after wear, and for one do not blame
any OF the young folks who hunted an
other place in which 10 celebrate.
Our camp.ground Is one Of the most
beautiful groves in West Virginia, and 1t
will be much improved before the open
ing Of the camp.meeting. Some very fine
residences are being built. The parsonage
for the Fourth Street minister will be the
finest residence on the grounds.
The steamers Abner 0'Neal and Mallie
Ragon brought q large excursion party
from Steubenville. They spent large
part OF the day reviewing our town, en-
joying themselves as best they could. /
understand about 400 OF them visited the
peniteniary.
Take It all in all the day was well spent,
and all feel this evening very patriotic.
The order throughout the town was good,
and with but few exceptions, during the
entire day.

BRITISH PARLIAMENT.

LONDON, July S.-The action Of tht
House Of Commons on Premier Glad
stones resolution permitting Bradlaugh
to affirm has given great atisiaction to the
supporters Of the Government The next
critical division will be Monday on the
Irish Compensation for the Disturbance
bill.
The House OF Commons went into com.
mittee OF the whole on the Irish relief
bill. Parnell moved TO authorize the Com.
missioners OF Public Works to advance
money within their discretion to Boards
OF Guardians In scheduled districts for
outdoor relief, the whole amount 80 adj
yanced not to exceed 100000. Forster,
Chief Secretary for Ireland, accepted the
motion, and the amendment was agreed TO.
E. j. Synan, Liberal, member for Lin.
erick county, moved that the rate OF inter.
est on such loans shall not exceed one per
cent
Parnell, supporting the motion, ex.
claimed against the shabby conduct OF the
Governor, which, he said, had not grant
ed q penny from the Imperial excheauer
Tor the relief Of Irish distress.
Bradlaugh made his maiden,speech in
support OF the motion, and said this was
either matter Of pure business or gener.
osity. II would be unfortunate, he said,
II the notion got abroad that the Govern.
ment and people OF England and Scotland
intended to be generous only as far as II |
involved no cost to themselves. On be.
half oil many workingmen, for whom he |
was authorized to speak, he asked that
some loss might fall upon them rather
than this measure Of generosity should be |
misunderstood. He asked the House not
10 be generous with half hand.
Mr.. Bradlaugh spoke for about five min.
utes. His delivery was timid and hesita-
ting, very different from that Of his care.
i1lly prepared speech at the bar Of the
House.
The Government opposed synan's mo.
ton, which was rejected by vote Of 1874
TO 53.

COKE AND COAL.
The Cokers' strike In the conneIIsyille
Regions Their Demands Conceded
Present Prices and Prospects.

| FEehtut EEIceN unu EIO1peGtbs
PITTSBURGH, July 3-The latest reports
from the Connellsville coke regions show
that, while at some points the coke-draw.
ers are still drawing, many Of the men
have gone to work in consequence Of re-
ceiying an advance Of from FIVE to ten
cents wagon. At Cokeyille a reduction
OF five per cent. was attempted, but mas
much as the laborers can readily secure
work from the farmers in harvesting their
crops, the bottom soon fell out Of the at
tempt All the coke manufacturers now
agree that they will have TO advance wages
at least 5, and perhaps 10 per cent. At the
present time the coke drawers are receiv-
ing eighty cents per oven, and an ordin-
ary drawer can draw three ovens per day.
There are now 5000 ovens in the Com
nellsville region, producing 800 car loads
Of thirteen tons each Of coke per day. OIL
these ovens 1000 were erected during the
boom, which proved conclusiyely that the
destiny Of coke is closely linked with iron.
Just previous 10 the commencement OF the
boom, coke sold at ninety cents per ton,
but when iron advanced coke kept the
pace until 1t sold at s. per ton. With the
collapse the price dropped TO- 81 so, the
present quotation. The wages OF the
workmen were advanced during the boom
40 per cent and were subsequently, re.
duced 20 per cent. At the present time
there seems TO be tendency on the part !
OF the manufacturers TO advance the price
OF coke, as there Is more active demand,
and iron is stitfening up. II Is on these
points that they are willing to give their
workmen an advance in order TO hold
them.
The manufacturers refuse to make any
long contracts at the present 6gure-Sl 80
per ton-and agree In saying that there
will be an advance in prices in the near
future.
The workmen at 0verholts, who appre-
ciate the position OF the manufacturers,
say that they will not 20 to work until the
price for drawing in the Connellsyille re-
gion is equalized. They have been getting
cents per oven, aud say they
won't stand 1t any longer, aud that the
made some time ago for a re-
duction is merely game OF bluff to keep
them quiet. A prominent coke.manu.
facturer admitted to your correspondent
that the advance would be conceded, as
they cannot afford to allow their ovens to
lie idle in the face ofavery probable ad-
vance in prices.
Atthe present time the outlook in the
coal trade isyery dull. But few Of the river.
pits are working, and the price paid is only
three cents. This price Is not looked upon
with favor in certain districts ,along the
river, and idleness prevails in consequence.
There are not more than seven hundred
thousand bushels along the river ready
for shipment to the lower ports.

TuE Democratic Congressional Conven'
,ioue,lIed to meet in this city on the llth

Nutinsville gathering as a tumultuous
gathering. The elements OF bad blood are
dliIy gathering head for a terrific explo-
sion when the day Of wrath comes, Tingle
i.dumming the district for recruits to his
banner in all directions with tireless
energy, and report says that he is bringing
many prisoners home to Rome. 1t seems
,obe true, without exaggeration, that he
bpressing Col. Ben as he never was press
ed before 1t is even said that he will get
some support in Harrison county-nght
under the Colonels nose as It were. Lewis
eouuty will be here multitudinously, for
in that county every Democrat is commits
stoned as delegate. The new narrow
gauge road will probably put on additional
can for the accommodation Of delegates,
and may be able to declare dividend
soon afterwards. Only the Insane Asylum
will be left behind, and hardly that.
There Is talk OF another deal for delegates
in this county. Tingle's friends say "lay
on MlcduG," and declare that they will
in that event scoop the entire delegation
instead Of seven eighths OF it as at present.
Altogether the prospect is perfectly love-
l,-lor the Republican party. Whether
the Col. or the Sheriff wins there is bound
otea fragrant memory left behind that
will disturb a good many wrathiul NOR
