POLITICAL POINTS.

At convention at Nashville of the
State Credit Democrats OF Tennessee, ]. II.
RUSSELL was placed ia nomination for Governor.
The Republican (Cameron) State Cen
trail Committee of Pennsylvania met at Phila-
delphia to restore harmony in the party. The
candidates for State offices were invited into
the hall, and presented letter placing their
claims in the hands Of the committee. 1t
was then resolved to send the Independents
four propositions from which a choice can
be made--vz.. that both tickets be submitted
to vote of the party at the primaries !;
that the party at the primaries select
ticket by popular vote that a new convention
be held on the fourth Wednesday in August
These propositions were all rejected by the
Independents, on the ground that the
acceptance OF either offer would amount to a
virtual surrender of all the principles
for which they are contending and a reaf-
frmation of all the abuses Of which
they complain. The candidates On the indie
pendent Republican ticket addressed letter to
the Cameron nominees saying that some of the
propositions made would produce harmony in
the party, and urging the withdrawal of both
tickets, al the candidates TO pledge themselves
not to accept another nomination., new con-
vention TO DO held under the rules Of the recent
conference.

DREADFUL CALAMITY.
Nearly Thirty People Killed by n
Falling BuiIding.

During the progress of heavy thunder
storm at Texarkana, Ark, lightning struck a
new three-story brick dwelling, shattering the
walls, which, topping over upon an adjoining
saloon, crushed 1t to atoms, burying i'll the ruins
between fifty and sixty people, many of whom
had taken temporary refuge therein from the
storm. The announcement OF the disaster
passed swiftly all over the pace, and, despite
the raging storm, an immense crowd OF people
gathered around the fallen building searching
for relatives and friends. or trying to learn the
extent Of the appalling disaster. The lights In
the crushed structure set fire to the debris,
and the peril of widespread conhagraton and
consequent cremation OF scores of dying and
suffering unfortunates was added to the horrors
of the scene. By the herculean efforts OF
citizens the flames were extinguished, not, how
eve-, until two or three buildings had been de-
stroyed. The work of searching for the bodies
of the killed and wounded was commenced as
quickly as possible. A great crowd gathered
around the crushed buildings, the town being
in mourning and business almost entirely sus-
pended. About thirty dead bodies were taken
from the ruins.
The dead, when found, presented sickening
sight. The bodies were generally mangled,
charred and crushed. The friends Of the
slain, as they recognized the dead, made the
air ring with cries OF agony, and the scene was
affecting and heartrending in the extremA

which would be loo, OO0, 900 bushels, is
now virtually out Of the question, and about
the best that can be hoped for is that the yield
will aggregate 1000. 100000 bushels. 1t may fall
short OF that amount with unfavorable weather
during the next eight or ten weeks. As regards
winter and spring wheat, oats, Aye and barley,
the returns are remarkably favorable. The
average for winter wheat stands at lo4 against
SO year ago, and all promise an unusually
large yield. "'

Stacking and Burning of Alexandria
Horrible Atrocities.

The entire garrison OF Alexandra withdrew,
while under the protection OF flag Of truce on
the morning OF July IS, leaving the city in
flames. The city had been fred in several di-
rections by the released convicts, who, in con-
junction with the Bedouins and women, perpe-
trated horrible atrocities. They murdered
hundreds Of Europeans and Christians, the
survivors being compelled to fight their way to
the beach, and there being rescued by the tele-
graph ship Chiltern.
A correspondent on board the Invincible tel
egraphs as follows: "After daybreak this
morning number OF persons we're seen on the
edge OF the water OF the harbor. Glasses
showed them to be Europeans. Boats were
at once lowered, and crews. armed TO the teeth,
started to the shore. They found about 100
Europeans, many OF them wounded, who had
gathered in the Anglo-E Egyptian Bank
and had resisted desperately. They had
maintained themselves throughout the
night. Toward daylight their assailants
drew of, and the party made their
way to the shore. They reported that Arab
Pasha, before he left with his troops, had the
prisons opened and that the convicts, joined
by the lower classes and some Bedouins, pro-
ceeded to sack the city and kill every Christian
they could find, and set the English quarter
on fire. From the part they were defending,
the Europeans could hear shriebs and
cries, and reports of pistols and
guns. Scores OF fugitives were cut
down or beaten to death IN their sight. The
European quarter and the great square are
mass of smoking ruins. All the public build
ings are destroyed, and nothing European
seems to have escaped the rage OF the fanatics
The scenes OF carnage on shore are appalling.
The town, for some hours alter the troops left,
was a verItabe pandemonium." 1t is reported
that the bulk OF the Egyptian army is at
Rosetta. forty miles northeast of Aexan-
dria, and at Damanhour. thirty-eight
miles southeast OF Alexandria. The soldiers had
joined in looting the city before leaving it.
There has been great loss OF property. The
English, American, French, Italian and Aus
TRAN Consulates are burned. Arab will prob
ably fly to Upper Egypt. The massacre OF
the 18th Of June was fearfully avenged upon
the Arab batteries by the Inhexible's 81-ton
guns. Fifteen hundred Arabs are dead and
1000 wounded. Stone Pasha casts his fortunes
with the Khedive. The soldiery attempted TO
kill Tewfik, who, surrounded by some faithful
friends, fled to RamIeh.
