ELAINE CLUB.-After published call,
considerable drumming and much more
talking, meeting was held last night at
Crily's hall, at the north end of Fairfax
street to organize Blaine club. The affair
was complete "lizzle," being attended by
about two white men, and about forty ne
croes. Mr.. Edmund Burke called the
meeting to order, and made a speech, after
which :. J. Wimsatt, was chosen secretary.
Mr.. l. G. O'Neal was elected president Of
the club, with vice-president for each
ward to assist him. The lack of enthusiasm
and the small attendance was attributed to
the rain which prevailed at the time OF the
meeting, which, at an early hour dissolved.

DESTRUCTIVE STORM.

PITTSBURGH, June 12-Points along the
Allegheny Valley were visited yesterday
by one of the heaviest rain storms known
for many years, causing the most destruct-
i've flood since 1865. AT Brookville, Pa, a
water spout burst, and in less than two
hours the creek rose ten feet, Transforming
it into seething, foaming torrent. The
rapid rise gave the mill men no chance
whatever to save their stock. The dams at
North Fork Mills, Bryant & Wainwright
and the Litch Mills gave way, carrying
with them lumber valued at $4,000.
Two bridges were washed away, many
small buildings demolished and number
OF families driven from their homes and
compelled to seek shelter elsewhere for the
night. The storm visited several contigu-
GUS places, where it was equally as destruc-
tive.

THE CANAL TOLLS QUESTION.
Especial dispatch 10 the Alexandria GazErrE)


BALTIMORE, June AT Annapolis to-
day the committee appointed by the demo
cratic convention of Allegany county, COM
posed of Hon. VIM. Walsh, J. w. Thomas,
r. D. johnson, D. Lynn, F. Mertens and
Henry Loveridge, representing the Board
of Coal Trade of New York, had hearing
before the Board of Public Works to-day.
Messrs. Thomas, Walsh and Loveridge adj
dressed the board, claiming that if the ca
nal is run on business principles it can be
made to pay with tolls at twenty five cents.
TO do this all useless employees must be
discharged and the salaries of those left cut
down to what other business corporations
pay. Mr.. Thomas showed by figures that
the total expenses of the canal, interest on
debts, &C., could be reduced to SOL, 1G0
and estimated that the canal, if it carries
100000 tons Of coal at twenty-five cents
per ton, can pay expenses, and with
other receipts will have a surplus each
year of $4,000. They all severely arraigned
the manner in which the canal has been
run as political machine, and said that all
they asked and all that the suffering people
of the canal counties asked was an honest
and efficient management Of the canal. Mr..
Walsh wound up by saying that unless
something was done the cry of party would
have no effect and the people would find
means of putting some other board in pow
er which would give them relief.
