calling their place the Saviour's Home. A
number Of the men belonging to the order
were arrested two months ago on charge
Of rebbiug Mrs. Sappington, who WIS in.

and living in one large house, in Mormon
style, with slight exceptions. The Prsi-

inmates arrested. Eighteen children were
found in the house and nearly all Of them
sick. Their diet OF cornbread and water
three times per day is the cause. Nine Of
the children are reported fatally i'll with

Special Correspondence Of the In,clliScnecr, :
OAKLAND, Nd, August o3.-Again on
Sunday after II o'clock the town had the
appearance Of an almost deserted village,
when compared with the usual thrift and
life OF the week. Up to that time the prin.
cipal streets presented scenes OF animation
and unusual activity. Numerous vehicles
were constantly passing to and fro, carry.
ing the people clothed in their Sunday ap.
parel to Mountain Lake Park to attend the
closing services OF the camp meeting, and
then returning for others, clouds Of dust
rising as each one passed, filling the air
and covering everything within reach. For
several hours it continued thus until mi,
nority OF the inhabitants remained in town,
and ut the Park hundreds Of people Ind
gathered to see and hear what transpircd
during the day. Within sight and sur.
rounding the camp ground in the woods
Just without the enclosure were a great many
buggies and wagons, and nearly every tree
or bush available for the purpose was used
to hitch ono or more horses to. Although
the crowd was large it was very orderly, Us
has been the case during the entire season.
Not single cause OF complaint no ur,
necessary commotion, no disturbance, no
drunkenness or drinking, no disreputable
or immoral conduct, and no reprimnnds
or censure on the part OF anyone. All,
without single exception, behaving in 4
very commendable, courteous and Chris.
tian.like manner, and exhibiting the char.
acteristics Of good, quiet and moral citizens.
1t was the cause OF comment, and received
the favorable notice and criticism OF the
many strangers in attendance at the 'yari-
GUS services at the Park during the season,
apd, as remarked by some, it was exceed.
ingly good, and when brought into
comparison. with that Of other places Of
similar character, was superior 10 any ot
them. At all times at all the services were

ton 10 all that was said and done, and did
nothing to embarrass or annoy any one OF

CHICAGO, August 2222.-In the Democratic
State Convention OF Iowa considerable dis
cussion arose In regard TO the form OF the
resolution on liquor prohibition, and there
was minority report on the subject. The
majority:report denounced the prohibitory
amendment, condemned the Republican
party Tor the methods by which they had
introduced It, and declared in favor OF "the
shortest most expeditions legal method
Of eliminating the same from the Constitu.
tion." The minority report simply depre.
Gated the adoption OF the amendment and
nrraigned The Republican party Of Iowa
for its passage Finally, the following com.
promise was adopted: "'Whie We deplore
the passage Of the prohibition amendment
to the Constitution, We are resolved, by
every Legal means, to eliminate the obuor.
ious measure from the Constitution OF tho
State" The Democrats OF Iowa, in their in.
tense hostility to prohibition, were anxious
only about the form OF language in which
it SHOULD be clothed.
The Democrats make square issue with
the Republicans on the tariff us well MS on
the prohibition question. Their tariff res.
olution declares that mo species OF indus.
try should be iostered to the iniuy OF an.
other; that no class Of men should be taxed
directly or indirectly for the benefit Of
anotheri that every description OF industry
should stand or fall on its own merits; that
the existing protective tariff is m outra.
geous scheme Of plumber, and in principle
and detail violates every democratic princi.
pie Of right and justice" There was moth.
ing like that in the platform Of the Demo.

DALLAS, TEX, August 23.-The cast.

Pacific Railroad have been late for the last
lew days The train due this afternoon
was eight hours behind time at Dallas
Passengers say one OF the heaviest rains
ever known, continuing three days and
nights without intermission, stopped fall.
ing in West Texas last night. In some
places the plains, where tradition says il
never rains, hnve the appearance OF sea,
and the raln fall is estimated at six feet.
The flooded section begins near Abeline
and extends west for near.three hundred
miles, including the country from the
Brnzos to Pecos rivers. Miles OF the track
OF tho Texas & Pacific road have been
damaged, and in several places serious
wRshOuts have occurred. Four miles OF
track west Of. Abilene arc washed away.
and trains cannot cross;y transfers have 10
be made. In one spot 400 yards OF track
and embanknlent are washed away, and
will have 10 be rebuilt. Great drifts OF red
prairie dogs are piled in the rubbare
Thousands OF them have been drowned
and thousands more can be seen struggling
in the water. On these plains the waters
from such a flood flow southward, and the
only channels to carry them away are the
Brazos, the Colorado, the Concho and the
Pecos rivers and their small tributaries,
Consequently 1t will be several days before
the plains are anything like free OF the
great body +of rainwater. The great rail.

occurred near Van Horn, nearly GOO miles
west Of Dallas, and another spout is re.
ported to have struck and seriously dam
aged the Southern Pacific track in South
eastern Arizona. 1t will take several DAYS
to repair the Texas Pacific, track. It is
feared that great loss OF life and stock has
occurred in the remote and sparccly settled
country to the north and northwest OF the
Texas 4 Pacitic. Parties in to-day from
the flooded district along the line Of the
road say they are simply indescribablc,
Hundreds Of laborers have been put TO
