Toledo, ONO, dispatch Of the l4th
says: At II O'clock last night the
iron front to the city broke up with q
crash, and the water rose rapidly,
covering the docks and flooded Water
street, and the water is several feet
deep in the Offices and warehouses
along the river front. Six vessels,
grain laden, were torn from their
mornings and swept down the stream,
carrying with them tho west span IT
the Cherry street bridge, and the
wagon and foot bridges connecting
with East Toledo. The excitement is
very great. The river is rising from
ono % two inches per hour, and il now
five feet over Water street. The wa
ter covers the first floor Of The Union
depot from I to feet, and the guests
have all been removed from the Island
House. It now seems likely to freeze
up, which would cause endless loss
and suffering. The loss now is esti-
mated al half q million dollars.

turns. There is no return from the town Of
Blaine in Aroostook county, simply piece
of paper purporting to have been signed by
the deputy clerk" showing that Davis had
30 votes and Plaisted "a. The vote of Vas
salboro' is not counted, as the return was
not signed by the town clerk. Vassalboro'
gave Ala for Davis and 80 for Plaisted. In

return was not signed by the clerk. This
plantation gave Davis II and Plaisted 5.

RELIGION.
Mr.. Frye on the Funding Bill,

During the debate in the National House.
Saturday, on the proposition TO fix the rate
of interest on the notes and bonds to take
up the and 8 per cts, at not exceeding g.
l-2 per ct, instead of 3 per Ct, Mr.. FRYE of
Maine, said =
81 voted for the 3 per cent. rate in COM
mittee before vacation. When | went home
| met large number of business men in
different Eastern cities, and have come TO
the conclusion that it will be utterly mpos-
sible to float a 3 per cent. bond of shorter
term than thirty years. believe the at
tempt TO float a 3 per cent. bond would be
disaster. There are possibly two hundred
millions capital lying idle which might be
invested in per cents running from to 3
years, but not one of the per cents could
be fioated if they have to run from FIVE TO
ten years. Even with the fictitious value
given to the per cents by the committees
action, the per cents have not yielded more
than 3 25-l00 per cent. No country has
ever placed 3 per cent. bond at par The
bonds could not be placed. To undertake
to do this and fail is disaster Leave the
Secretary of the Treasury discretion 10 fix
the rate at 3 - per cent. and the bond
could be sold"

Ireland's Troubles.

In the Queens speech delivered before
Parliament, at its opening, last Thursday,
occurs the following relative to the troubles
in Ireland:
"The anticipation with which | last adj
dressed you of a great diminution of dis
tress In Ireland owing to the abundant har-
vest was realized, but grieve to state that
the social condition of the country has as
sumed an alarming character Agrarian
crimes in general have multiplied far be-
yond the experience of recent years. At
tempts upon life have not grown in the
same proportion as other offences, but |
must add that the efforts being made for
personal protection are far beyond all former
precedents by the police, under direction of
the Executive. | have to notice other evils
yet more widely spread. The administra-
ton of justice has been frustrated with re-
spect to these offences, through the impos-
siblllty of procuring evidence, and an ex-
tended system Of terror has thus been
established in various parts of the country
which has paralyzed almost alike the exer-
else of private rights and the performance
of civil duties. In a state of things new in
some important respects, and hence with
little of available guidance from former
precedent, have deemed it right to put in
use the ordinary powers of the law before
making any new demand, but demonstra-
ton of their insuficiency, amply supplied
by the present circumstances of the country,

senator Hamlin's Public Life.

Hannibal Hamlin is the father" of the
Senate. His service in that branch ante
dates that Of any other by many years. His
first election to the Senate was in 1913, and
although it has been twice interrupted
once when he was chosen Governor of
Maine, and again when he was elected Vice
President-it covers a period, either as
member or President of the Senate, of al
most thirty years. Before he was Senator
he had served two terms as a Representa-
tive. Only Fernando Wood of all the men,
bers Of either house of Congress was earlier
a member of the lower branch. Mr.. Ham
Inns public life has been long and honorable.
He has been something more than a faithful
party man, but he has always been that. In
fixedness of purpose, and in the courage of
his convictions, he has won a most excellent
reputation and while he was never a talk
ing Senator, nor aggressive in debate, his
sound common sense and his unassailable
integrity have caused him to be respected
and honored. both in the Senate and by all
throughout the land who have watched his
course Boston Advertiser.

The little village of Paris, on the rise of
the Blue Ridge mountain, is buried to the
roofs of the houses under the deep SHOWS

ing terribly. On Christmas day the snow
became so deep, that the inhabitants turned
out and cut canals under the snow so as to
rescue those who were suffering. They
found many frost-bitten and several frozen
to death, as their fuel had failed. 1t was
then determined to economic the fuel in
the buried town by gathering the people in
about twenty buildings. So many people
became i'll from the confinement, that one
building was turned into hospital. On

Mr.. Goss of Bath, publishes letter in
which he says he supported Hale as against
Frye because he wanted to strengthen our
Congressional delegation; that Mr.. Hale is
thoroughly conversant with our maritime
interests and laws which need Congressional
attention; that Mr.. Frye is probably to be
next Speaker of the House, with an infu.
ence in the councils of the nation second
only to that of the President; that "there
are several aspirants for Mr.. Frye's place,
and there are score of men in the district
who would do no discredit to themselves,
their constituents or the State With so
many aspirants the contest would be heated
one, as all political contests are, and it is my
opinion that if the voters of the district
should express their feelings, unbiased. they
would say they have had enough of elections

The First District.
Anderson. to Co..-.s Reed. Seat

The Biddeford Union and journal of Fri
day morning contains the following:
Samuel J. Anderson, of Portland, the de-
feated Fusion candidate for Representative
to Congress from this district, has notified
Hon. 1. Is. Reed that it is his intention to
contest his election. He claims that in sew
eral towns, among them Buxton and South
Berwick IN this county, the election was il
legally held and conducted, that there were
no legal warrants or notices for the election,
and that particularly in Buxton and South
Berwick no proper warning was given to
the inhabitants Mr.. Reeds majority in
Buxton was %, in South Berwick s.
Mr.. Anderson further claims that in Port
land, Biddeford and Sanford several hundred
lawful voters, being the larger portion of
all the employees and workingmen in and
about the various mills of Biddeford and
Sanford and all the employees of Portland
upon its streets and public walks, by intimi-
datlon and undue influence of their employ
ers, toremen and agents, and the promises
of remuneratiye employment if they voted
for Mr.. Reed, and threats of discharge, loss
of occupation and of being reduced to want
If they voted for him, were induced contrary
to their real wishes to cast their ballots for
Mr.. Reed instead of himself Mr.. Ander-
son also claims that in every town in the
district there were votes received and counted
for Mr.. Reed from persons who were not
lawful voters OF the towns where their bal
lots were cast He cites instances of this.
MIR. Anderson concludes his list of claims
by asserting that in numerous towns in both
counties upwards of one hundred lawful
voters who desired and would have voted
for him were by brides of money and other
valuable considerations induced to vote for
MIR. Reed, and that upwards of fifty who
would have voted for him were unlawfuly
prevented or induced not to vote at all,
whereby an honest and fair election was pre-
vented.
Mr.. Anderson has retained ]. b. Edmonds,
Esq, as his attorney and proposes to give
further instances of ilegalites in connection
with the election $50 far as they can reason
ably be procured"

The contest for the position of delegate
in Congress from the territory of Utah. has
been settled By Gov. Murray. after careful
hearing Of the case, who has given the
certificate to Allen 6. Campbell and not to
Geo. q. Cannon who was the delegate
in last Congress. Campbell filed paper
after election with Gov. Murray protesting
that he, and not Cannon, was duly elected a
delegate TO Congress, on the ground that
Cannon was polygamist and had not been
naturallzed as a citizen. Consequently, he
(Cannon) was not entitled to a certificate of
election. Cannon claimed that being a
polygamist did not make any bar to his
election, and also exhibited paper as his
certificate of naturalization. The case was
argued Friday before Gov Murray. The
clerk of court in which Cannon said he had
been naturalized testified that no record
exists of Cannon's Naturalization Cannon's
counsel then claimed it did not lay with the
governor but with the House of Representa-
tives. Gov. Murray dssented. As an act
of Congress organizing Utah, says the gov
ernor shall declare who is elected, and no
person, not citizen, is capable of voting or
holding any Office, this made Cannon an
alien and illegible TO hold office of delegate.
also he is polygamist, and in violation of
the laws of 1862 making polygamy felony.
Consequently, votes cast for Cannon are
lost, and Allen G. Campbell, possessing all
necessary qualifications, was declared duly
elected delegate to Congress- The COVER
nor accordingly gave him certificate.
