FIonr Production nj nTiuueapoIi..

Minneapolis is the milling centre of the
country, but there now appears to be let up
in the production except in a few instances.
The well-known Washburn Mills made, sold
and shipped, from April 1 to July /, 450,000
barrels flour. Considerable OF this -four was
taken for shipment, largely bakers brands.
We doubt if any mill in this or any other coup-
try can show such result. The Northwestern
Miller of the 4th inst. says 'the total OUTPUT
last week was $500 barrels-averaging is
$50 barrels for the SIX working dsys-against
100000 barrels the preceding week. Three
thirteen hundred-barrel mills closed down
Tuesday, and will not do anything before Mon
day, it being doubted that one will be started
up again on this crop. There are two others.
with combined capacity of 400 barrels, that
do not pretend to run at all. The Washburn
Mills, however, do not show any signs of let
ting up in the tremendous rate at which thew
are turning out -four. They early took the
lead in the quantity Of -four made and continue
to hold 1t, ami it is statsd on very good author-
ity tHst they will be run this way until the
END OF ths crop 1t is great mystery to the

their product. Boston Journal,

The New Shipping Law.

The Dngley shipping law goes in force with
wrench, like all changes of law affecting the
sstatus of labor. The law forbids the payment
OF advance wages to seamen. Consequently
the sailors clearinghouse in all the chief
ports are loaded up with lot of men to whom
they have advanced board and money for a
"time," and now the sailors cannot draw any
advance wages and the ship.masters find it
difficult to get crews, as the sailors are not al
lowed to ship until their debts are paid. The
law is not e bad thing; on the contrary, it
will break up system of petty credit, which
kept the sailors always in debt to the boarding
houses. A man coming into port would have
SO little money coming to him that he would
be turned ashore nearly penniless and would
sail in the same condition, his wages for
months in advance having been paid to him
and spent to pay his debts. England still al
lows an advance of one months wages. But it
is generally admitted that the sailor will be
more Of man, If he is paid his money when
he has earned it. On the American lakes, no
wages are advanced and the sailors are better
off than on the high seas. The present act
puts American vessels temporarily at disad-
vantage, as foreign ship-owners, it is said, will
manage to evs6e it, 1t is not probable that it
will be evaded very much after the present
class OF debtors is gotten rid Of The act took
effect within few days of its passage and the
boardlng-house keepers say they had no time
to prepare for it.-Springtield Repu blican,

HAIL AND LIGHTNING.
Widespread Damage OF the Storm Of
SatM Fday.

The thunder storm of Saturday caused con-
portions of this State. In many places large
quantities of hail fell. At South Bridgtsn
over fifty acres Of corr were completely ruined.
Among the heaviest losers are the Fitch
Brothers, Thomas Mason and Charles Doug
lass. A great deal of window glass was also
broken. G.. r Norton, the stage driver, drove
through the tract visited BY the storm, and
though more than two hours had passed, vet
the hail lay in windows along the side of the
road. The loss to the farmers in that vicinity
is large.
At Gardiner lightning set fire to the barn Of
Alvin Sampson, and it was burned together
With its contents, four tons OF hay Loss $500;
no insurance.
At Leeds lightning struck telegraph post
and ran round 1t, tearing off splinters, end ran
along the wire to the next post. w. R. Pet
tingilPs horse was standing under a small traa
in his pasture. Lightning struck the tree and
run into the ground, and also struck the right
ear OF the horse and tore out one eye, and ran
down all four OF his legs into the ground, kill
ing him instantly.
set on fire BY lightning and totally consumed.
A horse and promising colt two months old
were also killed. The dwelling house near bv
was saved by the rain, which fortunately fell
ID torrents at the time.
At Stow two cows belonging to William D.
Emerson were killed by lightning
The barn of Ira Page in Hebron was struck
by lightning and burned together with its con-
tents OF hay, moving machine, horse rake and
other property, and but for the timely arrival
OF neighbors, the house and outbuildings must
have burned also. No insurance. A COW,
horse and wagon were saved The barn OF
Scion Rowe, neighbor of Mr.. Page, was also
struck, bat not burned.
During the storm Mr.. Will Laing, who re-
sides in dallowell, aroused by the crashing Of
the thunder and heavy rain, proceeded to the
attic OF his house to put down a window.
While in the act of lowering the sash the bolt
struck the roof Immediately above him. He
was knocked senseless, and the ladies' of the
house began to scream. Much to their relief,
however, Mr.. Laing arose in q few minutes
and appeared as well as ever. From the roof
the electric current ran down the wall 70 the
ground. On its course it passed through q
marriage certificate, blackening and deiacing
it, and stripped the cloth off an umbrella
standing in the entryway.

The Survivors Empa owing i'm Health.

AAO AhA AhCstAeWs
The Acting Secretary of the Nsvy has re-
ceved the following telegram from Com
mander Schley, dated st. Johns, July 81:
"The Surgeon controls all matters affecting the
diet and diversion of Lieut.. Greedy and party.
Acting under his advice Lieut. Greedy and his men
only leave the ship when he prescribes it. The men
are always required to be on hand at 8 p. M Lieu
tenant Greedy is spending day or two in the quiet
enjoyment of Consul Mnlloy's house. under sur
geon's counsel. All of the party well and gain
ing daily"
An unsuccessful effort was made by General
Hazen to have the Greedy party brought to
Boston instead OF Portsmouth, N. H., and they
will therefore proceed direct to Portsmouth,
1t is probable that the bodies of the dead of
the expedition will be taken to Governors
Island, New York harbor, and placed in charge
of General Hancock until a decision will be
reached as TO their final disposition.
Gen. Hazen says: 1.-THE work done by the
Greedy expedition far surpasses in Importance,
completeness and scope, that done by any
otheI on record. It has shown the fallacy of
the old belief that fatal diseases, especially
scurvy, were necessarily incident to Arctic
life, and that life there was constantly menaced
BY the great cold 1t has also shown that with
discipline, suitable clothing, proper and abun-
dant food, and good, suitably warmed house
men can live there in perfect health and COM
fort for considerable period of time"
General Hazen further states that Lieut..
Greedy literally accomplished everything he
was sent to do in two years. He was at Lady
Franklin Bay, maintaining proper discipline,
without more serious frostipg or discomfort
than is experienced every Winter in Dakota,
without serious illness or discomfort of any
member of the party, and bringing them all
safely and well with all the records and
instruments for final comparison to the point
where his responsibility ended. Greely's ex-
petition has solved the question of Arctic
exploration of the future, and with the addi-
tionsl precaution of judiciously locating suit
able depots and houses, the party never pass
ing beyond until this is done, Arctic exploration
will be robbed of its dangers and apprehen-

The Dingley Shipping Bill.

Questions are constantly arising at the Treas
ury Department under the operations of the
Dingley shipping bill, aud action on them is
delayed because of the absence of commits
sioner of navigation The department has
heard nothing from Mr.. Patten, the gentleman
appointed to that office, aud it is not even
known whether or not he proposes to assume
its duties. AS many of the questions involve
important points of construction and as prompt
action on them is necessary they have been
referred to Mr.. Dingley, the author of the bill,
for such suggestions as he may deem proper.
The business of the new division created by
the bill is represented to be most urgent, and
delays consequent on the existing state of
affairs are said to be seriously affecting the
shipping interests of the country.

F. f. Coffin, formerly of Winthrop, Maine,
writes the st. Paul Pioneer Press, from his
home at Usage, Iowa, that neither he nor his
brother have run off with $40, 900 from Red
Lake Falls, as reported. He says the last
time he was in Red Lake Falls, June 10th or
20th everything was working well. The ar
rangement was that Thomas Coffin should
take the full and entire management and con.
troll OF the affairs of the company, and from
that time until now f. E. Coffin had been at
his home, giving his entire attention to his
own business there. He further says: .Any
allegation of any one taking $4,000 in money
is without foundation and untrue, for the
truth is that money has been going into this
property continuously, for its improvement
and development, and L defy any man to show
me how any one, no matter who, could have
realized single dollar in profit or otherwise
AS yet, Red Lake Falls is far richer today in
it's intrinsic worth, than year ago, largely in
consequence OF these efforts and improve

From New York Letter to Cincinnati Enquirer
l have heard an anecdote for which
[ do not vOuch, but it was told to me
as true. A gentleman said that he
was sitting next to the wife of the
late Observation-Disclosures James at a
dinner party, and in the course of the
evening the conversation drifted on
politics. AT the menti N of Mr.. Ar
thurs name Mrs. James showed a
good deal Of temper, and she said he
was a treacherous, coWardly man !;
that after Garfield died the cabinet
sent in their designations, and her
husband among the rest, and Mr.. Ar
thur rP-appointed them all, ard while
he was sitting in the cabinet meeting
one day person came in and WhiS-
pered to the president that Senator
Howe, of Wisconsin, had just been
confirmed to be postmaSter-general in
place of Mr.. James. Mr.. James, his
wife said, had not even heard that he
was to have successor up to that
time, ard under the impulse of the
moment he arose and expressed his
contempt and scorn of the president
right at the cabinet meeting. Ac-
cording to this story Mr.. James said
that the president was great sneak
and coward. The same person who
told me this story said that the bank
of which James is the president-the
Lincoln bank-had large line of de-
poSits, and does big safe-deposit bu-
siness, and that it's stock had gone up
some so per cent.
