Colby University.

Manager Stevens went to Brunswick Satur-
day to make arrangements with the managers
OF the Bowdoin and Bates mines for the COM
ing base ball season. Bates failed to send
representative and will probably not enter the
only Colby and Bowdoin to contest for the col
lege championship of Maine. The schedule Of
games decided upon is as follows:
May 10, Bowdoin and Colby at Brunswick
May II, Colby and Rowdoin at Watervile.
May 2S Colby and Bowduin at Waerville.
June z, Bowdoin and Colby at Lewiston.
The championship will be decided out OF
the first three games, aud the one at Lewiston
is to be an exhibition game. This is much
smaller number of games than was played last
year, but as the Bowdoins have games arrang-
ed out of the State and that the college mines
may have opportunities to play the State mines
it was thought advisable 10 reduce the number
of intercollegiate games. Arrangements
will soon be made with the Portland Lewis
ton and Belfast mines 50 that all the dates may
be filed out
The outlook for Colby in the intercollegiate
contest is fully as good as it wa at the begin
ming OF last season, and every effort will be
made to retain the championship honors which
for the last three years she has held. The men
chosen for this years nine are as follows;
Dos 'S4, captain and pitcher; Goodwin 's7,
catcher; Emerson 'S4, 1st base; Mathews '84
2ud base; Boyd 'S6, 3rd base e;--short stop:
Lord 'S4, left field; Putnsm 'S6, centre field;
Written 'S6, right field.
All the men with three substitutes are prac-
ticipg dolly in the gymnasium. 1t is under
stood that Bowdoin will also put strong team
into the field, and the comiag season is expect
ed to prove fully as interesting as last.

RE FUSE TO DELIVER.
Serious Trouble Between Bridge
Company and the Western
Union.
Fears of a Riot in Gallipolis, Ohio.

GALLIPoLIS, O., March 23-A serious trouble
has arisen here, caused by the resistance of the
Keystone Bridge Company to the order OF
Judge jackson, Of the United States Court,
allowing the Western Union Telegraph wires
to be put up across the bridge. The Keystone
Company built the bridge, and allege that they
have not been paid as per contract, and th ere
fore have refused to deliver the bridge to the
railroad company and to permit wires to be
put up.
United States Marshal Atkinson came down
from Point Pleasant this afternoon, and re-
ports that he and four deputies arrested before
daylight this morning 20 employees of the
bridge company, among them Superintendent
Baird, and took possession of the bridge, which
was barricaded at both ends. At about eight
o'clock the employees of the Western Union
Telegraph Company went to work putting up
the wires across the bridge. Warrants we're is
sued by the State, and the workmen were ar
rested for working on Sunday. Warrants
have also been issued for the arrest of the
telegraph workmen as trespassers, and tomor-
row morning an effort will be made TO make
the arrests. This will produce collision be-
the State and the government. Threats have
been made that the men now under arrest
shall not go to Jail nor be taken out of town,
and If the marshal attempts to defend the tele-
graph workmen tomorrow morning, riot can
not be avoided About 200 persons are on
band, ready for active hostilities at the word
OF command, and it will be impossible for five
men, however resolute, to stand against them.

TORTY.EHGHTH CONGRESS-.
HOUsE.
WASHINGTON, Ma

WASHINGTON, March o.
In the House today, the regular order being
demanded, Mr.. Belford Of Colorado appealed
to the House to ALLOW one hour to be devoted
TO the consideration of the Senate bills on the
Speakers table, and tho appeal proving inef-
fectual he solemnly declared that no more bills
could be passed during the remainder of the
session.
Under call Of tho committees report waa
eubmitted by MIR. Nichols of Georgia, from the
committee on coinage, weights and measures,
to establish su assay office at Deadwood, Oako-
ia. Referred to committee of the whole.
A report was also made by Mr.. Wait, from
the committee on foreign affairs, for a return
OF the balance of the Chinese indemnify fund.
Referred to committee of *he whole.
The House then went into committee Of the
whole on the bonded extension bill.
Mr.. Clay, OF Kentucky, said that the whis-
key industry was made legitimate by the gov
ernment, and demanded the same protection
from Congress which was granted to any other
business or avocation.
Mr. Thompson, of Kentucky, supported the
bill, which he said presented the question
whether the government would bankrupt one
class of its citizens when it did not require for
any purpose the money which would fall due
for taxes The question OF temperance was
not involved III the measure, bnt ii few tenn
perapce cranks in the House would vote for
the bill it would result in keeping the whiskeyf
in bond and out of consumption.
Mr. Miliiken, of Maine, while denying that
he was a Temperance crank, inquired wheth--
or, even il the bill wvs passed, the whiskey
would not be taken out OF bond in course of
time, to which MIR. Thompson replied, that it
would pass into consumption when it was
called out by some temperance cranka, foT he
had never seen one OF Gbat class who, before
making speech, would not step behind the
door and wet his wbiste.
Mr.. Clemens of Georgia, opposed the bill on
business principles.
Mr.. Breckenridge, Of Arkansas, and Mr..
York of North Csrolioa, spoke in favor Of the
bill, and Messrs. Hiscock and Ray, of New
Hampshire, Cutcheon of Michigan, and Hep
burn of Iowa opposed the bill.
Mr.. Findlsy OF Maryland contended that
the NE asure was proper Que, and was less in
the interest of temperance. There were now,
safely guarded in reservoirs, 0,000, 600 gallons
of double distilled damnaton II the bill
we're defeated all this fiery mass of corruption
would be forced upon the market in one fell, ,
disastrous overflow.
Mr.. Hancock OF Texss, from the committee
on appropriations, reported the pension appro-
priaJion bill, and is was referred TO the COM
mittee of the whole,
Mr.. Beach of New York offered resolution
calling on the Secretary OF the Interior for
copies of all leases made by him for nses or oc-
cupalion of any ground in the Yellowstone Ma
tional Park, and also for informal as to
whether the lessees have complied With the
conditions of the leases and to the provisions
made to prevent the wanton destruction of
fish and gaiHe in the park. Adopted.
The House then adjourned.

KE1FER's APPOINTMENTS
Investigation of thc House Committee ON
Accounts.

xnvestigation of the Hcuse Committee on
Accounts.
WASHINGTON, March % The House COM
mittee on accounts submitted their report to-
day touching the appointment of B. f. Gaines
by Speaker Keifer in place OF Tyson, one of
the stenographers of the House.
The report says Gaines performed no service
from the date of his appointment March 8.
1888, until December last. In opposition to
Keifer's testimony that there was an under
standing that Gaines should have Tyson's
place, neither Mr.. Robson nor Mr.. Keifer's
confidential clerk knew of such an under
standing and Mr.. Tyson denies that it ever ex-
isted. Mr.. Tyson further testified that he.
kelfer, told him the circumstances under
which Dawson had been appointed and said
that the Iowa delegation was pressing him
very hard not TO remove Dawson. Tyson said,
1t seems pity he is poor man; if you are
going to remove him you ought to let him
down easy, and he tlAeifer) said swell, think
so myself. want to put Gaines in there but
don't want to do it right away.
There are several conflicting statements as
to minor points involved in the investigation,
but from an analysis of the evidence upon the
material points at issue the following conclus-
ions are reached: That L aines performed no
Sc vice during vacation of Congress- there
were no committee of the House in session
and no service could be rendered by cit er of
tide stenographers to committees--that the
agreement as to Tyson's resignation alleged
by Gen. Keifer to have existed from the date
of Tyson's appointment was one which TYSON
seems not to have understood, although il ia
fairly probable that the Speaker had such an
impression. 1t is ulso fairly probable, taking
into consideration the testimony of Robeson,
Gaines, Dawson, Clark and Tyson, and the let
ter written by Gen. Keiftr. March 8, 1888, that
rhis "agreement" or understanding" if it ex-
isIed, affed1ed both Dawson and Tyson, that
the negotiations between Dawson and Tyson
by which the former agreed to share his salary
with the latter during vacation of Congress,
were bad with the knowledge and approval of
Gen. keifer. 1t is fair TO state, however, that
Gen. Keifer did not see the contract between
Dawsan and Tyson either before or after its
execution and was in no wise beneficiary
thereof except in SO far as 1t saved him from
the "psinful necessity" of ordering the re-
moval of either Tyson or Dawson,-that the
resignation OF G. W. Tyson was rendered be-
cause demanded by the speaker and in fact a
ressgnatien under protest.

WATERS WRECKS.
Bad Breaks in Louisiana Sugar and
Cotton Region.
ELEVEN PARISHES INVADED Rx
THE NzEssIssEPPI.

ST. JOSEPH, La, March 22.-The Buckridge
levee brtke al o'clock and the Ships Bayou
levee at 10 o'clock last night. Through the
former water is running ten feet deep, and
through the latter fifteen feet deep, and both
breaks are widening. The Point Pleasant and
Hewitt Gap levees both broke last night, and
the water reached the 1882 gauge at 10 O'Clock.
These breaks, together with that in the Hard
scrabble levee already open, will cause gen.
eral and disastrous overflow in Tensas parish
and the parishes south of It, Owing to these
breaks the river has declined II inches. With
the river rising from Cairo, no hope can be
felt for crop this year.
New ORLEANS, March 22.-There are now
ten crevassesi in the levees on the west side OF
the Mississippi river between Vieksburg and
New Orleans, two near Delta, Madison parish,
and farther down, at Point Pleasant, Buck.
ridge, Hardserabble, Ships Bayou. Hard
Times, Morganza, Mulatto Point and Davis,
all pouring great volumes of water into the
country which these levees we're intended to
protect. The great Morgspza is the largest OF
these crevasses, being now nearly mile
wide, with probably an average depth OF ten
feet, the water going through like mill race.
The following parishes will be more or less in
undated, Judging from tue course OF the over
flow In 1874: Madison, TeIsas. CoBeordia,
Avoyslles, Point Coupee, West Baton Rouge,
Iberville, Assumption, st james, st. Charles
and ST.. Mary, embacing the most productive
sections OF the State for cotton. No estimate
of the loss can yet be made.
NEW ORLEANS. March pa despatch from
Baton Rouge to the Pcayune says that since
daylight this morning it has rained continu-
ously. The river ia now at the high water
mark of 1882 Mulatto Point has been aban-
doned and no further effort will be made to
close the opening. The force at this point viii
be distributed among the adjacent weak or
threatened points. West Baton Rouge suffers
to the extent of several hundred thousand dol
lars. Much uneasiness is felt concerning the
levees in the section. The rain will doubtless
continue during the night. The river will
surely advance several inches. The general
impression is that there will be trouble in this
neighborhood within the next twenty-four
hours. General complaint is made that pilots
run their boats too near shore, causing damage
to the levees. The break at Mulatto Point is
now 250 feet wide and fully u feet deep.
The Medora levee is reported gone. Back
water is steadily encroaching upon the front
and there is now bat narrow strip of land
left. Plantations never before overfoWed are
now under water.
