He H is now acting as secretary of the Mann
Boudoir Car Company, with an office ON
Cortland street, near Broadway. His friends
say he is unhappy, and aging very fast.
Funny, isn't it, that a man with $4,000 a
year for life should be unhappy? If some
people had the earth, and it fenced in with
barbed wire, they would still be unhappy.

the steamer is required to be registered, en-
rolled or licensed. He has been instructed
that, as the steamer is not employed on what
are known as ''navigable waters of the
United States," she is not required to be pro-
vided with marine documents. The collector
has made further inquiry whether the steam

FIRE AND WATER.
Kansas City Surrounded by Wa'er and
Harlem Deserted-Men Killed
by Lightning.

KANSAS CITY, June 10.
The river last night had risen TWENTY-FIVE
feet, and is rising slowly. The village of
Harlem opposite here is deserted, but as far
as known little damage has been done from
the water in the river. although there is loss
in some places on account of freshets and
heavy rains. Reports do not indicate any
alarming rise yet in the river above this
point. Two deaths by drowning occurred
here yesterday, boy and girl, both colOred.
A Princeton, Mo-, despatch says that
while public sale was in progress at the
residence of r. S. Light near Ravenna on
Saturday, heavy thunder shower came up
and about 400 the men took refuge in a large
barn. The building was struck by lightning
and three were killed and two or three others
injured.
LArER-The situation along the river has
not materially changed today. The water
has risen about eight inches since last night.
This evening it is nearly stationary. de-
spatch from Brownsville, below Platts Mouth
in Nebraska, says the river fell an inch and
a halt there this afternoon. Most of the
trains east and north are still delayed. The
Alton, Chicago and ST. Louis trains are run
ming as usual, and also those on the Missouri

The result of the ballot for United States
Senator in both branches of the Legislature
has been thoroughly discussed since adjourn
ment and there is as much diversity of opin-
ion tonight as to the final outcome as ever.
Mr.. Rollins adherents say he received as
many votes as he expected, and that he can
hold them until the question is settled. On
the other hand the conservative republicans
state this evening that he will be unable to
retain the support of the 1877 who voted for
him today after the third ballot and that he
may lose strength. On the second ballot,
which will be taken tomorrow. when the first
Joint convention will be held, it is stated
that about Is friends of another candidate,
who voted for Rollins today, will transfer
their strength to their favorite tomorrow.
Analysis of the votes cast for all candidates
at the caucus which nominated Rollins and
in the legislature today, shows the republic
can strength 206 in both branches. One
hundred and thirty voted Thursday last, while
today Rollins secured l27, and all other re-
publican candidates 70. In other words III
members of the House and 10 Senators voted
for Rollins today, while of the 100, who par
tcipated in the nominating caucus, l20 were
Representatives and 10 Senators. All pres
ent at the caucus did not support Rollins,
although some members who refused to
attend it voted for him today, so that
he suffered net loss of but three from the
entire caucus vote. l27 is the majority of
full convention. The entire afternoon ses-
sion of the House was consumed in discuss
ing the resolution introduced by Mr.. Quint
of Dover to elect United States senator for
term commencing March 9Th, 1885, imme-
dIately after Rollins successor shall be
chosen. This measure was advocated by
Messrs. Quint and Briggs OF Manchester,
and opposed by Gen. Marston. The resolu-
ton was defeated by vote of 152 to 1872.

testified in the Tewksbury hearing, this
morning, that he had examined the books OF
the almshouse and they were correct. They
agreed with the auditors bill. Only taou-
lated invoice book was necessary to keep an
accurate account Of the aims house affairs.
There was no need whatever of cash
book, journal or ledger. Grothusen had
noticed the erasures upon the cash book, Tor
which he would attempt to account. He had
not seen anything to show exactly what mao
been done with the aims house money, nor
with the sales from that institution nor with
the clothing of the inmates, nor with the
dead bodies.
In fact, he knew no system of book keep
ing by which all these things couli be traced.

The offense charged in the new indict-
ment against Thomas j. Brady, found by
a Washington Grand Jury Saturday, is
not conspiracy, of course. for there is only
one defendant. Brady is charged with
having taken bride. In July. 1880, he
awarded to James b. Price contract for
carrying the mails on route never before
used, from Socorro to Silver City, New
Mexico, and agreed to pay Price S4l ,5S2
year for the work. This was one of the
Temporary" contracts which were given
to favorites without competition. The
terminal points were well served by
other mail lines, and the intervening
country contained only score or
so of inhabitants. A few petitions
were produced, however, in order that
Brady might seem to have some warrant
for his action, and Price got the job at alb
surdly high pay, having bought it, as the
indictment says, tor $l,250 sum with
which he bribed the Second Assistant Post
master. General. Price has been for years
Q contractor. He became witness for the
Government in the Brady Kellogg case.
and he is also the Government $ witness in
this case. This is one of the star route in
dictments that can be tried in very few
days. The evidence must be direct and
compact, and the statute of limitations has
not run against any of the acts set forth in
the accusation.

ton of the latter's military progress will
be settled at least. The Chinese certainly
have good navy Of modern war vessels
built in Europe, which would give the
French blockading fleet much trouble.
Less is known as to the army. but with
almost limitless cash and materials for re-
cruits to draw from, it will not be surpris-
ing to find that the army had kept pace
with the navy. The pressing danger OF
Russian inroads on the west of late years
has spurred the slow-going nation into
unwonted activity, and led it to adopt
many of the ways of the hated foreigners.
