NEW AGRICULTURAL STATION

Which Is to Make 50 Speshiality Jes' o. Bees"
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-An agricultural station
has recently been established at Aurora, ILL.,, in
connection with the chronological division of
the Department of Agriculture. Mr.. Nelson W.
McLain has been appointed to take charge of the
station, and Professor Riley has instructed him
to pay particular attention to the following sub
jects: To secure the introduction and domesti-
cation Of such races of bees as are reported
to possess desirable traits and charac-
teristics to test the claims of such Iaces
of bees as to excellence, and to prove by
experiments their value to the agriculturists of
the United States, and their adaptation to our
climate and honey producing flora; to make ex.
periments in the crossing and mngling of races
and by proper application of the laws of breed
ing, endeavor to secure the type or types best
adapted by habit and constitution to the uses of
practical bee keepers in the United States; to
make experiments in the methods of
artificial fertilization; also to test the
various methods of preparing bees for
winter, to gather statistics concerning the bee
keeping industry in the United States, to make
experiments with and observations concerning
varieties Of honey producing plants for bee for
age; to study the true cause causes of diseases
yet imperfecty understood, and to obtain incon-
testab.e results, by intelligent experiments upon
scientific methods, as to the capacity of bees
under exceptional circumstances to injure
fruit. l. e., to set at rest the ever discussed
question of bees VS.. fruit

THE BLOODY SHIRT.
Virginia BOurbons Will Flaunt 1t and Raise
Vail

Virginia Bourbons Will Flaunt 1t and Raise
the Rebel Yell.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-For years the Demo
cratic party has been bowling at the Republicans
for waving the bloody shirt" They have
claimed that it was beyond the poles of
decency, apd was taking undue advantage Of
thu situation to arouse the people to support Re-
publican candidates. The Democrats of Vir-
ginia, however, are preparing to do the most
complete job Of bloody,shirt waving the country
has ever witnessed. The nomination of General
Fitzhugh Lee, nephew of the illustrious confed-
crate Robert E. Lee, was for no other purpose
than to arouse the dormant rebel patriotism
in the Old Dominion, and to reorganize the
bulldozers and rihemen. 1t is the purpose OF
the Bourbons to open the grave of the dead Gen.
Lee and raise the rebel yell-cal upon the boys
in gray to rally to the command of their old
leader, and march to victory. The grim visage
of the lost cause is to stalk forth again, and
most savage attack will be made progress,
honest government, free ballot and protection
to the colored man.
Already Tie steady roll of the drums is heard
in Virginia. The rebel yell will llgGon 60 up, and
then the colored freeman may we'll take to his
tent and remain there till the ballots are counted
in November.
To further this campaign of Lee, on the score
of blood, the Bourbons of Virginia rushed to the
President when Mrs. Grant requested him to
name prominent eX confederate and promi-
nent ex Union soldier to represent the South and
North as pall-bearers at the funeral of General
Grant, and asked that Fitzhugh Lee be named!
Such a bold dash for vantage ground in politics
has not been seen here before. True, Fitzhugh
Lee could represent the South and Confederacy,
for he is from the South and was
General in the confederate army;
but in the face of the fact
that he has just been nominated for the govern
orship it is noted as avn effort to gain notoriety.
It has well been asked, ''why was not the son Of
General Robert E. Lee who is professor in
Virginia college, not in politics, and the most
fitting representative of the Confederacy and the
South, recommended by the Bourbons for desig
nation as pail bearer, if it were not advertise
ment that was wanteda" 1t was well the Presi-
dent saw through the scheme.
The Bourbons of the Old Dominion are going
to give one more ferce rebel yell and call the
boys together once more, and if desperation does
not succeed they will disband.

A Steady Down-Pour of Rain All Day, and
Great Damage Done to Property.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2.--Commencing shortly after
daylight this morning, rain has fallen here
without intermission. Early in the day the
rain poured down in torrents, and hardly
Stacked up to what could be called
drizzle until late in the afternoon.
Now 10 P. NJ the storm is becom-
ing heavier, filing the people with apprehension
of deluge and indications seem to point to
steady pour all night. Twelve hours from the
commencement of the storm the signal service
Office reported rainfall of SIS inches. At
this hour it must be quite six inches. The
damage to property in the city through flooded
Easements is very great. Since early this evening
the department police have been in receipt of a
constant stream of reports of damage of this ma
ture. At o'clock the elevators in the new
Opera house building, at the corner of Clark and
Washington streets, ceased 10 run. The water
in the basement had put out the fires under the
boilers. There are similar complaints from
many sources.

GREAT FIRE AT TORONTO.
The Confagration Extends 0ne-Half Mile
and the Loss Reported To Be Enormous.

TcsxoNTo Aug 3.-One of the most destruc
tive fires that has ever taken place in Toronto
commenced about 1890 this morning, in the
large brick building erected by the
Toronto Sugar Refinery Company, on
the 'esplanade. A strong wind blowing
from the east carried chunks
of burning timbers along the esplanade, igniting
wooden buildings as far west as six blocks In
short time nothing was left of the sugar re-
The buildings of Saulter, Evans,
Heaks Gunselles, and Ibbotson, all boat
builders, Ried & Co. and Welsh & Co., lumber
merchants, Currie Martin & Co., and other
buildings are in fames and unless the wind
changes, the whole south side of the
esplanade will have to succumb.
Sparks are flying and lodging on the
lei -Rarehousss on Front and
Wellington streets, and fears are entertained
that several of them may take fire. The fire
brigade are, and have been, working man
fully, but their efforts seem powerless.
The streets are lined with thousands of people.
The loss will be enormous. Three schooners
are burned to the waters edge. The fire is over
half a mile in length.
2;45 A. M-The work of destruction on the
esplanade still goes on, the flames having
reached the foot of Yonge street, all
the intervening buildings and wharves
having been burned to the ground. The Great
Western freig hit sheds, formerly the passenger
station, on the north side of the
esplanade, is in imminent danger,
and it is expected to be in flames
every moment The steamer Chicora, is getting
up steam, to 60 out into the lake. The steamer
Ontario got up steam, and began to
tow out the steamer Mazeppa but schooner
blockaded the way, and they could not
get out. The Mazeppa has caught fire, and all
three will have to succumb to the flames. Unless
the wsnd changes, the whole south side of the es-
planade as far as Union station will undoubtedly
perish Showers of sparks are being carried to the
opposite side of the street, and if the buildings
there catch fire, there is no saying what i'm
mense damage will be done. The fire brigade
is absolutely powerless.
1t is feared Waterman Worth, of the sugar
refining factory, has lost his life, as he has not
been seen since the fire started.
William McCullum, seaman, is dangerously
burned about the head.
Several elevators, coal yards, schooners,
ferry boats, warehouses and many Lighthouses
are among the property burned. The loss so far
is estimated at over 81, 100000
$3.50 A. M-So far the fire has been unable
to cross the gap between Scott and Yourge
street wharves, but is completing the destruc-
ton on the path it has already travelled.
4 hurricane has just sprung up from
the northeast, which threatens to drive
the fire across the street to the
main part of the city, but the buildings
on the south side are burned so nearly to the
ground, that unless the main part of the city
catches fire from sparks it is thought to be safe.
4:30 A. M-The fire is now under control. 1t
is impossible to obtain losses and insurance to-
night.

was worthy Of the best regulars, yet jeff Davis
smirched their record there. 1t was fully re-
deemed in the late war that was originated by
the arch traitor. And on no battlefield was
their heroism better displayed than at Gettys-
burg. The cavalry under Buford held Seminary
ridge until General Reynolds arrived with the
first corps. The troops under Marshal Mac
Donald, at Wagram, did no better service than
did the cavalry on the first day at Gettysburg,
and am proud to say that the Third Indiana
Cavalry was distinguished there for its heroic
deeds. 1t was ready 10 sacrifice the last man to

DR.. Leonard Tells His Methodist Brethren
What They Must Do.

URBANA o., Aug. DIR. Leonard, in his speech
here Tuesday night, thus drew the reins and
cracked the whip over the backs of his Method
ist brethren: "And now-a word to my Method
ist brethren. I would like to have you all in a
class room by ourselves to talk to you for
awhile, but as we can't do that I'll talk to you
right here. At the last meeting of the General
Conference of our church, there was a resolu-
ton adopted, solemnly opposing all regulation
or taxation of the liquor traffic, and declaring
the doctrine of prohibition as the policy of the
church. The prohibition party has adopted the
substance of that resolution for its platform.
Therefore have beneath my feet the platform
of the Methodist Church and the platform of
the prohibition party. Now the Republican
party has declared in favor of regulation and
taxation. No Methodist can vote the Republi-
can ticket and be true to his church. He must
come into the party that has indorsed the plat

How He Provided for the Burial of General
Rawlins.

WASHINGTON, Ang. 2.-"General Grant was
magnanimous man in every respect observed
an old soldier, at the War Department. in con-
versation with your correspondent. II we'll re-
member, continued he, when John A. Rawlins,
Grants first Secretary of War, died. It was re-
ported that Rawlins had left his family in
destitute circumstances. General Grant saw
that the obsequies were fitting to the position of
the deceased, and paid the expenses out of his
kown purse. The remains of Rawlins were de-
posted for several months in the vault at the
Congressional Cemetery. Finally it became
necessary to remove them for final interment
The sexton sent President Grant note, saying
the remains must be taken from the vault and
permanently inferred, but that there was no lot
for burial.
SAT this time the widow of fRawlins had good
deal of money subscription of 800, 900
had been raised for her, but she had married
again. and failed to provide resting place for
body of her first husband Well, General Grant
was equal to the emergency again. He pur-
chased lot and paid for it himself. Then he
called his Cabinet together and asked the mem
bers to 90 with him to the burial. They accom-
panied MIN. When the casket was opened the
corpse was found in perfect state of preserva-
ton every feature natural Grant and one
member of the Cabinet were the only ones that
looked at it. Then an improvised funeral cor
tege was arrangen and honor paid to the memory
of the dead officer as the remains were laid per-
manently away. Grant was much affected, and
planted shrub with his own hands over the
grave. He was, withal the most complete man
l ever knew. He was always equal to any oc-
casion.n
