CamerOn'S Outlook.

Il! must bc admitted that the prospect
for harmony in the Republican party in
this state is not rosy. Senators Mitchell
and Wolfe, Stewart, Lee and Kaufman,
Thomas W. Phillips, Butler B. Strang,
George W. Merrick and the array of
active spirits in Philadelphia who COIN
pose the Independent Reform move
ment in that city and whose labOrs have
made it successful, are men who can
give vitality to Il successful revolt
against Cameron. Indications are not
lacking that they will find followers.
In fact, unlike most "bolts,' in this
one the followers seem to have moved
in advance of the leaders and to have
commanded their course. The Philadcl-
phia conference, apparently ratified at
Harrisburg, might have amounted to
more had the people who voted for
Wolfe not shown a disposition to kick
over the arrangement which he and his
confrereS seemed to have made with the
Cameron committee. The Independent
rank and file have made it incumbent
upon those who would lead them to
make open fight against Cameron and,
while this disposition crops out all
over the state, there is a good
deal of sympathy with it manifested
at Washington, in New York and
from other quarters where Republicans
want to make an issue against the Ar
thur administration. Senator Mitchell's
call to arms and to organization, Wolfe's
renewed hostility and the proffers of as
sistance from nearly every corner of the
state, have had a response from beyond
its borders and the New York Times,
the leading and the ablest organ of its
party in the country, says:
If the Cameron control cannot be thrown
off without defeating the party, shall it be
allowed to continue? Ii it involves all
the evils and abuses credited to it, it
ought to be got rid of at any price for the
sake of the party. Moreover, it is ques
tionable whether it would not be defeated
without any organized Independent move
ment. Party prospects are dubious in
Pennsylvania at best, and there could be
no better timo than the present for fight
ing out this issue Of "boss " rule and let
ting tho immediate party consequences
take care of themselves

An Iceberg -Four Miles Deep.
The bark Fannie E. Cam, of Yarmouth,

LOnghurst reports having passed two
vessels i'll distress-the French brigatine
Granville, with her tOpmasts gone, and
the Nova Scotian bark Mary X Campbell.
Both refused assistance. East of tho
Grand Banks tho vessel passed an i'm

and at ono point towering up to 4 height
Of half 4 mile. Large creeks of water

GREAT FLOOD IN Arkansas,
Overflow of the White and Ouchiia Rive

Overflow of the White and Ouchiin Rivers
damage TO Property.
Jacksonport, Ark, on the White river,
is in the midst of the most destructive
overflow that has visited that section for
years. The water stands 81 feet s inches
above zero point and has fallen three
inches. There is not foot of dry ground
in the town except jefferson street, which
affords refuge to all the stock the citizens
possess. Quite number of families have
been compelled to take refuge in the upper
stories of storehouses. The whole cOun-
try for miles around is ono sea of water.
and the damage to crops and stock cannot
be estimated, but may safely be placed up
in the thousands. A large portion Of Oil
Trough and Big Bottom are under water.
and the damage to the wheat crcp is terri
bic. The present flood is the highest since
1867. If a second rise should come, good
by to everything. The weather is clear,
with strong northwest wind, and hopes
arc entertained that tho worst is over.
Batesville, Ark, has been visited by an
unprecedented rain, continuing in torrents
twenty four hours without a moments
cessation, swelling the rivers and creeks
to height beyond the knowledge of the
oldest inhabitants, and sweeping cyery-
thing before it. Mills, houses. bridges and
fencing were all hurled from their founda.
tions and washed on with a wild fury.
utterly obiiterating tho entire crops on
the bottom lands. Not only the CROPS but
the soil is gone, leaving only the bare clay
surface. Maxfeld & Bros woollen mill
valued at 1000, and Joe Smiths flour
mill, valued at $1,000, are a total loss.
Rutherford's mill was damaged s., 900. A
number of other mills are not heard from.
but all are beloved to be a total loss. II
is generally estimated that $500, 900 will
not repair the loss to which this locality
has been subjected. A young man EN-
ployed at Smiths mill was drowned.
Hot Springs, Ark, is flooded with a
forty eight hours rain. The damage has
affected railway, telegraphic and general
traffic, and has rendered Hot Springs liter
ally isolated from tho rest of the world.
Springs and Crukin City alone cannot be
estimated at less than 100000. The area
Of the rainfall extended for many miles
around, and continuous reports of great
damage done reach here. The Hot Springs
railroad sustained immense loss and dam
age. The track for many miles has been
washed away and three iron bridges were
completely demolished. No mails have
arrived since Tuesday morning, and tele-
graphic communication has been imprac-
tlcablc. The Ouchita rose four feet be-.
yond its banks, and its width extended for
many miles over the country, washing away

IT is not only outside of his faction
that Cameron has trouble. His own
people are kicking. The temper that
was manifested when Wolfe's name was

felt and expressed for some time. There
are ardent spirits in the Cameron clan
who are dissatisfied with what they call
temporizing with the "kickers and
" moonshiners. They believe in a Stall

full that the Nhrtranft campaign policy
of 1872 can be successfully invoked.
This class has not been conciliated by the
expressions of Rawle since his NOM
nation that Cameron's politics
arc " damnable'' nor by Marshall's
free utterance Of similar sentiments.
The demand for the withdrawal of the
nominations of Jackson and Kaufman,
appointed collectors, is to the mind of
these chafed Stalwarts, sign of what
may be expected from the policy of con
cession, and ex-Mayor Stokely seems to
voice their feelings when he says Of
Rawle, 81 guess can vote once against
man who voted three times against
me-" The Philadelphia Sunday RepuJ-
lie highly compliments Rawle and Mar
shall for their fitness to be on any ticket
which was running to defeat the Re-
publican organization"
THE Record may lie right in its state
ment that Bipartisan or personal malice
will make nothing out Of the attempt to
implicate General Beaver in any scan
dals connected with the management of
the state agricultural college in Centre
county," No investigation undertaken
for "partisan or personal malice" OIght
to successfully serve that end. But
since Gen. Beaver has been the official
head of the direction of this college
since 1874, the results of that direction
as compared with the means at hand,
cannot fail to shed much light upon the
fitness Of Beaver TO lie put in charge Of
the executive department of the state
government. The Ledger states the
truth succinctly when it says:
Reform next year-or sOme other year
appears to be about the way Of it with the
state agricultural college, near Belefunte.
1t spends thirty thousand dollars of public
cash every year, with SO little to show for
the money that it takes Legislative COM
mittec every two or three years to 20 on a
search expedition to find the result. An
exploration of the sort is going on now,
aud the chief agricultural product is a
crop of humiiiatng professional imbccility
and scandal"
Tho testimony O1 an eX-preSIuent O1
the college, printed on our first page to
day, to he sure, shows no money actually
stolen, but it shows what the Ledger
calls most woeful "imbecility," and it
is very hard to see how Beaver can es-
cape his chief share of responsibility fOI
it. lie has been at the head of the board
of trustees, and has had ample time to
correct the evils and institute reforms,
Whether he has been unable or unwilling
| to do this makes little difference. In either
case the failure of the institution plainly
reveals his incapacity to properly dis.
charge the functions Of air office which
covers the plan of 4 very small govern
ment indeed, compared with that of our
commonwealth.

jim SHAW'S DEATH.
In Baltimore Moro Than q Mont

In Baltimore More Than q Month.
There seems to be several wrong i'm
pressiOns in regard to the death of Shaw
the Colerain vito murderer, in Baltimore
In an interview with Samuel Badders,
constable of Little Britain township, we
learn that Shaw first came to the hospital
in Baltimore on April 18th, more than a
month after the murder, with bad cut
below his knee, which had been done with
broadaXe. The surgeon dressed the cut
and he went away again. On the evening
of the 18th he again returned and then
staid two weeks after that he died and
was buried in the public burying grounds.
Mr.. Badders went with Shaw's son to
Baltimore to identify the remains. Eleven
bodies were raised before that of Shaw was
found. As soon as the top was taken of
tho coffin the son and Mr.. Baddcrs recog-
nized the face, which was still i'll good
condition, the only difference being that
he had cut off his beard.
How he could have remained in Balti
more SO long without being found seems
hard to explain. He was evidently in that
vicinity very soon after the murder, as on
the day of the tragedy he crossed Como
wingo bridge; about o'clock in the
evening he was met on the hill this side
of Conowingo by John Rhyner, who knew
him we'll. He was then off the road in the
woods, and seemed to be in great hurry.
Unfortunately MI. Rhyner knew nothing
Of tho murder for some time after this.
A warrant was not given to Badders
until after midnight, but he was at the
bridge and on the right trail at noon of
the next day, but from there he could
learn nQthina not seeing Rhyner for sew
eral weSkS alter. :.
Ehaw's body was re e-interrcd where it had
been buried, and it will be left there. His
family ale now perfectly satisfied, and it
is better for them that the whole thing
has ended as it has. Without his capture
or death the property in Colerain could
not he sold, but now the mothers estate
can la finally settled Nd
