Damage by Floods.

SPRINGFIELD, VT, June 9.-This village
has been visited by another disastrous flood,
the second within eleven months. At noon
to-day moderate rain fell, but an hour later
a storm of terrific force broke upon the vii
laee. A storm was also in progress about
five miles north of town, and high wind
that changed in few minutes from south to
north and then back again drove the two
storms together. Rain fell as if a mighty
river was falling from the heavens, and the
hill north of the town, that slopes west to the
Black river and east to the creek, sent
torrent of water toward the town.
Warning was at once given, but SO
rapidly did the water rise that few had time to
save anything and were forced to flee for
their lives. The channel of the creek be-
came filed with wreckage of houses, barns
and other buildings, which forced it in other
directions. One stream plowed through the
Springfield house, another through Hart &
Dodge's livery stable, and another through
Ellison Bros. stage barn. Individual losses
and damage to the highway reach at leaat
$4,000. In some places the highways are
quilted twenty-five feet deep, and some
houses in the village have four feet of mud
in them. just across the Cheshire bridge
barn was blown down, killing VIM Parker
and fatally injuring woman named Bella
Spaulding. The storm ragged over three
hours

New YORK, June 9.-The contest between
the Gould party and their opponents con-
tlnued this morning. The weakness and
free selling of Louisville 81 Nashville helped
the bear side of the situation and it was with
difficulty that the better class of stocks
were sustained. On every rally the
market was attacked, and when the
hammering process ceased prices would grad
ually recover. Central s. Hudson with its
per cent. dividend coming was very stub
born, also Delaware 81 Lackawanna. The
latter is still considerably oversold, and costs
small premium every day to borrow, as do
the Erie second bonds. With the exception
of fair trade in Louisville and Nashville,
the market was dull and uninteresting dur
ing the greater portion of the day, many
stocks not even furnishing quotation
throughout the session. This was the case
with many of the light weights, and also with
some of the high priced dividend payers. The
bears were in the ascendency when the day
closed, and the lowest figures in most stocks
were current as business celsed. The
grangers, particularly st. Pa ul, looked feeble
while Louisville & Nashville was below 27
and acted as if insiders were peddling it out
literally. The whole list presented tired
appearance at the finish.
A. M. Day says: ''We have had brokers'
market-the dullest for many days. The
feature has been break in Louisville 81
Nashville an reports that the company was
approaching receivership very fast These
reports have been denied by the officials of
the company and the statement made that
the leading interests were in favor of the
| issue of collateral trust deben-
ture bond to take up the floating
debt. New York Central has been sold on
the report of large reduction in passenger
| rates to Saratoga and Buffalo. West m
Union was sold on the announcement of an
other reduction of rates by the Postal COM
pany. During the last hour the general list
become weak and closed near the lowest of
the day. West Shore bonds were weak on
talk of receivership. The following were
the loaning rate: Lackawanna 1854 to 1-16,
Central Pacific 1-64 to 1-32, Burlington 1-32,
Union Pacific 1-32, Northwestern and St.
Paul flat, Missouri Pacific 1-32 to 1-16,
Northern Pacific preferred 1854, Louisville &
Nashville fiat to 1-64, Western Union 1-64,,
Mr.. Gould still looks bullish but conservative
brokers are looking for lower prices.

FOUL MURDER NEAR DULUTH.
The Most Horrible Butchery Ever Per-

DULUTH, Mimi, June 9.-Last Saturday,
just before dinner, Mrs. Anna Errietta, who
lived with her husband a Hermantwn farmer,
few miles from this city, started out to a
neighbours for milk, which she obtained, and
started home, but failed to put in appearance
at dinner time. When her husband came
home for his meal he became anxious and
started for neighbor. On way there he
found mans shirt, some cartridges and
the remains of fire where tramps had been
camping, and near them his wife's shoes
and the milk pail He soon reached his
neighbors and discovered that his wife had
been there and started for home. He be-
came alarmed and search was instituted and
the community aroused, and the search took
place TILL 2 p. m. to-day when the body OF
Mrs. Errietta was found. 1t is the most hor-
rible butchery ever known in this part of the
country-as bad as the Sioux butchery. The
woman had been shot in the temple twice,
outraged and then put on log, head
downwards, her bowels cut open and other
wise cut up in a manner too horrible for
print, and parts of her flesh thrown one side.
The community is greatly excited, and it
will go hard with the dastards if caught.

THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION
The Local Committee Making Pre-
parations to Improve ON the
Republican Gathering.
Especial Telegram to the Globe

CHICAGO, June 9.-The national Demo-
cratic convention is still month away, but
the local committee are already preparing for
it. Yesterday they visited the exposition
building, and after surveying the interior and
coupling what they saw there with the
experiences of the Republican convention,
have decided change in the arrangements
would be advisable. An architect is now be-
ginning, at the committees suggestion,
to see whether stage can be put in the
center of the hall. The arrangement of the
seats at the Republican convention
was such that a mass of people
in the rear could neither hear nor see the
proceedings. The seats of the delegates were
also so close to each other as to cause mixing
and confusion, while the press seats were
more crowded than necessity seemed to war
rant. The Democrats are endeavoring to
devise some means by which all the advant-
ages of the Republican arrangements can be
retained, and all the disadvantages abolished.
They are thinking favorably of removing
the sounding board in the rear 100 feet back.
The Democrats are q unit and wish to have a
larger assembage than was witnessed at the
Republican deliberations, and they say that
different system will be observed in giving
out tickets. The Democratic convention is
expected to prove more satisfactory in point
| of plumbers than the Republican, and the
clubs from all parts of the country which
will be in attendance are, relied upon to
| well the numbers

Senator Mcclure, of California, in his
speech said: ''We have journeyed to this
city from the great convention at Chicago to
pay our respects to Blaine. We are not here
to congratulate him, but to congratulate the
American people. California eight years
ago nominated your friend and neighbor, Mr..
Blaine, for president of the United States.
I'VE like him, because we believe he repre-
sents the American sentiment. We believe
II he is elected president our
citizens will be protected at home and
abroad. [Cheers.l We believe he will
see American labor protected, and we, in
California, believe the American laborers of
the Pacific coast and our beautiful land will
not be cursed and injured by the influx of
Mongolians from the Chinese empire.

addition to five or six Republican
congressman from the state of California,
a United States senator'' [Great ap-
pl ause.
All expressed firm conviction of the cleo
ton of Blaine. One of the California dele
gates advocated adding an agricultural
branch to the cabinet. An inn
mense crowd was IN attendance and
the city alive with illuminations and
streets blockaded by the immense concourse
of people. A serenade was rendered the Wis
iting delegates tonight. After the music

Judge Busby, Senator Johnson, Judge Knight,
Col. Mcclure, Rand, of Nevada; Wilson, of
Massachusetts, and Gen. Hall, of Maine,

Whisky Did It.

Two of the handsomest and bright
est young men that have grown up
in the capital city CT Kentucky since
the war Were Thomas Crittenden, a
grandson of the great and good John
J. Crittenden, and James Arnold :,
grandson of the Rev. Isaac Arnold.
With physioues 1.-the and sinewy as
the thoroughbred horse of that blues
grass region, with the heritage of
honored name and wealth that was
lavished upon their schooling, these
two young men and bosom friends
might have climbed to any p sltion
of honor among people who love to
bestOW hOnOrs upon robust men of
courage and culture. Eut Tom Crit>
tenden and Jim Arnold early took to
drink. In a town that boasts the
manufacture of the finest whiskey in
the world, and introduced the breezy
Influence of frontier dash into the
very proper society of staid old viii
lage.
In word. they painted the town
a sunset red, aud finally made it too
hot to hold them, Arnold dritted
West and became prince of the cow
boys. Crittenden went to Louisville
and took leadership among the bar
room froilers. Arnold, while driving
cattle on one OF the western trails, in
company with a degenerate son of
Lord Paget, was shot and killed by a
negro. CritteLden killed negro for
testifying against him in q misde-
meanor trial before a country magis-
trate, and has just been sentenced to
confinement in the Kentucky state
penltentiary for three years. Both
leave behind them honorable fathers
and loving but heart>broken mothers9
Arnold left tenderer tie than that

tenacious. Whiskey wrecked all

TIE PENALTY.

When Ben Butler was governor of
Massachusetts, Senator Hoar and
other self-righte0us citizens of that
commonwealth signified their desire
to leave the state. They professed to
be shocked when the bluff, outspoken
old trooper very plainly intilnated
that the Republican oflce-holders,
who had things their own way so
long, were guilty of dishonest prac.
tices. They were still more deeply
shocked when he pronounced the
bulk of their learned professors char
latans, and quoted hard figures to
show the alarming prevalence of il
literacy in the state.
They managed to beat him last
year and were happy. Tewksbury
was revived in all its glory, aud the
Republican ofice-holders renewed
their efficiency. The result, as an.
nounced by the Boston Journal, is
that the total tax for the present year
for state, county and city purposes
will show an advance of Is per cent.
in one year, or over$2 500 900 in gross
and that the rate of taxation will be
$l8 on 81 900. q higher rate than the
highest reached during the war.

at the present time. The Indian pol.

not only barbarous but costly, and its
continuance will involve the expen-
diture of nearly SIC, ,Ooo, 900 a year to

HOW IT WAS DONE.

~" IL w Az 0OC0s
When the recent convention met
at Utica, New York, President Ar
thur found himself in q hopeless and
powerlees minority. How he defeat
ed Blaine and sacrificed himself is
thus told by the World: Out of the
491 delegates who voted on the test
question Of the temporary organise
ton Mr.. Blaine had 24O. or only six
les than = clear majority, while Sem
ator Edmunds, with the Arthur CON-
tingent to help him, had 25l.
The friends of the President had
therefore nominally the qualification
Of beating Mr.. Blaine in the Presi>
pent's own State. A glorious victory,
forsooth! But at what price was 1t
purchased2 At the price of all the
four delegates-at-large to the Repub-
lican National Convention! Sena-
tor Edmunds has secured them all.
President Arthur comes cut of the
Convention plucked as bare as an
unfledged sparrow!
Not only were the Presidents
friends compelled to submit to the
election of four Edmunds delegates
they had to bear the humiliation of
voting for delegates who, besides ia
voring Edmunds, were pronounced
drst, last and all the time against
Arthur! Theodore Roosevelt, An
drew D. White, John J. Gilbert and
Edwin Packard are anti-Arthur Re-
publlcans! The President has won
q small success over Blaine only by
ari.kari!
The semi-weekly miner., 1884-05-03

The bargain by which tie Blaine
delegates were defeated was one
which the Edmunds men would
have been imbecile to reject. They
were ready to unite with the Blaine
party on the consideration of having
two out of the four delegates-at-large.
Woodpulp Miller's stupidity delayed
this arrangement. The Arthur
contingent, desperate at the thought
of having their weakness in number
exposed, threw themselves at the feet
Of the Edmunds party and offered
them all four OF the delegates. Such
an offer was not to be refused. War
rem Miller's incapable leadership
alone made it possible.
The result in fact drives another
nail into President Arthur's politi-
cal coffin and makes his withdrawal
from the canvass almost certain. He
has now the four delegates at large
against him. In the Niagara district
he gains one vote and loses one. Thus
his vote in his own delegation will
not be more than % out of ", while
he chances of a majority for Blaine
when q break takes place are still
rood.

The Senate at Washington has set
tied the important question that the
commissioner of agriculture is, in
virtue OF his position, entitled to 60
ON the floor of that body while the
grave and reverend legislators are in
session. The farmers all over the
country will rejoice over this conces>
sion to their interests. All the crops
will, no doubt, be greatly benefited.
The winter wheat will grow at least
IN inch when it hears the news, and
when the peas, the corn. the potatoes,
the beans and the tomatoes are
planted they will strike root at once.
This consideration on the part of the
Senate for the farming interests Of
the Republic is exceedingly touch

Eng ish kisses j..
IA. McNeill in Bow Bells.l

Kissing, in England, was certainly
known and practlced in the sixteenth
and seventeen centuries and prac-
ticed with an easy familiarity which
shows that the custom was general.
Indeed, SO general was the use of the
kiss that it was as usual as the bow.
A gentleman taking lady to seat
after the dance invariably kissed her,
and If he did not would have been
voted q very badly bred fellow.
How much older English kisses
were does not appear, Suffice it to
say that the custom has Outlived our
day, though fashionable and general
games, In which kissing formed a
prominent part, are now becoming
rarer than they were a quarter of a
century ago.
The literature of kisses is curious.
There Is q story retailed in the
BROAD Stone of Honor" of an Eng
lish knight riding through France to
the Field on the Cloth of Gold. His
horse cast shoe at q ce, tain village,
the seigneur whereof had departed to
the same rendezvous, but the seig-
neur's lady Hospitality entertained
the traveller. She came out of her
castle attended by twelve damsels,
fair to see; 'and," said the dame,
''forasmuch Us in England We have
such custom as that man may
kiss woman, therefore I will that
ye kiss me, and ye shall kiss all these
my maidens," which thing the
knight straightway did and rejoiced
greatly thereat.
The quaintness of the last phrase
indicates the young
mans feelings at the salute with
exactitude.
In Africa and other parts of the
world outside the circle of civilization
kissing Is unknown.
An African once offered kiss un-
der favorable circumstances to
young lady of king Mumbe Jumbo's
court, but she recoiled in great alarm
saying she was mot yet worthy to
De ea,en."
