TUCsoN, so far, has escaped cloud bursts and floods. As reported by tele- graph yesterday from Flarence We learn there was a cloud burst which caused a great flood and mach destruction Of property. From Clifton we learn of Q rain and flood. 4 dispatch says the heavy rainfall of the pact two days has caused an unprecedented freshet in the Rio San Francisco. The high water mark of the summer of 1881 Is reached. All the Clifton bridges swept away; twenty families hOuseless and homeless It beglDs to look as if the sufferers from floods in our own territory would begin to call for aid. There is one feature about our floods: they are not of long du- ration and the damage must be done quickly; still, if there Is need of help we know our people will respond promptly and literally.

 The principles involved in the contest were clearly defined, and the antagonIsm of the contestants specifically and clear ly set forth-on these the fight was fought and won: free trade went down before the American system of protect ing home enterprise and labor against the massed capital of the old world.

A MAN. GIVES. A MORTGAGE ON HIM
SELF TO SECURE A DEBT.
One of the most remarkable suits
on record, says the Greenville On.
c. correspondent of the Philadel-
| phia Press, is about to be heard be-
fore the Supreme Court of this State,
growing out of mortgage on his
own person, made by white man
named John Hande, of Pitt County,
in this State, securing Sim Taker,
cotton planter, for debt due him.
The deed reads: II, John Hando,
of the county of Pitt, in the State
of North Carolina, am indebted to
Jim Taker, of tho State and county
aforesaid, in the sum of S26, for
which he holds my note, to be due
on the lth day of January, 1884,
and to secure the payment of the
same | do hereby convey to him
these articles of personal property
Ito wit: Myself to work with him
long enough TO pay this debt; but
on this special trust, that if | fail to
pay said debt, right away, then he,
the said Taker, or his assigns, may
sell me at the courthouse door, for
credit or cash, as he thinks best
after giving twenty days public
notice, at three public places, and
apply the proceeds of such sale to
the discharge of said debt, and in
terest on the same, and cost and eX-
pense of making such sale, and pay
the surplus, any, to me. Given
under my hand and seal this the
18th day of January, 1884"
Hando failed to pay the amount
due Taker, and the creditor was at
liberty, under the terms of the deed,
to sell him at public auction. Some
time before the expiration Of the
twenty days grace allowed the
mortgaged debtor the news got cut,
and the courthouse green was crowd
ed with people expecting to witness
the novel sale of white man. An
injunction was granted by the Su-
preme Court, and no sale took place.
The Supreme Court will hear the
case.

days, and when they left pied the establishment
It is true that he never threwa press into the

ing of an Office being mobbed there until 1876
he uttered willful falsehood He did know it,
and hundreds of others know that he knew it
When he says there was rebel paper there at
the time, he again falsifes There had been no
paper printed there for more than three months
before he reached Carrollton. He and his crowd
held tho Office for several weeks, and did print
small sheet, but he tells a third falsehood when
he says they pied the establishment when they
left The pieing was done the first night they
arrived at Carrollton; but when they left they
robbed me of several musical instruments which

The Brown County Outlook.

Correspondence OF the indianapolis Journal.
NASHVILLE, Sept 25.-Brown county had been
billed at every point, asking the people to come
out on the Oath and hear the 'Tall Sycamore
discuss the political issues involved in the present
campaign. He came. but owing to the lack of
enthusiasm Of the good Democrats he hadn't a
corporal's guard to hear him, and begged the
'sblowhard,n Of the Brown county committee, to
insist upon the people to come out and
listen to him on the 23d of next month
The Republicans will gain at least two
hundred votes, as the cause of Democracy
and free trade does not meet the appreciation
of the hard thinking men of Brown. Calkins
died wondrous work here He opened wide
the doors of the political church and many DEM
ocrats acknowledged their belief in protection.
Brown county Democrats don't think the Re
publicans will carry the State by over 1000, but
Republicans of wider understanding anticipate
a victory of much greater magnitude. When
Governor Porter addresses us on the 18th of
next month we will give him great turnout.

THE CATTLE PLAGUE.
The Government Authorities Fully Satisfied
Of the Presence Of Plearo-Pneumonia

CHICAGO, Sept 26.-Some days ago the Chica-
60 livestock Exchange passed resolutions and
forwarded them to Commissioner Loring, of
the Department Of Agriculture, expressing
doubt as to the truth of the reports of the
Bureau of Animal Industry concerning the
existence of pleuro- pneumonia in the West and
proposing as an experiment, to bear all the
expense of placing ten head of cattle, in a pas.
ture with the alleged infected herds to learn
whether they would contract the disease Com
missioner Loring referred this communication
to DR.. D. E. Salmon chief of the Bureau of
Animal Industry, for such action as he
might deem advisable DR. Salmon's
reply is furnished the Associated Press by
the Breeders Gazette. He traces the existing
disease from its source in herd Of unregistered
Jerseys bought by c. r. G. Dye, near Baltimore,
last fall, and taken TO Troy, o. shows how the
eontagion spread By distribution of these cattle
and by distribution from herds thus infected,
covering in this way all the points at which cat
tie nave died recently of alleged pleuro -pneu-
monia, or have been examined by the bureau
and been pronounced afflicted with the lung
plague. That it is genuine contagious pleuro-
pneumonia, he asserts is amply proved by the
concurrence Of every competent veterinarian
who has seen post-mortems of these cattle made.
de points out that these involuntary expert
ments by catte-owners have been on a much
larger scale than that proposed by the Stock Elk
change; that six, hundred head of cattle have
been exposed, and that while, in the largest
nerds, the effect of such contagion was only be-
ginning TO be apparent no less than ninety head
have died or been killed as result Of having
thus contracted the plague. He saws it would
take from three to five months to complete the
proposed experiment, which has already been
tried more thoroughly than this would try it,
and that to suspend the efforts to stamp out this
menance to Western herds, in the meantime,
would be criminal He therefore declines the
proposition of the Stock Exchange and refers il
to those whose cattle have been slaughtered for
facts as to the disease in their herds
