g@y" HIGu WATER AND ITS ErFECT.-
As natural consequence from the
recent heavy rains, rise in the Poto-
mae was anticipated; nor have we been
disappointed in the result The river
began rising here on Wednesday morn
ing, aud raised steadily all day, reach
ing height between five andsix clock
in the evening, Of about ) or 6 feet
above its regular standard. And as a
result of It's rising, the false or trest!e
work, used by Messrs. Cofrode IL Say
lor in constructing the new railroad
bridge, OF about two hundred feet in
length, and which was between the 2nd
and 3rd piers in the river, was complete
~ swept away by the high water, about
6 o'clock that evening. Mr.. Cotrodc
Informs us that -, 900 would not com
pensate them for the amount of damage
done, and they will necessarily be de
hyed somewhat with the progress OF
their work. which is very unfortunate
at this time, as they were getting along
so well with their labor upon this great
enterprise. This is the first mishap they
have undergone since they commenced
the construction of the bridge, and we
regret that they have been SO untortu-
nate in this instance, buthopo they may
he able to shortly complete, without
any furtherimpcdimcnt, their worlupo
one of the best and most substantial
bridges over the Potomac.

prime favorite, selling for 200 in pool OF
200. Alter atedius delay the horses ap-
peared at the post and when they went
under the wire Althles,aue was first with
all the others close behind. They soon
became completely punched and a finer
race to the half.mile post was probably
never witnessed. Fortuna then showed
slightly In the lead, with BeatiIude close
to her heels, and ut the thteeqnarter pole
the latter came down with rush on the
leader and under the wire, beating Victim
half length and Fortuna who had drop
ped to third, in the remarkably last time of
2.0Sl, equaling the fastest time on record,
which was made by Charles Graham at
Lexington, May IS, 1877.
The following horses participated IN
the race: Verdict, Florence B., Ada
Glenn, Fortuna, Victim, Miss Harkaway,
Beatitude, and Athelstape. The track was
in the finest condition possible for fast

the extraordinary time made by the two

FRANCE.

PARIS, June 2l.-The municipality voted
100000 francs for the celebration Of the
National fete day, 14.h OF July, on condi-
tion that the General Government grants
100000 francs for the same purpose.
The Chamber OF Deputies to-day passed
the amnesty bill by 1888 to 40. De Cas-
sagnac attacked the bill. Gambetta said
the bill was not the work Of any single
person, but OF q majority. He claimed,
however, share OF responsibility there.
for. Trlnqette's election, he said, could
not have any ulterior consequences. 1t
was necessary to grant amnesty as long as
possible before elections in order that II
should not be turned to account by hostile
parties. The iete Of the 14th OF July
would restore flags which had been shame
fully abandoned. A tombstone must be
placed over the crimes OF the Commune.
The Chamber rejected the amendment
OF Barthe (left centre), excluding from the
amnesty all persons guilty OF crimes
against the common law. II was resolved
that Gambetta's speech be placardeI in oil
the communes.
The Bureaux OF Deputies elected com.
missioner to examine the Amnesty bill
and all members which were favorable
thereto. a.
Andrieux, Prefect OF Police, atthe sitting
OF the Bureaux, SAID when Amnesty was
an accomplished fact, 1t would be the duty
OF the Government to act firmly toward
the Communists. The Government had
not proposed Amnesty from any feeling OIL
favor to Communists, but rather from mo-
tives OF hostility to them.

FOREIGN GRAIN MARKET.

LONDON, June 21.-The Mark Lane Er.
press says: The rains at the beginning Of
the week and subsequent sunshine have
materially improved the condition Of
cereals. Although the wheat plant in some
places is reported thin, 1t Is an average
crop. The prospects for barley are also
favorable. The arrivals Of English wheat
in both Mark Lane and the provinces have
continued small and sales are restricted.
There has been an occasional decline OF q
shilling per quarter for inferior descrip.
tions. The demand for fine English wheat
has doubtless been interferred with by
large arrivals OF Australian. The imports
OF foreign wheat into London consisted OF
white from Australia, New Zealand and
India. Trade has been less firm.
The consumptive requirements OF the
country for the next two months should
be quite sufficient 10 neutralize the ten.
dency to discount the effects OF a good
home crop, while the continent may be
relied on 10 relieve US oil fair proportion
OF the shipments from America. The
purchases the past week have been for
present requirements. All descriptions OF
white wheat receded shilling under the
pressure Of large supplies. Red wheat
has not showed the decline, as the stocks
OF American and Russian now remaining
in London are sufficiently low to warrant
holders in showing great tirmness. IT.
needs only a slight increase in the de.
mand TO advance prices shilling or two,
as Russia is shipping hardly any, while
red winter American has been bought off
the. coast for the continent, and large
quantities have also been shipped thither
direct
The market will now to great extent
beinauenced by the weather, but there
does not seem to be much probability OF
the price OF wheat varying greatly from
the cause OF the previous harvest. II,
however, the present crop prospects on
both hemisphere are realized trade will
have to deal with an unprecedented
surplus OF bread stuffs. The arrivals at
the ports Of call have been limited, but
prices are dropping. The coast is still bare
OF maize. America has not offered wheat
for shipment quite 80 freely but prices
continued 10 decline, especially for prompt
shipment Red winter June shipment Is
quoted at 46ss46s Cd, and July and August
42s 6da43s, Maize on passage and for
early shipment in fair demand, at an ad.
vance OF Sda6i. The sales Of English
wheat last week amounted 10 24,279
quarters at Ais Sd. The imports into the
United Kindgom for the week enoing the
18th inst, were 074, ASS cwt OF wheat and
l69, ,472 cwt Of flour.

ONE wonAN,s DEVOTION.


KANSAS CRY, Mo-, June 2l.-A startling
tragedy was enacted here tonight, result
ing in the death. by suicide, Of the wife Of
Hayde Brown, the condemned murderer.
The execution Of Brown is to take place at
Moberly, Friday. He is now confined in
the Jail in this city.
His wife, an intelligent, preposSessing
woman Of 20, came here with her three
year old child few days ago, and has
spent nearly allher time in her husbands
cell since her arrival. During the entire
day to-day she has been there, and 1t ap-
pears an agreement was made between the
doomed man and his wife that both
should commit suicide at half past seven
tonight
Accordingly, as the time approached,
the woman In her boarding place wrote a
note OF explanation, pinned 1t 70 the
child's breast, and placing q revolver, to
her right temple put bullet through her
brain. She expired Instantly.
Two policemen went to the jail to notify
Brown Of his wiies act, and as they called
him into the corridor they saw him put
something into his mouth hastily. They
instantly grasped him by the throat
and after protracled struggle succeeded
In removing half an ounce Of morphine
from his mouth. The morphine had been
given him by his wife. When called to
the corridor Brown emitted oath after oath
aud curse after curse, and after the poison
was removed he begged TO be killed and
cursed his fate. Brown is thoroughly
bad man, and the strange devotion OF his
wife Is the subject OF much comment.

There was picnic at the Belleview

able.

which the party was treated to some ex.
cellent music from the violin, guitar and
flute, under the manipulation oi Messrs.

gress ol the picnic. What, II any, bust
ness concerning the public was before
them we are not advised.
Wheat harvest has commenced. It ia
fully two weeks earlier than usual. The
wheat is generally good. Meadows are

seems to be satisfaction in regard to the
crops

Special Dispatch to the lntellIsencer.
The National Democratic Committee to
day heard the cases OF contest from New
York, and set down solidly on the Kelly
Cornell. Conkliug delegation. Tammanl
was much disgruntled and the big bravel
are in mourning. The sobs OF Kelly ant
Spinola are resonant, and their woe is in

The Massachusetts regular delegation
was admitted to seats. 1t is headed b!
Judge Abbott. The disciples Of widow
Butler called and were not received
They, together with the "widow," haven
Democratic record above suspicion.
The prominent candidates for the Presi
Dental nomination are Payne, OF Ohio
Jewett, Of New York; Field, Of California
and Bayard, Of Delaware. These are thu
prominent aud the strongest candidates
while Hendricks has some followers ant
SO has Hancock, but the Democratic cor
raj is full OF black steeds.
There are more clark horses" in thu
Bourbon barn than there ever was in the
famous Black Horse Cavalry Of the Con
iederate army. You never saw such {
herd of colored equines. The danger Il
that selecting without deliberation IRON
this gregarious mass Of ebony steeds {
mule or a iackass may win the prize. Ir
truth there is no certainty where the nom
mating lightning may strike. The unex
pected always happens rather than tht
expected. Morrison, of Illinois, has {
record OF right and integrity through
twenty years Of Congressional service
which may bring him 10 the front in thii
iree.for-all race.
David Davis, though somewhat overiec
and feariully fat, is named as q possibility
for the first place, with Clarkson N. Pot
ter, Of New York, for Vice President.
Good feeling prevails everywhere. There
is no strife and the Democracy are har'
moniously solid. So far no seats have
been sold and no corruption discovered
among doorkeepers.
The West Virginia delegation elected
Henry G. Davis, chairman. The whole
State is represented by hundreds oi
visitors. The four Congressional aspi'
rants, Wilson, Tingle, Campbelland John
son, were in very close consultation last
night and are towards each other the most
courteous gentlemen in this vast throng
Judge Hoadly will be temporary chair
